9/28/2022 Jordan B. Peterson and MichaƩla Schippers - Death Spiral; we're in an epidemic of narcissism and bad decision makingRead NowJust like an army of ants in the animal kingdom, individuals, groups and even whole societies are sometimes caught up in a death spiral. A vicious cycle of self-reinforcing dysfunctional behavior. According to prof. Schippers, a death spiral is characterized by continuous flawed decision making where one bad decision leads to another, which can even lead to the collapse of an individual, group or society. This conversation with Prof. Jordan B. Peterson was recorded backstage at RAI Amsterdam sept 25th 2022, just before his Beyond Order show. Prof. Peterson says that an important problem is wilful blindness, people keep themselves intentionally unaware of facts, i.e. they turn a blind eye. Another problem he points out is an epidemic of narcissism, or self-love. As a solution he thinks people should become more involved in society. In order for people to find out what they can contribute to society, participating in self-authoring https://www.selfauthoring.com/future-authoring and Letters to the future https://www.greatcitizensmovement.org/how-to is a good start. Also, reading and signing the Great Citizens Declaration https://www.greatcitizensmovement.org/signing-the-declaration/ might be a good first step on escaping the ant mill and creating a brighter future for ourselves and the world.
