Recorded July 27 and 29 2021


Ben Burgis is the author of Give Them an Argument - Logic for the Left, Cancelling Comedians While the World Burns - A Critique of the Contemporary Left, and a co-author of Myth and Mayhem - A Leftist Critique of Jordan Peterson. He is also a philosophy instructor, a columnist for Jacobin Magazine and the host of the Give Them An Argument podcast and YouTube show. That second bit was copy/pasted from his amazon page - thanks again Bezos!


Ben joins two dipshits to discuss the individual appeal of right wing self help gurus like Peterson and Harris outlasting the IDW branding exercise. For a deeper analysis of Peterson's continuing influence, check Ben's episode with the other writers of Myth and Mayhem here. Check out Ben's books at the worker-owned bookshop Red Emma's.
