Well, this is what's dangerous, right? And this is what's not just confused, but careless about some of this thinking. When you go, my team thinks this, and I'm just going to double down on it. Even though I've got reasons against this position, I'm still going to be defending the position of my group.

So people like conservative commentators like Ben Shapiro think that eating non-human animals is morally wrong, but they carry on doing it. I think probably because it's part of what their team does. When I spoke to Peterson, he conceded that that problem we spoke about a moment ago, the problem of systemic evil in nature, was a massive problem for the God hypothesis.

And as we said, he thinks you should just crack on and carry on working on it. But there's a sense in which it's okay if your view isn't affecting anybody, right? You can have a false belief and you're entitled to that, that freedom of conscience to think something, as long as it's not bringing about and breaching the harm principle.

But there's a sense in which, like, take Peterson's view, because we spoke about taking that leap of faith. After I had this conversation with him, he tweeted like an hour later. I was arguing that my view is that happiness and pleasure has to correspond to a purposeful life. That if your life is meaningful, it also has to involve a flourishing of happiness and pleasure.

Yeah. Essentially, his view was like that. He tried to pull them apart. And afterwards, he tweeted something like… what use is happiness when we have mountains to move, which is a nice Nietzschean quote, but it's a nice bumper sticker or something or fridge magnet, but I don't think we should live our lives by it. I gave him this example.

I said, suppose God came down to us and said, here's the meaning of life, like create war, spread disease, commit genocide, right? You'd go, that's not the kind of meaning I thought. That's not what I had in mind. I don't want that kind of meaning.

But this idea that only meaning and purpose ultimately matter and they don't need to correspond to happiness and pleasure, that's a recipe for disaster. You can't hold that view and tell people that all that matters is their purpose and meaning.
