These interview of Prager by Rubin was to defend Peterson after his "fall from grace". They noted the lie of the Left that Jordan is an alt-right guru for angry young conservative men. Prager pointed out that it is a lie of project, that the angry young men and women in America are on the Left, not the Right. They feel like unfortunate victims of a totally corrupt, rotten America.
Prager assures us that Jordan is addicted and flawed but a good man, and I think that is so. He loves the truth. He hates evil and pain, but seeks to make the world a better place with less suffering. Jordan is a good man.
Some interesting Pragerism during the 20 minute interview:
A) All or most men should grow up, get married, start a family, and be willing to be a mature, manly adult, acting as a father-figure to younger man, helping him to grow up.
B) Jordan is correct; life is difficult and truth and meaning must be sought. To have a conscience is a universal condition, but we must nurture and heed this conscience, adopt responsibility, grow up, lead a good life and make the world a little better through self-improvement and self-discipline rather than seeking to remake the world out there.
C) Prager notes that we cannot admire someone that is perfect. Only a flawed person like Jordan, Moses or Churchill still do great things in spite of their flaws and imperfection. Even our heroes have feet of clay. Amen, I agree.
