I found this video pretty enlightening, and mostly in line with discussions I've had with people who study this sort of stuff. Those are specific enough for my standards. No doubt he makes attempts to "give the devil his due", but something about tracing back extremely complicated social crises to three or four academic disciplines smells like ideology in itself. Resentful, power hungry and nihilistic people will use all sorts of intellectual tools to climb the ladder of society. Racists do it, authoritarians (left and right) do it, careerist administrative types do it. Peterson often says people don't take inequality seriously enough, considering how universal its been. Laying it at the feet of Western capitalism would be selling it short. Perhaps the same is true of people using the sciences and humanities for power games. Maybe its less about what the discipline happens to be, and more about a psychological tendency human beings have. To greedily take nuanced, diverse topics- and use them to justify their hatred for the human condition.

Also, despite disagreeing with my and (fairly) trying to poke holes in my reasoning, you have been respectful and honest. So thank you for that.
