      Jordan Peterson rightfully targets postmodernism for its reliance on crazy empowerment myths, but he does it through the crosshairs of his own equally crazy empowerment myths. Still, Peterson's craziness - unlike that of his many critics in media/academia - at least seems sincere

      That's a rather unfair characterizations of his opinions, which seek to align evidence across domains, including the mythological, historical, psychological, neuroscientific, and economic. The literal antithesis of PoMo.

      He measures the validity of truth by its utility, which is exactly what postmodernists do.

      I think that's an uncharitable characterization of his epistemology. Postmodernists are most certainly not pragmatists. And he doesn't measure it by utility, he seems to imply that he measures it by adaptive capacity. Different concepts.

      Adaptive capacity is a form of utility. Peterson has some good arguments & ideas, but too often he uses mythology as a substitute for fact. His debate with Sam Harris gives you a clear idea of Peterson's approach to truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8TDbXO6dkk …

      I've listened to both conversations between Peterson and Harris. I also think you have it backwards, which probably explains your perceptions on the topic. Utility is a word we use to narrowly describe the individually-mediated element of overall adaptive capacity.

      And this is literally the crux of the Harris / Peterson epistemological debate. Which of those perspectives supersedes the other with respect to the Newtonian / Darwinian models of "truth"? Given that concepts are merely part of evolution, the answer seems rather clear to me.

      However you interpret Peterson's view on truth, it leads to a dead end. How can Peterson be sure that his assertion that "rationality is merely an evolutionary construct" be true if he arrived at this conclusion rationally? But wait, he arrived at it through... dum dum dum... Godpic.twitter.com/lMyRJIs2bJ

          Whatever else he may say that is profound, this tweet alone is sufficient for me to hold him in suspicion (though it's not a one-off; he often allows mythology and mysticism to trespass into the realm of science).

          I think it's an intellectual hazard to weight a single tweet so heavily when so of his deeper material is freely available. His point regarding Godel is a deep one, and one that I've also made for over a decade now. No system escapes this truth. Science not only also bottoms...

          Any followers of peterson who see him as an arch-rationalist seem to simply misunderstand what he says. Not only is he not a rationalist, he doesn't really believe in the notion of objective truth at all. Any statement he says is "true" he really means "works practically"
