  1. Lex, this is turning out to be one of your best interviews because you are bringing out the quality discussion Professor Peterson is capable of but rarely achieves in many interviews. It is incredible to hear Jordan Peterson pointing out that the left is doing so much to make his life miserable. I am confused; what happened to the left? The 60s revolution was all about letting people follow their hearts and to let others live free. To hear that the left has morphed into this beast that is suddenly attacking intellectuals with or without provocative ideas makes me sad, because somehow, somewhere people took a detour and ended up being worse than what the people who started left-leaning society in the first place were all about. I have heard Jordan Petersen say things that I might not agree with, but I could not imagine saying anything more than that. "Hey, I disagree with you on this subject Jordon." End of story. But no, Jordan is telling us people are so upset because of what he believes in that they are attacking him through the courts, interrupting his way of life, and even altering his professional life. This is wrong. What in the world is going on? I'll tell you what I think and you may or may not agree, but I think a lot of these people have whittled down the activities they do in their life to a minimum and suddenly when they see someone they disagree with, they make it their mission in life to silence the voices that say things they have long ago put out of their minds because it goes against what they think. They do everything in their power to shut a person down who has another visison on a topic. In the past, people on the left put people with conflicting ideas about how to live life on dedestals: think Johh Lennon, Mick Jagger, Leonard Cohen. I see people around me all the time who want to shut me down. You know who it is? It's the people who sit around all day and do nothing but smoke on their balconies or walk around the park to kill time. These are the critics who are complaining about anything they don't like. They're living in some prison in their minds.
