Those ToK list serve members with an interest in Jordan Peterson might
enjoy Seth Abramson's recent twitter thread exploring the cultural
significance of the "Jordan Peterson" phenomenon:

At the time of my writing, Seth is still constructing his thread.  Here are
a few excerpts (from the most recent tweets):

   - Tweet 62:  "...Peterson offers a dead end that lives more in 1318 than
   2018..."


   - Tweet 64:  "...I fear the choice in America over the next few years
   will be between embracing a multiversal, five-dimensional
   post-postmodernism or being stuck—forced to eat—tired, one-dimensional,
   fundamentally fascist pap that looked new for a second."


   - Tweet 69: "My advice (and view): it's okay to agree with Peterson on
   the first 1% of his worldview—that postmodernism must eventually be
   supplanted. But the key is to note that what Peterson wants to supplant it
   with would already have seemed passé by 1690. It's a *total joke* in 2018."
