2017 Personality 08: Carl Jung and the Lion King (Part 2)

In this lecture, I finish my analysis of Disney's Lion King, which provides a dramatic representation of many of the archetypes identified and analyzed by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, student of Nietzsche and Freud, and originator of analytical psychology.

The answer seems to be to be because he tells the truth, same with Jordan.

Openness + neuroticism. 4:44 Personality and political belief. How open borders should be... Openness vs Conscientiousness 7:33 (Cambridge Analytic) Big 5 + Marketing + AI We're only wiling to hear what we want to hear. We cut ourselves off from feedback.

You must dialogue with people you disagree with... they're the only ones who are going to tell you what you need to hear. 10:10 [GOLD] Using fantasy to organize your world... What artists do... They are on the perimeter of knowledge structures, extending the domain of human knowledge, that's where open people live. 14:49 Big 5 traits as different kinds of adaptations to different types of niches...

You're probably high in agreeableness ;) 19:52 [GOLD] Encountering something that you don't understand (pure malevolence). It won't let you go until you figure it out. Memories more than 18 months old, with negative emotion still there, that's a mini PTSD [GOLD] "People are basically good." Then you encounter someone who is not good... Writing to sort out your past... 29:38 Failure in trying to learn new things, a perfectionist won't try new things, a bad first draft is necessary... 49:17 What are the factors that encourage turning into a tyranny?

    This statement opened my eyes too. I haven’t worked in a 2-3 years because I don’t want to be the “newbie” who looks like an idiot. It really hit home for me when he said it’s even more foolish to do nothing at all for the sake of security. I felt secure in doing nothing because although I felt unsatisfied with life I at least felt “safe” in my solitude. Only to realize it’s not safety, it’s complicity. Like simba when he claimed that having no responsibilities leads to a care free life, when in reality it just makes you look like a lazy pos. Time to utilize the talents I have in a manner that can make me money. I dropped out of college because no matter what class I took, the topic was Trump. It didn’t matter which class it was. Modern day academia is definitely in fact indoctrination and i didn’t have to look very hard to notice that. I had a philosophy teacher talking about “shadow governments” and “Steve Bannon” on day ONE. Same goes for my english professor who spent most of the time “joking” about our “first orange president”. I thought night classes would be different but they weren’t. We had outspoken liberal students encouraging our openly gay teacher into politicizing a health and addiction course. Anybody who asked if he could stay on topic would get scorned. Moral of the story is, I felt defeated after dropping out of college, but now knowing that Peterson is lighting the road to success, I feel more ambitious and content. I saw him live in Rochester in September and it was an incredible learning experience. Thank you to whoever took the time to read this.

    I remember I wanted to learn to do so called aggressive rollerblading - jump of stairs, go down on rails, etc., the problem was I didn't even know how to avoid falling after putting on my new rollerblades. I was 13 and I was sooooo afraid I'm inevitably going to make a fool of myself if I go out with my rollerblades on, because I saw younger kids doing it already.. I believed I'm so old I should've already learn it years ago, I felt like... a fool. Those were paralyzing thoughts to me, today I can't believe I used to think like that as a kid.

    Fairy tales, fables, Shakespeare & ancient Greek tragedies give us archetypes in narrative form, or 'narrativium'. wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Narrativium This Jungian critique of the Lion King does fit nicely in with these other things I've been thinking about, but then it did pop up on my recommended list; KZread knows what I like. 8:07 "...an electronic world where you will only see what you want to see..." Not a bad thing, these ideas add to my vocabulary, but not so much "life saving" (for me). More like stumbling around in the dark encountering malevolence but wondering "What have I got in my pocket?" As it were.

You can't write something with the length of J.R.R.Tolkein's _The Lord of the Rings_ if you rewrite the sentences that much. What is more possible is if he collaborated with a Hollywood screenwriter to make something with Jungian / Campbellian archetypes.

    Hearing all of this conversation about conscientiousness vs. openness makes me wonder if parents who are very high in conscientiousness (to an unhealthy level) can traumatize a child who is of a more open nature. Especially when the child feels the parent's disgust towards what the parent feels is a weakness in the child. Both of my parents are VERY conscientious and I definitely remember as a child feeling that disgust Dr. Peterson talks about directed towards me. I have struggled with low self-esteem and depression since I was a teenager. Thank you Dr. Peterson; that part of the lecture put a lot of things into perspective for me.

This may also be the reason why self-realizations while on LSD or most psychedelics are generally more powerful than the same realizations while not on such drugs. Thank you for your comment, your realizations allowed me to have more of my own.

This minimizes their ability to take more risk, start businesses, travel the world and gain some perspective or do charity work. All things are difficult with a large student debt looming over one's head.

    I believe intro's like myself are social too but have our own borders between us and other humans. I would even go so far to say that nature (living things that aren't humans), roughly, is the spiritual pursuit of a relationship that consists of unconditional love. Basically that we prefer the presence of living things that don't have a "conscious" free will, as they are entirely driven by their innate drives (id) which we might be able to relate to on a level. Maybe a background with separated parents could be a factor, or even the minor social anxiety I "suffer" from .. being too self-conscious makes me think alot about the thought of being watched (judged) by other people. Anyone else who tries to avoid as many people as possible? Negative thoughts about strangers are primordial and instinctive when I am out and about. Sometimes I find myself with a mean grin because of these weird thoughts looking all angry.. I am insecure and there is nothing more important in this world than not embarrassing yourself in public.

    Might be the case, but what I observe in myself is something along the lines of... social environments where you need to be cautious. Like some sort of colonies, small social groups, that go out into chaos. Or maybe we're just more adapted to states of conflict than peace. This might seem like a bit of a reach, but I think being amongst large groups may be more exhausting because of a tendency towards caution or a more alert state (for example, I usually have a hard time maintaining focus, bit of an ADD case, but I always pay attention to what people are doing around me, who's on what terms with whom and how they react to all kinds of "insignificant" stimuli.) I'd even go so far as to say my interest for psychology probably stems from the fact that since a very young age, people have been my "dragons" so to speak. That could also explain the affinity for nature amongst many, since it's not as bad compared to more social environments as it may be for others.

Others began to see me as an asshole since I started setting limits explicitly and stopped being needlessly nice, and in return I was far less resentful of everyone around me. It's difficult to describe how self-actualized I became as a result of these six minutes. Absolutely life-changing.

    I've always been an introvert and I've always lived out in the country. I think Peterson is right about being adapted to Nature. When I'm alone in the woods my awareness is Amplified, which I imagine happens to everyone, fear and doubt fall off dramatically. I've had several unexpected encounters with apex predators, in the wild, alone. There was no doubt or hesitation in my actions and the fear only came after the event was over. Cats are by far the spookiest. Being stalked by a cat makes you afraid and anxious, I don't care who you are.

Then I bought your book and went to rehab. It’s been a year since I’ve drank or done hard drugs. Last year my father had to perform the last rights on me because I was in a coma dying from a fentanyl overdose. I was living a life that was certainly going to kill me. Without a doubt. I was an angry young man. Bitter and sad because I did have it bad. But I decided to change. I decided to clean up my room and stand up straight. Look people in the eye. I’m starting to keep the promises I make to myself and In September I’m going back to College to try again. Jordan Peterson you saved my life with just a few encouraging words. Than you. 🇨🇦

    I've always gotten so deep into the stories of good movies. I always notice how it relates to real life, and see the deeper meanings in them. Especially the battle between good an evil (hero vs antagonist) and how it corresponds to our real lives. I didn't know other people did this to the extent of how deep I go into it. Especially someone has brilliant as yourself. Posting your lectures on KZread is truly an amazing thing you're doing and I couldn't adequately express my gratitude for it.
