So, an update on our challenge to the legacy universities: @petersonacademy.
First and most immediate: we are pleased to announce the release of our latest course, the Historical Reliability of the Bible, taught by none other than the great @WesleyLHuff, whose popularity as a podcast guest may (should) have made him familiar to you.
The trailer is super cool. It's well worth a minute of your time.
This course suits our broader purposes extremely well—our determination to showcase and promote what the modern universities have decided to abandon:
the greatness of the West;
the irreplaceable necessity of the free market;
the criminal catastrophe of Marxism;
the inestimable value and beauty of traditionally classic literature and art; and
absolutely unapologetically,
the treasure-house of our Judeo-Christian heritage.
I originally promised to produce a world class liberal arts bachelor's degree equivalent curriculum available to everyone for less than the cost of a single university course.
We're very near to delivering on that promise, with the more than 100 politically-incorrect 8-hour courses we have produced—and in a mere two and half years.
We have gathered the best lecturers in the world. We have produced their courses to a standard reached by no other comparable institution.
Our 60000 students are thrilled with our constantly improving platform and its widening social network.
Join the education revolution.
Project Hail Mary is now on Prime Video, free for Prime members everywhere.
It’s my favorite movie that I've seen in a long time. Truly outstanding and unique. Phil Lord and Chris Miller pulled off something remarkable, Ryan Gosling is amazing, and none of this happens without Andy Weir’s compelling book.
If you missed it in theaters, now's your chance. And, if you already saw it, it's an easy way to rewatch.
Think you'll enjoy.
“The very worst sin that’s ever been committed was the murder of the Son of God. The very best thing that’s ever happened on this planet was the death of the Son of God. And if God can make the worst thing the best thing, He can make your disappointment, even your sin, even your foolishness, work together for good.”

Ben Affleck says you have to abandon everyone around you in order to achieve greatness
"when you see Michael Jordan like what does it mean to be great? and how's like touch everybody? and change everybody"
"to truly be great at something you have to almost abandon everything...I've seen that in various ways like in that kind of just personal study. I haven't seen anybody who I think like qualifies for that who who didn't also seem to be really suffering"
"I find that really fascinating like people who are great at something and the mystery of like what is that like? and what is that do to your life? and how did you get that way?"
Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.
It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx
In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas
