Summary
Today I'm joined by Gregg Hurwitz, bestselling author of Nemesis and expert storyteller, to explore how narratives shape our world—from Shakespeare to modern-day political discourse. We discuss his time as a student of Jordan Peterson, the attacks on free thinkers like JK Rowling, and the ideological battles over language and power. Are we witnessing the collapse of truth, and what can we do to reclaim it? Join us as we unravel the myths, manipulations, and mechanisms behind the fight for free thought.
