The song Egg was singing:
"Prince Baelor was the firstborn. Prince Maekar sprang out last.
Daemon was the bastard, so they kicked his bastard —
Grass is green in summer, green grass I adore.
But grass is red all over when you kill a rebel—" #AKOTSK

Bret Weinstein just said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.
Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.
Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.
Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.
And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.
Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?
Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.
Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?
Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.

"you aren't punished for your sins but by them"
"your greatest gift is also your biggest challenge"
"your best quality and your worst quality are the same quality"
"you aren't rewarded for your devotion but by it"
"the wound is the gift"
it's all the same insight

One thing that's blowing my mind from reading the Gospels and their history: Jesus seems to be talking about Heaven *arriving on earth*
There's little evidence that he was talking about a Heaven the soul ascends to after death if you're a good boy
Moreover there's not much evidence that Jesus believed in a Hell where your soul descends to suffer eternal torment if you're a bad boy
Overall, his example – as God incarnating in a human body – and his word seem to be teaching about God transforming society, the body, the world of matter
This is so radically different from contemporary Christianity that I feel confused

Peterson’s Maps of Meaning (1999) is well worth the read, but it can appear a daunting tome. Fortunately, Peterson wrote two concise scientific papers, distilling key points, which I highly recommend, whether as stand-alone introductions or as guides to decide if the full book is worth your time:
The Meaning of Meaning (2008)
Three Forms of Meaning and the Management of Complexity (2013)
I am just now re-reading them with great joy.
