To be fair, if it's the interview I saw they both embarrassed themselves . . . My stepson had a brief interest in Jordan Peterson; he seems to appeal to young people who are wanting to engage critically with the world but hopefully most people move on from him. I was bracing myself for Peterson to demolish Zizek and that be the end of my stepson's interest in Marxism but my fear was unfounded. Peterson, who is, I think, quite intelligent and might even have something interesting to say if he stuck to what he knows, simply revealed a profound ignorance of Marx that even Zizek's incomprehensibility couldn't make look clever.
