Hello,
This week's edition covers the 3 principles to look for in romantic partners; Alex Story and I analyze overpopulation, the politics to weaponize our totalitarian impulses; and also, from the archives – plan a life you'd like to have.
** 3 Principles to Consider When Selecting a Romantic Partner:
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Operate truthfully.
This is foundational. Cultivate trust in a relationship by being transparent about every action you make in your life. To start with, be honest with yourself first. And then share with your partner who you are and what you stand for. You need to constantly evaluate if your actions create trust in your relationship or subtract from it and vice versa.
2. Ability to negotiate.
The right person is someone you can negotiate with because there will be differences between you and them. And there should be because that means that the two of you are bringing different skill sets to bear the problem. That means that you have a more diverse range of potential responses, which can be good, but also that there will be conflict. Can you negotiate through the conflicts, and will the other person stick to their negotiated solution? If you find someone like that and they're of approximately the right age, and everything else seems to be in order, then that's a great sign.
3. Compatibility.
You don't want too much mismatch between you and your partner on the five fundamental dimensions. So, for example, if you're really extroverted and you have a really introverted partner, you're going to engage in continual conflict about how much social activity the two of you should subject yourself to. It's very, very difficult for people who broadly differ on those dimensions to come to a consensus because it's not just a matter of opinion, right? It's a matter of difference. This is why it's useful to understand your personality; it gives you a better crack at finding someone that you can actually live with over t

"Well the reason that discipline is necessary is because you're a mass of competing short-term interests and so the question is then well which short-term interest should win out and the answer to that is well none of them." ([link removed]) (

Plan a Life You'd Like to Have | Jordan B. Peterson
Dr. Peterson:
"People might say 'well I don't want to know when I fail because that's painful so I'll keep myself blind about when I fail' that's fine except, you'll fail all the time. Then you just won't know it until you've failed so badly that you're done and that can easily happen by the time you're 40. So, I would recommend that you don't let that happen."
