“In the West, we have been withdrawing from our tradition-, religion- and even nation-centred cultures, partly to decrease the danger of group conflict. But we are increasingly falling prey to the desperation of meaninglessness, and that is no improvement at all.”
Jordan Peterson
Well, there is ONE thing you learn by blaming others for your problems, that it’s a waste of time.
Part and parcel of blaming others is self-pity, which I believe is the most debilitating emotion there is.
Wow! In the video Jordan Peterson sounds much like my 2nd sponsor in AA. He said so many of the phrases that I first heard when I entered AA some 3 decades ago. The world isn’t the problem. I am. Hence the 12 steps. Thanks, Donald! Always a good reminder.
Buy Jordan’s great new book ’12 Rules for Life’–an antidote to chaos. Read it, give it to your kids. Jordan is a perfect guru for our times. He–in his own way–has become a key “religious” leader for our time. His YouTube offering are terrific. Try it, You’ll like it. Here he is on Trump’s smarts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5Rrjg9T9Cw
Based dad strikes again!
It says something about our society that so many people are looking to this guy for the guidance and wisdom their father should have imparted. Good for JBP for his efforts.
This group I’m sure will also enjoy his recently released discussion with Ben Shapiro.
Jordan Bernt Peterson is a gentleman and a scholar, a patriot with good will for the common good, a majority of one. Jordan Bernt Peterson is to Canada and the world what Joan of Arc is to France and the world.
“Only for his own sins shall a man be put to death” Ezekiel 18:20
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. …. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; Deut.24:16
A son will not be punished for his father’s sins, and a father will not be punished for his son’s sins. The righteousness of the righteous person will be his own, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be his own. Ez. 18:20 NABRE.
Art. I Section 9: No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.
Art III Section 3: The Congress shall have the Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted…The Constitution for the United States of America.
The Constitution for the United States of America is written for the Person.
The Constitution for the United States of America cannot be interpreted for group identity, nor for group ideology, nor for white supremacy, nor for gender equality, nor for group think, nor for communism, the group that forfeits sovereign personhood for a bowl of pottage.
Every lawsuit is composed of a plaintiff and a defendant, unless it comes up against the state, the crystallization of “We, the people”. “We, the people” are all ancestors, all present generation and all of our Constitutional Posterity, all future generations. Our legacy to all future generations, our constitutional Posterity (See: The Preamble) must be TRUTH, JUSTICE and the AMERICAN WAY.
“We, the people” are a sovereign nation.
Thank God.
I swear on the Bible that I’m serious about what I now write.
The Roman Catholic Church should offer Jordan B. Peterson the Papacy after a year and a day training period. This is a condensed, expedited formation period but Peterson is smart and probably learns quickly. He preaches the way of Logos. Here is the formation path.
2 months basic training in a monastery in Europe (Monte Casino?). 1 month deacon at parish. 4 months parish priest. =7 months. Then be a Bishop 2 months, Hermitage retreat 1 month. = 10 months. Then be made Cardinal and sit in the consistory for 1 month. Family visitation 2 weeks. Retreat for 2 weeks. 1 day crowned Pope.
He needs to be put into an RCIA program ASAP and enter the Church Easter 2018. His first communion should be given to him by the Pope. Peterson would then hug his family and then be driven to the monastery for the 2 month basic training. Next Easter (2019) he’ll be crowned Pope.
This would be world changing for the better and prove that the Roman Catholic Church is truly open minded and ecumenical. I literately believe that this would change history in ways unfathomable and have faith it would make the world a better place.
I pray for this.
