Life Is Not A Waiting Room

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, Biblical Series XV: Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors:

"Imagine that something glimmers before you, its an interest that is dawning. And you decide- Well, first of all you are paralyzed. You think: "Well, how do I know if I should pursue that? It's probably a stupid idea." and proper response to that is: "You're right! It probably is a stupid idea". Because almost all ideas are stupid. And so, the probability that as you move forward on your adventure that you are going to get it right the first time is zero. It's just not gonna happen.

And so then you might think, "Maybe I will just wait around until I get the right idea". Which people do, right? So they are like forty year old thirteen year olds, which is not a good idea. So they wait around until- It's Waiting For Godot. Until they finally got it right, but the problem is you are too stupid to know when you got it right, so waiting around isn't going to help. Because even if the perfect opportunity manifested itself to you, the probability that you would recognize it as the perfect opportunity is zero. You might even think its the worst possible idea that you have heard of anywhere. Highly likely. Nietzsche called that a "Will to Stupidity", which I really liked. Because he thought of stupidity as being- you know, you have to take it into account - fundamentally, and work with it.

And so you can take these tentative steps on your pathway to destiny and you can assume that you are gonna do it badly. And thats pretty useful, you dont have to beat yourself up. Its pretty easy to do it badly. But the thing is its better to do it badly than not to do it at all. And thats the continual message that echoes through these historical stories in genesis. These are flawed people. They should have gotten the hell out of their house way before they did. And they go out and they stumble around in tyranny, famine, self-betrayal and violence
But it's a hell of a lot better than just rotting away at home."
