Hi Steve, thank you for sharing.
This is my first contact with Abramson. When Abramson explained Peterson
as a dangerous demagogue, I found myself wanting him to explain it in clear
terms rather than imply it was obvious. I do agree with him that Peterson
is winning, and will continue to win, the intellectual and social
battleground. My parting initial thought on Abramson is: "Good luck
defining a stable post-post modern reality without understanding and
accepting evolutionary and analytic psychology."
