Žižek will win. Jordan Peterson is just a fairly average college professor who got famous because he didn't think it was right to force people to use certain language (a crusade, I will add, that I supported him in). Aside from that, his biggest accomplishment is writing a fucking self-help book about the importance of keeping a clean home. His greatest skill is perhaps his ability to use asinine folkloric metaphors. Žižek, on the other hand, is a career intellectual who has written several well-respected books in 4 languages.
For comparison, we're talking about a debate between the guy who wrote these:

Among myriad others.
And a guy who wrote these:

Plus, Žižek is an inherently likeable personality. Peterson is a whiny brat.

Not that I don't find "Maps of Meaning" intriguing, but the debate is featherweight v heavyweight. It's not going to be pretty.

Everyone knows winners of public debates are determined by which interlocutor rubs their nose the most. And in this respect zizek is a bronzed god which no one can touch. Peterson is going to be steamrolled by nose rubbing of that caliber.

zizek is literally a dirty commie. He bathes in the blood of the bourgeois but only like twice a year. He smells like onions and garlic all the rest of the year. Peterson will be rubbing his nose like crazy to no avail and will have to plug his nose and possibly lose consciousness trying to act nasally self entitled while holding his breath.
I really hate zizek though but Peterson is such a try hard faggot. I hope they both just go away
