I’m so curious: on a scale from 1 to 10, how wrong do you think Jordan Peterson is about PoMo? 1 being not at all, 10 being completely wrong. I’ve read convincing arguments putting him on both sides of the scale.

I've not actually heard him address it much but he might have done. I don't listen to him much. He uses the word a lot & conflates it with Marxism & it's hard to be more wrong than that but maybe he gets into the ideas & the epistemology seriously somewhere I haven't seen.
-
Most of his connecting PoMo with Marxism comes from Stephen Hicks’ argument in his book “Explaining Postmodernism.” Bourgeoisie Vs Proletariat broadened to Oppressor Vs Oppressed through power & language games after Marxism failed: logic & reason oppressive western constructs etc
-
Hicks has some nuance here and also includes a section on epistemology. I will be writing a piece soon called 'Why postmodernism is not simply cultural Marxism' coz I am sick of arguing about it.

Most French folk simply refuse to speak English, and would rather pretend they don't understand you. So don't feel bad. It's not you, it's them. They're culturally programmed to blame you for any misunderstanding.

Use a French Canadian accent – much easier on the throat!

That's alright - just counter with as many Anglo-Saxon names as you can until his larynx explodes.

If it's any consolation, I've never been able to roll my R's. My Spanish teachers used to give me such a hard time for it, but I just can't do it. When I try, I sound like a cat attempting to purr while having a seizure.
