[01:30] Intro
[02:40] Everyone gives their answer to “What is meaning?”
[03:30] “We're using meaning as a metaphor... something similar to the way a sentence works. It has intelligibility to it that connects us to the world... so that we can interact and be informed by it” Jon Vervaeke
[07:22] “Our mental framing is transparent like a pair of glasses, but there are times we need to step back and, by taking the glasses off and examining them, consider our framing structure" JV
[09:10] “When you look at the world there is a central point of focus. When you focus on the point with your eyes it becomes very clear... until we no longer perceive anything by the edge of our vision. It's nothingness, it's just not there" Jordan Peterson
[13:56] Bishop Barron's view on meaning and religion
[14:23] “I would say that meaning is to be in a purposeful relationship to a value" Bishop Robert Barron
[17:55] “So I'm talking to you, which I believe is a good, but it's nested in a higher good and a still higher good, so finally I want not just this particular good but good itself-that's a religious relationship" BRB
[18:20] Pageau’s opening thoughts on meaning and religion
[19:56] “The reason we perceive hierarchy is because we are always judging... or trying to evaluate whether something’s good" Pageau
[20:31] Jordan’s brief foray into “mini-celebrations”
[21:53] The idea of revelation
[24:46] “It isn't obvious to me that we see objects-we see patterns" JP
[27:40] “Like a Rolling Stone-it wasn't the first song I liked, but it was the first that rocked my world and rearranged my mind, and I think that's where real value is" BRB
[28:42] Underlying causes of the crisis of meaning
[30:10] “Something that starts with Scotus... and goes into the heart of the scientific revolution is that there’s no such thing as levels-reality just is" JV
[31:00] Science around the hierarchy of intelligibility and connectedness
[33:00] What is science?
[39:00] “There’s an epistemic hierarchy and science does not belong on the top" BRB
[42:00] “As scientists, we are motivated by a narrative we don't understand scientifically… The whole enterprise is driven by a dream whose reality can't be encapsulated within the process itself" JP
[44:00] The ignorance in assuming science OR religion are correct
[44:40] Eminationist ontologies
[55:30] Religious experiences
[01:07:30] The book of Revelations as a psychedelic experience.
[01:17:30] The Psychedelic problem and why psychedelics are useful in communal experiences.
[01:26:00] Jordan’s biblical lectures
[01:32:00] What are the guests working on?
[01:36:00] Beauty in churches
[01:38:00] Growing up Christian
[01:44:00] Possibility is real
[01:50:00] Joining religion and science
[01:58:04] Wrapping up

It's a Robert Jastrow quote. One of my favorites: For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.

I was raised in an orthodox home, but since my teens to my 30s I was a convinced atheist. Jordan Peterson through his biblical lectures helped me understand christianity in a way that no one else could. They were the bridge between science and theology that I needed in order to actually begin understanding faith and the deep and meaningful connection between humans and God. Of course, they weren't the only thing that brought me back to faith, but they were one of the key elements that transformed my understanding and my belief system. I am now a practicing orthodox christian and I can only express my gratitude for that to doctor Peterson. God bless you and your whole family!

I also do not consider myself an atheist anymore. That isn't because there is a God or anything of that description, but people use mind tricks and self deceptions to find all kinds of meaning and happiness. Even though they are mere tricks, they need to be felt as real in order to have the desired effect and that displays itself through actions all across the world with real impact. So there isn't anything supernatural but people acting in that way is pretty much the same as real and I think the only way to experience the reality I am experiencing, is through the interconnectedness between people. So no God but still not atheist.

Nah dude. You can have too much of a good thing. Maybe once every month or two. People make the same mistake with psychedelics when they experience them for the first time. "That was awesome! Let's do it again real soon!" When you touch the depths of meaning, going back to the same well too often cheapens it, makes it less special and remarkable. These great minds need to go away and let this stuff percolate awhile and come back with renewed energy and perspective. Maybe some one-on-ones between them to unpack stuff might be helpful, but if they come back and do this again too soon, you'll likely find them rehashing the same points until they are beating a dead horse. The value in such deep insights and discussions is that they are rare and therefore precious and sacred. Speaking for myself, I have enough to digest and unpack to last me for a good few months. Maybe wait a week and watch it again and see if you pick up something new. I understand your enthusiasm (can hardly wait for the next one myself), but it's a trap I've fallen into before, and my instinct here is to want to protect this most valuable source of profundity.

For years I suffered from horrible anxiety on a daily basis to the point where I was having panic attacks at work breaking out in sweats at my desk. I was questioning the point and purpose of my life. My psychologist said I needed to ground myself in something. This didn’t make sense to me as how could I find solid ground in the words of another man or woman. Then I came to find God first through the writings of Aquinas Augustine and other church fathers. Then through the videos of people like bishop Barron which led me to the letters of Paul then the Gospels. And finally I figured out what the psychologist meant. Even though I don’t think he expected me to ground myself in God as he wasn’t religious. My anxiety attacks stopped and my depression and despair greatly improved. I’m sure some atheists would argue I am weak and taking the opiate of the masses. But maybe there’s something to be said about the power of turning toward a higher power. And this is coming from someone who turned toward Dawkins and hitchens and Harris before turning to God so I know most the arguments against religion. Ultimately for me it came down to believing that if there truly is ultimate meaning it is found in love. And then reading the Bible it’s right there, God is love, infinite unconditional self sacrificial love. Well it all made sense. I’m thankful for people like Bishop Barron and now Jordan Peterson who helped me and I know are helping many others in their journey through life. Thank you and God bless.

how is god love if he is letting all of these bad things happen? I wouldn't say you're "weak", but I do think you're escaping. I definitely believe that there's some higher purpose/meaning than the four horsemen of arrogance; their arguments essentially amount to "I'm very smart, so if even I can't conceptually prove the existence of objective morality then it must not exist". It's very much akin to someone 5000 years ago saying bacteria must not exist because I can't see it and you have no way to show me they exist. It's the arrogance of belief in our rationality and intelligence and that nothing must be beyond its bounds.

@@user-nj9ru4ef2w if there is life after death then the bad things that we see happen really are of no significance if we are destined for eternal glory. God allows bad to happen sometimes so a greater good can come about. I wouldn’t call it escaping. I’d call it being aware that either there is no meaning at all or there is ultimate meaning. And I choose to have faith that there is a loving God based on the evidence. It can’t be proved either way but it’s like Pascal’s wager, believing could mean infinite glory and if I’m wrong well I’m in the same place as the non believers at the end anyways. But there have been many intelligent people who have believed throughout the ages and I don’t think they are escaping. I think they just see evidence for God and choose to have faith.

@@johnbrion4565 the idea that you need bad to exist for some greater good is silly if god is all powerful. God could have created it so that the concept of bad doesn't exist at all. You're escaping not because you choose to believe in meaning; like I said, I do too. But you've chosen to escape to an answer that is obviously logically false. Like meaning is hard, searching for it is an arduous task that may cause huge amounts of depression and despair; I have suffered through that and am still suffering through it. But because it is literally the only thing that matters, I will continue to suffer through it til the end of my life and I'm not going to reach a false conclusion just to stop suffering.

When Bishop Barron said Aquinas called God “IPSUM ESSE”: “to be itself” I was absolutely floored. I think viewers would get more value from the podcast videos if it were always multicam view. I would have loved to see the looks on Jordan’s, John’s, and Jonathan’s faces when he dropped that line, but the video cut to the solo shot of Bishop Barron. There have been so many staggeringly meaningful moments on this podcast, it would be great to have those reaction shots. It is a rare moment in podcasts where the entire screen needs to be utilized for one party during a conversation.

The notion of God being Being itself is a very ancient Christian belief that existed long before Aquinas. It's a basic tenant of Orthodox theology that Jonathan has talked about many times, so I don't think he would have been that surprised (though I'm sure he was happy to hear it mentioned!). For modern people in the West it might seem like a new idea, but it's a fairly common belief in Eastern Christianity.

Bishop Baron mentioned that Jordan pulls a lot of people back to the bible, back to christianity. That happened to me. It took me some time, but I'm proud to say that after years of fighting against the wisdom in the bible, I've found my way cautiously back to the catholic church. That would not have happened this way without Jordans lectures. And to my delight I must say, our community and pastor are amazing. I still have ways to go to heal myself, but I'm certain I'll find healing in church. So thank you Jordan! Thank you very much!

It can be demonstrated that living life according to certain principles leads to a certain result, however it can't, currently, be proven that it does. And if we're being nit picky about semantics, you meant to say 'accept' in your first comment, not 'except'.

@candyholyoak

Loved this conversation, as with all of yours, Dr. Peterson. I can be one more example of someone who has had a transformative and transcendent experience through prayer and meditation without drugs. I have never taken any drugs or alcohol in my life, except what has ever been prescribed by doctors. When I was pregnant with my second child, I had suffered from depression and anxiety for the six prior years. I did as much inner work as I could to try and rid myself of this torment. I journaled, I found tapping/EFT. One of the last things I learned was meditation. Although I was a novice in it, there was one day when I prayed and meditated very intently when I felt myself slipping into the depression ‘hole’ again. The only way I can describe what unfolded in my mind during this meditative prayer was a vision - it was like a movie on a screen that gave me different perspective of my experience. The content of the vision was something I have never conceived of before. I have no idea where the concepts came from, but the meaning was definitely rational, and gave me an entirely new perspective (I won’t go into details here). In the vision I was told that my depression was healed and the only way I would fall into depression from that point on is if I chose to. Well my second son that I was pregnant with at the time is now 13 years old and I can say that the experience has held true. I have never experienced depression once since that moment. It just completely vanished. And it hasn’t been until hearing some of your and other’s podcast more recently that describe the use of psychedelics to attain similar experiences, that I realized that maybe what happened to me was like what happens to those who undergo a psychedelic experience. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience of a life-transforming experience without the use of drugs, only prayer/meditation. Thank you for sharing your work and thoughts and introducing me to such amazing guests as well. You all have changed my life!

Greetings, Your description of your anxiety and your transformative experience was exciting to me. I have had anxiety with intensity for years. I could not take tranquilizers in a while because I have been getting treatment for pain.. Despite all this, I had something spiritual that happened about a couple of years back. It caused me a real shift in how to view anxiety.. That perhaps some of the anxiety was actually something else that might be helpful to me.. It is hard to share here, and I am still meditating on it. I do think that it is more now than a "hyped state of intensity". I think it has spiritual meaning, value... I still need to continue to understand, and meditate on this.. I hope you work out the meaning it has for you, and I wish you the best with yours too. (Smile) Take care. 🖖⚘🌿

I can relate to this experience somewhat. I reached a point of spiritual urgency and sense of need such that I reached out to God (as a Christian in an Evangelical context) with every fiber of my mind and being with the crux of my question (having to do with God in His nature as Love). The response was a stunning instantaneous insight that was outside any concept I had ever encountered before. It rocked my world. It led eventually to my entering the Orthodox Church where I had discovered this concept in an essay entitled “The River of Fire” by Alexandre Kalomiros, and further based in insights like those of St. Isaac the Syrian. I think this may be an instance of the synergy of the “emergent” (my need) meeting “emanation” (insight from above) in John V’s terms that is where transformation occurs.

Science can only describe material existence and thus misses the greater truth.

@@dannymaciejewski It's a classical story where these men live in a cave for all of their life having never seen the outside world and believe the cave is the world. Eventually one of the men leaves the cave and discovers there is a whole world outside of the cave. So in the case of the lecture I assume it's inferring that the sciences understanding of our world (Earth and outer space) is still vastly limited.

Great to see these four deep thinkers, all with very different training, histories and perspectives engaged in dialogos. And imagine my surprise and pleasure when Bishop Barron brought Bernard Lonergan into the conversation. I had the good fortune to study Lonergan's "Insight" at Lonergan University College in Montreal in the winter of 1983. It answered so many questions that I had at the time, and changed my life. These four thinkers are now helping answer a new set of questions. We should all be grateful for their tenacity and courage in doing so.

@@chaplainstudent5689 the problem with the definition of truth is it has a couple different opinions: the quality or state of being true, what you might be talking about and a fact or belief that is accepted as true, which can be used by philosophy, religion, feelings, and prejudice. I think Oxford sums up scientific truth best. Scientific Truth is based on facts. Verified, reproducible facts are the bedrock of scientific truth. Each element of a theory corresponds to some part of nature and, in this sense, scientific theories describe nature. In a sense when science seeks truth it's really seeking verifier facts which is a higher standard compared to the common use of "truth".

It’s become the sole arbiter of truth in western societies. Still, I’m of the opinion that empiricism may be humanities most important invention. Or very close to it. What’s disturbing is how easily people accept philosophically, the materialist view of nature. It’s everywhere, the first thing you encounter in almost any discussion about meaning, purpose, or truth is the following: if you cannot prove your argument scientifically- it’s irrelevant. Without a thought, many in our society bow before the scientific method as the adjudicator of truth. There’s an old fashioned word for that- idolatry. Whether or not God exists, isn’t the point here.

Very interesting conversation, and I appreciate their bringing Bishop Barron on to challenge the symbolistic narratives. As a former consumer of psychedelics, I really feel for the bishop struggling to deal with this modern obsession with turning mundane neurological noise into an encounter with God. Not only is there no good evidence that psychedelic experiences are anything other than a temporary neurological handicap, but I think the very impulse to find divinity in them speaks (in harsh and disappointed tone) to our near-complete loss of supernatural language. We struggle to even conceive of the divine, the mystic, or the supernatural, in terms other than the materialistic, the reductionistic, the psychobabble. At best, we reduce it to a sublime psychological state characterized by elevated recognition of meaningful-but not supernatural-patterns. That may be satisfying to some people, but it leaves us in the same darkness, hurtling through the cosmos, as any other scientistic/naturalistic worldview. Frankly, the best antidote to this kind of medicalizing of God is to go study some miracle accounts. Whatever God is, he's certainly not a psychedelic experience, since there are well-documented people who could not walk, who could not see, or who would not even be alive, if God was just a psychedelic experience.

A terrific conversation. One must first acknowledge Jordan's remarkable ability to moderate high level conversations. One almost assumes that, given the differences in their backgrounds and approaches towards truth/meaning, things might get daunting or tedious at some point. But they've been far illuminating and enjoyable than one could imagine. And Jordan meanders through it all with such effortlessness. It's a gift, Jordan, a charming gift. As I write this, my mind conjures Rapheal's fresco - The School of Athens. This seems like its modern incarnation, of brilliant minds taking on some of the hard themes of life - and simplifying them. We don't know how all of these would eventually play out, or the extent of the impact. The four of you - as in the other horsemen of atheism, are yinging-and-yanging, choasing-and-ordering, in ways that ennoble our human experience and our understanding of reality and Being. For me, without necessarily comparing, the horsemen of meaning take the cake for coming to the discussion table with such grace, humility, fidelity to truth and love! Thank you, gentlemen.

@@BrotherLaymanPaul As someone who had done meditation, ritual and visionary work entirely apart from any drug use for years (not even casual). I can say that having started spaced out experimentation over past 4 years has shown me directly psychedelics can improve, support, but not replace "intentional mysticism" that is bootstrapped through cognition & internal effort. Inotherwords strictly speaking I dont think its necessary for a religious person to use psychedelics if they use the tried & true methods of mysticism of whatever trad which has self-supporting mechanisms. (A core text, initiations, cyclical practices, a community of practictioners, realizers of the results of the practice) But they may benefit, or may not - its really too variable. Whereas those who use psychedelics or any drugs I CERTAINLY suggest they take up the basics of meditation such as rythymic breathing, thought watching, body awareness, mantra/chanting.
