We are continuing on in the first rule of Jordan B. Peterson's sequel to "12 Rules for Life" - Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement. This time we are talking about how good it is to be on the different levels of the hierarchy.


Comments
- Tried a different camera angle for one shot, and... it looked better in the test shot than final, but, eh. These things happen. Live and learn.
- I imagine Peterson got into Harry Potter in the time between books and enjoyed the story - hence its inclusion in this book but not the previous. I don't think it's because of the author's stance on a population segment, but I could be wrong.
- Reference 8 data discussion: because my plots are based on aggregate data, they may be a little off the values that would be found if using the raw data. I know. But it should serve for the purposes of discussion.
