Hello,

In this week's edition, I look at how you can find yourself by losing your ego. Dr. Judith Curry and I discuss climate change, and I pull from the archives on how to avoid missing the adventure of life.


** Lose Ego To Find Out Who You Are
------------------------------------------------------------

An optimal challenge stretches you to the end of what you could do and then into the domain of how you can transform. You have to be humble and wise enough to understand that you might have to aim pretty low, especially in those places where you are not functioning well. And it might be so embarrassing that you cannot fathom this is who you actually are. You must lose the arrogant ego because it is precisely what is interfering with your movement forward.

It is part of the adversarial process, mythologically speaking, that stops moral progress. You are too proud of who you think you are to notice what you are actually like, which prevents you from changing properly. You do not want to sacrifice that part of yourself. It is probably associated with some delusion that helps you maintain a positive, although very fragile, self-image. In the absence of genuine effort, it is not to be recommended.

You get to know who you are by watching yourself and paying attention. It is not the same as thinking, and it is not imagination either. That is the beginning, and then you challenge yourself continually to see how far past yesterday you can push today and tomorrow.

In his recent podcast, Jordan and Dr. Del Paulhus discuss the Dark Tetrad – which includes Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism. Through the conversation, they define the characteristics of psychopathy, allowing listeners to gain a better understanding of this dark personality trait. Watch now ([link removed]) on DailyWire+ or check out the article ([link removed]) where Jordan defines the characteristics that make a psychopath.

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

"What you do with people who are afraid – and, to some degree, depressed – is lay out what they are anxious about, first of all, in detail. Then you decompose it into smaller manageable problems, and then you have the person expose themselves to the thing." (Share this on Twitter) ([link removed])

"The only way to combat the fear of death is to live fully." (Share this on Twitter) ([link removed])

"One of the things that I think heightens the meaning in your life is to try to do difficult things. Aim high but not too damn high that you cannot manage it. Make sure you break down your aims into reasonably attainable subgoals." ( ([link removed]) Share this on Twitter)

Jordan Peterson’s Message to Young Men | Jordan B Peterson

Dr. Peterson:
"Arm yourself with words, and be precise in your language. Say what you mean. Read great men and great women. Make yourself literate. Get your tongue in order. Get it under your control. Get rid of the 'um's' and the 'likes' and your 'nos' and the pauses. And get rid of everything you say that you only say to impress other people and just see if you can say what you believe to be true. That's an adventure."
