2015 Personality Lecture 14: Existentialism: Solzhenitsyn / Intro to Biology & Psychometrics

This lecture opens with the close of a discussion on Solzhenitsyn, the great Russian anti-Marxist, and closes with the opening of a discussion on biological psychology. Got that?

    As I listen to him I am forced to think of Aristotle and Aquinas' formal and final causes.. the realm of meaning and value. I study Thomistic philosophy and find it wonderfully rich and so consistent with his lectures. A coke can is not aluminum or this round thing as a Newtonian (wrongly) held and is not a quantum phenomenon essentially either.. it is part of the relatedness of everything towards Being itself.

    "A coke can is not aluminum or this round thing as a Newtonian (wrongly) held and is not a quantum phenomenon essentially either.. it is part of the relatedness of everything towards Being itself." Nonsense, it simply depends what level of description is most appropriate/useful for the task at hand and it is perfectly legitimate to classify it as a round object if your concern is solid geometry or as aluminium if you are trying to sort out objects for recycling for example.

    @@helenhoward5346 I gotcha. It's all good. Well, u guess my comment still stands. I think the looming doom has been artificial trumped up for the sake of Ordo ab Chao. On both ends. The pandemic isn't as deadly as they said it is and the economic crisis it will create is nessacarily just as trumped up (no pun intended. Seriously. No pun). It's a power grab. And when they have the power they intended to grab, they will lay off. For a time. The real calamity is closer to 10 years out. Maybe 15 depending on what counter forces can do to slow it down. And that's why my faith has to be in God and not the country that everyone wants Him to bless oh so badly. As for me, I'm going to get out of these Unites States Socialist Republic Empire of America in the next 10 or so years. Before they come after Christians.

    He's not exaggerating about the difficulty in reading The Gulag Archipelago. It's a brutal read, and it will disturb you. I often have to put it down as what I read disgusts me. You can see how difficult it is for professor Peterson to lecture his students on these things, as it is appalling to recount all of these horrific events and the psychological phenomena that led to them. It wouldn't be so hard to recount if he didn't already know that most people aren't going to take these lessons with them out into the world. Even if every one of his students took these lessons and applied them, there are so many more people, millions, who don't know anything about the mechanics of totalitarianism the propaganda and psychological manipulation and treachery that goes with it. It's so easy for it to slip silently right by people. It's incredible.

    At the very end of this lecture, regarding your emphatic (& thanks for being emphatic when you think it matters!) reiteration of psychometric Big 5 theorist's weak claim, I found a list of personality traits on that apparently some people argue DON'T fall neatly into the linguistic systematization of Big 5. That list is as follows--and my question is pretty much "explain how measuring any of the following also measures badly or well 1 or more of the Big 5 traits." THE LIST (derived, btw, from Wikipedia's Big 5 article): religiosity, manipulativeness/machiavallianism, honesty, sexiness/seductiveness, thriftiness, conservativeness, masculinity and femininity, snobbishness/egotism (I prefer the word elitism), humor, and risk taking/thrill seeking.

    We must never forget the evils of Lenin, Stalin, Mao and all the other left wing regimes which resulted in the deaths of untold millions of people. People often know a good deal about Hitler and the Nazis but much less about the horrors of Communism. As a youngster I really enjoyed "Cancer Ward" by Solzhenitsyn and hope to read more of his writings soon. What spirit he and some of the other camp survivors showed, most of us would have been crushed by it all and just given up. Thanks for the excellent lecture from 2015.

    J.B. Peterson, you talk about countries getting rich through honesty - The Netherlands has a very stable and rich economy, and an incredibly honest culture. Is there any research about this nation you can advise as reading material to explain this? Could it be linked to diet? i.e "the physiological effects of an X skewed diet means people tend to be Y".

    The comment on anorexia was new to me. I can see a miscalibration in myself. Not sure what to do, but it's worth reflection. I think our limited ability to try and categorize things subconsciously limits us from seeing the truth and controlling our destiny. Perhaps it's because I believe we can change our stars; even when it's not clear how. This lecture captures some of the worst ideas ever on how. This video exemplifies how man's and mans' state s justice is no justice at all.
