"Part of the reason that we're losing the scientific Enterprise right now is because we've unmowed it from its metaphysical substrate and it can't survive. If you're going to be a scientist you have to put the truth Above All Else." - Jordan Peterson

It's in this sense, that I consider myself a scientist. And it is my faith that drives it.

"With the death of God, many other things die things you don't expect and one of the things that dies when God dies is science. And no one expected that.

Science as a practice, is a religious practice predicated on religious axioms.

You have to believe that there's such a thing as truth. You have to believe that the truth is understandable. You have to believe that understanding the truth is good. You have to believe that there is such a thing as good.

So imagine, to be a scientist, you have to imagine that first of all the world is comprehensible to the human intellect, but more that, if you investigate the mysteries of the material world that will be beneficial. Those aren't scientific claims, those are metaphysical claims, and that metaphysical claim is nested in a story.

The Enlightenment types portrayed the Scientific Revolution as something contrary to the religious substrate and that's not accurate. It's a Luciferian intellect history. It's not true." - Jordan Peterson

"The intellect produces thoughts and attention gathers information."

"You don't see much of the world. You see it through narrow apertures. You see what you allow in."

"No one can have two selves... part of the reason why you have to be very careful about what you say and do is that when you practice falsehood, you become false. It's not like those are beliefs that are just in your head. You rewire yourself so you start to literally see the world through the frame of your falsehoods. That's a very bad plan... It's even worse than believing lies, you become the lie. The [lies] are built into you as implicit axioms." - Jordan Peterson

"What does the story of Moses mean?

As you walk through life, in your normal mode, things will call to you. And if you pursue them they will take you deep. It doesn't really matter what it is that calls. What matters is that you pursue it and you you pursue it to the depths. As you pursue it to the depths you will become transformed and if you do that without reservation, that will turn you into that will turn you into the person who frees the slaves and opposes the tyrants." - Jordan Peterson

"You want to walk into Paradise? Everything that isn't worthy in you has to be burned and cut away." - Jordan Peterson

"What does not using God's name in vain mean? Do not claim divine motivation for self-serving behavior. That's performative compassion." - Jordan B Peterson

"The Biblical Corpus is a hyperreal narrative." - Jordan B Peterson

"The Bible [a library] is sequenced into a narrative. No individual person sequenced it. It was the endeavor of the collective or the spirit that possessed the collective over thousands of years but the narrative is coherent.

The narrative is an investigation, number one, into the nature of God. Number two, into the nature of relationship with God. And number three, into the nature of the proper relationship with God and all of those things. God is the sum of all that's good. The Bible is an analysis of the human relationship with the good." - Jordan B Peterson

“the rejection wasn’t as catastrophic as they thought. more importantly, they learned they could continue moving forward in the face of rejection.” - Jordan Peterson

"If you're going to rectify your weaknesses, you have to admit your insufficiency to your own shame." - Jordan Peterson
