6/23/2025: If by Epistemic Collapse, you mean...

Knocked Conscious with Mark Puls

In this episode of If By Whiskey, Jason and Mark pour a stiff one and dive headfirst into the high-stakes intellectual rumble between Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris, recorded on June 6th, 2025. The conversation at hand? Nothing short of the collapse of collective truth.

Peterson and Harris confront the disintegration of trust in our institutions, the weaponization of information, and the chaos unleashed by digital platforms that now shape — and often shatter — our shared sense of reality. Harris sounds the alarm on the rise of independent media and misinformation in a post-October 7th world, while Peterson wrestles with the philosophical roots of identity, authority, and meaning in an age where deepfakes can rewrite your past in seconds.

Jason and Mark break it all down with their signature blend of sharp analysis, dry wit, and a touch of irreverence — from the psychological effects of algorithm-driven platforms like X, to the eerie frontier of AI-induced identity theft, to the bigger question: Can we rebuild institutional trust without losing our individual agency?

Pour a glass, take a seat, and prepare for a sobering conversation about truth, technology, and the digital ghosts we’ve unleashed.
