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

The domain to the transcendent

...that's to put it properly

Every value system produced a hierarchy.

The relationship needs to be retooled at micro levels, constantly.

A real piece of art is a window into the transcendent

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

Face the demands of life, voluntarily. You respond to a challenge, instead of bracing for a catastrophe.

The Trudy tree that constitutes you, is going to remain viable and healthy, from the bottom up.

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

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

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

When people say their lives are meaningless. That isn't what they mean. They mean 'I'm in pain and anxious all the time'. Those are meanings. You don't get neutral, that doesn't happen.

Even if you do happen to be that avatar of moral purity that you claim implicitly, the probability that you'd get to act out your goodness in relationship to those possessed by your ideology is zero.

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.

So much chaos and pain in their life, or their emotion systems have become so dysregulated that it's begun to pop up in their life (when people wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.

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 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.

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.
