Marcus finally finds a slot. He's a graduate student in economics who's got interested in Jordan Peterson in college. William James is one of Peterson's sources that I haven't adequately covered so we go there and we talk about the moral philosophy of Adam Smith. His Youtube channel Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF0sWy0CRX5o8HihsNh_UiA Philly, statistician, and phycisist Non denominational evangelical Armenian Catholic school Homeschooled Father was a libertarian Economics George mason University AP European history class Matthew Allison's channel Liebnitz' cosmological argument Joe Rogan podcast JBP says "I'm deeply religious" In his mother's basement, playing minecraft Peterson was a weird rock though college Member of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship Went to an Anglican church in the area Two kinds of atheism: Bertrandt Russell and Fredrick Nietzsche All his friends realized they were getting into Orthodoxy Jordan Peterson Dan Klein, wrote an article about JBP on SSRN JBP's use of the word post-modern POMO bashing, not the strategy Zizek and Tyler Cowen William James the Value of Saintliness "How is success to be absolutely measured when there are so many environments and so many ways of looking at the adaptation? It cannot be measured absolutely; the verdict will vary according to the point of view adopted. From the biological point of view Saint Paul was a failure, because he was beheaded. Yet he was magnificently adapted to the larger environment of history; and so far as any saint's example is a leaven of righteousness in the world, and draws it in the direction of more prevalent habits of saintliness, he is a success, no matter what his immediate bad fortune may be. The greatest saints, the spiritual heroes whom every one acknowledges, the Francises, Bernards, Luthers, Loyolas, Wesleys, Channings, Moodys, Gratrys, the Phillips Brookses, the Agnes Joneses, Margaret Hallahans, and Dora Pattisons, are successes from the outset. They show themselves, and there is no question ; every one perceives their strength and stature. Their sense of mystery in things, their passion, their goodness, irradiate about them and enlarge their outlines while they soften them. They are like pictures with an atmosphere and background ; and, placed alongside of them, the strong men of this world and no other seem as dry as sticks, as hard and crude as blocks of stone or brickbats."
