Just a couple of days ago I was trying to figure out why it is that when i write down something, just to get a better understanding of where I sit in any given situation, I find that the position of the writing becomes what I begin to believe even though I was just writing from that perspective to see it clearer for inspection.
Then I heard Jordan Peterson on this video.
So, what do I do with this information?
Perhaps that’s why our school system has such an impact of the belief systems of all their students.
How can I use this to create a belief system?
Answer: Write a 500 word essay on why it a valid belief system.
So if that’s possible with one 500 word essay what’s possible with 12 years of school. If they want those students to believe a certain thing there’s really nothing you can do about it.
But yet some students come out still with an alternate worldview. That’s amazing!
And reflecting on my own life there’s always been an internal witness that told me a lot of what they were teaching me was not true so I just would not believe it.
