Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

This is a great lecture series. Both atheists and orthodox should know going in that it's not a class on religion. It's a study of literature and mythology. Everyone can get something out of these lectures. It's a good argument for requiring the Old Testament as a subject in high school.

We listened to hours and hours of them on our drive back from vacation last fall. That may sound boring, but it's riveting.

Yes a great lecture series.

However watching Peterson lecture for 2 hours on youtube takes me 4 to 6 hours.

The bastard presents so much food for thought I have to keep hitting pause to cognate for a bit.

Yes. Sort of symphonic, isn't it?

I prefer to listen to it as an audio file while I do other things, particularly while driving.

Thank you for posting this video. Even though I disagree with several of his premises, I enjoy listening to him tremendously, because he explains himself so well, and he uncovers many truths. He is so rational, he's like a Mr. Spock.

I would suggest to him, though, that the complexity that he sees in man, and the complexity he finds in the Bible stories come from the same Creator. Indeed, that is a more rational explanation to me than believing that it all came from mud.
