Hello, everyone. Welcome to the ninth episode of the Symbolic World podcast. On this episode, I'm going to play for you a discussion I had with Rachel Fulton Brown about a year ago. She is a professor of medieval history at the University of Chicago, and she's been going through a lot of stuff, a lot of controversy around her. In the discussion, we talk about many things, including

0:23.6

Milo Yanopoulos, for example. And so the place that Milo holds on the public sphere and has changed

0:32.1

quite a bit in the last year. But I think that nonetheless, the discussion, even though it was a year ago, is quite

relevant to understand some of the symbolism around the discussions that have been having.

0:44.1

1:53.0

Well, thank you, Jordan, Jonathan.

1:56.2

Yes, I have Jordan and Milo on my mind.

1:58.5

So some of you may know me as fencing bear at Prayer because Milo has been sharing some of my

2:04.1

blog posts about him over the last year.

2:06.3

I'm also a great fan of Jordan Peterson because I'm very interested in the way in which he

2:11.0

talks about mythology and religion and psychology.

2:14.1

So I'm really excited to have this conversation with Jonathan because I'm very

2:18.3

interested in the way in which his art matches with the kinds of storytelling that I see
