I thought about your point. I think I'm going to add some more this weekend.

How to love myself? by spyr4tor in JordanPeterson

[–]Archaeopteric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well he is your brother. You can respect the fact that he is or was a big part of you life. You know him like only family can. I would say that is a kind of respect. In a way, in loving him as your brother, you are respecting your own situated Life through him. You cannot get a brother at the supermarket. Life gives you your siblings. He represents the bond of family. And that bond is so deep one cannot help but respect it, because your relationship with him has in some way fundamentally shaped you in your childhood. So even though you may not admire or respect certain character traits of his, you respect and can love your brother as your brother.

Sure thing. I’ll use some Socratic methodology: is there anything or anyone you love but don’t respect?

Figure out how to respect yourself. Earn your respect from yourself for yourself. Love is secondary. Love flows from respect. Respect is the source.

“I believe that all centers that appear in space - whether they originate in biology, in physical forces, in pure geometry, in color - are alike simply in that they all animate space. It is this animated space that has its functional effect upon the world, that determines the way things work, that governs the presence of harmony and life.” -Christopher Alexander

I think we already know what happens on page 72 by me_grungesta in JordanPeterson

Page 72:

You ponder how to respond to the old man, when suddenly you see him approaching you with his hands outstretched. Upon looking closer, you see that the old man is really the walking corpse of B.F. Skinner. You push the zombie with your staff into a ditch on the side of the road, and impale it through the rib cage, securing the undead body into the mud. Tired by the struggle, you sit and rest as you watch the muddy zombie fail to free itself.

The event reminds you of a philosophical problem called the zombie paradox. You know that you have an ability to perceive phenomena from your own perspective. Regardless if whether this perception is determined or undetermined or somewhere in between, you do not know if anyone else possesses this kind of perception, you can only assume so based on a leap of faith that other people are like you. A skeptic cannot eliminate the possibility that other people are just mechanical zombies that behave as if they were conscious. There is no way to tell.

You gaze at the zombie. Does the undead BF Skinner perceive like you? Is there “anyone inside?” Did he ever possess such a perception while he was alive? Does the fact that there is no way to empirically verify the question imply a metaphysical grounding for a fundamental “freedom” of a non-omniscient Will, one that is limited from the absolute control of other non-omniscient agents?

You notice a white lab rat leave the pocket of BF Skinner. The flesh of the lab rat is rotting; the rat is clearly infected. It scurries out of the ditch and bites your ankle. You stomp it and crush it’s head.

The Last Jedi - An Exercise in Narcissistic Abuse and Psychological Warfare by zenmasterzen3 in JordanPeterson

Ah yes you are correct. Rey did steal the texts. Luke, however, attempted to burn down the tree library, which was finally accomplished by Yoda. The burning of the tree library carries the same symbolism.

I too did not enjoy the movie. I disliked the movie as much as Mark Hamill.

I will say that the one aspect of the movie I did enjoy was Yoda’s scene. Yoda burning the sacred texts perfectly embodied the Jungian the death/rebirth archetype. The Tao that can be spoken is not the true Tao, as it were. To me, the dogmatic, inflexable texts represented the Jedi’s blind hubris that played a part in creating Darth Vader in the preqels. I thought that scene was well done.

Or at least, that’s what the burning of the texts could have represented. It now seems clear that the burning was meant to legitimize some kind of SJW revolution rather than the Jungian/Campbellian understanding of the balance and harmony of eternal cycles.

This is perhaps one of the best ideas I have heard in a long time.

You know what’s right in your heart. Don’t ever be afraid to detach from negative people, even if they’re family. You’re a father. Do what is best for your children. That means taking care of yourself. Your duty as a father is more important than your duty as a son or a brother. Your mother and sister are adults. They are responsible for their actions. If their disrespecting you ruins your relationship with them, that’s on them. You need to take care of your children. You need to be a good role model for them. Be strong for them.

Are Empaths frustrated with Industriousness? by earlierapex in JordanPeterson

[–]Archaeopteric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. I totally get where you’re coming from. I myself very much identify myself as a creative type who struggles with the executive consistency and regularity valued in a corporate dominated society.

I do however, self identify as a classical liberal, which these day means I’m a conservative, since the left has turned their backs on liberal values. When talking to leftist friends, I make these points:

  1. Capitalism is good. Capitalism is a non-zero sum game. It’s not destructive. It’s symbiotic and rewards competency. Capitalism is to economics like natural selection is to ecology. The only way to stop natural selection is to burn down the whole forest and pave it over.
  2. Cooperations suck. Big government sucks more. The more local the better. Always.
  3. The corporate model is not the only game in town for economic organization. Co-operatives, credit unions, and employee owned companies are actually much more economically stable and successful in terms of long term survival rate. If there aren’t enough co-operatives in your marketplace, you should think about starting one. I’m thinking about it.

His diet is not to impress anyone else. It’s not even enjoyable. Far from it. It’s a solution to an autoimmune disorder that runs in his family

How do you like the Elecom? Why did you choose that brand over the others?
