To head off any parties saying "relevance???" at the pass, this (long) conversation between Peterson and Haidt goes a long way to explaining and informing a number of issues relevant to MR.

1) They swap notes (learned, informed ones) about the roots of the SJW movement and its apparent mushrooming in recent years;

2) They talk about the how and why of the rise of SJW/ Feminist/ women's studies camps in uni and the way alumni of these institutions spread the virus;

3) Haidt in particular is very sound and eloquent on the implications of the "safe space/ de-platforming" mentality on both uni campuses and the calibre of graduates entering the workforce;

4) Both - but especially Haidt - make valuable distinctions between genuine lefty views and the new SJW/ Feminist "Left", which Haidt labels "the illiberal left".

There is a lot more to this chat that is well worth listening to (though I will say that the audio quality is bloody annoying) and while it's tangential to MR, it certainly helped me understand the cultural backdrop to a lot of content on this sub that appears to me to be trivial - IOW the "generation gap" is a thing.

It's also thoroughly entertaining.

TRIGGER WARNING^{^s:} video content will result in viewers needing to THINK.
