On this episode of the Symbolic World podcast, I am posting a discussion that I had with Jordan Peterson

0:08.5

called the Metaphysics of Pepe. So many people who watch my videos have told me that it is through

0:16.8

this discussion that I had with Jordan, that they discovered what I was doing.

It became so strange for a while that I thought that my, let's say, my little 15 minutes of fame would be spent talking about a cartoon frog.
