You know, I was definitely entering new territory, much deeper analysis of many more biblical stories, and so there's a fair bit of investigation on my end there, and that tilts it more towards the academic direction, but I think that like 12 Rules or Beyond Order, the book is extremely practical. Like if you understand the things that are in We Who Wrestle With God, it'll change your life.

And I don't say that lightly. And I also say it knowing it's true, because hundreds and hundreds of students at Harvard and the University of Toronto told me year after year for 20 years, informally and formally in the course evaluations, that the Maps of Meaning course changed their entire life. It changed the way they looked at everything.

And then I also know from the tours and the thousands of people that I've spoken to, or even tens of thousands of people that the 12 rules for life and be on order have had the same effect. And like, I think this is a well, this is a deeper book in that it unites, as I said, it unites modern science with the deepest of our theological traditions.

If that's true, like that's a preposterous claim, right? It's really, it's a preposterous claim. But I also think, Ben, like I think we are on the cusp of something truly new because I think the enlightenment has come to an end. I think in my wilder moments that that was signified in some ways by my discussion with Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett.

And the reason that those discussions happened and the reason that they attracted a certain amount of attention was because there is something new under the sun. And it is that what's new is our understanding now, our emergent understanding that there's no escaping from the story.

Truth. Well, first of all, there is now a hard science of symbolism. The large language models have mapped out the symbolic world. And what they have mapped out is the probability that ideas will co-occur. And what a symbol is, is like a central symbol would be the center point of a network of statistically associated ideas. And then I would say every perception is a network of that sort.

So when you perceive an object, you perceive the object in relationship to its embodiment or incarnation of the ideal. So every object is platonic. It's a platonic idea, but it actually seems to be literally the case. This is actually how you perceive. You perceive every pillow, or there's a pillow in this room that I'm looking at. You perceive every pillow.
