      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 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.

          I'm sure China will be willing to provide us with a lovely dystopian one while the Left & Right continue to squabble over small fry issues. A consequence of western democracy is it's short-termism & lack of big project utopian vision as you likely know already.

          Yes… although… it’s not Western democracy as such. For centuries, that had long-term, substantive, successful projects. It’s postmodernity that produces triviality. Chinese leadership is trying to maintain modernity as long as possible. I don’t know how long that can be.

          "Pomo-neo-Marxism" is a powerful unified philosophy bent on the destruction of Western civilization, thru mutual-bumbling and squabbling over every micro issue.--that IS Peterson's view.

          Douglas Lane at Zero Books has been picking at Peterson for a few months. As a critical theory guy, he’s probably at the epicenter of what Peterson is upset about (if it’s not all just carpet chewing) with “neo-marxists”.

          Peterson is post-Rational. Not personally, but as an icon. He represents the power of individual Rhetoric to transform the way thoughts get thought on a grand scale.
