Jordan B. Peterson Reveals How Our Brain Generates Potential Futures and Future Selves

In this captivating video, renowned psychologist and author Jordan B. Peterson shares a powerful message about how our brains generate potential futures and future selves. Peterson explains that when we think about the future, we create a multitude of potential environments and then generate a sequence of avatars of ourselves to live in those fictional futures. We then observe what happens as that avatar lives in each of those hypothetical scenarios.

Peterson emphasizes that if the avatar fails, we don't act it out. Instead, we kill off that potential future self in our imagination. While this process can be painful, Peterson explains that it's far better than the alternative of dying ourselves. As far as we know, only human beings have the ability to invent possible futures and future selves and then kill them off in our imagination.

In this insightful video, Peterson delves deeper into the implications of this process, discussing how it can shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in profound ways. He also shares practical tips for harnessing the power of our imagination to create positive outcomes in our lives.

Whether you're a fan of Peterson's work or just curious about the inner workings of the human mind, this video is sure to offer valuable insights and inspiration. So why not hit play and explore the fascinating world of potential futures and future selves with Jordan B. Peterson?
