A case in favor of Jordan Peterson against Sam Harris' tarot strawman argument

During the Harris/Murray/Peterson debate in Dublin in 2018, Harris used astrology and tarot as strawman arguments against superstitious systems of interpretation of reality.

There's a case to be made against that strawman. That case was made by Sallie Nichols on her 1980 book titled Jung and Tarot: An Archetypal Journey

Sallie Nichols taught Symbolism of the Tarot for trainees at the C.G . Jung Institute, Los Angeles, and lectured frequently on this subject under Jungian auspices in San Francisco, San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles. In a series of seminars entitled A Tarot Trip into Jung's Psychology presented at the Theosophical Center in Hollywood and elsewhere, she successfully introduced both the Tarot and Jung's concept of the archetypes to audiences relatively unfamiliar with either subject. A longtime student of Jung's psychology, Sallie Nichols had the good fortune to study at the C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich, while Jung was still alive and active.

There's a great review on the book on the article Carl Jung: Tarot Cards Provide Doorways to the Unconscious, and Maybe a Way to Predict the Future written by Josh Jones.

This post was made as a proof of concept for Dr. Jordan B. Peterson to consider Steemit as an alternative platform to Patreon, which has been having some issues with Free Speech. In case the post generates a significant revenue, it becomes evident that blockchain based content production is the smart move against censorship today.

If you like Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's ideas, if you care about Free Speech, or you believe in blockchain as an economical tool for cultural production, please upvote this post.
