I'm always fascinated by the fence straddlers who's commentary runs hot and cold depending on whether or not any particular pundit is aligning with their personal views and biases... Like the story of Exodus itself Jordan's new chapter began by leaving his old land of Academia and placing himself under the authority of a more powerful entity that would save him from the famine and starvation being imposed upon him from the old world...., perhaps like the Jews he describes he will have prosperity for a few centuries and grow and multiply until that system attempts to kill his creations and he is forced to flee through the sea and into the desert. Undoubtedly his fair weather friends and those clinging to his coattails for fame and profit will come and go... Peterson is one of the few honest actors in this drama and those that criticized his decisions know far less about where his true north is than they think they do.

I agree this is Jordan Peterson at his best. Paul, for Christians that have been part of local churches with small group Bible studies (like myself), it’s honestly quite amusing to see these high power intellectuals sitting around a table with Bibles open doing what’s basically a “small group”. A couple of the highlights for me: Jonathan Pageau’s insight on the de-masculinization of the Hebrews, a mother’s compassion being correctly placed, and the danger of wearing shoes!
