re: WSJ piece about Jill Biden gets author cancelled from Northwestern

quote:

“I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general,” Goldberg said on the air in March. “She’s a hell of a doctor. She’s an amazing doctor.”

Back in March Whoopi was confused as well. Going into “hell of a doctor”and “amazing doctor” shows you how full of crap she is.

I honestly rarely hear PhDs being called or referred to as doctor as often as she has been.

Also misogynistic is used now for any criticism for her and Kamela and even just disagreeing with them. Kamala was worst candidate in debates and early campaign, but it will be sexist and racist to point that out and anything that isn’t 100% positive in future. Same people pushing this don’t care what they have said about Melanie Or Ivanka past 4 years. Hunter will be off limits as a son of Biden even as they made fun of Trump’s youngest son.

Whoopi thinks she should be Surgeon General. One you are Surgeon General you can be head of the Military because you are a general!!!

So you are one of those “opinion can’t be wrong” people. Well firstly, the guy is saying something that could possibly be verified through analysis. He isn’t saying “I like chocolate,” he is suggesting a lack of rigor in all PhD’s based on his own experience. That can be verifiable, and argued and wrestled with, because it is a massive claim. There is certainly a difference between claims of preference, and claims of universal experience, which is what this author explicitly argues. Yet I can’t take issue with that? What kind of truth-seeking operation is that? We can easily look at the tradition of liberal education, and see what has replaced what in the course of earning a doctorate, and make an opinion based on that, correct?

How can you quantify something like "mass perception" or even an individual's perception? It can't be done. While you say "they guy is saying something that could possibly be verified through analysis," how so? Take a mandated poll of the entire U.S. and ask their perception upon higher learning degrees and their current state of regard in the eyes of the public? While information that someone bases their opinion can be wrong, that does not nullify the opinion, because the opinion still in fact is formed and exists in the mind of the person. Once again, to hold your own opinion higher than another presupposes that you are truly the only great, divine, and all knowing being to currently walk the Earth.

As for liking chocolate, he essentially did say, "I like chocolate," but rather it was in the form of "I think certain higher education degrees aren't as esteemed of times past." Both express his opinion. However, as I noted earlier, the opinion is irrelevant, this is about people throwing fits with opinions that they don't like. Even more so when they base this belief on the fact that they are more educated or have experienced more than the other person. Opinions are immune to any analysis for specificity. Except perhaps, with regard to the frequency (or specific date) in which one has expressed the opinion, or other things like that.

As for Mrs. Biden, she can call herself Dr. Bada Bing Crosby for all I care, but the real crux of our direct discourse, and with society at large, is this misguided notion that because you study something for a few years, you are simply done learning and become an authority on the subject.

Amazing.

You’re saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the fact that the opinion exists is greater than its relationship to truth or falsity. You can see why such a position is a fallacious line of logic? Having an opinion isn’t some defense against nonsense. You can have an opinion, and be mistaken, wrong, ignorant, operating on incomplete information. Every one of us make these sorts of judgements every day. The implications of taking the “opinion” that opinions themselves are intractable is utterly amazing, and you should work this out for yourself, because I don’t think you understand the argument you are making.

Utter nonsense. I’ve already said what I mean, in that I do not see his opinion reflected in the actual on-the-ground reality. Generally, at this point, you could offer evidence, like how Ph.D’s in years past required this mastery of classes and now they don’t, etc, to which I would offer a riposte. I’m literally talking about one small part of my experience, comparing it to the author’s and disagreeing. Why you seem so heavily invested in this dude’s column, that you literally invented a position for me and then ascribed it to me, as you did in your first post, and then continued talking about nonsense is beyond me.

I’m guessing you just don’t like the Biden’s, which is fair, and read into my post a defense of the Biden’s that I didn’t make. And now you’re repeating literal logical fallacies at me without a thought or care in the world.

This isn't Jill Biden's first rodeo and 99% of non-medical doctors don't demand that people refer to them as doctors. Of course we're all expected to worship the ground politicians on the left walk on so its only naturally anyone who doesn't toe the line is cast off as nullified.

article from 2013 criticizing Jill Biden for demanding she be called doctor

quote:

---

Epstein wrote that Jill Biden – the wife of President-elect Joe Biden -- using “Dr.” before her name “sounds and feels fraudulent, not to say a touchsu comic,” because her doctorate is in education, not medicine or science.

---

Is her husband an honary unwitting Doctor of deceit or deflection, on behalf on the lunatic left to summarily install the Kamauler, post election?

´Tis my question.

I didn’t know she wasn’t a medical doctor until this thread. The way everyone in the media refers to her as “Doctor Jill Biden” it sure as frick did seem like she was a medical doctor. Michelle Obama earned a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law. She didn’t make everyone call her Doctor Michelle Obama...

Oh my god. Maybe the media didn’t refer to Michelle Obama as Dr. Michelle Obama because they are racist!

quote:

Going by “doctor” in non-professional setting (regardless of your profession) is pretty douchey, but not for the reasons that the writer brought forth.

I kinda Agree.

She doesn’t have to drop it for Mrs. but they call her Dr Jill like that’s what’s on her birth certificate.

Like there is a context for President Trump and a time when you can call Him Donald Trump without being disrespectful.
