** Personality & Partners
------------------------------------------------------------
The advantage to being with someone conscientious is, well, they're going to work like mad. But the disadvantage is they're going to work like mad.
So, you know, if you're looking for a partner that you want to relax with or have fun with, or who isn't uptight, then a conscientious person is probably not a very good choice.
On the other hand, if you're a conscientious person and you're living with someone who's really unconscientious, that's good because they might be able to help you relax. But you're not going to be happy with them because they don't work nearly as hard as you do. But even worse, on the orderly dimension, you know, some of you had roommates, and maybe you're more orderly than your roommate.
What does it mean? You're annoyed by mess before they are.
And you don't have to be annoyed by mess much before your less orderly roommate for you to be the one that's always running around picking things up.
And so, one of the things that's emerged from the psychometric analysis is that women are slightly more orderly than men, and I suspect that has something to do with the inequitable distribution of housework.

"You must ask yourself, what's a friend? What do I want? Do I want someone t share my good news with that will celebrate with me? Do I want someone to tell bad news to who'll be upset that something bad happened to me or not secretly happy?" (Share this on Twitter) ([link removed])
"People actually do see the world differently. It's not merely that they that they're possessed ill-informed opinions. The whole point of a democracy is to continue the dialogue between people of different temperamental types." ( ([link removed]) Share this on Twitter ([link removed]) )

"If you're not doing what you want to do or what you think you should be doing, drop the presumption that you know who you are and start to negotiate with yourself like you're a stranger." (Share this on Twitter ([link removed]) ) ([link removed])

Critical Racists | Christopher Rufo | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
Christopher Rufo cast himself into the middle of the controversy as he sought to bring light to the inner workings of American academia and, more specifically, how our institutions have begun to funnel into a new and ultimately detrimental worldview, critical race theory. He sits down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss the subject, delving into the true threat that has breached thousands of publicly funded schools.

------------------------------------------------------------
There Are Ways That You Can Act To Make Things Better? | Jordan B. Peterson
Dr. Peterson:
There are ways of being in the world that justify the world. Then there are ways of being in the world that make the world unbearable. I believe that the narrative that runs through the biblical stories is precisely a dialogue between those two types of being. The optimistic part of the story is that being requires limitation and suffering. There's no escape from that. However, there are modes of being that allow that to be perhaps even more than tolerable. Perhaps there are modes of being that would allow that to be good, and it's a straight and narrow road. It's a very difficult road to tread.
