Alex O'Connor is incredible in this episode as he explains the unholy alliance of Richard Dawkins and Jordan Peterson (New Atheists & Religious Conservatives). He also looks into conspiracy theories, sloganeering of facile political views, transgender ideology, Palestine and the afterlife. #heretics #genderidentity #antiwoke  Alex O'Connor is one of my favourite YouTubers.
