    He embodies the enlightenment values that he espouses: he is not interested in sensationalism and takes the value of the opposing argument seriously whilst also critiquing it.

    Great talk! Yascha ended talking about how we should put more focus on individual traits, but it feels as though concepts such as ever broadening definitions of neurodiversity and trauma are seeking to quantify things we consider core aspects of our personalities, and put them in similar boxes to categories like race.

    As much as I am loathed to give Jordan Peterson his due, I do think he was correct when he claimed that the logical conclusion of intersectionalism is siimply individualism. With this framing, John Stewart Mill and other enlightenment thinkers are attempting to address intersectionalism head on and with less ideological warping than post-modern philosophers.

    Yasha would like to destroy all identities except that Jewish particularity, wouldn't Yasha?
