"We have a bedrock of agreement. And that's the Bible, by the way. And it isn't that the Bible is true; it's that the Bible is the precondition for the manifestation of truth, which makes it way more true than just true. In many ways, the first book was the Bible. I mean literally." ~ Peterson talking to Joe Rogan

Peterson has seemingly all but stopped debating intellectuals in public, like he once used to, having ended up a bit mangled and bruised on too many an occasion, and now he crops up frequently on a chat show with the onetime host of Fear Factor and mixed martial arts commentator Joe Rogan who, nowadays, seems content to sit at Peterson's feet and lap his mumbo jumbo up.

If he wants to pass himself off as a public intellectual, he perhaps should stick to his field of expertise: clinical psychology.

Sorry, but the Bible is not a pre-condition of an agreement. This clever sounding verbiage is what Woody Allen used to call "mental masturbation" 😏
