"If you got to the point where you could look at the darkest thing, so that would be the deepest abyss. If you could look at the harshest things like the most brutal parts of the suffering of the world and the malevolence of people and society if you could look at that straight and directly, that would turn you on maximally. That's the idea of rescuing your father. Imagine that you're like the potential composite of all your all the ancestral wisdom, that's locked inside of you biologically, but that's not going to come out at all unless you stress yourself, unless you challenge yourself. The bigger the challenge you take on the more that's going to turn on." - Jordan Peterson
