S1E8 - Jordan Peterson | 12 Rules for Life

Clean your room. Stand up straight with your shoulders back. Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street. And, most importantly, act as if God exists. Today, Sophie, Trinity, and Raymond discuss the work and thought of clinical psychologist and philosopher Jordan Peterson and his book 12 Rules For Life. In this episode, we'll be addressing these questions and more: Is Jordan Peterson a political figure? How do we respond to the problem of suffering? How can we actually improve our lives if we want to get better? What's the difference between postmodernism and existentialism? What does it mean to say we believe in God? We're pulling out all the stops on this one: Dante, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, John Bunyan, and last but not least, Pinocchio. Hold onto your hats, it'll be a wild ride.
