Jordan Peterson on Cleaning Your Room - The Joe Rogan Experience
“My sense is that if you wanna change the world you start from yourself and work outwards because you build your competence that way.” – Jordan Peterson, hos Joe Rogan
“The world presents itself as a series of puzzles some of which you’re capable of solving and some of which you’re not. You have many puzzles in front of you that you could solve but you choose not to, those are the things that way on your conscious. It’s like “I should really do this” but you don’t.”
– Jordan Peterson, hos Joe Rogan
“Cause the question is, how much are we contributing to the fact that life is an existential catastrophe and a tragedy. How much is our own corruption contributing to that. That’s a really a worthwhile question. The things you leave undone. Because you’re angry, you’re resentful or you’re lazy. You have inertia. Well, you consult your conscience and it says, well you know that place over there could use a little work, it’s the same as working on yourself. And so you clean that up because you can, and then things are a little clearer around you. And you’re a little better off because you practice a bit. And so you’re a little stronger and then something else manifest itself and says, well maybe you can take a crack at fixing me too. So you decide to do that and that gets a little more pristine. You know and soon..
It’s humble because you’re not exceeding your domain of competence. It’s like “don’t be fixing up the economy” 18 teen year old. You don’t know anything about the economy, it’s a massive complex machine beyond anyone’s understanding and you mess with at your parole. So can you even clean up your own room? No. Well you think about that, you should think about that. Cause if you can’t even clean up your own room who the hell are you to give advice to the world.” – Jordan Peterson, hos Joe Rogan

Clean Your Room (Animated Jordan Peterson Speech)
Clean Your Room by Jordan B. Peterson
“So imagine that you’re dealing with someone hoarding, there’s like 10 thousand things in there house, there’s maybe a hundred boxes and you open up a box and in the box there’s some pens and some old passports, some checks and their collection of silver dollars and some hyperemic needles some dust and you know a dead mouse . There’s boxes and boxes and boxes like that in the house. It’s absolute chaos in there, absolute chaos. Not order, chaos. And then you think. Is that their house or is that their being? Is that their mind? And the answer is, there is no difference. There’s no difference. So you know I could say, well if you wanna organize you psyche you could start by organizing your room. You go clean up under your bed and you make your bed and you organize the papers on your desk.
And you think: just exactly what are you organizing, are you organizing the objective world or are you organizing your field of being. Your field of total experience. And Jung believed that, and I think there’s a Buddhist doctrine that sort of nested in there that at the highest level of psychologic integration there’s no difference between you and what you experience. And it’s very useful to think that way because you might ask. What could you do to improve yourself? Well let’s step one step backwards, the first question might be “Why should you even bother improving yourself? And I think the answer to that is something like: So you don’t suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. That’s not some casual self-help doctrine it’s that if you don’t organize yourself properly you’ll pay for it, and in a big way. And so will the people around you. And you could say, “well I don’t care about that” but that’s not actually true. You actually do care about that because if you’re in pain you will care about it. It’s very rare that you could find someone who’s in excruciating pain would ever say “well it would be not better if I was out of this”. You get your act together so that there isn’t any more stupid pain around you than necessary.
I like the idea of the room because you can do that at a drop of a hat. You know.. Go back to where you live and sit down and think. Okay, I’m gonna make this place better for half an hour. What should I do? You have to ask! And things will just pop up like mad and it’s partly because your mind is a very strange thing. As soon as you give it an aim, a genuine aim, it will reconfigure the world and keeping with that aim is actually how you see to begin with. And so if you set it a task you have to be genuine about it which is why you have to bring your thoughts and emotions together and then you have to get them in your body so you’re acting consistently. You have to be genuine about the aim but once you aim the world will reconfigure itself around that aim. It’s very strange.” – Jordan B. Peterson
