Anti-matter isn't a negation of matter, you colossal retard. A pure vacuum isn't even a negation of matter. Matter is an expression of energy levels within the quantum fabric of reality.

Negating matter requires its destruction or dissipation from reality.

Negating matter is fundamentally impossible.

Something I really respect Peterson for is his admittance, in a hands thrown up in the air sort of way, that whether or not seeking truth is itself an act of moral or ethical truth, it at least very obviously brings about the betterment of human lives and welfare.

Sam, like almost everyone else, gets halfway there and mentally stalls at the requirement leveled at him by his insights to either make that very same hand motion, or restructure the very fundamentals of truth assignments to value judgments. Something that postmodernism has demonstrated isn't wise to so much as experiment with.

So, I've studied postmodernism pretty intently and I believe his assessment of it is very accurate.

The big problem people have with comprehending his articulations on the subject is assuming that the way it operates, as a symbolic concept, or abstraction, in its followers, is no different to the academic definition of postmodernism as a philosophical construct.

TL:DR; You're stupid and he isn't.
