Question to ask Jordan Peterson

[Wizardking]

I just managed to get a front row seat for one of Jordan Petersons talks and I want to come up with a good question to ask him. Any suggestions? 
Maybe something relating to spirituality as he is a bit religious but I'm not sure what he's already answered.

"Why so serious?"

Ask him "why did I want to come up with a good question? Is it Approval/validation seeking or something else?"

If he had to vote for Biden vs Trump, who would he vote for?

@Leo Gura   hope everything is fine take care.

Ask him if he is interested enough in pursuing the true nature of reality so much that he'd give his life for it. If he asks you what you mean by truth tell him, the very purpose of his existence, why his life seemingly in his experience popped out of no where. If he says all humans do it and none have the answers yet, ask him how does he know that? Ask him does he think he has investigated this with his whole being, or does something stop him. Ask him if he thinks he is open-minded enough to study enough of human civilizations that have asked those questions and has he thoroughly listened to see if there was an over-arching theme there.

Ask him - “why are you so miserable?”

"Is it possible to be enlightened like Buddha or Jesus, what does it entail, and have you met any of these people?"

I like this

[Leo Gura]

He doesn't know what enlightenment is.

You think a fruity psychology professor who has done psychedelics, has personally had sober mystical experiences, talks about the power of the mystical experience, and has studied different world religions, doesn't know about enlightenment? I think that is just cynical.

@Carl-Richard I know he's had some mystical experiences. But that's not the same as really understanding Awakening. He's lost in a bunch of human mythology.

Let's see what he answers.

[Leo Gura]

I doubt he would really understand that question.

[AerisVahnEphelia]

He might be enlightened to some extent. You just expect enlightenment to always bring you candy and rainbows, when it's not a given.

He might get it, but those mythologies feed what he likes to see in the world and the character he has built.

There's nothing wrong with loving the character.

It's quite possible that he just enjoys the current state of things or past ways, so the old myths that are feeding him now... that show must keep going.

I was under the impression that enlightenment and Awakening are two different things. I recall you saying you've moved away from teaching enlightenment and ragged on every Buddhist rat for pushing it since.

That’s sounds like human metrology

Yes, but my point is that he doesn't even understand classicial Buddhist enlightenment.

Hmmm I'd be curious to hear his answers to the following:

1) What he thinks of IFS therapy?

2) What that mouth do?
