🎙️ Episode 22 — 12 Rules, One Blindspot: Jordan Peterson Under the Knife
Hint: What looks like wisdom might be moral rigidity in a trench coat.

Peterson didn’t write a book.
He dropped a philosophy grenade.
But when the dust settled, millions were left trying to follow a rulebook that didn’t bend — and blamed themselves when it broke.

This episode?
We surgically dissect 12 Rules for Life — and what happens when virtue becomes violence in slow motion.

👉 Why evolutionary metaphors don’t equal moral truth
👉 How discipline culture masks trauma — and turns suffering into status
👉 And what gets lost when one man’s gospel becomes a generation’s guide

We don’t cancel.
We calibrate — using the 7-layer Integrated Thinking Stack (ITS):

  • 🧠 When myth dresses up as biology and calls itself science (Cognitive Cleanse)
  • ⚖️ How virtue signaling turns into silence — and whose voices it erases (Moral Intelligence)
  • 🌍 What actually happens when millions build their worldview on a rigid rule set (Systemic Foresight)
  • 🧍 Why your nervous system may reject the gospel — and be right to do so (Embodied Insight)
  • 👥 Why real people can't live by perfect rules in broken systems (Human-Cantered Design)
  • 📉 What breaks when order is imposed without nuance or safety (Risk & Resilience)
  • ⚙️ How to build wisdom that learns, adapts, and actually survives chaos (Execution Engine)


This episode isn’t anti-Peterson.
It’s anti-moral dogma disguised as psychological clarity.
And it just might name the failure you’ve been blaming on yourself.

Hit play — and let’s tear this down. Layer by layer.
