Writing is the most demanding form of thinking.

[@Babajoshi1687]

True

[@O_O-xb5ib]

Writing can involve deliberate thought, although, it is not necessary. One could write their thoughts as they occur without applying effort or directing their attention or mind. This would not be very demanding. Deliberately thinking is demanding, and this is typically done while writing. Would you agree that it would be more accurate to say that writing tends to involve the most demanding form of thinking?

[@DonDealio]

And at the same time the most rewarding for thinking.

[@michellerenee92580]

he inspired me i am 9 chapters into a novel I'm now writing.

[@davefisch-y1t]

He inspired me to make a schedule and write down my goals for 3 years

[@FaithfulMel]

Learn to write, so that you can learn to think to make better life decision. And that minimizes suffering

[@wb13868]

He brings up a very good point here

[@teshpatel4895]

Everything is everything

[@rizmacadillac]

I got out of College and found that nobody at all wanted me for anything. Teachers and others had mentioned writing and people talked about writing but I am often afraid of being misunderstood and confusing and so I don't necessarily enjoy writing. But you are right about learning. I feel I have learned a lot by writing and I always hope I am making the correct decision. Mother always said "write it down" and maybe mother was correct. I hope so. Mostly I believe in doing what makes sense to do and doing what I do to improve and benefit my life and the lives of others.

[@TT-or5ki]

Im writing everyday thats help my mind to work good

[@robertmaxa6631]

You can "think", by talking, as well. Apparently, coders have a ritual of "talking to the duck", when they're trying to work errors in code.

[@kimberlyhartman4865]

As a fiction and non-fiction writer, I concur!

[@jezabeltokio]

I took Jordan’s advice and worked on an essay I literally have taken 2 months to finish, I did 3 hours today and am crying right now cz im literally so stressed writing it and feeling like it sucks😭 I’m pretty low in consciousness & high in neuroticism. I’m exhausted to say the least and am off to do something creative now to relax

[@슉슈슉-j2i]

Oh it's the worst. One has to be high in consciousness and low in neuroticism haha... (but I think people never choose to be so. They are just born like that) I'm just like you. At least I think I am.

[@erickouhai9818]

Is there any way that I could read your essay?

[@DonDealio]

1. Take many walks and extrovert. Great for creativity. 2. Journal about why it matters to you. To get the writing out. Where does it need to arrive? To whom? And is someone (person or personality type) standing in the way?

[@Agjmdpu]

Why do writers write complicated texts?

[@kimberlyhartman4865]

Some are writing about complicated topics . Some just want to make you think they are. Being a writer yourself will help you decide who’s doing what.

[@desertdesert8162]

Mystery recaped here

[@8Mev]

People who know how to write cannot lack motivation

[@ericanderson6395]

I don't mind writing but the demanding way you have to cite your sources in different formulas has always been such a turn off.

[@dibsdibs3495]

Take a shot every time he says “it’s like”

[@HugoLemieux]

5 shot

[@olivebre4170]

Oof yeah- I don't like it when that concept is stripped from my writing by a teacher

[@nozari28]

You care about your grade and then you kinda pretend to be interested in the topic - you find some interesting angle or something like that. What he says feels unrealistic, but good to aspire to.

[@kimberlyhartman4865]

There’s nothing unrealistic in what he says. He’s about as real as a person can get. That’s why he says “why bother thinking?” Yo have to answer that question for yourself.

[@isaiahiiv9954]

I got pain from this man speaking cause he’s withholding pain books about cause he doesn’t pain about the ones up state telling him what he should say I think he should touch his throat more so he could see his voice matters

[@aaronlyon2943]

I mean, he and conservatives took the "why should we think?" a little too seriously.

[@assaulth3ro911]

I don't understand what you mean.

[@aaronlyon2943]

No one should listen to Jordan Peterson, no one knows what he’s talking about & he doesn’t make any sense.

[@milliesecond102]

As a freelance magazine writer, blogger, and former grant writer, I agree 💯! I only write about things I am passionate about - healthcare and wellness related topics that educate my community beyond the patients I see in my clinic. When I read magazine articles, I can readily determine which ones are written by a hack meeting a deadline who doesn't LIVE the topic.

[@robrivera73]

That’s profound.

[@alexmanners1540]

Very good advice

[@sharonshookup]

One of the important skills parents need to teach children is how to THINK ! Children need to be able to ask why and then the parent and child can have a discussion on why they should or shouldn't do something.

[@HugoLemieux]

That's a great idea

[@unknownsoldier5141]

God bless you mister Peterson...you are a voice of reason and a guiding light in this shitty world.......I hope everyone gets a chance to hear you speak so they wake up

[@kingofbears6999]

Very true, i never really understood myself until i was several months into journaling. Journaling made me think critical about myself.

[@WoWisdeadtome]

I was floored to find out there are people with no inner monologue whatsoever. My brain doesn't ever stop, if there isn't an immediate problem to solve then it's working on future or persistent ones. It doesn't even stop when I sleep. I can continue to converse with parts of my brain or psyche during lucid dreams and they will answer my questions while I sleep. I'm just thinking what do these people have going on upstairs then? Is it just a dial tone?

[@dylanfreeland7063]

I love to write

[@QuestForGood]

Agreed. It is one of the things that I really enjoy.

[@branwhite4973]

Lol. Doc. Try talking to my pops. He asks the same question... but from the other direction. Literally "why bother thinking deep about anything other than money and survival?" I can't make that point to him

[@jvydee6195]

Because thoughts and words can directly impact survival and making money, that's why. lol

[@jacqueslemiere]

no i don't agree some people think very well and are unable to write "nicely" while ..Marx Foucault a lot of inept stuff infamous books!!! you learn to write if you want an office job...

[@SoftwareDownloadSuccessful]

Poetry has been calling my name. I've been ignoring it because "whats the point?", "that's too much work" has been lurking in the back of my mind. Thank you for this
