  • I recently answered questions that were submitted on the social media platform - www.thinkspot.com. This is my fourth Q&A of 2021: What’s the Most Effective Way of Overcoming Self-Deception?
    Thinkspot is still in beta, and would greatly appreciate your participation. These answers were also released early on Thinkspot, so if you want an earlier view of these Q&A's you can see them on Thinkspot a few days early.
    Some of these questions have been edited for concision and grouped together in order to answer the broader topic.

    0:36 What's the most effective of overcoming self-deception?
    9:15 As a woman I have fantasies about bad boys. Is this something I need to mature out of or realize in my sex life in different ways?
    14:21 What did I teach my children about sex? Is there a healthy middle ground for them without being naively celibate or damagingly promiscuous, and how did you communicate that?
    21:26 As it pertains to beauty standards, do you think that progressive social pressure can overcome what appears to be our ingrained attraction to, for example, physical markers for biological health?
    28:15 I am worried I will never find love. What do I do?
    30:32 I'm having a hard time discipling myself. I particularly struggle to establish a schedule. How did you make a schedule so that many of your highest goals can be attained? I know that you have talked about making a schedule on many occasions, but I would like a look inside your schedule from a time that you think was your prime.
    40:24 How do I know if I'm a good or a bad person? I struggle with viewing myself as a good human being who deserves good things in return even though I try my best to be decent and add light into this world in a multitude of ways. What are some steps to take in order to become better than the person I was in the past?
    45:55 I'm 40 but I feel like a child watching everyone around me get older and die. So I'm homesick for the past instead of accepting the terrifying present. How can I stop mourning the past?
    49:41 What's your advice to someone who took your "Understand Myself" test and scored 0 on agreeableness, but still recognizes the need to collaborate with many people?
    55:38 I'm 25. I had a drug problem when I was young in my late teens and early 20's. I stole money on multiple occasions. I don't even know who some of those people I stole from are and can't repay them. However, given the instances where I could apologize or repay I feel completely unable to; I'm too ashamed. This bothers me all of the time. I can't sleep or do anything. I really hate myself. I think that I'm a rotten person and don't know how to handle it. Do you have any advice for this?
    1:00:58 Why do we need to contemplate our own malevolence? What if you get stuck in it? How do you move forward after becoming aware of it, especially if you have actually done something bad (not speaking of criminally here)
    1:08:10 You spoke once about going into the deep to save your father but I never knew my father at all, so who is it that I am saving?
    1:10:43 Does life have meaning without God? Can life be meaningful without God and without eternity?
    1:14:29 As an art student, I wonder how to create a poetic piece deeply storied and metaphoric without becoming a piece of propaganda. I feel like trying too hard to create a meaningful and poetic piece often results in the creation of something rife with bias and ideology. However letting my unconscious take full control creates what seems like an empty and uninteresting piece. Is there a method to control that chaos without corrupting its meaning while still expressing it poetically? For the time being, I decided to concentrate on learning good technique.
    1:18:54 Is there a way we can reach people who are controlled by ideology? If schools are bent on teaching CRT and other Marxist-inspired doctrines, how can we turn the tide?
    1:21:13 I've cleaned my room and feel called to serve the greater community. What are some signs that you're ready to go into the world to serve?
    1:22:23 In your last Q&A you said you decided to take the vaccine. My friends and I were surprised by this. Is it safer than I think?

    Hey Jordan Peterson! I'm 16 almost 17 and my dad absolutely loves you. He thinks your an amazing man and has raised me and my little brother on alot of your principles. He's bought your books, watched your videos, uses analogies you have made, and talks about you quite a bit. I was just thinking that it would be an amazing Father's Day gift for him to see even just a comment of you thanking him and congratulating him for being a great father. If not, I do understand that you're a busy man. Anyways, thats all!

I'm a 21 year old, who since listening to your lectures and reading some of what you've written, completely changed my way of life (a lazy drug addled sloth) and have made leaps in my career, and home life.

      If any Human needs a quack like Peterson they are a futile experiment of life. Everything one needs is inside them.
      Tap into it. Why would anyone need to get into someone else's head? Are folks so fragile they can't use introspection or self-evaluation to navigate the planet? Give me a break!

    “Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete beastiality, and it all comes form lying continually to others and himself. A man who lies to himself is often the first to take offense. it sometimes feels very good to take offense, doesn't it? And surely he knows that no one has offended him, and that he himself has invented the offense and told lies just for the beauty of it, that he has exaggerated for the sake of effect, that he has picked up on a word and made a mountain out of a pea--he knows all of that, and still he is the first to take offense, he likes feeling offended, it gives him great pleasure, and thus he reaches the point of real hostility...'"

    Dear Jordan. You probably won't see this, but I just really want to thank you for being one of the few individuals who acts in accordance with truth. Oftentimes I am moved to tears, simply by the way you conduct yourself in the presence of those who are hostile towards the goodness in you. You are the salt of the earth; an honest man, with a sincere heart. You will never know how much you've touched my life, and that of my family's. Thank you for all you do.

    I'm so happy I found Dr. Peterson's lectures a few years ago and I changed a lot as a person (complete with a drastic change in personality after retaking a few personality tests to compare my self now vs 3-5 years ago). I went from being an office worker to a business owner and executive for another one because I used opportunity (opportunities I saw previously as impossible or not even a remote possibility for me) to force myself to grow. I treated my 'greatest good' as helping as many people help themselves through the business I set up, from 5 people on staff I now have almost 50 (after 1.5 years) that I can confidently say I'm giving steady, well paying employment to and that in turn helps their families... and everyday its a challenge because part of that responsibility is so many more people are relying on my competency to keep the ship afloat and on course so to speak.

    Fiction that helped me:
    The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis
    Outwitting The Devil by Napoleon Hill
    Reading this fiction helps to internalize self awareness, which may counteract self deception if you are ready for it.
    Once you are closer to the personal truth of self awareness or are psychologically mature, then reading a variety of philosophy may allow you to develop a more sussinct personal philosophy.
    More importantly..... everything the good Dr. just spoke about. 😃

    Most of these questions I've been torn by myself, so thank you for answering them! You might be glad to hear that I've just overcome one of my greatest long-standing self-deceptions the other day.
    It involved rejection, yes as well as facing and letting go of my past. It devestated and flattened me...for around 12 hours. Then the next day realized that I grew so much more than I lost as a result of it, I was blown away.
    I've gained self-respect as a result of walking towards my fear, and freedom to build a life and set goals and plans that are based on truth, not fantasies.
    All this, because I faced a thing I've been terrified of for years. I can only recommend (with due consideration but not too much overthinking) that everyone facing similar issues do the same. Needless to say you're one of the people who greatly influenced me in the direction of this achievement as well as my ability to deal with its fallout so again, thank you!
