Dr. Adrian Wooldridge is a political editor at The Economist and author of the new book ‘The Aristocracy of Talent: How Meritocracy Made the Modern World.’

Jordan Peterson joins Robert Breedlove on the “What Is Money?” show to examine the drawbacks of the fiat system and the promise of cryptocurrency.
Robert Breedlove is a freedom maximalist, ex-hedge fund manager, and philosopher in the Bitcoin space. To him, Bitcoin is fundamentally a humanitarian movement exposing the greatest con in human history: central banking. By learning about the connection between honest money, entrepreneurship, and civilization, he believes we are renewing hope for the future of humanity. To this end, Robert's mission is to restore freedom, truth, and virtue in our world by tenaciously asking the question: "What is Money?"

I gave this talk at a meeting hosted by the University of Toronto's Students in Support of Free Speech (https://www.facebook.com/ssfsut/), which is one of many such groups that are springing up across North American, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in reaction to the censorial attitude of the postmodern neo-marxists who have come to dominate the humanities, law, education and much of the social sciences on campuses in recent years.
I am hoping that with concerted effort it will be possible to identify the corrupted and ideologically-possessed university disciplines across campuses world-wide and to drive down their new enrolment by 75% over the next five years.
As of now a website is being designed to help students (and their parents) identify postmodern cult courses from course descriptions, so that those who would rather be educated than indoctrinated can make a choice (and, I suppose, for those who wish the opposite to make a choice as well). Stay posted.

This episode was recorded on June 6th, 2021.
Dr. Peterson, Steven Pinker and Jonathan Haidt sit down to discuss a variety of topics in relation to societies function and creating the most stable systems for humans to function in, primarily by reviewing the examples history lends us.
Stephen Pinker is a Canadian-born American psychologist who advocated evolutionary explanations for the functions of the brain and thus for language and behavior. His books include the language instinct, How the mind works a blank slate, the better angels of our nature, the sense of style, and Enlightenment Now. His list of achievements, including being on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people today, is quite long and varied.
Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist at New York University’s Stern School of Business. His mission is to use research on moral psychology to help people understand each other and to help important social institutions work better. His books include The Happiness Hypothesis, The Righteous Mind, the Coddling of the American Mind.

Podcast available at http://bit.ly/2EkTOhg
I should start by saying that Milo is definitely now on the list of those who no one acceptable socially should ever speak to, which I suppose is one of the reasons why I’m talking to him. I want to know what happened to him over the last few years, in his words, and I don’t really give a damn if that’s politically incorrect. I also plan to post clips directly from this discussion on Facebook this week. We'll all see (all who are interested) what happens when that occurs.
Milo's a hard man to categorize. Part journalist, part performance artist, part agent provocateur, part comedian and wit, Yiannopoulos is a man of immense and complex self contradiction. He’s half-Greek and half-Irish, but is know as an Englishman to the Americans with whom he has communicated extensively. He’s gay, and Jewish by descent. He married to his long-term boyfriend, an African-American man, in Hawaii, in 2017, but faces frequent accusations of racism. He is—or was—strangely attractive to young American Republicans, and completed a successful and controversy-ridden tour of US universities in 2016-2017. For at least two years, he was one of the most well-known internet celebrities, let’s say, on the political front, and caused more uproar than any other single person that I can think of.
In my view, for what it’s worth, Milo was such a figure of inner contradiction and outer controversy that I believed his time was numbered. Nonetheless, the circumstances of his demise were unpredictable, I would say (and that’s in keeping with his apparent destiny). After revealing details of his early sexual experiences at the hands of a decades older priest, whom he refused to name, he stated that he was an active participant in the events, and that such occurrences were far more common (and far more consensual) than people were willing to admit. I don’t think he ever recovered from the controversy that those comments generated.
In case it has to be said, and no doubt it does, I believe that what happened to him was absolutely unforgivable, and it would seem that he has come to share that opinion. Our conversation centered mostly around these issues, which I believe to be of wide general relevance. Hence the video.

Applications for Ralston College's MA in the Humanities for 2023 are now open. Dr. Peterson does not teach at Ralston.
https://www.ralston.ac/humanities-ma
Ralston College present the inaugural lecture of it's Chancellor, Dr Jordan B Peterson, delivered at one of the most iconic sites of the ancient world, the Library of Celsus in Ephesus. This ancient city was the birthplace of Heraclitus, the philosopher who first articulated the idea of the Logos, and the final resting place of St. John, who uses that same Greek word to name the Divine Word. In his lecture, Dr Peterson argues that the intelligibility of the world depends on the patterned regularities that are superordinate to our immediate perception; this underlying order - which, from the Greeks onward, we have called Logos - is both the horizon that enables human perception and the basis for the possibilities that we realize in the world. Such an account of our intrinsic, rational, and self-determining capacity constitutes a challenge to the assumptions of many prevailing schools of though - such as behaviorism, rigid empiricism, and postmodernism - and lays the burden of personal ethics, and the formation of a good society, squarely on the shoulders of the individual.
