        • #7 - What do we Think of Jordan Peterson?

          For this episode we all sat down and discussed (often argued) about Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's 5 main views - pragmatism, anti-atheism, support of Christianity/myth, anti-Marxism, and his defense of free speech.

          • #5 - Jordan B. Peterson's First Lecture: Reality and the Sacred

            Teddy and Jordan map out the entirety of Dr. Jordan Peterson's first lecture, entitled 'Reality and the Sacred' and discuss whether we think his arguments are legitimate. This lecture is crucial to understanding the rest of Peterson's work, and serves as a prelude to episode 7, which features all the boys discussing Peterson's projects as a whole.

              All of us got together to joke around and argue over who to kill in MIT's driver-less car AI test. At the end we also discuss some differences with ethical systems and what we think of the main four.

                For this episode, Brian and Jordan kick back and give some first takes on the (at this point) outdated podcast between Sam Harris and Ezra Klein, and why the conversation didn't go as we had hoped for.

                • #2 - Kids in Our Closets (Nativism vs Empiricism)

                  Teddy and Jordan sit down and discuss the disagreement between nativism and empiricism, and use some strange thought experiments to validate their intuitions. Between making inappropriate jokes, they stumble to a conclusion that nativism doesn’t make much sense, but want to hear from any listeners that disagree.

                    Brian and Jordan fire up their desktops to play some video games and discuss concussions, brain damage in general, and what the philosophical implications are for identity and blame. Overcoming some technical difficulties was a bit of a burden, but we hope you can overlook them just this once.

                    • #1 - On Bullshit and The Chilling Effect

                      The First Episode of the New Podcast! Hosts Jordan and Adam discuss Dr. Harry Frankfurt’s book, On Bullshit and how it relates to the name of our show. Then the discussion moves to The Chilling Effect, its consequences and severity, and what – if anything – can be done to combat it. We’d appreciate a bit of leniency since it is our first episode, after all. But we greatly appreciate the view and hope you enjoy it!
