Jordan Peterson
Jordan Petersonto Act is literally to manifest preference about one set of possibilities, contrasted with an infinite set of alternatives. If we wish to live, we must act. Acting, we value.
Aggression is what underlies the drive to be outstanding, to be unstoppable, to compete, to win—to be actively virtuous, at least along one dimension.
Aim is a necessary — We cannot navigate, without something to aim at and, while we are in this world, we must always navigate.
An Aim is that which provides a destination, a point of contrast against the present, and a framework, within which all things can be evaluated.
An Aim is that which reduces anxiety, because if you have no aim everything can mean anything or nothing, and neither of those two options makes for a tranquil spirit.
Atheism is non-existent — there are no atheists. There are only people who know, and don’t know, what God they serve.
Being is process, not a state; a journey, not a destination; the continual transformation of what you know, through encounter with what you don’t know, rather than the desperate clinging to the certainty that is eternally insufficient in any case.
Being is something more akin to story or drama; lived, subjective experience, as it manifests itself moment to moment in the consciousness of every living person.
Consciousness is what gives everything a perspective. It gives it a size, it gives it a duration, and it gives it colors, and all the qualities that we associate with being, and without that consciousness, all that is at least incomprehensible.
God is a transcendent reality that's only observable across the longest of timeframes.
