Yeah, I quit listening to him for awhile because I was agreeing with too much of what he said.
I certainly don't agree with him on everything and there our certain flaws I notice more now.
The idea that someone could actually help someone else live a meaningful life just inspired me. I think it's probably possible to do from multiples angels, not just Petersons.

Hoping to combine my love of Classics with East Asian studies. Taking Intermediate Latin this year (only one in the class, lol), and I might pick up French again, so I figure I could do something linguistic.

My overall goal for college is to become a kind of Renaissance man. I also am thinking about studying the differences in philosophies, languages, and literatures of East and West, and how they formed, and how they merged, and how they influence the perceptions of people in their respective hemispheres.

I also plan on becoming a self-published writer in the near future.

Getting a b.s. in biology, looking to be a medical writer. I've been boning up on statistics since medical writers need to be good at that (its useful for reviewing large volumes of scientific publications), but I suck at math so it's a real slog.

Just finished Behave by Stanford professor Robert Sapolsky, it was a tour de force of the current scientific understanding of human behavior. I'm currently reading Sean's Way by Proust (though it's slow going, not very motivated to read it for some reason) and a book on the 1903 Kishinev pogrom. I'm part jewish and I literally spend my evenings with a bottle of vodka watching holocaust movies and crying. I'm tucked up in the head, this caused me to leave college at age 22 and now I'm finishing up my biology degree.

Currently getting through my first year in filmschool. I hate it almost all of the time and the only classes that I find passion on going to are those with no relation to cinema. Even professors will look you down if you despise the current state of american film, as if that automatically made you a pseud (I'm not even in the US). My only goal in life is to direct features.
Reading The Devil to Pay in the Backlands and Sun and Steel.

v cool, do homicide, vice or narcotics or you'll want to off yourself; my daddy was friends with the team who caught the Green River Killer, extremely intelligent people and much more interesting than most other professionals when you get some liquor into them.

he's talking about Freud, Skinner etc. well before pharmacotherapy was pioneered by the Merck-Pfizer-Bayer-Astra Zeneca cartels. Therapists and psychiatrists are notorious sociopaths and/or full blown sadistic psychopaths. Its a brainlet field too, not intellectually satisfying for anyone who is above like 120 iq

don't do poli-sci unless you are Jewish, Woman or Black and have connections and are at an elite grad school. Very stupid decision. Get a philosophy degree and do math as a minor or a double major, go into Logic, you can at least work with CS people and get a teaching job; law school if you don't mind losing your mind, soul and will to live

Good advice to chase the more advanced languages. If I can avoid procrastinating for a couple of months that is.

i was studying history before i flunked out. i picked history because i didn't know what else to do and not going to school wasn't really an option.

i have no idea what i want to do for a career. i am the most inept person i know. i tell people that i'm trying to become a screenwriter but it's a lie. i haven't written anything. i don't even really like watching television or movies. since it's so hard to break into the industry people don't really question me when i tell them i haven't really made any progress.

i'm not reading anything at the moment because i'm lazy and dumb. reading is a chore but it makes me look less dumb than i really am so i buy books and occasionally read one.

i just want to sleep and never wake up.

I once hear about a guy who came from a really wealthy family, but they only funded their children through their college education. After they graduated they were left on their own. So this dude just kept delaying getting graduated to keep that comfy rich-kid life style going.
