That we are not the creators is reinforced throughout our education; we are told what to think (not how to), what to do (not how to decide what to), what the facts are (not how to establish them), who the genuises were (not what genius is), etc. Fully conditioned for adulthood.

We enter the world of work ready for a lifetime of orders and wanting to be the one to give them - not wanting to be creative. It isn't incentivised by the world of work; acquiring increasing levels of order-issuing rank is. Creativity is not only not valued, it is mistrusted.

Couple all this with globalism and the increasing size and dominance of corporations; you can almost never make it to the top. 99% are direct order-takers. Essentially, nobody in a corporation has control over their own work direction, methods, diary, pricing.

Another aspect of the human condition that religion obscures in us, perhaps splits from us... The spirit. In Christianity, Jesus is the holy spirit. The spirit of god. For man and woman, it is out of reach. Again, this is wrong. The spirit is within us from birth.

You knew this as a child, before the education system took ahold of you, and before the world of work. The institutions we have built were designed to kill the spirit.

We have to question the foundations of modern society. These religious teachings which destroy creativity and suppress the spirit are the underpinnings of our insitutions of education, work, economics, law, and the unspoken rules of society. Basically everything.

Perpetual economic growth of domestic product is the cherry on the cake, provided by the nation-state - the institution which holds these other archaic institutions in place. It ensures that we can never escape their grip on our whole lives. Creativity? We watch it on tv.

This is why Jordan Peterson is wrong. And why a whole new generation of young men are leading themselves into some very old patterns of abuse. Peterson tells them they're not creative. That's because he firmly believes in the institution of religion, and all built atop it.

Peterson believes in an old version of manliness, designed for a world rapidly disappearing. One of daily toil, hard graft, being the breadwinner, and doing as one was told by a higher-ranked man. He also both reinforces in his material, and suggests, that women are not capable.

He suggests women are not capable in the world of work, not compatible with men there, & incompetent parents without men. The man is supposed to come home after a hard day's graft, & fix everything in the home the woman let go to shit. Watch for subtext.https://youtu.be/J54FMA895OA

I agree with most of this. Altho I enjoy a lot of Peterson’s Jungian psych stuff. I haven’t heard him say anything dodgy despite all the videos I’ve watched & all the criticism he gets

Replying to @cosimia_
He concerns me when he uses his platform to, for instance, 'question' whether men and women can share a workplace. If you take that to its logical conclusion, you end up with men's jobs and women's jobs. Men's jobs being the biggest paid ones... we go back several decades.
