Fix the things you repeat everyday - people view those as trivial. It could be 75% of your life.

Talking about a real relationship, and the opposite as: Primate dominance hierarchy dispute, or a tyrant/slave.

I have never suggested that there is no domain for social action. I'm suggesting that people who don't have their own houses in order, should be very careful before they go about reorganizing their world.

I think, generally, people have things that are more within their personal per-view that are more difficult to deal with and that they're avoiding. And that, generally, the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo-moralistic stances on large scale social issues, so that they look good to their friends and neighbors.

Jordan Peterson calls out the "Pseudo-moralistic stances" of activists

...that's to put it properly

The domain to the transcendent

A real piece of art is a window into the transcendent

If you dispense with the hierarchy, you dispense with the value systems.

Every value system produced a hierarchy.

Intolerance of others' views (no matter how ignorant or incoherent they may be) is not simply wrong; in a world where there is no right or wrong, it is worse: it is a sign you are embarrassingly unsophisticated or, possibly, dangerous.

I'm not going to play this game where you divide people into groups and contrast their oppressions

To negotiate, you have to (1) be willing to bargain (not to compromise, necessarily, although sometimes that is also necessary); (2) know what you want and why you want it; (3) communicate to the other person precisely what you want said and done; (4) listen when you get a response, and modify your request, if necessary; (5) offer the other person the same courtesy.

If you're trying to provide light for others, you have to endure getting burned (compassion fatigue)

Rara avis in terris, nigroque simillima cygno. A rare bird upon the earth, and exceedingly like a black swan.

The true horror of religion. It allows perfectly decent and sane people to believe, by the billions, what only lunatics could believe on their own. If you wake up tomorrow and believe that saying a few latin words over your pancakes is going to turn them into the body of Elvis Presley..you've lost your mind.

If there is a less moral, moral framework. I haven't heard of it.

Salafi Muslim - more of a chance of being a jihadist than a Unitarian Universalist

Want to know about people's beliefs and attitudes. Looking for non-liberal beliefs.

Muslim Ban doesn't make sense. Nor does it make sense saying you can't ask people detailed questions about their world view.
