"Evolution of Trust". Search for it and play it. It is an eye opener and so well done. A little game that visualized the concept. Really really good.

Oh, again I was reminded of that I _again_ had forgotten that you play games in life, not to win _every_ game, but to get invited to more games, and to win some of those. But it is a difficult choice.

Modern day hero’s. I can’t get enough of these guys. Brilliant 👍

Beautifully put.

Great insight.

The Gulag Archipelago chilling in the background. Good hint Mr Peterson, good hint.

Fascinating gentlemen, thank you. This looks like a clip from something else, who is this gentleman Dr. Peterson is talking to?

Is anyone else not able to see the video in the description? Link says the video is private.

I love your work

Long run better than the short term.

I recall an article in Discover magazine back in the early 90's that explored the concept of tit for tat and also tit for two tats. The idea being to turn the other cheek but only once. It was mathematically modeled to show that there was a slight advantage to letting the first transgression slide but to come down hard as hell after the second one. Interesting to hear the discussion decades latter. Still, the game has become so rigged that I have very little tolerance for even tit for tat in today's environment. I think the perception that it's everyone for themselves and there isn't much of a future for many is behind the social violence we are experiencing now.

The problem is when someone is not intelligent enough to see that certain things look like it cost him money (like tax) today, but not spending money on it will cause more problems for himself too. Also, looking at providing education and healthcare as an expense, instead of thinking about it as an investment is shortsightedness. Waiting for someone else to invest money in the economy and be the one who is benefiting from it is mostly what is happening these days. It seems like nobody gets it. If we stretch our taxes as much as it makes sense to pull people up, we creates customers who can shop for things more expensive than only their daily bread. Creating opportunity for them to become the best version of themselves make them more educated, doing more complex things than what you will be able to get hired for after high school. Employers don't have to pay an arm and a leg for special jobs because there is not only 1 or 2 candidates in the job market but 20. The 20 candidates have to make sure that they keep up with new information and education to be the one that gets hired. The more complex, the bigger is your business, the more employee you need with education. The bigger the company, more the owner can benefit from his employees work. From the employers side, there should be more understanding that they are benefiting not only from their educated employees, but from a heathy economy too. It is not only their own geniousity that they can run a carpet cleaning business (simple example, I didn't want to complicate it as to run a private lab or factory). Because someone went to school, they were able to learn engineering and all kinds of science. People have been trying to improve the quality of the carpet cleaner machine's work. It is getting better, less time to clean a room, more efficient, less water, less soap etc... Because the price is getting lower (you need also a market to have enough businesses that are buying machines), the work is done faster and cheaper, the company can hire more people. It is not that the owner paid for that personally. It is what the tax supposed to do. To create work force, to create educated people, to create opportunities to us to make things more efficient. The bigger the business the more it needs these from a modern society, the more he can benefit from our collective achievements. If it would be only about him, if he has absolutely no responsibility to the community and to others: he would be a cotton farmer who lives off the hard work of the slaves. It would be about how much more you can abuse your slaves, how much you don't care about other human beings and their family. I also understand the opposite side too. It makes sense that someone is able to be more organized, willing to work harder than the rest. I am not promoting ONLY the left. But today, (and in the history of our systems when they were creating and improving quality of life) we usually like to praise the one who owns the company and we disregard the one's work who makes the dreams happen. It is a dance of the two truths and the changing environment, our never ending human creativity. If we are intelligent as a human species, we can dance. If not, it is like street fight. Even worse because at least if it is a street fight, one has the chance to win. The fighters don't need more than their physical strength. We need to be doing more for our economy, for the future of our children, our spices, the health of our earth and of course all living beings. It should not be that the people who have only the ability to fight it like they are doing UFC are promoted or having them as icons. We need dance teacherS who have different risk worthy ideas that may work for all of us. Not everyone who thinks they are UFC materials are UFC materials. Many are closer to be in the mindset of a slave holder and the one who would end up on the ground if he ever had to only rely on himself with absolutely no supportive environment. But we can't wait for that to be proved. Anyway.... It is not street fight, it is a lovely, exciting dance. You can enjoy it so much, you didn't even notice that you are exhausted and your pantyhose have a run up to who knows where... Dancing is good for all of us, using a UFC mindset harms all of us. Even the UFC material. I like dancing... unfortunately not a professional level, only a level that is enough to have fun and to enjoy it. hmmm.... I'm lovin' it.

This is an individualistic morality though. What happens when an individual understands this game rationally and figures that what is best for all people is to not play it that way, just like, lets say, how jesus figured that there was something larger than himself?

You let him know that if he betrays you. You can betray him. But don't go too far the purpose is to get both of you out of the situation that you are in. Let him know not to betray through the interrogators

What on earth are you doing? I ask him. Switching peoples license plates. But why? I ask. If the cops want to waste my time by throwing me in prison, I’ll waste theirs with something they hate, which is hours of paperwork. He answered. I felt nauseous. But what part of causality was so hard or was he choosing to not grasp? A cops job entails arresting criminals, and he imprisoned because they caught him breaking the law. Ah, It’s the age old problem, Criminals most often believe they’re innocent even when evidence proves they are not. Picture human beings as two parts. So when we think an assumption that someone harmed us. The average person knows assumptions are not based on fact and so comes up with other possibilities. It’s like criminals just believe whatever thought they think, at which point becomes truth. If they think their innocent they than believe it and so retaliate against the cops.

Then bring back the sword. I bet you see a lot less attempts at manipulation.

Is surprising how ignorant JP is about game theory, but I guess I understand now why his position on individualism.

"Self interest" is essential to the morals of the British political philosophy. The American people, in contrast, are always concerned with the interest of others.

2.15 if correct means it is perfectly fine to sell drugs as it makes me better off, and I make others better off with bribes. Therefore any I care about are ok.

What are your thoughts about the most translated person in history of America. Ellen G White.

First comment

Read all these books and doesn't understand the prisoners dilemma...

MR PETERSON. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MOST TRANSLATED WOMAN AUTHER IN THE WORLD, ELLEN WHITE's WRITING.

That's a very demonic perspective on the matter of morality and life in this world...
