Let’s face it, there are many people who are majority thinkers and then there are far fewer people who are minority thinkers. No doubt, Jordan Peterson is an independent minority thinker (IMT), which makes him both captivating and controversial. In this episode, Kendell & Evelyn critique an article written by Dr. Brad East (a theologian and author) over his review of Peterson’s latest book “We Who Wrestle With God.” So, basically this is a critique of a critique, but the overall message is that being an IMT is not necessarily a bad thing—in fact, it’s preferred. Do you consider yourself an Independent Minority Thinker?
