Real talk though: Dr K seems like an alright guy but if you have insurance and can afford it you should go talk to a psychologist in real life. And that argument with his wife was pretty out there, I hope that's not a regular occurrence.

    Narcissists LOVE being mouthpieces for God. Either as pseudo-academics or outright preachers. A narcissist's greatest fear, is that they aren't very important. That they have very little access to power or wisdom. GOD gives their fearful, childish brains a self-narrative that they have the inside scoop on what existence is, why we're here, what we're supposed to do here, where we're going, AND confirms they're very good friends with The Most Powerful One, and those that doubt them will be tortured forever. It's an extremely appealing narrative for a self-absorbed blowhard who thinks everything they're involved in is more grand and sophisticated than others. Lifelong Christians are actually more tolerable. Sometimes, they're living the humble life. But middle-aged narcissistic blowhards recovering from personal life crises (Kanye West, Alex Jones, Jordan Peterson, Russell Brand, etc) virtually always convert to God as an extension of their own narcissism. A new tool with which to enhance their own perceived grandiosity and wisdom, and a new tool with which to curse those who dissent from them. And unlike some forms of real academics, it's unfalsifiable. God, and God's various specific branches of belief like Christianity, cannot be disproven. So it's a very effective way to sound weighty, and righteous, and wise, and grandly important and deep, all while never being subjected to the awkward moment in real academics that someone's horseshit is technically proven false. A fantastic mid-life escape hatch for career bullshit artists down to their last option for public support.

    Not sure how to drop a comment about your specific podcast episodes. I don't know if you guys use email for that But I wanted to say I heard the third entry in the Dr. K series Great criticism as always. People will say "out of context" when all the context necessary to the criticism is infact there, like the way he addresses his wife on stream. But I did want to say, the over reliance on sarcasm borders the snarky/condescending approach that online lefties take. A couple times is funny and gets the point across but I feel like I hear Chris go "But don't you know Matt, it's okay because I said this isn't therapy before I started". or something of the sort. What you're saying is right but I feel like there is way too much of this going on. Purely subjective opinion. I agree with the content of the criticism regardless.

    Not a fun fact, after Hancock lost the debate, Dan Richards (a man with no background in archeology or history) put out a hit piece on Dibble where he made numerous false claims such as Dibble using Native American remains to teach. For the record, Dibble doesn't teach about human remains at all something that is very easy to look up. This means Richards either didn't do any research or deliberately lied. Hancock, being the lovely gentlemen that he is, promoted the hit piece.

    Jordan Peterson doesn't know what it means to believe in the resurrection? Really? He acts as if he's been asked a complicated question. People don't ask him how he believes in the resurrection, but whether he does. That's not a difficult question! Jordan Peterson just wants to be vague to have an out when people attack him.

      There _are_ many interpretations of what the resurrection could be, but _any one of them_ gives the answer "Yes, and more specifically I believe that ...", rather than trying to define axioms to hide behind.

    Whether most of these guys are gurus depends on whether or not they have followers who put them in that position. Hitchens was just a bit loathe to admit defeat and was slippery for that reason. It was arguably his confidence and doggedness which made him such a good journalist. Douglas Murray looks genuine to me, is very capable of holding his own under serious interrogation and there is the added bonus that he is arguably correct in his central tenets. He is carrying on where Hitchens left off in some respects, in fact he discusses extant circumstances which are the very ones Hitchens warned Britain of.
