    I used to teach intellectually challenged high school girls who were always complaining that they'd never have a 'good job', meaning a job that society considers important. And I'd tell them that they could be a good waitress, eventually a really good one who would make people happy and make their day better. I'd tell them that all work was valid .I suppose they never really believed me because society doesn't see all work as being valid. Dr Peterson is the only person I've heard say that it is.

Spent 12 years in Costa Rica with a stint in Dubai. Came back to Canada 3.5 years ago and have yet to find a decent job. For the first time in my life I got let go from 2 menial jobs that I should hae done in my sleep. I expected much more This vid is about me. The bitterness i feel at being brushed aside and my skills ignored is palpable.. The problem is with me.. I have a lot of sorting out to do. Thanks, Dr. P.

      I hope you're doing better now, and likely are. I see this is 3 yrs ago, but hopefully you'll see this. I read this to my spouse, who is university educated, had a book business and stills deals loosely on the side and has self imposed been doing menial jobs. The main point is, we moved back to my hometown and he's been let go from 3 menial jobs and is so beaten down he doesn't even want to look for work anymore. He needs to snap out of it too. What you were going through and what he is, are trademark of marxism and the diversity agenda in Canada and the western world. White men are dead last. We have little diversity in our small Ont. town, so everything is women getting the choice positions first. Every time he's been let go, there are women who stayed, while men got fired. In most cases, the women weren't even qualified, but the quota must be filled.

There are intelligent people who don't care that they are smarter than their bosses at the Jiffy Lube, just like there are martial artists who don't care that they could beat up anyone in the room. Pride says you have to proof it to yourself and everyone else must witness the glory. I think Intelligent people are sad because they think more. Less you think the happier you are generally speaking. It's gift and a curse for both ways.

    so excited for all that Dr P is developing and doing. I have become a dragon slayer! I cleaned my damn room. This story is both hilarious and struck a deep chord in me since I'm the over smart arrogant person that is trying to change this about me. I've not been engaging in my life or world because I haven't liked the people around me. I've set some serious goals for myself to turn my life around and change my tragic story so far into something better. staying tuned for the triumphant second half of my life. thanks so much to dr p for being there online for all of us..... his online presence has changed my life.

    The good diner story reminds me of Hugh Akston diner in Atlas Shrugged:
    "Dagny sat at the end of the counter, eating a hamburger sandwich. It was the best-cooked food she had ever tasted, the product of simple ingredients and of an unusual skill ... She studied the man behind the counter. He was slender and tall; he had an air of distinction that belonged in an ancient castle or in the inner office of a bank ... There was expert competence in his manner of working; his movements were easy, intelligently economical ... somewhere behind his look of courteous sternness, there was a note of humor ... "

    Jordan, if you ever read this! I really hope you read _Ham On Rye_ by Charles Bukowski. I think it would make a BEAUTIFUL example of how a man can just give up on what society's got to offer and pave his own way and own happiness in a world so Damning. I wouldn't even know where to begin. The part where he's watching his Prom dance from a window outside the school, or the part where he tries alcohol at 15 and never lets go of the bottle after that.

It's nothing glamorous and it isn't the job of my dreams, but I've been promoted as far as I want to go, for the moment, and there is a fulfilling element to "a job well done" and to the respect I have earned.

    A story about a shitty diner from hell is the only time, after 3 years of listening to Peterson, that I've heard him say "Fuck"

    I've been to that bad dinner. Had them redo my eggs, they came back worst. I walked out and never went back.

    Hearing Jordan say "fuck" for the first time was like hearing your parents swear when you were 5

    That's me, all that matters is smart and the world isn't laying itself at my feet.

    I really love this, I keep returning to it because there's something that's so deeply true about it. But I'm also fascinated that Jordan dropped the F bomb at the end, it's really good to see profanity sparingly and appropriately these days. When you uses that language it has an extreme punctuating effect I've never felt elsewhere.

    No man that's not breakfast that's Hell. I get the feeling many people on Earth are suffering through a worst type of hell where they don't get to eat anything at all in this breakfast as bad as it sounds would be a slice of heaven for them.
