Please subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/JournalofLife One of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's most famous quote says, "And if you think strong men are hurtful, wait until you see what weak men are capable of." Now, the narrative that most of us have been listening to since childhood says that the one who has the power oppresses and exploits people and they hurt the weak ones. So, is Jordan Peterson saying just the opposite or is he actually clarifying what we have always seen right in front of our eyes but never really understood. What did Ayn Rand want to tell us by creating the character named 'Ellsworth Toohey' in her classic novel: 'The Fountainhead'. We also know, that most of Swami Vivekananda's teachings revolved around the principle of Strength. Now, the question arises what does Strength mean? Why did Swami Ji preach Strength all his life? What makes weak people dangerous? How to identify weak people around you? How to be strong in the face of inequality and injustice? Discussing all of these questions and much more in the latest episode.

Please subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/c/JournalofLife There has been a surge in our information sources in the past decade or so especially with the advent of social media. Most of the community is gathering their information from one or the pother social media platform. Now, here is a food for thought: What if the info is not just info but a means to manipulate and control? How do we decide if the platform owner is not just using the platform but filtering the info too according to their own whims? In such a situation how does one remain uninfluenced? Marshal McLuhan's Theory sheds light on this issue. Also, what is the importance of language? How does Language shape reality? How is language being attacked in the contemporary world? Discussing all of these questions and much more in the new episode of 'In conversation' series of our podcast 'Journal of Life.'
