My superego and my ego walk into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll need to see your id."

Instant gratification let you stay childish and immature.

Sacrifying your confort for a greater goal is what makes you mature.

Love the "Pensioner on a slot machine" analogy

How many lecturers did this brilliant man give before they started recording them. How much value have we missed out on.

Imagine: You're a psych student at University of Toronto. It's the first day of class. Jordan Peterson beelines into the class room, places his stuff on his desk in one quick motion, then immediately — 00:00

Lucky students to have him as their teacher. Jordon Peterson continues to be one of the brightest people on our Planet!

perhaps the most important point peterson has made clear. thoughts (limitations) are maps of the territory of truth (unlimited) they are not the territory itself. maps don’t update on their own to a constantly changing environment however. hence the ability of our consciousness to feel emotion, sensation (smell, taste, sight, sound, touch) & observe thought (awareness) these of which we can learn to harmonize in order to overcome the limitation of our perceptions of what is (truth)

I like that when he’s talking about being on the computer screen in the beginning he’s not making it about the younger generation and even makes a joke about people on pension which is typically older people

You know, sometimes I'm in sync with this guy and sometimes I'm not . . . and sometimes I have no idea what he's talking about, and I'm not sure if it's my fault or his . . . but he is ALWAYS fascinating to listen to. He is, in that way, like a truly funny stand up comedian. Such a comedian doesn't rely on one-liners, he is just inherently funny no matter what he's saying. While Peterson is seldom funny, he is always interesting, inherently. He has a gift.

Watching him think so hard was so appealing to me - I got too distracted to keep following his words....

[kmktruthserum]

I like how he wiped his face during an ego talk haha.

What an enlightened being, his humbleness is vibrant

My guess is, before the word "therapist" existed, there was one word for ego, and it was 'I, ' as in "'I' perceive that 'I' am wise enough to give others counsel, and that 'I' am so wise, 'I' don't need any counsel!"

[Metaphyicalsamak]

At this point in life I'm to deep in myself to explain it to other beings in the physical

[Obcordata]

My teacher started off the class by well, jumping and saying, “I WANT”

[brendonstauffer]

Lol man turned around and said “You can only see a very narrow chunk of the electromagnetic spectrum☝🏻”

The ego is the merge of awareness & thoughts

In the context of Freudian psychoanalysis, the epigenetic conscious working model of id and ego can be described by two dominating feature of id and ego.
Id is the affect part of a persons identity . id or the affects are dominated by value based emotions .the id is filled with obsessions and natural tendency of psyche to empirically function in accordance to similarity seeking thus is basically empirical or aligned with empiricism.
Ego is the rational part of a persons identity . ego or rationales are dominated by logic based opinions. The ego is filled with doubtings and natural tendency of psyche to rationally function in accordance to difference seeking thus is basically rational or aligned with rationalism.
A superego or virtuous personality which grounds its mentality based value-based function of id, prefer to moralize and direct its thoughts and behaviors in accordance to internal ethics.
A superego or virtuous personality which grounds its mentality based logic-based function of ego, prefer to reason and direct its thoughts and behaviors in accordance to internal reason.
Speaking of psychotherapy, since structuralism is a conscious working model reaching from value to rationality , that is to say reaching from id to ego, thus a person who can emphasize on how its values and thus emotions form its thoughts and reasons is using structuralism as a psycho-therapy.
Speaking of psychoanalysis, since constructivism is a conscious working model reaching from rationality to value, that is to say reaching from ego to id, thus a person who can emphasize on how its thoughts and thus reasons form its values and emotions is using constructivism as a psycho-therapy.
In practice, the structural psychotherapy is a diagnosis approach.
In practice, the constructivist psychotherapy is a curing approach.
