      Knightwalker The One Its equivalent to a child who hides his problems until it grows so big, that it explodes. So in this case, the dragon(problem) grows so big in the child that it shakes the house(family). So essentially, the kid just wanted the problem to be noticed. Which I can relate to on a personal level.

      @@schmingusss Think about the point where the dragon starts to chase the bread. The dragon (problem) is getting so big from being ignored it is now starting to negatively effect people outside of the house as well.
      When we choose to ignore our problems instead of facing them, they grow and grow until everything around us, including people start to feel the effects.
      Edit - Think about a coworker who has a fixable problem they like to complain about. You wouldn't have to hear about it if they just fixed it.

      ''Also it's not wrong admiring him, don't you think?''
      It definitely isn't,
      but fanatically idolizing him may either bring about serious blind spots on your part,
      or may just as well reveal underlying blinds spots which have led you to generate a distorted perception of the role he oughta fulfill,
      and which he is able to fulfill in your life,
      being not the only one of his kind for there exist rather many minds like him,
      even more proficient, eloquent, or holding certain attributies more advanced than his,
      while in other ways being less erudite or so.
      You just gotta know where you look,
      but it certainly isn't all that bad of a starting point to worship a man of such greatness,
      certainly not,
      though beware of projecting longings for a father-figure, for example.

    • @introspectah
      @introspectah 7 лет назад +34

      ''Even in my every day life I see the same pattern''
      Of course you see the same patterns, josh, all of us do;
      it's the effect of pattern recognition as result of an actively run confirmation bias which constantly, near autonomously, seeks to consolidate its conviction or presumptions about ''the world'';
      which is not an accurate reflection of ''the world'' at all,
      but much rather is a projected representation of your version, interpretation and sensory experience of the world.
      ''So what are your intentions?''
      I'd find it baffling if you would truly not have grasped the intention which i had so clearly put across,
      but just in case, i'll paraphrase:
      Well, to keep it simple, i might just quote my self,
      and see what about my original comment you had failed to comprehend:
      ''In case you actually want to fulfill your natural craving,
      i can hook you up with plenty resources that will most certainly restore your confidence [in the reliability, beauty, splendor, loyalty, strength and great character of so many women out there].
      Question then follows;
      maybe you don't want to try to disprove your easily refutable presumptions of the world, and regarding the nature of some of its key protagonists,
      because such an act of inevitable correction might seriously destabilize the already liable firmness of your foundation?'

    there are three forms of Jordan Petersons. the first is this version, the anecdotal free thinker and explorative Jordan, who is young and eager. There is the Older Jordan who is contemplative, and emotional, and wise and precise. Then there is bearded Jordan who is brilliant badass, consistent, and austere. For every problem in life you need to hear a Jordan, and there is always one for you specialized just for your needs.

    Wish I had this philosophy 15 years ago. People always give this advice, "just ignore them they will go away". Nope. Of course sometimes it seems that's true, but it's usually After acknowledging them and Then ignoring, which isnt really ignoring. But in the real world you can also sometimes feed the dragon by paying it attention... so it's difficult. I suppose it's how you pay attention to it.

Being to slowly and steadily notice it... look within ourselves with our surroundings. Slay the dragon if you have to. Negotiate, befriend and ally with the dragon if you have to. Embrace and celebrate the dragon if you have to. Just don't let it do only one thing: unconsciously kill us all.

And worst of all; it’s entirely my fault. Because if it isn’t my fault, I can curse God and die (figuratively speaking), but to have it be the result of my own day-to-day neglectfulness both knowingly and then eventually unknowingly as my guilt gets swept under the rug by the toils of the day. Only to have it come back full force out of nowhere is more than I (or most people) could bear.

This lesson implied that parents should not ignore what their kids are telling them (its childhood psychology), yet everyone attempts to convert this lesson into one which applies to the political sphere.

I was an SJW, but when I had kids, I couldn’t raise them like a child would raise them. I gave up on politics altogether now. I can’t be with social justice warriors or go into the warrior’s justice social. Both side of the isle are the same thing, just backwards.

    Also I’ve found myself less frustrated by my more painful emotions. I’ve sort of accepted them as a part of life that can be limited in their destructive tendency if I simply pay attention to the matters causing the pain.

      Priorities also help! My parents are still together as well after 35+ years. All my dad's other siblings aren't. Yet, over the years they and even his parents always criticized how he lived his life. Education, financial, lifestyle, etc. And, even during those years, they would call him for advice, only to try their own method again and again. Watching it over the course of 35+ years has been very eye opening.
