I tried in this book not to put forward any propositions that I couldn't justify scientifically, but I'm not making a scientific case for God.

Laptop from Hell

Now I read the Biden laptop book, Miranda Devine's book, 'Laptop from Hell,' and the Bidens have been making excuses for Hunter of the sort that a relatively unsophisticated, dependency-enabling parent could make with some justification the first time their 14-year-old son committed a juvenile offense.
Dr. Peterson speaks about reading 'Laptop from Hell' by Miranda Devine, a book that discusses the controversies surrounding Hunter Biden's laptop.
You may remember, or you may not, that I spoke to Miranda about her last book, 'Laptop from Hell.' She has a new one called 'The Big Guy,' which continues her documentation of the Biden family and deep state saga.
Dr. Jordan Peterson recalls his previous conversation with Miranda Devine about her book 'Laptop from Hell.' He uses this reference to segue into discussing her latest work.
Miranda, we spoke about a year ago, and I think I released our first podcast on October 4, and that was 'Laptop from Hell,' which was a catchy title. After delving into your book and through the associated material online, I found that to be a pretty appropriate title.
In this segment, Dr. Jordan Peterson reflects on his previous discussion with Miranda Devine regarding her book, 'Laptop from Hell.' He highlights the book’s catchy title and expresses his agreement with its relevance.
I don't remember if I gathered this information from your book on the laptop, but perhaps I did. My understanding is that the Bidens have surrounded themselves with a very complex network of shell companies and that much money from foreign business dealings has been funneled through those companies involving extended members of the Biden family, most particularly, I guess, this all centers to some degree on Hunter.
Dr. Jordan Peterson discusses Miranda Devine's book, 'Laptop from Hell,' suggesting he may have gathered insights regarding the extensive network of companies associated with the Biden family from her writings.
It was strange to me, of course, going through 'Laptop from Hell,' to understand that Hunter Biden had come along with his father on his foreign affairs voyages. I thought that was strange for two reasons: first, Hunter was not exactly behaving in an admirable manner at that point with regard to his personal habits, and that was unwise for someone in the position of Joe to tolerate.
Dr. Jordan Peterson discusses insights from the book 'Laptop from Hell', expressing his concerns about Hunter Biden's behavior while accompanying his father on foreign trips.
There is some evidence on the laptop that I mentioned in the first book that Hunter Biden was funding Joe Biden—he was paying some of his bills for the sort of maintenance and upkeep of his estate in Delaware, things like a painting and putting in a retaining wall and new air conditioning in a cottage on the grounds, new shutters.
Dr. Jordan Peterson's reference to 'on the laptop' pertains to evidence discussed in Miranda Devine's book, titled 'Laptop from Hell', which outlines allegations regarding Hunter Biden's financial contributions to Joe Biden.
It's not surprising in some ways that one of the reactions of the broader media was to assume that this couldn't possibly be real, because when you read it, I mean, I'm still recovering from reading your book, and I want to delve into that as deeply as possible to establish, let's say, its credibility.
Dr. Jordan Peterson discusses his experience of reading the book 'Laptop from Hell', expressing his interest in thoroughly examining the claims made within it for credibility.
But I’m really taken aback by the material that you reported in 'Laptop from Hell.' I don't know what to make of it.
Dr. Jordan Peterson expresses his surprise regarding the material presented in Miranda Devine's book 'Laptop from Hell.'
And when I was reading your book, I was trying to give Hunter the benefit of the doubt, partly for the reasons that you describe.
Dr. Jordan Peterson discusses his reading of 'Laptop from Hell' by Miranda Devine, as he attempts to extend the benefit of the doubt to Hunter Biden, in light of the explanations provided by the author.
Now, you go out of your way in your book to point out there's absolutely no evidence, as far as you can tell, that he veered into, say, underage sexual activity, and so that's a very important thing to point out.
Dr. Jordan Peterson highlights that Miranda Devine makes a clear effort in her book 'Laptop from Hell' to emphasize that there is no evidence of Hunter engaging in any underage sexual activity, which is a significant detail to clarify.
That's what the book is; I mean it's just laying out and trying to distill this mess of a laptop.
Miranda Devine explains that her book 'Laptop from Hell' provides a detailed examination of the information contained on the laptop she is discussing.
Now in your book, you said that and you just elaborated on that now because, you know, one of the things people might be wondering is, well what the hell is this laptop shop owner combing through this hard drive for to begin with?
In this excerpt, Dr. Jordan Peterson references Miranda Devine's book 'Laptop from Hell', discussing the laptop shop owner's investigation of a hard drive.
Now you detailed this in your book that Mac Isaac actually got extremely nervous once he realized what was on the laptop and he went to the FBI; is that correct?
Dr. Jordan Peterson discusses Miranda Devine's book 'Laptop from Hell', where she details how Mac Isaac became extremely nervous after realizing the contents of the laptop and subsequently went to the FBI.
And then to have the security community come out, now you detail this in your book too; there are dozens of people from the security and intelligence community that come out and say, oh, this is definitely Russian disinformation.
Dr. Jordan Peterson refers to Miranda Devine's book 'Laptop from Hell', in which she describes how numerous individuals from the security and intelligence community have spoken out, addressing claims that the laptop information was Russian disinformation.
The, uh, that was a letter that was written just a few days after our story came out and was suppressed, and it was designed, we know, to help Joe Biden in the second debate against Donald Trump in which obviously the laptop from hell is going to come up.
Miranda Devine discussed 'the laptop from hell' while describing a letter from former security and intelligence officials that was written to assist Joe Biden in the second debate against Donald Trump, aimed at countering her story.
So how's your book done, by the way?
Dr. Jordan Peterson inquires about the progress of Miranda Devine's book 'Laptop from Hell,' reflecting on its status after some time.
Miranda, that's, uh, that's quite the book, Laptop from Hell; for those of you again who are watching and listening, you might want to go read that and, you know, draw your own conclusions because this is, uh, it's something you should be investigating and thinking about, especially because there's an election upcoming in, you know, about a year, and it's going to be an important one.
Dr. Jordan Peterson encourages listeners to read Miranda Devine's book, 'Laptop from Hell', suggesting they draw their own conclusions about its content, especially in light of the approaching election.

We discuss his most recent book, A Letter to the American Church, which argues that it's a betrayal of faith to stay silent in the face of tyranny.
Dr. Jordan Peterson introduces Eric Metaxas's new book, 'A Letter to the American Church,' highlighting its main argument that remaining silent in the face of tyranny is a betrayal of one’s faith.
So you recently wrote A Letter to the American Church.
Jordan Peterson inquires about a recent book authored by Eric Metaxas titled A Letter to the American Church.
This most recent book, which is my shortest book, A Letter to the American Church, is the first time I have ever written something specifically only for those who claim to be Christians.
In this segment, Eric Metaxas discusses his book, 'A Letter to the American Church,' describing it as the first book he has specifically written for Christians and noting that it is his shortest.
I don't know how some people will take this, but I've never felt that God called me to write something the way He did this book.
Eric Metaxas discusses the compelling inspiration he felt from God to write the book, sharing his personal experience and the significance of this calling.
You know, if you think of the title A Letter to the American Church, it would be natural to think what kind of hubris are we talking about here, that somebody would dare to write a letter to the American church as though he's a modern-day Paul or something like that.
In this segment, Eric Metaxas discusses the title of his book, A Letter to the American Church, and reflects on how some may perceive it as a bold move, akin to that of a modern-day Paul writing to the church.
I don't mean this in any mystical sense, but I was very sober-minded about writing something with the title A Letter to the American Church.
In this excerpt, Eric Metaxas explains his thoughtful approach to writing 'A Letter to the American Church'.
It was impossible for me to avoid the thought that just as the silence of the church in Germany opened the door to hell on Earth, which we now know because we know what happened, and of course, I documented it in my Bonhoeffer book and in this new booklet to the American church.
In this segment, Eric Metaxas draws a parallel between the church's silence in Nazi Germany and the current complacency, referencing his book 'A Letter to the American Church' to emphasize the consequences of inaction.
But the thesis of this book, A Letter to the American Church, is that precisely as the German church was silent, and precisely as that opened the door to hell to every kind of evil, it is the silence of the church in America now that is similarly opening the door to hellish things on a number of fronts.
In this segment, Eric Metaxas discusses the thesis of his book, 'A Letter to the American Church', highlighting the parallels between the silence of the American church today and that of the German church during Hitler's rise, suggesting that this silence is similarly allowing evil to flourish.
The only time I felt something more palpable of God's inspiration was in writing A Letter to the American Church.
Eric Metaxas shares that writing 'A Letter to the American Church' was when he experienced the most profound sense of divine inspiration.
But as I say, it kind of became pointed with A Letter to the American Church because of the seriousness of what I was writing.
Eric Metaxas discusses how the gravity of the themes in 'A Letter to the American Church' inspired him deeply as he wrote.
And that's why in A Letter to the American Church, I'm writing specifically to those people, Christians who claim to believe in the God of the Bible, to believe that Jesus defeated death on the cross.
Eric Metaxas mentions that 'A Letter to the American Church' is authored for Christians, focusing on their beliefs about the God of the Bible and the message of Jesus's victory over death.
One of the theses of my book, A Letter to the American Church, is that just as the German church drifted tragically in its conception of what is faith, so too the American church has drifted.
Eric Metaxas discusses his book 'A Letter to the American Church', which argues that both the German church and the American church have strayed in their understanding of faith.
In the course of writing my new book, the shortest book, 'Letter to the American Church,' I came to the conclusion that as horrific as it is to think about what the silence of the German church led to, the silence of the American church now, if we do not repent and begin to speak out boldly against every one of these things, the result will be worse, even if possible, than what happened in the Holocaust.
During a discussion about his latest book, 'Letter to the American Church,' Eric Metaxas reflects on the dangers of silence within the church. He draws parallels between historical events and warns that failing to speak out against current issues could lead to results even worse than those seen during the Holocaust.
But I'm talking in this last book, Letter to the American Church, specifically to those who already claim to believe this, and I say, listen, if you believe this, you're on the hook for actually leading the way in showing people what courage looks like, in showing people that no, there is this thing called truth, and we are made to speak truth and to act truth.
Eric Metaxas addresses his audience regarding his book, 'Letter to the American Church,' emphasizing that it is aimed at those who profess to be Christian and encourages them to lead by example in demonstrating courage and truth.

It seems to me, too, that I did this in my Maps of Meaning book, and I wanted to make sure that the propositions I put forward could be validated pharmacologically, neurologically, psychologically, and from the perspective of cybernetics and narrative—five dimensions of triangulation.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson discusses his book, 'Maps of Meaning,' explaining how he aimed to validate his ideas through various disciplines, including pharmacology, neurology, psychology, and narrative.

In this segment, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson discusses his book "Maps of Meaning," sharing that it originally began as a 40-page poem, highlighting his creative writing process.
When I wrote Maps of Meaning, I did that; I used the Jungian works in that regard, but I also used what I knew about neuropsychology and neuropsychopharmacology, with the presumption being that if all these pointers pointed to the same thing, it was probably there.
Dr. Peterson discusses his book, 'Maps of Meaning,' while explaining his research methodology. He highlights how he draws on Jungian theory and neuropsychology, suggesting that his comprehensive approach lends credibility to his findings.
When I wrote my first book, 'Maps of Meaning,' I included a chapter entitled 'The Divinity of Interest,' which focused on calling. This is also implicit in your principles.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson discusses his book 'Maps of Meaning,' mentioning a specific chapter that delves into the idea of 'calling' or purpose.
And when I taught this course at Harvard and then at the University of Toronto, and it's online, called Maps of Meaning, I think what it's about is the inevitable religious substrate of culture itself. I have a reason for saying inevitably religious.
Dr. Jordan Peterson references his book 'Maps of Meaning' while discussing a course he taught at Harvard and the University of Toronto. He connects the book to the idea of the religious underpinnings of culture and mentions that it's available online.

In this segment, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson refers to concepts from his book, 'Maps of Meaning', as he discusses the connections between his ideas and previous findings in the realm of mythological analysis and behavioral psychology.
I was literally just reading through all the beginnings of the chapters of 'Maps of Meaning' yesterday, especially the chapter on 'The Hostile Brothers.' The chapter discusses two transpersonal archetypes we can embody at the individual level.
In this segment, Jordan Peterson shares that he was revisiting his own book, 'Maps of Meaning', and highlights the chapter titled 'The Hostile Brothers', which explores two transpersonal archetypes that individuals can embody.
First of all, when I wrote my book 'Maps of Meaning,' I analyzed the structure of redemptive stories. Your life is a redemptive story if you're fortunate because you have a lot of trouble in your life and yet you plow through and take care of that trouble.
In this segment, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson references his book 'Maps of Meaning' while elaborating on the concept of redemptive stories. He discusses how these narratives are central to understanding life's challenges and the importance of overcoming them.
Epstein has pointed out in his new book, 'Fossil Future', something I’d also investigated in my 'Maps of Meaning' book: this underlying religious narrative is basically a Gaia narrative.
In this segment, Jordan Peterson refers to his book 'Maps of Meaning' while discussing a concept related to religious narratives that he also examined in the context of Alex Epstein's new book, 'Fossil Future'.
Now, you asked about identity, and I used the example of a child's game, but I could go through identity more generally. I particularly focus on this in Maps of Meaning. For example, let's say I'm sitting and typing.

During the discussion, Dr. Jordan Peterson explicitly mentions Dr. Nigel Biggar's recently released book, 'Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning,' indicating its success.
So in my book, tell me if I'm wrong, when I'm coming to a judgment about the British Empire, I don't shy away from the really bad bits. Insofar as I identify as British, those are painful for me to admit, but I do admit them.

There are a number of pages that deal with the 150 years of abundant involvement in slave trading and slavery in, I think it's the second chapter.
Dr. Nigel Biggar discusses his book, 'Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning,' in the context of how he addresses negative aspects of the British Empire in his research.
I've read them, and on the whole, I mean, are there a number of cases in the book where I lay out what they say and then I take it apart? Most of the time, in my view, it falls apart, but as I said, the reader can see what I'm doing exactly, and if the reader thinks I'm not playing fair or I'm cheating in some way or I'm overlooking something, they can see it.
Dr. Nigel Biggar discusses his book, 'Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning,' elaborating on how he critiques its content, allowing readers to follow his arguments and potentially challenge his interpretations.

Dr. Peterson shares his experience of rereading 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand, reflecting on his evolving understanding of the core issues in her philosophical ideas over the years.
Rereading Atlas Shrugged four or five years ago ironically is what made me realize my own deficiencies in thought about the free market and a couple of other shibboleths of the right, which is to say that so many very thoughtful men and women who are devotees of Rand make the mistake that she's making, and they haven't thought through the consequences of that as it relates, for example, to regulatory capture.
Dr. Roberts reflects on his past rereading of 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand, noting that it allowed him to recognize his own shortcomings in understanding free market principles and the related complexities.

Dr. Jordan Peterson introduces Naomi Wolf and mentions her first book, 'The Beauty Myth,' which challenges societal notions of attraction.
When I read The Beauty Myth, which was a long time ago by the way because it was published in 93, I was curious about what you made of the biological markers of beauty and how you think that plays into what you described as the Iron Maiden straitjacket placed on women in terms of the ideal of their sexual self-presentation mission.
During a deeper discussion on the biological aspects of beauty, Dr. Peterson references 'The Beauty Myth.' He reflects on the book's themes and how they relate to women's societal expectations, marking a significant point in the conversation.
But I will say that now I think that young men, for instance, like a whole phenomenon that I find fascinating—I might find it fascinating as an older woman who's married to a much younger man—but I find it fascinating that when I was writing The Beauty Myth, older women were considered done reproductively or sexually, and now that’s no longer the case.
In this segment, Naomi Wolf discusses her book 'The Beauty Myth,' reflecting on how societal attitudes toward older women have evolved since its publication.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson references George Orwell's book '1984' to discuss the idea that hedonistic desires cannot form a common will, as they will inevitably conflict.
George Orwell has this preface, I believe it was for 1984; I'm not sure of the exact details now—it was around the time of World War II—and it was kind of considered heretical because its argument was that we think about tyranny in these melodramatic terms
Dr. Peterson discusses George Orwell's book, 1984, referring to its preface as a significant example concerning tyranny. He elaborates on the notion that despotism is not merely about violent control, but involves a deeper psychological manipulation.
The issue, however, is there's often an unholy blend of 1984 and Brave New World underlying the specifics of their invitation.

Dr. Peterson discusses the philosophical contributions of Adam Smith in the context of economic principles, suggesting a connection to his well-known work, 'The Wealth of Nations.'
I think the partial answer to what you're asking might be to think along the lines of Adam Smith, who saw two different spheres, and in 'The Wealth of Nations,' he talked about the invisible hand which governs the market, but then he also talked about the theory of moral sentiments, which was the realms where the market didn't go.
In this discussion, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson references Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' while exploring the concepts of market dynamics and moral sentiments, highlighting Smith's views on the invisible hand that governs the market.
I mean, which to your point, I think is that if you look at his theory of capitalism in The Wealth of Nations, if you look at his theory of moral sentiments, which I think he actually wrote beforehand, you can see that it's embedded in a particular social context, which is frankly very biblically informed.
Sen. Hawley references Adam Smith's 'The Wealth of Nations' to emphasize that Smith's theories of capitalism are rooted in a specific social context, which he argues is significantly influenced by biblical teachings. This point supports his overall argument regarding the ethics of the free market.

He references the book to illustrate Hegel's concept of spirit as a social phenomenon, contrasting it with the traditional spiritual interpretation. This mention occurs during a conversation with Dr. Jordan Peterson on the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, episode 'You are the Target'.
So these sects that you're referring to in the Middle Ages of kind of bizarre Christianity were actually Gnostic heresies that were developing, and I think that by means of Hegel coming down through Marx, who inverted it, I believe we actually are looking at a Gnostic heresy hidden inside of economics, social — in fact, if we read 'Phenomenology of Spirit' from Hegel, 1807, a publication, you get distinctly the sense that what he means by spirit is what he says he means by spirit.

This discussion takes place during an episode of Dr. Jordan Peterson's podcast.

The Great Narrative

I mean, which to your point, I think is that if you look at his theory of capitalism in The Wealth of Nations, if you look at his theory of moral sentiments, which I think he actually wrote beforehand, you can see that it's embedded in a particular social context, which is frankly very biblically informed.
