Despite receiving 11 million bits per second, our brains compress this information to just 16 bits, filtering out what is deemed irrelevant. Our conscious experience focuses on pathways, tools, obstacles, friends, and foes. Pathways and tools are essential material entities, while friends support and accompany us, and foes act as human obstacles that may hinder our progress.
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.
