Could there be a Peterson-Milei interview coming up?

Jordan Peterson and Milei would break the internet

As an Argentinian, he's being honest on what he's saying. Milei promised economic adjustments and that's what he did and that's what he's doing. Prices rose a little bit since he came to office, but that's way different than seeing a 30% increase of every product every month. There's also a shift in mentality in terms of culture, people are shifting from wokism towards a more conservative society, we're going to our roots which is family.

I think that Argentina is a great example of what happens to a country when have falled into socialism and corruption. It should be studyed in the university.

I was in Buenos Aires last week and it is a fantastic place for a Spanish speaking tourist. The food there is very high quality and clean. Even soft drinks were good and I don't drink those in Europe.
My orientation skills are very bad. I get lost in my own country. I got a local SIM card for 6500 pesos (i.e. 10 GBs for almost nothing) but the Southern hemisphere had killed the last fragments of my sense of direction. So despite using Google Maps I kept on getting lost (once I ended up next to the US embassy instead of Palermo Soho). So I just started to ask people in the street. I did that a lot. EVERY SINGLE PERSON helped me. Where else would that be the case?

I noticed very few people in El Subte (Buenos Aires subway) addicted to their smartphones (compared to Europe) and I saw young people reading books there. A young man kept his eyes firmy on Shakespeare for 15 minutes.

There is no mass tourism. Most tourists seem to be from neighbouring countries and don't feel like tourists. Several people thought I was Argentinian. A young girl even invited me to a political meeting to discuss "la libertad" (freedom). My favourite topic but I don't do politics when I travel. That would be unwise.

I am sure the country has problems. I took the bus back to the airport because I had money on my SUBE card (public transport card). I saw some bad areas on my way to the airport. But the people on the same bus going to these areas were peaceful. Poor but peaceful.



I recommend Buenos Aires to anyone who can afford the ticket and who can manage in Spanish.

in 1 week I'm traveling to argentina from canada for 6 months. Excited that things are moving for the better there while Canada is rapidly declining. Hopefully Milei is successful and turns the country around.

It’s a shame nobody’s talking more about Argentina.

[bernardocarlosblanco]

Como bien dijo Axel Kaiser, en el censo de 1914 el 50 % de los habitantes de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires eran inmigrantes europeos, a nivel país el 30 % eran extranjeros y para la misma época el censo de EEUU encuestó un 15 % de inmigrantes.

Por lo tanto Argentina tenía el doble de inmigrantes en porcentaje que EEUU en 1914.

Thank you for shining a light on economic changes from one side of the spectrum to another. I have high hopes for Milei. God bless him.

[Liquidcadmus]

I'm Argentine and I can assure you Milei is the best president in our history. He's got the intelectual tools needed to do his job, and above all he's honest, transparent, patriotic and honorable.

[MarianoGianni]

Hello Dr Peterson, I'm Argentinian. Thank you for brining atention to this subject.

[Fran-mdcu]

As an argentinian, milei was the last beam of hope we had of not turning into cuba. This is the first time in my life i have seen inflation coming down and not accelerating, as well as, a change in mentality, we finally have people that want to solve the problems. The only downside is that we still have to deal with old people who are afraid of change and old people who is still in the goverment stopping the change.

When a Chilean explains what has happened in Argentina.Grande Axel y Jordan por invitarlo.

[jordanrandle]

Brit in Argentina. It’s going to be lit here in the next 5 years 🔥🔥

[neochris]

Axel Kaiser!!! Excellent guest. He's Chile's Milei, much less of a crazy rock star but same intellectual soul and ideology. The Street Economist is a book that helps win the cultural war against communism.

[scunningham]

As an Argentinean, Milei is the best thing that happened to Argentina in terms of political changes. Keep strong my Presidente!!❤

[luisalbertofernandez]

As an Argentine citizen I cannot explain how necessary a president like Milei is.

[lisarupert]

Excellent guest, I had no idea Argentina was in such a state.

[whiskybravo]

We need a leader like this in Canada. Not more of the same garbage. We’re circling the drain as it is.

Hi Jordan, excellent interview. I am a colleague of yours, I live in Mendoza, Argentina. Axel is a magnificent exponent of cultural change, which I hope will impact Chile as well. I hope you can arrange an interview with Javier. Kind regards!
