Pat, Austin, and Logan return to their Book Club discussion as we converse about chapter 11: Do Not Bother Children When They Are Skateboarding from 12 Rules For Life: An Antidote For Chaos by Jordan B. Peterson. The topics we cover include (but are not limited to) skate parks and playgrounds, safety and danger, aggression, Nietzsche's thoughts on resentment, Jung on the “shadow self,” the “flesh,” environmental issues and population, cultural revolutions, affirmative action, the Oedipal Mother, Hansel and Gretel, motherhood, Buddha, Yin and Yang, freedom, responsibility, and home.
Pat poses a great question about how to seek out danger in adulthood, Logan ponders the possibility of creating equal opportunity, and Austin (in Jung’s words) relays the idea that every good mother is bad.
