Jordan Peterson Calls Out The “Pseudo-moralistic Stances” Of Activists | Q&A
Jordan Peterson responds to the Australian audience member who asks: “What answers do you have to the big issues that are facing humanity such as the economic crisis, a precarious job, and housing market, and climate change beyond banal truisms about cleaning one’s room?”

Q&A is a television discussion program that focuses mostly on politics but ranges across all of the big issues that set Australians thinking, talking, and debating.
It is driven by interaction:
Q&A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q&A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved.
