    Both of you guys need to assume the person you’re talking to (me) knows something you don’t,

    Fuck off. I'm petting a cat because I saw one cross my path, so I'm busy.

    Please love yourself.

        Sorry, jon. My pursuit of what is meaningful does not steer me toward taking your posts seriously.

        Please love yourself.

                  You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you're going to take. That's it.

                    It was Piaget who taught us that intelligence is what we use when we don't know what to do. I take it you consider yourself pretty intelligent, there, my guy?

                      And it was Nietzsche who taught us that a man's worth is determined by how much truth he could tolerate. How do you think you're measuring up?

                        When asked whether or not you were in need of an ass-whipping, Carl Jung famously said that "often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain."

                            I'm comparing you two today to who I was yesterday, and I have to say I feel pretty fucking good about it. Tomorrow seems likely to be even better.

                            I was only joking

                                zoologists have often noted that male humans with white skin (note "white" here is not to be taken literally, but rather only as an indication of relatively low amounts of melanin) have nerdy pseudo intellectual fun with one another, when left unsupervised. On the other hand, truly "white" male humans, otherwise known as albinos, are known to have magic powers.

                                Education is extremely important.

                                  I’ve only started it but two thoughts immediately come to mind:

                                  1. The bigger you are, the harder you fall
                                  2. Control is an illusion, and while it’s important to enjoy it while you have, beware of the consequences when you learn otherwise.

                                    I feel sorry for the guy, everyone does. At the end of the video, he starts to choke up, like he did frequently in his last videos before SHTF. I suppose maybe deep thinkers like Peterson experience a particularly deep hell.

                                    The problem with depression, the initial catalyst for Peterson, is something either known, by people that experience it. Or, unknown, by people like me. I don't know what they're talking about, I can't understand what something is like if I've never experienced it.
                                    I'm more like, "what the F is wrong with you, just man-up, get drunk, get laid, go for a bike ride, pick one or all but quit being such a wuss."

                                    Or, "tomorrow will be a better day, you'll see."

                                    What I do know, is if a Dr. ever suggests benzos, I won't agree to it. I wouldn't even take a chance on some drug like that, based on the Peterson story.

                                      I like Jordan Peterson a lot, but something is strange about the Petersons. Such extreme ways of living. I'm not sure I'd trust his daughter. She's venturing too much into conspiracy theory land sometimes.

                                        I don't really understand why you'd interview your dad about this. I do have personal experience of dealing with clinical depression, and the last thing I'd ever do is go into detail in public like this with family members.

                                        I haven't read any of his books - I am intending to try one, but it also seems like you're setting yourself up a bit by giving this kind of advice.

                                        I was only joking
