Would a reasonably precise AI-based website devoted to identifying postmodern/Neomarxist courses/professors/disciplines for students do more

I'm a bit confused of your wording. For the current postmodernists, maybe. For the not yet indoctrinated, avoiding postmodern ideology is positively healthy for their "moral responsibility."
-
Indicting postmodernists is no different than indicting non-postmodernists. Same argument, different sides. I am not talking about their victims, I am talking about the people who carry the ideas.
-
I agree with you, but the context here is not "indictment." Indictment would look more like if professor Peterson had personally fired postmodern professors. He is instead letting the free flow of student's individual judgement to see those professors go.
-
Judgement is formed on one's own reason, facts, arguments, and evidence. If we allow an AI to do all that for us, what does that say about our position, about the strength of our argument, about our personal understanding?
-
Again, the fact that professor Peterson's website will say "the class is corrupt: avoid" is in and of itself a form of "reason, facts, arguments, and evidence." Whether the individual chooses to agree/disagree is up to the him/her. Don't you think, more evidence the better?
-
Evidence, yes. Appeal to authority, whether in the form of AI, Dr. Peterson, or any other form, no.
-
I'm no fan of "Appeal to authority." But whether people believe use the website and its concluding remarks because of an AI or professor Peterson is an assumption that covers everyone, which I'm not ready to accept. Again, I think its up to the individual.
-
We both insist on the individual, in slightly different ways.
