    'Guilt of unlived life'. Looks back at youtube history. Oh dear....

    It's the obsession with death and anxiety that is dumb. Shopping, drinking and watching TV is the right way to live.

    "Turning away from a flight from death, you see a horizon of opportunity that puts you in a state of anticipatory resoluteness with solicitous regard for others that makes your life seem like an adventure perfused with unshakable joy."

    The idea that we are insignificant is also a cultural trap, it's just the modern current one. We decide the measure of significance.

    'You could die at ANY moment." He's says that like it's a bad thing.

    I believe death anxiety comes from believing that we are some grand construct that is significant and independent from nature. We fear the death of our identities, which society urges us to develop our entire lives, more than death itself. I believe people that live in balance with nature, those who have not been conditioned to build intricate identities as we have, have an easier time facing death.

    17 minute conversation felt like it was 60 seconds. What a powerful mindset.

    Blown away by this complete discussion, but this portion is utterly mindblowing. Thank you both.

    greatest quote i adopted much later in life was, "regrets will chew away your life and it will come from indecision, not the decisions you'll make in life." That is what haunts me but also makes me happy with current self. Great convo.

    I loved this interview. Solomon seems like such a nice guy

    One major difference between Peterson and Solomon: Solomon is so much more in harmony with his own fears and anxieties and it allows him to live kindly ambitiously and heroically.
