I thought this was really good.
“If you don’t work you don’t eat.”
As the Good Book says.
Personal responsibility and personal accountability.
Classic values. No wonder liberals hate him.
16 minute video. Starting now...
The left hates him. That alone proves that leftism is a mental illness.

[paraphrased]
“X was fine until he had money. Then he’d be face down in a ditch [on painkillers].”
“Problem isn’t not having money, it’s not having a purpose.”
“Teach people: Pick a problem to fix. Not try, actually do.”
“Nobody actually asked _college_students_ to think about their own purpose, and justify it. [goes into extensive detail about the exercise]”
“You can’t hit a target if you don’t aim at it. The higher you aim, the higher you’ll hit.”
“You can have what you want. What do you want? ‘Ask and you will receive; knock and the door will open.’ What will sacrifice to get it?”
“People need a purpose. It’s more important than money. That’s what gives life meaning.”
“Would you be happy with money without responsibility?”
“You don’t want ‘no responsibility’. It’s wrong.”
“Help people find their purpose and place. That’s more to the point than Universal Income; it (UI) is the wrong solution.”
Worth a listen.
Worth making others listen to, if they don’t really have their own purpose.
Politicians like to dole out money because it creates a base of voters who will never hold them accountable for their corruption.

I like videos but some of them are just too darned long without cutting to the meat.
I sure wish I had gone through that process before starting college.
What if my purpose is to make a lot of money so I no longer have to be responsible?
Gonna make my family watch that.
When you make “f*** you money”, you figure out the responsibility thing.
I would have given anything to have discovered Peterson or this line of thinking in my youth.
Otherwise, you are already dead...or soon will be.
Watch the video. Peterson explains it better than me.
I think you already know this.
As an aside, I started writing the kind of article Peterson talked about in this video. One in which I lay out what I want in my remaining years (I just turned 70), what it is that gives my life meaning, and what failure would look like to me.
Since I was the only one who would read it, I was brutally honest.
I was shocked.
It was a good experiment...and true.
It actually gave me confidence.
For later.
Thanks.
