Lecture 01: Present or Absent We Wrestle with God
6/21/20261 hr 46 min
Hi, everybody. I’m pleased to let you know that we’re going to release a lecture a week from my extensive tour archive, beginning this Sunday and then repeating every Sunday after that. This allows me to do something interesting and useful while I’m otherwise incapacitated. My health is such at the moment that I can’t really return to podcasting or public lecturing. But we recorded these with the express intention of preparing them for release, and we’ve all determined that this is a very good time to do that. So that’s what’s going to happen. I hope you find them useful and compelling. They’ll be particularly attractive to those of you who liked my early YouTube work that was very lecture focused. It’s a return to my roots, I suppose, in some ways. And I’m as happy as I can be under the current circumstances, given my ill health, to be participating in this process and to have these lectures prepared for release. Thanks a lot for your continued attention and support. - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

Hi, Diva. It's Rachel. And Jordan. Yeah, hi. Quick question. Why are you not spending your Venmo balance? Yeah, we're concerned. You can, like, buy stuff with it. Ugh, you love buying stuff. And earn cashback on eligible purchases. Mm, you love purchasing eligible things. So the money your friend sent you yesterday, that's today's ramen or rideshare or eye patches. The skincare kind, not the pyro kind.

One crunchy bite of a Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream bar, and I'm taken right back to college move-in day. I was a little overwhelmed by the newness of it all. Boxes were everywhere. I needed a break from unpacking. But just as I was able to take a breath and open my Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream bar, my new roommate, Rachel, walked in. I offered her a piece, but she said no. Then after a beat, she said, "Actually, those are my favorite ones." [chuckles] We laughed. The ice was broken, and we've been friends ever since.
Speaker 21:15
Hershey's, it's your happy place.
