➤➤Transcript:
Well there isn’t any difference between the fool and someone who’s courageous, right, from an archetypal perspective. Abraham is a fool, obviously, when he starts his adventures. I mean, the story lays it out in that manner. He’s far too old to be leaving home, for example. He’s a late bloomer. You know? And then he has a lot of catastrophic adventures along the way. And certainly you could imagine that had you encountered him when he first encountered the famine in the land of strangers when he first went out, the idea that he had followed his misguided intuitions would have been self-evident.
But, in the Abrahamic stories, there is this call to get out and do.
And that’s it! And the thing is, is that one of the things I’ve learned, to make it concretely, is that I’ve done a lot of different things in my life, and every time I did a new thing I was a fool. I did it badly. I was an imposter. Right? Because when you first start to do something, you don’t know what you’re doing.
But that’s okay. That’s an acceptance of your vulnerability. Right? And your ignorance. That’s humility in some sense-the willingness to be a fool in the land of strangers. That’s it. The willingness to be a fool in the land of strangers. And that’s an act of courage. Because you also reveal your vulnerability to the world by stumbling around. But as long as you’re stumbling forward then you’re going to move forward. Now how do you do that more concretely? You aim at an ideal. You aim at an ideal that’s beyond you. Now maybe you don’t aim to begin with at an ideal that’s so beyond you that you’re crushed by its magnificence. Maybe that’s-that’s too demotivating to move you. But you could at least conceptualize yourself as the you that you are with fewer of the faults that you know of. And that’s a good start. And I also think that’s associated with the idea of humility. Take stock. Figure out how it is that you’re not who you could be. And then move in that direction. But maybe with each slap you’ll straighten up a little bit. Especially if you listen-even to the people who are slapping you-because sometimes they’re the ones who can reveal for you very quickly where it is that you’re weak and insufficient so that you won’t have to be that way in the future.

@Psychonaut Common sense isn't common. It's sometimes nice to hear another speak ideas that may be common sense to you, but not overly present in the world. I used to say the same thing; "He's only saying stuff that everybody knows already." Guess what? Not everybody is wired the same. It's nice to know you're not alone sometimes.

here I am stating after the video “ but one have reached an age which feels unbearably to be seen as vulnerable “ even when i know JP is 100% right im just too weak to swallow the pain with my pride at the age of 25 i had enough pain in my life but i still haven’t learned much and became the person i wanted to be

Thanx.
In a moralistic perspective, a fool or a useless idiot is essentially the same thing as a legend that is yet to be born - especially if you're striving for a higher good that promotes the wellness of survival and growth of oneself and a burning desire of wanting the same for others. So keep chasing your dreams and let both the naysayers and mother nature knock you down because it's another lesson to get back up in new and evolving ways. That progressive step-by-step acquisition of pain, learning and strength is required to weather and manage what continually comes next in your journey. Nothing that comes your way is useless when you embark on a meaningfully transcendent quest - it's just all useful but in various, interesting, different ways.

One thing humanity never learns, No matter how many times humanity gets slapped down, is to never "believe" those who claim authority. For those who claim authority are the most dangerous people one will ever encounter in this life.

@@drummerboy737 Belief, for humanity only knows what they are told and 95% of what we are told are lies. The only real valid truth is experience and if all you know is what you are told, this is not valid. Societies end up criminally insane for they do not know right from wrong, humans stopped feeling because of the intentional design of all societies.Societies are designed by those who desire authority and only the victor writes history. Now here we are today where almost no one knows anything from experience, then believe what they are told. even if they can't even validate it.
If we knew what we have to do we all would be brilliant, but it is the act of COURAGE to accept that "We DON'T" know what needs to be done and still move forward with that little voice of soul
This is what makes Anime protagonists so appealing.

Mr. Peterson, I think about sale my apartment, and to buy with this money Apartment in USA, and go to live beside my sun,and my grandoughters I file so alone, that I must do something, to have my family beside me.. So if you read this letter, I must say that your speeches help me to have The power to do something about my life, even it’s hard for me , to live My country that I love so much, and go to USA. But to be beside my family it’s more important. That you again Mr. Peterson.
What is the future???? nothing,not a soul no anything... What is nothing???? it's out of the minds,So everythings is happened is out of you life.What is life???? It's born and gone.Be happy,GOD bless you.
The most difficult part of this is being crucified for every mistake you make along the way. Speaking from experience, being the guy everyone’s eyes go to collectively in blame when something’s gone wrong. Being the “go to” scapegoat to blame for every wrong thing, no questions asked. In that sort of position, one can do no right - only work and wrong. And men aren’t commended for their work, as their work is expected of them.

I was a fool for love and I do it again, to be the master of her love, my sun yearns its cover by her moonlight- and when she’s cold and dark, I’d give light and warmth by my son shine. The heroes journey begins again for me, in my middle age & in a new career- that beckons from construction to science in a new city 🌃 She left me feeling empty Cold and alone, my mind got up and left me. I wish she’d only of tasted me, but tested was all she got from me. The results was what I failed, see🧐🙏🤮🎣🐁🧠

Abraham was an extraordinarily wealthy man with a hot wife who everyone is hitting on for the rest of the narrative(even her name indicates that she was the favored daughter of her father, in which case he would not marry her off to any old dolt). These, along with other details in the story, set Abraham up as having been the head of his clan...which is why it's set up to be so surprising that he would put that all on the line to leave. Hence, the line later on in narrative, "Abraham trusted God and it was credited to him as righteousness." Yes, he makes missteps and has to grow throughout the narrative, but he doesn't start off as a bumbling moron with nothing to lose. Any and every Bible commentator worth their salt for the last 200 years, Christian, Jewish, or secular, could tell you that. Jordan makes excellent and helpful psychological points and I admire him immensely, but that makes it all the more perplexing to me how wildly incompetent he is at handling the intended meaning of religious texts. Every time he references any religion, be it daoism, bhudhism, Christianity, or any other, what you basically get is Carl Jung's philosophy using those religions as a sock puppet rather than an honest reading of those religions.
