Lex Fridman and Sam Harris are two giants in the world of thought and what great thinkers, like these two men are, but let's be real. Sam is trying to throw a life-raft to Jordan, his friend, and a great thinker in his own right, but Peterson's downfall is in clinging to the most famous person in the world who never existed. Jesus Christ was a bronze age imaginatory figure concocted by some pretty ingenious albeit faceless, people from that era. But Jesus was a bronze-age man because of one thing: when asked why his disciples didn't wash their hands, Jesus Christ said---and I am paraphrasing---they are clean within. If Jesus was truly the son of God he would have known about how important cleanliness was. Instead, we see bronze-age awareness coming from the son of the all-knowing God. If Jesus really was divine, he would have told people not to drink from the village well and to wash their hands and cleanse themselves every day. But no; we have had to wait 1900 years until bacteria were discovered. Jordan Peterson, like Sam Harris and Lex Fridman are a gift to the human family, but they have their flaws. It is up to everyone to do their proper research, and come to one's own conclusions. For myself, Jesus Christ was an invented figure who has been placed in a historical setting. Unfortunately, the mindset of the human family is flawed in it abitlity to see that we are the masters of our destiny, not some mythical figure that has no historical background.
