Show notes

James holds degrees in physics and mathematics, including a doctorate in the latter, and works primarily as a voice calling for honest reflection upon, and thus change in, our religious and cultural landscape.

We discuss the almost religious behavior of the movement behind Jordan Peterson as well as the behavior of activism on the left, much of which seems to be underpinned by Critical Theorists and academia.
