Episode notes
Chomsky Interview
- Kurt Jaimungal's most popular interview was with Noam Chomsky.
- This was partly due to Jaimungal asking Chomsky about Jordan Peterson.
Chomsky's Critique of Peterson
- Chomsky's critique of Peterson, based on a secondary source, was unproductive.
- It lacked specific points and echoed common political polarization.
Defining Left and Right
- Chomsky believes the right is "suicidal" while the left's "going too far" is merely tactical.
- Jaimungal and Peterson question this simplistic view and discuss the difficulty of defining political sides.
