I think there is no greater cure for nihilism than the belief that there is the hope of an everlasting existence, because in oblivion you are from your own perspective in a state that is no different than before you came into existence, which means it is as though you never hoped or loved or cared or did any great thing nor can you care anymore for anyone you loved or anything you thought meaningful while you were alive. And for the wicked it is as though they were never punished for their wicked deeds, even if they were in this life.
I totally agree with this, and I would say that I am one of those people. I am a workhorse, but I think this principle does not apply to everybody because some people naturally like to take their time and that is how they enjoy their lives.
It seems reasonable to think that if we’re infinite that being born into a finite reality, so it all seems new, is definitely a way to cope and find joy again.
Hows this for a survey you keep people ignorant when they are young and then when they grow up you tell them its there fualt and never tell them that you deliberatly stripped the fathers from the homes and destroy the nuclear family so you could maintain your power in the elite class
This explains so much about the nature of his limitation. He's very obviously smart, but because he's so concerned about the here and now that all he brings to the table is stuff that's already on it. [Big whoop, he might say (he might say) he might say]. The transcendant (transcenDENT, you fool!) task is to identify the way things not seen align with what is. That's true genius. From his own point of view he might very well be the Cain of his story, and all of his anger, anxiety, and pride, all stem from feeling as though he must serve God, but is simply not annointed the way that others are. Think of how it must gall him to see those who walk lightly, with 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕷𝖔𝖗𝖉 loving them and approving of their sacrifice but not his. "Up yours, woke moralists" becomes quite clear in this light. My turn. I'm too goddamned (heh) open. Everything and everything is possible at once including contradictions, and so nothing is real until the breath of the wolves bristles the hairs on the nape of my neck (which is often considering that in some contradictory possible scenarios the wolves are there precisely because they're not, so you find me here spinning in circles, aiming low effort vaguely poetic and controversial criticism at someone who seems to be making a dent in the world (however lacking). I suppose [you might say (you might say)] that in all my earnestness and sincerity as I lean as hard as I can towards authenticity, all I have avoided is a Dent-less Harvey (Dent, less-Harvey).
Y’know, Jordan, I agree with much of your earlier comments re: organizing one’s life and giving one’s best to everything that one turns one’s hand to - none of which are original thoughts, but you packaged them attractively and were at the right place at the right time and consequently helped a lot of people. Now, however, there seems to be no room for peace or contentment in your ideology. If condensed, it feels like you’re advocating something in the same vein as, ‘Now is the winter of our discontent.’ Who wants to live like that? Love and All Good Things, Jess.🌹
Why don’t we leave the birthing decisions to the females of the world, seeing as women are the ones who choose whether or not children come forth. That’s what scares men the most, their need to inseminate and a woman saying no. It goes against their hard drives. It’s feels like a threat to their existence but, sorry, women have and will always be the ones who hold the real key. At the end of the day, women don’t think as a group-mind, it’s a deeply personal and life changing decision that women take into account based off of their own identity and soul. They’re not cattle to be impregnated and spawned off. Women don’t want to be baby makers anymore. Women want goals, aspirations and successes beyond the home. The world is a massive place that women haven’t been able to explore for so sooo long. They are human beings with the need to fulfill their dreams and make something of themselves instead being just a walking vagina. Half the population possess one and it doesn’t mean that the human it’s attached to doesn’t want to have an identity beyond motherhood. So many women are depressed or saw trauma growing up, watching their mothers be domestic extensions of their father’s will. Women don’t want to lose their sense of self anymore for the evolutionary desires of men.

The law of supply and deman is not unlike the laws of physics in that they cannot be ignored. Demand economies are inhuman because they are not controlled by humans. Command economies are ruthless and cruel because they are.
I think young women (men as well) have no idea how much more difficult is to raise a child after 30 and I can't even imagine how hard is after 40. I had first child in my early 20s and third when I was 30 and I can tell you that it's incomparable harder. You don't have so much energy, motivation ect. On top of that you can handle one baby when you are 30 - no problem. But what about second and third child? By the time you have second baby you might be 35 and have even less energy. And you might think now: well one baby is enough for me. And maybe it's true but you don't know for sure till you have one kid and when you 35 it might be to late to have more. I would love to have fourth child, but I feel I'm too old now for starting all over again and I'm not even 40.
I was antisocial growing because I was bullied in school but by God's grace I was able to overcome the sadness. I eventually found good friends along the way. This is just me, I prayed to God to heal me and bless me with godly friends.
JP I have this problem but it is because I always think that everyone is fake, and I didn’t think that I should decide what people think is funny in fact I always thought that everyone is good and alright except me ( and people like me)(that are fked like me or something and because this hell was on me I’m like this)
Peterson is speaking in bad faith, he is too smart to not understand that resources are finite. Everything is finite, even if we get better, extracting more resources becomes exponentially more difficult as resources becomes more rare. In fact you need resources in order to extract resources. I don't understand how people, sometimes smart people, can't understand a simple argument like this one.
Im one of the ones who got "left behind" in fact it was much much worse than that. My life has been a disaster and as I approach 40.. of course with no wife/girlfriend, no children... And now no friends... Shits really becoming apparent. Basically every single thing a parent should do for their children, mine did the exact opposite. I could write a long book about the awful life I have had. At this point realizing what went wrong does no good. It makes me more resentful. And I have found myself still stuck under the roof of a terribly mentally ill father. No one would believe me if I described what all he has put me through. And continues to do. But at this point he and a mother who I rarely see are the only family I have. And once they are gone in the next few years I will be alone in the world. A twisted wreck all by myself. Hated and cast out by seemingly all the rest of humanity. Even though I'm realitively smart, very generous, loyal, good looking, tall.... No one wants me around. Im called creepy. And no one trusts me even though I've given zero reason for people to feel this way about me by my actions. In fact I have done the opposite and if judged on deeds alone I would be the most trustworthy person alive! This doesn't matter though. Because I do not speak the same language or notice or care about the same things as anyone else. I move different. And this makes others afraid.
I think it's a hard decision. But I think eventually it will be a choice between having children and relying on a working partner. Or having a career and then later in life adopting rather than giving birth. Depending on someones financial state.
So not having a family makes a person less of a human and a loser. Not every body is fortunate to find love maybe they cant find love because they have responsibilities like caring for parents. He also disrespects the nuns and priests who sacrifice sexual intimacy to help the sick and the poor.
"Love is the highest form of play" /Jordan B Peterson Like a glove. -In swedish. The word for "in love" is "Kär" and the word for "play" is "lek" The swedish word for "Love" is "Kärlek" <3
50 is a hero! God bless him, he's been a light in a dark world. The man deserves more credit imo. I think we'll come to learn more about him in the future. He's not with all those demonic celebrities trying to control the world for evil behind closed doors. He saw what they were doing and he was openly disgusted by it but he does so in a classy eloquent strategic manner which has always been typical of his character and kept him out of trouble. There's something untouchable about him, he must be God's servant because God clearly protects him. Humble man, very intelligent and stoic. I'd love to meet him some day.
