Over the next few weeks, I will be posting some of the content that did not make it into the final draft of Beyond Order on to Thinkspot. View the first excerpt here.

Jordan Peterson on Inequality & Capitalism, Democratic Socialism vs Communism, Art & Marxism

https://youtu.be/jffDMtIEhPo

Paul Rossi and I discuss the controversy surrounding a recent article Paul wrote. It has become apparent that an anti-racism curriculum is being instituted in schools across the United States and that doesn’t initially sound like anything but a positive change. I had Paul on to share his concerns after working in one of these schools that are implementing new ways of thinking about how our western society is structured. We spoke about many of the flaws that we see with the current direction of teaching.

Paul Rossi is a high school mathematics teacher and writer.

His April 21st, 2021 essay titled “I Refuse to Stand by While my Students are Indoctrinated” was published on Bari Weiss’ Substack “Common Sense with Bari Weiss”.

"Men want to be courageous. They want to be willing to sacrifice themselves for what's worth sacrificing for, and women want a man like that" - Randall Wallace

From The JBP Podcast with Randall Wallace, writer of Braveheart (1995).

Randall Wallace, graduate of Duke University, is an American NYT bestselling author of seven novels, as well as a screenwriter (TV and film), director, producer, songwriter, holder of a black belt in karate, and founder of Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity. He is perhaps best known for writing the historical drama Braveheart (1995), which earned him a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay and an Academy Award nomination in the same category, but has since directed The Man in the Iron Mask (1998), We Were Soldiers (2002), Secretariat (2010) and Heaven Is for Real (2014). Mr. Wallace also penned the lyrics to the acclaimed hymn Mansions of the Lord (music by Nick Glennie-Smith), featured in the soundtrack of When We Were Soldiers and performed as the recessional for President Ronald Reagan's funeral.
Mr. Wallace and I discussed the power of art, music and story, his unlikely stint writing songs for an animal band, the profound influence of Biblical stories on his work and thought, the experience of depression, the necessity and significance of sacrifice, the general development of his career as a successful Hollywood writer and director, and his upcoming action movie about the Pope.

Many of the most beautiful structures in the world are dedicated to religious institutions and it is not by mistake. Beauty is an antidote to suffering, and beauty is not optional.

People experience positive emotion in relationship to the pursuit of a valuable goal.

Imagine you have a goal. You aim at something. You develop a strategy in relationship to that aim, and then you implement it. And then, as you implement the strategy, you observe that it is working.

That is what produces the most reliable positive emotion.

“I don’t think we live in an enlightened era, I think we live in an endangered era where what we think is enlightening us is in fact inducing misery.”

Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist, author, thinker, and lecturer. He is maybe best known for his book "The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World."

Dr Iain McGilchrist and I discussed a variety of topics relating to the bifurcated brain, how we process reality as human beings, and the downfalls of the views that have shaped western culture according to McGilchrist.

Here is a thought, a terrifying and dispiriting thought, to motivate improvement in your marriage— to scare you into the appalling difficulties of true negotiation. Every little problem you have every morning, afternoon, or evening with your spouse will be repeated for each of the fifteen thousand days that will make up a forty-year marriage. Every trivial but chronic disagreement about cooking, dishes, housecleaning, responsibility for finances, or frequency of intimate contact will be duplicated, over and over, unless you successfully address it. Perhaps you think (moment to moment, at least) that it is best to avoid confrontation and drift along in apparent but false peace. Make no mistake about it, however: you age as you drift, just as rapidly as you age as you strive. But you have no direction when you drift, and the probability that you will obtain what you need and want by drifting aimlessly is very low. Things fall apart of their own accord, but the sins of men speed their deterioration.

On one of my recent podcasts, I was asked, “How can people cope with the pain of Unreached potential?”.

Rewarding yourself for improving over who you were yesterday is a profound change because it means you get your reward structure transformed. And that’s a big deal because that’s your source of positive emotion, enthusiasm, and encouragement.

Instead of punishing yourself as a consequence of perceived distance from your goal, you reward yourself for incremental movement towards it.

It’s also, pragmatically, extremely intelligent because Incremental improvement repeated is virtually unstoppable.
