    In 2017 I was suicidal and living in a messy room at my mom’s house. Since discovering Peterson I almost immediately got out of bed, worked enough odd jobs to buy a plane ticket to LA, and ended up working for my goal studio and getting my own apartment. Covid has since landed me back where I started, but that’s allowed me to see how much I’ve changed for the best and what actually matters.

      @HuntingTarg 5 лет назад +11

      Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler employed success principles as adeptly as Ghandi and Churchill. 'Right decisions' needs some definition and fenceposts - and while religion is not a prerequisite, all religions are, to some degree, in touch with the same rough outline that we find in conscience. Most in psychology and anthropology nowadays argue that conscience is simply an awareness of social expectation; I'll just say that that does nothing to explain how individuals can will to rebel against or overturn societal norms out of a sense of moral duty. In the appendix to _The Abolition of Man_ - a work of education theory and not apologetics - C.S. Lewis outlined what he called "The Tao", a conformal sense of moral principle that defies categorization, and I would encourage the truly curious to compare his appendix to what Bruce Lee said in trying to communicate eastern ideas about the Great Pattern of Being.

      @Sinister 1 I don't know exactly how your mind works but I think I can really relate to this and I am actually glad you commented on this. Overthinking is certainly something known to many people and it can be problematic. I suffer from this too. I don't know if I would be as willing to challenge JP but would definitely ask questions. I think a lot all the time to the point where like you I am pretty ineffective at being productive even to just have good hygiene, let alone do work for uni or get exercise or do the things that are actually work it. I am so enveloped in just thinking I have no energy to even enjoy a videogame let alone play it with all my effort. I constantly think about the things this man and many intellectual and political figures say, even if I don't understand nor actually bother to try to remember them or actually apply them in my life. I could easily spout to myself some of the great things this man has shared but that is as far as I go. That is why I am watching this video. I have this knack to think logically and fundema tally and I understand what he says. "Get your house in order" , "face the suffering", "do what matters" and these things I truly believe but it's like I only tell myself that because when it comes to actually doing simple things to get myself in order as much as I can given my circumstances I just can't. It is so much more easier for me to think about things that can be logically thought about that interest me or are politically controversial but when it comes to actually applying anything or actually thinking about or questioning things or even thinking generally just for myself I can't. And it sucks because I waste a lot of time almost praising my self for this thinking prowess but never live up to it. I have a slight idea of my visioned future self. I want to get there - at least I think I do - but this habit that allows me to discover my faults also stops me from overcoming them to the most part. Glad I could share with someone who might relate.

    • @TheShanoGamerPlays
      @TheShanoGamerPlays 3 года назад

      @Sinister 1 Very interesting take. I am usually fed up with people too. It's weird, though. I don't spend much of my time with people because I always have the work to do or just don't feel I have the time, or when they do ask if I wanna hang out it's at a time I don't want, and usually I don't want to for stupid reasons. This causes problems, to some degree at least. Especially when I am around extroverts. I am not a complete introvert or shy guy (unless talking to a pretty girl, mostly) but extroverted people annoy me because they act like they are so good around people (which they can be) but they often are misreading "understanding others" for "I can get MOST people to like me because I can appeal to the mob" and when I do or say things uncommon or weird like, for e.g., I don't kiss the pretty girl at the party simply because I feel like it, because even if I want to - being a 19 year old boy - I respect the fact she shouldn't have to feel obliged to even talk to me. Shit like that. And then they make fun of me like as if I am weird, even though I am actually one to think a lot about people more than most extroverts would. But in the moment I tend to just get angry, and my dumber looking side comes out when I can't agree with someone. But I do agree with you. People are sometimes so blind. There are so many entitled little shits these days, and sadly I am one of them. Though I don't give into the guilt, or feeling sorry for myself or my proposed "white privilege". I try to or hope to use my luckier circumstances to better myself so maybe one day I can help others. Help them have the life many of their ancestors never had - not to feed on my guilt to propagate politically idealistic bullshit. That would be ,my ultimate conclusion to my life currently, because I have no idea what I want to do. This kind of aspect of looking behind the scenes at life, at things most ordinary people don't attracts me greatly (in saying that I may be blind too). Like everyone believes they have a purpose and believes they deserve to live, but a lot of people don't think like JP. They believe the ultimate goal is to be happy but I can see now if you look around that is only a part of it, if anything just a tool to face the greater fact - life sucks and it will not care who you are, you'll die like the rest. Like most people only look at whether they are happy, and how they fit into western society. And most people seem to not really care about talking about transcendent shit, they don't think it matters to think about our purpose as a species, and ask the questions still unanswered. Yet they seem to act like they know what to do in life which is good and also bad. All I am trying to say is that I feel like there is so many simple things about life people often put under the rug. Bad people are not just bad people, there is a narrative. People don't just act the way they do they have a psychology which predicates this. And every time you feel you are offended remember there is someone out there going through a lot more shit than you could ever imagine and is still stronger than you. We're allowed to disagree, and I wish people would choose to put empathy over negative reaction but we don't. We never have, because it is so easier to destroy than it is to spend years building something worth it. We don't need to have wars. Or over-exasperated arguments if we could just even once in a while take a deep big breath, think and come to some agreement. Whether that be for yourself or the society you live in. Anyway, I could blabber all day. But that is my take. If you're into the religious aspect then you should defs watch the Dave Rubin talk with JP, him and Ben Shapiro - they REALLY get into it, quite complex. :)

      The simplistic way to put it for me is: I sometimes wonder if it is a form of hypnosis. I don't mean that in a nefarious way, but there is an element of staging involved to be an effective lecturer and debater. Another tick he has in interviews is fidgeting with his ring. Is that a fidget, or designed staging to draw the listener into what is being said. I often said that this is what made Tony Dungy a good football coach. He wasn't a screamer or tantrum thrower, but had a way of making you lean in to listen to what he was saying.

      @danielcongleton2878 5 лет назад +15

      I think we differ in what we heard from this video, and i'd like to hear your thoughts on the last 45 seconds. It's talking about psychology and the inner drive of humanity to become the image of oneself. I heard JP saying that modern society has a problem of understanding this inner image, and that religions of the world help people find and chase their inner-self. I hear fear and a warning from his view towards society that if you aren't following your inner image or a religion, you are going to become a nihilist or a postmodernist, and lead society in the near future into purgatory. I commend JP for bring these topics to the mainstream, and for all the people willing to have philosophical debates about this, but i fear that statistics are not on our sides, and nihilism and postmodernists are in fact going to take over the world (if they haven't already).
      I am first trying to find and chase my inner image (clean my room :P), but i fear this change will take years if not a lifetime to master, and by the time I will have an opportunity the rise, this problem will be the size of the Cold War, and kill millions of people. Scares me to realize how far i have fallen off the path, and how far I view that we all have. It also scares me at the amount of information is at my finger tips, yet how little we really know. I had no clue about Marduk and middle eastern religions, but i have been spoon-fed to think that everyone in the Middle East do not value life, and would gladly kill themselves to kill the slime that is Americans. I hate how I feel like the media is trying to make me racist. All societies have evil, and the second one evil part of society taints the rest of the culture as evil, and somebody on the other side of the world doesn't do their homework and makes newscasts in generalizations that a certain part of the world is evil, i have a problem with that. I'm sure part of this is my youth idealism, but certainly not all of it is blind idealism. We need to train our culture to process difficult situations, and not have the cowboy mentally of shoot first, and never hear the other side of the story. We all are at times supporting the wrong side, and if we think we never stand up for the wrong thing, that's the first problem we have.
      Going back to the post, I fear that people are so scared to believe in anything, let alone join a religion and be grouped with others, that society is essentially removing religions from their lives. I'm certainly guilty of it. Religion has always been a way to chase one's inner self, and less and less people are using this resource, i fear the less and less people will become their self-image (let alone a righteous one). I think it is fascinating how i personally am using JP as a way to find my inner image, and using him as a makeshift religion. I thank him for this service, but makes me laugh how we just need a hero to show the ways of competence for the followers to fully understand ourselves. Anyways, that's it for chapter one (LOL), thanks for the post, I'm sure I will see you around.

      You should know that there is a deep and rich pantheon and spiritual tradition in the middle east that predates Islam. It's not all pure and pretty - but full of wonder to be sure.
      Your perception of the denuding of religion from culture is not inaccurate - There is the famous quotation of Karl Marx:
      "Religion is the opiate of the masses"
      And history bears out that this is a falsity, possibly borne of hostility to most orthodoxy. Like war, religion often brings out the best and worst in humanity, because it deals with issues even more weighty than physical life and death - the ultimate fate of consciousness and being.
      "... and not have the cowboy mentality [spelling graciously corrected] of shoot first, and never hear the other side of the story. We all are at times supporting the wrong side, and if we think we never stand up for the wrong thing, that's the first problem we have."
      Rest assured sir, you are in good company.

    Just thinking of the similarities between the process of "dying into your language" and stem cells. At first, we have the potential to speak all languages, we're all potential and then we specialize and permanently lose the ability to go back to that place of pure potential. It sounds very similar to stem cells in our body that are, at first, PURE POTENTIAL until they "die into their purpose" and become a nerve cell or white blood cell or any number of options. Once it does that, it forever loses its ability to go back to that place of potential. The cell, obviously not in any conscious sort of way, does indeed make a sacrifice. It sacrifices its potential, what it is, for what it could be, and that's something more concrete and impactful. I see that similarity and wonder if there's something worth exploring there.

If I'd been any other person who ever lived at any time, my impressions of life would reflect that. So how can we claim any knowledge of who we "are" outside of what we've seen? Fascinating stuff to ponder.

      Jesus in the gospels talks about seeing things through the eyes of a child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Could he possibly have intended a part of this to mean that we must reconnect with our flexibility/potential of youth and abandon all the rigid ways of thinking that we form during maturation that are oftentimes an illusion that holds us back? This carries a nice "all hope is never lost" message no matter what age, and I don't mean to say that as if biologically we can literally go back to a childlike brain functioning. It's not about that. It's about the BELIEF, the willingess and faith necessary to mend what has been warped.
