Episode Description

Today I had the opportunity to speak with podcast host, life coach, writer, and musician, Simon Drew. Our culture is heavily influenced by the various voices which dominate social and mainstream media, and when someone like Jordan Peterson speaks or says something that questions or even goes against the mainstream “gospel” so to speak, people lose their minds and all hell breaks loose. “You should conceptualize the highest possible good that you can conceive of that would be good for you, your family, your community, your country, your world. And then you should aim at that highest possible good because what have you got to do that’s better than that?” 14:44. We talk about why someone might still choose to do good even after leaving religion or the idea of God/an afterlife.

“I find it very comforting to constantly have that reassurance that I might also be on the wrong path and am likely on the wrong path, but that’s OK because the wrong path becomes the right path as long as we persist in seeking whatever is best.” 11:41
