Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris have had some really good discussions about religion, god and science organised by Pangburn Philosophy, moderated by Brett Weinstein and Charles Murray:
01 Harris/Weinstein/Peterson Discussion: Vancouver
02 Harris/Weinstein/Peterson Discussion: Vancouver
03 Harris/Murray/Peterson Discussion: Dublin
04 Harris/Murray/Peterson Discussion: London
I think Sam did well in posing interesting questions but ultimately he is too interested in trying to win a debate rather than actually delving into these ideas deeply and because of that his superficial understanding of Peterson's arguments expose him quite a bit - he's only half-listening. Especially when he is repeating Peterson's own reasonings on religion to back up his empiricism based logic. Anyway, it's illuminating for those with an open mind and you'll see why Peterson is probably the most popular intellectual in the world right now.
