Waves of Contempt ft. Jordan Peterson
I’ve listened carefully to your Cain and Abel lecture but waves of contempt for existence itself keep
Coming. There is a part of me that revels in riding these waves, but can I harness them for a good? God you
Guys, you ask the hardest questions!
Chorus:
Waves of contempt for existence itself keep coming. (x2)
There’s a part of me that revels in riding these waves, but can I harness them for good?
Waves of contempt for existence itself keep coming

Sacrifice ft. Jordan Peterson
This is the Peter Pan story. Peter Pan is this magical boy, Pan is the God of everything
Roughly speaking. It’s not an accident that he has the name Pan, and he’s the boy that
Won’t grow up and he’s magical. Well that’s because children are magical, they can be
Anything; they’re nothing but potential. Peter Pan doesn’t want to give that up, why?
Well he’s got some adults around him but the main adult is Captain Hook, who the hell
Wants to grow up to be Captain Hook? First of all you’ve got a hook, second you’re a
Tyrant and third you’re chased by the dragon of chaos with a clock in it’s stomach, the
Crocodile, it’s already got a piece of you. Well that’s what happens when you get older

Suicide ft. Jordan Peterson
Ok well
Someone
This is very serious
And I don’t know if I should address it
Because I’m somewhat tired
But I’ll give it a shot
Because it’s important
And it’s very serious and a troublesome question
“I plan on taking my own life very soon. Why shouldn’t I?”
Well I’m going to assume this isn’t a casual question
You know
That’s been put out for the purposes of display
Well the first thing I would say is you have to think very carefully through the consequences of that for other people
So I’ve had clients in my clinical practice who never recovered from the suicide of a family member
Decades later they’re still torturing themselves about it

Strength ft. Jordan Peterson
“You talk sometimes about weak men - ah why are weak men such a problem?”
Well weak people are a problem in general
And I don’t mean physically weak, I mean cowardly and deceitful
I’m thinking more in terms of moral weakness
There’s a variety of reasons, first of all if you can’t support your own weight, let’s say, then someone else has to do it and that’s not good
If you don’t pick a forthright and useful and noble pathway through life then you’ll become bitter and too hurt by the tragedy of existence and then you tend to seek your revenge wherever you can get it and that’s not good
So, it’s a mistake on all fronts, it’s not good for you, it’s not good for your family, it’s not good for the community, it’s certainly not a good medium to long term strategy because life is very very difficult and you have to be prepared for that

42 Rules for Life ft. Jordan Peterson
Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie
Do not do things that you hate
Act so that you can tell the truth about how you act
Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient
If you have to choose, be the one who does things, instead of the one who is seen to do things
Pay attention
Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you need to know. Listen to them hard enough so that they will share it with you
Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationships

Lunchbucket ft. Jordan Peterson
Men don’t struggle for power
That isn’t what men do, not if they’re civilised
They size each other up and elect the competent to lead them
And they do that at every level of society
I worked in a rail crew in Southern Saskatchewan
They’re rough guys, like a lot of them had been in prison, you know
And when you first came onto the rail crew you got a stupid nickname and people teased you
And I remember this one kid called Lunchbucket, that was his nickname ‘cos he came to the rail crew with a lunch bucket that looked like his Mum had packed it
That was a bad idea

Tarantulas ft. Jordan Peterson
This is from Friedrich Nietzsche
You know, of course you probably know that he was the philosopher who announced the death of God
What he meant by that was that the fundamental metaphysics that underly Western culture had lost their foundation
And that the consequence of that would be the disintegration of the idea of value itself, especially of value hierarchies
He thought of the inevitable consequence of that
Or one of the consequences of that
A dramatic move towards a doctrine of radical equality
See because if value itself is destroyed
The value distinction between things so that one thing is not any better than another

What Would You Be, What Would You Do? ft. Jordan Peterson
If you’re feeling heroic and you want to do something for the world
And you want to expand what you understand
You poke your head through what you know and you take a look at the, at whatever structure is out there
And to me this is a re-creation of the Daoist Yin-Yang symbol
You know, with the white paisley here and that’s what you know the dark paisley serpent’s there and the right place to be is right on the line between them
Put one foot where you understand, that gives you security, but it’s kinda dull because hey you know everything that’s going on there and that isn’t what people are like, they don’t want just security
