Consider the statement implicit in living together, prior to marriage: “You’re good enough to live with, and attractive enough for temporary sexual purposes, but I want to hold open the possibility of trading up if I’m fortunate enough to find someone preferable to you (someone sufficiently deluded to accept me as a partner, under such conditions).” Contrast that with “I am willing to stake my future on our joint integrity, and to risk building a life with you on that foundation.” If you had to choose between two potential partners on the basis of those alternate explicitly stated principles—one abiding by the former; the other, the latter—whom would you choose?

The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast 
Maps of Meaning 09: Patterns of Symbolic Representation

In this lecture, Dr. Peterson discusses the manner in which the fundamental symbolic archetypes (particularly those dealing with the Wise King and Tyrant) are hijacked for the purposes of propaganda.

VPRO Documentary
Full interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson

This is a never before seen 2+ hour-long interview with Dr. Peterson. The interview was filmed to be included as part of a documentary by Dutch National Media outlet VRPO.

Topics that are discussed within the interview include Male and Female dynamics in the workplace and broader culture, modern Feminism, the myth of an oppressive Patriarchy, and more.

"We talked to Peterson on the 4th of June 2019, in Toronto, Ontario. Since there were some breaks (for adjusting the camera and for having coffee) during the interview, it consists of multiple takes. Apart from leaving out the breaks themselves and making the transition between breaks more fluent, no further editing has been done."

Our good friend Jocko Willink has started a new podcast with his friend Daryl Cooper. The goal of this podcast is to unravel what is happening in the world today and try to find the root causes of some of the issues that are currently in the foreground.

In this first episode, Jocko and Darryl discuss the "beginnings" of the war on terror.
