    My mother had a friend who was one of the most amazing human beings that I've ever known. She has an IQ of 85. She's barely literate. She writes and spells about the same as your average fourth grader.
    But she's the most conscientious people I've ever met in my life. She has a work ethic like no one else. It took a little more care to teach her a job, but once she had it down, she worked like a machine. (She's retired now) Her house is orderly and immaculate. She worked lots of jobs and she quickly became the MVP. She had a job at at gas station for awhile and the shelves were perfectly stocked, the bathrooms were immaculate, and the windows practically sparkled after her shift was done. She never stopped, never took a break. She just moved through the checklist then continued to clean after that was done.
    She was a faithful wife and a loving mom. A wonderful, loyal friend.
    She's in her 70's now and a widow and I'd say that she's had a very successful life. One of her grandsons moved to China to teach English and she has faithfully sent him a letter, a small gift, and a bit of money every week. He's been there for over a decade and she hasn't missed a week. He adores her above all others and looks forward to her little notes and presents.
    I've known some brilliant people who've led ruinous, short lives. She's made me reassess the definition of the word 'success.' We're all told to reach for the brass ring, but what's wrong with a nice, steady life with lots of dedicated love? Why isn't that enough for most of us?
    We don't pay attention to the little, daily things. We neglect our lives in so many ways. We're so focused on this grand picture and we're missing the daily joys that good order brings.
    I'm as guilty as the next person.
    But I think of her from time to time and that reminds me to bring some order and balance into my life. There's nothing wrong with focusing on pushing back the chaos.

    I was so worried about looking unintelligent or dumb that I didn’t do anything so I wouldn’t be found out. But it’s ok to try, look clueless, fail, learn and then try again. It’s the only way to gain intelligence or be good at something, people aren’t experts on the first try.
    That’s what I always believed that if I wasn’t good at something right away then I didn’t want to try for fear of looking dumb.
    I’m still working on being ok being clueless about something in front of people in school, but that’s what I’m there for is to learn something I don’t know. I’m still wrestling with it for sure.
    I’m judgmental about myself and others so I fear others judgment because I know I’m capable of it towards others. I’m learning to be more compassionate and nonjudgmental because it’s tiring and anxiety provoking being worried about every little detail about myself and others faults.
    I’m going to keep trying.

      It is tiring thinking too much about the small things about yourself so stop 🛑 get up each day and practise not caring about the small stuff as everything takes daily practice not just getting educated. Changing how you think about yourself and others takes daily practice too so every day try and not compare with others it’s a waste of time and will make you miserable and shake off the negative thoughts when they come....superiority and inferiority does not exist. Be strong and stand tall an one day you’ll be bullet proof.

    Dr. Peterson gets my vote. I've listened to all his posted videos. I love the way some people are so quick to judge when they hear something they don't like. I hate political correctness. And those few who genuinely speak their truths are always politically incorrect. Jesus was politically incorrect. So afraid are they of hurting people's feelings; I say let their feeling be hurt. If anything I say offends you, that means I have power and control of your emotions. Nobody controls my emotions. That doesn't mean I don't get angry when there is cause to be angry, but my anger is something YOU feel. A FORCE! About offences, Jesus said, "The offence is IN YOU! And since it is in you, I can pull it out of you if I want to; and, no, I don't even need a reason. Comedians do it all the time, and get paid for it. Comedians are Prophets with a humorous side. A Prophet, or Poet, simply calls it as he sees it, and people either laugh or cry or get angry. Madison Avenue does it every second of the day. The politicians pull it out of you to divide you from your fellow Homo Sapiens. Homo Sapiens are not Human Beings. Homo Sapiens are simply a field of possibilities, one of which is to grow into Conscious Human Beings of Light, which is a word for Consciousness. "You are the light of the world." Forget the words I use. What's the old saying? It's not what you say, but how you say it? If I am writing from a Conscious Source, then this writing would be what the Forth Way calls a 'B' Influence. 'A' Influences are the influences of ordinary every day life. When you meet a Conscious Being, you will not know that he or she is one. But you cannot refute them. When you are in the presence of a Conscious Being, he or she brings you up their level in the Moment connects with you soul to soul: that's Intimacy in it's deepest meaning. Don't take it too literally. "Wide is the gate and broad is the way to that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat." And they go as failed experiments in Conscious Evolution. "Many are called, few are chosen." Creation and Evolution are two side of the same coin. Only one sperm in millions, or is it billions, gets to fertilized the egg. New experiment under way.

      0 is measurable and, if the value represents a difference (or "distance in a metric space" if you're uptight), indicates that no measurable effect has been found in an experiment. Peterson said "... has improved by an immeasurable amount", and that would be exactly 0, I got a good chuckle from that.
      So both perspectives are okay in my book - literally (ha!), it's in my lecture notes which have been published as a book - *but* you have to get your context right.

      I know that from personal experience. Im an emotionally volitile, low status, high IQ, creative male with not enough conciousness to make something of myself career wise and a big part of me doesnt care about social status. Ive been lucky to get early with crypto but I have zero interest to flaunt any of that in my personal life and havent told anyone. Being in the crypto space for this long has made me realize just how some aspects of psychology works on a personal level because its a wild ride beyond belief. If you cant control fear and greed you will get swallowed up and spit out. Over time it has gotten better but its still a huge strain emotionally and I wonder many times if its worth it. Ive made so many costly mistakes that thinking about just how much money Ive lost from making emotional decisions could drive a person mad. I try not to.

    @nicolez581 3 года назад +2

    Thank you for giving access to your lectures. Access to information via the Internet changed my life and your lectures have helped me in abundance. One thing about IQ tests I feel might be negative (if you want to look at it that way), is that there are many people in the world without access to information; moreover many people aren't even taught how to effectively evaluate information to grow their understanding capabilities. I grew up in a situation where I faced this adversity and had to teach myself pretty much most of the fundamental things I needed to know to live a meaningful life and to rid myself of inherited pathology.
    It's an adversity I still face, however I feel lucky I have the means to face it. I don't think that makes me exceptional in any way from anyone else; simply that I am fortunate to have the means to do so.
    The question I would therefore ask is: is IQ basically just differentiating people with access to information and the knowledge of how to properly evaluate that information, from the people who do not? If so, doesn't it largely highlight the gap of wealth disparity since poverty contributes towards lack of opportunity in general but specifically in this case lack of opportunity to be educated by high quality intellectuals?
    How do we determine what differentiates a person with really good understanding from a person with poor understanding? In other words, isn't every individual capable of pretty much the same things through specific nurture? If equal opportunity truly existed, then wouldn't peoples IQ have very little variation?

    I learn't nothing until i passed beyond those school gates for the last time. I was definitely one of Jordan Peterson's "day-dreaming" creatives...so he's bang on the money in that area.
    The school year pupils before me left(mostly with a job), without qualifications. The year i left(1 year later..with qualifications...one or two in Maths and English) everybody i knew walked pretty much straight into an unemployment queue. Was it a disadvantage? Sure and massively to begin with, eventually. As we had ZERO money... but we had something of way more value for the long term...TIME TO THINK...and observe...total freedom.
    I went on to run two businesses. There were no Business Studies offered to me at school. I joined a small eye-opener of a Business course at 20(and the right inspirational tutor)..and ran my first business at 21 in Mobile Catering...what a grounding.
    Learning things parrot-fashion only works for one section of children. The rest were totally abandoned in my day and for the record, the abandoned ones were drawn naturally to business..mainly because they couldn't get jobs due to not being able to produce qualifications, due to not being able to pass "parrot-fashion" exams....oh, the irony.
    Come to think about it, when i went to some grotty school re-union about twenty years after we left, it became very noticeable that the Business runners ended up drifting together in that hall by the end of the evening. The rest, mainly seemed really bored or boring to be around. Most told me they were in jobs the hated....again, irony, they were mostly the "parrot-fashion successes".
    It sure was interesting. To add to the evening, the former head boy, who had ended up with the head girl(two of the most qualified to leave school) seemed utterly bored with each other. They came over as if they'd never really left school...mmmmm.

    So as a high (ish) IQ person high (ish) in conscientiousness who struggled most of his adult life, I would put a plug in for ADHD testing and possibly interventions (including medication) for those who know they are smart but struggle to find traction. I have found it very helpful to help me function in the world. I know that is not what Dr. Jordan would advocate, but I find that it has helped me. I. also happen to be pretty high in agreeableness, which lead me to Jung which lead me to these lectures. I think Dr. Peterson is a very good lecturer, a good human being. Politically, I probably disagree with 3/4 of what he seems to advocate these days. However, I have learned alot of helpful things and appreciate the posting.

      My suggestions:
      1. Fix your sleeping schedule. Wake up earlier, get things done early in the morning
      2. Write a list of things that need to be done for the day and cross them out as you go
      3. Reward yourself for finishing the list of tasks (maybe a small piece of chocolate or something or the ability to binge watch YT at night until your set bedtime)

Walking used to be natural, particularly barefoot, for many. Also gut bacteria. Too bad JP wasn't aware of this at the time of this lecture because it is clear here he is still on pop drinks and carbs here. Good thing that his IQ is high, had some grey matter to destroy there and still be far ahead of everyone.
