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.

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

Replying to @Meaningness
I don't think there's a contradiction here if one understands "postmodern neo-Marxism" to be a religious tradition. Squabbling over irrelevant issues is part of how a swarm internally organizes itself and reacts to stimuli.

Yes, that’s exactly where I wanted to other-hand @ContraPoints. There *is* a thing there; and the fact that it’s intellectually incoherent doesn’t mean it doesn’t have power.
@jordanbpeterson is maybe erring by taking too seriously the intellectual pretensions of the activists.
