The wind is rising


"Conservative" gadfly Jordan Peterson has left his professorship, due to too much wokeness in academia. 

Note that Peterson doesn´t really support populism. He believes that the craven capitulation to wokeness which he sees all around him, among the "bourgeois" and intellectual elites, will *fuel* populism ("Trump") - something he fears. 

But since his pleas to the elites to come to reason have failed, he can only pessimistically say: "He who sows the wind, will reap the whirlwind. And the wind is rising". 

Well, he is not *entirely* wrong, of course...

  1. I suppose you to have read some of Vox:s takes on Petersson, the.exerps from his book *Jordanetics" were really devastaing just by calmly analysing Petersons own writing. And a very funny title.

  2. Yes, it´s on my "to-do-list", but I´m not sure when I will be able to actually do it. Maybe JP will die before it happens, ha ha.
