Truth
I would love for you to map out and explain the different types of truth (pragmatic, metaphorical, objective etc) that you see in the world and give examples. Then also perhaps investigate it further to see what sits at the bottom of all of these different types of Truth to perhaps discover the thing or THE TRUTH that unifies all the different types. Maybe you could write a book or a paper on this specifically one day :)
Falling in love - a window to the future?
I've had this notion for a long time, that falling in love is nature's way of allowing us to get a glimps into a possible future. When a man (since I am a man) falls in live with a woman, nature seems to send a divine message that "you two would be great together, with beautiful and healthy children". I was also wondering why men fall in love in than divine moment when their admired woman smiles/laughs.... the smile of a beautiful woman can be enough to make a man fall in love. At the same time woman report to value sense of humor highly in men. I figure, if you as a man can make a woman laugh/smile, its the shared "sense" that made the joke work, meaning the reward fir the joke is the divine smile, but the shared basis for it all is the sense, both participants share. If its there, the joke can cause the smile, making the man fall in love. If the joke worked, it may all work. What do you think?
Audio setup?
Esteemed Dr. Peterson, you have been very public about your fondness of music. Your logo is a piece titled "the Meaning of Music." Your videos feature an excerpt of Mozart for the intro and outro. You've done podcasts on music with Samuel Andreyev and Akira the Don. You even dabble in playing music from time to time. It's clearly important to you, if not vitally so. That got me wondering, what sort of audio equipment or sound setup do you have at home? Headphones? Desktop speakers? Bookshelf speakers? Tower speakers? Do you have a library of songs on your hard drive? Do you have a collection of cassette tapes, vinyl records, or CDs? Are you subscribed to any streaming services? In other words, what does Jordan Peterson's relationship to music consist of at an equipment level? Reason I ask is, I work at a hi-fi audio shop selling items like speakers, amplifiers, and turntables, and while these are supposedly "luxury" goods, I would argue they are essential. Maybe not essential like your refrigerator is essential, but good audio gear will enrich your life like no other technology can. If you don’t have a space set aside for listening to music, you ought to consider arranging a dedicated music room in your home. Imagine a pair of floorstanding speakers, a rack housing the amplifier and other components, a chair, and no distractions. A reference setup for critical listening becomes a limitless portal to art, culture, and beauty.
Left overthrows the left
The West has come to accept, possibly welcome the death and rebirth of generational values. Through the study of our own history we attempt to ease the struggle of chaos and order to facilitate positive change. It is by our own inherent fear of tyranny that we facilitate our own demise. How much longer do western ideals last if this continues ?
