[Many apologies for the earlier release with the wrong file!]
Two years ago, Ben Burgis, Matt McManus, Marion Trejo-McManus and Conrad Hamilton co-wrote a book called "Myth and Mayhem: A Leftist Critique of Jordan Peterson." Last year there was a GTAA episode about it. Now that our boy's active again, getting back out into the world and dropping bombs like "climate is just everything so how can we have a scientific model to predict climate change," seems like a good time to check back in on him. All the authors of "Myth and Mayhem" return to check back in on our boy JBP as the main event of this episode.
Before that, Ben and the GTAA crew talk a bit about Biden's State of the Union address and calls from various quarters for the United States to turn the war in Ukraine into World War III by setting up a no fly-zone and recap the parts of Ben's recent conversation with Joe Rogan where Ben argued against anti-CRT laws (and against attempts like the one right now in Texas to ban trans kids from going on puberty blockers) and where Ben & Joe talked about whether a Battle of the Bens could be arranged where Ben Burgis and Ben Shapiro would debate their many political disagreements. In the last part of the main show, Ben and his wife Dr. Jennifer Burgis take a look at Jordan Peterson's attempt to navigate the issue of free will & determinism. Finally in the postgame for patrons, Current Affairs editor Nathan J. Robinson joins Ben and the GTAA crew to review some of the many many tweets by World War III enthusiasts who think anyone who doesn't want the United States to intervene in Ukraine is an "appeaser."
Guys, this is a great episode.
