Serious Inquiries Only - SIO116: What Is Jordan Peterson Saying? with Aaron Rabi

Every atheist's favorite Christian, Jordan B. Peterson, went on Channel 4 News and had a heated exchange with Cathy Newman.

Joining me to sift through Peterson's paranoid nonsense about gender and postmodernism is philosopher Aaron Rabi of the Embrace the Void podcast!
