Jordan Peterson’s age was 58 when this post was published in November 2020, but his field is misstated. Authoritative biographies identify him as a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology, not an anthropologist.

The University of Toronto’s faculty biography describes Peterson as a professor emeritus of psychology and a clinical psychologist. Penguin Random House’s author page likewise says he worked for decades as a clinical psychologist and professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto.

So the error here is specifically the word "anthropologist."

This is a subtle but real institutional error. Feynman’s first seminar at Princeton is indeed widely described as having an audience that included Einstein, Pauli, and von Neumann. But Princeton’s own historical materials explain that Albert Einstein was not on the Princeton University faculty: he was appointed to the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), which is a distinct organization, not part of Princeton University.

Princeton University states flatly that "Albert Einstein was never on the faculty at Princeton". Princeton’s archives further explain that the IAS and Princeton have intertwined histories but "they are not" the same institution. IAS history materials identify John von Neumann as an IAS recruit and Wolfgang Pauli as part of the IAS group as well.

So the misleading part is not that these famous physicists attended the seminar; it is describing them as "faculty at his university" rather than as scholars associated with the separate IAS.
