30 years in the military, followed by 20 years as a contractor for the reasons you just mentioned, Dr. Peterson. For the love of the adventure and the unknown.
Thank you for your service. Im joining the military soon as a result of following that impulse for adventure into the unknown and difficult.
I left that sense of adventure when Tony Bliar and G Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq, what a sham.
In other words, to avoid self sabotage you must continually have a purpose and adventure
Misguided adventure and be skewed as a way to self sabotage as well.
"oh I'm so busy doing all these things and having experiences" yet they are meaningless and fulfil nothing. Self sabotage to avoid actually doing anything of worth.
People need to do things. Invent things. Overcome things. Not be lazy. Some can do nothing.
You forgot to mention one important ingredient. We need to be abused by others. Apparently that's the way the creator set it all up. Matthew 18:7.
Good discussion. I was recently on vacation in the Caribbean, and the safe swimming area of the beach of the hotel at which I was staying was walled off. There was a gap in the wall, but the water beyond the wall was obviously risky. I couldn't resist swimming outside the wall, and I found myself dragged out to sea by the current. I was terrified, and struggled to swim back to the wall, which was made of coral. I stood on the wall to escape the strong current, but cut my feet on the coral. It was better than drowning. I then reenteered the safe area. I later thought a lot about why I wanted to swim outside the wall. Thanks for the explanation.
OK it's a " discussion." A one sided discussion.
@@piehound still a good example of what Peterson was talking about & could lead to further discussion, so why troll?
@@domusardet4961 @piehound didn't read what he was commenting on.
Feels like a very interesting description of „Flow“ as well 🙏👋 You pronounced Goethe quite well ☺️ I was so excited to see Elsa in the thumbnail. What a beautiful perspective on Frozen to see it also as a movie about the line between comfort and adventure… thanks so much 🙏👋
Funny, just last night, I looking for this line where you talk about Dostoyevsky's utopian society (which is in the beginning of this video you just posted). It was to be used in a rebuttal to the usual argument by the AI fans that everyone will be creative and happy when robots are doing all the work. These types have watched too much science fiction and Star Trek. They assume everyone will want to do something morally and spiritually productive within society. Like make art and maintain a nice garden. They conveniently forget about the subset of people that will only find pleasure in destroying things.
Then that leads to the next problem -- what do you do with those people that want to tear it all down? What is their punishment? Who decides it? And who decides what is "good for society." Are there certain types or themes of art that won't be allowed? And how do you enforce it?
Maybe I've watched too much Star Trek. I'm reminded of the TNG episode titled "Justice". It's the one where Wesley made the mistake of trampling a garden on accident, and faced a rather harsh punishment for it.
Sounds to me like a "AI utopia" is a one-way ticket to a totalitarian and authoritarian rule. A rule by who? Or what?
does it really matter what kind of foundation we have at the root of society when we will still have malevolent folks who want to cause issues within it, regardless of the parameters their lives are set in? I mean, we will still have judges and lawmakers to help punish them, unless you are implying that AI takes over as judge jury and executioner which I'd highly doubt. Maybe AI centralizing the government and maybe even the world, will allow for smaller communities to arise and form giving more meaning to individual life, rather than this current oversized mess of an economy that governs and produces seemingly meaningless individuality of most people who merely work to live and live to work without actually living at all because they have to survive in order to enjoy the small niceties they can manage that ultimately pale in comparison to actually living. Idk, but even so if AI takes over and we do get an economy of folk who can do as they please, I'd imagine we'd still have a system in place for criminals and those whose constitution is to undermine the very fabric society as it stands.
TNG is the flagship of the federation. We are seeing the best there is at work.
If you want a more "realistic take" DS9 is recommended. Here there are conflicts, even between humans.
AI in Star Trek helps people do their work, like replicators for food and of course Data who is unique.
In TNG and DS9 they showed a real gardener and a cook on earth though. So AI doesn´t necessarily do the work for them.
Ironically, AI is doing the artwork and writing, so by the time it's covering al the manual work as well, there will be nothing left for people to do.
I would add that we don’t really know what is going to make us happy. How can we know if our future selves will enjoy what we thought we wanted? I once acquired a flower shop thinking it would be like living in one of Debbie Macomber’s novels. It was not a storybook experience and the experience of working super hard and still being broke was very disillusioning. So now I don’t trust my emotions and assumptions. But finding that sweet spot between risk taking and safety is really difficult. Happiness is elusive. Don’t take enough chances and bitterness will result. Play life fast and loose; regret dumb ass mistakes.
Again, Bars
Adventure side 🙌🛡
Thank you for this 😊❤🙏💝
Keep good going!
comfort & adventure create each other ☯
Perhaps I'm simply saying what you're saying in a different way, but I'm not sure I agree. I would say that they are forces that - in an integrated proactive person - oppose each other fruitfully in an ebbing and flowing tension, and do so always with a danger to them.
Comfort has an increasing effect of sedentary gravity. The more you pursue it, the harder it is to leave it behind, and the more you lose sight of life and light outside of it. A drive and a force and a drug that quickly becomes a god, if it is not resisted and restrained, even while it offers less and less satisfaction and pleasure. The drug feels beautiful at the beginning, is quickly adapted to, and never reaches that peak again, because like a warm shower after a hard rainy day run, it is designed to follow on the far side of costly effort. When that accomplishment is absent, the lazy and lethargic seek ever more lavish forms and extremes of comfort, and yet remain as miserable as they are useless. The same devouring potential lies within us all, and we deny that truth to our peril.
Adventure drives us to accomplishment, to conquering, to chancing, to throwing off, and to risking. It despises predictability, comfort, stillness, and perhaps even structure - treating discomfort as an invitation and a mark of pride. Did it rain and wash out the trail? Good. Is that trail straight up the mountain side? Good. "Embrace the suck" we so often hear, for difficult stories and the devolution of plans into craziness we never saw coming makes for far better stories than plans successfully carried out without a hitch. It also, however, is never satisfied. It is hunger; it is motion. It can be satiated for a moment, but even then it digests what has come and begins to make room for more. Adventure without the restraint of purpose become a dysfunction and an inability to build and maintain and invest. Those consumed by it are without both rest and without legacy - remembered for feats, but with nothing produced to last longer than they do - save, perhaps, an exciting story.
Comfort is a driving desire for many hard workers - the reason retirement was so desirable in a previous generation, and financial stability and a "life of leisure" the more current form. Both are understandable,. And both are genuinely dangerous. Adventure, the admirable drive in a world (especially in the masculine heart) deeply hungry for significance and accomplishment and the appearance of strength and admiration of others. If I do, I am enough.
Both are not evil desires. Both must be restrained by purpose. Both have their place in restrained measure in the fruitful life. And both are destructive if unfocused and without direction. "Without vision, the people go unrestrained. Without vision, the people perish."
@@vipe650r yes, that all makes sense to me as well...
i used the word 'create' quite loosely, but was simply alluding to the ultimately inseparable, interdependent nature of those kind of apparent polarities.
@@T_from_U Gotcha. Heck, you get a gold start just for wading through that unpromped mini-essay.
Thank You.
When you dont even have security... You sure as hell want security
Thank you for support me and guid me lord jesus amen thank my idol my father God amen and Amen🙏🙏🙏
That's why the mindset while suffering is important, the only reason to suffer is to teach yourself to not, learned solutions while suffering are the solutions that are,and understanding that the only person that isn't suffering are dead, so take a look at your choices, figure out what to do to stop your and do it ,or death. Better get that heart right if you want to choose the and that in itself is a contradictory thing, ain't, he'll be there when you get there ain't no reason to rush, so,.....tell me why I am.
Day 6 of asking for an analysis of LOTR. It has all these themes and is more palettable to a less religious audience
That is what spiritual enlightenment is like
Currently the thumbnail of this video has Elsa from Frozen 2 on it. I'm guessing the reference is the song "Into the Unknown", which in the movie is a call to adventure.
The funny part of that to me is that I'm pretty sure Dr. Peterson dislikes Disney's Frozen. Every time he's talked about that movie it's always been with a tone of disgust. :D
That rehab trip he took was not about rehab. I suspect he sold out or broke under the pressure and accepted entry into 'their' club. He is on their side now. Just another controlled opposition operative.
I don't remember which lecture it was, but his description of 'Frozen' was that it was 'pure ideology', rather than most other Disney films, which are a combination of ideology with mythology.
Dr. Peterson you're smart as a whip. But you don't know every blessed thing.
He doesn’t claim to. That’s your projection.
Nobody but God knows all per definition.
@@timelessone23 *God is omniscient* is only one definition of God. There are at least several other equally valid definitions of gods.
@@Spartan-Of-Truth your comment is simply wrong. The way he speaks often gives the impression he knows much more than what is said explicitly. I and others say he over estimates himself on occasion . . . a perfectly normal human sin. But scriptures warn us in James 3:1 American Standard Version. *Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.*
@@piehound Cool story bro. I’m not changing my perspective for you.
Some need a rollercoaster…I just need a conversation.
(Nobody is talking about vibe culture.)
I think I’m gonna be sick…
“They’re criminals, rapists, not the best people…” - 🤷♂️
How much distance, or how many roads must a man walk down, before the murder looks like, or can at least be reported as suicide?
This is taking forever!
Very interesting
Above and beyond*
Please take the rosary in your hands and the glorious mysteries at 11:30 pm Medjugorje time. They started this through Our Lady of Peace’s request which started Sunday and finishes (as a novena of 9 days) on June 24 with the anniversary 43 years, the next day June 25th. This is a powerful request. Share with everyone. It is for world peace. It would be in Toronto at 5:30pm each day.
Stop effing around with beads and ceremonies from a man made religion. All you need to do is pray earnestly. Your beads are nothing but props from a satan led religion.
What?
That’s idolatry.
No it isn't @@Luvtadzio
@@user-ii2wl8wg7l Hahaha. Excellent argument. LOL
The Buddhists had that long figured out, which is the central tenet of their philosophy. It's also no coincidence that secularism breeds nihilism, because all that remains is the pursuit of materialism.
I’m not religious and I don’t give a damn about materialism
@@derekgregg9009so you're confused
@@MegaMerdeux no, not particularly. Material possessions won’t bring you anything fulfilling. Music, purpose, art, passion. Life is worth living.
Universe 25 experiment
Is it worth considering that some, maybe few, suicides are less about escaping dire straits and more about making a very complicated choice & commitment? It takes commitment for certain and some internal compromising, but feeling “intoxicated enough” to be (feel) in a good enough position to retire: no regrets no worries, selfish maybe, but convinced with ease the future isn’t looking so easy. Maybe a lazy way out, as defined and judged by a society of “pheasants” themselves , or maybe one feels the chaos of life to be greater than self generated willingness to mature within life’s natural nature of suffering until death is the whammy like a thief in the night stealing everything that was human which you spent your whole life living like because that’s what they wrote in the rule book and called it a bible and pretended to be nature l
Death is the natural occurrence of life exhaustion emotionally and physically- the grand finale - knowing either way it all dust to dust ashes to ashes
Maybe suffering just isn’t worth it, especially just because some other experimental human life arrogantly deemed it to be and so it must be the failure of will and hard work.
Nah, after you slaying all the dragons, when you reach retirement age you want the utopia and comfort. Thats where i am now, living in an island paradise. Selah
I’m a Anna type of Gal 🤟🏽💛
I'm Elsa 🧚♀️
Do you wanna build a snow ❄️ man 😔
@@thatomofolo452 she was the one that needed to let go 🥲But was telling everyone too I knew a few people once like this actually two who were constantly using Elsa as a analogy to verbally bully a girl & her family on repeat all the time actually sad tbh how toxic those two men were. 😣
I hope these comments are not from grown women. Sheesh, talk about not letting go of childish things....pretty typical tho....same kind of women who have disney stickers, plates and clothes. Keep supporting the traffickers you brilliant, strong independent women. LOL
@@thatomofolo452 don’t b sad, B happy 💛☺️

I want security. Please. That's ALL I ask for. I'm tired. I've been working my ass off every day of my life. I was almost homeless, crying my eyeballs out, hoping some landlord would take me in even though i made less than three times rent. If someone gave me everything I would ever need, I would finally be able to relax for more than a few days a week and two weeks a year. I could practice my art. I could merry my fiancée. Proliferate. I could give love to the loved ones in my life. I could work out how I want. I could learn about all the things I've questioned about.
Maybe some people can't handle the idea of being in a utopia. I, for one, am ready to have both feet on solid ground. My right leg is getting tired. I see not being able to handle something like 'world peace' short minded, weak, and ignorant. If you think otherwise, I would call you spoiled.
No millionaires are out there cutting themselves for fun. Use your imagination.
Damn, I wish I could relax for just one day a week.
@@ryugo7713 right. I mean to say that I have two days off in a week now. I'm not in a bad place, but I'm still struggling.
I was in taco bell drive thru and didnt really want that when my mother did. I said we just get a box of 12 hardshells ( not supreme). Later i had got half way finished with one and broke my dang tooth. wtf i just had probly 5 or 6 doughnuts
Jordan handles getting unlimited money. He is not cuttng himself for "fun". He is prepping his audience for not wanting a life of having endless resources. He should look ahead and towards a Star Trek future where money do not exist.
Maybe Someday you could see the Truth... but that would take a person who desires it. You never learned to read between the lines... but you're a good student and eat what is given to you! Maybe that is why you are so angery cause your soul knows this?
Those who don't Desire Truth and the Details of the Path they are on will circle Hell for eternity.
Total nonsense! I've never heard anyone use so many words and wave his fingers and say nothing. No wonder Dr. Peterson refused to talk to the authorities at U. Toronto. Better to make these silly videos and collect his salary from idiots who pretend to know what he's talking about. If you disagree with me, send him all your money.
Joordan Peterstein has never been the same since he sold out.
