Not worth listening to. And it’s much too long!

Peterson talks too much as always - he even says he does!

His “explanation” of mystical experience clarifies nothing.

At least they both declare that Lacan is a charlatan.

Looks interesting - will give it a listen.

I made the mistake of listening to this one in the end:

That’s 1.5 hours of my life that I can never get back, and I’m not going to listen to Peterson on the subject of religion again. Let me guess was Dawkins a bit less forthright on the subject than he normally is?

He was his usual polite, yet honest about disagreements with Jordan Peterson.

I agree with you, Chauncey! Peterson, though he can be brilliant in debate, is more often a droning bore.

Especially about religion.

It’s too bad Peterson is still bogged down in trying to view things from a “spiritual” perspective.
