Welcome to season 2, episode 38 of the Jordan B Peterson podcast.

I'm Michaela Peterson, dad's daughter and collaborator, girl who only eats meat and

does extended fasting.

Believe or not, my brother is basically completely normal.

He's probably adopted, or he takes after my mom's side I haven't figured out which.

Today's episode is a 12 rules for life lecture recorded in San Jose on January 22, 2019.

I've named it resolving the science religion problem.

Last week I walked on the beach for the first time with no pain in almost 12 years.

I had my ankle replacement re-replaced last January and that is kind of a hellish surgery.

I was awake during it too because I opted out of general anesthesia.

About a quarter of the way into the surgery I regretted that, but hey, I survived.

Anyway, the surgeon fixed the problem, the problem being a crooked ankle replacement,

installed 10 years prior.

Isn't that crazy?

So after about a half a mile walking in the sand, I literally cried with appreciation.

It was beautiful.

I had overlaying my experience of beaches with sadness and hatred and frustration and that's

gone now.

It's a hell of a lot easier when you're not in pain.

Sometimes the beauty in life is overwhelming.

I just wanted to share that with everybody because it was really overwhelming and it made

my day.
