>>13455882I've reviewed your video, and I accept that he said that he believed that it is a representation of DNA. That caught me off my guard to hear him say such a thing, so I dug even further. This article covered this issue in more depth so I won't have to go over it in my post, you can just read it there:
https://debunkingdenialism.com/2018/06/25/jordan-peterson-ancient-art-depicts-dna/If you make it to the end of the article, he makes a live retroactive correction on what he thinks about the subject - that he misused stronger words attempting to describe what he meant, and that he is in fact just speculating. He does claim to strongly believe in it, but he has sufficiently clarified for viewers that he does not KNOW these things.
On the subject of his choice of sources by which he derives this believe, such as the Cosmic Serpent or Breaking Open The Head, the question asker, as well as the article's author, are both highly skeptical of this kind of source being credible. Fair enough, it's a bit out there. Things can be very dicey or justifiably dismissible when drugs are involved. I still don't believe it to be a representation of DNA. And as a fun tidbit, although some consider it an urban legend, it has been claimed that Francis Crick was enlightened by the double-helix structure of DNA while utilizing LSD as a cognitive tool:

A drug won't grant you the credibility or skill required to elucidate something you may or not have "discovered" in a psychedelic trip.

>>13455878 is not me.
>>13455922 is confused about who is quoting who or who thinks what. I'm a big JBP fan, questionable snake-DNA beliefs and all. The real issue I can't figure out is why you would think I'm not a JBP fan from my original post
