To a native speaker of English, the concept of being "confused" denotes a comical sort of incompetence; and there is an active/passive difference between "guide" (which connotes something that could be a person, a book, a website or a philosophy) and "leader" (which is a person who actively directs activities. So one is something helpful to the uneducated or unaware; the other a hapless buffoon leading idiots. Does that help? Shalom ~a
Once again, Daniel Matt excels. "...[T]he way you know you're making sense of it in some way is that you no longer are fully planted in one world or the other." Great insight...
Not sure if you know that Dr. Daniel but this fact of the big bang modern science emphasizes has been mentioned in the Holy Quraan in the apostles chapter verse 27 & 28 almost 14 centuries ago
time: 54.19: "Guide of the perplexed" or "the leader of the confused" Maybe its my English but I didn't understand why this arose laughter? What is the big difference? I understand the original was in Arabic, but if I were to translate from Hebrew I would also translate like the second version (מורה נבוכים).
Thank you for posting. Excellent !
The sound in this speech was not too clear and loud.
Thank you Doctor Daniel Matt.

God is the black woman and man end of story. For one to know God one has to know thy self first. The biblical God is the demiurge.
