Social media has changed the public conversation in ways we may not yet be aware of, writes Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson: There is now a single channel where complex cultural products are read in terms of the obvious.

He says trolling, memes and insults, which is what social networks generate the most, are not criticism from below or from anywhere. Peterson: Those who point out complexities would end up inhibiting themselves if there were another place where the key to complexities was made in the key of complexities.
