JORDAN PERTERSON – DONT BE HARMLESS


That’s why a dragon hoards gold, it’s like what’s up with that, well it’ll eat you and it will but it has gold well, so what do you do about that? Because it’s it’s paradoxical demands, well what you want to do is face the dragon and get the damn gold, that’s what you want to do.

Well you have to be a paradoxical being, even to do that. So you know in a hobbit for example when what’s-his-name Frodo right? isn’t it’s Bilbo in the hobbit? Because as a good citizen he’s just not enough to conquer a dragon, he has to also become a bad citizen in some sense, he has to incorporate the part of himself that’s monstrous, let’s say and develop that and hone it.

And that’s to say, that well if you’re harmless, you’re not virtuous, you’re just harmless, you’re like a rabbit, rabbit isn’t virtuous, it’s just just can’t do anything except, get eaten.

It’s not virtuous, if you’re a monster and you don’t act monstrously then you’re virtuous, but you also have to be a monster while you see this all the

time Harry Potter’s like that too.

It’s like he’s flawed, he’s hurt, he’s got evil in him, he can talk to snakes, he

breaks rules all the time, all the time he’s not at obedient at all, but you know.

He has a good reason for breaking the rules and if you couldn’t break the

rules/troublemakers if they didn’t break the rules, they wouldn’t attain the highest goal. So it’s very peculiar but it’s very common mythological notion you know the hero has to be there, has to be a monster but a controlled monster.
