“As I’m starting to learn things, obviously, the first person I always talk to is my husband, and I feel like he’s the more rational side of my brain.”
“..they are thee most faithful to the church of science. They are thee most faithful to the church of Satan.”
Today, we discuss the resignation of Pastor Robert Morris in light of his past sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl.
..we discuss how horrible marijuana is, particularly its devastating effects on teenagers. Are there any good reasons to legalize weed? Is marijuana possession actually a criminal justice issue, or is this a myth?
Plus, we discuss the different types of “Karens” and defend those who are actually necessary for society to function.
Dark skinned people need up to 10 times exposure to sunshine to get the same amount of vitamin D when the sun is high enough to produce it.

“There’s a study that I talk about in ‘We’ve Got Issues,’ where we compared people’s willingness to speak up in 1950 verses people’s willingness to speak up now in 2023. People who are unwilling to express their views have tripled since 1950. People don’t want to talk now, because if you do…. People say ‘it’s easier not to speak out,’ and that has to stop.”

Dr. Phil McGraw is an author, psychologist, and the host of the television show “Dr. Phil.”
“In ’08 and ’09, smartphones came on, and kids stopped living their lives, and started watching people live their lives. And we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness and suicidality since records have ever been kept. And it’s just continued on and on and on. Then Covid hit….”

38:45 “One thing I know for a dead certain fact, having seen it is that there is good and evil. We’re being acted upon at all times. And I think every person can feel that in themselves. I mean there are moments when you are moved to do things that are much better than you actually are, and there are also more evil and destructive than you actually are. You are subject to forces from outside yourself. That is absolutely true. …
So there are forces that are not human that do exist in a spiritual realm of some kind that we cannot see. … That is real!”

“There’s a study that I found pretty exciting. They said the part of your brain that you get anxiety from is the same part of your brain that has gratitude.
You can’t be grateful and anxious at the same time. So then in the Bible, where it goes: instead of being anxious, be grateful, it’s so crazy to think that they were calling out legitimate things that scientists have found out.”
Millennials are the largest generation ever, and some startling stats reveal that many don’t even believe there is absolute value to life or moral truths. We go over the biggest pain issues that Millennials deal with and how to address them and explain why maximum happiness can never be the goal of life, as many Millennials are led to believe.
Courage: doing what needs to be done despite fear and consequences
The demons-in-people factor
spirits of:
witchcraft
envy
confusion
condemnation
control
deception (lying)
pride
fear
They’re filled with shame and fear, but project fearlessness as they seek to control others. Their arrogant, stubborn, self-righteous, grandiose manner in which they carry themselves.
12:45 “The are vengeful, envious, jealous, self-centered people. So they do not do well when others succeed, especially in areas that are important to them.”
Behind their phony, fake laughter is an extremely envious, insecure person.
They have zero interest in the truth.
They’re always looking externally for internal validation.

Men dominate the regular audiences of the financial publications included in the survey: 73% of the regular readers of the Economist and Bloomberg Businessweek are men as are 71% of regular Wall Street Journal readers.
Jordan Peterson: Psychology and Philosophy of Life, Part III
The concept of archetypes leads us to a key aspect of Peterson’s message, and a source of a major point of controversy, which refers to the nature and the source of the differences between men and women. The postmodern-sociological view is that humans are very plastic and much of the differences between men and women are the result of social norms and constructed realities.
In contrast, there are evolutionary psychological views that view men and women having different psychosocial architectures that result in different tendencies, abilities, and interests. Peterson believes that the idea that sex/gender differences are wholly constructed by social norms to be ridiculous. He argues that both theory and data point to important differences in a number of key domains. Men are more likely to be aggressive (especially physically), dominant, and interested in things (e.g., tools and engineering projects), whereas women are more likely to be agreeable, nurturing and interested in people. This is not completely fixed (i.e., it is malleable to some extent), but nor is it completely constructed by modern social norms.
This idea is important because it relates to a key point he makes about outcomes. We should NOT expect, according to this view, equal outcomes between men and women in all contexts. For example, we should expect to see more men interested in mechanical engineering and more women interested in early childhood education. And it means that if we see women underrepresented in engineering, we should not automatically conclude that it is a function of a sexist culture (as the famous Damore Google Memo incident makes clear), any more than we should presume that the relative infrequency of men in early childhood education is a consequence of a form of discrimination.
The result is a feeling of emptiness — “the psychological equivalent of making your home environment filthy for awhile. … It depletes the dopamine system.” – Huberman
“The higher the dopamine peak the bigger the drop afterwards, and you drop below baseline.” – Huberman
“…that ever, ever sort of escalating wildness that you need to watch in order to get an ever decreasing stimulus that comes back.”
Non-Christian Huberman says pornography “isn’t good or bad,” but consider what Jesus says about lusting from the heart with the eyes and even the hand:
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. – Mt. 5:27-30
“Females don’t use pornography to the same degree. They use literary pornography.” – Jordan Peterson
