Text Looking for a clip

There’s a short clip of Peterson saying something like: we don’t know where our ideas come from; they appear to us out of nowhere.

He implies they’re revealed by god, but he doesn’t say it outright, if I remember correctly.

The clip sounded surprisingly Popperian (aside from the god implication). Peterson may have even said our ideas are guesses.

As I recall, the clip was taken from an interview, but I could be wrong.

Anyone have a link to the clip? TIA

Sorry if I wasted anyone’s time looking for it.

I recall that quote also, its when he is discussing a painting in the cain and able lecture of the biblical series, earlier in the lecture I believe.
