Jordan Peterson Failing A Class

النص الكامل للفيديو

You're in class, it's near the beginning of the semester. You write an exam, or you hand in an essay. And you don't get the mark, that you desired. Okay, so what are your options? Well one option would be: so you hit an anomaly. Things didn't happen, the way you wanted them to happen. And so, maybe you say "Jeez! That was boring and stupid class anyways. This gives me an excuse to get out, and so, that's not such negative thing." Or you think: well, really better buckle down and study", and you decide to stay in the class. So basically, what you've done, is maintained your framework - "I'm going to work through this class", but you've decided to modify some of the subroutines, that make up that frame. You say "well, should study more next time" or have to prioritize this class, compared to other classes". So it's micro-alteration within the overarching framework. But another thing you can do, is say... *waves hand* "To hell with the class! just won't- I'll just drop it." And so, the advantage to that is: problem gone. The disadvantage is: well, now you have different problem. Which is - okay, fine, you drop the class. 1) Do you have another class, that you can replace it with? 2) Is that good way of dealing with micro-failure? You know, to move up level of analysis, and throw out the whole frame. Because you could also say: "Well, maybe should just drop out of university, and maybe should go hang myself." You know, that's- Well, it's the same line of logic, it's just taken up to higher degree of abstraction. And so, generally speaking, you don't wanna solve problem, by moving up level, and wiping out the frame, within which the problem was experienced! You- you wanna do that carefully. Because in principle, the frame that you were working within, had already- you'd already assigned value to it, and worked at it. You've already invested in it. It's big sacrifice to blow out the whole frame. Now, sometimes you can do it. So anyways, what happens is - well... You get the bad grade, and you're upset about it. And so, you've been plunged from your happy, satiated state, let's say - into state of relative Chaos. And the Chaos is: hit an obstacle, didn't expect it, and now don't know what to do". And so, what does it mean, "to not know what to do"? Well... It can mean need to study harder". It can mean should drop this course". It can mean should major in different subject". It can mean "maybe shouldn't be in university". It could mean "maybe my future plans have been formulated badly". It could mean "my future plans have been formulated badly, because don't understand myself very well, and I've been telling lies about my past", right? The thing can really expand on you. And that's what the chaotic domain is. That's the re-manifestation of those things, that you had considered irrelevant. Right? Because when you go to pick up the exam, you've got your identity, as competent student, intact. You're not questioning, whether you should be in the course, or whether you should be in that major, or whether you should be in university. None of that! That's all in the implicitly accepted category. And as soon, as the anomalous event emerges... *pop* all of those things, that you had rendered axiomatic, start to become questionable. And that's like the shark, coming up from the depths, to pull you down. And that's the classic way of representing that, and of symbolizing it. That's "Jonah and the Whale", for example. So, if something is- manifests itself from the deep Unknown, and pulls you under, like an alligator at waterhole. Which is I'm sure, one of the sources, from which we derived that particular kind of mythological representation. Because you could imagine, that when we were on the veldt, after living on trees; we had to go down to the damn waterholes. And you've- you've watched enough nature programs, to know, what Nile crocodile can do to water buffalo. It's not pretty. And so, to "go down to the water" the chaotic water - and the source of all life as well, right? Is to risk and encounter with the terrible thing, that lurks in the depths. And so, we use that as central metaphor, for mapping the sorts of things, that happened to us in much more abstract space. And you know that! Because one of the things you're going to do... Let's say, that the- the professor... There's professor, obviously, who gave you the bad grade. Okay, so one logical presupposition is, that you're in some sense insufficient, in relationship to the course. But another logical and instantaneous categorization, is to throw that person into the category of 'malevolent predator'. And you'll do that, by becoming upset and cursing the person in your imagination... heh.
