Episode: 304. Infamous: When Comedy Exists Outside of Agend...

Peterson mentions this book when discussing the importance of finding community in college and how the internet can both foster community and hinder personal growth. The internet's ability to create echo chambers can weaken our ability to communicate with those who disagree with us.

"

And this is why the internet is amazing but also dangerous, it's just like university in this way. Okay, before the internet, there was college and that's how I described it in high school.

You talked to some people that had rough experiences in high school, especially people are younger than me, and I said, 'Hey, just wait to go to college, you're going to be dealing with way more people and you'll be able to be yourself because there's some other people that actually feel just like you.'

Yeah, right, and you're gonna really like this college experience because you're going to find a friend group that just didn't exist in your small, 100 kid per grade high school, right? The internet is that on steroids right now.

That little four-person group that really likes gaming and wearing masks and doing all this other shit is four million globally, you get to feel part of a big group and you have all these people that like what you have to say. But what I think that the internet can often do, and it's something that like I try my hardest to not let it do, is it dulls our sword, you know what I mean? We don't have to communicate outside of the echo chamber, chamber, right?

We know if we want, we can say the things we believe to the people who also believe them, and now there's no more nuance.

with everything that you are and with the capacity that you have to speak in a transcendent way to more people you have a moral responsibility to take more care with your words so that you're not thoughtlessly denigrating whole swaths of people who need to at least hear from you or hear a perspective that you have to offer that's immensely helpful

It was discussed several times throughout the podcast, particularly Rule 3: "Do Not Hide Unwanted Things in the Fog", which was said to be a guide to confronting fears and difficulties, and the promise of value as a result.

"

Do not hide unwanted things in the fog, which seems to me we live in a constant state of distraction now.

It's like, well, you should lay out an ideal, you should pursue an ideal. Why wouldn't you?

Don't hide things in the fog. You have to let yourself know what you want.

We really do our best not to lie to each other about anything and we also have fights when they're necessary we don't let things we don't hide things in the fog that's the title of chapter three of my new book don't hide things in the fog and we work through our issues.

Rule three is mechalus favorite do not hide unwanted things in the fog right and this is the opposite of hiding unwanted things in the fog this is confronting them and that's a variant of St. George and the dragon.

So chapter two is imagine who you could be and then aim single-mindedly at that.

And for me after being on tour with you, I think that's something that got into me through osmosis, that I would be on stage.

And then just that, it helped my aim. It helped my aim. And I wonder how many people just don't know how to aim because they have no experience like that, something like that.

Episode: 158. Minefields and the New Political Landscape |...

Peterson mentioned his new book, 'Beyond Order', which was released in March 2021, that he had been working on during a difficult period, including his illness and his wife's illness.

"

there's a section in here about sanity you know and it's a critique to some degree of psychoanalytic thought because the cycle not that I admire the psychoanalysts tremendously but they tended to think of sanity as something that was organized inside your psyche or let's say inside your brain for that matter maybe even a reflection of healthy brain function but sanity is to large part outsourced and what I mean by that is that if you're fortunate and you're well socialized um other people find you acceptable enough to include you in their networks and then all you have to do is pay attention to the functioning of that network and regulate your behavior as a consequence of the feedback you receive and you more or less stay sane

it's coming out March 2nd and I sort of clung to this like a life raft over the last couple of years while I was writing it

I finished writing this book but I'm not writing right now

the core argument is we are living in a period of evolutionary hyper novelty where human beings are actually the species for which we have the best tools to deal with novel circumstances that our ancestors did not know anything about but that the rate of change has become so high that there is no conceivable way for us to keep up with it and what we are effectively watching decide even in principle yeah that you know the very fact that you can say the environment that we live in is not the one that we were born into that's way too fast

I was obliged to find another illustrator for beyond order and I decided with my team my daughter and my family members actually mostly in discussion to.

I was going to run a contest online and solicit drawings I thought that would be.

I was going to have an opportunity to entertain and interesting and perhaps allow someone an opportunity that they might not otherwise have obtained and so we received hundreds and perhaps even thousands of.
