RationalWiki<p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Deepity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deepity</span></a> is a term employed by Daniel Dennett in his 2009 speech to the American Atheists conference, coined by the teenage daughter of one of his friends. The term refers to a statement that is apparently profound but actually asserts a triviality on one level and something meaningless on another. Generally, a deepity has (at least) two meanings: one that is true but trivial, and another that sounds profound, but is essentially false or meaningless and would be "earth-shattering" if true. To the extent that it's true, it doesn't have to matter. To the extent that it has to matter, it isn't true (if it actually means anything). This second meaning has also been called "pseudo-profound bullshit".</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RationalWiki</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DanielDennett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DanielDennett</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bullshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bullshit</span></a><br><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Deepity" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">rationalwiki.org/wiki/Deepity</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

RationalWiki<p>Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, a retired University of Toronto psychology professor, and Ultracrepidarian par excellence. He has falsely claimed to be both an evolutionary biologist and a neuroscientist but he is neither. He has been regarded as a member of the informal Intellectual Dark Web, which has been described as a gateway into the alt-right.</p><p>Peterson has authored or coauthored more than 90 peer-reviewed articles on clinical psychology, social psychology, and personality theory. However, Peterson is mostly known for his conservative views on religion, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> issues, and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a>, and for his <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/incel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>incel</span></a>- and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MGTOW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MGTOW</span></a>-heavy audience. Although Peterson frequently makes morally questionable claims and engages in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/pseudoscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pseudoscience</span></a>, his statements are notoriously incoherent, ambiguous, and jargon-laden, sometimes rising above vacuousness to the level of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/deepity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deepity</span></a>, …</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RationalWiki</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/jordanpeterson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jordanpeterson</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/IntellectualDarkWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntellectualDarkWeb</span></a> <br><a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Jordan_Peterson" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rationalwiki.org/wiki/Jordan_P</span><span class="invisible">eterson</span></a></p>
