Is there a better symbol of western collapse than Jordon Peterson being regarded by the establishment as a "great mind"?
Most other times in History, a guy telling you to take life lessons from lobsters wouldn't get further than having a regular street corner to rant from.

Nah, incorrect.
Hucksters have always had good business. And Peterson, for all his faults, is at least a learned psychologist.
Establishment always promotes what they think will benefit them. At best, you're mapping a correlation between neolib values and establishment, so...
Peterson says weird conservative stuff on a fairly regular basis, but his actual politics are neolib even on social issues.
He's a hardcore moderate, scared of turning dials.
So establishment embracing him is totally unsurprising. It maintains a veneer of ideological openness.
