The podcast episodes featuring philosopher Jack Symes explore the perspectives of agnosticism and atheism, and how they grapple with existential questions without appealing to a belief in God or a transcendent cosmic narrative.
In episode 478 of The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Symes presents the agnostic and atheist viewpoint, contrasting it with Peterson's own perspective that finds meaning and purpose through a belief in a greater cosmic order. Similarly, in episode #2193 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Symes and Rogan delve into the limitations of agnosticism and atheism in addressing existential questions about the meaning of life, the problem of evil, and the value of existence.
These episodes provide a nuanced exploration of how those who do not believe in God or a unifying cosmic narrative still seek to find purpose, significance, and ways to navigate the challenges of the human condition.
