The idea that the Bible has multiple authors is not something I learned from Jordan Peterson but, rather, Morgue.
Hym “The funniest part about this is watching you turn into a self-serving, self-important narcissist. It’s hilarious. You’ll take the undue credit and claim to be what this is based on but it is based everything I have ever encountered. You are one of many and (In my opinion) the most arrogant and contemptible. You are you and I am Hym. You couldn’t do what I did if you tried and the funniest part is that I was just winging it. So, there are no ‘authors’. I wrote down ideas that I had internalized in addition to ideas of my own. You’re conflating the two. In every instance where the ideas of others are replaced with mine, mine come out on top. By every metric. Whether it’s ratings, revenue, or the standard for creative achievement (subsequent texts being based on the source). This is what competence looks like. Behold. Is I blinding? Can you see? Or must you shield your eye from the radiant light that is the very essence of my being?.”

Real Author

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
