Hi, I’m really curious about your article, but I’m about to start reading the Mistborn saga. Does the post contain any spoilers for the books? And can it be read without having read Mistborn?

Major spoilers for Mistborn era 1 in the "Mistborn" section and from there onwards. You could read it without reading mistborn as I give so much exposition.

Thanks, I’ll come back to your article after I’m done with the books (I hate spoilers 🙃)

You and me both. If you are a fan of Dune you might also need to read those books before you reach the end of the article (only in last section). Lot of homework for one article I apologise 😁

I enjoy reading your perspective on Jordan Peterson’s journey or his struggle between the local and transcendental realm. Noticing some of these patterns you described, I used to ask myself if toying with his dark self is not necessary to wholeness. I wonder how can one be truly a peacemaker without overcoming its own propensity for crime (metaphorically). But part of me, is also is asking if he’s not over the line. Or where does a « good » man put his darkness?

Interesting - I noticed that you said that you admire the idea of a peacemaker. This Peacemaker of Peterson seems to be similar to Kant’s enlightened citizen who belongs to the world and not to a localised community or country. Thoughts?
