Episode notes

The process of becoming a conservative is described as overcoming something and believing that others who haven't overcome it are weak.
Jordan Peterson found comfort and order by imposing absolutes in his life and mind.
It is important to consider that not everyone has the same resources or experiences, and what works for one person may not work for others.
People are different, and what may work for one person's depression and anxiety may not work for someone else.
Many individuals, especially straight, white hegemonic males, may unknowingly base their worldview on their personal experiences rather than recognizing it as subjective.

Oops all meat: How a '50s bodybuilder, a Grateful Dead roadie and an unreadable professor accidentally launched one of America's wildest fad diets.

Here's Mike's "Cancel Culture" video!

Note: In our discussion of Jordan Peterson’s political correctness lecture, I made a sarcastic comment about looking “slim in this dress.” After the episode came out, we started hearing from listeners that my comment reminded them of fatphobic jokes they’d heard in the past and didn’t feel consistent with the message of the show. They were right! It was a bad joke and we've removed it from the episode. We'll be discussing this and our approach to handling feedback and editing past episodes in more detail soon. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to let us know! — Mike
