Thanks for reminding me this was out. I've been a big fan of Peterson sine his emergence to the spot light.

You may already know this since you know of Dr. Peterson, but Rebel Wisdom is another YouTube channel I enjoy.

I follow shapiro and think he's brilliant.

Give a listen to Andrew Klavan’s for a time or two. He’s originally a comedian and writer and does these satirical introductions to his shows, a few of them were so funny I had to check if I peed myself.

ETA: for example the one from last year on international women’s day.

I like him too, especially the fact that he’s a first generation Indian American who has completely embraced American, and more broadly, western values.

The usual left argument defaults to racism or bigotry won't work on him, so they have to resort to substance. Which, in their case, is generally emotion, and he tears their arguments apart. Love it.

With people like him, and Thomas Sowell etc., they still call them “racist.” They also call most black conservatives “Uncle Tom,” but somehow don’t see that that makes them the racist. They’re basically saying “you’re black so you have to think X,” which is the real racism. I just point out that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was more concerned with “the content of their character.” Malcom X also said that if you’re a black democrat you’re “a political chump and a traitor to your race.” Kinda racist there too.

Here's an interesting article regarding the Uncle Tom character. Turns out he's not a traitor, but a hero with convictions.
