      No. Do listen to the Sam Harris podcast & you'll see. It's not about evidence & reason.

      I have listened to it. Unfortunately. Just listened to Harris talking to Adams the other day and was struck by the similarities...

      I was recommending it to Michael if he's not sure why ppl who believe in reason & evidence are very wary of Peterson.

          I thought Weinstein made most sense on the Rogan podcast.

          I rather like Rogan & Weinstein on a personal level. (I mean, obvs I haven't met them, but they seem likeable). So yes maybe next run.

          Listening to it now. I think Peterson gets Harris a bit wrong, but that Harris didn’t get the best version of Peterson’s thinking.

          Peterson has a definition of Truth which differs from normal usage, which he claims both encompasses and supersedes that normal definition.

          Yes. I should have said Peterson doesn't value a normal conception of truth.
