Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Douglas Murray, author of “The War on The West,” discuss how a misguided purpose leads to abject misery, the cowardice of experts who choose silence in the face of malevolence, the psychology of fear, and the necessity of willful exposure to combat it.

​​Douglas Murray is a British writer, playwright, media correspondent and political commentator. He is the founder of the think tank the Centre for Social Cohesion, which is now part of the Henry Jackson Society. His publications include but are not limited to: “The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017),” “The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity (2019),” and most recently “The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason (2022)”. Murray has also written columns for publications such as “The Wall Street Journal” and is an associate editor for “The Spectator.”

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://bit.ly/3KrWbS8

"Are you talking at comparable depths?" - Douglas Murray "Religious axioms are the deepest fundaments." - Jordan Peterson "People are not sure they can cope with the questions they should be asking." - DM "If you want to get to the bottom of things, you are called upon, not only to face the ultimate of tragedy of existence, to face it full on. That's not enough. You actually have to face the problem of hellish malevolence itself. And that's a worse problem then death." - JP "You don't have to pair [exposure therapy to fear] with relaxation for it to work, as long as you are doing it voluntarily. You have to do it voluntarily." - JP "The way you learn is by facing an optimized challenge voluntarily. That pushes you slightly beyond your current limits." - JP "The reason you should be suspicious of people with no sense of humor isn't just that they don't know what is funny, but that they don't know what is serious either."
