Watch Jordan Peterson discuss the glorious death of the propaganda machine known as "mainstream media" and the rise of alternatives

Watch all of this in its entirety. You won't regret it.

A few highlights if you don't have 10 minutes:

  • "The legacy media types are – they're done – they're so done. And it's happened so fast. I notice among young people that the legacy media... all of whom had a monopoly on this kind of information flow, are so dead to people under 30 that it's as if their death isn't even noticed."
  • "I've only been able to have conversations like that [with world-leading authorities in their fields] in graduate seminars... in the most elite universities now and then... and now I can have that conversation with people and 150,000 to a million people can have access to it instantly. I think, God only knows what's going to be the consequence of that."
  • [Through new mediums] you can have two people having a genuine discussion about a complex issue. And so they're engaging in dialectical thinking and if they're good at it, they're modeling it. So they can model high-quality dialectical thinking and pull people along on an exploratory journey, and make it permanent. That's completely revolutionary. That's never been possible before."
  • "[You] can't hide behind anything [in long-form media] I don't think. There's no place to hide. In 2 hours, you've revealed your hand and everyone can see it. You reveal the weaknesses and strengths of your argument. You reveal the weaknesses and strengths of your character."
