About this episode

Dr Jordan B Peterson and Konstantin Kisin discuss western privilege, the self, the nature of God and religion, the necessity of religion for morality, and how we must combat the death of truth with cohesive principles.

He is also the author of “An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West,” a Sunday Times Bestseller.
