Oh and by the way, true entrepreneurs (read: not just business owners) have much, much more in common with arts students than business students.
Very true. That's something Peterson covered as well. Creaters create the idea and the business, then the left-brainers are needed to run it because creative people can't do it, don't want to do it, get bored, get overwhelmed with the day-to-day perfunctory tasks, run off with the secretary, eat too much, get fat, invent a new diet gadget, hire middle-managers to run the new business, entrepreneur runs away from the daily grind, starts drinking, stays drunk, eats too much, gets fatter, joins TNCR, and so on.
We've all been there, no question. -

I think there is probably a repellant force between artists and school. So maybe this is not a simple conversation.

I have my ideas, but no, I really don't think it is.

Speaking of Jordan Peterson, he released a podcast the other day of him reading his own forward to the 50th anniversary edition of Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago (abridged).
It's fantastic. He obviously spent a lot of time on it. He called being asked to write that forward 'the greatest honor ever bestowed upon him' and treated it with the seriousness you would expect from that.

I got about half a chapter into that book, and was ready to open a vein. I don't think I made it any further.

Gulag Archipelago? Abridged or original?
At any rate the podcast is just him reading the forward.

Original, I think. It was my dad's book. Probably still there. Fucking hell it was grim.
Misery loves company, and the Russians love misery.
