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."
