@Nine0288 So, did you receive the private message I sent you?

What does it mean that every glance you take is a moral act—and that the world you see is literally shaped by what you're aiming at when you look? This lecture builds from a deceptively simple observation about perception and intent into one of the oldest and most unsettling ideas in the biblical tradition: that the spirit you bring to your decisions determines what reality reveals to you. Moving through the stories of Jacob's ladder, Elijah's cave, and the still small voice that turns out to be harder to hear than any earthquake or firestorm, Peterson traces the case that conscience, calling, and the instinct to aim upward are not three things but one—and that the God of the Old Testament is less a being to be believed in than a direction to be chosen, one glance, one word, one sacrifice at a time.

This lecture was filmed on December 2nd, 2024 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I just watched @BishopBarron's first Thomas Aquinas lecture for @petersonacademy.

He's one of the best lecturers I've ever heard.

He's engaging and coherent, well-armed with stories, an effective synthesizer, and able to shift up and down levels of analysis with ease ("here's the social impact; here's the theological significance; here's the historical context, etc.).

I've interviewed him, and we have spent time together, and that was all exceedingly worthwhile. But a full lecture requires a different skill set, and not many people have it.

He captured my attention, despite my current difficulty with pain. And I learned a lot.

He's also eminently likeable.

It's a privilege to have the Bishop's lectures on Peterson Academy.

'A veritable moral panic over air conditioning is raging – rather surreally – across the West as high summer temperatures produce the usual flood of exaggerated concerns.

'How in the world did we get here? How did something as personal as home or workplace temperature become an ecological sin requiring both state condemnation and centralised control? How did government intervention this invasive and totalising – leaving virtually nothing outside its purview – become not only the norm, but the declared moral ideal?'

In his latest essay for The Telegraph, @jordanbpeterson looks at climate change catastrophism and how environmental concerns have transformed into partisan dogma ⤵️

What if the self you keep trying to serve isn't actually you at all? In this lecture, the final stop of a 60 city tour, Jordan Peterson begins with an unlikely admission from the world's most famous atheist and follows it into the two shortest, densest paragraphs in the Bible: the story of two brothers and the offerings they make. From there he traces a single thread through the whole architecture of a human life, why the child who insists on his own way ends up with no friends, why a marriage cannot survive on getting what you want, and how a thousand quiet hours of resentment turn an ordinary person into someone capable of the unthinkable. What he uncovers is not a rule about religion but a question your own conscience has been asking you all along, one that decides whether the world opens up in front of you or closes in. The answer has nothing to do with belief in the usual sense, and everything to do with what you're willing to give up.

This lecture was filmed on June 25, 2024, in Mexico City, Mexico.

Nothing in my life compares to my children.

I have had a career overwhelming in its depth, excitement, intrigue, mystery and consequence. I love my wife Tammy deeply—loyal, beautiful, provocative—my friend for more than fifty years. It's a privilege and an honor to be married to her. I can't believe my good fortune in a partner.

But nothing in my life compares to my children.

And they in turn love their children. Julian and his wife Jillian have three. That's an increasingly rare accomplishment. They were bested on that front, however, this week.

My daughter Mikhaila and her husband Jordan welcomed the arrival of their fourth child Francis Jordan Fuller, eight pounds one oz, Tuesday, July 28 at 11:14 PM.

Mother and son are doing well.

Let us take a moment, in consequence, to marvel at women.

Over the last three years, I watched my daughter Mikhaila juggle my affairs and my illness, start and run Peterson Academy with her husband Jordan, launch Afterparty, a new commercial product, while preparing two more (coming soon), and initiate a formal clinical trial of a dietary intervention for autoimmune disorders—all the while, pregnant and with small children.

George is not yet three, Audrey not two, and now, in the midst of all that, Francis. And her pregnancies have not been easy: Mik's health is precarious, in consequence of her auto-immune condition, which manifested itself early in her life and took two of her joints: her left ankle and her right hip. She's managed to put into remission what the staff at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children described as the worst case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis they had even seen. But maintaining that requires constant attention and management.

Mikhaila has an older child, too. Elizabeth Scarlett, now nearing nine. She's an absolute delight, as healthy, well-managed children can God willing be: clowny, happy, clear-headed, playful, beautiful, social, friendly, smart and talented. George, a little clown himself, is thriving and—more miraculously—so is Audrey.

That little girl was hospitalized last year with a rare virally induced cardiac problem. It almost killed her. Mikhaila and my son-in-law JF spent weeks in the hospital with their new baby. Thank God she recovered.

None of that stopped my daughter. In the midst of catastrophe, she determined to bring forth new life: three children in the last three years. An all-consuming enterprise, which she has managed without being all consumed.

I suppose in some ways it's the most commonplace of things, although the deadly low birth rate in the West suggests otherwise. But life is the miraculous in the commonplace: there are some nine billion of us, but every one of us is unique—something that never happened before and never will again. The wise remember that every second of their lives.

And now we have Francis.

Congratulations, to Mikhaila and JF.

Congratulations, Tam, my love.

And to baby Francis Fuller: welcome to the world, terrible and wonderful as it is.

The West is handing over the world's economy to China. To China, for God's sake: an unimaginably brutal totalitarian regime.

And why?
So our hypocritical elite can continue to style themselves as planetary saviors?

Enough demoralizing doom-crying.

Enough despicable praying in public.

Enough subverting our children's future.

Enough pointless impoverishing of Europe and Australia.

Enough bloody Net Zero idiocy.

Enough.

The fact that Coldcard drains are still happening is wild. My dudes. Call or text your Bitcoin friends if you haven't seen them active over the last four days. Doesn't matter if you've never talked OpSec and wallets before.

"Hey my friend, just wanted to make sure you've heard about the Coldcard wallet drain issue."

Worst case: they're on vacation or unable to get to their Coldcard and you can help them.

Best case: you're a dick and rob them, but at least they know who robbed them 😂
