Don’t Follow Stupid Rules

I told my kids when they went to school, “Look, kids, follow the rules, but don’t follow stupid rules.” Well, who decides if they’re stupid?

That’s a hard question because you should follow the rules most of the time. But now and then, the rules get pathological, and you have to stand up. If you’re going to stand up and break a rule, think about it.

You have to be willing to take the consequences. There are consequences to not standing up to stupid rules too.

And if you think that those consequences are lesser, then you suffer from the delusion that there’s an easy path through life.

Monday Reflections

”Fear will facilitate either freezing or escape but sometimes fear isn't the right response and anger will suppress your fear. Therefore one of the tools that we have at our disposal psychologically is anger as an antidote to terror.” (Share this on Twitter )

“The more articulate person always rises.”(Share this on Twitter )

"There are places that you don't want to go and so you haven't gone there and you haven't mastered it. However, you're very small in comparison to it because you haven't mastered it and so it has this monstrous aspect." (Share this on Twitter )

This Week On The Podcast

How to Make the World a Better Place | Bjørn Lomborg and Ralph Schoellhammer | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

Leftist politicians and the “intellectual elite” prioritize a vague plan for saving earth over the lives of struggling people all over the world. Governments are being forced to press their citizens, straining already fragile economic and agricultural systems, in order to appease a globalist utopian vision. Bjørn Lomborg and Ralph Schoellhammer sit down with me to discuss the faults in this plan, and the people who are suffering because of it.

Join me on DailyWire+.

It's the only place you can get the member-exclusive portion of my podcast, specials like Dragons, Monsters, and Men: a 4-part series on men, masculinity, and the pursuit of greatness; and coming soon, Exodus: the next installment of my well-known Biblical series.

From The Archives

Invite Forward a Hand From the Monster | Jordan B. Peterson

Dr. Peterson:

“Meaning isn't happiness and it isn't self-esteem and it isn't momentary pleasure. It isn't any of that. it's the bearing of a sacrificial burden and that actually works to enrich and ennoble your life in ways that make the tragic element of it tolerable and to and to keep you from bitterness”

Thank you for reading,

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
