Hello,
This week's edition will discuss abandoning ideology, Muslim history, and tradition, and why nice guys finish last.
** Beyond Order—Rule VI (Abandon Ideology)
------------------------------------------------------------
Have some humility. Clean up your bedroom. Take care of your family. Follow your conscience. Straighten up your life. Find something productive and interesting to do and commit to it. When you can do all that, find a bigger problem and try to solve that if you dare. If that works, too, move on to even more ambitious projects. And, as the necessary beginning to that process… abandon ideology.

Islam, Christ, and Liberty | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast - S4E56: Mustafa Akyol
This episode was recorded on October 18th, 2021.
Mustafa Akyol joins me to discuss Muslim history and tradition. We touch on subjects like Jesus Christ from a Christian and Muslim perspective, the Virgin Mary's role in the Quran, separation of church and state as an ideology, the dangers of literalism when facing religious texts, and much more.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson:
"I think it is an understatement of the severity of the totalitarian problem to attribute it merely to the religious."
Mustafa Akyol:
"There is another value in Sharia law—[it] was separate from the rulers, even above the rulers."

Why Do Nice Guys Finish Last? | Jordan B. Peterson
Jordan B. Peterson:
"And the same thing applies even in the conscientious domain. It's like if you're too conscientious, you need to learn to relax and let go a little bit and if you're unconscientious, it's time to get out Google Calendar man and start scheduling your day right. Beat yourself on the back of the head with the stick until you're disciplined enough so that you can actually stick to something for some length of time and not living in absolute squalor.
This is something that would characterize someone who's very disorderly, for example, because they don't notice [the squalor] it doesn't bother them. It's like, maybe they can see it but it doesn't have any emotional valence and so it doesn't have any motivational significance."
