Peterson & Musk: they who wrestle with God

Listening to Jordan Peterson’s greatly anticipated conversation with Elon Musk this week was like witnessing a younger, less mature man embody an older frame while playing verbal tennis with an elder man supernaturally endowed with younger flesh. But what would Paul of Tarsus say to them both?

The box-office conversation flitting around various chilling realities of our imploding world would have been greatly improved had Peterson been more composed, more reclined and more sensitive to allow Musk to answer his questions. When hosting someone in conversation, (as he did with Nigel Farage a couple of weeks ago), Peterson needs to speak much less than the interviewee and give more extended space for their thoughts rather than constantly interjecting his own in response to what they say. Because of this, while fascinating in parts, it was a near two-hour discussion that was punctuated with awkwardness that at times bordered on the embarrassing.

Could you mistake Jordan or Russell’s proclamations as being of a new god called Resurrection?
