Jordan G, does Peterson really need even more hype and uplifting above the pedestal he’s already on? Do you really have to dedicate a whole year to him? Is this a “Jordan” thing?
This movement needs to pump the breaks, because cleaning your room and changing the world will always be a reflexive and continuous process, never something that you start with one and end up with the other.
Peterson’s not above reproach and its about time his loyalists start holding him to account for his imperfections instead of ignoring them or glossing them over. There is a middle road response to him; that he’s right about some things, wrong about others, and we should clear that up sooner rather than later.
I’ve written two articles on Peterson, one defense, one critique, both in the context of abstraction and metamodernism which eclipses Peterson’s specialized Piagetian abstraction and his virulent anti-postmodernism. We are wasting time here.
