Hello,

In this week's edition, I look at why you should thoughtfully consider the future. Christopher Rufo and I talk about how creative the Left has become, the filmmaking behind documentaries, ideology in academia, and more. I also pull from the archives a practical answer to how a man can get a woman's attention. 

Advice

What you already know is not sufficient to guide you into the future because the future is different from the past. Not only are we not clockwork machines, but we cannot be because a clockwork machine, which operates according to principles that have already been established, cannot compute its way forward into an indeterminate reality. 

And the future is not entirely indeterminate because it is constrained by the past, but it is indeterminate in many ways. The future is something like the possibility of multiple pathways forward. That is one way of looking at it. 

If you are walking across a field, there is an infinite number of directions you can take across the field, and the future is the space in which those possibilities are latent before it becomes manifest. When you look at the world, you might say, “Well, I am confronting the actuality of the present world.” But your apprehension does not really work that way. 

What you apprehend are the possibilities that make themselves manifest in that determinate space in the present. You grapple with the possibilities; you grapple with the future.

Beyond Order 2023 Tour

Three brand new tour dates have been announced for May. Get your tickets here.

Jordan's new 5-part series, Vision & Destiny, helps individuals find their purpose, build identity, and achieve their best vision. In the latest episode he explores sex versus gender identity, why it has been causing confusion in society, and why it is inexcusable for licensed professionals to endorse subjective sex. He adamantly disagrees with compelled use of pronouns, as it hurts people's integration into society. Episode 2: The Identity Crisis of Vision & Destiny is available now, exclusively on DailyWire+.

Imposing Limits on the Woke? | Christopher Rufo | EP

Christopher Rufo and I discuss the creative left, the world of documentary filmmaking, how ideology has seeped in and taken hold of academia, and how Rufo, among others, is taking an active role in fighting back through legislature.

From The Archives

At the Wheatland, California, stop of Dr Peterson's Beyond Order Tour, an audience member asked him how to get a woman's attention. A little hygiene and a decent haircut go a long way.
