The Culture Matters Podcast

Season 76, Episode 911: The Beyond Order Series: Rule 6

Jay Doran Season 76 Episode 911

"Something we cannot see protects us from something we do not understand. The thing we cannot see is culture, in its intrapsychic or internal manifestation. The thing we do not understand is the chaos that gave rise to culture. If the structure of culture is disrupted, unwittingly, chaos returns. We will do anything - anything - to defend ourselves against that return." - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief



We are continuing our series today with our very own Jay Doran going through Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, and giving his own interpretation of the text.  Our focus today is on rule number six which states: "Abandon ideology."  In today's climate, that seems like a fairly tall order, but what would happen if ideology was abandoned?  What would be the outcome?  What would be positive and negative?  We're getting into it on today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
