Gregg Hurwitz – An Invitation to the Intellectual Dark Web
I spoke today with author Gregg Hurwitz (more information about him below). Hurwitz is currently working to rebrand the Democratic party, working to produce an issues-oriented, anti-corruption, practical mainstream narrative and to identify promising Democratic candidates who can hold their own in long form political discussions. This is all in an attempt to end the dangerous polarization and concentration on ever more extreme ideology that seems to be destabilizing political discussion. The video is in large part an invitation to the long-form discussion providers of the so-called Intellectual Dark Web to engage with such candidates, so that the public can see beyond the sound bites and spin and impression management and message crafting that has become an integral but pathological part of our traditional low-bandwidth media communication technology. Let's see if we can find political candidates who can shine in a three hour discussion. We're done with the oversimplifications of the traditional media forms. Background: Gregg Hurwitz is the New York Times, #1 internationally bestselling author of 20 thrillers, including OUT OF THE DARK (2019), and two award-winning thriller novels for teens. His novels have won numerous literary awards, graced top ten lists, and have been published in 30 languages. Gregg has written screenplays for or sold spec scripts to many of the major studios (including THE BOOK OF HENRY), and written, developed, and produced television for various networks. He is also a New York Times Bestselling comic book writer, having penned stories for Marvel (Wolverine, Punisher) and DC (Batman, Penguin). He has published numerous academic articles on Shakespeare, taught fiction writing in the USC English Department, and guest lectured for UCLA, and for Harvard in the United States and internationally. In the course of researching his thrillers, he has sneaked onto demolition ranges with Navy SEALs, swum with sharks in the Galápagos, and gone undercover into mind-control cults. Hurwitz grew up in the Bay Area. While completing a BA from Harvard and a master’s from Trinity College, Oxford in Shakespearean tragedy, he wrote his first novel. He was the undergraduate scholar-athlete of the year at Harvard for his pole-vaulting exploits, and played college soccer in England, where he was a Knox fellow. He has increasingly turned his attention to the political sphere, in an effort to end polarizing discourse: · Rebranding the entire Democratic party · Working with a number of candidates and entities, from senators to the DNC/DCCC/DLCC · Effort to get away from gridlock and into solutions --- SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL --- Direct Support: https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/donate Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/jordanbpeterson --- BOOKS --- 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-life/ Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: https://jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning/ --- LINKS --- Website: https://jordanbpeterson.com/ 12 Rules for Life Tour: https://jordanbpeterson.com/events/ Blog: https://jordanbpeterson.com/blog/ Podcast: https://jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/ Reading List: https://jordanbpeterson.com/great-books/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordan.b.peterson/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjordanpeterson --- PRODUCTS --- Personality Course: https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/personality Self Authoring Suite: https://selfauthoring.com/ Understand Myself personality test: https://understandmyself.com/ Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/jordanbpeterson

Lära av Jordan B Peterson
12/05/2023
Självhjälpsklassikern "12 Livsregler: Ett motgift mot kaos" av den kanadensiska professorn i psykologi Jordan B Peterson blandar bibelhistorier, med beskrivningar av humrars liv och personliga historier från författarens liv. Boken främjar idén att människor föds med en instinkt för etik och mening och att ta ansvar för att söka mening över sina egna intressen. Sådant tänkande återspeglas både i nutida berättelser som Pinocchio, Lejonkungen och Harry Potter, och i gamla berättelser från Bibeln. Bokens framgång visar att det finns en stor efterfrågan på vägledning och råd som är rotade i djupare filosofiska och psykologiska insikter. Boken väckte starka reaktioner när den publicerades 2018. Men podden Våra bästa liv har fokuserat på innehållet i boken och försökt bortse från den stridbare författaren. Och vi landar i att man faktiskt kan lära sig något från boken. Jordan B Peterson har blivit en internetkändis och producerat en mängd videor och intervjuer om alla möjliga politiska och sociala ämnen. Han är skarp, stridbar och öppet föraktfull mot sina motståndare, särskilt marxister och "postmodernister", för vilka han hyser en speciell animus. "12 livsregler " är uppdelad i tolv kapitel, var och en representerar en specifik regel för livet. Varje regel är föremål för en djupgående diskussion och analys, där Peterson blandar anekdoter från sitt eget liv med forskning inom psykologi och filosofi.Regel 1: Ställ dig upp med rak rygg och axlarna tillbaka. Denna regel handlar om att acceptera livets utmaningar med mod och självrespekt.Regel 2: Behandla dig själv som någon du är ansvarig för att hjälpa. Regel två påminner oss om att vi måste ta hand om oss själva, både fysiskt och psykiskt.Regel 3: Skaffa vänner som vill att du ska lyckas. Denna regel understryker vikten av att omge sig med positiva och stödjande människor.Regel 4: Jämför dig själv med den du var igår, inte med någon annan idag. Denna regel uppmanar oss att fokusera på personlig utveckling och självförbättring snarare än att jämföra oss med andra.Regel 5: Låt inte dina barn göra saker som gör att du ogillar dem. Regel fem råder föräldrar att uppfostra sina barn med kärlek och disciplin.Regel 6: Sätt ditt eget hus i ordning innan du kritiserar världen. Denna regel uppmanar oss att ta ansvar för våra egna liv innan vi kritiserar andra.Regel 7: Följ det som är meningsfullt, inte det som är bekvämt. Regel sju handlar om att söka mening och syfte i livet snarare än omedelbar tillfredsställelse.Regel 8: Säg sanningen, eller åtminstone ljug inte. Denna regel betonar vikten av ärlighet och integritet.Regel 9: Anta att personen du lyssnar på kan veta något du inte vet. Denna regel uppmanar oss att vara öppna för nya idéer och perspektiv.Regel 10: Var exakt i ditt tal. Regel tio påminner oss om att klara och exakta uttryck är avgörande för effektiv kommunikation.Regel 11: Stör inte barn när de åker skateboard. Denna regel handlar om att låta barn utforska världen och ta risker.Regel 12: Klappa en katt när du träffar en på gatan. Regel tolv uppmanar oss att uppskatta de små glädjeämnen i livet.Bild: Predikan av biskop Bo Giertz.
