Episode 20: Fromm Right to Left w/ Dr. Neil McLaughlin

Find out what German sociologist Erich Fromm has in common with Jordan Peterson in Episode 20: Fromm Right to Left, where we are joined by very special guest Dr. Neil McLaughlin. We discuss how market incentives have driven the “free speech” or “PC” university crises and inadvertently fuelled right-wing populism, the differences between American and Canadian perceptions of public intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, and the relevance of materialist vs. post-materialist values for contemporary Canadian social movements. We talk narcissism on twitter, Christopher Lasch, Zizek, the privilege discourse, Peterson’s “guru element,” and come to the conclusion that we must infiltrate the CBC.
