Is Satan the Intellect? Jordan Peterson on the Disturbing View of Milton

Jordan Peterson: Why High IQ People Are Often Dangerous (The Serpent Within) Do you rely on your intellect as your greatest strength? In this deep psychological analysis based on Jordan Peterson’s philosophy, we explore the terrifying reason why intelligence is not wisdom, and why the most brilliant minds are often capable of the most systematic evil. The Serpent in the Garden of Eden is not just a symbol of temptation; it is the archetype of the Subtle Intellect—the cunning, articulate faculty that can justify any atrocity. In this video, we decode the etymology of "subtle" and how the evolutionary pressure of predation (snakes) shaped our visual cortex and self-consciousness. We analyze Milton’s Satan as the ultimate intellectual rebel who chooses "sovereignty in chaos" over truth, and how this mirrors the modern danger of ideological possession. You will learn how the "knowledge of good and evil" is actually the knowledge of vulnerability, giving humans the blueprint for torture and malevolence (illustrated by the horrors of Unit 731). Ultimately, this is a call to intellectual humility. Discover why the Logos (truth) is the only antidote to the arrogance of the intellect and why you must integrate your Shadow to become a substantial person. Learn why the "Flaming Sword" guards the path to immortality, demanding that perfection be earned through moral effort, not cleverness.
