  2. Let's see if JP is smart... "Complex and simple biological creatures have to move forward in the world, we need things to keep us alive, we move towards things we value, you move towards things that you value, to move towards a place with advantages, point A may be difficult, life is suffering, people can transcend that by pursuing things of value, people who have no purpose are bitter, social creatures compete and cooperate, thus a hierarchy of competence will develop, people vary in their ability, some are good in the pursuit of value, a minority will be fantastic and many will stack up at the bottom, then you will have inequality, if you demolish hierarchies you demolish value, but hierarchies tend towards tyranny where people with power, it is unjust and unfair, that is not good..." [Let's break this down. Animals move towards things they want...duh. People with no purpose are bitter...duh. Social creatures compete with other social creatures...duh. Some people are better at some things than other people...super duh. Hierarchies can become too steep and unfair where people with power take advantage of people without power...super duh.]

  3. 6:00 People vary in competence and thus there will be a hierarchy, most of the people stack up at the bottom, then you have inequality and that is a problem, to their credit, the hierarchies tend to a form of tyranny, power can attain status in the hierarchy, if it is too steep it is unfair and unjust, the right is admire and support hierarchies, liberals generate new hierarchies... A society formed of conservatives is static, a society of liberals is bad at generating actualities, hierarchy is inescapable, but it produces negative consequence, you need hierarchies, the poor will be a chronic functional problem... [Any fans here, did JP say anything that everyone in the world doesn't already know.?? Liberals are bad at actualities? Stop just making stuff up Jordan and that you know what all liberals do or can or cannot do.] You need to describe and perceive the world at different levels of resolution....you use a thumbnail, it is a type of cognitive process, we need a low resolution theory an agreed upon narrative how we can move forward, that comes in two forms, collectivist form, chimps kill other chimps in tribes, the collectivist view looks at the tribe people belong to... [Peterson trying to word salad the most basic ideas imaginable into some kind of academic discussion.]
