On Living Together (as Opposed to Marrying)
The following is from a draft of
Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life
(Estimated Read: 2 Minutes)
Consider the statement implicit in living together, prior to marriage: "You’re good enough to live with, and attractive enough for temporary sexual purposes, but I want to hold open the possibility of trading up if I’m fortunate enough to find someone preferable to you (someone sufficiently deluded to accept me as a partner, under such conditions)." Contrast that with "I am willing to stake my future on our joint integrity, and to risk building a life with you on that foundation." If you had to choose between two potential partners on the basis of those alternate explicitly stated principles—one abiding by the former; the other, the latter—whom would you choose?

Erich Neumann draws on ritual, mythology, art, and records of dreams and fantasies to examine how this archetype has been outwardly expressed in many cultures and periods since prehistory. He shows how the feminine has been represented as goddess, monster, gate, pillar, tree, moon, sun, vessel, and every animal from snakes to birds.
In this lecture, Dr. Peterson discusses the manner in which the fundamental symbolic archetypes (particularly those dealing with the Wise King and Tyrant) are hijacked for the purposes of propaganda. Ideologies are parasites. Their hosts are archetypes. Knowledge of the underlying archetypes can produce immunity against ideological possession.
This is a never before seen 2+ hour-long interview with Dr. Peterson. The interview was filmed to be included as part of a documentary by Dutch National Media outlet VRPO.
Topics that are discussed within the interview include Male and Female dynamics in the workplace and broader culture, modern Feminism, the myth of an oppressive Patriarchy, and more.
"We talked to Peterson on the 4th of June 2019, in Toronto, Ontario. Since there were some breaks (for adjusting the camera and for having coffee) during the interview, it consists of multiple takes. Apart from leaving out the breaks themselves and making the transition between breaks more fluent, no further editing has been done."
Our good friend Jocko Willink has started a new podcast with his friend Daryl Cooper. The goal of this podcast is to unravel what is happening in the world today and try to find the root causes of some of the issues that are currently in the foreground.
In this first episode, Jocko and Darryl discuss the "beginnings" of the war on terror.
