My first take on this, in a word: provocative. More words: Intentional, enigmatic.

I am not familiar with Jordan Peterson, but this is something that I will fix soon.

I have met Dave Gray, and I'm a fan, but I cannot claim to know him (well, you, Dave) though I'd like to!

Congrats on the new venture. I hope this marks the start of a fulfilling journey.

Jordan Peterson + A catholic symbol of power = Pain and Suffering? (you asked for an immediate reaction)

Jordan Peterson – Is seeking truth painful or joyous? For Peterson, it seems knowing is more important than happiness. I am in no position to judge.

Dave Gray and Jordan Peterson = provocative, inquisitive, unique

Spirituality? Essential. Do I act as if it is?

“know?”

Do I know Dave Gray? We have had great conversations and shared interesting experiences in the past. I have been an admirer of his for years and I enjoy his inquiring mind. There is much I do not know about him, his personal challenges and deeper intentions. This particular provocation has made me, and others reflect, respond, and yield something. This is Dave's calling.

Do I know Jordan Peterson? No. I have listened to his lectures and followed his more recent conversations. I think he is misunderstood by many, not because he fails to explain but because others fail to hear. I find his emotional moments of sincerity on YouTube deeply powerful – often it is compassion, sometimes personal suffering. I feel he has grown recently in humility and gratitude.

Myself? Do I know me? No. I do like some of what I know of me.

I noticed I have a lot of questions? Typical.
