The Dr. Jordan B. Peterson Podcast: A flavorful and expansive conversation on freedom of speech hosted by Jordan Peterson with guests Bruce Pardy of Rights Probe and Konstantin Kisin, a Russian-British satirist/author/podcaster. Through the lens of the Online Harms Act (C-63), the discussion travels back in time to revisit Bill C-16, to the shifting ground of today the rule of law flounders on. We may think we believe in Voltaire’s dictum, “I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” but we can see that this is not true in practice for many of us. How do we avoid tyranny when our desire for safety necessitates a managerial state and our loss of autonomy? Are we willing and able to accept that freedom isn’t a safe ride and that some harm is a consequence of freedom and a price worth paying? To what extent should we be free? Join Jordan, Bruce and Konstantin as they explore the concept of freedom itself within the landscape of meaning we navigate as a society.
