Meanwhile Yiannopoulos then falsely blames Peterson for all the subsequent problems that Goldy faced as if the only thing that ‘killed’ her ‘career’ was Peterson. Peterson was right to disassociate himself from Goldy, but then he was wrong to associate himself with her in the first place but his own confused views on ‘free speech’ is exactly why he was associating with her and if he’d thought that through Peterson wouldn’t have the media career he currently has. These are bickering and inconsistent arguments made in bad faith about people who act in bad faith towards one another. More to the point the basic dilemma of trying to review this book is made manifest before we’ve even left the introduction. Goldy is, as far as I can tell, a racist but then my standards are luckily not those of Milo Yiannopoulos. Jordanetics: A Journey Into the Mind of Humanity’s Greatest Thinker (Kindle Locations 116-122). After all, if you’re too much for the “extreme” Jordan Peterson, you must really be beyond the pale, right? Goldy has since been physically assaulted by protesters.”ĭay, Vox. Peterson made her untouchable-persona non grata-and he did so knowing what the consequences to her life would be.

I would not personally appear on the Daily Stormer podcast, especially not in the wake of Charlottesville. “Remember Faith Goldy? She was booted from a conference line-up by Peterson, who un-personed his fellow panelist with a classic mealy-mouthed non-explanation, insinuating that she was “too hot a property.” Goldy has made some mistakes, appearing on podcasts with unsavory characters.
