Dear 2016 Wilbert Ross, You probably didn't know it then, but that first step onto the national stage would be the beginning of a journey that would take you places you could only dream of. You didn't win that competition, but you left something behind. An impression. Years later,...

Scott Jennings just made a FOOL out of 25-year-old Democrat wunderkind, David Hogg. Hogg used his time on CNN to blame Republicans for the government shutdown, even accusing Scott Jennings of not caring about people in his home state on ACA subsidies. He was silenced pretty quickly. HOGG: “The entire reason the government is not open right now is because Democrats refuse to be complicit in having millions of Americans, including 100,000 in Kentucky, you’re home state if I’m remembering correctly Scott, that rely on ACA, that would see their premiums rise several dozen percent.” When Jennings finally jumped into the discussion, he came armed with the facts and Hogg didn’t stand a chance. JENNINGS: “But David, you would admit that the ACA was a Democrat legislation, yes?” “And you would admit that the subsidies that we’re talking about now were passed by Democrats, yes?” “And you would admit that the sunset provision in the subsidies, which comes up at the end of the year, was in place because of Democrats, yes?” “Now you want to make it a Republican problem. These are not the same issues.” “You could open the government today and then you could negotiate with Republicans about ACA subsidies.” “And by the way, my suspicion is and you know this, there are probably and I know there are some House Republicans that would love to negotiate on it, but under duress, under a hostage taking situation, connecting disconnected issues.” “And now you’re throwing SNAP onto it. You’re throwing all the federal workers who aren’t being paid onto it, all because of this fight that you wandered into, because of your wing of the Democratic Party.” “YOU ALL led to this SNAP crisis. You all led to this crisis of the government being closed and you don’t know how to get out of it!”

Alan Watts poses a question that stops you in your tracks: "Suppose you are God, suppose you have all time, all eternity, and all power at your disposal. You were given the power to dream any dream you wanted to dream every night, what would you do?" He walks through what would happen, step by step. At first, you'd fulfil every wish imaginable. "You would have all the pleasures you could imagine: the most marvelous meals, the most entrancing love affairs, the most romantic journeys. You could listen to music such as no mortal has heard and see landscapes beyond our wildest dreams." You'd spend night after night in paradise. Maybe a whole month of nights. But then something would shift. Perfection would get boring. "You'd begin to think, 'Well, I've seen quite a bit. Let's spice it up. Let's have a little adventure.'" So you'd introduce danger. You'd rescue princesses from dragons, engage in battles, become a hero. And as time went on, you'd push further and further. Then comes the real turning point. Watts explains: "At some point in the game, you would say, 'Tonight I am going to dream in such a way that I don't know that I'm dreaming,' so that you would take the experience of the dream for complete reality." You'd forget you were God entirely. You'd dream yourself into poverty, disease, agony not out of cruelty, but for the contrast. For the moment you wake up and realise none of it was real. "And you would say, 'Wow man, that was a gas.'" Then Watts delivers the punchline: "How do you know that that's not what you're doing already? You sitting there with all your problems, with all your whole complicated life situation it may just be the very dream you decided to get into." And his final line reframes everything: "If you like it, crazy; if you don't like it, what fun it'll be when you wake up." It's a perspective that doesn't dismiss suffering. It recontextualises it. What if the struggles, the uncertainty, the messiness of life aren't things happening to you, but experiences you chose for yourself? What would change about how you approach today if you believed you'd chosen this exact life on purpose?

Jordan Peterson: "If you can't fix your room, you can't fix your life" "Why should you even bother improving yourself? The answer is something like: so you don't suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. And maybe so others don't have to either. It's not some casual self-help doctrine. If you don't organize yourself properly, you'll pay for it. In a big way. And so will the people around you." Peterson continues: "You can say, 'Well, I don't care about that.' But that's actually not true, you do care about it. Because if you're in pain, you will care about it. It's very rare that you can find someone in excruciating pain who would say, 'Well, it would be no better if I was out of this.' Pain brings the idea that it would be better if it didn't exist along with it. It's incontrovertible." On how to start: "Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it. You can do this in a room. Sit in your bedroom and think: 'If I wanted to spend ten minutes making this room better, what would I have to do?' You have to ask yourself that, it's a genuine question. And things will pop out. There's a stack of papers bugging you. Some rubbish behind your computer monitor you haven't attended to for six months. Cables tangled up." He explains why this matters: "If you were coming to see me for psychotherapy, the easiest thing would be to get you to organize your room. You think, is that psychotherapy? It depends on how you conceive the limits of your being. Start where you can start. If something announces itself as in need of repair that you could repair, fix it. Fix a hundred things like that, your life will be a lot different." On fixing what you repeat every day: "People tend to think of their daily routines as trivial. You get up, brush your teeth, have breakfast. Those probably constitute 50% of your life. People think, they're mundane, I don't need to pay attention to them. No, that's exactly wrong. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. Hands down. Just do the arithmetic." On staying within your competence: "Sometimes you don't know how to fix something. Imagine you're walking down the street and there's a guy who's alcoholic and schizophrenic and has been homeless for ten years. That's a problem. It would be good if you could fix it, but you haven't got a clue. You walk around that and go find something you could fix. Just because something announces itself as in need of repair doesn't mean it's you, right then and there, who should repair it. You have to have some humility. You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away." Peterson shares the key insight: "As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim. That's actually how you see to begin with. You've all seen the video where you watch basketballs being tossed back and forth, and while you're doing that, a gorilla walks into the middle of the video and you don't see it. If you thought about that experiment for five years, that would be about the right amount of time to spend thinking about it." He explains what it reveals: "What it shows you is that you see what you aim at. If you can get one thing through your head, that would be a good one. You see what you aim at. One inference you might draw from that is: be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you. So if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is: are you aiming at the right thing?"
