Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson shared this disturbing news today:

“Mandatory social media communication retraining” sure sounds a lot like “re-education”.

The announcement caught the eye of Twitter owner Elon Musk:

It certainly is.

Peterson clarified the situation further:

Peterson must either undergo the retraining or risk the possible loss of his clinical license via a disciplinary hearing. Even a passing acquaintance with Peterson’s views on such tactics and proceedings makes it clear he won’t go down without a fight:

Per their website, the College of Psychologists of Ontario defines it’s purpose as follows:

The College of Psychologists of Ontario is the governing body for psychological practitioners, Psychologists and Psychological Associates, in Ontario. The College is not a university, school or community college; its mandate is to protect the public interest by monitoring and regulating the practice of psychology.

It’s not clear what Peterson’s social media posts have to do with his ability to ethically maintain his license, and the CPO has not responded to the claim. More than a few people dropped by their Twitter page to note the similarities between this situation and a certain anti-dystopian literary classic:

Perfect.

Great question, and a great reminder that 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual.
