This is the recording of a lecture I recently did along with The Theory Club by St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. You can see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKok6W5ULnc&amp=&feature=youtu.be. You can follow The Theory Club on Instagram here:https://www.instagram.com/thetheoryclub/. This was a part of their Dummies Guide series. This introduction was targeted at those who are new to the works of Nietzsche and I apologize to the scholars already by pointing out that this lecture simplifies his works quite a lot, mainly because the purpose was to give a general idea of the man and his works. Enjoy this one (I'd recommend increasing the playback speed).

In this episode, we explore Jordan B. Peterson's debating method. Peterson is a clinical psychologist and a renowned author but is mainly known for the way he speaks or debates.

Hello and Welcome to The Social Heckler Podcast. This is the first episode, where I describe the distinction between the land of academia and competency. This podcast follows a dialectical way of thinking, where I present my arguments, then present a counterargument and try to look for a synthesis.
