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 …

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.

LOL, yeah, that makes sense!

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”.
-
He has a term via Fisher, “capitalist realism”, what aims to describe this no alternatives outlook. https://youtu.be/uGld3FbDY6s

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.
