A different prespective to Life

In the film " The Matrix ", there is a scene where a young computer hacker Neo ( Keanu Reeves ) is with the leader of the resistance called Morpheus ( Laurence Fishburne ). The hero, Neo was made to face the reality of his situation, that he has been living in an artificial virtual construct designed by the machines to keep his mind occupied, while his body is used to generate energy and that he is a slave being used by the machines.  And if he wanted to see the "real world" and be "free", he would have to swallow a red pill, the red pill in a manner of speaking will open his eyes or the scales will drop off from his eyes, liberate his mind, take his own destiny in his own hands and he will be in the real world.

This is a book that a lot of people said "save their lives", in a world of conflicting signals, this book is laying down the rules, literally in this case. In essence what Dr Peterson is saying if you want your life to have meaning, follow these rules. He is not apologetic about his approach and he is said to put in words what a lot of people were thinking.

With his extensive knowledge, in mythology, politics, fairy tales, philosophy, religion, science, modern culture - Homer Simpson, movies - Superman, etc he sta...

Netflix has been satisfying people's curiosity by showing Outbreak  (1995) and Contagion  (2011). But it seems a lot of people have been getting their information from movies. The story behind "Outbreak" is that the US government had discovered the Motaba virus in 1967 in Zaire, Africa, which is a form of Viral Haemorrhagic Fever . The US military took blood samples and then incinerated the whole village with the hope of controlling it. Meanwhile, they had weaponized the virus and as the film insinuated, keeping it a secret as they had the perfect biological weapon, to which they only had the cure to it. Then, we were brought to the present day, unfortunately, a monkey from Africa, "escaped" quarantine and it's effects was let loose on a populati...
