Here’s a pdf of his book available for free through core uk: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/20479533.pdf I look forward to listening to this tomorrow, the wisecrack stream is literally the only regular livestream I can tolerate! On the one where they talked about the hbomb video he said something along the lines of like “not being at the cool kids table” in the leftist video circles, so I’m just happy to see parasocial papa being included!

Wowow I'm considering going to Bristol UWE next year so this is interesting! I am excited to experience things like 'Jazz' ?

I loved this discussion, and was really vibing with what Michael was saying about how rewarding it is for people in his audience who are into Peterson starting to expand some of their awareness. That’s what discussions around philosophy are all about. It BLOWS MY MIND that CJ hasn’t read Kierkegaard. I mean, it makes sense given the road that CJ’s traveled, but I think his work around faith is really powerful, and I’d love to hear CJ’s thoughts around it whenever he does dive into it.
