Peterson's found you can (indirectly) find happiness in responsibility. And high five yourself if you get what that's referencing. Every single time I read the section title, I would get that song lodged in my head for hours.
If you've been missing the more scientific content - good news! It's roughly half this video. Care of the lobster man himself. Although, probably not in a way the Bernt daddy would find favorable.
I'm not sure why one of the camera angles has somewhat tin-can-ish sounding audio. Trying to post-fix it only really made it worse, so... sorry. I'll hopefully get it more consistent next time.

Cut blah blah from the video:
In the Kirby et al. 1999 experiment, participants were told there was a 1-in-6 chance they’d actually be getting the money, so to answer these seriously. Subsequent research found that people’s answers are basically the same whether or not actual money is
on the line, so of course, participants haven’t been told that was ever an option or received payment since that finding was published.
Regarding multiple regressions, these sorts of analyses were never my bread and butter. If you need a repeated-measures MANOVA done, I'm your cognitive psychologist, but these? Ehhhh.... So if a statistician shows up in my comment section clarifying or modifying something I say... go with what they say

![Petersons angry downward spiral | Cog psych take on 12 Rules for Life, Rule 6 Pt1 | #11
How to describe the progression of this first section of 12 Rules for Life, Rule 6 (Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world) without tripping Algi...
Peterson quotes [redacted] to illustrate the nihilism [redacted] have, something he argues leads to their acts. He argues that everyone harbors these [redacted], but most dont act on them. Peterson asserts that needing to blame someone or something for bad things happening is inevitable (I counter this assertion). Tolstoy is brought up to support Petersons claim that the strong choice when faced with nihilism is to [redacted], but that Tolstoy wasnt pessimistic enough because [huge redacted] (citation needed). I recontextualize the Tolstoy thread in the [redacted].
