There's a channel called Cass Eris where a psych PhD picks through the references and arguments in 12 Rules...and the take away is that the self-help and psych stuff is very far from legit. Highly recommend. I'm also reminded of a court case in which Peterson's expert testimony was rejected for not being scientifically rigorous I understand the impulse to pass a measured judgement on a controversial person, which, in Peterson's case, means granting him eminence or expertise in his field, but I don't think even that's warranted.

Part 3: Does Peterson understand Zemyatin?

@Daneelro Uh...no...? I add the ? because maybe there's something I'm missing, but if Peterson's anything, it's not a deconstructionist. Deconstruction, by some definitions, involves the reversal of hierarchical binary oppositions in order to expose the historical and non-essential nature of their distinction, undermining the binary opposition and creating a field of undecidable differences. Where does Peterson do that? He's the opposite of a deconstructionist: an inveterate binary thinker, a proponent of hierarchical ordering, who almost always favors tradition and power. He's a conservative thinker in the truest sense. Which is not to say that there aren't conservative forms of postmodern thought; but Peterson isn't an example of them. Maybe people are mistaking Peterson's tendency to be a lazy, sloppy thinker for being "postmodern."

@Daneelro As a follow-up, the most comprehensive study to-date of conservative postmodernism, by Matthew McManus (available on libgen), only mentions Peterson as a right-wing critic of postmodernism (as a leftist discourse or culture), not as an exemplar.
