Probably that a good life can just given to you. The truth is that everything must be earned.

Thank you for posting it. This is extremely timely for me. I have been having a very difficult year mentally and emotionally, and he provides great perspective.

I sure do like listening to him.

The great truth is: If you live a pathological life, then you pathologize society.

Wow. I clicked on another link there to the video below:

Jordan Peterson on Masculinity, Meaning, God And Fatherhood (with Gadi Taub)

Just brilliant. Especially the parts about meaning and masculinity really resonated with me.

Basically, that you are worthless, and the problem is everybody else, and that there is nothing you can do about your worthlessness.

He’s referring to refusing to tell the lies that tyrannies impose on us. Praising the incompetent leaders, denying atrocities ... or in the modern context, that a dude in a dress is a woman because he says so, and you’re a meanie if you don’t use his preferred pronouns.
