Jordan Peterson says a famous US program proved you cannot give kids a lasting IQ boost, even with early enrichment "there was a huge program in the United States started in the 1960s which was supported by conservatives and liberals alike called Head Start" "the kids who went to Head Start did do better than their age matched and socioeconomic matched peers who didn't go to Head Start, but the differences disappeared by grade five or grade six" "so there was no improvement in cognitive function" "that was really saddening... because it was a good hypothesis. Like the idea that you could get a leap ahead early seems so obvious that you'd think it was incontrovertible. It just happens not to be true" If you're new here, follow Toan Truong for the sharpest lessons from the world's best minds. — Jordan B Peterson ( Dr Jordan B Peterson ), clinical psychologist, on Jordan B Peterson's ( Dr Jordan B Peterson ) Answer the Call

Pavel Durov says he was put in an experimental Soviet school that tried to overwhelm a teenage brain on purpose, and the results was mind boggling... "At the age of 11, I got the opportunity to enter an experimental school in St. Petersburg" "You would have four foreign languages at least including Latin, English, French, German. In addition, you can get ancient Greek. You would have classes like biochemistry or psychoanalysis or evolutionary psychology." "Since it was an experimental class, it wasn't possible to become a straight A student to be excellent in all the subject. It was like considered crazy to even try." "You're just pushing the limits of the human mind, four languages in parallel, math, evolutionary psychology, just overwhelming the mind and see what happens."

Jordan Peterson says intelligence and being a good person have zero correlation "there's no correlation between morality and intelligence. Like literally none" "conscientious people can keep long-term contracts. They tend to abide by their word. The correlation between conscientiousness and IQ is zero. Zero, right? Which is quite remarkable" "there's also no correlation between agreeableness and intelligence. So character and intelligence are not the same thing" If you're new here, follow Toan Truong for the sharpest lessons from the world's best minds. — Jordan Peterson ( Dr Jordan B Peterson ), clinical psychologist, on Answer the Call

A mom's own daughter broke her heart with four words about school "Halfway through second grade my daughter came home from school and she looked at me and she said, 'I don't want to go to school tomorrow.' I said, 'What do you mean? You love school.' And she just looked at me and she's like, 'School is so boring.'" "I mean, I just had this moment of like, oh my gosh, in two and a half years, they've taken a kid who is like tailor made to love school and be interested and want to learn and they've wiped that passion away." "She looked at me and she's like, 'Mackenzie, this is like trying to steer the Titanic. It just can't be done.' And I knew at that point like this is my call to exit." Hi!

Jordan Peterson says most teachers can't explain why the subject they teach even matters... "My experience in school was and this included university was that it was often the case that the teachers who were attempting to impart information actually had no idea whatsoever why what they were teaching was good for anything" "I especially remember that in mathematics because I would ask the educator why I needed to know this and they didn't know" "Well, if you don't know what it's good for, why should I be interested in it?"

Have an eye for reflection: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - Albert Einstein Mistakes are useless without reflection. When analyzing the process, find the hidden patterns, train of thoughts, and beliefs that control the outcome.
