how i am supposed to take seriously someone that sounds like a puppet frog?

His definition is limited to Derrida and it's a misinterpretation at that. Or maybe his problem is with the misinterpretation of Derrida by others. Basically he hates what he calls 'postmodernism' because it can lead to psychic turmoil and totalitarianism when the professors say that everything is a social construct. It seems he believes this has a basis in Derrida's critique of phallogocentrism. He doesn't explain it very clearly. I assume he's blaming Derrida for the action of the professors instead of reading Derrida. He says he read Foucault though.

Thoughtful men usually are soft spoken or shrill. Nietzsche was extremely timid and was criticized by an acquaintance in a letter that he conducted himself in person as if he never spoke to others before, and ordered things like dining utensils with compulsion. In all probability he was a shrill kraut.

Frogs puppet

Postmodernism is a many-headed mutant and it's impossible to behead them all with one strike

>>9855208
Peterson has opted instead to cut the heads off a many-headed mutant made entirely out of straw and shredded postmodernists texts

>>9855226
Is there a single text or author that serves as the entire basis of postmodernism though? It's very scatterbrained by nature.

>>9855226
As if there is a some sort of concrete, focused core of "real postmodernism" instead of a pile of ramblings written by syphilis-addled protohipsters

>Nietzsche played towards Christianity the role a maggot plays in a wound: it can devour dead flesh and leave behind only what is healthy.
Peterson's a smart guy.

>>9855238
That's beside the point. He says he doesn't like Derrida because of how professors teach the idea of social constructs.

>>9855402
but Christianity is pretty much all dead flesh at this point

Tell that to the man who says the Rosary every day.

People like Peterson convince me that you can't be a healthy adult and be truly bright at the same time. In a way what makes him respectable as a person is the same thing that makes him somewhat shallow as an intellectual. I like him, though.

This is called having firmly held opinions.You lose some subtlety of thought but gain integrity (as long as your opinions are internally consistent).
