Jordan Peterson has helped me greatly, but I nowadays, I seem to exist in a post-Petersonian mindset. I've learned a huge amount from the great Dr. Peterson, but now when I listen to him, I see him fanning the flames of radical ideologies.
We're approaching a more cult-like mentality day by day.

Though I have a lot of respect for Christianity, it seems apparent in my mind that Judaism has created stronger, more stable structures over time, as well as stronger, more long lasting communities. It heavily prioritizes education and study.
Rabbis have lots of kids, priests do not. In Christianity, the most intelligent, well-studied class of people choose not to have children, whereas in Judaism, they are actively encouraged to do so (in fact, there are many, many career opportunities unable to be attained by rabbis until they are married.
I can imagine that a rabbi will also have a deep and real desire to invest himself in the future if he has children.Why US Politics Are So ExtremeSerene Desiree2022-12-16 | Austen Erickson talks about why there is a culture war in the US, but not necessarily other Western countries.
