"God as law, awe and fortune... LLM analysis reveals that the concept of God is well-defined in semantic space by this three-word combination. It provides a closer match than, for example, Lord, Yahweh and Elohim." That's what Jordan Peterson posted today, referring to research by Victor Swift at https://www.collectivelabs.ai/semantic-core-clarification In this video, I walk through the claims of the paper to see whether they deliver on the promise of clarifying our concept of God. Why would we prefer the LLM to other ways of learning about God, like through the study of theology, mysticism, and philosophy? Is the LLM uniquely insightful? Enjoy!

In this episode, I explain why I use philosophy, politics, and mysticism to make sense of the world. What are they and how do they differ? Why do we need all three? What's the connection? It's the approach I use on this channel and in my online courses at MillermanSchool.com. You'll also see it reflected in my Heidegger book and, to a slightly lesser extent, my Dugin book. What do you think? Is this a good approach? What's yours? Like, share, comment, subscribe!

What's up with the "everyone I don't like is Hitler" phenomenon? It's strange but not incomprehensible. Post-war liberal zealotry (combined with leftist antifascism) coded a lot of things as "far-right" and made them taboo, including some important things that we need in order to understand political and human life well. That's the argument of this video. Brought to you by MillermanSchool.com.
