Vision and Destiny: Episode 2 Review The Minnesota Republic – Kent Kaiser

The second episode of Dr. Jordan Petersons Vision and Destiny on the Daily Wire+ starts to get a bit more political than the first. During the first episode, Peterson explores the idea of vision and why it is necessary to have any sort of walkable pathway through life. One of the more profound ideas that I took away from the first episode was that we can let our ideas die instead of us. This outlook towards life really shifted the way that I look at decision making, and optimizing the way forward. The first episode was much more abstract, as it dealt with the abstractions of having a vision, or being a visionary.

The following episode is titled The Identity Crisis. In this episode, we dive deeper into the pathology and incoherence of gender ideology, gender affirming care, the fundamental differences between men and women, and why they are important to acknowledge. In the opening of this episode, the clinical psychologist breaks down how there are generally five different personality and temperament attributes that people have cross-culturally. Known as the Big 5, they are Extroversion, Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. Every person on the planet has some form of these traits within their personality, as they all vary on a scale. Women and men differ slightly in their natural adoption of these traits. Women, on average, are higher in negative emotion and higher in agreeableness than men are. This is because the world is objectively more dangerous for women than it is for men, and they have been biologically wired to care for infants, who are virtually the most vulnerable beings on earth. Despite this fact, there is no shortage of women who carry more masculine traits, and men who carry more feminine traits. This is where the confusion begins.

It is fundamentally much harder for those who have conflicting personalities to their biological sex to adopt their role in the world. However, Peterson states that this does not mean that they are born in the wrong body. The term gender is one that is not very specific, as oftentimes people who claim to have an unconventional gender identity also claim that their identity is based on what they feel that they are. This temperamental variability has virtually nothing to do with identity. Identity is something that must be negotiated. You must negotiate it with yourself, but it also has to be something that is discussed and implemented within your network. It is common to hear someone with an independent identity to affirm the idea that it frees them. However, as Peterson points out, it has nearly the opposite effect in the medium to long term. This brings us back to the network. If your identity is one that nobody, or nearly nobody, can understand, then nobody will have any idea what to do with you, and cast you further into self doubt about who you are. If you insist that things must be your way or the highway, then people will likely choose to go look for someone else to hang around.

Jordan brings his clinical psychology background to the forefront, exclaiming that gender affirming care is completely disgraceful to the therapeutic practice. He explains that it is not a therapists job to affirm anything about any one of their patients, but instead they should aid their patient in negotiating a functional identity with the outside world. The following are some of the steps that Peterson listed as a guide for helping someone build this identity:

As a frequent Jordan Peterson follower and listener, I see the pattern of a game, or the purpose of play frequently being brought up. This is easy to understand, as many people know that good sportsmanship is arguably the most important aspect of playing a game. This is because if you are a good sport, then people will continue to play further iterations of the game with you. Ideally, you can become very skilled at the game, but combine your skill with a high standard of iterated game ethic, and you will become the best player.

Admittedly, I often find myself being unable to disagree with anything that Jordan says. Maybe this is because I am relatively inexperienced with life, and I have no background to disprove his claims. On the flip side, I find that the ideas that he articulates are extremely applicable across different areas of life. This is why I continue to listen. I hope to one day be able to poke holes in his arguments, but the sheer amount of thought put into these arguments is enough to lay my disagreements to rest.

As for this episode, it digs into highly politicized areas. Truth be told, it is hard for me to even fathom that these ideas are now considered to be political. Many people who tend to disagree with what Peterson has to say often do not have an argument to back themselves up. I think this is because he is right. As for how this relates to the University of Minnesota and my experience with DEI policies, I think it is about time that the pendulum starts to swing the other way. Many of these leftist ideologies seep into the cracks of my classes, and my student email box. Some may ask: How does someone elses idea of how they live their life affect your idea of how to live yours? I would say that it affects my life because many of these ideologies are now being implemented at a federal level. There is no wonder that they find their way down the hierarchy. They also affect me because if I have a disagreement with something, I feel I have the obligation to at least voice my opinion and concerns. Everyone has this obligation. This is why free speech, one of the most fundamental building blocks of western civilization, should be celebrated. The freedom to think the way that I want to think, and for you to do the same, is perhaps paramount to anything else that humanity has.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and I look forward to writing the next review in the series soon. Again, I watched this series on the Daily Wire+, which is a fantastic source for conservative news, uncensored opinions, and enthralling shows like Vision and Destiny. Let me know your thoughts on these grand ideas in the comments!

On the road again – POLITICO – POLITICO

Thanks for reading Ottawa Playbook. Im your host, Maura Forrest, with Nick Taylor-Vaisey. This week, two parallel budget tours hit the road, the Emergencies Act is under scrutiny (again), and we hear theres some news about DONALD TRUMP. And this morning, well find out which Canadian astronaut gets to fly to the moon.

BUDGET TOUR The House of Commons isnt sitting again until April 17, giving the Liberals (and NDP) plenty of time to criss-cross the country and sell last weeks federal budget to Canadians (or take credit for whats in it).

Prime Minister JUSTIN TRUDEAU is in Quebecs Abitibi region today, visiting two ridings currently held by the Bloc Qubcois. Hell visit a grocery store and hold a town hall with employees of a lithium mine.

Trudeau was in Montreal over the weekend, and made a Sunday evening appearance on Tout le monde en parle the must-watch Quebec talk show where his most notable lines werent about the budget at all.

Election talk: Its been pretty clear for a while now that Trudeau isnt planning an exit anytime soon. But for the record, he told host GUY A. LEPAGE in no uncertain terms that hell be leading the Liberals into the next election.

Migrant deaths: He was also asked about the deaths last week of two migrant families attempting to enter the United States from Canada across the St. Lawrence River in Akwesasne Mohawk territory. Trudeau claimed the tragedy is proof that Canada needs controlled, regular migration, which he said is why his government reached an agreement with the U.S. to extend the Safe Third Country Agreement to the entire border.

Thats an argument unlikely to sit well with refugee advocates, who say the expanded agreement which allowed the government to close the unofficial border checkpoint at Roxham Road in Quebec will drive migrants to attempt more dangerous crossings.

Also worth noting: The PM has launched a new YouTube channel just in time for the budget tour. He already has an official channel, featuring all his official speeches and press conference clips. But this new one offers a more, shall we say, personal touch.

For example, here he is, sitting on his desk, explaining the so-called grocery rebate (7,600 views). Here he is, with a whiteboard, explaining how budgets get made (for some reason, lobbyists dont get a mention here). Here he is, in a hard hat, explaining the electric vehicle supply chain (155 views).

(Just as a point of comparison, Conservative Leader PIERRE POILIEVREs Friday video urging people to fill up their tanks ahead of the annual carbon tax increase has roughly 210,000 views but whos counting?)

Meanwhile: Trudeaus ministers will pop up today at grocery stores, union locals, universities and Royal Canadian Legion branches from Calgary to Newfoundland, where theyll no doubt highlight the budgets affordability measures and tax credits for the low-carbon economy.

NDP Leader JAGMEET SINGH is also on the road as part of his own post-budget victory tour. Hell spend the day in St. Johns, Nfld., where hell claim the governments C$13-billion dental care plan as a major NDP win.

For more on that: Heres the CBCs AARON WHERRY on how dental care is happening now because the Liberals and New Democrats were willing to sign a supply-and-confidence agreement and the NDP needed something to show for it.

ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING The Federal Court will begin hearings this morning on the federal governments invocation of the Emergencies Act during the so-called Freedom Convoy protests in February 2022.

Youll no doubt recall that Justice PAUL ROULEAU, who spearheaded the public inquiry into the use of emergency powers, concluded in February that Trudeau was justified in invoking the act to end the occupation in Ottawa and protests elsewhere in the country.

But civil liberties organizations and groups involved with the protests are taking the government to court in a separate bid to prove the Liberals didnt meet the legal threshold required to invoke the act. The hearings will take place in Ottawa today until Wednesday.

Whats at stake: Its possible the court could reach a different conclusion from Rouleau, who himself found that reasonable and informed people could look at the same situation and decide the use of emergency powers was unwarranted.

The question of whether the legal threshold for invoking the Emergencies Act was met is important not just for evaluating a historical event, but for how it might guide governments in the future, CARA ZWIBEL, a lawyer with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, said in a statement Friday. Ultimately, it is a question that can only be answered by the courts.

THE INDICTMENT We know, we know, this is a Canadian politics newsletter. But it will be difficult to ignore former U.S. President DONALD TRUMPs expected appearance in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday, following his indictment related to alleged hush money payments to porn star STORMY DANIELS.

Here are some of the latest POLITICO offerings on the unprecedented story:

9:30 a.m. (11 a.m. NDT) NDP Leader JAGMEET SINGH is in St. Johns, Nfld. for a roundtable with seniors on dental care. Hell speak with reporters at 10:45 a.m. (12:15 NDT).

5:30 p.m. (7 p.m. NDT) Singh will host a meet and greet in St. Johns, Nfld.

JOB OPENINGS ERIN OTOOLE is out. A little over a year after being ousted from the Conservative leadership, OToole announced in a statement Friday hell be resigning his Durham seat at the end of the spring session.

Heres Globals ALEX BOUTILIER with a look back at OTooles decade in federal politics, his successful leadership bid and unsuccessful election campaign, and the party infighting that cast him out.

The full tally: OTooles exit will soon bring to six the number of federal ridings in need of a byelection, including three others vacated by Conservatives: PortageLisgar (CANDICE BERGEN), Calgary Heritage (BOB BENZEN) and Oxford (DAVE MACKENZIE). Two Liberal seats Winnipeg South Centre (JIM CARR) and Notre-Dame-de-GrceWestmount (MARC GARNEAU) round out the list. Those five byelections will all need to be announced by the end of summer.

But in all six ridings, theres a good chance the real drama will have played out long before voters actually head to the polls. Poll aggregator 338Canada rates all six as safe holds for the incumbent party, meaning the nomination races are likely where its at.

Hence all the fireworks in Oxford, where Conservative party organizer ARPAN KHANNA recently won the partys nomination despite accusations of being a parachute candidate.

And at least five Conservatives are vying for the partys nomination in Bergens former Manitoba seat, including former provincial minister CAMERON FRIESEN and former MP LAWRENCE TOET.

HOW THEY REALLY FEEL Playbook got its hands on the results of a Canada Revenue Agency employee survey. The agency wanted to gauge the vibe among employees who returned to the office to do their day jobs (i.e. not to just pick up mail).

A big caveat: The November survey predated a broad-based return-to-office hybrid regime that kicked in for thousands of workers in January.

The topline numbers: More than 6,400 CRA-ers who had already returned to the office in some capacity took the survey. Fifty-six percent said they still mostly worked from home. Another 27 percent split their time between home and office. The hardcore office workers comprised 17 percent. One in four commuted to an office once a month or less.

Almost every single survey respondent 97 percent accomplished what they expected to accomplish in the office. One in four returned at their bosss request. A mere 16 percent claimed to prefer to work in the office.

Snitch watch: Twenty-eight percent of respondents observed other employees at their CRA office not following safety protocols. (The bold and underline is the agencys formatting.)

Half and half: In November, 56 percent of surveyed employees indicated they were happy to work at a CRA office. Thats a majority! But remember, the survey excluded employees who were still fully work-from-home.

The official word: A spokesperson said the agency intends to maintain key flexibilities in its application of its Directive on Virtual Work Arrangements. The CRA has continuously engaged and consulted on how we will navigate our journey to a hybrid work environment, and will continue to do so.

Are you a CRA employee? Are you happy with your return to the office? Can you simply not wait to arrive for a hard days work? Or are you a homebody? Tell us!

MARK SUTCLIFFE and CATHERINE MCKENNEY raised similar amounts during the Ottawa mayoral election campaign, but in very different ways, the CBCs JOANNE CHIANELLO reports.

Sonoma County vineyards named among 150 to visit before you die – The Santa Rosa Press Democrat

Editors note: The 11th annual North Coast Wine Challenge happens this week with 32 judges tasting roughly 1,000 wines, all made in the North Bay. The contest attracts many high-caliber wines, from Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Marin and Lake counties and parts of Solano County. To celebrate the vibrancy of Sonoma Countys wine industry, were publishing stories on diverse aspects of wine, from where and how you can learn about wine to how winemakers and grape growers are dealing with climate change. And, of course, well have the results of the North Coast Wine Challenge in The Press Democrat and pressdemocrat.com this week. We thank Sonoma-Cutrer for supporting our efforts.

One of Californias oldest pinot noir vineyards sits on Santa Rosas van der Kamp Vineyard a tiny 25-acre vineyard on the north-face bench of Sonoma Mountain.

Indigenous tribes believe the world began right on top of that mountain.

Whether thats true or not, one thing is for certain great wine begins there.

For those reasons, the Santa Rosa vineyard is among over 100 featured in 150 Vineyards You Need to Visit Before You Die, published in December 2022, by Shana Clarke.

Among other Sonoma County vineyards that made it into the book for their uniqueness-factor were Hirsch Vineyards in Healdsburg, Jordan Vineyard and Winery in Healdsburg, and Sonomas Bedrock Vineyard and Bedrock Wine Co.

It was a surprise, you know, we dont get off the mountain often, said Malia van der Kamp, 32, the vineyards winemaker who was born and raised on the land. At times were out of touch with the outside world, so its always a surprise when people hear about us and appreciate what were doing.

When a publisher asked Clarke in 2022 to author the book, she started her search for vineyards, some in Africa and Japan, that represent the wine world today and those that have laid the groundwork for various regions, she said.

To put it simply: Interesting and unique vineyards that inspire one to travel.

I want people to travel, I want people to love wine, and I hope the book can fuel a readers passion in a deeper way or spark that fire, said Clarke, a freelance journalist and author based in New York City.

Family-owned and operated van der Kamp Vineyard was spotlighted for having one of Californias oldest pinot noir vines and producing the hard-to-find Pinot Meunier.

Their vines, some of which are from the early 1950s, sit at 1,500 feet, where they are met with thick fog from opposite sides of the vineyard and battle each other, as Malias father, Martin Van der Kamp, says, for a taste of sunlight weather conditions perfect for pinot noir.

They produce rare pinot meunier and chardonnay for still and sparkling wines, which are made by Malia, who owns and operates her own wine brand. She does it all while raising her 10-month old baby, Inanna, on the vineyard.

I remember running through the vines as a kid and staying home from school to help pick grapes, said Malia, the youngest of six kids. Now my daughter gets to run through the vines.

The land, once used for trading and a sacred meeting spot for Indigenous tribes, Malia said, is used for tribal ceremonies now. And the vineyard is riddled with history theyve found several Native artifacts in the area including arrowheads and pistols.

Its truly a magical, spiritual piece of land, Malia said. The area has a bit more character.

Malias father, who was raised in Napa by an Irish immigrant mother, has made wine since the 60s, often using the vineyards fruit. Raised by a single mother, he turned to his friends fathers, all winemakers in Napa, to learn the craft.

In 1989, he and his wife, Dixie, bought the land and made the vineyard a home for their six kids. Her brother Ulysses has managed and farmed for the last 30 years, pruning every grapevine with their longtime foreman Jesus Perez Rojas, who also lives on the farm with his family.

When they bought the land, it was mainly pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, and a few acres of chardonnay and Golden Chasselas an old-time grape planted during Prohibition to make altar wines, Malia said. Since then, theyve replanted but preserved and maintained their long-beloved pinot noir vines.

When Clarke was asked what she hopes readers take away from the book, she responded, Inspiration

At Sonomas Bedrock Vineyard, wine masters take pride in their 130-year-old vines. Its why Clarke highlighted the vineyard in the book.

The Best Man That Ive Ever Met Are Very Dangerous Men: Terence Crawford Gives Platform to Bold Claims by Jordan Peterson – EssentiallySports

Terence Crawford shared a video clip of the famous clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson, on his Instagram Story. Crawford has held multiple belts over his shoulders and that too from different weight divisions. But the most consistent one is the WBO Welterweight title that hes held since the year 2018. Now, Crawford hasnt lost once in his total of 39 bouts, so he is quite a dangerous man. And recently he posted a story in the agreement with Jordan Peterson when he talked about what actually means to be a good man in its true essence.

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychologist, hes the author of several books and also has a podcast on Youtube where he regularly invites scientists and renowned researchers. It is not an exaggeration to say that Peterson is one of the most gifted minds ever to be born on this planet. So, its a great day when Crawford, who can easily be considered one of the best fighters, finds common ground with Peterson.

So in an interview, Jordan Peterson talked about his definition of a good man. And a clip of that interview was posted on Instagram by legitaction, which was later shared by Crawford. Peterson, in the clip, talks about how a man needs to be a little dangerous to be a better version of himself than being just a good man without the capability of being dangerous.

Peterson said, Maybe a man is better when hes a dangerous man whos being good than he would be if he was just a good man who wasnt capable of being dangerous.

He further added, And I believe that because the best man that Ive ever met are very dangerous men. You dont mess with them.

So, Crawford shared this clip, and added the three 100 percent emojis on the clip, to certify his agreement with the statements in front of his fans.

Well, currently the fans want to see the two dangerous men in the Welterweight division go against each other, which has been prolonged for a long time now.

So, recently Stephen Espinoza had a conversation with The DAZN Boxing Show, about the Welterweight fight that the fans are crying their lungs out for a long time. So Stephen Espinoza didnt shut down the fight and gave some positive news for the fans to rely on.

He said, There are discussions going on, I dont want to say who is talking to who.

He also added that Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr are showing interest in fighting each other, and they havent given up on the fight yet. But this wont be enough for a lot of fans, as they would still need more assurance. As even the other day, fans were in disbelief even after Mike Coppinger talked about ongoing negotiations regarding the fight.

This fight is on the wishlist of a lot of boxing fans, but it has been put on hold for such a long time, that fans wouldnt believe it to take place until and unless both fighters are standing opposite to each other inside the ring.

The Truth About Jordan Peterson’s Daughter Mikhaila’s Relationship … – TheThings

With an arrest and horrendous accusations leveled at him, there's no doubt that Andrew Tate has become one of the most controversial figures in pop culture. But his numerous and (at the time of this writing) ongoing scandals aside, one cannot deny the impact he's had on his audience.

After years of a successful kickboxing career, Andrew Tate became a celebrity when he starred in the British edition of Big Brother. Despite only appearing on the show for six days, he captivated audiences enough to amass an enormous social media following.

Similarly, Canadian psychologist, author, and public speaker Jordan Peterson also gained a significant following over the years, albeit for very different reasons. While Jordan and Andrew might not seem like they would ever cross paths due to their style, perspective on the world, and age difference, they do have one thing they have in common...

Mikhaila Peterson.

Related: The Truth About Jordan Peterson's Net Worth And How He Spends It

Mikhaila is Jordan's uber-successful daughter. Just like her father, Mikhaila has a growing business empire with a following glued to her popular podcast. And, yes, she does have a connection to Andrew Tate. Rumors claim that Mikhaila Peterson was actually Andrew Tate's girlfriend for a time. But is there any substance to this claim?

Musician Phil Collins is an example of a celebrity who has a complicated relationship with his famous daughter. But it doesn't seem as though Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson fall into that camp.

Being raised by one of the most popular figures on the internet has sparked a lot of questions about Mikhaila and her life growing up. She's been asked plenty of times on social media and in interviews what it was like being raised by Jordan.

Growing up, Mikhaila's childhood was bombarded with chronic pain. She's talked about it on her podcast, claiming that Jordan and his omnivore-based diet has helped with problems such as inflammation and depression.

Mikhaila has grown out of her rough and painful childhood and has constructed a much better adult life. Not only is she mostly physically pain-free, but she's also built a business empire that's made her quite a fortune. She's started her own self-titled podcast show that consistently gets millions of views on platforms such as Youtube and Apple Podcasts.

Her personal business Luminate Productions is an entertainment business that produces her and her father's podcasting shows. According to the company's website, they've also played a part in other products such as the apps Essay and Aim, the Supercast podcast platform, and the Understand Myself personality assessment tool.

While fans are immensely interested in Mikhaila Peterson's family background and entrepreneurial pursuits, it seems that what they want to know the most about is her dating life. Her true fans are aware that Mikhaila was married to businessman Andrey Korikov, who she shares a daughter (Elizabeth) with.

Not long after their divorce was announced on Mikahaila's Podcast, she married Jordan Fuller at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay, California in 2022.

Mikhaila explained on her podcast that she would've separated from Korikov earlier had she not been led to believe that divorce was bad. While she differs from her father on the subject, it's clear that Jordan supports Mikhaila's new union with Fuller as he performed the ceremony himself.

While Mikhaila Peterson is a pretty big internet star herself, with a massive following of over a million subscribers on Youtube. But her social media clout pales in comparison to Tate's. Before his Youtube channel was closed down, Andrew had quite a sizable following. Per Social Blade, Andrew had a subscriber count of over 8 million followers.

With that being said, the two met each other before either of them had such huge audiences and were just rising stars.

Related: Who Is Andrew Tate And Why Is He On Everyone's FYP On TikTok?

Mikhaila talked about meeting Andrew on her podcast. She gave clarification and told the true story of what actually happened. According to Mikhaila, Andrew invited her for a night out in 2018. The two were staying in Romania at the time, a place both of them have frequented a lot over the past few years. Of course, a date in Romania means the two visited some castles together.

Mikhaila claimed that the two of them drove in some of Andrew's luxury cars. Andrew has continually showcased his car collection on social media, so it's no shock that he and Mikhaila spent some time in them.

Tate, too, has talked about the event on his social media platforms. His story mimicked Mikhaila's story, with mentions of a date night in Romania that involved castles and sports cars. He even added a cherry to the top of his story, claiming that Mikhaila is a "nice girl" with an "extremely intelligent" father.

It's confirmed that they had a date night together, but did either of them hook up? Was there ever an official relationship at all?

Related: 10 Famous Couples That Will Likely Tie The Knot In 2023

Andrew came out and denied hooking up with Mikhaila. Mikhaila has never confirmed or denied anything major regarding those topics, but it appears the two didn't do anything together.

Aside from that date night, the two have met up on a handful of occasions outside of that. Pictures of them smoking cigars together have been uploaded to Mikhaila's Twitter, but it's unclear if the photos were taken back in 2018.

It's clear how Andrew Tate feels about Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson. As mentioned previously, he's said on a live stream that Jordan and Mikhaila formed a friendly and smart father-daughter duo. Since then, Andrew has risen in popularity and has simultaneously been surrounded by scandal.

Given that these scandals contradict many of the messaging Jordan and Mikhaila put out, fans are curious about what they actually think of the alleged criminal.

It's unclear how Mikhaila personally feels about Andrew. When she's talked about Andrew, she's skirted around her honest opinions on him. When she answered the question of whether or not they had ever dated on her podcast, she stuck to only discussing the story of what actually happened.

The only other time Mikhaila's ever talked about Andrew publicly was during a Twitter Q&A back in 2020, and the answer to someone's question was about their dates in Romania. Nothing more, nothing less.

Jordan hasn't talked much about Tate either, although he has mused about Andrew's views on occasion when audience members ask for them. He normally ignores Andrew and the controversy that surrounds him, instead opting for focusing on Tate's philosophies and ideas.

Neither Jordan Peterson nor his daughter has directly addressed the fact that Andrew Tate was actually arrested in December 2022, nor that he continues to face some truly life-changing charges. Should he be proven guilty, Tate will no doubt go down as one of the most heinous figures in the public eye. Should he be proven innocent, Andrew Tate has publicly declared that he'll sue his accusers.
