49:59 Carl Jung makes it clear he was interested in the Bears of enlightenment why is everybody in Løytnant if it’s a matter of just taking a glorious route and following your bliss that sounds pretty easy what is an everybody in Latin. In order to transform your personality you gotta be discipline integrate that part of you that’s terrible and capable of breaking rules and make a part of you. Lloyd ask Rosie and Yugoslavia and atrocities didn’t have imagination for the type of evil is that signaling a virtue question or stating your cowardice because you’re gonna be a ambassador for in affairs you have to have that imagination otherwise somebody else can beat you. Harry Potter stories Harry’s touch by evils he has a soul fragment Of evil in bedded within him that’s as black as anything that can be that’s how you can talk to snakes without that He wouldn’t be able to have any victory. Unless you can think as an evil person can think you’re defenseless against. Because they’ll go places that you can imagine and then they win. Was Harry Potter dangerous? Was Hermoine dangerous?

56.00 act it out and understand it. If you are around people who are dangerous and discipline you watch your step!

59:44 Discipline and Kids psych - Don’t do anything that makes your child dislike you!

1:06:17 out of military a civilian what’s your next mission! Are you taking responsibility for anything! It’s part of nialism - no real order alleviates you from responsibility.

Neurological systems that underline experience positive and negative emotions that interact.

Hungry so you eat

Moving forward to something worthwhile! It’s something that doesn’t go away. Inventive reward with dopamine if you don’t have enough meaning in your life your more prone to addiction. The purposeless rat more prone to addiction. The more important thing goal you pick that is life affirming… purpose is anelgizic, 1:09:52 also suppresses anxiety. Purpose motivates and focuses you… to remember and pay attention! It quails fear!

Purpose of Philosophical and religious training …. What the hell are you doing in the world?

Nialism - there are lots of suffering! That’s not good! You should do something about that!

Example! Im going to be honest with myself… ask self what am I doing that is hurting others. Is there something ? Your going to get ideas that aren’t self affirming…. Is there something I can do something about? But you don’t want to do it… you won’t get a reward but you keep doing it!

You don’t pray in public what can I do to get rid of something now! How to improve your character! Cain story keep screwing up that will make you vengeful!

So take responsibility! You can do more about it than you think!

Solzhenitsyn - Moral transformation in the camps at Gulag Archipelago. he went over life with fine tooth comb to rectify to atone! ATONE!!

(ATONE WHEN YOU HEAL THE TRAUMA, WHATS YOUR PURPOSE)

There are no atheists in fox holes!

Harry Potter!

1:18:11 PTSD we do malevolent (I’ll will) things we are ashamed at doing! There is a dark part of me that I don’t really like too much… JOCKO - you have to embrace there is darkness in the world and in you! Not try and disguise it not try and make it seem like it’s not there.

Extreme Trauma =>followed by long term resentment => ill will

1:18:48 … the capacity for evil isn’t just you it’s part of humanity! Maybe it’s part of the structure of the cosmos and you happen to stumble over it naively and so it hurt you. Eggypian story of Horus fight with evil uncle Seth tyrant killing gor the kingdom they are gods. Horus looses an eye but gains INSIGHT knows the nature of evil... but he pays a big price for it! If that’s the case for a god how much more is it the case for a man to be damaged …it’s like absolutely right it’s no joke to encounter malevolence.

We all have darkness! We actually have the ability to hurt somebody it’s not all those excuses that people come up with that he was only going theater they were just in a bad mood it wasn’t because of the way they were raised.

He was not only going to hurt her but he was going to enjoy it and if you don’t understand that part the part of you that’s capable of that then well you’re dangerously! Dangerously naïve and dangerous as well because you’re not knowing what you’re capable of!

(SUSAN- I don’t think I was capable of doing what I did but I did them! ) (I want to talk through the wisdom Jordan Peterson is presenting! With Jocko! I am capable of malevolence! We all are! We need to know that and stay vigalent! We are dangerous human beings! I may have a moral compass but I have to accept my history of trauma and flashbacks and seek treatment to modulate the fractured ego State ! SEPARATION WAS A WAKE UP CALL!!! Created HUMILIATION-SCARLET LETTER andTRAUMATIZED FIGHT FLIGHT FREEZE! Followed by inconjunction with HORMONES W/SLM IN MALL SHAMEFUL EMBARRASSED. CR Sponsor!

APOSTLE PAUL- I do the things I don’t want to do…KING DAVID- married the widowed Bathsheba, but their first child died as punishment from God for David's adultery and murder of Uriah. David repented of his sins, and Bathsheba later gave birth to Solomon.

How to be successful. Breaking the loop. 1:28:53 John Paige two system moving toward a goal … compulsion ( acting on force) vs voluntarily (acting on self more efficient) you want your interest to be in line with the interest of the other person so you don’t have to worry about the integrity of the deal it’s like everybody has reasons to keep it thriving!

1:29:54 CAPITALISM The idea of somehow that capitalism is predicated on the Tierney of the people at the pinnacle that happens when it gets corrupt but it doesn’t happen at all when it’s working properly because deals that are based on mutual self interest and group interest simultaneously have to be enforced usually with lawyers and then you’re you’re done and that’s actually incredible.

WHAT IS MY PURPOSE 1:33:24,you want people who are among at thing they think are valuable. Working there are no matter what it is that they’re doing and you know you know often jobs are repetitive and doll and difficult and challenging and all of that or you wouldn’t be paid to do them right they’re not all fun and games but if you can see that the less intrinsically interesting things that you’re required to do are related and some directly intelligible way to goals that you regard as valuable than that tags those activities with those with this dopaminergic kick so you need this hierarchy of values. Just like here’s what I’m doing with my life here’s my job here’s why my job is important to me or maybe it isn’t and then you have to quit and go find a new job but that’s because you might discover that too.

2022 GOAL SETTING

1:34:52 Our life is a story a goal and a beginning point! I had students write an autobiography! Breaking life into epochs and describing each positive and negative epoch. What they might do to reduce the ball is a possibility of the negative in the future and to capitalize on the positive which is the purpose of memory by the way and then also to write a plan for the future OK first of all you have to put yourself in the right mindset you’re trying to you’re trying to take care of yourself like you would care for someone that you care for now. That’s a hard mindset to get in to because people like their pets better than they then they like themselves often. And so you have to have a vision vision would be like 3 to 5 years down the road if your friendship networks were configured properly what would that look like if you were pursuing the career that would be appropriate for you and sustaining for you what would that look like how are you going to educate yourself how are you how are you and how are you gonna take care of yourself mentally and physically what do you want for an intimate relationship and how are you going to handle Temptations like alcohol and drug abuse because they take people down pretty frequently so you have to do is think about OK what could that be like if you had what you needed not some wild fantasy but realistic and what you needed. Now right for 3 to 5 minutes and what your life will look like 3 to 5 years down the road if all of this came together and then not do the opposite so imagine all your weaknesses and all of the ways you can go down the wrong path and then imagine that gets the upper hand.

So writing this out this gets you focused on the things you do want and not on the things you don’t want! So you can run away from the things you don’t want and you can run towards the things you do want that gets your anxiety behind you instead of in front of you maybe you’re going to go do something difficult and you’re afraid of it and then you think well if I don’t do this and I’m gonna end up there it’s like oh OK that’s so terrible… And this little terrible is nothing so then in the next part of the exercise you turn that into an implementable plan you know and you right about why your life would be better and why your family life would be better and why your communities life would be better.

1:51:11 you have to take yourself seriously and you have to know that you’re a monster and and that you’re capable of terrible things and that it’s that you have a responsibility to understand that to incorporate it to constrain it into discipline it and then to work for the alleviation of suffering and the constraint of malevolence and if you understand that then you can turn your life into a noble enterprise and then you will have some self-respect which beats the hell out of self-esteem in my estimation so and I don’t think that a difficult message for people to understand and I think they know that at a fundamental level and I think at the moment they’re starving to death for it.

LOVE AND TRUTH 1:52:37 cultural Christian ethics substructure of western ethics there’s truth and there’s love they have a date tent nickel meaning and if you know that then it kind of reignites their power I love his decision that being is worthwhile and should and that you should struggle to support and improve it and that’s not a trivial thing. Because being is rife with suffering and you know everyone dies everyone gets sick like it’s brutal and it’s brutal as easy to turn against it and so the idea that you’re going to volunteer. Except responsibility for that assume that it’s good and or act as if it’s good and try to improve it is no trivial matter and that means you have to scour out the resentment and the arrogance and the deceit and the primarily by life is very hard obviously but we’re not doing everything we could to make it better and we’re off to doing things to make it worse so so even if it is suffering which is true we have no idea how much we could ameliorate that if we all put our efforts into it and so that’s a genuine question it’s like yeah there’s reasons to shake your fist and curse God I mean everyone ends up in a situation like that someone they love gets a terrible illness and disintegrates before their eyes and you know maybe they’re a really good person and they’ve done nothing you would think of deserve that and you and that terrible fate is visible upon them it’s very difficult not to get cynical and angry under such circumstances win but then well that’s takes you down a very bad road if you do that but it doesn’t it doesn’t change the fundamental question it’s like if your life is and everything you do you think it should be you have to ask yourself if you’re doing everything you can because you actually don’t get to make a judgment about the structure of being until you do everything you can and I would say that’s love essentially that’s the decision and then truth is the best strategy with regards to retained that attainment and how could it be otherwise like if you’re going to contend with reality you bloody well better know what it is you know when you know it’s like the truth the truth of existence is brutal and bitter and so to be able to face that and to admit to the things that you are into to communicate them with with other people especially in an intimate relationship it’s like no that’s no cowardly morality that’s not the morality of a coward is quite the contrary Nietzsche said that you can measure the spirit of a man by determining how much truth he could tolerate it’s like that’s right thing way of thinking about truth.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES 1:58:03 Carl Jung said people modern people don’t see God because they don’t look low enough I really like that idea if you’re in a little place the opportunity that presents itself to you is going to be low and it’s going to be very tempting to you because you’re arrogant resentful to say well that’s not good enough for me and it’s like well do you have an alternative if you don’t have an alternative than an inch up his an inch up and it’s the right trajectory you know and so that’s humility that’s like you’re low you take what you take was given to you and you see it if you can make it work and that thing is that works way faster than people think.
