Jordan Peterson's ARC is Looking for Crew Members to Confront the Cabal. A Question of 'How?' Q & A 1
Q1: Responsible Citizenship: How do we facilitate the development of a responsible and educated citizenry?
Recently I became aware, via Frances Leader’s substack ‘Jordan Peterson’s Got an ARC’ that Peterson is stepping into the world more forcefully than he has already forcefully done – at least he is confident that that is what he is doing – by joining forces with like-minded individuals with impressive CV’s who want to more directly confront the cabal’s efforts to establish global tyranny.
I listened to Peterson’s story of the genesis of Jordan’s ARC and decided to jump into that particular sumo ring by taking the time to register with ARC and to answer the six skill-testing questions they put up in their desire to be informed by us, instead of dictating to us their opinions. (Actually their questions are a little beyond the typical ’skill testing’ questions, although less challenging than creating a politically correct joke about what a woke professor would say to the trans drinking in a gay bar.)
I’ll be posting my responses one at a time.
Here are the six questions:
Q1: Vision and Story: Can we find a unifying story that will guide us as we make our way forward?
Q2: Responsible Citizenship: How do we facilitate the development of a responsible and educated citizenry?
Q3: Family and Social Fabric: What is the proper role for the family, the community, and the nation in creating the conditions for prosperity?
Q4: Free Enterprise and Good Governance: How do we govern our corporate, social and political organisations so that we promote free exchange and abundance while protecting ourselves against the ever-present danger of cronyism and corruption?
Q5: Energy and Resources: How do we provide the energy and other resources upon which all economies depend in a manner that is inexpensive, reliable, safe and efficient, including in the developing world?
Q6:Environmental Stewardship: How should we take the responsibility of environmental stewardship seriously?
Here is my suggested answer to Q1.
Q1: Vision and Story: Can we find a unifying story that will guide us as we make our way forward?
A1: Yes.
I am not sure how to proceed after that because your question really demands a simple 'yes/no' answer. Was that deliberate? I wonder. You are all intelligent people, and so I assume that that is what you are looking for. And yet you asked for my opinion in this space, and didn't provide a y/n radio button that have simplified your parsing the responses by removing the rhetoric you may get from people like me who are a bit puzzled, after watching Peterson's announcement, that explicitly stated they were looking for answers. I inferred that a bifurcating question with a yea/nay answer would not be a part of that process.
Furthermore, most likely the people coming here and taking the time to read through this will be predominantly humans like me who will answer 'Yes.' Otherwise we wouldn't be here. So... more puzzlement.
You haven't asked me for what my unifying story might be. I'm not sure that I actually have one.
Perhaps the vision is that this is an expression of the hero's journey, with the dumbling sibling blindly going forward with clear vision looking for the answer that will save the kingdom even without knowing what will be found or if death is going to be the result.
I like that vision because, obviously, if the unifying story that will provide us with the path to success is already known, then being here looking for it wouldn't be happening. Fortunately the cabal's attempted unification – because they too are looking for a (perverted form of) unity – will fail because their motivations and efforts violate human nature and, more significantly, the nature of nature. And, perhaps equally important, despite all their apparent money-collecting cleverness, they have not the wisdom to understand that, at the end of the day, the enemy they are looking to destroy is not really us: it is themselves.
Of course this cabal have provided us with a form of Goliath, the ultimate and ostensibly indomitable enemy required in any good game or hero's journey because we have the real opportunity to test ourselves. Is that the vision?
Or is that vision too much of a past age, and what is required of us today is to stop thinking that throwing stones at an enemy out there is going to save the day? LoL! Would that be no different than the cabal seeing us as the enemy?
Perhaps, then, the vision of our story might be something like that of the dumbling sibling with the good and strong heart that has the courage to find the way though the dark forest and expansive desert whereas intellectual cleverness and physical prowess resulted in corpses. From the Buddhist koan tradition, 'Just this is it' might be the story.
The courage is to be truthful and clear-eyed enough to be able to calmly act appropriately when the time demands that of us. To have the desire in my heart to stand up straight and with clear eyes see the truth of my Self, in all its varied shades of grey, and with that step forward, even with hesitancy, when the situation asks me to do that. Is that a vision?
I am reminded of a result I got from the I Ching many years ago that I kept plastered on my various office walls.
"When we are faced with an obstacle that is to be overcome, weakness and impatience can do nothing. Strong individuals can stand up to their fate, for their inner security enables them to endure to the end. This strength shows itself in uncompromising truthfulness with themselves. It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as they are, without any sort of self deception or illusion, that the light will develop out of events by which the path to success may be recognised." I Ching 5 Hsu p.25 Baynes/Wilhelm (paraphrased).
Uncompromising truthfulness with ourselves as the path by which we will have the courage to face things as they are and recognise how to take action? Is that the vision?
And has that been the primary result, or perhaps directive or encouragement, made manifest by this covidian craziness? For humans to be faced with a challenge big enough to demand our life and death attention to inspire us to begin to see the truth of the Buddhist answer, 'Just this as it is'? Is that the vision?
Amazing times. Thank you for asking questions. And, likely, all you wanted was a yes/no answer.
My last question: Isn't it amazing that we have been given, in our lifetimes, our own unique opportunities to live The Bhagavad-Gita?
The billionaire cabals will not save ‘us’ not this one either.

In your last statement of the article you make good mention of the Bhagavad Gita. As a person who has lived mostly with the teachings of the Gita, it occurs to me that there are many answers to the problems of our times to be found within it. It also seems curious that there are many parallels in the overall story of the Maha Bharta, of which the Gita is a part.
The most beautiful thing about the message is the true answer is always within. Human nature must eventually be transformed by the evolution of consciousness. The world will reflect the spiritual condition, like a glove will reflect the shape of the hand within it.
