    My work is often compared with @jordanbpeterson’s. I’ve had trouble understanding quite where he’s coming from. This podcast made clear that yes, we do say similar things about many issues. I did want to “on the other hand” him sometimes, though.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/995332885224837120 …

    🎙 @jordanbpeterson with @TomAmarque Gosh, JP talking about how my PhD thesis work addresses the problem of postmodernism. For context start at 21:35; discussion at 23:00. He doesn't mention me by name, but I did do this first... https://youtu.be/ig4rdWXJFHw?t=21m34s …

        This is a splendid on-the-other-handing. It’s deliberately ridiculous (a technique I often use myself); but mostly not ridiculing @jordanbpeterson. Rather, analyzing and explaining the intellectual background to his arguments, and pointing out flaws.https://twitter.com/mtraven/status/996137537675542529 …

        This Jordan Peterson response is definitely the best yet. Made my day. https://youtu.be/4LqZdkkBDas

        This point stuck out for me—probably as much for the phrasing, and its even-handed contempt for all sides, as for the content. (I am not sure whether this accurately characterizes @jordanbpeterson’s position; nor does @ContraPoints, as she immediately admits.)pic.twitter.com/z9uzgSVQPu

        The @ContraPoints performance explicitly endorses several of @jordanbpeterson’s points. Notably: the contemporary left has a lot to say about what is bad, and not enough about what would be better. A realistic vision of a future good society is critically lacking on all sides.

        Heh, the similarity has been quite obvious. I’d assumed you’d already spotted it. I think Jordan has much more of a crisis-response structure to his program, while you’re mostly just noting a crisis without structuring your work as a response to it. Big urgency delta as a result.

        Yes, people have been pointing it out for a long time. I just haven’t had time to follow up to understand his program properly.

        Thanks! Others have said that, though; and after listening to that podcast, I think it’s broadly correct. With lots of “on the other hand”s, definitely.

        I just haven’t read/watched enough to have an overview understanding of the shape of it.
