2014 Personality Lecture 13: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Existentialism)
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, perhaps the greatest Russian author of the twentieth century, was an Orthodox Christian existentialist, a direct descendant of Dostoevsky's thinking, and a man who took a mighty axe to the terrible tangled roots of communist totalitarianism. He associated inauthentic being on the part of the individual, within society, with the direct degeneration of that society into tyranny and malevolence.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with researcher, professor, and author, Dr. Sarah Hill. They break down sex-based differences in regret, competition, and academia; the balance between life exposure and safeguarding when raising a child; the practice of “mate-choice copying” among women; and why our hormones are a foundational part not just of our physical makeup, but also of who we are and who we have the potential to become.
Dr. Sarah E. Hill is a researcher and professor at TCU and author of “This is your brain on birth control: the surprising science of women, hormones, and the law of unintended consequences”. In addition to being at the forefront of research on women’s sexual psychology, Sarah is also a sought-after speaker, consultant, and media expert in the area of women’s hormones and sexual psychology.
Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://bit.ly/3KrWbS8

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh
Dr Jordan B Peterson and John Anderson discuss the impressive erasure of Australia’s federal debt during Anderson’s employment as Deputy Prime Minister. They also go into the importance of economic reform, the regression in progress seen through the lens of climate change, the spirit of democracy, and the inherent worth of man.
John Anderson is a sixth-generation farmer and grazier from New South Wales, Australia, who spent 19 years from 1989 in Parliament. He served as a senior Cabinet minister in the reformist government led by John Howard (1996 to 2005), one of the most successful governments in Australian parliamentary history. This included six years as Leader of the National Party and Deputy Prime Minister. Despite no longer holding office, Anderson continues to serve the interests of Australia's rural and regional communities. In 2018, Anderson started an intellectual talk show/podcast hybrid, “Conversations with John Anderson,” that seeks out thought leaders from around the world to discuss and debate hard and necessary topics.

On December 7, 2018, I spoke with Dr. Bjorn Lomborg, author and President of Copenhagen Consensus Center, a singularly innovative and influential US-based think tank. Dr. Lomborg and his team have done the hard conceptual and empirical work necessary to turn good intentions for global improvement into implementable and economically efficient strategies. That's really saying something.
They have, among other things, analyzed the UN Millenial goals (169 of them, which is far too many), prioritizing and rank-ordering them in terms of practical implementability and costs and benefits. Those who claim to truly care about the world's dispossessed could do far worse than to study Dr. Lomborg's work.

Canadian Bill 67, which purports to be nothing but an "anti-racist" bill, is in fact the most pernicious and dangerous piece of legislation that any Canadian government has attempted to put forward. Dr. Peterson is joined by Barbara Kay, Bruce Pardy and David Haskell. This bill makes C-16 look like child’s play.
Barbara Kay is a columnist for the Post Millennial, the Epoch Times, and Western Standard Online.
Bruce Pardy is executive director of Rights Probe and professor of law at Queen’s University.
Dr. David Haskell’s teaching and research focuses on religion in Canada, media in Canada, and religion and media in Canada. He is currently a professor at Wilfrid Laurier.

This talk was organized by Blu Matter Project, a University of Toronto student group dedicated to student mental health. The organizers of this event sent me the following statement:
"Many university students' core beliefs and ideas are challenged by the courses they take, with no meaningful and beneficial replacements being proposed. This creates a devastating problem for many students. They experience a crisis of meaning, and no longer know or can't tell what they should pursue in life. This existential undermining adds to the stress students experience while attempting to maintain a good GPA and manage demanding courses. All of this can produce depression, and encourage a nihilistic outlook."
This discussion addresses such issues.

As some of you may know, and the rest of you are learning now, I am debating Marxist philosopher Slavoj Zizek in Toronto, April 19 at the Sony Centre. The topic? Happiness: Marxism vs Capitalism. The live tickets have already sold out. We have therefore decided to experiment with live-streaming the discussion. You can subscribe to the livestream at PetersonvsZizek.com. That’s PetersonvsZizek.com. It comes at a cost – 14.95. This enables us to produce it professionally and to ensure, we hope, that the broadcast is of high quality and reliable, as well as to produce whatever profit might ensue. Dr Zizek, by the way, has announced his intention to donate his share to charity.
Note: I am still going to post the video recording on YouTube and audio on podcast, in mid-May, in the same manner as usual.
