"PhD" made my sentence flow better. I haven't read a page of Peterson but he's no dumbass, by any stretch. Anyone who can hold a conversation with Paglia for ten minutes isn't by definition. I'm not a credentialist.

I haven't read this book. I'm exclusively interested in his interpretation of Tiantai, barring his obvious Western indulgences. Whether he uses these traditions as a vehicle for his own idiosyncratic interpretations or not makes no difference to me: his understanding of Buddhism is true to life, in my experience. Until you can demonstrate that his interpretation of pic rel is nonsensical, let's agree to disagree. And I apologize for insulting you.

Academics, scholars, and philosophers who never get mentioned on here. I'll begin.
