Evolutionary psychology tells us that you are not just you. You don’t get to start from scratch when you’re born. You are to a large extent - all humans who came before you. The fears, experiences and survival mechanisms of our ancestors are rooted deeply in our DNAs. I feel like realizing this/acting on this is key to realizing our potential. Edit: Holy cow.

there's a multitude of latent alleles emebdded within the human genome, some of which are viruses that can wipe out the race, becoming aware of these specific genes doesn't change anything

[@jnoter]

@@jackj9302 Don't know if you're aware that you just made an erroneous statement. Localising specific alleles does actually change certain things. Understanding the truth makes it possible to understand the novelty of life. Of course finding alleles and solving the problems those alleles bring are different stratospheres of analysis.

[@jackj9302]

@@jnoter You misunderstand the nature of genetics then, as becoming aware of how a gene functions will not have any effect on its influence in regards to your behaviour. The influence of implicit thoughts that form stereotypes and biases are less embedded into the conscience, but biological drives and genes operate under subconscious levels impermeable to conscious thought. Mental habits can be either reinforced or left to degenerate on their own but biological drives are independent of reinforcing or manipulating, they simply are present whether you're aware of them or not. Think of random boners, can you will them from happening with your mind? In one developmental experiment studying security of attachment vs maternal sensitivity, infants with the 'II' mutant variant of the 5-HTTLLPR gene (as opposed to infants with SS-SI wildtype) showed an indifference to maternal sensitivity across the board regardless of the environment they were placed in. Genes are significant indeed and isolating them brings forth new evidence that they are more embedded than you'd like to think.

[@marksang-pur9984]

GENETICS! not from all humans but you tend inherit obviously physical features but also mannerisms and personality traits from your ancestors. Environment doesn't affect people mentally as much as they think it does.. usually your born a certain way then environment either enhances it or minimizes it.

[@Theohybrid]

Answer: depersonalization before Peterson.

[@AlexanderGieg]

That's a teaching technique you learn in the first day of training: chose one person to give the lecture to and proceed reacting to that person's reactions. Some teachers chose a single student for the full lecture, some chose three or four and keep switching among them: a few minutes focusing on student A, a few on B, a few on C, then back to A, then D etc. It help concentration and makes the lecture more interesting for everyone. Evidently, if the teacher notices the student he chose is uncomfortable, he switches to another one and continues from there.

My mother is a manic depressive. In her bad times she can't even get out of bed. Blackout shades are drawn and she's either still and sleeping or bawling uncontrollably. I've never seen another person so miserable who didn't lose a beloved. But in her manic state she takes completely illogical risks. She's bankrupted our family twice. She marries impulsively and has gone through a slew of husbands. She walks away from jobs and dumps property to be 'free' on a whim. She racks up the bills and the debt. And she gets mean. She's so confident that she'll bulldoze anyone. She alienates everyone who loves her and doesn't care. Then the depression starts and all of that comes crashing down. She hates herself for what did did in her manic state. For her situation. When I was 15 I took over the finances in order to keep the lights on and avoid the late penalties that would've made life worse. She can't even slog her way through a job. (Of course she already spontaneously quit her job while in the manic state and so that's not a problem.) After the depressive episode she busts her butt and restores her life. She's extraordinarily capable in her balanced state It's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde 100&. When I look back it was like I had three distinct mothers. Like completely different people. There was Sane Mom who worked, cleaned, and made a decent, nutritious dinner every night. With Sane Mom I could be a kid. Then there was Manic Mom. There is nothing anyone can say to her to make her THINK and STOP for a minute. Life seemed good because it's cookies and Hostess every night. New thing s poured into the house as she enjoyed her buying spree. Then there was Depression Mom. With her I had to take over everything and keep her from committing suicide. I couldn't be a kid for one damn minute or something bad would happen. I've been terrified of becoming her all my life. Keep an eye on symptoms. Reach out for help at the first sign of trouble. Shopping literally makes me feel sick. First I'm happy because I found a new, pretty thing. Then I think about buying it and the happiness is gone. Then I go into analysis mode. As frustrated as I am with her I do acknowledge that she's doing her best to live life while being hobbled by her brain every step of the way. I'm not in her situation and I can't say that I'd have done better.

[@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284]

@Trip Gil That's not how this works. Mental illness isn't something you can just 'get under control.' She's a Boomer and she had a good father. She was raised well by hard-working people and yes, she had discipline. The problem is that she can't see it in the moment. It's a deluded state. Her perceptions are way off. It wasn't until her late 60's that she began to understand that truth. She still struggles to accept that her reality isn't reality.

[@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284]

Hes speaking on the area he is educated in. Without a doubt the man is smart. For the most part, the problem crops up where either his ego overtakes what he knows (knowledge being a separate factor form intellect), or he lies in order to more effectively shill. This man gets paid by a LOT of corporations for ambiguous stuff. Hes not a political expert, hes a psychology expert. Take for example his stance being very clearly against protest, something he has explicitly stated many times. One of the few times hes said anything concisely on the subject of politics. A system without protest, regardless of why it is abandoned, falls apart due to a lack of perceived, and actual, legitimacy of government. He is definitionally against the yellow vests, and had he been born in different times with the same ideas, also the american revolution, the civil rights movement, the outlaw of slavery, pretty much every major constitutional amendment, and any effort against climate change by grassroots. That is a huge part. His use of lobster metaphors is merely a very funny example, rather than an explicitly major one.

So if people keep betraying you and you eventually label humans as "unexplored territory" you're depressed forever. This means that logically one must have at least some people to label "explored" and let your guard down or you will always be depressed around other humans.

[@OokamiKageGinGetsu]

Axel Stalson, Not necessarily per se. If people keep betraying you, your "explored territory" is what you know, which is that the people you know have betrayed you. The "unexplored territory" is where you are after you've been betrayed by people you thought you knew as trustworthy. IOW, being betrayed by people you trusted (unexplored territory) sends you into a depression. Seeing everyone as untrustworthy (explored territory) turns you into a spiteful asshole. I've known a guy like that. He was the kitchen manager at a place I worked, he couldn't even trust people to know how to do their own job. He kept trying to tell me what to do while I was doing it. I told him several times, "Trust me, I know what I'm doing." He always responded the same way, "I don't trust anyone."

Its no longer just 'some guy talking at us' it becomes much more of a personal dialogue. Even if a person talks the majority of time the listener is engaging with them by showing their interest and focusing; with eye contact for example. It's helpful to the presenter and the audience imo and there's a lot to be said for it and good public speaking etiquette in general.

For some people it can be really uncomfortable and deconcentrating, especially when talking about some harder concepts and not everyday talk. It used to be a problem to me, because I concentrated more on looking into the eyes that were looking at me, than on hearing and analyzing what the person is saying. I felt uncomfortable not looking into the eyes. Now this problem somehow evolved into something natural that I like, I just don't think about what I'm doing with my body and just talk how I like and how I do.

I remember tripping on acid after reading a lot about psychology including jungian psych and I was recognizing a lot of “programs” my brain had in it (ie sitting on the couch and things I do on the couch, going to eat because I was hungry, pondering on one thing that I’ve come to a lot) doesn’t sound that interesting but in the moment it was incredible to view my basic actions as something along the lines of processes being executed by a computer. Anyways at one point I heard a sound outside and it scared the shit out of me and I slowly crept out to figure out what it was, and as this happened I realized a bunch of “processes” that I wasn’t familiar with showed up. Processes like “how would I survive a violent fight” “what can I use around me to survive a life or death situation” “how would I potentially kill a man” and other ancient fight or flight mental processes. I was terrified in the moment, but being on a hallucinogen I realized there was nothing and went inside, but I was so impressed with what my psyche has hidden underneath it, and by extension everyone else has too. Really got me interested in the shadow. Ramble over, just thought I’d share it

[@mdhall04]

Álvaro Ybáñez I actually had an interesting dream before then when I had first started learning about my shadow and potential where my school (17 at the time, I know) was being shot up as I was walking out of it and instead of running I became kind of lucid and strangled the school shooter. I had another where I was a tribal hunter in some sort of Asian country in which I didn’t want to eat the brand name foods a mysterious person gave us so my leader brought a tiger to kill me and my dog, and I had no choice but to burn the tiger alive. I was devastated both times. Way I see it is I’m learning a lot I can’t come back from and I’m gonna have to sacrifice my innocence for the things I care about and want.

[@DLewis-pn8yo]

Im no neuroscientist but it sounds like experiential trauma causes hyper focus on avoiding negative moments. In order to avoid them, we think about them, causing an accumulation of awareness around that central negative idea. We focus on it, and feed it. This can be seen as a blockage, when looked at from the whole bodily system, which prefers to function in unity. This is based on knowledge of the chakra systems explained in traditional eastern thought. Perhaps meditation recovers these accumulations of negative effects, bringing the mind to a more base state of awareness, uninfluenced by basic fears, or concerns.

This is so good. I needed this. I knew I needed management due to my studies in the Bible about self control and when I had something that seemed like mania, I knew based off the responses I got from others that it wasnt normal. I was affected by lead paint so Lord knows what damage it did and so the need for self improvement was always a necessity as well as a conscious point to my social oddities and normalcy. I adjusted due to my "normalcy" (to which I suspect and self-diagnose in guessing as borderline personality Disorder; cousin to bipolar manic depression in the length and rate of episodes of mania and depression) and am still adjusting. This, this really helped me about the freezing bit, the unknown, the hemispheres and the emotion management.

If use my left hand to open jars because they unscrew counterclockwise. The palm and fingers get better grip because the way the threading is designed. If the threads threaded the opposite direction, you'd use your right hand to loosen the jar. It's also better to hold the jar and not be able to open it than it is to drop it on the floor when trying to use the left hand to stabilize it.

What's confusing is that, I'm left handed, and do all my fine motor actions with my left hand. I can't so much as control a spoon properly with my right hand. It always confuses me how that works if fine motor action is controlled by left brain. And one would think I have all the traits that has to do with the right hemisphere of the brain, but instead I'm stronger with everything left hemisphere related. The only right hemisphere thing about me is the way I tend to be pessimistic and cautious rather than super happy and optimistic. It's crazy, as if my brain decided to be strong in the left hemisphere but assigned all the fine motor skills to my right hemisphere. And what's even more crazy is how bad my reflexes (gross motor actions) are in times of danger. I'm also very reluctant to explore out of my known, explored territory. No matter how many videos of this kind i've watched, i haven't been able to find an answer to my situation. I wonder if i am actually a right hand dominated person (with intuition, creativity and whatnot associated with it) who was raised in a left brain kind of way, and therefore never had the chance to develope the right brain associated tasks.

I think this has got to do with a feeling of certainty. You need certainty to feeling 'at home' or 'in flow'. Perhaps your experiences has led to you acquiring a habit of feeling (justified or not) certain in unexplored territory/situations. I find myself very happy running around unfamiliar places especially when travelling. But I think that's because I've become accustomed to finding positive surprise whenever I do it, and to the certainty that I will be safe and find my way in the end. So yes I feel happy and in flow exploring places I haven't gone before too. But get me lost in a freezing tundra or throw me into a concentration camp and I'm sure I won't be feeling too good.

@Feed The CrowsEveryone has a perspective that matters. Peterson is ofcourse not always correct, but no one is. He has an interesting perspective to share which is to be taken with a grain of salt, and not as factual information, just as everything you read and hear. I feel you are annoyed by the people putting Peterson on a pedestal and I can understand that. It's just a human tendency to create these perfect images of the celebrities we respect, just as happens with Elon Musk. It's mostly a harmless habit of people, except when it happens with political leaders.

[@erikpoephoofd]

@Feed The Crows I agree with you, history will not remember Peterson as one of the biggest minds of this time. To me he is a psychology communicator and not an innovator. I do find his lectures very thought provoking and he has sometimes given me interesting perspectives on human psychology. Maybe you are better informed in this field than me and that is why you feel like his lectures don't have enough content. Since you feel like Peterson's lectures are vaccuous, do you have some other recent psychologists who offer good material? I was wondering why you feel like Peterson is right-wing? I personally have some leftist values, but I don't disagree with him much.
