On November 2, 2016, DocAmitay spoke about Dr. Jordan Peterson's emergence as an intellectual leader and head of the recent vanguard that is fighting to compel people to use critical thinking and fact/science/evidence-based logic and reasoning to resist the dangerous and unfounded ideology being forced upon society by the PC/Thought Police, Marxists and other extremists on "the left." However, for some reason this podcast was never released. Here it is, four months after the fact and three weeks after Dr. Peterson gave his brilliant talk to Dr. Amitay's class at Ryerson University: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTeIGNsA9xdeVDbt7G6nPniejG5uDt3BX
