Stop saying those things that make you weak and ashamed. Say only those things that make you strong. Do only those things that you could speak of with honor.

Some Jordan Peterson lore for ya
1. Written in his book Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: “I dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother sitting by the bank of a swimming pool, that was also a river […] Her genital region was exposed, dimly; it had the appearance of a thick mat of hair. She was stroking herself, absent-mindedly. She walked over to me, with a handful of pubic hair, compacted into something resembling a large artist's paint-brush. She pushed this at my face. I raised my arm, several times, to deflect her hand; finally, unwilling to hurt her, or interfere with her any farther, I let her have her way. She stroked my face with the brush, gently, and said, like a child, "isn't it soft?" I looked at her ruined face and said, "yes, Grandma, it's soft."” Source here.
2. On Jordan Peterson’s previous accusations of sexual misconduct, he stated: “Y'know, I've also been accused three times in my career of sexual impropriety. Baseless accusations. And the last one really tangled me up for a whole year. It's not entertaining. So there's plenty to be sorted out, but like I said already, we live in the delusion of a thirteen year old adolescent girl. […] So, you can't even open the damn discussion without being jumped on by uh, y'know, uh-a ray of like, rabid harpies.” Source no longer online but was originally posted here.
3. Peterson dogwhistles that women should not have the right to vote. Source here.
4. Jordan Peterson blames women who face sexual harassment in the workplace for wearing red lipstick, and says that such makeup invites that treatment. Source here, skip to 2:10.
5. Related to 4, Peterson has a long history of retweeting revealing, sexualised, and thirst-trap photos of his daughter Mikhaila, including ones of her wearing red lipstick and lingerie. Example below.

"Say what you mean, so you can find out what you mean. Act out what you say, so you can find out what happens. Then pay attention. Note your errors. Articulate them. Strive to correct them. That is how you discover the meaning of your life."
-Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life
(rule 10: Be precise in your speech)

If you are suffering, or someone else is suffering, that's sad. But alas, it's not particularly special. We don't suffer only because "politicians are dimwitted" or "the system is corrupt", or because you and I, like amost everyone else, can legitimately describe outselves, in some way, as a victim of something or someone. It is because we are born human that we are guaranteed a good dose of suffering. Rearing kids is hard, work is hard, aging, sickness and death are hard [...] doing all that totally on your own, without the benefit of [...] the psychological insights of the greatest psychologists, only makes it harder.

Dr Jordan Peterson: 12 Rules
I have recently really began to appreciate Dr Jordan Peterson lately, and I can’t get enough of him. I stumbled upon a Tiktok video of him explaining his 12 Rules for Life, a book my sister is also currently reading. While I can’t wait to read it, let’s make a post about it!
12 Rules for Life:
Stand up straight with your shoulders back
Treat yourself like someone you’re responsible for helping
Befriend people who want the best for you
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not the useless person you are today
Do not let your children do anything that would make you dislike them
Set your house in order before you criticize the world
Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient
Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie
Assume the person you are listening to knows something you don’t
Be precise in your speech
Do not bother children while they’re skateboarding
Pet a cat when you encounter one in the street
So, the first one is a no brainer. This is basic salesperson training 101. If you do not smile and sit up straight like you are the most confident person in the world before you pick up that phone, you are fucked. Just because the person can not see you, does not mean they can not hear your lack of confidence. Try slouching and looking down while answering the phone, then try sitting straight up smiling.
Second one, this one is amazing to hear. I know that I am a generally really helpful person to others, but I am not so quick to take my own advice. If it treated myself, the way I treated other people...I would listen to myself more and love myself more. Really.
Third, befriend people who want the best for you. Friends are the family you choose. You are a reflection of the people you surround yourself with. If the people around you don’t want the best for you, they will never help you climb the mountain.
Fourth, I love this one from the point of view that one tends to look at the past longingly. Myself for instance, I used to be bolder in school and taking roles of leadership and doing presentations. As I got older, I got more shy and prefer a “behind the scenes” role but complain when I don’t get credit. Use the “yesterday you” to be a better “today you” everyday.
Fifth, I can’t say I can totally identify with this rule. I am someone’s child, I don’t have kids. I would like to think my parents are proud of me, and that I hope to not do anything to make them dislike me.
Sixth, yes yes yes. So many people, especially young people, are quick to criticize the world when there own house is not in order. Focus on getting your own house in order before you focus on things you can’t control. It also helps to give your opinion legitimacy when you do spit it out all the time.
Seventh, according to some ways of thinking-you only have one life. Make this life count, and don’t give in to this trap of instant gratification. It’s the journey, not the destination that matters.
Eighth, if you tell the truth with others...it’s more likely you are honest with yourself. If you can’t be honest with yourself, you are your own worst enemy.
Ninth, this one to me speaks to having an open mind to another person’s insight. It is easy to put people in a box and use interactions with them to justify the box you put them in. If you approach people with an open mind and assume they know something you don’t, you won’t disqualify them before they have a chance to speak.
Tenth, say what you mean. Know how to say what you want, and have the courage to do so. One, the other, and both can be hard. But making the effort to know how you feel and have the balls to say it, will get you farther than you think.
Eleventh, let kids be kids. Some adults don’t ever grow up, and sometimes its because they were not able to be kids. The learning phase of youth is so instrumental to being an adult.
Twelfth, pet a cat! Obviously as a cat mom I love this. From a bigger picture point of view, animals speak a different language. Some would say they don’t speak at all, but notice how some cats won’t approach some people, but the kind ones get all the animals attention? How is it they know a good heart from a bad one? Be nice to all creatures, it will come back to you.
The book is available on Amazon, if this sparked your interest in reading it. I know I can’t wait! Which rule resonated with you most?

🗒️ Dec 18, 2022
I cried a little while reading Jordan Peterson’s Beyond Order last night. In one of his rules, he was talking about how a client in all his naivete could not believe that someone who claims/claimed to love you may want to hurt you. Genuinely hurt you, intentional hurt since they know your weak points and all the triggers.
Because we have been brought up with the belief (religious or other) that people are only good, it comes as such a shock that even facing the evil yourself you don’t want to believe it. You find justification for them and their behaviour, suffering unconsciously with trauma yourself as a result. Sometimes turning into disorders.
No matter which corner you hide this revelation in, it has shaken your view and living oblivious to it to match to your dogmatic beliefs rather than experiential knowledge is only causing perpetual suffering of the same kind.
I’d still like to believe in the good in people. Suspicion is tiresome. I’d trust them, but not in my innocence. I’d trust them knowing fully well their potential to hurt, trust them to keep my faith strong and learn courage along the way.

The careless demolition of tradition is the invitation to the (re)emergence of chaos. When ignorance destroys culture, monsters will emerge.

Ideologues are people who pretend they know how to "make the world a better place" before they've taken care of their own chaos within. (The warrior identity that their ideology gives them covers over that chaos.)
