    Didn't Peterson have a live stream the night before the debate (I thought that's where the pretty famous screenshots of him where his room is trashed and he looks all red and wet came from) where he says that he hadn't done any research AT ALL or read any of Zizek's works?I feel like I remember seeing a clip where he held up that copy of the manifesto and was like "I still have a few hours to cram."

          Yes! This is the one I was thinking of! I guess I got it crossed with this image and also this one in my head, still a pretty funny clip though :michael-laugh:

            It's just an incredibly powerful moment for everyone who is also a procrastinator.

      I think he started believing his own bullshit about Marxism - that it doesn't have a rigorous philosophical foundation behind it. That "Marxism" is just the bad people who want to test down "western civilization". I mean, Zizek can be pretty hard to understand even as a Marxist. I think he figured he could do his tap dance routine and when he realized Zizek is a philosophical heavyweight (at least compared to him) he shit his pants but realized he couldn't back down.
