    How would you define mold? How would you define conflict? How would you define is? That’s what I thought.

      Hey, nice seeing you on here, JP!

      Just keep on keepin’ on. I’m surprised you haven’t also got Morgellons and fibromyalgia. And get one of those mold testing kits from Home Depot and ask a responsible adult to swab a few samples and mail it back. At least that might narrow things down a bit.

      Also, consider the possibility that your daughter’s a whackjob.

      (Kermit voice) What do you mean by mold? Mold in the metaphysical interpretation is a the creeping darkness of social isolation in the post modern environment that young men find themselves. Mold is the hidden predator that consumes even the dragon, the darkness that reflects the greater unknown that surrounds even the leviathan. If you take Moby Dick for instance, mold is the true antagonist, the great depths that surround and threaten both the protagonist, your physical self, and the whale, your metaphysical antithesis! It’s perplexing and I’m just on the verge of being able to understand it and perceive it, it’s right on the verge of my limitations to understand! tears up

        That is an almost perfect Peterson sentence. Except, remove the mold, it’s too concrete:

        The metaphysical interpretation is the creeping darkness of social isolation in the post modern environment that young men find themselves.

        Now you can shuffle the building blocks around however you wish!

        The creeping darkness is the metaphysical interpretation of the post modern environment that young men find social isolation in.

        Etc.

          Hmm, that’s the sort of post-modernist textual word game that Peterson claims to oppose. And yet it sure as shit sounds like him.
