[@themorethemerrier281]

@@GabrielWJensen FMPOV Jordan Peterson is spreading toxic 'wisdom' that has a negative impact on society while appearing as some kind of guru for his followers. For example he just ridiculed climate research in general. I don't know if this helps us.

@@topdaeh2672 Thank you 🙏

[@macgp44]

@@themorethemerrier281 Yup. He may be quite competent at counseling people who need help with setting goals and establishing positive behavior patterns, but when he talks outside his field of expertise with the same level of confidence he makes a fool of himself. But there are millions who take his word as gospel on every topic, which is quite sad.

You have to walk the line between order and chaos. Too much order and you will never take any risks, you are imprisoning yourself in a state of stagnation, with no room to grow and change. Too much chaos, and you will be completely lost, with no foundation or pathway, endlessly wandering through a dark forest, in circles forever.

[@octabunge]

Is order and chaos the same for everyone? It seems like something that represents order for some people represents chaos for other people, like the police, for example. If you're a rich white person, all your interactions with police represent order, if you're a poor black person, police ain't nothing but chaos.

[@wildcatR4WR]

You don't understand cuz there's not much to understand, Jordan Peterson is a religious quack

[@kennethiofi3839]

Jokes aside, it's difficult for people to take a step towards change, let alone the whole journey which may not be guaranteed to reach a conclusion that we are satisfied with. Perhaps in a way when people say that they believe there's no meaning in life, it's because we are afraid or extremely skeptical on a subconscious level that we can ever reach a state of being that we can be happy with. It may be traced again back to the primordial emotion of fear, which just shows that it is probably normal to feel this way, even from time to time, nothing to be ashamed about it.

Finding happiness and purpose in life isn’t black and white. I think we have to define it on an individual level. For whoever’s reading this I hope you find what you’re looking for ❤️

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

And to you too, hope you find yours.

[@arnar9478]

Still we're all human and there is a common thread in what gives life meaning to most of us

[@JavierGomezX]

The thing is, it can't be too vague of a definition either, lest you become lost in the overwhelmingly limitless sea of possibilities. That is an actual type of identity crisis, "overwhelming freedom", which is the one most people encounter in modern society. If you can be anything, then what should you pick? And to that you add the fact you can't really be literally everything because you got limits and you got a recipe for existential paralysis. No matter what path you later take, you got to start somewhere, you got to get to the core, you need an anchor. Every ship needs one, no matter where it goes or what its purpose is.
