Jordan Peterson has inspired me and helped focus my attention on what is truly important in my life -- truth (or diligently seeking it) does indeed set one free.
After over a decade of seeking truth with ferocity and meeting almost no worthy peer... I can say that this jumbled finality that I have met is not the evidence of being set free, but that one is free always. Thank Mr. Peterson not for his mundane explanations, but merely for being, as any other person is worthy of. Peterson’s meteoric rise to acknowledgment is nothing more than a circle jerk on the tip of an iceberg.
Good luck with that. I embrace evidence based truth. As a result, I have lost all hope for the future of humanity and the Biosphere.
I used to think like that as well... and I am an agnostic “extremist” which means that I except nothing without evidence in every aspect of my life. It does mean I need to live with a great number of things I cannot know to be true or not, however I will always state I do not know and could be wrong.
However as I got older I have become less pessimistic. There is strong evidence to suggest that The biosphere has dealt with worse things than humans in the past.
There is a future for humanity, it will just be different than what we currently want or think we need. It will be both better and worse than what we currently have.. however it will be most likely be better as a whole.
