![]() ![]() ![]() Peterson takes a couple of lazy swipes at his critics on the left, but his heart isn’t in it. ![]() Just about the only sort of book Beyond Order never manages to be is the type the internet promised me – a scandalous one. At its best, when Peterson works in his Oliver Sacks mode, recalling lessons gleaned from treating real people with real problems in his clinical practice, it zips right along. His army of pasty nerd-men is ready to leap to their feet at any moment shouting, “I’m Peterson!’ and “No, I’m Peterson!” Then you get to page 12 and hit this sentence: “The most phylogenetically ancient multicellular organisms … tend to be composed of relatively undifferentiated sensorimotor cells.”īeyond Order is something between a textbook, a self-help book, a memoir, a self-help memoir, “The Golden Bough for Dummies,” a Coles Notes to the King James Bible and Harry Potter fan fiction.Īt its worst, it is a slog and I unashamedly admit to skipping most of the part about Mesopotamian mythology, may the sea goddess Tiamat forgive me. The mention of his name makes publishing assistants tremble and weep. To hear tell of it, Peterson trails controversy like tin cans trail cartoon newlyweds. I began in the hope of being scandalized. ![]()

The only thing new under the sun is the size and speed of the deposit flight. Banks loaded up on (good!) assets in a low-interest rate environment while flush with deposits, interest rates rose, banks became notionally insolvent or close to it, and deposits fled in a series of classic bank runs. And so many now have a simple question: Why?Īfter some bloviating by institutional actors early in the crisis, consensus is slowly pivoting from an indictment of individual banks’ management teams to recognition of a structural issue: when interest rates rise, asset prices fall. We will likely lose more, potentially many more. We recently lost another previously well-regarded, well-managed, risk-averse bank. It has been an eventful seven weeks since the start of the banking crisis. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is no one Black tradition, but at least three streams: revolutionary/nationalistic, reformist/transformist, and conformist. African American pulpits have brought together all three. While not denying the liberative aspects, McCaulley points out that Black interpretation also includes conversionist and holiness aspects. He explains that most Christians think of Black biblical interpretation in the vein of Black liberation theology, as exemplified by James Cone. McCaulley advocates for what he calls a “Black ecclesial interpretation” of the Bible. As I read it, it stirred quite a lot in my own thinking as a Chinese American Christian (exiled in the UK). This is about something quite different: Esau McCaulley’s Reading While Black. For those who are used to my rantings, it is mainly around (Mainland) Chinese Christian theology or World Christianity. ![]() ![]() ![]() Together, they edited and wrote textbook and educational materials.
