Jordan Peterson and The Open Stance Corollary

Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist, erudite teacher, and purveyor of empirical truth in the modern world. He is an advocate for personal responsibility and what is provable over personal rights what is felt. Suffice it to say, therefore, that he and I agree. Anyone who has not heard him speak is really missing out.

I advocate self-directed golf improvement based on personal responsibility and necessary, ‘first things, first’ decision-making. J.P. advocates framing conversation with necessary societal hierarchies. Therefore, I am certain that, upon hearing or reading my holistic explanation of the Open Stance progression, Peterson would understand and appreciate it’s curative nature.

J.P. makes a compelling argument for ‘first things first’ in all areas of life. Examples of his approach are seemingly everywhere. However, I need to thank him for corroborating my one, little corner. Peterson’s line of work and my own are converging (along with every other), as is the conversation about why we are here. As a result, our society moves further and further from the idea of separateness or individualism.

Thought is advancing with conflict in civil debate. Subdividing complex thought into clever, agenda-driven, bite-sized portions is disappearing with bandwidth and “long-form” interviews/interactions. When we finally block out the ‘noise’ of self-interest, we’ll be better able to contribute to the conversation.

Furthermore, I am thrilled to have my work validated by my students, followers, and other prominent intellectuals. For now, my work and Mr. Peterson’s are bridged only by implication. Perhaps soon, I’ll make connections that allow my conversation to more quickly advance.

Obviously, he is not talking about golf in this clip. However, you’ll notice an Open Stance corollary pretty quickly. You will hear J.P. allude to Need, Intention, Philosophy, Anthropological Feedback, and the psychological consequences of winging it. You’ll hear him cite a Progression of thought related to hierarchical structures. Anyway… enjoy the show.
