Ken Wilber: Jordan Peterson & the Evolution of Thought Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

This is an audio version of Ken Wilber: Jordan Peterson & the Evolution of Thought which was published on the Rebel Wisdom YouTube site on February 27th 2019.

Jordan Peterson has gone from an obscure Canadian academic to an intellectual megastar in a little over a year, and become one of the most polarising cultural figures. At the core, his philosophical project involves tying together mythology, religion and science into a 'theory of everything' that many are finding compelling. The Integral philosopher Ken Wilber did something similar in the 90s and 2000s, and built a large and passionate following. What does he make of Jordan Peterson's rise to fame? Where does he agree, and disagree with his philosophy?
This is one of several films with Ken Wilber on Rebel Wisdom.

Show notes

This is an audio version of Where Gillette Went Wrong which was published on the Rebel Wisdom YouTube site on January 16th 2019. Gillette's newest ad, 'The Best a Man Can Be', has created a social media firestorm in the last few days. We sat down to discuss the reaction, the cultural context behind it and our response to the ad. Drawing on our interviews with Warren Farrell, Cassie Jaye and our experience leading men's retreats, we ask whether the ad is helping men or toxic in and of itself. We recently had an article in the Guardian about our men's retreats: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandst...
