Having a balance between planetude and focus is crucial for efficiency. Too much focus like being on LSD will hinder overall productivity due to the lack of ability to focus on specific tasks. Conversely, excessive narrowing of focus leads to the issue of reduced awareness, as seen in agriculture. This balance is seen not only in external endeavors but also in relationships where creating rigid models of others and punishing deviations can lead to monotony and boredom over time.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with author and speaker Tor Nørretranders. They discuss the entropy of emotion, the nature of pointlessness, the over-civilization of societal structures, how relationships shape perception, and why play might be the antithesis to tyranny.
Tor Nørretranders is an independent author, thinker and speaker based in Denmark, serving an international audience. He has published over 30 books on topics ranging from society to human consciousness.
