In the first episode of season 2, I (Stef, no longer with the wife Alistair) take a deep dive into Joe Rogan's podcast episodes with Jordan Peterson, and Robert Malone. Both episodes have incited controversy due to promoting various conspiratorial thoughts, namely climate change denial in the case of Peterson, and anti-vaccine rhetoric by Malone.
I look at how people, but mainly men in positions of power, use argumentation and their own rhetoric to convince others of their viewpoints, whether or not that viewpoint has an overall positive moral effect for society. Too often those in a position of authority present misleading facts for the sake of being right, rather than providing beneficial information, which is often tied in with power, be it based on gender, class, or race.
