  1. Same here! Peterson saved my life. I was anxious, resentful, vengeful, committed crimes, and wasn't headed in the right direction. Now I'm married, own a home, and have a newborn. Peterson is literally my digital parent :)

  2. A complete 1 hour lecture for free right here on Youtube; what an age we live in! There is such a wealth of information on this platform it boggles my mind why anybody would continue paying for a College education, at least for the didactic years. No wonder the inequalities are becoming so massive with the technology available. Anyone not taking advantage of this will unfortunately be left behind; that's a lot of people right now.

  3. A good man/woman is somebody that wants the best for their companion. I was fortunate enough to find the love of my life and have a son. Nowadays, both of us look at the dating market in complete disbelief. I know it may be unfair to generalize entire generations, but I find people 18-25 to be almost intolerable; mind you I am 29. You can't trust men 18-25. They are completely self absorbed, porn addicted, and don't know anything, least of all anything that can make their lives better. You can't trust women either of the same age. They are married to their own narcissism, expect to be taken care of, but at the same time champion their TikTok/prostitute lifestyles as high status. Then they cry at 30 because their clock is ticking and can't find a good man. Yet they spit on them for 12 straight years as they walked by trying to catch your attention. My wife and I have to be creative in order to properly raise our son and hopefully future 'children'. We live in a neighborhood where the average home-owner is 50-80 years old and there are no children. At the same time, it feels impossible to relate to the younger/nihilistic types. I am the oldest (29) of the children in my family. The remainder range from 12-23 years old. If we go to a family gathering (Easter/Christmas/Thanksgiving) the younger people provide nothing, bake nothing, and give nothing. They arrive at our events as entitled little brats. They invite their skank friends (without our knowledge) that wear mini-skirts to family gatherings, then talk about their drinking and TikTok profiles in front of everyone. It's getting to the point where I want to stop inviting them. They were wonderful as children when I was growing up, but they are something else these days.

  4. Poor diet, prescription meds, social media. Nobody should be surprised by how pathological we've become due to this. Abuse of stimulants and depressants is just the next step in the process for many.

  5. Not sure if anyone had the same experience as I did, but one of the ways I managed to better myself in relationships was to do the opposite of what I was shown in my youth. I was brought up in a suburban middle class household where is screaming, breaking things, and animal abuse were completely acceptable. I can't lay blame equally because my mother instigated and manipulated most of the situations into chaos. She was extremely psychological abusive to both me and my sister. Even at a young age, it was very apparent to me that what they were doing was wrong. Even though they would get in my face and yell that I was wrong 99% of the time and that there was something wrong with my brain whenever I had a creative idea. Mind you this was my childhood; I was very stunted until I finally left. I'm happily married now and having a wife that is middling' in agreeableness has allowed me to say 'no' when it's a necessity. It's also aided in creating boundaries between my parents and I. We don't allow them to come to the house anymore and I only go over when I am of sound energy to do so. You can't let a blood-line determine your life choices. If a relationship is toxic, then people need to learn how to leave.

  6. I'm not religious. Though it seems 'very' apparent to me that atheists are afforded their ability to criticize religion, due to a lineage of religious philosophies that birthed their freedom to do so. I think that's also the point Formula Zero is attempting to make.

  8. I love this! I grew up in a Christian home and largely Christian community. Whenever anything bad happened or we made a mistake; we were punished for it. When we told the truth; we were punished harder. I remember when I found out that girls had vaginas at the age of 6. (My parents never taught us anatomy or sexual education) - which is rampant in Christian communities. We had exposed ourselves to each other and that's how I found out. Later that evening, my parents created a demonic setting by turning all the lights off; except the garage entry light. Then scolded the living daylights out of me and told me that seeing genitals was 'evil' and that I had something wrong with my brain. Therapy might not be the most healthy way to help such horrible traumas. However, we also need to acknowledge that the 'parents' are either absent or complicit in the trauma. We are seeing a mega-wave of parental neglect. They scream and yell at their kids and then give them an iPad to shut-up. Let's not pretend that giving parents back 'ALL' of their capabilities will produce anything that will solve the cultural problem.

  9.  @dafunkmonster  For a rare number of people this is desirable. For many others, primarily women; it's voluntary slavery. By age 30 what happens? They're depressed, don't want to work anymore, and are having problems with fertility. This isn't ideal for a man either. Culture has sold us a big fat lie. "Graduate HS, go to college, work your butt off for 45 years, then retire and be happy." What a load of crap, some of the most depressed people I know are retired. I don't see an issue with short term money goals, but the need for more $$$ never ends. Most people HAVE to work such ridiculous hours to afford all the insanity that they've been brainwashed into needing. This is NOT what humans were designed to do and no manner of motivation or denial is going to change that. When you're young, this might seem plausible. But every day after you hit your mid 20s will a painful day of denial for years to come. That is until people snap out of it.

  12. I've completely remained neutral on this entire conflict. Though when people that I know prompt me to choose a side; I say I'd side with Russia. People have an immensely short memory that they've forgotten this war began in 2014 after the Ukrainian Civil War; props to the Obama Administration. NATO along with the United States aided in overthrowing the sitting administration and installed a new government under Volodymyr Zelensky. You can listen to leaked tapes of US State Department officials conspiring on who they want to be installed in the succeeding Administration in Ukraine; all on tape and I'm surprised Youtube never took them down. Afterwards, the US sold them anti-tank and aircraft missiles to fight a border war against Russia in the east that we know as Donbass. At the same time the Zelensky Administration took measures to persecute ethnic Russians living in eastern Ukraine, which the media loves to hide. NATO set this all up so that the 'bear' would attack after it was poked with a stick repeatedly. They want Russia to be subjugated under their rule, seeing as it still continues to be the closest threat to Europe since the cold war. This is all a power play by the more recently elected left-wing governments of Europe and the United States; I don't blame Russia for invading, but they gave NATO exactly what they wanted. Another excuse to go to war for profit. Could you imagine if China overthrew the Mexican Government, made it a puppet, then sold them weapons to fight a border war against the United States?? Conflicts like this are extremely lucrative, especially if you are an official sitting on US foreign policy. You invest in commodities one day; then you enact sanctions on that same commodities the following. However, this also completely ignores the large amount of money laundering that takes place on the Congressional level. Hundreds of billions of dollars don't actually go to research 'frogs on cocaine' or 'transgenderism in Pakistan'; aid to Ukraine anyone? No, it's a medium to give tax-payer dollars to foreign governments and international terrorists in exchange for favors, pure and simple.

  13. I think it's foolish to jump to the conclusion that the parents are completely in the right. Children like this don't become this way from loving parents. They become like this from abuse, trauma, and horrible parents. Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. As someone who grew up with an NPD mother that tormented me for 20 years of my life. She would easily sit in front of other people and play dumb/manipulate conversations about how I was problematic and that they did everything with 'love' in mind. So excuse me for being a skeptic and not jumping on the 'poor parents' bandwagon.

  14. The problem is, for the first time in history women aren't the ones setting the price. Rather the other way around. Men can replace their biological urges with pornography and tinder. While a woman cannot replace her urges to produce a child. It's created a landscape where women are working until 30. Then when they get the urge to have children, they quickly realize that the family oriented men were all married off years ago. The only men remaining in the selection pool are sociopathic users that only want sex with no responsibilities. Therefore, those men set the price. I wish more women would wake up to this. It's destroying an entire generation of Americans.

  18. Parents in general have completely ghosted and neglected their children. I'm not saying there aren't problem with the Universities or whatnot. But most of these problems are present LONG before the kids go to college. The parents are NOT alright...

  19. I'm not trying to be rude, but much of your writing is redundant. It's not that I don't understand what you're saying, but I feel as if I'm re-reading the same thing written three different ways in every sentence. That could be a start if you're looking for any constructive criticism; clear and concise presentations. Unfortunately, on a societal level most people have a hard time paying attention. My own parents can't remain attentive to a conversation with either me or my sister for longer than ten seconds before interjecting or losing interest all together. Plus, I'm well aware that it's not just my parents, but a large majority of people. One theory behind the decline of human attention is the dopamine response to social media and other technological devices. If you're used to 3 second "GIFs" on social media for short term kicks of dopamine, then I would reckon that it is decreasing the ability of that person to produce an attention to detail. That's probably why you might be frustrated with some I figure.

  20. Bitcoin is a cute idea, but it's biggest problem is how to manage the energy/exchange costs. Unless BTC can figure out a way to be cheaper to process than VISA (for example). It will never be a national or global currency. Currently, it's just a toy.

  22. I really admire your efforts, but I think you are creating too big of a goal. This kind of behavior is deeply rooted in childhood development between 2-5. It's almost impossible to change, unless the child undergoes willful growth, self-reflection, and therapy to a certain extent. My sister (21 years old) is an absolute user and manipulator. This is because my mother was an NPD as we grew up and made her the golden-child, while everything was blamed on me. She learned that the only way to be loved is thru financial offerings. I have always budded heads with my mother, but my sister learned how to get want she wanted AND appease her at the same time. So now, she has become a full blown narcissist that uses people to get what she wants; then throws them in the trash. I spent YEARS trying to correct her behavior and become a beacon of positivity in her life and growth. It all went to waste when she began using me when I offered to spend time with her and help her with school and her endeavors. The moment I told her 'no' when she wanted something; she ghosted me. My wife and I cut back on Christmas this year due to inflation and my sister made a big fuss about it. Both my mom and sister jumped on the 'you don't care about family' train when we opted not to receive gifts or give them a few months ago. Win your battles when you can, but don't waste your life attempting the impossible. My dad wasted his entire life being married to my mother (abused and belittled) for everything he ever did. Thankfully, he's contemplating divorce so that he can finally live his life and not have my mom suck his pension dry. Unfortunately, as he falls out with mom; he's falling into my sister's trap now. She fully expects him to take care of her indefinitely thru college and pay off her bills. The moment he does; she'll ghost him out of her life as well.

  23.  @thehubrisoftheunivris2432  I admire your convictions and I wish you the best. Just don't waste your entire life and earnings taking care of people that don't give two shits about your well-being. Feeling that you must take care or support abusers in your life is a 'conditioned' response from child-hood trauma. Emotional care for them, but not for you. As I said, I wish you the best; just remember that you have a life and future too!

  25. This is one of the reasons I really want to leave North America. Once the snowball gets rolling on insurrection, growing inequalities, and anti-social behavior; it's nearly impossible to stop. Gen Z and Gen Alpha are going to introduce a very dark dystopian future. They are completely apathetic and feel that euthanizing the unborn and unwanted persons is 'mercy'. I find it morbidly hilarious how SCREENS haven't 'connected' us, but created entire generations of antisocial people that are 'unable' to connect.

  26. I think this is much more of a (secular vs religion) kind of problem. Not globalism vs nationalism exactly. These people are conditioned as children to accept these RIDICULOUS beliefs in martyrdom and glory for the honor of Allah. Obviously Christians aren't as bad, but the methodology is similar. Sociopaths and gullible cult members train their children to believe they will face eternal hellfire if they don't accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and savior. Some churches are not strict about this, Catholics are much less strict, but many protestant churches are indeed. It distorts the child's ability to form empathy and grow to be a productive and critically thinking adult. Going through life like a drone and doing what is expected of you isn't a successfully raised child. Many people claim (I worked hard and I turned out fine). Yes, because these people largely operate under the thumb of a narcissists expectations and they are kept in line with that childhood conditioning. Thankfully Christian churches don't teach glory and martyrdom because we'd have idiots blowing themselves up here too. Organized religion in general needs to go away. I guarantee that if you labeled Christianity as "Christian mythology" in any textbook. The number of people that self-identify with the religion would drop 90% over the next 30 years alone. Islam needs to have the same thing done. Religion cannot co-exist with secular society and governments. As long as it does, it will always be attempting to regain control and subjugate the population to it's religious will.

  28. Population and hospitalization studies from the ASJ have already confirmed that the infection of variants are affecting vaccinated persons in the 90% percentile. The unvaccinated are not taking up the beds. The CDC redefined vaccination status in order to say "they are unvaccinated". If you had two shots and no booster, then you are NOT vaccinated.

  29. Well, problem! Andrew Tate is a grifter that preys on men's insecurities about labor and women. Just because he is addressing these issues doesn't disqualify him. It's how he approaches and uses it for his own gain. To me he seems like your typical (grifter/influencer) selling radical information to attract desperate people. He makes men (not doing well in the economy) feel insufficient and gives them garbage advice on how to do what he does. Then he teaches men (whom many of which have never dated before) to already have an intense disgust or mistrust of women in general. None of that seems sustainable to me. It seems like a good way for him to make money on the misguided dreams that he manipulated his audience into having.

  31. People are always missing the low-hanging fruit when it comes to this conflict. First, Ukraine was already at war with it's own people in the Donbass region; over 14,000 dead in the last 8 years. If Ukraine joined NATO, it would have forced the western allies to intervene in the Donbass war (against) the pro-Russian residents trying to annex themselves with the Russia Federation. Ukraine is a proxy state between NATO and Russia; it's been that way for a number of years. Russia had a friendly President (Yanukovich) until he was ousted from office in a coup "The Revolution of Dignity" in 2014 by the western powers. They replaced him with the Zelensky Administration; a western puppet regime. Then, immediately after the Minsk Agreements, he launched a war against his own people in the east. All because they wanted to be reunited with greater Russia 'formally' since 2004.

  32. Or, maybe they were never conservatives at all? At least that seems to be my experience. Not everybody falls in line with a political ideology of their personality. There's nothing more annoying than meeting a conservative that thinks they are liberal lol Some of the most stubborn and low openness people have identified themselves in both areas. Despite it being antithetical to their personality. Many people are just too simple; loving guns makes them a conservative and being pro-choice makes them feel liberal. At least that's how many identify. If you say something that triggers someone, you can be pretty sure that's a conservative personality deep down.

  34.  @walkinharmonyhomestead2888  Anything is possible, but people are blissfully unaware of how rampant NPDs are in the last 30 years. We're making more due to a steep rise in anti-social disorders from neglect and child abuse stats on the rise. Never underestimate a parent's ability to make themselves look like a victim when their child cannot defend themselves in the same room. This interview will be seen my millions of people. That girl's reputation is already tarnished and it will be damaged again. Regardless of whether they are telling the truth or not. There was recently a mother that took to social media and was sponsored for her own television interview on ABC for how hurt she was over her daughter 'leaving her and going no contact.' In which the mom plays 'full victim' for how her child is evil and manipulative. That daughter is now suing the mom for defamation and having to defend her reputation due to harassment, death-threats, and doxxing.

  35.  @walkinharmonyhomestead2888  You should check out the (anti-therapy) community that is festering on Youtube. It's where thousands of parents with personality disorders hang out and talk garbage about their kids in order to make friends and tarnish the reputation of people seeking help from psychiatrists and trauma therapists. You'd be amazed at how large these groups have become over the last several years; nothing but nasty comments about how their children betrayed them and are horrible people. You're assuming this is happening to good parents because you're probably naïve about negligence and abusive statistics. It's very easy for people to overlook these familial problems if they were not aware of those issues within their own circle. This is the same kind of thinking that is giving teachers a bad name while exonerating parents. You have absolutely no idea how low parents have fallen in this country. The media loves to spin it to indulge in right-wing conspiracies.

  36.  @anonony9081  Assuming that he 'kids' are the problem. I've never seen a child grow up in a productive and positive home that turned out to be a confused and manipulative brat. All of this starts in the home. Generation X are literally one of the worst generations that ever raised children; extremely manipulative, neglectful, and irrational. You'd be surprised what percentage of the general population falls into these categories of anti-social behavior. These parents will do and say anything to make their children look like the aggressor after they abused the children for years or decades.

  37.  @pamelamohn5931  Happens all the time, it's called a scapegoat. One child is singled out and abused by all the other family members, but life seems fine for everybody else. This is extremely common; toxic family setup. This is because one or two manipulative family members normalize abuse for the scapegoat and teach the other members that it's acceptable. I've seen it happen over and over, especially in my own family. I agree that there are other influences, but the question is where and why are they following these influences? If you instill a set of values and reflected behaviors; children are pretty robust. Unchecked neglect creates resentment, unchecked golden-status creates entitlement, and sexual abuse creates confusion. People claiming that their children just 'up and decide to be bad' is the defense of an abuser in my experience. They are a direct reflection of their care-takers. You should be suspicious of any parent saying otherwise. Again, I think most of the time this comes down to the household. Parents are everything, if the parents are neglectful; the child will seek validation elsewhere and it harms their growth.

  38. I'm no fan of the state, but what makes you think they are receiving 'love' at home. In my experience, these kids are being (MASS) neglected and tormented by horrible parents. As somebody who grew up with an NPD mother that had nothing but contempt for me; I empathize with their situations. We need to stop pretending that 'parents' are doing their jobs and the state/educational system is stopping them. A large number of parents these days are crazy.

  41. I don't think that's the point they're trying to make. I don't think it helps to sit in a room with a stranger and VENT about your traumas. The best way to do that is thru family and spousal support. Unfortunately, we don't have that because the family system is completely broken. Talk to your family about your feelings and they'll end up on social media and belittling you in front of others.

  42.  @michaelnoble2432  Age 1-4 defines a child's neural connections for the rest of his life. I don't like writing off people, but you are going to increasingly see anti-social behavior become rampant; apathy, aggression, manipulation, and predation.

  43.  @weirdpuppet326  Communism has always been a religion. I think anyone suggesting otherwise would be quite historically ignorant on how it was culturally imposed. To be anything else is an act of treason against the state. Sounds pretty close to defying a theocratic order; so it's pretty religious if you ask me.

  46. How does capitalism take lives exactly? I think you'd only make that assumption if you think people are entitled to the labor and value of others? Which is the argument made in the Communist Manifesto of course. But do you seriously want you labor, worth, and body to be owned collectively by the people/state/government? Also, would socialism have created all the technology and innovations you use?

  47.  @grandexporter  Modern Christianity focuses too much on the 'preacher' and 'MY relationship with Christ.' Both of which breed cultist and narcissistic behavior. There's a very specific reason the Catholic church swaps out priests and makes them take oaths of poverty. I grew up going to a Methodist church and school. Ignorance, manipulation, and disinformation run rampant in modern Christian sects. Much of the time, church leaders create their own rules regarding life conduct and pass them off as Christian teachings. The behavior is extremely predatory. They often target old and disenfranchised mining, glass, or coal towns where most of the intelligent curve have moved off to the big cities and Universities. Purely taking advantage of those that remain and are more gullible to cultist behavior. Then when they are discovered to be embezzling and having an affair, they lay low and start over a thousand miles away in a new town.

  49. Socialism at it's core is about propping up the bottom 50% to benefit from something they don't provide. I don't say that lightly btw. You always want the most competent people running the show (even if there is corruption involved). You need competition between ambitious economic forces. People always think that employing socialism is a push for propping people up. But it allows immoral and dangerous people to rise up into politics. A demographic that has nothing to lose is always motivated by blood and revenge.

Animals products and meats are full of cholesterol; eggs included. The agricultural revolution wasn't that long ago. If you're facing cognitive dissonance, then it's best to grow and learn; not retract and hide.
