I had a baby :) I'll be back! Just give me some momma time :) Can I ask you something while I've got you? I don't think I will have time to edit in the same way. It takes hours. I am thinking of just uploading sans edits. Do you think that would be frustrating to watch? Happy to have any feedback you can give me!
Dr. Peterson sees the world through the lens of western culture. This tends to limit him. There are still indigenous people who think the same way, have the same beliefs they've always had. But Dr. Peterson's field of study is psychology, not anthropology. Just because he does not know a thing, cannot imagine a thing, doesn't mean that it is unknowable. One book I happened upon is "The Fruitful Darkness" by Joan Halifax, who worked with Jospeph Campbell as he was researching native stories. Her book chronicles her conversations and experiences with native teachers and has some Buddhism thrown in as well. A theme that comes up often is that humans are part of the natural world, not separate from nature. Not so unknowable after all. This is the reason why I stopped reading his "12 Rules" book a few chapters in. I realized that while his 12 tips are good advice, it felt like he was trying to speculate the why of it all off the top of his head, using only references to western culture (Greek, Roman, Christian Europe). If his tips were truly rooted in the human psyche, they should be more universal than that.
It’s odd to me that the assumption that believe in religion (even as fact-why else would you belief in it? If not it’s not really belief but playing a part for comfort’s sake.) and rational thought seem to be at odds to Peterson? From his other talks I didn’t think they were. Maybe that needs to be expanded upon or phrased better… great video though! Also, definitely don’t think it’s lost just because Peterson himself hasn’t learned how to regain it. Just because we aren’t at the center of the universe doesn’t mean there isn’t a reality beyond…. Confused on how those points go together as well
