307 - Gregg Hurwitz - The Search for Political Nuance

I sat down again with the American novelist and screenwriter, Gregg Hurwitz. Gregg was part of the Daily Wire+ Exodus series discussion panel with Jordan Peterson, so I thought it was a good time for us to talk about what we took away from those discussions, Exodus, Christianity, CS Lewis, the importance of ritual, temperance, and a nuanced approach to social matters.<br /><br />Previous discussions: <br />- New Think - with Gregg Hurwitz: https://youtu.be/nR53MJd8VLI?si=AAIcbBjs4x1pHt9X<br />- Patterns in Politics and Storytelling | with Gregg Hurwitz: https://youtu.be/ykDHAapyaZ4?si=pNF0KV7uIInAMiUs <br /><br />Exodus series with Daily Wire+ and Jordan Peterson: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL22J3VaeABQAppIsV0MmKYhGeFGJsy-dS&amp;si=VxB_bJsEU-QvWHPW<br /><br />Gregg’s website: https://gregghurwitz.net/<br /><br />Original YouTube version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/tOhS9Gm_a5I<br />---<br />Timestamps:<br />00:00 // Preview<br />00:41 // Intro music<br />01:06 // Introduction<br />01:56 // Gregg's experience with the Exodus series<br />04:57 // Let the fringe be the fringe<br />13:06 // Layers of participation<br />15:04 // The essence of the laws<br />16:28 // Values and a foundation<br />20:20 // Humility<br />22:06 // A structure in which to navigate<br />25:39 // The necessity of ritual<br />31:04 // CS Lewis and The Great Divorce<br />35:28 // Freedom<br />38:25 // Hell<br />43:39 // Hypocrisy and accusation<br />48:09 // The Nine Worthies<br />54:34 // The messiness of life<br />1:03:22 // Guilt by association<br />1:08:54 // Pluralistic ignorance<br />---<br />💻 Website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com<br />🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jonathanpageau <br />🗣 Join The Symbolic World Community for discussions about symbolism: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe <br />🔒 BECOME A PATRON <br />Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/subscribe <br />Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos <br />📱 SOCIAL MEDIA <br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld <br />Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageau<br />Our website designers: https://www.resonancehq.io/ <br />My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.
