  1. Couldnt agree less, i love the fact that such intellectual is biased towards religion cuze that bias resulted in amazing breakdowns you have all over youtube. I have never agreed with Jordan on the fundamental question, but you can be damn sure i watch all of his content sucking out every bit of information i can and there is a looot of info. Because he is biased, he is so refreshing with approaches. Sam would never come to conclusions Jordan did, neither would I and that's great. Jordan does all the hardwork and i steal what's useful

  2. Thomas, that first part of your comment scares the shit out of me like rarely something does. It seems that, as you get older, you lose ability to remain open minded. Einstein might be the most open minded person we have record of, he thought us how to look at fucking time, (as if there was something wrong in our perception of time, at the time) and so on, yet in his latter years of his life, he couldnt wrap his head around quantum physics insisting it was a complete nonsense. Now we know that Einstein's theories of relativity werent wrong per se, but just that there was more to life than that... i get the same feeling about Peterson,.. he is not wrong, but he fails to recognize (not open minded enough) that it's time to update some parts of his ideas, or rather, give a different dimension to it. I value truth over anything else in life and whole notion that i could easily fall into closed minded mentality scares me. I was thinking a lot about it, how i could prevent that, and i came up with few ideas: 1. Stop identfying with anything other than what's factual about me. For example if i shared opinions of an atheist, i wouldnt call myself an atheist. By doing so you dont fall into "confirmation bias", "positive reinforcement" trap. Factual example would be something like, i am a human being, i am male, etc. 2. Use phrase "i think" a lot and dont let yourself get attached to your accomplishments of any sort because then pride gets you... what do you think
