Summary

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr Jordan B Peterson and Dr. Bjørn Lomborg discuss the present sense of impending doom that has swept the western world- and specifically today's young people. Together they break down the ideas of social credit and easy activism, and paint the picture of a world we can strive for, without the demonization and destruction of the one we currently inhabit. Bjørn Lomborg is a Danish author, having written numerous books on climate change such as “False Alarm,” “The Skeptical Environmentalist,” and “How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place.” He is the president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center that focuses on doing the most good, for the most people, with increasingly limited budgets. Previously, Lomborg was the director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute. - Sponsors - (PODCAST ONLY, not on YT for this one) Elysium: Save 25% off monthly subscriptions with code JBP25: https://www.elysiumhealth.com/ Hallow: Try Hallow for 3 months FREE: https://hallow.com/jordan Shopify: Sign up for a free trial: https://shopify.com/jbp Black Rifle Coffee: Get 10% off your first order or Coffee Club subscription with code JORDAN: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ - Links - For Bjørn Lomborg: Website: https://www.lomborg.com/ "What are the smartest solutions for the world?” We did a big book with 50+ teams of economists and several Nobel Laureates, but you can skip to the one-pager here: https://www.copenhagenconsensus.com/s...

0:19.9	the great privilege today of speaking once again to Dr. Bjorn Lomburg. We've talked several
0:24.5	times on my podcast before, but it's always good to talk to them. Dr. Lomburg researches
0:31.7	the smartest ways to do good with his think tank, the Copenhagen consensus. He's worked
0:37.1	with hundreds of the world's top economists and seven Nobel laureates to find and promote
0:41.7	the most effective solutions to the world's greatest challenges, from disease and hunger
0:46.9	to climate and education. For his work, Lomburg was named one of time magazines, 100 most
