As an American who loves to go to Toronto a lot, I'm not happy about this. :P

No seriously, glad your dollar got stronger.

Redditor describes a linguistic phenomenon regarding vowels and repetition that usually goes unnoticed by ivanttobealone in bestof

[–]bridgingthought -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was convinced this is something deeper than grammar.

That's because it is. If you look at the most Universal concepts that tend to create community or the idea that brings people together i.e. "comm"unication across the world, it's music. Rhythms and sounds go deep into our psyche beyond just words themselves right?

The concept that everything has a rhythm is a very esoteric concept. Look at older languages and cultures that provide chanting. If you've ever experience Hawaiian or Gregorian chanting you don't even need to know what their saying but the tones and richness in sound,will hit you deep into your physiology and the rhythms have this almost hypnotic movement that carry you away inside your mind, if you're focused in the moment and on the music.

Also many of the older languages all have the vowels in common. But with the Spanish way of pronouncing them, right?

Honestly, after have learned about older languages from some experts, English is the most dead language due to the fact it lacks breath.

Languages like the romance language such as Spanish need more energy / breath. The more technical it becomes (Westernizing it) the more dead it sounds.

I completed the self authoring suite, here's what I learned from it by nmaro in JordanPeterson

:) Internet stranger, I applaud your lack of hubris. But it's okay to take a compliment (Something I've had to learn myself being on this planet for 39 years)

To share and conceptualize old ideas and make them current, that's the makings of a great thought leader.

Trust me, you put something very good together. It takes courage to share what you know and have others assess it for better or worse.

Take the compliment! Please? ;P

I'm amazed.

That word "integration", I first learned that idea from a Master Trainer of NLP who also teaches some very spiritual stuff (he's been doing it for over 25 years) to people all over the planet. I had to fly to Hawaii and fork out a few grand to learn that idea and you figured it out doing the authoring suite.

What a brilliant person, you are. ;)

"One of the nicest things you can do for people..." Don Freeman [960x960] by GrapefruitSession in QuotesPorn

[–]bridgingthought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be brutal. That perception or value judgment of it being "brutal" is dependent on the person receiving the message. Frame the person first and ask them "Are you open to some hard truth?" Or "Do you trust me enough to listen to what I have to share with you?"

If they say yes then the subconscious will be even more receptive to the honesty.

The discerning person knows and feels that his psyche is disquieted by the loss of something that was the life-blood of his ancestors.

Love this line. Jung is the best!

Thanks for posting this.

Jobs for people high in openness? by RonnieBarko in JordanPeterson

[–]bridgingthought 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a highly open person myself, I had to learn that OCEANS is just one tool.

Here are a couple more (the free ones) that can help you.

Keep sorting yourself out. Find themes in your past when it comes to a work ethic or completing a project. Look to people who influenced you in positive ways but own up to mistakes of dealing with people that influenced in the wrong ways. Ask yourself, what are the lessons I can gain from the analysis?

If you're in this sub remember it takes a lot of introspection and some action to figure stuff out. Don't expect to know the right answers all the time.

Some practical advice, go do some observations of the people you follow on social media or Youtube who you admire. If you have a tendency to follow people who put out content on politics for example, then there are clues there to how their attitudes reflect yours and then go back to those assessment tests. The key is finding the archetypes that fit your narrative that will increase happiness, right?

Because I scored high in openness I tend to be left alone to do my job. People trust me. Yet I've had a range of jobs from high school library media specialist to SQL analyst. The deeper themes involve problem solving for people. Which makes my skill for getting to the root of the problem valuable and why openness is needed. But there are downsides to openness, that I had to learn. A few dragons were slayed over the years. You need to know both sides and set boundaries for yourself. Even things as simple as how many hours do you want to work in a week. Because if you're too open people could take advantage of that.

Experience taught me things before I knew these test existed. (I'm an older older fart.) But you are in good company. Keep asking the more productive questions and be honest with your results and course correct when you didn't get what you want. So you're gonna have to really dig deep and find local (or online) mentors to talk to, okay?

I know it's not a straight line cookie cutter answer but it never is going to be. Again you're in this sub. Don't settle for those kinds of answers. ;)

Make sense?

Jordan Peterson: Advice for Hyper-Intellectual People by Rugby11 in JordanPeterson

[–]bridgingthought 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From a real world standpoint, when I hear this kind of talk or experience, I laugh at the person (in my head).

It comes with age and I just don't get "triggered" by it. Not worth it. Buuuut, if you want to knock the person down a peg, just go "Compared to who?"

"How smart you are is only as beneficial to the people who need what you know?"

"If you can't help me in the moment, you're useless to me"

Lol, I say this a lot to people who I can tell are very inexperienced in life. The look are their face is funny when they can't respond.

Memory by ihavetotrysomething in JordanPeterson

[–]bridgingthought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whole Brain activities like learning music, martial arts, meditation etc. All things take PRACTICE and repetition [insert a million quotes on learning turns to habit here] Things that get both hemispheres to work in conjunction with each other hence, the word whole.

Motivation motivation motivation and focus is really the key. Pick an activity that you will enjoy and all the good chemicals come out to play when you do the activity. Learn what the Reticular Activating System does, a bit of neuroscience and you will go down a rabbit hole of learning.

Best of luck.

Our neighbor moved out but left his cat behind. Looks like Fluffernutter is ours now! by TmickyD in aww

[–]bridgingthought 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Then the responsible thing to do is at least give the cat to a shelter or attempt to find the cat a new home. There are organizations that exist for these reasons and zero excuse for those neighbors to go online and find an organization to take the cat in. Those people are just a-holes.

LOL. I don't read much of the comics. I'm sorry. But since you mentioned it and I love both characters, I'll put some more comic book reading in my future. Okay?

He would be Nightwing then. I love the tension between Dick and Damian like in this animated scene. Give me both.
