jordan peterson on why people actually fall apart:

1. as a psychologist, you learn something almost nobody expects. people don't come to you with a mental illness. they come to you because their life got too complicated to stay on top of.

2. complexity is the real problem. when it slips beyond your control, it causes suffering. and that suffering is what breaks people.

3. it's almost never one thing. it's three or four hitting at once. you lose your job. the economy collapses. someone you love dies. then you get sick. and you look around and think there's no getting out of this.

4. picture a balloon. blow it up past what it can hold and it bursts at the weakest spot. people are the same. keep piling complexity onto someone and they blow out wherever they're weakest. one starts drinking. another gets depressed. another gets anxiety or ocd. that's the "mental illness." but it's really just collapse in the direction of your weakness.

5. and sometimes it goes further. life gets so complex that people would rather be dead. that's what a lot of suicide actually is. not wanting to die. wanting the complexity to stop.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.

The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.

Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.

If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.

There is just less competition for bigger goals.

This may be a good moment to let everyone know that I control one of (if not the) largest rare earth supplies outside of China. At full capacity it can be 25% of what the world needs. All located within countries allied with the US and the US itself.
