I watched the second two "debates" between Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. It was good, but they did not arrive at agreement by the end.

It would be great to have the "Scientific Theory of Morality" that I believe Harris is seeking. But that does not currently exist. We are stuck in the middle. Ambiguous religious stories and no clear scientific theory. We must make do.

My position is the same as before. Peterson prefers the moral systems of religion, even if the stories contain falsehoods, due to the deep truths of the moral claims within. Harris abandons them because of the falsehoods.
