Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

I like how every year he somehow gets worse. I didn't think he could descend further from professor so annoying he refuses to call students by their preferred names. After the Zizek debate where he had no clue what he was talking about, he's become like a Charles Dickens character. He's like a crazy uncle kept in the attic because he's lost his mind from laudanum.

I hate Zizek but boy did Zizek make Peterson look bad in that debate (though, it’s not hard)

My favorite part is where Zizek, in good faith, asked Peterson to name a few of the Marxist professors. (Peterson at this point of the debate had been saying academia had been seized by Marxist malefactors). Peterson couldn't name any.

Zizek offered the name David Harvey, a highly influential British Marxist professor known for his commentary on Capital. Peterson had never heard of him.
