Can we maybe stay on topic here, which near as I can tell is that Jordan Peterson wouldn't know what post-modernism is if someone hit him over the head with a copy of Of Grammatology?
I agree with you there, I managed to read "structure, sign, and play", with great difficulty. I understand how Peterson can conflate actual post modernism with his "cultural marxism" but if you listen to a lot of Petersons arguments, especially when he gets into things like biblical interpretation, he sounds very post modern. Of course in order to criticize someone constructively, you have to have a decent understanding of that persons positions. That's why I initially became interested in Peterson, I think he has a lot of interesting stuff, especially in his field of expertise which is psychology. But like anyone, he isn't perfect, and he does tout some ideas that are still more ideological than logical.
