You can’t win an argument with your husband or wife.
Peterson’s point is simple. If you win, you’ve defeated your spouse, and you two are one, so you’ve defeated yourself. Now you live with someone who’s defeated and bitter.
So what do you do if you’re the better arguer? Help your partner make their case. They might be right, and it’s in your interest to hear it.
He connects this to loving your enemy and giving the devil his due. Being good at talking doesn’t make you correct, and stomping around insisting you’re right fixes nothing.
One of the wisest things anyone has said about marriage.

This young woman was asked, “How do you think we can stop our kids from becoming socialists?” and in less than 15 seconds, gives the perfect answer as to what exactly the Democrat Party is trying to usher in and force onto our nation:

There's a government website where you can search your doctor's financial relationships with pharmaceutical companies. It's called Open Payments.

Still thinking about how Michelangelo said excellent people like to solitude-max because they don't want to "corrupt themselves with the vain conversation of idle persons and degrade their thoughts"

I think about this guys question sometimes and about how Charlie answered him and about how they killed the guy that gave this kind of answer to that question.

Quick question to all those who posited that @realDonaldTrump was a dictator who would end democracy, including nearly all of my academic colleagues. Does the drubbing that the Republicans experienced last night via the democratic process suggest that you were right that he is a dictator or were you wrong to make this claim? Did he kill democracy or did he allow it to express itself?

I’ve been with Brandon through every step of this and I know that he really, really cared about his district.
It wasn’t a money thing. It wasn’t a power or status thing. We all live in San Antonio and pay taxes here. The dude seriously wanted to help his community. He had the know how and fortitude to help the community.
West Texas really lost a real one.

BREAKING: Europe is under a massive cyber attack, with supermarket fridges and freezers in Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg, Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland and Estonia all hacked today by raising temperatures to up to 50°C, destroying huge quantities of food, per Reuters.
"Everything is destroyed," a sales manager in Sweden said, adding that "there has been a cyberattack and all our freezers reached 50 degrees."
More than 40 supermarkets in Belgium and Luxembourg were affected. "I only have two words for them: wake up, please, because there's something going on," a store manager in Belgium said.
This follows a similar cyberattack last month that hit hundreds of supermarkets in France, raising freezers as high as 80°C and causing major food losses.
It also comes after freezers at 6 US military bases mysteriously malfunctioned, spoiling large quantities of food, which the Pentagon is investigating as a suspected cyberattack.
Is it wild that Tik Tok is called Tik Tok?
I don't know anything about how the app got its name but whether it was planned or not..
it's like the universe is playing ironic joke that the name literally is the sound that represents seconds passing by while people waste their time and their lives on that app.

Well said.
Maybe the real question isn't what governments know that we don't.
It's why we've spent decades building a civilization where most people can't function for 72 hours without electricity, running water, or a grocery store.
We've become extraordinarily good at making life convenient—and remarkably bad at imagining life without those conveniences.
You don't need a conspiracy theory to justify having a week's worth of food, water, and essential supplies.
You just need to recognize that modern civilization, for all its brilliance, has a rather unfortunate dependence on everything working.
Preparedness isn't paranoia. It's optimism with a backup plan.
And if the apocalypse does arrive, at least have the decency to bring a manual can opener.
