Episode 5 - We love Jordan Peterson!

Philosophomoric

The episode begins with some discussion about the almighty dollar, whether it relates to the monetization of higher education or just being able to get dirt-cheap office space during a pandemic. But then Mike and Duncan get into the real reason why you came - an in-depth discussion about Jordan Peterson, namely why they think he's so great while also recognizing his controversial and sometimes problematic aspects as well. This then leads into a more general discussion about the inherent virtue of free speech and how it is always in tension with political correctness. The conversation circles back around to Dr. Peterson and a truly disturbing hit piece on him that recently came out in The Times. Finally, there is some talk about "mansplaining" and how it might just be a natural response to "femasking." Did we do these topics justice? We'd love to hear your opinions - [e-mail]
