Jordan Peterson: "I Told You Something Was Coming & Now It's Here..."

The Revolution of Free Speech and Media Power: Jordan Peterson Breaks It Down.

How did we get here? Jordan Peterson dissects the seismic shift in media and free speech triggered by revolutionary platforms like YouTube and the battle against legacy media giants. He explores how Bill C-63, a controversial new Canadian law, is emblematic of a global pushback against the democratization of information.

Peterson compares YouTube’s universal, permanent video format to the Gutenberg press—arguing it’s an even greater revolution, making knowledge and ideas accessible to far more people. But this change hasn’t come without resistance. Legacy media, threatened by technological advancements, clings to outdated monopolies, while new voices—political outsiders and direct communicators—rise to challenge traditional gatekeepers.

In a world where Elon Musk calls for reclaiming the electromagnetic spectrum from broadcasters and figures like Trump leverage alternative media to bypass traditional narratives, Peterson asks: what happens when technology empowers the masses and sidelines the elite? It’s a shift that’s global, disruptive, and reshaping how we understand influence, truth, and power.
