Evaluating Jordan Peterson on his own terms, as a mythologist, helps explain why his political views so reactionary, and why, ultimately, his ideas are so outdated. http://bit.ly/2ITT2v8 pic.twitter.com/MISZeQwvhf

@HeerJeet this goes rather abruptly from “this scholar has a mistaken idea of myth as unchanging that renders his conclusions flawed” to “he is a musty fraud.”
I think if a scholar willfully ignores critiques of the tradition he belongs to & also believes in pseudo-science (as with Peterson's thoughts that the ancient Chinese & others intuited DNA) then "musty fraud" is apt, even generous.
