Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

And you just gave them everything they wanted.

So they could do nothing with their life but sit around and eat sweet cakes and sit in pools of bubbling water.

He obviously had a vision of California.

And do nothing but busy yourself with the continuation of the species.

What then?

He said, well, we know what would happen then.

Human beings...

ungrateful to the core, unable to tolerate anything like a brief respite from their troubles, would in no time whatsoever smash everything to smithereens just so they had something interesting to do.

Well, have you never had the false adventure of trouble you caused just because you had nothing better to do?

I mean, that's really...

That's like the definition of 80% of life.

Well, what would happen if you had a real adventure?

What would happen, for example, if you told the truth?

Because that's a real adventure.

You have to let everything go if you're going to tell the truth.

You don't get to predetermine the outcome if you're going to tell the truth.

You get to say what you need to say and cast yourself on the briny deep and let the waves take you where they're going to.

And that's a bit on the destabilizing side, you might say, but it's no shortage of exciting.

And maybe that's what you're built for, right?

Viking adventure over the high seas and not the idiot comfort that were promised by our tyrant wannabes.
