The Times is at it again with its strange fixation on Jordan Peterson. The contributors were shocked that people were willing to engage with — let alone capable of engaging with — a philosopher. Whilst this could be forgiven as an off-hand comment, it cannot be in light of what followed from the other panellists. They look down on the audience, not just in tone but in the substance of what is being discussed. The public, rather than being too dumb for a talk on philosophy, are too smart to be satisfied with such cursory content.
