Good discussion but I thought two great minds would be able to understand Jordan Peterson’s ideology. Especially as fellow unbelievers. The golden nugget or whatever it is we seek is not that obvious to find and we can argue for ever whether religion precedes it or flows from it. Either way, they define one another and can one survive without the other? Ask Andrew or Jeffrey or Peter. As for conspiracies, and scoring their likelihood of being true, what do you now give for the existence of God? More than 1%?
I really enjoyed it. I answered the moon one on Spotify. I think given how many times we have been lied to or gaslit by people in authority, it's quite understandable we see conspiracies everywhere. While a number of them have been proven to be true over the years I'm inclined to agree with Michael that it's more that these people are utterly incompetent and dishonest so they cover up their misdeeds rather than be honest. People in power don't want to lose that power so will lie to protect themselves and to hell with th rest of us.
That said I do think there are people with enormous power who will try and manipulate and engineer situations for the same reasons.
I know you're an atheist Andrew but I'm not so I know these people will face judgment eventually.....😇

The driverless train is preferable to the mad driver and his mate in charge of the train (or to borrow a Jordan Peterson term, the Cosmic Joker).
