I still can't believe the Peterson vs Zizek debate is actually happening. No one will "win." No one's mind will be changed. It's the online equivalent of "my dad can beat up your dad" and will just be a waste of everyone's time.
Maybe there will be a few good nuggets that will become memes but, honestly, who cares?

@ink_slinger Is there anything they agree on? I only have the sketchiest knowledge of either.
Peterson, it seems, can speak well off the cuff -- apparently a very popular lecturer at U of T. Zizek?

@mpjgregoire I mean, they probably both hate postmodernism. The big difference is that Zizek actually knows what postmodernism is. Possibly they might both agree that political correctness, as an amorphous thing, is bad, but probably for very different reasons. Mostly, though, I doubt they agree on much.
