Was Jordan Peterson's Meaning Strategy Insufficient to Save Himself?

Thursday Feb 04, 2021

The Times piece has the Jordan Peterson community troubled. The difference between the unedited recorded interview and the written piece exposed the corruption of Western mass media journalism. Journalists David Fuller and Tim Lott detailed this beautifully in this Rebel Wisdom conversation, but deeper questions linger beyond the common cheap shots leveled by Peterson critics.

Many of us did a deep diver into Peterson between 2016 and 2018. He was a revelation. We were, in some ways drawn to the miraculous. And then in June of 2019 it all fell apart.

The Peterson family chalks this up to a medical issue, but deep within the attraction of Jordan's crusade was an implicit transcendence of the physicalist boundaries. Can this reasoning really serve to frame his collapse?

How The Civil Rights Great Awakening Created the Religion that Denies It's a Religion

Wednesday Feb 03, 2021

This fascinating piece in Patheos on how the Civil Right movement carved out and replaced the American mainline tells an important story. It is a the center of the great current battle surrounding the moral combat played out in politics and the media today.

Andrew Root is a professor of Practical Theology at Luther Seminary in the twin cities. He's writing some important books building off the work of philosopher Charles Taylor. We didn't have a lot of time to get into his books but we did get into his story and it's a good one.

Language of Creation 4 Plus and WH Auden Forward of Barfield History in English Words

Tuesday Feb 02, 2021

Matthieu Pageau is attempting to help the reader render an English translation of the Greek and Hebrew of the Bible into the meaning system natively alien to most of us. This is a tall order. The Forward to Owen Barfield's "History in English Words" by W.H. Auden might be of some use. He notes that there is the "code" nature of language and the "speech" nature of language. These two streams cannot be pulled apart and that is an integral aspect to what Pageau is trying to pull together.

Jordan Peterson and daughter Mikhaila Battle the Idols of Babylon emerging from the Fiery Furnace

Monday Feb 01, 2021

A new interview with @Jordan B Peterson and @Mikhaila Peterson emerged in The Times from the UK. It was clear from the downstream chatter that it was fresh and spicy. I was busy Sunday morning so I didn't get a chance to pursue it deeply but I figured the Petersons must have disagreed with it because they released the recordings of the interviews. The whole thing is really helpful in terms of not only getting a sense for how the Petersons see their world but also how the idealized idolatrous image of our culture colonizes us all. As I made the video the symbolism of Daniel 3 emerged so I ran with it.

Russian/German, Machinist/Lawyer, Catholic/Orthodox/Mennonite. Sorting it all out

Monday Feb 01, 2021

Igor came in for a conversation. Quite a story, just beginning.

Notes:
Russian Mennonite tradition, Descendants of Dutch Anabaptists

Russian evangelicals

Part of a Russian orthodox church in Kazakhstan

Moved to Germany at the age of 7

Father was the Volga Germany, recruited by Katherine the Great from Germany

They were culturally Catholics

Parents were both musicians, left in 1995 , suddenly didn't go to church anymore

Theologically aligned most to the Southern Baptist

Orthodox church doesn't talk the same way about God as the evangelicals do

Don't follow your friends became the foundation

Went to Australia doing missions, Found wife in the church

Deep psychological crisis around 2015

Caught the whole JBP thing right from the beginning

Plugged into the conservative commentary from the states, Klavan, Shapiro,

You could see that something was building up

It was at the same time a crisis in faith, struggle in nihilism

JBP happening after he got into apologetics, RAVI Zacharias and WLC, Zacharias had this way of combining theology and philosophy that he was missing

JBP started his Biblical series… there is a way of talking for an hour about the framework of Genesis

This guy is the biggest de-converted of atheists in the entire world.

Stopped with the law school, went into manufacturing, tried to be the best person you could be, the transformation was incredible…

It wasn't from the Bible, spiritual input, practical self help stuff…

Transformed him

Deep deep loss of tradition

Modernity coming to an end

The seeker movement wasn't built to last

Trying to reconcile his own history

Now 32

Famous cathedral in Cologne

Giving up that history because "we just have to believe in Jesus"

Trying to keep a post-reformation tradition a alive and struggling with the Reformation itself

Lost in a Culture war? How do you know what to believe and who to follow?

Saturday Jan 30, 2021

Americans deeply divided by virtue of trying to figure out conflicting news sources. People have political agendas on every side. None of this is new.
