McMaster in 2011

In March of 2017 there was chaos in the acoustic community on the McMaster University campus. Dr. Jordan Peterson, a man speaking in favor of free speech, was denied his platform by a mob asserting their free speech over his. A setting for discourse, for the exchange of ideas, was replaced by a hostile environment by a group that claims to be about openness and tolerance. I have placed Peterson’s voice to the space from which it was stripped three years ago. I did so not to reassert his political views, but to pass along a piece of wisdom from one of his lectures on an ancient Egyptian myth. A piece of wisdom that all should hear. A piece of wisdom that would otherwise fall on many deaf ears as a result of the unjust smearing of Jordan Peterson’s name. ***Walk at a regular speed around IAHS. Do additional laps if necessary as the soundwalk is designed to loop smoothly. And of course, pay attention.*** Based on Jordan Peterson's 2017 Maps of Meaning Lecture #7: Images of Story & Metastory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3n5qtj89QE
