Professor Jordan B. Peterson and Bill Maher discuss the poison of political correctness and the necessary fight for free speech. Language warning.

First of all it’s hard to make people safe because life is seriously not safe. The way that you make people resilient is by exposing them to the things that they’re afraid of and that make them uncomfortable, voluntarily, but you use exposure.

So, if you over coddle people, if you protect them from everything that’s sharp, you make them dull and stupid and narcissistic, and it’s a really bad idea.

You can watch the exchange in the video below.
