Pomogli su mi da ispravim neke stvari na sebi za koje su mi roditelji i sestre godinama govorili da nisu dobre, da me vuku unazad i da sve što nije funkcionisalo kod mene zapravo nije plod stvari koje sam uzimao kao izgovor, već poremećaja u načinu razmišljanja. Znam i kada je to nastalo, za vrijeme faksa, i od tada je i počeo stagnirati moj napredak. Zadnjih godinu dana otprilike, hvala Bogu, primjećujem ogroman napredak na sebi, okolina također veoma pozitivno je to prihvatila i podržava.
Da sad ne pretvorim ovo u ispovjedanje svoje, ali poenta je da nisam postao nikakav ženomrzac, ne idem okolo i ne namećem nikome ništa. Riješio sam se loših navika, prestao balaviti za ženama koje me i ne poznaju, prestao kriviti društvo i politiku za svoje probleme, shvatio sam da se moram vratiti na fabričke postavke, trenutno radim dva posla, vježbam, popravljam fizički izgled, vokabular, manire i još mnogo toga.
Meni su ti ljudi pomogli jer sam se vratio sam sebi, prosto toliko. Nisam ni ovaj ni onaj, postao sam svoj.
Bez sarkazma: drago mi je da ti je bolje.

Beware of the person of one book. – Thomas Aquinas
A o Jordanu Petersonu, meni se cini da on daje savjete drugima, obicno ovima s obe strane spektra, da parafraziram The Specials, ovi sto su “done too much / to little much too young” o necemu gdje on sam fails miserably, i to naplati sve samo ne ezotericno.

Ima zanimjlivih dijelova :
In 2018, an author and businessman named Rob Moore interviewed Peterson about entrepreneurship and uploaded the video to YouTube with the title “Jordan Peterson Reveals How to Sell Anything to Anyone.” Depending on how you read it, that is either a compliment or a criticism.
Halfway through the 12 Rules book tour in 2018, Peterson had lunch with the Texan billionaire Jeff Sandefer at a steakhouse in Des Moines, Iowa. Sandefer had made his fortune in the oil industry before launching the Ed Foundation, which funds conservative politicians and libertarian think tanks. He’d flown his Cessna up to Iowa to talk to Peterson about his other passion: education.
Like Peterson, Sandefer had clashed with public universities. In the 1990s, he’d developed a successful entrepreneurship program at the University of Texas, employing part-time instructors with professional experience. In 2002, when the school replaced those teachers with tenure-track professors, he quit in protest and founded the Acton School of Business, a private MBA program based in Austin. It’s infamous for its 100-hour workweeks, and reviews describe it as either an invaluable, “life-changing” experience or “a failed experiment” for trust fund kids. Sandefer said he’d been drawn to Peterson’s philosophies because they aligned with one of Acton’s educational pillars: learning how to live a life of meaning.
The reason for the meeting was that Peterson had been teasing plans to found an online educational institution for more than a year, promising Patreon supporters that their money would help build it. Sandefer, meanwhile, was about to lose his ability to offer students an MBA because Hardin-Simmons University, through which Acton was accredited, was cutting its budget. Sandefer needed something new to entice students.
Two months after their lunch date, the duo announced the nine-month Peterson Fellowship at the Acton School of Business. “The Acton curriculum provides an institutional analog to the psychological content I have been sharing in my online videos, podcasts and books,” Peterson wrote in a blog post about the fellowship, which would consist of a four-month online course followed by five months of in-person instruction in Austin. The cost: $65,000. The post cited Acton’s top marks in “student competitiveness” in the Princeton Review, a rating system that has no affiliation with Princeton University and is based mostly on student feedback. The fellowship’s website featured a sleek black-and-white photo of Peterson, grizzled and glancing out over a rugged landscape—more movie poster than higher-education ad. “Are you everything you could be?” it beckoned. “Choose your future.” Peterson fans were sold, and some 2,500 people applied for just 50 slots.
Ti zagledan dole, zamisljen duboko, crno odijelo, bijela kosulja … Gag me with a spoon!
Soon, there was grumbling on the Jordan Peterson subreddit, where his fans usually share memes and debate his teachings. People began telling different versions of the same story: Acton had offered them a position in the program—so long as they accepted within 72 hours. One initially enthusiastic Redditor posted an email exchange with the school, in which he expressed concern over the vagueness of the program’s descriptions and asked how Peterson would be involved, if at all. Sandefer himself wrote back, saying, “I applaud your skepticism; it’s a valuable trait. However, it doesn’t sound as if this is the right opportunity for you. The work we’ll be doing together requires a tolerance for ambiguity and will be messy.” In his post, the Redditor appealed to Peterson directly, explaining, “The Acton MBA seems like a wonderful standard program, but fellows applied for this because of YOUR NAME, not because of Acton. If you just signed off on this as a branding deal I’m profoundly disappointed.”
Sandefer didn’t respond to an interview request, but I spoke to two Peterson fellows, one from the inaugural class in 2019 and another from the second cohort, which was cut short by Covid before in-person classes began. They told me that Peterson had no direct involvement in the program—no face-to-face time over Zoom or the like—but that the fellows briefly beta tested educational projects related to his online institution. When Acton lost its MBA-granting status because of budget cuts, the school spun it thusly: “In order to allow us to innovate freely and continue to disrupt business education, we are relinquishing any and all accreditation to free us from bureaucratic constraints.”
Tolerance for ambiguity, genijalno, ge-ni-ja-lno, ovo moram zapamtiti, kad mi sljedeci put ne uspije nekog zavalit za neke pare, look you obviously have no tolerance for ambiguity
