I'd like to welcome you to episode 19 of the Symbolic World podcast.

In this episode, I will be playing for you a talk that I gave last year at the Students

for Liberty Organization in Vancouver, Canada.

The event was organized with Jordan Peterson and Brett Weinstein and I, and I gave a talk on

the new media pundits and how they are these

rag-tag heroes in an inverted world.

And so at the end of the talk, we also did a Q&A, which has become somewhat infamous for

diving into the question of whether or not science is grounded in religion or whether or not

science is the highest in the hierarchy of knowledge.

And I will play that for you next week on the next episode of the podcast.

But for now, please enjoy my discussion on The Inverted World.

And so it's actually happy to be here.

For those who don't know what that means, you'll get to understand that as my talk goes on.

About a year ago, everybody saw what happened with,

I guess we'll call the pronoun gate with Jordan Peterson.
