Dependent 

YES! OK! Now we're getting somewhere!
Hym "Yes! So the validity of a set of propositions is dependent on the underlying ideas... So, at the core of the of the Abrahamic religions... The underlying idea... That determines the validity of the subsequent ideas... Is the claim that the creature of the universe spoke to the Jews. And that didn't happen. Which is what the question "Do you believe in God?" Is pertinent. So, God didn't say anything to Moses. What you have here is a psychopathic narcissist gloming on to a preexisting religion (following in the footsteps of the original psychopathic narcissist) and trying to morph the religion to his own ends so he can maintain the moral authority that the religion allows him to claim. That's what Jordan Peterson is doing. The validity of everything he says, hinges on a truth claim he does not believe. The thing you said (Jordan), IS NOT GOD. That you. You are not God. You don't even believe that there is one. You are a charlatan. It's not that deep."

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.
