    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    I hadn't considered medium as a good place to read stuff! I sort of dismissed it because it only allows you 3 goes a month until you sign up. Also most of the stuff I've read on there in the past has been about programming, and I've never found anything of much interest. Now though, it looks...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    I must say whatever you think of Dr Jordan Peterson, he has been very good for my education! In one of his lectures he mentioned Sisyphus pushing The Rock, and he asked, was Sisyphus happy? Interesting question! So I searched the internet and found this thread on medium:- Camus, Suicide, and...

    Managing Disorder in your Life

    What I am finding so amazing is that for probably 2 years now, I've been following Eckhart Tolle. This similarities between what Tolle and Jordan explain are significant! Eckhart Tolle says that you should become aware of your surroundings. In other words don't separate meditation into...

    Managing Disorder in your Life

    As you know I've been watching JDP videos extensively, and read his book, but it's took a long time for me to understand the guts, the essence of what he's saying. This guy Tim Lott sums it up very very well! But really, you've got to listen to Jordan, and possibly read his book, although I...

    Managing Disorder in your Life

    The other thing I would recommend, only because Dr Jordan B Peterson says it's good mind you. What I'm saying is I believe him, and I don't doubt his figures, but you really have to make up your own mind! Anyway if you see this video:- Intro to SelfAuthoring at this time index:- t=133 A Video...

    Managing Disorder in your Life

    I have just finished reading Dr Jordan B Peterson book the 12 rules for life. One of the rules is "Tidy your room!" As someone with an untidy room, and no intention of tidying it, I just dismiss this rule as like "mum says" and it had no further effect on me. Then I happened upon this video:-...

    Should Sleeping Beauty be banned?

    I wouldn't read sleeping beauty. I don't think it would be the first choice for most men! So does this mean it's a story written for young ladies? If that is true, then does this mean that a young lady would want this to happen? To give you an idea of where I'm taking this, I'm understanding...

    Actually Bee, why not swap? What is the problem with sending people from the first World with low IQ and exchanging them from people in the third world with high IQ? You see the problem with objecting to this idea, apart from the problem of choosing the group by IQ, and that's a different...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    If we take the simplest and in a way the most valueless thing in society from the point of view of providing something useful to society then consider a "baby". It produces nothing of value, and consumes vast amounts of resources. I'm not sure that's a very good example because I couldn't...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    As to saying that some people are of lesser value? Now, that's s difficult one! A starting point would be to define value... But no, the starting place might be who's value? Let's say Society. And then what is society? Does this encompass 1 country, all democratic country's, all countries in...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    Indeed! This is one of the Major concerns of Dr Jordan B Peterson. Our natural tendency to group people into inferior groups and deal with them! This was the way that the Soviet Union operated. For example , they would decide that a particular lawyer was against communism, and then decide...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    Dr Jordan B Peterson on IQ I suppose I knew that some people were stupid? I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I mean it as an observation. But I never knew that people couldn't do something... That just doesn't compute with me. So I can understand why neither the left or the right are...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    I found a bit of time today to read some more of 12 rules for life. Got on to the bit where Jordan tries to discover what "Good" is. He couldn't really say, however I like his thinking, he took the idea that if you can't identify good, well you can probably identify bad. And he did, from...

    This chap Philip Dodd seems to have a chip on his shoulder regarding Jordan Peterson! So I think I found my first anti Jordan contender, In the sense that it is a lead to follow up to find views which are contrary or at least disagree with Jordan. "You Irritate Me" Jordan Peterson And Philip...

    Shut your face

    I don't know, I remember when we had our first child, we didn't have a clue what to do! There's no manual! However you've always got your Instincts, and you also can rely on what you learnt as you were growing up, taking care of siblings, cousin's, and others. But remember, each child is...

    Peterson vs Tolle

    I so nearly posted a major blog here yesterday, "a wall of text" as I understand some people call them! Why? Well, I had just had an hour long chat with my brother, and he mentioned he had recently read "The Shortest History of Germany" - and of course Auschwitz came up in the conversation. I...
