Brilliant analysis by @CosmicSkeptic. I don't believe that there's a hierarchy of values. Nor that, as far as you're concerned your theory is reality. Just a guess. I agree with Popper that a scientist should not believe his theories. I try not to believe anything of course.
youtu.be/5-yQVlHo4JA?si… Peterson’s critics usually present such uninspired criticisms that I feel compelled to defend him. But @CosmicSkeptic gives the most thoughtful critique of Peterson’s ideas about religion I’ve come across.
@MailOnline @CosmicSkeptic probably relevant given your most recent podcast episode
Thanks, Alex. This was a very surprising and positive encounter. Architecture, art, idolatry, would do it again any time.

My doctor seemed to think it wasn't a 'real medical concern' that the self might not survive the total cessation of consciousness brought about by general anaesthetic. What could be a more serious medical concern that ceasing to exist??!!
