  • Jordan Peterson on Academia, the New Right, & Saving the West | Shane Has Questions

    Jordan Peterson on Academia, the New Right, & Saving the West | Shane Has Questions
    Jun 12 2025
    In this wide-ranging conversation, Shane Smith presses Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on everything from academia’s groupthink and campus protests to benzo withdrawal, love in the face of terminal illness, and the geopolitical shadow of China. Peterson fires back—sometimes reflective, sometimes raw—laying out why he believes voluntary self-sacrifice, not power or pleasure, is the only antidote to cultural decay. Along the way you’ll hear: Inside the Coma: Peterson relives the three-year ordeal that nearly killed him—and the family support that didn’t let him quit. Campus Cage Match: Why he rarely sets foot in universities anymore, and the moment Oxford’s Union tried (and failed) to sandbag him. Carbon, China & Cataclysms: A blunt debate on climate policy, cheap energy, and whether the West can out-compete Beijing without losing its soul. RFK Jr., Trump, and the New “Not-So-Conservative” Right: Peterson’s take on the strange coalition reshaping U.S. politics. Meaning vs. Hedonism: From punk-rock rage to religious myth, how sacrifice—rather than desire—can stitch our fractured lives back together. Don't miss a video!

  • My Life as an Economic Hitman with John Perkins

    My Life as an Economic Hitman with John Perkins
    May 22 2025
    John Perkins was once an economic hitman — a chief economist helping powerful corporations and governments entrap resource-rich countries in massive debt. Loans disguised as development aid ended up enriching the elite, while ordinary people paid the price.He shares the moment that made him question everything, the “death economy” fueled by short-term greed, and how China is now leading this global game with a new twist. This isn’t just history — it’s the story of how economic power shapes today’s world and what it means for our planet’s future.
