    If you read Frankl’s book cover to cover, as I have, you’ll find that he never said “you have to” do any of those things (e.g. take someone else’s bread). Frankl said that the probability of survival was 1/28. Several times, Frankl’s own survival turned out to hinge on his choice to pass up what looked like an advantage he could have given himself. In one instance, he passes up a chance at escape to stay with typhus victims under his care in the camp - this turns out to be a critical choice that leads to his survival. I would definitely recommend reading the part of the book where Frankl tells the story of “Death in Tehran”. From this short clip, it seems as though Willink completely missed the point of Man’s Search for Meaning. Yes, Frankl reveals the horrors of how the Jewish prisoners turned on one another and cannibalized their own (both figuratively and literally) - he also reveals that those who walked out of that experience with some sanity in tact were not the ones who allowed circumstance to reduce them to the very worst that man is capable of, but those who found some good within themselves that could resist the total destruction of their individual soul. These observations led him to go on to create Logotherapy, the only style of psychoanalysis at the time that actually insists that man really does have a soul that is an actual entity that serves some practical purpose. I hope that this minuscule synopsis inspires some to find out what Frankl really had to say about human nature.

      yeah i am sure he didnt read it and just let someone talk. the main point in book was find the meaning in everything. even in suffering. so you will know it is worth and go through it. it is really good book. the jews camp is just a example of one man. the author.

    The reason the Lord of the Rings is such a masterpiece of storytelling, Is that it illustrates this sentiment perfectly, every character is subject to the seduction of power, of tyranny, there are no clear cut definitions of evil, it exists within all of us. The extent to which we can submit our urges to commit evil acts, is the measure of our goodwill.

    I feel meaning is taken from the parts we see ourselves play in the world around us.
    Not every part is for every person, and we just don't see some of the parts we can play yet.
    When we fail the part: (fail to be a good son in the holocaust)
    - you loose a place in your "situation tree" where you can stand safely, or where you feel you are safe and able to play the part.
    The less parts your are able to play, while forced into the situations where it's your best character, and it's failing, you loose meaning and real situations you are safe in.
    So it's easy to realize the meaning you gathered upon yourself when you are loosing it.

      Frankl would say that the utmost act of survival is to never let that meaning slip away entirely. He believes that your life literally depends on it.

    The film My Policeman shows this, where one gay man chose to do shady things to preserve his life in 1950s England and one chose to be more courageous. The courageous one suffered enormously. It makes you question the value of the impulse to survive over being righteous and which takes precedent. But I always return to Jesus, who remained peaceful at all costs, who took a stand for truth no matter the consequence and whose love was so powerful, it changed the whole world. Christ did not take the sins of humanity upon himself. That is a convenient belief made up by people after his death, and goes completely against his teachings. Jesus showed an example of what we are each meant to do - stay in a state of lovingness even if it means the end of our physical bodies, or physical pain. Because the soul is eternal and every unloving thing we do will only degrade our souls and cause more suffering.

    Why talk about the New Testament, when you can just refer to the Milgram experiment? People usually do what they’re told and conform to the group they belong to - this doesn’t take the responsibility of us for taking our individual decisions, but puts a far greater responsibility on those in position of power.
    Freedom is not the absence of any group identity. Freedom is the ability to choose your group and group identity, the existence of a variety of different groups and life choices. Don’t see why Peterson is confused here

      Frankl argues ultimate freedom Frankl shares poignant anecdotes and reflections on the psychology of survival in the camps. He emphasizes that despite being stripped of their freedom and subjected to unimaginable cruelty, prisoners still possessed the freedom to choose their attitudes and responses to their circumstances. I would argue that Freedom is the ability to choose your response and attitudes toward suffering regardless of what group you claim. imo.
