Sam Harris Roasts Jordan Peterson's God with a Cookbook Analogy

An animated Sam Harris compares Jordan Peterson's religious metaphors to a cookbook analogy. Jordan B Peterson, a fan of Karl Jung, loves finding meaning, patterns, and archetypes in religious stories. Sam Harris (of the Waking up Podcast) demonstrates the insanity of this kind of thinking when religions are taken literally as they so often are by finding deep spiritual meaning in a cookbook recipe.

Did anyone get the Southpark reference?

Cookbook *DESTROYS* Jordan Peterson with *SPICES* and *FLAVOR*

“Facts don’t care about your feelings”

The problem is how religious people see the mystification of cookbooks as rightly absurd, and will agree, just like Peterson did and Shapiro would and Prager would, but will red herring and special plead their way out of confessing the same of their own faith.

That one literature teacher who always took things way too far

This is all BS because it is meant to be BS...🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

It's all in the metaphysical metaphoric substrate.

I enjoy JP, but I’ve largely outgrown him. He’s a good psychologist, not a philosopher.

[quantumrobin]

I wonder what Peterson makes in book sales and speaking engagements, compared to his salary when he used to voice Kermit.

[BelRigh]

Omg!!! That was perhaps the best JP takedown EVER

[HolyKoolaid]

What's up skeptics, this one took me a while to make. I've been busy organizing the Faithless Forum (which was a huge success). Thank you for your patience. What would you like me to cover next: Abortion or another Psychic video? Or other (comment below)?

This is why psychology is considered a soft science, the person can project so much into something as complex as a human being, but in the end, isn’t that a good thing? It’s nice knowing we are so complicated we have trouble understanding ourselves.

Mmm... Wok-Seared Fish and Shrimp Cakes - Tastes like religion.

I love your content Thomas!! Great job!!

[theangryholmesian]

Got an ad for PureFlix before this...oh dear.

[Petri]

I just started to like Sam Harris again :D

[davidmckee]

Now that was both funny and informative! Thomas, your videos just keep getting better!

[aceee]

I love these animations. Great Job Man

I have always adored the nuanced humour Sam Harris unleashes when demolishing opponents.

I think we need a Harris scale measurement, with Monty Python on one end, and subtle hand gestures and raspberry blowing on the other.

I will never look at my omelettes the same way again.

Especially when I break eggs to make them.

Ooooo...heavy, man!
