My dad used to tell me as a music student that I needed to copy the masters until my playing was indistinguishable from theirs, then high quality creativity would be easy. Mastery of the tradition comes first.

[@seanmcardle]

Very good. In army training they taught us you must learn how to follow before you can learn how to lead.

[@beenschmokin]

Mastery of the fundamentals. Copying others will not breed creativity. It won't even make you any good.

[@GrantStinnett]

@@beenschmokin this is wrong. Mastery of the fundamentals is part of copying the masters. You must have both. All masters have mastered the fundamentals. That’s why they are called masters. Every field that is not a completely new invention (and there is rarely something that is completely new in this world) has generations of people who were creative and imminently capable that came before. They took the best parts of the previous generations of masters and formed their own new work from their influences as well as their own unique idiosyncrasies. This means the field is pushed forward with each generation of masters and the best discoveries have been refined. To become great you must stand on the shoulders of the giants who have come before and at the same time transcend them.

By "convince," I meant more like salesmanship and persuasion. Usually someone is trying to make money off of me, con me, or trick me. Especially with regards to the subject this video opened up with. They were selling it so hard, that it sent up many red flags. It kept me from "complying," and not being duped into being a medical guinea pig for someone else's profit.

7:08 A lot is lost. I made this observation with the slow advent of streaming services. Back in the 90's, most people and kids all watched a handful of the same shows and we were able to talk about them and connect on a social level, even random people you could talk to about it, because everyone was watching Friends or Seinfeld, or South Park. Now, with an unlimited amount of 'content' and stories available on demand, I've noticed the steep drop in connection with people I know well and even strangers when it comes to something as simple as pop-culture sitcoms.

Pretty much nothing, at least nothing on purpose, which is why there's a void and society is imploding. The short answer could be, marxism and nihilism, and things like race theory and gender theory. Worship of sex also comes to mind (see LGB 'community' and rampant abortion)

[@peterclark6290]

Atheism has failed to provide a model that a high-functioning society could use to interpret reality, due partly to the grief that is felt when they realise there is no real point to intelligent life on a hurtling gravity-suspended rock, etc. It would take a large mind to ask: Are intelligence and imagination the Cosmos trying to make sense of itself? The answer to that is in the second question: what it would take to self-assemble all of the contributory components to render such a mind? That answer would be compounded simplicity: i.e. that if reality is endless Space plus Energy which is bipolar and therefore embodies a binary logic, then that set of simple rules could end up producing the complexity of a brain, which it has. It doesn't need to end there either.

[@dragons_red]

Well if you confront them on this (the Sam Harris or Matt Dillahunty types), they will claim that either they can rationalize out morality or that morality is mostly self evident. Peterson has tried to point out to them that is not true and that the only reason they think this is (ironically) they were raised in a Christian Moral based culture that ingrained that into them to begin with. Their lack of self awareness is stunning.

[@peterclark6290]

@@dragons_red Their reluctance is as it should be. Understanding the prototype hidden within genome is an incomplete Science. However it is the only continuous thread that goes back to the causative reasons for primordial ooze in the first place. Any alternate justification for intelligent and imaginative life will sound Utopian: and within the background of our embarrassing History also ridiculous. Unless... Should any culture realise that the key is finding out how to reliably turn out great replacement adults, armed with as many of the genomic attributes they had been gifted that may change. No society needs under-achievers, substance abusers or criminals. These outcomes were made, not born. Cheers.

The "justifying" claim, I would say, is whether one can navigate the unknown consistently and reliably without constantly being over seen by a Nanny consciousness. That's what my KZbin Calendar purports to do. My goal is to not need a constant supervisor making sure everything goes right all the time. The problem with theism, whether that's polytheism or monotheism, is that they're two sides of the same coin, unnecessary cosmic micro managers. At least, in relationship to people who are healthy in their mind and in their relationship to themselves and others. The ability to transition from mental patient to private citizen is what I set out to accomplish without the need for doctorial oversight or institutionalization.

Then I began to reason with this understanding and concluded with,,, as we humans relatively define intelligence,, how much more understanding of this could be with God.. And when we then judge his works of creation or criticize it as did Satan,, does one even contemplate the extreme greater of intelligence of what God has or is?... Do you think that God couldn't predict the acts and motives of Satan and it's results?.. I believe we are simply 'colateral damage' in a impossible to know at the moment 'plan',, I believe of cleansing evil out of existence, maybe?,, but also leaving enough breadcrumbs on the trail, or 'Truth' in the Holy Bible,, better days lay ahead in the Heavens,, and not of this world (plan)...

To those who don't understand what Jordan is saying: it's not your fault. He makes absolutely no sense and contradicts himself in this video. But he is a Christian conservative and said "scientism gone mad" in a stern and angry way, so you love everything he says. Because it fits in your "world model", as he put it. So I think what I gained from this video is that explaining things scientifically to Christian conservatives is useless. Instead of trying to educate you on viruses, mutations, the immune system, etc., what they should have told you is that God is angry and unleashed a pestilence on the elderly. But in his fairness did not let it affect children. And He has ordered us to stay home and pray so He will show us mercy and it will pass as all things shall. But, no, stupid scientists, trying to explain things scientifically, what a bunch of nerds.

[@dragons_red]

Way to shit on something because you can't (more like refuse) to understand. Keep doing that anti-intellectual thing of thinking that if I can't put it in Scienctific method terms then it must be nonsense. Realize that Science and man's understanding of the universe is NECESSARILY limited, by the very mechanics of evolution I am sure you DO believe, because natural selction and random mutation does not produce omnipotent beings, it just produces one clever enough to survive to pass on genes, no matter how clever. And you seeem to fail to recognize the Scientific method you hold as the end all be all is LIMITED BY DESIGN, because it CAN'T address things that can't be tested empirically or objectively, which there are TONS if things in your life (that don't even enter religion) that this applies to. It's not designed answer everything, it's designed for material sciences, and even there it has hit it's limits (quantum, spacetime, psychology, super complex systems). But continue to bury your head in the sand believing it is everything. This is where people coin the term Scientism, because y'all worship it blindly, not even understanding what Science actually is. The modern world made it to 99% of where it is now without the scientific method existing, and all it has given us is more sophisticated technology which is neither good nor bad because they are all tools, and like any tool, it can be weilded for good or bad (hammer or a nuke and everything in between), what makes it good/evil is the spirit of the human weilding it, which again, Science cannot even begin to address.
