We take a look at a recent conversation between Jordan Peterson and the streamer Steven Bonnell (AKA Destiny) and use the opportunity to reflect on Jordan's journey as a public intellectual and guru.
We consider how his stances have changed, whether he is more extreme now than when he emerged or if it is just his presentation style that has shifted. Along the way, we look at his demon-infested understanding of the COVID-19 vaccines, his climate change denialism, and address the unresolved question of the ages: Were the Nazis actually right-wing?

0:00.0 | The Hello and welcome to the coding the gurus the podcast we're an anthropologist and |
0:27.6 | a psychologist listen to the greatest minds the world has to offer and we try to |
0:31.2 | understand what they're talking about I I'm Matt Brown, I'm the psychologist. With me is Chris |
0:35.7 | Kavanaugh, he's the anthropologist, and today we are going to do mini-decoding charting the, well, dissent, I think we might have to call it, Chris, of one of our favorite stellar |
0:48.9 | shining lights in the Geros fear. Jordan B. Peterson. |
0:55.0 | That's correct. |
0:56.0 | He was somebody that we covered early in the show. |
1:00.0 | I think our further fourth episode was Jordan and he's cropped up multiple times |
1:07.8 | Since then but most recently he conducted an interview on streaming politics and philosophy with Destiny, Stephen Borneal. |
1:19.4 | He had a sit down and ended up saying a variety of unhinged things that we will cover. |
1:28.7 | But one interesting aspect of it was to consider just a little bit where Jordan has come from over the course of us covering him. |
1:41.0 | So we'll see today where he is today and we'll look a little bit, just a couple of times at previous clips from earlier content that we looked at and I think you can see a lot of the seeds but you can also see a difference |
1:56.2 | quite clearly in the presentation that if not all of the |
2:03.2 | aspects of the content. |
2:04.8 | Yes, it's a it's a pattern we've seen multiple times with our |
2:08.9 | gurus the the tendency to have this trajectory and we're still well we'll talk about it but we go |
2:15.4 | backwards and forwards as to whether or not it's indicative of some sort of |
2:19.6 | psychological issue on the part of the guru or whether it's maybe the financial and |
2:25.0 | social and attention dynamics that inevitably drives them in that direction so |
2:31.6 | so we'll see but I remember Chris when we first covered |
2:34.7 | Jordan Peterson like we we looked at his book 12 for life and you know I I think we |
2:39.6 | were pretty moderate in our evaluation we didn didn't love him, but I think we, like I don't, I don't think he was in our class of the worst type of guru. Am I remembering wrong? |
