  • In this lecture, I provide details about trait conscientiousness, the best predictor of life success after intelligence (particularly among managers, administrators and students). Sounds good? But conscientiousness is partly composed of aspect orderliness, along with industriousness, and orderliness is associated both with disgust and with authoritarianism (particularly among those low in openness to experience). Hitler and the Jews? The Holocaust? Orderliness and disgust sensitivity gone mad.

      "Pandemic" is a very strong word for it. Global forced quarantine is more accurate. The virus is the justification for mass shutdowns by many governments who are overreaching in their authority, but the below 1.5M worldwide deaths do not justify this stacked against the world population nearing 8 billion. In the US alone if 1.5M were dead it would not justify this stacked against the just below 400M population even. It is a very dark sign I would say. I am quite sure JBP would agree.

      "Phobic" and "anti" in reference to political correctness are not scientific terms, they are colloquial terms. There are scientific "phobic" terms, such as arachnophobia, but they are not related to the context of political correctness.
      The word toxic is inherently dehumanizing, associating a person to something worthy of disgust dehumanizes them, as disgust turns off compassion.

      Toxic is something you get rid of or move away from

    I have always loathed going to class and actively paying attention in school or doing homework, yet I find myself stopping metallica videos and choosing to watch these lectures. Lately, I've been thinking about taking notes so I can retain more of its content, but I also have no problem re-watching these lectures for the same purpose.

    • @HTWW
      @HTWW Před 3 lety +4

      Trust me, man, taking notes is soooo worth it. I've recently read a great book by one Mortimer J. Adler - 'How to Speak, How to Listen' (a sequel of sorts to one of his greatest pieces - 'How to Read Great Books'). He stresses the importance of taking notes, and it's so true! I haven't been reading much in past few years, and I had trouble concentrating on reading, but since I've started taking notes, I've had more success both with reading and with listening! Just imagine this - first you'd take notes for every lecture as it goes. You then should write another set of notes, this time as an analysis of the lecture. Eventually you'd have enough material to cross-reference it many, many times over, improving your understanding of the material dramatically. And every time you add more data to your base of knowledge, you can again deepen your understanding of the subject.
      Careful, though) You never know just how deep into the depths of your very 'wetware' this rabbit hole goes.

      SAME. TIL I'm just like Hitler, high in Openness, high in Orderliness, highish in Neuroticism, low in Agreeableness and we have similar tastes.
      Also: As a Newyorker and having consequently interacted with tons of Jews, I'm shook at how accurate that Nazi video was about their culture, namely how they reserve morality for the in-group and not for the, ehh, "hosts."
      Seeing that film with my temperament, I can feel myself being potentially persuaded--esp. if I had lost all my money to inflation, lost my husband to WW,1 and my sister to Spanish influenza.

To have little to no restrictions would have been the best at the begginning of the spreading of the pandemic when the virus was weaker and it's effects less severe, thus a large portion of the population could have gained a sort of "natural immunity". At this point however stricter measures may be justifiable.

    - Just because you're better at planning, it wouldn't necessarily apply that you're better at implementing
    - Allow disgust to guide you. Control disgust. Keep borders with your actions

      It works. I used to be very anxious and was disgusted by filth. I later had a cleaning job in a restaurant as a potwash and cleaner. One time someone had explosive drunken diarrhea and I had to clean it up - I covered it in bleach and left it for the end of the shift to mentally build myself up to it. As I was wiping it off the toilet with a sponge and gloves, the sponge flicked and sent a filthy drop of poo to my face! I closed my eyes and it landed on my eye lid!
      I maintained my self control, went and washed up my face for a few minutes, then finished the job. It taught me I could handle pretty dirty things well

    maybe conscientiousness is more a measure of long-term reliability. As in, no short term lab task can show you that. Anyone can focus and do a dull repetitive task for a while. But conscientious people are the people who will wake up every day, and without someone nagging them, do the task themselves for 3 hours a day, for 5 years just because they are "supposed" do it. Just a thought from listening to the "we have no clue what conscientiousness is" portion.

    I think the link between conscientiousness and depression is fascinating. Specifically in what it would say about a conscientious person’s appraisal of their own competence at a job for example. I had been depressed for awhile for multiple reasons and perhaps one cause (or effect, I’m not sure) of that depression was my own negative appraisal of how good I was at my job. Because I didn’t see myself as particularly effective at my job, I chose to work fewer hours and budget more. I put off planning my career because I didn’t feel good enough to progress in it. My friend is a counselor and one day I was describing how I was disgusted by how messy my roommate was. I told her I needed everything in order. She said that surprised her because she always saw me as much more relaxed (not conscientious). Well over time, when I started taking more responsibility and realizing I was more competent at my job than I had initially thought, I became hyper conscientious at it, basically doubling my hours and the amount of clients I was working with. Could it be that some people who exhibit signs of low consciousness are simply portraying that to the world to cover their guilt over not being as competent as they believe they should be? And once those negative thoughts are dealt with, their true conscientiousness can manifest itself?

    Higher conscientiousness being related to less anxiety might also be because of their mindset relating to time/permanence. For example, we have all been through a bad breakup that leaves us feeling terrible and heartbroken. What do our friends always tell us? "It's hard right now but time will heal your heart". People who are lower in conscientiousness I think tend to live more immediately, in the moment, and thus have a hard time grasping that their current situation is not permanent and have an inability to look towards the future to a situation where they don't feel anxious. I think the level of permanence of a situation can greatly increase/decrease its level of anxiety. If you get a tattoo it is much less stressful than if you were kidnapped being tortured with needles because there is an amount of uncertainty about your future situation and ability to change that stressful situation.

    Terence Mckenna might have an interesting theory regarding conscientiousness. He might say that people who are high in conscientiousness (which is -as you frequently have pointed out- tied to disgust) are the fall back strategy for the process unfolding. We can call that process an evolution if we like, or something else, but I like the generic abstraction above it, hence "process unfolding".
    While the rest of us omnivore monkeys are eating anything and everything to survive and move the evolutionary needle forward, often by ingesting mind-expanding drugs as TM proposes and I second, some of us better develop an aversion to this process or we risk self-extermination. Being open, extroverted, and willing to try anything is a high-risk / high-reward strategy.
    So channeling my inner TM, I'd say that conscientious high disgust group are a fall back strategy for evolution.
    I have to admit that there's a bit of an uncomfortable hole in my proposal. It's the disgust that is the active ingredient in this process, and I'm not sure which way the causation goes. Does disgust produce conscientiousness, or does conscientiousness produce disgust? If disgust produced conscientiousness I'd feel a lot better about my Terence Mckenna theory.
    And thank you Mr. Peterson. You've changed my life.

I don't know about the rest of you, but only clips of his videos pop up for me, rarely has anything from Jordan Peterson's actual CZcams channel popped up to watch. Nobody hits the like button. Be a babe, hit the like button.

    I've been formulating a theory for about three years and had a breakthrough this weekend. I wanted to do some research and thought Dr. Peterson might be a good place to start, this talk is pretty much the gold mine I was looking for. When I realized the publish date was yesterday. It made me chuckle how ideas float around and come to order.
