That's Dale Earnhardt a NASCAR driver that died in 2001 in a crash while racing.

I don't know why he's popping up in memes now though.

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.

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.

One of my favorite examples of Jordan Peterson stupidity is when he was lecturing about some ancient civilization artwork that showed two serpent creatures creating humanity. He said that because the snakes were drawn in a double helix that this ancient civilization knew about and wanted to represent DNA.

Snakes coil around one another in a double helix when they mate. The snake creatures in the art were just fucking.
