      Just been talking about postmodernism with a Frenchman & realising how wrongly I pronounce all their names. Still, I couldn't say 'Baudrillard' correctly without coughing up my larynx so I'm just going to live with it.

      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.
