Boy, that thread has really erupted over there. You can practically sense the relief over all the pent-up narcissism finding an outlet at last: "Look at me! I'm reasonable! Oh, and let me indulge in my fantasies about getting to appoint Mitt Romney as Secretary of State! Wheeee!"

A very interesting development. I take it to mean that for whatever reason, the party threatening with donations is no longer relevant, and so now he can proceed to act on matter of principle. Yes: it's strange. I mean, I wasn't under the impression that the donor was going to suddenly be okay with...

What do you know? Just like that, Dr. Peterson is back to posting political material . Some interesting tidbits: And (much more importantly) I had been told at second hand of a potentially significant donor to the Interpreter Foundation who had vowed that, because of my political views, he would not...

I see that Dr. Peterson has posted a response to this thread . I was amused during the break in today’s Interpreter Foundation “Temple on Mount Zion” conference — a break that I mostly employed to read through a lengthy new blog entry from Drs. Royal Skousen and Stanford Carmack for imminent posting...

Doctor, you may have overlooked this update. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeterson/2020/10/quantum-physics-and-early-death.html Note: For at least a while, based upon discussion with folks at Patheos, I’ll be experimenting with a new approach to my blogging: Fewer posts, but longer.

Hmm. Dr. Gee doesn't mention those pesky details. Instead, he argues that "David's involvement in pornography marks a turning point in his life" and that "the Bible depicts him as spending the rest of his life dealing with the consequences of his actions." Dr. Gee then lists these consequences: 1. ...

Word on the street is that DCP is a family friend of the Smoots and that he has genuine avuncular concern for Young Smoot. Interesting, Reverend--I'm sure you're right. And interesting choice of word there: "concern" and "affection," of course, are not the same thing, exactly. I can't help but thin...

I should add that I hope that Dr. Peterson, his wife, and everyone they were in contact with goes and gets tested for COVID. I think that everyone understands at this point that there are reasons why people will go against the official recommendations: e.g., the George Floyd protests. But the ethica...

It occurs to me that Dr. Peterson is in a bit of a pickle. On the one hand, he wants to reinforce the advice of public health professionals vis-a-vis the COVID pandemic.
