| EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: When the stiff “rational” modern feels an emotion they think: “bad chemicals!“ This triggers them to reach over to the the box of “good chemicals” on their bedside locker and knock back a dose of pills. A magic potion that saves their soul from the demons that haunt them.  When the dose has settled, the bad chemicals go away and they are able to go back to gobbling down their radioactive meal while watching their beloved jargon report for free online. This is apparently enlightened behavior.Of course there is a better way of looking at these bad chemicals. Imagine instead that these emotions you see as “chemicals” have a purpose: to make you move. To quote the titanic guru Tony Robbins; “The word Emotion means Energy in motion.” Imagine, they are not some conglomerate of demons trying to wound you. They are animating forces driving you towards Life. This is a radical shift on many levels, but most importantly of all, because it means that they are on your side.SECRET SUPERPOWERS  Your emotions live deep within you ready to move you when needs be. They are the voices of Life. They give you zaps of motivation to move you towards healthy behaviours. They fill you with desire for rich food. They jolt you with lust for a beautiful person.This is not a radical idea. When Charles Darwin suggested that we evolved by the guidance of our Will to Survive, he set the stage for this idea. Nietzsche liked this, but felt be that it was a little too… English. Don’t get Neech wrong here, the English are a lovely set of people, but they aren’t known for being emotional. Life merely “survives”? Life wants more that simply “surviving”. Life wants it all. It was willing to be nasty in order to get it. Life yearns for:WealthBeautiful loversNaked statues of itselfEmpires in its name Life is bombastic.  THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVENietzsche saw that this was the only way that explained our emotions. Our social anxiety screams at us to “be acceptable” so we get the respect and status that brings resources and hot lovers. Our frustration barks at us to raise our standards so we don’t end up pathetic and bottom of the barrel. Our guilt attacks us for making cringey mistakes that might lose us useful allies in the struggle for position and status. All these negative feelings that we call demons or bad chemicals are on our side. This laid the foundation for the movement we now call Psychology. He sadly wasn’t paid for this and went insane.FREUD AND JUNG Freud read Nietzsche and found this idea. He took this idea and adapted it into The Libido. He decided that this Libido uses all your emotions to try get you to fu*k. This was his definition of Love. (You’ll soon learn that intellectuals like defining Love.) He was horrified by this Love. He told his wife that they are never having sex again. He went Nonut for Life at 40 years old. He then told everyone he had never read Nietzsche, despite his diaries being packed full of Nietzsche quotes… and spent the rest of his days calling people perverts. He got well paid for this. Meanwhile, his student Carl Jung was mad at Freud for being grumpy and saying all our emotions are leading us to only Sex. Jung asserted that this Will to Life also wanted us to achieve unity with the astral plane and predict the future. Freud said: “no its not.” Jung then told Freud to fu*k off, defined Love as “the opposite of what I feel for Freud”, built his own homemade Castle and told everyone to draw circles because they were schizophrenic. He got well paid for this.  FORGOTTEN HISTORY Overtime this type of drama continued.Psychology got so bogged down in arguments about what Love is by people who hated each other that everyone sort of unconsciously agreed that all emotions are evil and we may as well get well paid for bickering. So they invented psychiatry and they started selling drugs. Then Richard Dawkins appeared and basically said that emotions are not only evil, but actually pseudoscience. He got very well paid for saying this. Everyone on Reddit agreed and “emotions” became bad chemicals that you can get rid of during the week with Bezos and with MDMA on the weekend. Jordan Peterson fought back and popularized real Psychology again. He got well paid for doing that, but then got caught off guard by the people selling him drugs. Now it’s a wasteland out there. I guess I’ll have to give it a shot.  BOYOISMI’ve now been working with people 1 on 1 long enough now to know for sure what works, and what is wrong. The big mistake is how you see emotions. We Westerners spend our days wired on a litany of different drugs and distractions all day so we can avoid what’s underneath that haze: Fear. We’re afraid of facing these emotions. We are afraid of looking them in the eye and asking them: “why are you torturing me?“ We are afraid because we know what they’ll say: “I expect better“. We don’t want to hear this. Having something judge you, even if it’s yourself, is nasty. We’d rather fry them to death with chemicals. We’d rather lie ourselves with comforts. We’d rather distract ourselves with bad habits. We’d rather redefine Love as non-judgmental rather than face it’s standards. And we’ll pay people to give us all the above.  NO MOREI don’t know about you, but I’m sick of it. Westerners are an embarrassment these days.UncoolPoorly dressedOverweightSnobby without the style to back it upSo very caring about everythingQuick to tell you everything nasty is evil. They’re like the teachers pet if class washeld in McDonalds. I see that this is all down to one mistake. One first principle. Avoidance. Avoidance of pain. Avoidance of conflict. Avoidance of emotions. My psychology is the opposite to this. My psychology seeks tension, pain, conflict. My psychology is built on Nietzsche and Jung; the firm hands that will spank your tender mind rosy red. |
