Jordan Peterson is famous for inspiring many to take religion seriously — but for me, he had the opposite effect.

We'll dive into beli…

Or was it all just nice-sounding words with no lasting impact? We tal…

In today's episode, I unpack the mental model I use when Christians try to impose their beliefs—especially around queer rights. I compare their moral arguments to veganism (yes, really) to show how the more forcefully someone wants to control others, the more evidence they need to bring to the table. Faith alone doesn’t cut it. I walk through four …

This is the tal…
