They're actually and essentially in agreement on this particular point.
Interesting. Hope to see some fruitful discussions between the two of them about that to reach some consensus in the discussion.
The debate was pretty fun. Entertaining and educational, lol. It went pretty much the way I though it would - these two are, essentially, in agreement on a great many things, but Zizek's been actually trying to pull a fast one on Peterson throughout to try and "broaden his horizons", so to speak, haha. He does that.
It was also very interesting to see how a hardcore Lacanian psychoanalyst (so Zizek) would try to discuss various psychological aspects of "happiness" with a clinical psychologist who likes to apply Jung's concepts in psychotherapy (so Peterson).
Interested parties can find it on youtube, just search for "Petereson vs Zizek".
Then again, if you know the works of these two, they did not come up with anything new during the debate, I believe.
