Hello,
This week's edition explains why the good mother fails. Dr. Dennis McKenna and I discuss the science behind psychedelics and why the current pharmaceutical approach to long life needs to change. From the archives, I explore how dating preferences have driven human evolution.
** Jordan B. Peterson’s New Book
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Wickedly penned by Dr. Jordan B Peterson, an ABC of Childhood Tragedy unforgettably depicts the doomed and desperate lives of Adella, Bertram, Cynthia and their cohort of catastrophe. Twenty-six dark and witty poems, each a tragic comedy of innocence and vulnerability. Twenty-six hauntingly beautiful portrayals of injustice and suffering, each from the gifted imagination of Juliette Fogra, illustrator of Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life. If A Nightmare before Christmas or Coraline struck you to the heart, if the gothic raillery of Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies seduced you to smile satirically, if the Brothers Grimm were nowhere near grim enough for you, then An ABC of Childhood Tragedy might just be the book you’ve been pining for. Most decidedly NOT for children. Coming to shelves October 25th.

** Why the good mother fails
------------------------------------------------------------
Freud’s great discovery was the dark mother.
She’s the witch in Hansel and Gretel. The gingerbread house. Lost children. Too good to be true. It’s like a house of candy.
What lives inside the house of candy? The witch that wants to fatten you up and eat you. It’s a cautionary tale about overprotective parents.
The psychoanalysts said:
“The good mother necessarily fails.”
As your child matures, you have to fail more and more as a mother.
Let’s say your child is thirty. You’re not their mother anymore. I mean, obviously, you are, but the relationship has hit something like quasi-peer status. Not entirely, but the child’s independent and able to stand up on their own two feet and take on the world.
The worst thing you can do for someone anxious is to overprotect them. It makes them worse.
What you do for hyper-anxious people is gradually expose them (with their voluntary consent) to increasingly threatening situations. That cures them.

that makes you old so it's dangerous physically as well." ([link removed]) ( ([link removed]) Share this on Twitter

Dating Preferences Drive Human Evolution | Jordan B. Peterson
Dr. Peterson:
"Plenty of biologists have been assessing sexual selection in the last 30 years but it was under stress to a huge degree for a long long time and it is a game changer because sexual selection among human beings I think is a more important determinant of successful reproduction than natural selection.”
