I haven't gotten around to watching them yet (4.5 hours total) but they're supposed to be pretty interesting. The topic of the debate, as I understand it, is roughly whether religion or religious beliefs have any utility from an evolutionary/fitness perspective and/or to what degree could/should we try to objectively evaluate religious/ethical beliefs. Peterson is a clinical psychologist so he's coming to the debate from that angle.
- notduncansmith 8y agoOne thing to be aware of is that there’s a lot of polarization around Peterson’s material. I’d recommend sticking to his long-form material (presentations/podcasts) on YouTube rather than the many clickbait videos that’ll be recommended.
- technobabble 8y agoYeah, I came across his earlier work, and was disappointed on his latest lectures/videos.
- technobabble 8y agoActually Jordan Peterson's early work (2010) was what prompted me to post. I agree with the other commenter, though, he seems to have become a sellout and purposely makes his more recent speeches more polarizing.
