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!
Paul it’s is fresh and exhilarating... the exact type of thing this little corner appreciates. I resist subscriptions but I highly recommend folks who have followed the JBP waves to watch this series. You can always cancel after it’s completed.
Another more overall aspect of the series could be how it links the current political situation in America to that of the tyranny of the Egyptian Pharaoh. In the sense of how the system is controlled, and the people have lost most of their individual freedoms.

They will not be disappointed.

Any indication about how the release of the rest of the series will be coming out? Weekly? Monthly? I can’t find anything online.
I've held out until now, PVK, but now I've subscribed to be able to watch the series.
