Garden philosophy
Fundamentally new set of conversations about science, wisdom, spirituality
Jordan Peterson Biblical Series
Just before the Cathy Newman interview
JEDI: Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion
He's a deep clinician. He's also a theorist. He's an empirical researcher, understands the scientific method and anchored
Spiritual agnostic, his fundamental fascination why have these stories carried the impact they have carried?
Conscious evolution awakening
Not up to the task of the problems and the nature of the world we're living in
Justification systems
The problem of psychology, the materialist flatland
Systems of Justification: network of propositions, is and ought, they give our lives certain meaning, we make sense of the world out of them.
Rooted in our justification and cosmopolitan among the other justifications
Be pluralistic some, be open to the idea that there is some ultimate truth,
Can we figure out a way to relate to each other with different justification systems, create a wisdom commons
We might not share the same ontology of the world
You go through different modes, as one person
Aliens
Integrated pluralism
Meta-values: are there things that we, universal moral values
Three meta-moral universal values: not the content of belief, what are sacred
Be that which enhances, dignity, wellbeing with integrity
Cosmopolitan globalist: United declaration of human rights 1948,
What justifies law? The justification for law was that people had dignity.
Fundamental dignity: confer to human beings fundamental dignity: abortion, euthanasia
Karl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, belong and esteem
Incremental dignity: did you live your best life today…
Valuing the human condition. Incrementally in relationship.
Well-being: Nested model of well-being. The elements that go into well-being and how to align them. The values of the evaluator.
Kant: happiness with the worthiness to be happy
Aristotle: eudaimonia: reaching your virtuous potential. Making a positive difference in the world
Integrity: honor, soundness, coherence, honesty
Global way of being, a rooted way of being
Tracks the evolution of cultural consciousness, across 4 different sensibilities: Invite us to see if we can build a way of being that integrates these 4 sensibilities and honors them
1. The oral/indigenous sensibility: they reflect a lot of what our nature is,
2. Traditional sensibility: a nation and a religion, traditional formal world views that bring civilizations together with an identity. How do we live. Judeo Christian version of reality.
3. Modernity: lots of value. Lots of ways of thinking. What emerges from science, Modernity pushes the church back and spreads, everywhere. Nietzsche this is going to be bad news when it comes to making values
4. Post-modern critique of modernism, any scientific dogmatism that gets knocked off and critiqued.
People have no idea of what their system of justification is.
Is there a stance we can relate to our systems of justification. Feel them and know we need them and step outside of them.
If we get the right frame on it we can abstract the wisdom from these traditions. Feel relationally connected.
The traditional mode of operating. Wisdom traditions from the Axial age.
Post-modern critique that warrants. You can take those four sensibilities. Might there be a way of making sense.
