Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

That's hilarious! I had no idea there was more to this. Thanks for sharing.

Now I gotta track down Rogan and Peterson talking about Dawkins.

If you're a fan of extreme cringe, Jordan Peterson's podcast episode with Richard Dawkins is the source for all that. But the double helix thing was probably the most entertaining one.

Holy crap, I just listened to it, it's a monologue by Peterson. He's just talking at Dawkins, it's incredible. Completely oblivious.

20 minutes of rambling builds up to Jordan Peterson saying he thinks people can comprehend DNA by moving their consciousness down to the micro level. Dawkins just repeats that back baffled. Then before he can even give a proper response, Peterson says: "I have have taken extremely high doses of psilocybin."

The best cringe.

How the fuck do you "move consciousness" and what is the "micro level",

I understand all of these words, but they are meaningless in this order!

Of course Dawkins and Peterson are rubbing elbows, I mean Peterson is basically the top person on Harris' speed dial.
