I'm here. I agree with you on the problem of blank slatism, disagree bible stories & Jungian archetypes help with this, agree postmodernism is at the root of the SocJus problem, disagree on why & how, agree we need to defend free speech, disagree on sexual morality. Best I can dohttps://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/999291589414588418 …

Can you name some blank slatists in modern academia with sources to their supposed blank slatism?

Dozens, yes. The academic term for this is 'social constructivism,' you can find numerous sources on Google Scholar searching that term. I recommend The Norwegian Gender Paradox to see some in action & the debate between Spelke and Pinker. Gender Trouble by Judith Butler. 1/2

That's the founder of Queer Theory and the book in which she sets out the main thesis that gender is a social construct. Mapping the Margins by Kimberlé Crenshaw in which she sets out the foundations for intersectionality saying it depends on PoMo ideas of cultural constructivism

Those are key texts. Steven Pinker also looks at several in 'The Blank Slate.' But throughout identity studies of all kinds, you will find that social constructivism is assumed & the word 'construct' throughout. Feminist epistemology & critical race theory are based in this too.
