Jordan Peterson: From the Barricades of the Culture Wars


Listen Later

Jordan Peterson discusses the impact of technological revolutions on education and intellectual engagement, his motivation for writing his books, and his experiences with workplace unconscious bias training and the controversy surrounding his perceived transphobia. Peterson attributes his widespread influence to the technological transformation brought about by YouTube and podcasts, which have led to a significant demand for high-level intellectual dialogue and engagement. He also reflects on the importance of being careful with one's speech and the potential consequences of carelessness. Additionally, Peterson criticizes universities for their handling of free speech and inclusivity, and he is currently suing Wilfred Laurier University for slander. Throughout the interview, Peterson emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between men and women and the need for discipline and order to overcome chaos and hopelessness. He also challenges the notion that socio-cultural constructs explain the differences between men and women, citing data on suicide rates, prison populations, and occupational segregation.
