Did you guys see this? I’ve been obsessed with Jordan Peterson’s content lately and he handled this interview so damn good. I bought his new book 12 steps for life: An antidote for chaos. After binging his YouTube content and feeling so damn inspired I had to purchase it.
I wish I hadn't... Cathy Newman doesn't interview people, she fights with them. It's right for a journalist to challenge the person they're interviewing but not to constantly interrupt and fight with them. But this isn't new, Channel 4 News is full of shouting matches. It's very telling that Channel 4 prefered Cathy Newman to Samira Ahmad.
Yes I saw the interview, and a lot of content he is in (probably my favorite is a discussion with him and Bret Weinstein on J. Rogan, and his discussions with Sam Harris) I am also reading his book at the moment.... the title is self helpy and I was worried... his tone is a little preachy and moralistic... but the content is solid
I refused to approach his content when I saw something about "not being nice" attached to him. Is he a meanie do you know?
This weeks Under the Skin with Russell Brand had him as a guest. As someone who hasn't heard much of him he's more liberal than I he was. He talked about the Cathy Newman interview and wonders maybe he shouldn't of said gotcha to her. I was really surprised by his feminism.
