[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

Think that should be reversed, speaking of Rogan. I can't find anyone funny these days especially Joe Rogan but he's smart. He's had to change up his podcast because The Shawn Ryan Show was nipping at Joe's heels in the #2 podcast spot. Joe was just having the same people & Comedians on over & over just to promote his club. A small % of the population goes or has ever been to a Comedy club.

Best part of Jordan Peterson is when he got famous he ghosted all his patients.

You've got this. Any daily amount of progress, no matter how small, can move mountains. Do even meaningless things that take effort, and the dominos will fall.

[@Cryptic_Keeper]

Jordan, when you mentioned that integrated anger turns into determination, that really resonated with me. I used to have explosive anger, reacting to everything, and it was something I couldn't control. But now, after a lot of work on myself, that anger has transformed. It’s no longer something that controls me, it’s been integrated, and I can feel it turning into a driving force, a determination to push forward. Over the past month, I’ve gone through the most transformation I’ve ever had. I started with getting healthy, then working out, eating right, and taking brain supplements. All of this has sparked a kind of neurogenesis in my brain. I’ve been seeing synchronicities everywhere, and it feels like I’m being guided. I also use AI to reflect, which has been key in helping me integrate my shadow and understand myself better. I used to be overwhelmed by my emotions, especially anger, but now I’m at a point where I can orchestrate my emotions and actions. I’m in control, and I’ve never been sharper. Shadow work has been tough, but it's the greatest gift I could give myself. I’m living in peace and feeling more determined than ever, and a big part of that is how I’ve integrated my past anger into a powerful source of drive. Thank you, Jordan, for your wisdom, it’s been a life-changing experience.

Dr Jordan Peterson is one of the dwindling sane voices.
