Hello,
This week's edition looks at how to accept responsibility for the world's suffering. Congressman Mike Johnson and I discuss the current state of conservative America, the understated importance of inherent value, the trumped-up climate crisis, and the all too real crisis facing much of Europe this coming winter. Also, from the archives, Be the useful person at a funeral.
** The World Is Full of Suffering
------------------------------------------------------------
In the Christian story, Christ does two things that are messianic.
One is: he takes the suffering of the world onto himself because that is a weird idea. Okay, so what does that mean? Let us think about it psychologically. Well, maybe it means that, well, that is your job — is the world is full of suffering, and you should accept that as your responsibility—past, present, and future.
You are supposed to do something about that as much as you can about it, and maybe you start with your own localized suffering, you know. Put yourself together. But then you expand that outward, and you decide that it's you are not a victim of that even though, you know, your part and parcel of it.
But you are the potential solution to that, and so you accept that as a responsibility. So that is part of taking on load, that's part of bearing a cross. You could look at it that way.
The cross is sort of a symbol of the place of maximal suffering. Okay, so you accept that as a challenge, not as a not as something that you're victimized by.

My collaboration with DailyWire+ has allowed me to create exclusive new content.
For my new series Exodus ([link removed]) , I was joined by eight formidable theological, literary and artistic scholars for a comprehensive discussion on the second book of the Bible. The first two of sixteen episodes are out now on DailyWire+.
I traveled to the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. for an in-depth analysis of the world’s most significant book. The result of this trip and the ensuing conversations with the Associate Curator and Chief Cultural Officer and other colleagues is Logos and Literacy ([link removed]) .
Many of you saw my Genesis series ([link removed]) on YouTube; in fact it is my most viewed series of all time. My friend, the artist Jonathan Pageau has recently contributed a brand new introduction to the series which you will only find on DailyWire+.
Finally, I am currently on the Australian tour of my Beyond Order Tour. If you have not gotten a chance to see me in person, you can watch each night on DailyWire+ ([link removed]) .
I hope you will consider becoming a member ([link removed]) and watching the fruits of my newest endeavors.
The 50% off DailyWire+ membership sale ends tonight.

"You need to be aiming for something. That means you're going to be lesser than people who've already attained along that dimension. So, the question is who you should defeat in the final analysis and, the answer is you should defeat your former self."

Be the Useful Person at a Funeral | Jordan B. Peterson
Dr. Peterson:
"It is pretty self-evident that life has got its Rat's Nest of miseries and that is for sure and, maybe you could even make a categorical statement that life is mostly A Rat's Nest of misery. You know you can make a pretty powerful argument for that. Then there is a counter question, which is well what if you tried not to make it any more miserable than it had to be, right? Then what would it be like?."
