Spengler was as Nietzsche's disciple an atheist, who at the same time found space for souls in his system. I have my doubts, that Spengler would have found enough common ground with Mr. Peterson.
@@armando1829 Some Oswald Spengler quotes: "Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism.” ― Oswald Spengler, The Hour of Decision "Spengler’s politics added up to a violent rejection of liberalism, democracy, and the West, and they contributed vitally to the undermining of the young German republic (Weimar), which was to him nothing but a “business enterprise."
@@throckmortensnivel2850 yeah, might be. I feel like Jordan measures things by their utility rather than «truth», which you could argue for we’ll never get to know anyway. I feel he has been convinced that religion will save the west and so he is very concerned with promoting it, even though parts of it doesn’t fit with science, logic etc.
I've never heard JP mention anything about Oswald Spengler

Speaking of JP, I wish Spengler had more to say on Jung. That would have been interesting!
Quite frankly, given what Oswald Spengler wrote those many years ago, it may have been better to decline the prize.
what are you referring to?

@@throckmortensnivel2850 I see how that would be against some of Jordan’s core beliefs, yeah..
@@armando1829 Honestly, I don't think it is against his core beliefs. I do think it is against the core beliefs he espouses.
