Jordan Peterson: Saint? Satan? Do we have to choose?

Billy and Jesse interview Maziar Ghaderi, producer of the documentary film The Rise of Jordan Peterson, about the many ideas Peterson has scattered around the internet, what value they have, whether or not we should trust the messenger and why its so hard to have a nuanced conversation about him. We throw a bunch of questions at Maz. Did Peterson cynically use a general misunderstanding of the trans community to fuel his rise? Or was he tapping into a legitimate discomfort around language policing? Does he make good points about the dangers of putting too much focus on group identity? Is he right that we need to clean our own rooms before criticizing the world? Or are his arguments just disguised defenses of a status quo that he benefits from?     ----    OUR GUEST:  Maziar Ghaderi  The Rise of Jordan Peterson https://www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/the-rise-of-jordan-peterson  Maz’s Personal Site: https://maziart.ca/  Maz and Patricia Marcoccia’s Production Company: https://www.holdingspacefilms.com/   --- SOURCES  Bernard Schiff: “I was Jordan Peterson’s strongest supporter.

The U.S. Voter - A hostage to the spectacle

Politics are a more popular conversation topic than Billy and Jesse could have ever imagined a decade ago, yet the political choices seem to be more limited than ever. All this as the threats facing humanity grow. The hosts wrestle with the question of how the American voter got into this position, and how they might get out.
