Commendable analysis John ... Archived Message Posted by Tomski on April 24, 2019, 11:17 am, in reply to "Re: Zizek presses Peterson. " where are the Marxists"?? A thought or two,,,," I also like this: There's a simple description of Peterson's social theories, and that is he's a supporter of theory and the practice of social Darwinism. When people use the competitive nature of the animal kingdom to support their social theories, it's difficult to come to any other conclusion. I recall he got debunked on the Jungian archetypes as well as the biological facts, the former supposedly his forte. It’s a child-like pitfall, relating ancient ‘memes’ to DNA structure. https://debunkingdenialism.com/tag/jordan-peterson/ Peterson has also stated in several talks that he believes that entangled serpents in ancient art represents DNA. To be clear: Snakes entwine themselves when they are mating. Mating produces offspring. This is the core reason that entwined snakes exists in ancient art of mythological significance. It symbolizes reproduction, creation or giving birth. DNA … not so much : ). For hierarchical signifiers of lobsters PZ Myers injects some evolutionary biology into the equation by asking if lobsters evolved from sharks : )) Fraud? Not a particularly good one.
