Rogan revealed that after 10 days of following a strict carnivore diet, he saw a significant change in his body and also felt good. He said he lost his belly and dropped 7 pounds in the course of 11 days. Rogan revealed that he took inspiration from Jordan Peterson to take up this diet after he was told about the multiple benefits the diet had in Petersons life.

Its an elimination diet. So instead of your diet breaking down a bunch of different things, its just breaking down one thing. And this is one thing that human beings have been eating since the beginning of time. Like, this idea that human beings are herbivores is pretty much nonsense. One of the main reasons why we became what we are, they think, is because we started eating meat, said Rogan on the diet.

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, social commentator, author and professor of psychology, who is known for his somewhat controversial comments on political, social and cultural issues, but who over the course of his career has generated an enviable net worth.

Peterson was born on June 12, 1962, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, his mother was a librarian at Grande Prairie Regional College and his father was also a teacher, so from an early age he used to read authors such as George Orwell, Aldous Huxley and many others.

He attended Fairview High School and graduated in 1979. He then studied at Grande Prairie Regional College and majored in political science and English literature, later moving to the University of Alberta, where he would end up with a degree in political science.

In his need and quest to understand the underlying factors behind some of the thematic events that took place before his time, Peterson traveled to Europe to discover the psychological origins of 20th century European totalitarianism, as well as the Cold War.

Peterson later decided to study psychology and returned to the University of Alberta. In 1984 he earned a B.A. in the subject and then went on to McGill University in Montreal to earn his Ph.D.

In 1993, he began teaching at Harvard University, as an associate professor in the psychology department, where he also conducted much research while in the department, until 1998 when he returned to the University of Toronto to assume his duties as a full-time professor.

As a psychologist, Peterson focuses his interest on the psychology of religious and ideological beliefs. While teaching, he also practices; the professor conducts clinical sessions and offers psychological assistance to individuals as well.

Peterson is the author of the two books, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief from 1999 and 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos in 2018 from 2018. He has also hosted his own podcast called The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast. He created Self Authoring Suite, which is a writing therapy program.

In 2016 Peterson gained notoriety thanks to a series of YouTube videos in which he criticized political correctness, as well as the Canadian government's Bill C-16, which added gender identity as 'compelled speech', making it mandatory to refer to someone who uses specific language.

According to sites like Celebrity Net Worth, Jordan Peterson's net worth is $8 million. Jordan claimed in 2019 that he was earning $80,000 per month from his Patreon account, in addition to $35,000 per share and approximately $200,000 per month from his consulting/clinical practice.

In addition, he receives royalties from his books, which are estimated at five million books sold so far and add to that other earnings coming from his YouTube channel, which has millions of subscribers.

Jordan Peterson net worth: The controversial figure has this much wealth - Marca English

See, thats on the back of the American dollar billthats like the Eye of Horus from the Egyptians, and so the idea here is something like, at the top of the hierarchy is something that is no longer part of the hierarchy.

Jordan Peterson addresses a dark lecture hall, pointing to arcane symbols of divinity on a bright presentation screen. The forces these ancient symbols evoke, he explains, drive both political and personal change: The Egyptians saw that the attentive Eye is what revives a dead society, and so, if you want to find the best place to start untangling the paralyzing morass of your life, then bloody well pay attention!

Is there something specific about our strange era that makes Petersons approach to myth appealing? Consider a similar figure from a similar age, someone not usually associated with the right or traditionalists: Hypatia of Alexandria (ca. A.D. 370-415). Hypatia was a pagan philosopher, most famous today for being murdered in A.D. 415 by a mob of Christian thugs who seemed to have hoped the bishop, St. Cyril of Alexandria, would be happy about it. (Whether or not he was is still debated.)

But before the Enlightenment made her a martyr for Reason, and before a journal of feminist philosophy was named after her (which you may recall from when it published, then retracted, an article that compared transgenderism and transracialism), Hypatia taught philosophy to conservative Christians in the early 5th century.

For most Americans over the age of 30, it is likely confusing to come to the Early Christian era and realize the pagans, and their liberal minded Christian sympathizers, were in fact the cultural conservatives of their time, while monk-frequenting Christian fundamentalists were the utopian radicals spearheading a cultural revolution.

But once we establish that, there is a lot of similarity to contemplate. In Hypatias Egypt, notions of the sacred were being radically altered. Many temples, after millennia standing as reference points of cosmic order, were being desecrated and returned to the bland chaos of profane space. The non-sacred is a region without structure or consistency, amorphous, as Eliade relates in The Sacred and the Profane.

In our times, shared consensus about what is sacred has been blown into fragments. How many people share a religion with their grandparents now? Part of Jordan Petersons appeal lies in the fact that, in an age of uncertainty and spiritual decentralization, he has located an edifying message in traditional stories, stories whose antiquity or stature certifies the content to be timeless and universal.

Facing rising religious fundamentalism in her late Roman world, Hypatia also promoted and inspired literary works that dug deep into tradition. These included a number of philosophical allegories, not least of which was the Osiris-Horus myth cycle itself. Her life offers a lesson for contemporary traditionalists attempting to stare down cancel mobs.

Those who have been following Petersons work may have noticed his take on the Osiris story (and its characteristic symbol, the Eye of Horus) come up rather frequently. But for those who have not: in short, Osiris, the tragically benign divine king of Egypt, falls victim to the tricks of his evil brother Seth.

In Petersons telling, Seth symbolizes the opportunistic careerist. He murders King Osiris, which signifies the tendency of a (static) ruling idea, system of valuation, or particular storyto become increasingly irrelevant with time, hence the kings vulnerability such rent-seeking bureaucrat types. Osiris stands for Order, but he is foolish, an indication of the danger when one forgets or refuses to admit to the existence of the immortal deity of evil. (See Petersons Maps of Meaning.)

There is redemption though. Horus is the son of Osiris and Isis (Isis is Chaos). With his mothers help, and his dead fathers supernatural counsel, Horus defeats Seth, loses his Eye in the process, but then gets it back later. Horus emerges as the ultimate paradigm for the ruler, and for the fully actualized individual, synthesizing the Order and Chaos antithesis, made wiser because of his suffering.

Ancient Greeks, both pagan and Christian, would call what Peterson is doing with this myth allegoria, the practice of pointing out that a story says something else besides its meaning on the surface. As ancient philosophers and writers knew, allegory works best when performed on a story thats really, really old.

Hypatias take on Osiris comes to us from her student, a Libyan named Synesius. She sent him to Constantinople around A.D. 400 to try to meet the Emperor Arcadius, and to make influential friends there who could help out their cause in Alexandria. Synesius turned to the myths and allegories he learned at Hypatias school. He wrote an essay inspired by the story in Plutarchs Isis and Osiris, and presented it to some new learned friends at court.

In his allegory, Synesius portrayed contemporary court intrigues as though they were happening in the days of the ancient pharaohs. Standing in for real Roman Christians on the Bosporus are mythical Egyptian pagans (and lesser gods) on the Nile. In the work, titled On Providence, Synesius uses the story of Osiris and Seth to politely warn his patron at court, an imperial bureaucrat: Osiris was like you, a good leader, a nice guy; but he refused to confront evil, and so Seth destroyed him. So, beware of intrigues!

Unfortunately, Synesiuss patron, a man named Aurelian, was toppled in a coup orchestrated by a Romano-Gothic generalissimo named Ganas. But Synesius still succeeded in using his wit, and Hypatias reputation, to win friends for philosophy.

When it came to philosophy, Hypatia had a great deal of skin in the game. Daughter of one of the last attested members of the Museum, a learned society connected to the famous Library of Alexandria, Hypatia got her start teaching mathematics. But over the years, by leveraging her fathers modest intellectual brand, she built up a renowned philosophical school that became a finishing academy for ambitious young Greek speakers in the eastern Roman Empire. Her students were a cross section of the citys elite at that time: a nice blend of Christians, Pagans, and maybe a few Jews as well.

Hypatia watched as the intricate sacred landscape of Greco-Egyptian cult and mystery, described by Herodotus in his Histories (book two) and Plutarch in his own Isis and Osiris, was gradually profaned and desacralized. The Christian emperors, starting with Constantine (r. 306-337) cut funding for pagan temples and redirected it to Christian churches. Pagan sacrifices were eventually forbidden in the 390s, around the time Hypatia was making her start as an educator.

Like many philosophers of her era, Hypatia stayed loyal to the old gods. But a large portion of her students were Christians. They nonetheless shared with her an interest in plumbing the ancient polytheist lore for deeper meanings and universal values. This was unpopular among more fundamentalist Christians. Like Tertullian a few centuries earlier, Christians were still asking, What hath Athens to do with Jerusalem?

Synesius, despite the polytheistic stories he dealt in, was a Christian. Other of his writings, such as On Dreams, are filled with philosophical allegories. Sometimes he even made fun of overwrought allegories, as in his satirical Praise of Baldness, which only indicates the popularity of the practice in his day. Nevertheless, Synesius and Hypatia seem to have shared a cultural mission. They aimed to produce and sponsor edifying literary works that could be enjoyed by pagans and Christians alike. In Synesiuss works, allusions to Homer, Plato, and classical culture abound, not as antiquarian relics or intellectual fetishes, but as part of an ambitious, living, creative project addressed to the present.

Any moral and theological claims he made could generally sit well with Christian and Pagan alike; God was usually spoken of in the singular. But to some Alexandrian Christians, radical, progressive types who thought Christians should tear down temples and do away with both literary and physical monuments of the past, this was threatening. Other more traditional Christians saw no harm in keeping old statues around, and wanted to keep reading the classics such as Homer and Aristophanes. To them, the Synesius-Hypatia agenda seemed harmless, perhaps even a healthy exercise in consensus-building. If the old religion was dying, its dwelling places filled with goats and haberdashers, at least some of the old stories could be made to seem lively, even sacred in the sense that they were still set apart and endowed with deeper meaning.

Judging by the huge number of medieval Byzantine manuscripts that preserve the pagan classics, forces sympathetic to Hypatia and Synesius ended up carving out a healthy future for an expansive traditionalism in the Eastern Roman Empire. In Byzantium, this traditionalism, or Christian classicism, existed more or less happily alongside the occasional fundamentalist tendency in society. The woke fundamentalists of our day, unfortunately, seem less likely to compromise.

Fundamentalism is a pattern in which human beings cling for salvation to a confined set of simple precepts or documents, ruling out all others as distraction, delusion, and vanity. It is one kind of response to chaos and confusion, an attempt to discern the signal amidst the noise. This is the religious fervor fueling both ancient and modern cancel mobs. It is the opposite of a generous traditionalism, the alternative championed by Hypatia and, many would say today, Jordan Peterson.

Hypatias political influence, and probably also her Christian-supported opposition to fundamentalism, eventually led to her lynching in the streets of Alexandria in 415 by an angry mob. Lets hope there are better fates in store for the controversial traditionalists of our day.

Hypatia's Past and Jordan Peterson's Future - The American Conservative

Conservative Party of Canada leadership frontrunner Pierre Poilievre joined Dr. Jordan Peterson on the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, released Monday, to discuss his candidacy and a number of issues animating the campaign, including housing and inflation, defunding the CBC, and the Freedom Convoy protests that paralyzed Ottawa for several weeks this past winter.

Poilievre reiterated his support for the peaceful protesters among those that gathered at the nations capital, saying that the vaccine mandates targeting the truckers were unscientific and malicious and that this was never about medical science, it was about political science. It was about demonizing a small minority for political gain, and Im proud of the fact that people stood up and fought for their freedoms in that case.

To prevent future impositions on civil liberties, Poilievre pledged to reexamine the Emergencies Act:

Im consulting with legal scholars on how we can curtail the power and limit the use of the Emergencies Act in the future. I want to be very careful though in how I do it because this is an incredibly blunt instrumentin times of war or foreign attack or something like that you can understand why there might be an occasion where these powers might be neededbut I do think we need to craft changes to the Act that will prevent it from being abused for political purposes like this again.

In contrast to the first official CPC leadership debate where candidates were forbidden from speaking Prime Minister Justin Trudeaus name, Poilievre here took the opportunity to forcefully denounce Trudeau, calling him an egomaniac and objectively unpopular.

Trudeau was not the only political figure to draw criticism, as Poilievre also took aim at Steven Guilbeault, the minister of environment and climate change, labelling him bonkers and a total nut. Peterson in turn characterized New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh as stunningly and singularly devoid of ideas, and I havent seen anything come out of the NDP federally that isnt woke nonsense.

Poilievre also expounded on many of the messages that have served to draw substantial crowds to his rallies, including the importance of removing gatekeepers and increasing freedoms, commenting that there is a growing gap between the the have nots and the have yachts.

Summarizing his own motivations for leadership, he contrasted his message as one of hope for Canadians of all classes, especially the workers who are being left behind:

What bothers me most about politics in Canada is that there is a comfortable establishment that sits on top and governs for itself at everyone elses expense, and the people who do the nations workthe plumber, the electrician, the truck driver, the police officerhave almost no share of voice. I want to empower those people and disempower the political establishment. Thats my mission, thats my purpose, and I believe in it. I actually do believe in what I say. I truly believe that the ideas and the political approach that I advance are right. So having that purpose allows me to persevere through all of the nastiness and the exhaustion of political life.

Also in the line of fire was the CBC, which Poilievre again committed to defunding if he were ever to become prime minister. He says he is unworried about the backlash from Canadas mainstream media, who he claims were just as unfair to his Conservative predecessors even though they did not challenge the CBC directly.

Yeah, theyre going to come after me guns blazing, I know that, he said, But they would do that even if I werent taking the principled stand on defunding them.

Appearing on Petersons podcast might be a sign that Poilievre is doing an end-run around traditional media outlets, preferring to bypass the left-wing media, as he described them in the first leadership debate. To date, his media strategy has prioritized non-traditional, direct conversations to reach voters, such as this March 29 video from Tahini Mediterranean Cuisines YouTube channel that featured Poilievre smoking shisha and discussing Bitcoin.

Petersons podcast is a platform with a substantial reach that even outstrips traditional news channels. Petersons YouTube page has nearly five million subscribers and his videos average over half a million views. The Poilievre interview had more than 200,000 views by mid-day on Tuesday.

Peterson, who Tyler Cowen has called one of the worlds leading public intellectuals and who David Brooks described as the most influential public intellectual in the Western world, rose to prominence due to his opposition to the federal Bill C-16, which he resisted on the grounds that it legislated compelled speech.

While Peterson has generally stayed uninvolved in Canadian politics outside of his youthful dalliance with Albertas New Democratic Party, Peterson did interview the Peoples Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier during the last federal campaign.

Speaking with Poilievre, Peterson commended his courage for agreeing to be interviewed:

Ive asked other politicians, including some on the conservative side, and Ive had some agree to speak with me, but generally they seem intimidated by the span of time that stretches out in front of them. Or perhaps, [theyre] not cognizant fully of the power of YouTube dialogue.

Peterson has grown increasingly critical of Trudeaus vaccine mandates and his recent handling of the Freedom Convoy protests, calling him a liar and a narcissist in an interview at the Hoover Institution on May 9. On February 19, Peterson released an original song, Wake Up, that was Dedicated, under the current unfortunate conditions, to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honorable Justin Trudeau.

At the height of the protests on January 31, Peterson took to Instagram to directly appeal to several conservative politicians, naming Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, Ontario Premier Ontario Doug Ford, and then-opposition leader Erin OToole, and urging them to support the movement and remove the vaccine mandates.

What in the world are you waiting for? Its your moment. Youve got a huge number of Canadians occupying Ottawa, expressing their dismay with the suspension of our charter rights in the face of this so-called emergency, Peterson said. Our prime minister has literally abandoned the city, run away, as far as I can tell.

He continued, Youre not going to get a better opportunity. This is your moment, conservatives in Canada.
