Be A Plumber (ft. Jordan Peterson)
We need to know who the competent people are
And we need to reward them
And even more importantly, we need to tell young people
Hey, there's some hierarchies of competence out there
Like, 1,000 of them
Go be a plumber, man, but be a good one, you know
Be an honest one
Because otherwise all you do is go out there
And cause trouble
We don't need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems
Solve problems, solve problems
[Chorus]
We need to people to solve problems
Solve problems, solve problems
We don't need people to cause more trouble
We need people to solve problems
Solve problems, solve problems

A Part Of The Cosmos (ft. Jordan Peterson)
Let's say you want to sort out your room and beautify it
And let's say that all you have is just a little room
Like, you're not rich
But you've got your damn room
And you've got this space right in front of you
That's a part of the cosmos
That you can come to grips with
[Chorus]
You've got this space right in front of you
Space right in front of you
Space right in front of you
You've got your damn room
And you've got this space right in front of you
That's a part of the cosmos
That you can come to grips with
Well, a room is a place to sleep
And so, if your room up properly
Then you figure out how to sleep

Work Outward (ft. Jordan Peterson)
[Chorus]
My sense is that if you wanna change the world
You start from yourself and
Work outward
Work outward
Work outward
My sense is that if you wanna change the world
You start from yourself and
Work outward
Work outward
Work outward
Because you build your competence that way
It's like, I don't know how you can go out
And protest the structure of the entire economic system
If you can't keep your room organized
[Joe Rogan] Yeah, isn't that an issue with people, though?
That they always want to enact some sort of
Control over the outside world
When their inside is all fucked up

(The next question)
Do you have problems in your life
That you're not addressing that you could solve?
The answer is yes
The answer is yes
Do you have problems in your life
That you're not addressing that you could solve?
The answer is yes
The answer is yes
And it's an easy thing to figure out
You sit on your bed one morning and say, okay
There's some things that
Need to be done that I don't want to do
That I could do
That would make things better by the end of the day
What are they?
Your conscience will deliver those suckers
In no time flat, man

Clean Up Your Room (2019) (ft. Jordan Peterson)
You've gotta be oriented towards something
Because otherwise you're disoriented
You just spin around in circles
And then you suffer
And so do people around you
It's not a good solution
Orient yourself towards something
You have to figure out what it is
What will work for you
What goal would justify the suffering of your life
Start trying to piece that together
You're going to get better at it
But it's a personal process
So, you need a personal place to stand
Because otherwise you're going to be handed
A place to stand on a plate
And it may be one that makes you a puppet
Of someone else's goals
So, I would say, you know, what are the processes
Well, I think what I've recommended to people is

Spirit Of The Father (ft. Jordan Peterson)
One of the things I tend to do is to look at
Symbolic representations
Through the lens of evolutionary biology
Rather than assuming that
These representations are mere superstitions
That play no functions
Like, we have the idea that
There's a deity That's father-like
So, it's a disembodied spirit In some sense
That's eternal
That has paternal characteristics
It's like, okay, well
Strip it of its metaphysics
If you strip it of its metaphysics
And just look at that as a biological phenomena
It's like, what might the idea, that

If This Isn't Nice I Don't Know What Is (ft. Kurt Vonnegut)
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
Music, please
(Nice)
Now
Every
Lecture I've ever given
Has included
My tribute to my Uncle Alex, my mother's kid brother
Who was a graduate of Harvard
And a wise man and just an insurance salesman in Indianapolis
He was childless
But what Uncle Alex found objectionable
About so many human beings
Is that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy
And so we would be sitting under an apple tree for instance
Some July afternoon, drinking lemonade and you know
Talking about this and that and then practically buzzing like

The Questions Have Been Terrific (ft. Jack Kirby)
I did the stories and I did the illustrations
Sometimes, they would send us scripts
But I'd throw them out the window
I happen to be a guy who
Does what he wants
Lives the way he wants to
I love people in general
Even the villains in my comics
To me, are people
There is something in their lives
That makes them become a problem to others
That's how I saw everybody
Whatever I put in my comics
I hopefully feel that this love of people may have been transmitted to them
And help them, and not help them in any way, I'm not a psychiatrist, but
Just giving them another friend
