In this episode of The Mark Steyn Show, Mark explores what Daffy Duck used to call "pronoun trouble". His guest is Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist at the University of Toronto whose entire career has been imperiled by his opposition to the new "non-binary" gender pronouns - such as "zhe". Transgender activists and other politically correct enforcers have determined to destroy him.
In this full-length interview, Steyn and Professor Peterson discuss the Orwellian perversion of language and the totalitarian impulses of social engineering. And Mark asks the big question: Is the jig up for western civilization? Click below to watch:
~There'll be more from The Mark Steyn Show this weekend - and don't miss Mark's brand new SteynPost on the long shadows of the Great War.

Thanks, Duane! I've been viewing a lot of Jordan Petersen's Bible videos over the past five months and occasional short videos, but I never heard him reference Derrida again. I picked up a little book on Derrida from the local library from a series in philosophy. I couldn't make any sense out of what he was saying. I asked an acquaintance who had a philosophy degree to explain his take on Derrida and he told me the guy was a waste of my time. That didn't reveal a great deal. I find Petersen pretty interesting except everything seems to be viewed through the lens of psychology, but I guess that is understandable.
