Jordan Peterson Part 1: The Shadow and The Conscious Man 01.07.2019 20:09

“Peterson is problematic to practically everybody, which is interesting.  He is problematic to traditionalists, because he doesn’t go to church.  He’s problematic to modernists because he is interested in religion.  He is problematic to post-modernism because he values hierarchy.  He’s problematic to the extreme right and the extreme left because he is so reasonable.“ “Trump to...

Darin Stevenson: Aliens, insects, and an operating system that works like our minds 01.07.2019 1:24:36
