Stop, you're killing me! I'm dying here!
Because you're probably right! A tailor probably took his measurements and said "Oh yes, we can definitely make this stylish suit for you!"

And I like a lot of what Peterson has had to say over the years, but that doesn't mean he's not seriously out to lunch on a lot of stuff, and it definitely doesn't mean he's not hilarious in unflattering ways at times.
I mean, look at this. This guy not only woke up in the morning and said "I want the Canadian Tuxedo with the khaki highlights and the baby blue tennis shoes", but presumably at some point he actually went to a suit store and walked up to the register with this in his hand and said "Yes, I want to buy this one".
Clearly, this is not the sole voice you should be taking advice from on how to live your daily life. You're gonna get led astray.

It's just so damn sad, man.... Imagine, you get home and your chalupa isn't there. You went out and you ordered it and you paid for it, but it just isn't there. This is what the postmodernists don't get: The world exists, and it can hurt you, by denying you a chalupa.
Aww, the jordan peterson deepfake voice generator is gone.

To be defined solely by your enemies is to let your enemies control you.
It's tough to stay true to yourself, but it's the only way to live. Someday the war ends, and if you're defined by the enemy then what happens once the enemy has lost?

"Monday's provisional figure, which marked a reverse from a 26 billion franc profit in 2021, was far bigger than the previous record loss of 23 billion francs chalked up in 2015. It is equivalent to slightly more than the annual GDP of Morocco."
I think it's a central bank, so it won't go out of business. It'll just turn to the government and say "gibs plz"... I mean, I imagine that's how they'd ask since they're swiss and that's how swiss people talk.

Aint nobody gonna put their kids through an ivy league college on telling your fat kids to go for a walk!
OTOH if you just go to canada and use our newest procedure, college won't be a problem anymore 🤔

Imagine if any of the gun owners had brought their guns! We sure are lucky that right wing authoritarians are catastrophically stupid and came with the intent to violently overthrow the government but didn't bring the one thing that might have let them do so.
Yeah, sort of like something like stackoverflow, it's a tool you can use if you know how to make use of it.
Definitely seems like it could reduce the cost of development, but at the cost of the number of software developers hired for different projects.
Of course, there's also the concern I have that an overreliance on AI could lead to a mass stagnation, since the AI doesn't actually create anything unique or insightful, it relies on previous work exclusively so if we have fewer humans driving the state of the art forward it might just find a spot and stay there...

all the young people who aren't being born because europe's short-sighted policies are keeping a generation from being born might be drafted!

That's why they're acting like this, and they don't realize how transparent it is. The rest of us can see clearly how disingenuous they're being.

ngl, I was wrong about the war in Ukraine starting in 2022. I figured it was going to be another one of the long lines of things that turn out to be false that the powers that be dump upon us.
Since then, I have largely not cared. I see the powers that be blaming inflation on Putin because they think we're stupid (and they're right), but it's two powers that have nothing at all to do with me. I've seen an argument for opposing Russia in this conflict, but nobody has made that argument.
So is it going to end in 2023? I have absolutely no idea. The fog of war is so thick I don't have any idea what's going on in Ukraine, so for all I know there is no war in Ukraine and it's all an elaborate ruse concocted to explain why I can't find baby Tylenol anywhere.

Humility is not cynicism. It's important to have the humility to recognise the many factors of our humanity. It is hubris to assume that we have transcended negative parts of our humanity, and people who claim to have done so are being deceptive, perhaps even with themselves.
Taking the long view of history, within every human neccessarily lies a light side and a dark side, because human beings are fragile, and the human race is fragile. All humans have one recent common ancestor called Mitochondrial Eve because humanity was driven to the edge of extinction at one point in history, and the brutal history that brought us near extinction many times forced humans to employ many strategies on an individual for the human race to survive.
Everyone who came before you had to survive, and the needed to reproduce. Anyone who didn't survive long enough had their bloodline ended, and anyone who didn't reproduce had their bloodline ended. There's a lot of stuff written into your blood that you don't even realize is there because it's ingrained into you by millions of years of our different ancestors who survived and reproduced being the ones who passed their genetics down, and both light and dark traits result.
Selfishness may sometimes be beneficial for an individual's own survival and reproduction, but it may also have negative consequences for others in the group. On the other hand, selflessness and cooperation can also be beneficial for the survival and reproduction of a group, but they may sometimes come at a cost to the individual. Aggression can be useful for defending oneself or one's group, but it can also be destructive if it leads to unnecessary conflicts. Cooperation can help individuals and groups work together to achieve common goals, but it can also lead to exploitation if not properly managed. Risk-taking can lead to new opportunities and innovations, but it can also be dangerous if it leads to reckless behavior. Short-term thinking can help individuals make quick decisions in times of danger, but it can also lead to neglect of long-term consequences. Long-term thinking can help individuals and groups plan for the future, but it can also lead to inaction in the present. All of these traits must exist in one person, and individuals and societies must find ways to balance them in order to achieve long-term success.
Making things more complicated is interplay between dark and light traits such that one can express positive traits for inherently selfish reasons. For example, by helping and protecting members of their own family, an individual is more likely to ensure the survival and reproduction of their own genes, which are shared with their family members. Similarly, by forming cooperative relationships with others and helping to protect and support the group, an individual can increase their own chances of survival and reproduction by being part of a stronger and more cohesive unit. In this way, selflessness can be seen as a strategy for promoting the individual's own long-term survival and reproduction, even though the immediate actions may not be directly focused on the individual's own interests. We've seen this in particular during this generation with "Nice Guy" syndrome, where an individual with motives that are from the darker side of the spectrum pretends to be a "nice guy" to get the rewards of access to sex, and when that reward isn't immediately apparent the true motives end up revealed.
You may support democracy today because you feel it adequetely represents your interests and values at this time, but I suspect you will become less supportive of it in the future if you feel that the system is not adequately representing your interests or values. For example, if the dominant ideology of society shifts in a direction that is opposed to your beliefs, you may feel that the democratic process is no longer serving your needs and may become less supportive of it as a result. As well, it's common to get frustrated by the limitations of democracy, such as the inability to pass desired policy changes, which often results in calls to streamline what is ultimately a messy system that works slowly.
You may not be aware, but a number of people who will preach all day about democracy have violated the law (Specifically the first amendment, this isn't related to alleged voting fraud) to swing elections in a direction they'd prefer. Their justification is that the people who won elections that they don't like are so evil that the rules must be bent to prevent them from winning, even if that win is legitimate.
tl;dr: Why do I keep doing this to myself? Stop writing Essays, SJ!
