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." -Chance On Sat, May 19, 2018 at 10:25 PM, nysa71 < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Steve, > > I love it!
