Dr. Jordan Peterson

It's not a figment of your imagination.

It's the presupposition of your attention and your action.

And you're either fragmented, in which case you worship multiple gods, or there's some unity at the bottom of it that makes you an unstoppable force.

Not really, no.

How would you define belief?

Something you say?

Don't be so sure.

How much do you know about me?

I didn't lie to save my career.

I didn't lie to save my clinical practice.

I don't think lying would save them.

Yeah, and if you're steeped in sin, you're likely to live in circumstances like that.

I would have done everything I bloody well could, so I wouldn't be in that situation to begin with.

It's a hypothetical, and it's not answerable.

You can't answer hypotheticals?

No, I can't answer a hypothetical like that, because it's far...

If you present me with an intractable moral choice that's stripped of context and you back me into a corner, you're playing game.

I just told you I would do everything that I could to make sure that I'm never in that situation.

By the time you've got there, you've made so many mistakes that there's nothing you can do that isn't a sin.

I think you should just give up on that line of questioning.
