If you wait too long, the coffee gets cold, the door closes, you get old, the girls move on, & dreams fade. You must act w/ a sense of urgency today

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

What does a seventy-year-old man who has never left his father's tent have in common with the first murder ever committed? In this lecture, Jordan Peterson works through the story of Cain and Abel and arrives somewhere nobody expects: a precise, almost clinical account of how resentment is manufactured, step by step, in an ordinary person who believes he has been treated unfairly. Along the way he explains why Freud and Jung both thought Nietzsche's solution was impossible, why your reputation is a better place to store wealth than your bank account, what you are actually doing when you tell your son it matters how he plays the game, and the one experiment he ran on himself that he says is worth the price of the ticket on its own. Then Konstantin Kisin comes out to argue that none of it requires God at all, and the conversation turns to the pill, the family, and a question about what has to change in a culture before a technology becomes thinkable. The story of Cain and Abel turns out to be less about an ancient crime than about a door you have already been offered, and whether you opened it.

This lecture was filmed on April 9, 2024, in New York City, New York.

Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when.

That’s why all true learning is “on the job.”

Life is lived in the arena.

[Naval @naval]

Envy is a sign that you ought to be doing more with your life.

[Naval @naval]

The single most important decision you make is where you live.

It drives your business opportunities, relationships, food and water supply, politics, activities, and day-to-day quality of life.

[Naval @naval]

You have one life. Don’t settle for mediocrity.

[Naval @naval]

The currency of life isn’t money. It is not even time. It’s attention.

[Naval @naval]

The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life.
