The Descent of Jordan Peterson

We examine a recent conversation between Jordan Peterson and the streamer Destiny (Steven Bonnell) and use the opportunity to reflect on Jordan's journey as a public intellectual and guru. We consider how his stances have changed, whether he is more extreme now than when he emerged or if it is just his presentation style that has shifted. Along the way, we look at his demon-infested understanding of the COVID-19 vaccines, his climate change denialism, and address the unresolved question of the ages: Were the Nazis actually right-wing?

This is a great episode, with what I guess will be very wide appeal. It deserves a lot of eyes and ears on it. Edit: There were 61 million people who died in 2023. Combined with the fact that 134 million babies were born in 2023, the world population increased by 73 million people in 2023 (134 million births - 61 million deaths = 73 million more people; a net increase of 0.91%). -- Source: ourworldindata.org 2nd Edit: There is clearly a tailor in Canada inadverse to cash for clunkers. 3ed Edit: Prof. Matt made an exceptional point that slipped my notice, that Scientism also includes holding research to impossibly high 'pure science' standards. It's also worth noting that when it's dodgy links between Lobster serotonin levels and mating behaviour and the ideal posture a human should adopt in social interactions: now *that's* science.

hope this one blows up

Really nice editing, I lost it at Gad Saad. JBP "descent" is even more evident when viewed in video form compared to listening to it on the podcast.

I'm so used to hearing the show that your voices don't match your appearance in my mind. When I first saw it I thought Matt was going to be Chris and vice versa! 😆 I like the video content though 👍

Great episode, gents! Any plans on doing a Decoding Academia on Peterson's academic output?

Neither of you look anything like what I imagined! (That is not a criticism, just an observation.)
