Eric Hoffer Anticipated Jordan Peterson

Jordan Peterson is justifiably famous for his deep training in Jungian dream interpretation. He has been applying his expertise to interpreting the ancient stories of the Old Testament, especially Genesis. Hoffer, who may have been a Jewish illegal immigrant from Europe, has some stories about how the fall from grace, of the First Couple, was not so much that Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden fruit, but because their disobedience introduced them to knowledge and power, and that gave them the potential to rival God, to compete with God, and potentially one day, thousands of years later, to overthrow the Almighty Deself. For this reason, God banned the First Couple from the Garden of Eden before they could learn much more or accumulate enough power, technology and power to soon be able to oust Yahweh. Hoffer seems to think along those lines, but I do not accept this because God is so smart, and IQ of at least 4 trillion, and almost invincible in power, that any human effort to overthrow God would not succeed anyway. I speculate that God kicked the First Couple out of the Garden of Eden, not for sinning, but to keep them from seriously sinning, enough to wipe out their fledgling race of beings. God pushed Adam and Eve away from gathering divine knowledge, power and technology to themselves, too advance for their primitive community, backwards culture and primitive ethos of tribal herders. God kicked the First Couple out of the Garden of Eden to save them from themselves, and this act of love was one of indirect blessing, not a curse and a punishment.
