Hello sir: I phoned my agents immediately after seeing this and reiterated my desire to make this a priority. My understanding is that we're working out timing and venues. It's a complex thing to arrange publicly with my a priori tour commitments but there are few conversations I more want to have (@elonmusk, arguably; @realDonaldTrump). We'll make it happen. We have a complex problem to address: can the civilization you and I both admire possibly be sustained without the magic of its underlying metaphysic? You believe so. I'm afraid not. I'm not sure, however, what to make of that suspicion, being as leery (perhaps even more) as you about the danger of ill-formed but hypothetically convenient preconceptions. I've seen the effect of delusion first-hand in my clinical practice. Perhaps we are more allied than not. There's much about which we apparently profoundly agree. You obviously don't want what we have to disappear. I also know you're unhappy about the current state of the universities. You can see, as can I, that the scientific enterprise itself is now on shaky grounds--and not because of the Christians (even the fundamentalists). But we've come to apparently opposite conclusions about the religious enterprise (excepting your appreciation for cultural Christianity). So let's sort this out. I don't want to "win." I want to talk. Hopefully we'll both be in good form when we meet. Good day to you.

@jordanbpeterson What a gentleman Jordan Peterson is. That’s how all men once thought they should strive to be. A conversation between him and Richard Dawkins, a famously atheistic scientist who recently referred him himself as a “cultural Christian” would be a conversation not to miss.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson The last conversation they had, Dawkins obliterated Peterson. Not hard to do when you’ve got facts on your side.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson In my experience, cultural Christians are the best kind of Christians. It's the "true believer" of any doctrine, Christian or otherwise, that you have to be wary of.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson Dawkins was on the epstein list bud.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson I’m thinking more that Dawkins is a cuckoo in a Christian nest.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson Cultural Christian just means he wants the cake without doing any of the work.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson He’s a LION! As someone who had the benefit of a stellar education, I want that for everyone who chooses to pursue it, without political ideology driving the curriculum.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson you can be atheist and be a cultural christian, since we all develop within a cultural framework. I dont see a contradiction in there, only aknowledging the existence of a biass.
@PatrickByrne @jordanbpeterson Gentlemen don't say "give 'em hell" to a clear fascist in support of genociding a quarter of 100,000 children. Shame.
