Everything Wrong with the West | Jordan Peterson PT 2

<p>Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! Today, we dive into Part 2 of our enlightening conversation with the renowned psychologist and philosopher, Jordan Peterson. In this episode, Tom and Jordan explore the complexities of emerging as a genuine individual and the delicate dance between order and chaos in shaping our identities. They critique the oversimplified notion of self-defined identity and discuss the profound impact of beliefs on emotions and behavior.</p><p><br /></p><p>We delve into some weighty concepts, from the definition of God and the reality of evil to the negotiation of identity through childhood and social structures. Jordan shares thought-provoking insights on the transformative power of narratives, the importance of confronting suffering with courage, and the timeless battle against entropy.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>SHOWNOTES</strong></p><p>00:00 Guidance on life's journey, find inner spirit.</p><p>18:00 Alternative truth embedded in tradition and consensus.</p><p>28:07 Identity is practical, like a dramatic role.</p><p>40:11 Child and adolescent socialization, peer influence importance.</p><p>48:33 Book discusses psychoanalysis, reframing self-narrative for success.</p><p>54:44 Identity politics based on unalterable, arbitrary characteristics.</p><p>01:12:54 Transition from internet dad to theologian analyzed.</p><p>01:18:39 Spontaneous speech captures living spirit of exploration.</p><p>01:26:17 Church distorts Christ's message to fit society.</p><p>01:35:33 Understanding stories shapes our internal incarnation.</p><p>01:49:50 Story of Tiamat and Marduk in historical context.</p><p>01:55:53 Encourage evolutionary perspective, conquer internal demons heroically.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS</strong></p><p><strong>Range Rover:</strong> Explore the Range Rover Sport at <a href="https://impacttheory.co/landroverpodAugust24" target="_blank">https://impacttheory.co/landroverpodAugust24</a></p><p><strong>Oracle:</strong> Take a free test drive of OCI at <a href="https://impacttheory.co/oraclepodAugust24" target="_blank">https://impacttheory.co/oraclepodAugust24</a> </p><p><strong>Shopify: </strong>Sign up for a $1/month trial period at <a href="https://impacttheory.co/shopifyAugust24pod" target="_blank">https://impacttheory.co/shopifyAugust24pod</a></p><p><strong>Found Banking: </strong>Sign up for Found for FREE today at <a href="https://impacttheory.co/FoundITAugustpod" target="_blank">https://impacttheory.co/FoundITAugustpod</a></p><p><strong>AG1:</strong> Get 5 free AG1 Travel Packs and a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D with your first purchase at <a href="https://impacttheory.co/AG1pod" target="_blank">https://impacttheory.co/AG1pod</a>.</p><p><strong>Aura:</strong> Secure your digital life with proactive protection for your assets, identity, family, and tech – Go to <a href="https://aura.com/impact" target="_blank">https://aura.com/impact</a> to start your free two-week trial.</p><p><strong>Quickbooks: </strong>Go to <a href="https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/trackclk/N5506.2825.5120635418521/B23183761.256918080;dc_trk_aid=451317011;dc_trk_cid=121432198;dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=?https://quickbooks.intuit.com/oa/payroll/" target="_blank">Quickbooks Payroll</a> to get 50% off 3 months</p><p><strong>HubSpot: </strong>Check out <a href="https://hubspot.sjv.io/c/4792730/1001264/12893" target="_blank">HubSpot’s Starter CRM Suite</a> for FREE and get all of the essential tools, education, and support your business needs to grow efficiently! </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>FOLLOW TOM:</strong></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tombilyeu/</p><p>Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tombilyeu?lang=en</p><p>Twitter: https://twitter.com/tombilyeu</p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TomBilyeu" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@TomBilyeu</a></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>What's up, everybody?</strong> It's Tom Bilyeu here.
