  1. One of the examples of tragic events during Communism in Poland. Today, while passing by the msin train station in Gdansk, I saw plaques commemorating the events before Christmas 1970. The communist militia shot at protesting workers from the Pomeranian region who took to the streets and went on strike against a very large price increases, frozen wages& unbearable cost of living. The economy was already in a bad condition in Poland at that time & they fought for their and their families diginty. Dozens of people were shot, the number of victims was underestimated, and funerals took place at night without the participation of the victims' relatives. People associated with the strikes were persecuted for years. Tragic event was wiped out of the history as if has never happened. In the 1980s, the Solidarity revolution began, and mass strikes of workers and students began, despite repressions. These people are heroes. They deserve the honor of memory of their heroism. Countless examples like that on how Communism backfired and much more atrocities. There is so much heroism in Poland ❤.

  4. I'm glad you have got back to God. I also see it in terms of spiritual battle between good and evil. He always builds up the reality and sustains you in your life.

  5. Aristotele versus Plato views in ontology, utopia of pure intellect (we can include transhumanism, scientism & mechanistic worldview in it) versus experiencing, as he calls it, "betweeness"/Gestalt, Logos versus Mythos, what can psychopathology of schizophrenia teach us, what are the consequences of poor processing of emotions ( including defence mechanisms and autism), the uncounscious, consciousness, what is truth, left versus right hemisphere functioning & response to the perceived and processed reality are, amongst other relevant topics, brilliantly described in the newest book by Dr.Iain McGilchrist " The matter with things". I know this book is gigantic but it is worth reading & worth the time spend on it! I think that it might be a great addition to an interesting discussion on this podcast. It is a truly BRILLIANT, comprehensive book. I am finishing the first volume. I'd like to recommend it to everyone who is interested in a complex take on different scientific issues, also relevant to what has been said on this podcast. " There is a clear connexion between the will to power of the left hemisphere of a brain, and a tendency to try to make reality conform to our theory; wisdom lies in conforming one's theory as far as possible to experience". Dr. Iain McGilchrist "The matter with things". Thank you both for interesting conversation! 🤍 Happy Christmas! Peace on Earth! ❤ P.S. Dr.Peterson you must have Dr.McGilchrist back on your podcast!

  7. We traded off richness of life & depth of wisdom for a precision of a pure intellect operating on representations of the reality by means of mechanistic operations on fragmented, limited data and narrow definitions. So sad, we call it truth. In psychopathology to conform reality to our mental illusions - the defence mechanisms.
