The Lion King is a film that teaches us responsibility. Simba, out of a false sense of guilt runs away from his throne, his responsibility to his kingdom, and meets Timone and Pumba who teach him No worries, but there is no meaning if all you do is sit and eat all day. Scar is a lazy monarch because he refuses to take responsibility when Pride Rock has no food and the animals are starving. When Simba gets a knock on the head, he faces what he was avoiding and became the kind of King his father was.

I think he's a bit hard on Simba; taken out of context, what Peterson says makes sense. However, Scar told Simba that he was responsible for his father's death, an extremely traumatic event for him. To cope with the shame, Simba spent time with Timon and Pumbaa, who saved him from death by taking him to an oasis full of food. Simba would have neglected himself otherwise and died. Likewise, they sheltered him from Scar who would have sought to kill him. Simba needed time away from the traumatic event to be able to cope with it so as later to process it. Only when Simba was truly ready did destiny appropriately and timely call him back to his true purpose: to overthrow Scar, his selfish uncle, and afterwards to rule the Pride lands. In short, Timon and Pumbaa are not as toxic as Peterson makes them out to be and Simba is likewise not as guilty. He was only a cub when his father died and had no one else who might safely take care of him. Self-responsibility is great, but adopting perfectionism all the time is unhealthy; Simba did the best he could under the given circumstances.

An interesting side note, regarding when Dr. Peterson comment that it's a wonder Nala missed Simba: That is a woman's superpower. She can see the potential in a man she's interested in and will spend considerable effort making him useful. The two main plots of a romance are "Beauty and the Beast" and "Strong Woman and the Coward." In both, a woman encounters a man who has potential but, through either cruelty or mildness, is useless as a partner. But through mutual development, she becomes accepting and he becomes useful. The dark side to this idea is the woman who cannot separate her vision of potential from realistic expectation. I think most people have encountered a woman who believes she can change a man who has no interest in changing for her, and those relationships never end well.

To do nothing when the facts are known is to be juvenile at best and a coward at worst. To openly attack truthfulness is sheer wickedness. This is the light against the dark, friends. Know the truth.

My self-improvement journey was begun by something like the explanation at 8:26 in the video. I didn't have anyone to place those ideals onto, so I made up two beings in my head. One was the ideal man I wanted to become, and another was the woman, as described in the video. Both judged me (and still are) for wasting my life away, and that led to me to begin changing myself. I'm only three months into this. I still got things to change, but I'm losing fat and putting on muscle. My grades are still questionable, but at least I'm retaining the knowledge now. Yesterday, was the day I decided to seriously attempt to end my addiction. What it is, I won't say because embarrassment.

People looked up to us. 4.5 years together, I wanted to propose to her, having known her for 5 years. But as time went by, her standards raised because of her career and she saw how much potential I had. I was learning online business, marketing, selling, closing, etc... but I kept going back to my bad friends that she hated. I dug my own grave. I'm living this victim mindset because I can't forgive my failures and now fear failing anything I do, and doubt all my abilities. It's been 3.5 years now since I was dumped, I moved back to mom's house far from the city, it's half dead here, too peaceful, too comfortable, in the basement, gaining a bunch of weight, and depressed hoping and wishing for no tomorrow, it's hell. I'm grateful of what I have and that I have food and water, but I have all these opportunities and can't seem to do anything. I keep punishing myself, I have a really hard time forgiving, apologizing, accepting that I've failed, its obviously nothing, and should easily move on about it but I cant think, idk wtf is wrong with me.

JP is an exception in this cult like virtual environment, he's loved even by people who dont agree with him all the time. I think he's going to be remembered as a genuinely good man, good being a type of intelligence, the rarest type maybe.

3:06 THE LION KING - Walt Disney. “Freud started doing the analysis of these spontaneous fantasies. Then Jung linked up dreams to mythology across history. A lot of that is embedded in this movie.”

[@RobertJohnson_Zeppo]

Radioactive gynocentrism inevitably results in the consumptive force overwhelming the productive. Your question should be followed by an appropriate mark and the answer is, "Understanding the "Why?" in it. And how "I" got lost in the shuffle with "We." Though "I" suspect it had something to do with excessive "sacrifice" and insufficient "investment."" Oh, don't cry... stop.

What do exams look like in one of JP's college classes? I would definitely either ace it or fail spectacularly, and I'm not sure which.

We would totally be his favorite students. Only if a 5 pages essay is required as a test that is.

[@PeeGee85]

I think it's a mistake to say that the feminine symbolically represents chaos. I think it's rather the child that represents chaos, the feminine is only the advocate for the child, since she stands between the father and the child. The mother discovers the child's virtues via positive reinforcement in the first years. The masculine is the advocate for the world, since the father is what stands between the mother/child and reality/society. The child represents chaos, but it also represents creativity (as opposed to the adult, who is conscientious/orderly but rigid). In a society that is overproducing, you want chaos/creativity in order to invest in new niches. In a society that is barely scraping by, you want to find a single niche and optimise for it.

[@jeffp3999]

Peterson fears his feminine nature, the nature that must inevitably consummate him (ego) to transcend him-self 🌞💖👁️

[@rayshaelizabeth8288]

I can see what you are saying. I agree with his analysis that woman are chaos. I think it actually compliments your opinion because woman need to be chaotic to be the link to children and reality. Also, our hormone flux’s keep us in perpetual chaos. All of this benefits the family and it takes a well balanced man to handle the chaos and create order from it and keep the mother one foot in reality.

[@PeeGee85]

@@rayshaelizabeth8288 Interesting! I have a slightly different take, using the axes of masculine/femine and adult/child, so both man and woman have to mature (create order from chaos). Medusa has snakes for hair because she is the childish feminine, a woman-baby in a place of authority, unwilling to compromise with the masculine and follow rules. The minotaur is her opposite, a man-baby in a place of authority, trapped in a maze of his own unwillingness to compromise with the feminine, instead imposing his own rules on nature. She will keep a man spellbound, but never give him anything, leaving him terrorised for the entire relationship, just like the minotaur terrorises female victims in his maze. In a good relationship, partners turn their weakness inwards toward each other, and their strengths outwards to whatever challenges the relationship. The man turns his strength outward to the world/society and his weakness inward towards the woman, the woman turns her strength inwards to the child and her weakness outward towards the man. Both must become adults and trust each other, help each other overcome their own dragon/chaos, but without putting their own burden on the other, that's a mature relationship.

[@sydneyhunter2807]

If modern day men and women actually loved each other and worked together like a team we would have so much potential for great things but because how people are we fight for survival why young men aren't even trying to get with a woman all we can think about now is survival Scary world we live in

[@lisaschuster686]

I loved watching my son become a bower bird. He knew he was going to need his own place if he was going to attract a woman. He likes to cook and shop and all that and a young woman just married him… a lawyer who makes $400k! She’s 28! He takes care of everything for her. I would like to have seen him work a job, but he has really freed her up. He’ll be a great dad.

Public school is the oldest form of socialism in North America. It pervaded culture so long before the cold war that no one noticed it or called it out during the red scare when people were hyper-anti-communist.

[@ArcticWolf2110]

One of the takeaways with Simba story is that, he is son of the king. Which to some extent reinforces the idea that, to be a king, you need to be born with privileges. This is true in the real life too and can be attributed to the reason why people do not want to take responsibility anymore.

[@Joe5561000]

You do not "own" property in the U.S. you rent it from the Government. They have simply changed the name of the payment from "rent" to "tax". Property tax is one of the most unconstitutional taxes that our Government has imposed, because it negates the ownership of privet property. If you do not pay property tax you are evicted from your property and the Government reclaims it.
