I'm glad to see another video by Peter joseph. Now is the time for him to create a daily youtube channel. The world is now paying attention and we need more strong voices like his.

Jordan Peterson has got to be the most overrated public intellectual of our time.

"Silly Lobster Shit" ...you are a treasure Peter, thank you for this.

Thank you so much for putting this out there Peter. I’m the same dude that tweeted at you a few years back asking if you’d ever be interested in having a public conversation with Sam Harris. I just think you guys are super clear thinkers and communicators, laser-focused on the data points with wonderful speech style as opposed those that get prematurely and emotionally hijacked into others character flaws or can’t see passed their own temperament-based conclusions on such consequential matters today.. I made a few videos trying to think out loud about your views in conjunction with others, and the so called intellectual dark web. I made a small video series that’s basically an experimental style of editing (that was when I had more free time). I still hope you and your wonderfully clear thinking makes it to the center stage more and more where it belongs for the public to properly digest, esp in the face of all the unclear bs that’s out there. Peterson is overrated in my opinion. Thanks for your passion Peter.

Thank you so much for going to the trouble of reviewing the "debate" I feel reassured in the intelligence of my fellow humans. Clearly there are more of us capable of following an intelligent discussion and identifying a bullsh1tter than the popular media would have us believe. The comments on the original videos of the live discussions were worryingly ignorant. People were actually praising JP for being humble?! Thanks again! !!

Great video and critique of Peterson's lack of insight on these subjects. While I appreciate Peterson's expertise in psychology he has little to no knowledge on the subject of sociology and economics and its mechanisms such as Capitalism and Marxism.

[lensoftruth]

"Establishment preserving" is exactly why he's so popular and organically boosted by YouTube.

[RobertWGreaves]

One of the best critiques of Peterson I have heard yet.

[NatachaAtlasOfficial]

Peter Joseph is wonderful, one of the very few making the most sense in todays baffling world, i highly recommend listening to anything he has to say about the system today, i love him

[goranbalen]

Peter, just wanted to say that your insights are profound and unique for this time in age. Please don't stop doing things like this. Charlatans need to be exposed, and, no matter how huge the following of this clown is it does not prove anything except that there will always be humans looking for an easy explanation that will confirm their simplistic beliefs. Thank you:)

[blahblahoink]

Wow! Brilliant! I watched this months ago and felt that Peterson's argument was totally flawed but did not have the energy to analyse exactly why. Peter Joseph has very succinctly done just that. Thank you for exposing the simplistic, vague, and reductionist nature of this ridiculous excuse for a genuine debate.

[cinsolidarity]

He does lack any meaningful structural analysis, which is amazing for a psychologist to completely overlook. The MOST famous social psych studies highlight the power of the environment to shape behavior (Milgram, Zimbardo, Asch, Mischel etc) and any decent student of psychology usually knows to not try and state what human nature or human behavior is/will be like, without also always first asking "under what conditions?"

[zakjackson]

Peter Joseph for the fucking win. God damn, I love that man.

[vchavez]

Peter Joseph's logic is a breath of fresh air... Adelante!!

[Trussemaze]

"I'm stunned Peterson actually goes in public and says things like this" is a valid comment about everything Peterson says in public.

P. Jo was my very first Red Pill when I was 18 I stumbled upon Zeitgeist and learned to question everything.

I'd like to see another show like Culture in Decline.

Great job been calling this guy out for a long time on similar points and people would just attack me.

Peter gives him a huge pass by just assuming he's ignorant of the subjects that I say he's an expert in - he's simply lying. The elite have had the power and money to hire the smartest criminal goons like him forever. Just to manipulate you all into buying into their system.
