He had me from the opening sentence:
Here’s a link to the mentioned Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault.

Jordan Peterson on the evils of postmodernism
The usefulness for my high school students of such a synthesis cannot be exaggerated. When I taught philosophy as a course, we obviously had more time to go into depth. The chart is a handy frame of reference, from which more elaboration can be given depending on time available, course requirements, etc.

What’s not to like. Especially about the book, which is both enlightening and illuminating.

I’ve read it and recommended it to others. Thanks for writing it.

What are the future scenarios for Postmodernism if looking through the lenses of high road, middle road or low road?

The linked video clip is gone from YouTube, and I don’t know which of the many videos in which Jordan Peterson discusses Postmodernism was the source of the clip, but based on the opening sentence my guess is it was a copy of this twelve-minute one from Peterson’s channel:
“2017/02/25: Jordan Peterson: Postmodernism: How and why it must be fought”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf2nqmQIfxc
The description there has a link to the full Manning Centre video which is a panel of four giving talks and then having a discussion. The clip has all of Peterson’s prepared remarks but the others and the discussion are worthwhile too.
If I’ve got the wrong video and Dr. Hicks sees this maybe he’ll embed another instance of the right one.
