Hello,

This week's edition explains why you shouldn't lie to your partner, I explore free speech in the age of journalism with Stella Assange and from the archives, standing up and saying what you have to say.


** Do not lie to your partner
------------------------------------------------------------

What you want to have in your marriage, first and foremost, is honesty. I mean the kind of honesty devoted towards thriving and love.

You want someone that you can spar with because you have hard problems to solve. And if the person you're with isn't willing to put forward their opinion, then you only have half the cognitive power you would otherwise have.

My rule of thumb, derived from clinical observations, is that you need to spend 90 minutes a week talking to your partner. You're telling each other about your life, so you know what the other is up to.

You're discussing what needs to be done to keep the household running smoothly. And you're laying out some mutually acceptable vision of how the next week or the following months will go.

That keeps your narratives locked together.

If you're lucky now and then, you might be happy and have a clear enough conscience so that in those rare moments where you are truly happy, you can also enjoy it without guilt.

You aim at something much higher than happiness, then welcome it if you're lucky enough to experience it.


** Monday Reflections
------------------------------------------------------------

"You stumble around like an idiot when you try to do something new. That's why the fool is the precursor to the savior from the symbolic perspective because you have to be a fool before you can be a master. Therefore, if you're not willing to be a fool then you can't become a master." (Share this on Twitter ([link removed]) )​

"You need a goal that justifies the tragedy and malevolence of life that seems to be the bottom line"

"A sacrifice is a contract with the future. But it's not a contract with any particular person. It's a contract with the spirit of humanity" ( ([link removed]) Share this on Twitter

Stand Up and Just Say What You Have to Say | Jordan B. Peterson

Dr. Peterson:

"There's so much foolishness going on in the mid-level bureaucratic world now. That's where all the Tyranny seems to be focused and the reason that it multiplies is that sensible people say nothing when they should say something and what's so strange about that is that there are way more sensible people than people who aren't sensible. They're just not as noisy."
