The phenomenal success of Jordan Peterson has created hugely polarised reactions, most clearly on the left, or progressive side of the political divide.
Matthew Tarnas Segall is a lecturer at the California Institute of Integral Studies, a
highly progressive and spiritually influenced college in San Francisco, and Jesse Estrin is a depth psychotherapist*, a graduate of CIIS and has worked on causes for social justice for many years.*incorrectly called “depth psychologist” in the film.
In this four-way discussion with Rebel Wisdom’s David Fuller and Alexander Beiner, both are k
een to examine the question of what the left can learn from Jordan Peterson, and to ask why much of ‘their tribe’ has such a strong reaction to his thought.Jesse, Matthew and a colleague, Adam, put out their own podcast about Jordan Peterson and the left: “The Jordan Peterson Moment: Seeking Dialogue on the Left” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccaf7fEWtB4
