Bring out the best in your child.

"I would almost be in dereliction if I didn’t mock it. It would be an act of self-censorship if I didn’t go after these targets. A lot of comedians think this stuff is ridiculous. They won’t go near it, because they know that if they do, they won’t get on the BBC, and they won’t get booked by certain clubs. They just leave it well alone."

Gaslighting the Meaning of Racism

"They gave the word to us: gaslighting. When they gaslight all the time and say, “The culture war is a right-wing myth.” Or, the chief practitioners of cancel culture saying that council culture doesn’t exist." When they say the opposite of what is the observable reality, I don’t know how to break through that, how to break through those arguments, because not only have they constructed a pseudo-reality in their own minds."

What qualifies as a hate crime?

“I've never been good at anything when I started it. I'm not a natural at anything... It's a combination of persistence and foolishness... Also, paying attention to how I feel after I have done something.”

I had the pleasure of inviting Samuel Andreyev onto my podcast. Samuel Andreyev is a Canadian composer who has sought his fame and fortune in Europe. He writes music for orchestras, soloists, chamber groups, singers, and other ensembles throughout Europe and the world.

We sat down to discuss the skills needed to be successful as an artist, where to start if you want to compose music, the hierarchy in western music, the relationship of music and language, the importance of genres, and more.

How do you know who you are?

You are complex beyond your own understanding; more complex than anything else that exists, excepting other people; complex beyond belief. And your ignorance is further complicated by the intermingling of who you are with who you could be. You are not only something that is. You are something that is becoming— and the potential extent of that becoming also transcends your understanding.

Everyone has the sense, I believe, that there is more to them than they have yet allowed to be realized. That potential is often obscured by poor health, misfortune, and the general tragedies and mishaps of life. But it can also be hidden by an unwillingness to take full advantage of the opportunities that life offers— abetted by regrettable errors of all sorts, including failures of discipline, faith, imagination, and commitment.

Who are you? And, more importantly, who could you be, if you were everything you could conceivably be?

"It’s difficult for me to go too much beyond three hours. It starts to be a question of diminishing returns after that point. When I’m working, I want to be in a state where I’m razor-sharp, where I’m completely present. I have all of my forces marshalled and ready for the task at hand. You can’t be half there and checking your email. You really do have to be focused on it."

"Here’s a good hint for anybody who wants to produce anything: the first thing is overproduce, let yourself go. You can produce a tremendous amount, you learn the editing end of it, which is to throw away everything that isn’t good. That’ll be a lot, but it won’t be everything, and that’s okay. You can throw away a lot. If you do that over and over, you get better at it. You start to have to throw away less."

Over the last year, my team and I have been working on translating my most popular videos and ideas into several foreign languages. Today we're launching channels in 7 additional languages.

I would like to continue enabling the free propagation of my work - in the hope that it will encourage more people to take responsibility for their lives and reduce the amount of suffering in the world.

We've built a website dedicated to each language, with an overview of my work, the new rules from Beyond Order, videos, and links to the translated social media channels, which will be updated frequently with new content. The languages released today are as follows:

- Spanish
- Japanese
- Swahili
- German
- Serbian
- Indonesian
- Hindi

You can find all of the links to each language here: https://linktr.ee/JBPTranslations

"You want to immerse yourself in the work of masters. You risk losing your own creativity for a time by doing that because if you come across someone who’s very powerful at what they do, that can overwhelm you. But you need to be confident that your own voice will come through eventually... You don’t want to make the mistake of thinking you’ll do an apprenticeship, and all your originality will be hammered out of you. It will come back in a more developed manner."

“Look, if you are going to be a realist, you have to admit into your metaphysics: relationships between things that do not depend for their existence on us being aware of those relationships. Things have to be able to influence and disclose each other in a way that is dark to us."

John Vervaeke is a colleague of mine who has been an associate professor in the teaching stream at the University of Toronto. He teaches courses in the Psychology department on thinking and reasoning, with emphasis on insight problem solving associated with creativity, cognitive development on the dynamic nature of development and higher cognitive processes on intelligence, rationality, mindfulness, and the psychology of wisdom.

Canada Day is around the corner. In honour of the anniversary of the Canadian confederation, I'm hosting a special discount on my Discovering Personality course for $70 (50% off). It is a brilliant opportunity to learn more about your strengths, weaknesses, how you can leverage them in life, understand those around you, and other valuable insights into your personality by using the "Big 5" personality model.

You will have access to 8 video lectures that will cover the five traits: Extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience - as well as what they mean and how they serve you day-to-day.

More than 20,000 people have joined the course, and their feedback is overwhelmingly positive. The overall rating is 4.5 out of 5, and the exclusive members-only community is active with students sharing stories, helping each other grow, and offering support in any way possible.

Was Heidegger Contaminated by Egotism?

"That’s a very dangerous thing for a thinker, because the first thing you should think if you’re a thinker, is that what you don’t know is a lot more than what you know, and you almost know nothing."
