David French: Jordan Peterson, Young Men, & Virtuous Masculinity
Om avsnittet
What Role Does Jordan Peterson Play in Shaping Young Men's Views on Masculinity?
Host Curtis Chang teams up with "founding friend" and New York Times columnist David French to unpack David's recent conversation with Jordan Peterson—and the crisis facing young men today. From mental health struggles to educational decline, David and Curtis take a hard look at what's shaping young male identity in modern America, including the outsized influence of figures like Peterson. They explore how political polarization, digital culture, and a loss of purpose are driving young men to extremes. Most importantly, they offer a redemptive vision: practical ways to cultivate virtuous masculinity through mentorship, community, and spiritual formation.
