‘Follow the Science’ Leads to Ruin

Bjorn Lomborg joins Jordan Peterson on his podcast to explore the idea of how we do good in the world most effectively.
In order to get to a point where we can discuss investing in better education and nutrition, we also need to confront the sense of impending doom that has swept the western world and specifically today's young people. Together, Peterson and Lomborg break down the ideas of social credit and easy activism, and paint the picture of a world we can strive for, without the demonization and destruction of the one we currently inhabit.

Rather than following the West’s costly policies, low-carbon innovation, climate adaptation and poverty alleviation as well as additional investments in areas like maternal and newborn health and agricultural R&D are keys to real progress and development toward climate resilience in the developing world, including Indonesia.
