Jordan Peterson told a room full of university students the one thing their $200,000 degree was engineered to bury.
Peterson: “If you can think, and speak, and write, you are absolutely deadly. Nothing can get in your way.”
He did not say educated. Did not say credentialed. Did not say employed. Deadly.
The ability to force your own reality into language is not a skill they forgot to teach you. It is the one skill the system cannot afford for you to have.
Peterson: “No one ever tells students why they should write something.”
Because the honest answer would collapse every transaction the institution runs.
You were not taught to write. You were trained to replicate. Follow the rubric. Hit the word count. Reproduce the approved answer back to the grader. Pay six figures for the privilege.
You do not think in ideas. You think in sentences. The precision of your language is the precision of your reality.
Everything outside your vocabulary is not something you disagree with. It is something you cannot see.
Every power structure in recorded history understood one equation. A population that cannot name what is being done to them will never fight what is being done to them.
The modern version does not ban the weapon. It reclassifies it. Calls it coursework. Grades it. Strips it of everything dangerous and hands it back empty.
Peterson: “It’s the most powerful weapon you can possibly provide someone with.”
A person who can force one true sentence into existence without permission has already exited the system.
That is the one graduate no institution was ever designed to produce.
He said this as a tenured professor at the University of Toronto. Twenty years inside the machine. Students called his lectures life-changing. The institution pushed him out.
The one professor who told you what the weapon actually does was removed for the crime of using it.
That tells you everything. Not about him.
About the machine you spent two decades inside and walked out unable to name.
@HealthRanger The EV conversation ends when we have truck things to do….
This world runs on Diesel and that’s not changing anytime soon because EV cannot perform like that.
We’re all entitled to “feel” however we like..
For example I “feel” like my little John Deere Lawn Tractor has headlights for a reason…..
Some of us work a lot…gotta do what we’ve gotta do.
Neighbor last night had his lawn guy going at 630pm
I feel like all lawn work with loud tools must be done between 730a-4p.
Outside of that and you’re rude
