one thing that really pisses me off about this clown is that he has an uncanny knack to make the most mundane sound like the most apocalyptic poo poo you've ever heard of in your life. like right here, he's trying to make is sound terrifying that "BUREAUCRATS" can decide "BY FIAT", where you're "ALLOWED TO DRIVE" :ohdear:

like...yes? we have people from the government that decide where we're allowed to walk, drive, litter, etc. this has been going on since the invention of the public space. but this dipshit comes and makes it sound like zoning/traffic regulations are the concoction of some lovecraftian marx/foucalt acolyte that got a job at the dmv or something

That rear end in a top hat has never driven a Fiat in his life. An Uno goes any drat place it wants (usually nowhere, it won’t start)

Yes, a blockchain degree you get from answering multiple choice questions is as valid as one you receive after 3 years instruction from an accredited institution.

There isn’t a single use case for blockchain that hasn’t already been solved more effectively by conventional means. I can’t see how this would be any different.

As mentioned, it wouldn't work at all, there's nothing about blockchain that does anything here that isn't an entirely solved problem already. I suppose his idea is that since a blockchain is theoretically an immutable ledger whose entries cannot be changed after the fact, you could write "Jordan Peterson is totally a real and valid licensed psychologist" in there and then nobody could remove that later even if he calls for phrenology-based voting rights or whatever he's up to nowadays.

Of course that instantly falls flat if you do run into a case where a license legitimately does need to be revoked for gross misconduct, or if somebody was given an incorrect license by mistake or fraud.

Well, he's saying he wants to create a hypothetical test that is administered and scored in a consistent, or "standard", manner. These hypothetical tests are designed in such a way that the questions and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, "standard" manner.

Also, its multiple choice and on the blockchain

It's like a college/university transcript, but instead of course credits it contains how many standardized quiz questions you answered correctly. With it you can then just go to the Harvard office and they'll look up your record and say "whoa, this guy, with the SSN X got 90 out of 100 hard questions about Wehrmacht history right, let's hand him a PhD!". To decrypt your record and verify it you need a private key. If you accidentally lose it you have to do all the tests again and cram for them.

The entire thing is absolutely pointless. It's a shittier version of a college transcript. It's a complete waste of time. The idea has zero redeemable qualities.

I'm willing to bet that he has no idea what blockchain is, but the same people that get suckered in by Jordan Peterson are the same people that get suckered in by blockchain and whatever bullshit Silicon Valley falls for, and he's not above falling for it himself because it's all the same people and they massage each others' egos.

Christ, I could feel my soul die when I saw Peterson in Silicon Valley telling all these techbros how awesome they are and how much of a scientific fact that is.
