Reviewing the Jordan Peterson pocast with James Lindsay, “When the RIght Goes too Far.”

Send us a textJordan Peterson got some attention recently because of some comments about psychopaths and people exhibiting Cluster B and Dark Tetrad traits infiltrating the Right. There is a rising acceptance, and even glorification, of negative traits like narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism among many supposed Right-Wing influencers. I discuss his recent statement, as well as some of his past statements on social contagion.If you're concerned about good things being twisted, manipulation disguised as strategy, or the slow drift away from Biblical truth, this conversation will help equip you.Support the showSupport the Show! https://www.patreon.com/sparenoarrowsCheck out the video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@sparenoarrowsConnect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spare_no_arrows/Spare no Arrows on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6CqhvtMWRItkoiv8ZrJ6zVSpare no Arrows on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spare-no-arrows/id1528869516

Run Away From DARK TETRAD Types | Jordan Peterson

Dr. Christopher McIntosh returns to InnerVerse to discuss the fascinating and fantastic ideas that are allegorized in his novel, Return of the Tetrad. Some things we explore include the inspirations for this tale and how it relates to his own spiritual journey, magic as a way of seeing the world, black magic and dark occult forces, the Mercurial trickster and devil, ritual replacement of a human psyche with demonic entities, and the cosmic giggle of mystical synchronicity. In the Plus+ Extension, we talk about roles of the sexes in magical lifestyles, the process of occult initiations and the four elements, the Brotherhood of Light, transcendental awareness, the Rosicrucian great game, magical objects, the Prognometer, fate vs. free will, the European mythos of the hairy wild man, and what magical research was like in the pre-internet era. All that and much more!

We have Kechi Anyadike-Danes back for round two to discuss the second installment of his planned three part research series looking into the divide between human performance research and education and the reality of actual coaching practice. This episode is specifically focused on periodization. We chart the history of how periodization theory developed, and then we look at how coaches responded to a variety of questions about core concepts within periodization. Kechi is a doctoral student at the German Sport University Cologne where he has been looking at various aspects of athlete preparation and how coaches perceive various theories, concepts and strongly held beliefs that exist in the training literature. His doctoral research is being supervised and helped by friend of the pod John Kiely from the University of Limerick and Lars Donath from the German Sport University Cologne. Kechi doesn't just focus on the theoretical, he is also passionate about training and coaching (especially weightlifting). You can find the full text of Kechi's paper here. We also discussed Yuri Verkhoshansky's paper "The End of 'Periodization' in the Training of High Performance Sport" an abbreviated translation of which can be found here. The paper by Matt Clark that we mentioned is available on Modern War Institute here. Some recommended further reading: Foundations of Training Periodization Part I: Historical Outline by Jimmy Pedemonte Foundation of Training Periodization Part II: The Objective of Periodization by Jimmy Pedemonte From Russia with Love? Sixty years of proliferation of L.P. Matveyev's concept of Periodisation? by Arnd Kruger Kechi asked us to include on correction to the section when was discussing a system used in ancient Rome/Greece. The system was called the Tetrad. It is not known whether this was the only approach but it is one that has been popularly discussed due to it appearing in a book called 'On Gymnastics' by Philostratus. Below is the description: By the tetrad system we mean a cycle of four days, each one of which is devoted to a different activity. The first day prepares the athlete; the second is an all-out trial; the third is relaxation; and the fourth a medium-hard workout. The exercise of the first day, the one that prepares him, is made up of short, intense movements which stir up the athlete and prepare him for the hard workout to follow on the next day. The strenuous day (the second) is an all-out test of his potential. The third, the day of relaxation, so to speak, employs his energy in a moderate way, while on the day of the medium workout (the last day), the athlete practices breaking holds himself and preventing his opponent from breaking away.

There are many people that are involved in developing technologies that think that all technology is good and will always lead to a better future.But is that true?  My guest today is John Robb, author of Brave New War and owner and principal analyst for the monthly The Global Guerrillas Report and host of Global Guerrillas. On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, John joins me to share how disruptive events are impacting change across the globe and how the rise of network swarming through social channels is escalating change and not always in a good way. We talk about how social media escalated the Russian invasion of Ukraine on a global level and brought it up to the edge of a nuclear engagement. Listen in to understand why “the global village isn't the problem, it's the global villagers,” and how the settings of the technological artifact will be the thing that determines our future—if we get it right, the future is going to be amazing, if we don't it will control us. Key Takeaways John shares what network swarming is and how his book, Brave New War is still making waves How network swarming escalated the Russian invasion of Ukraine making it into a war of survival John offers his insight into the pilfering of individual identities and the human characteristics of the network that are not at all human How the printing press was the catalyst for war as we know it today How collective decision-making limits individual idea-expression (and oversteps everything from human rights to politics to the Constitution) What John calls the permit crisis and how feeding the power of the network is hollowing out our values, and stripping our rights  John's advice to individuals on living within the network, securing your digital rights, and challenging the Terms of Service trumps the Constitution status quo Connect with John Robb John Robb on Twitter  Global Guerrillas Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

What is the Dark Triad Dark Tetrad?

He was the great sagewho said no need for zazen —if you grasp the truth* * *At the beginning of the last section on analysis and systems modeling, I suggested it may be worthwhile to delve a bit more deeply into applying the tetrad to the scope of activities in daily life as well as directly to Zen practice, particularly zazen. And that we would continue along these lines with yet another variation on the tetrad theme, looking at things from a four-pointed perspective. It turns out that there are many tropes and memes in Buddhism that consist of four parts, starting with the Four Noble Truths. Another is attributed to the 28th Patriarch in India, first in China, the formidable Bodhidharma. He is said to have suggested four areas of observation that are characteristic of meditation, at that time of course not referred to as Zen, or Ch'an, as it later was. The four main areas he defined are observing the breath, the physical sensations, the emotional mood swings, and the mental conceptions that we come up with in and about meditation.The semantic model illustration includes my first draft attempt to fill out the four subsets within each of these four main objects of observation. You may want to substitute other aspects as you see fit. Under breath, I have listed very simple dimensions, such as inhaling and exhaling, counting and following the breath, which are characteristic of our typical instructions for breathing while in zazen.The most important may be the last listed, that is that we follow the breath, rather than try to control it. This principle really applies to all the other dimensions of zazen meditation as well, such as that we actually follow the body in zazen. It knows, and will eventually teach us the natural posture, so we cannot really get it wrong unless we refuse to listen to what our body is telling us.Under the physical component of the model, we find the five conventional physical senses, including that of the body itself, usually lumped under the tactility of the skin as the largest organ of the body. But “body” includes all the internal sensations of weight, the sense of balance and location in space, or proprioception, plus the many ancillary sensations such as itching and various aches and pains. The other organs of the physical body come into play in meditation, such as the eyes, for which we recommend practicing a fixed gaze, rather than closing them as is recommended in the popular forms of so-called “mindfulness” meditation. To which I query, how mindful can it be if it excludes vision, our primary source of incoming information? But I digress.The ears are considered perhaps more accessible to the settling of the mind through deep listening, than the more acute stimuli received through seeing, and the resistance we encounter in the realm of feeling, the accommodation of the body to sitting still in upright meditation. The nose and tongue play a relatively minor role, in that they adapt very quickly to the lack of stimulation of fragrance and flavor. However, once we have become comfortable with the physical dimensions of meditation, the emotional and mental begin to kick in.Under what the great sage classified as emotional sensations, or mood swings, I have listed four pairs of mood or affect that I have come across in my experience as well as in studying dharma and modern analysis of psychological phenomena. Elation or “bliss” is sometimes touted as the goal of meditation, as in “pursuing your bliss,” another pop trope of the New Age perspective on spiritual practice. In Zen, we recognize such highs as the natural vacillation between extremes with the lows, such as depression or milder forms such as ennui or melancholy. We are all bipolar, which becomes manic-depressive at its extreme manifestations.Serenity versus anxiety is another way of saying the same thing, perhaps more influenced by the social sphere of our daily lives, which provide plenty of rationales for experiencing anxiety, and not many opportunities to settle into serenity. Thus the existence of Zen centers, temples and monasteries. As Master Dogen reminds us in Jijuyu Zammai [Self-Fulfilling Samadhi] (emphasis mine):Grass trees and lands which are embraced by this teaching together radiate a great light and endlessly expound the inconceivable profound dharmaGrass trees and wallsbring forth the teaching for all beings common people as well as sages and they in accord extend this dharma for the sake of grass trees and wallsEmphasizing the “walls” in this passage points to the “realm of self-awakening and awakening others” mentioned earlier in the same teaching, the efforts that the ancestors made to provide environments conducive to training. Achok Rinpoche mentioned this as a form of dana, or Buddhist generosity, in his guest talk at our Zen center some years ago. The walls of the zendo represent this extension of dharma for the sake of grass and trees, complementing the manifestation of dharma in the form of Nature.Faith and doubt as a binary encapsulate another vacillation in the emotional sphere, which provide another contrast with pop spirituality as well as traditional forms of theism. A conventional interpretation of faith is that it brooks no doubt, and even regards the appearance of doubt as a crisis of faith. In Zen, you are advised to “keep your doubt at a keen edge,” an old saying its attribution lost to memory. The more doubt we feel, the more faith we are called upon to exercise, just as we manifest courage in the presence of a high threshold of fear, not the absence of fear. If we can take the appropriate action, in the face of great fear or doubt, we can be said to be courageous, or faithful, respectively. If our faith is dependent upon the absence of any challenge that would create doubt, it is a faux faith, and will not stand the test of time and circumstance. Even Buddha admonished us to not take his teaching on faith, but to test it out in the crucible of our own experience.The last dyad, excitement and exhaustion, I have heard is a Tibetan description of the last vacillation that we can expect to encounter in meditation. Excitement at the prospect of some transformation being possible, some insight into the reality of nonduality, spiritual awakening, et cetera, however you might wish to characterize your aspiration to Bodhi mind. But at the same time exhaustion, extreme weariness at the continuing frustration of trying so hard and seemingly getting nowhere, plateauing again and again in your quest for understanding. Proceeding in the face of little or no indication of progress is the prescription for zazen. Like the last 10 yards of the hundred yard dash, it doesn't get any easier as we approach what we hope is the finish line. And it doesn't help to be reminded there is no finish line. The worse it gets, the better it is, expresses the ironic perversity of the dilemma. Just don't give up was my teacher's advice to me. And mine to you.Lastly but not leastly in Bodhidharma's model of meditation observation is the mental machinations we undergo courtesy of the monkey mind, but also as a natural process of the empirical method of observing primarily the evidence of the senses, but also reflection: going over and over it in our minds. This second part of empirical process is where we can go down the rabbit hole of rumination, obsessive-compulsive habit patterns of thought. But it is also the source of the highest achievements of the arts and sciences, when analytical reasoning is balanced by intuitive insight. This is testified to by the third Patriarch in China, the estimable Master Sengcan, in his poem Hsinhsinming — Trust in Mind:If you wish to move in the One Way do not dislike even the world of senses and ideas Indeed to accept them fully is identical with true EnlightenmentSo we do not reject the sense-data coming in nor do we trust it to be 100% accurate. Nor do we turn away from the power of the mind to perceive, analyze and conceive higher and higher approximations to the reality of existence, as exemplified by the revolutions in the science of physics, and indeed the teachings of Buddhism. But, like chasing the rainbow, the closer we come to capturing it, the more it exceeds our grasp. However, we should not be discouraged and give up the quest.In the dyads subsumed under the conceptual power of the mind I include the classic formulation of form versus emptiness, the translation of rupa and shunyatta into English. As in most cases, something is lost in translation, but fortunately we are not totally dependent upon words or language, but rely on our own experience in meditation to embrace the reality that these terms are pointing to. Form is the actual appearance of reality that we are all familiar with in our own awareness; emptiness is the underlying dynamic of ever-changing morphology. The essential nature of the material world is its immateriality.Nihilism and eternalism are likewise traditional dualities debated in the history of, and probably predate, Buddhism. Either standpoint, that nothing exists but delusion or illusion, or that anything is eternally existent, as a worldview, is considered an extreme position that ignores “the rest of the story” so to say. Buddhism lands somewhere in the middle, holding that those things that seem permanent are actually changing, if at different frequencies, and that the absolute nonexistence of anything is a state of denial.This is succinctly addressed earlier in the same Ch'an poem:To deny the reality of things is to miss their realityTo assert the emptiness of things is to miss their realityFurther, to assert the absolute existence of things is to miss their reality. Things exist, but by virtue of emptiness. They arise, abide, change and decay. The abiding part is the mystery, the delusion. But that all things are impermanent can be argued as the proof of permanence. The aggregate condition of ever-changing causes is a permanent condition of change. From the same poem, toward the end:Emptiness here Emptiness there but the infinite universe stands always before your eyesInfinitely large and infinitely small no difference for definitions have vanished and no boundaries are seenSo too with Being and non-Being“Being and non-being” is another phrasing of absolutes as extreme assertions about reality. But if “definitions have vanished and no boundaries are seen,” the apparent separation of being and non-being comes under scrutiny. The antipode to this idea is that everything that exists now always has and always will, just not in the same configuration.As the poem moves toward conclusion, Master Sengcan assures us:To live in this faith is the road to nonduality because the nondual is one with the trusting mindSo from everyday dualities such as proposed separation of body and mind, self and other, the analysis proceeds to consider the meta-binary of nonduality as opposed to duality itself, as such. As Matsuoka Roshi would often say, “There is no dichotomy in Zen.” Then where is the dichotomy? Are duality and non-duality simply concepts, generated by a fevered mind? Or are they general principles, extracted from particular case experiences, the very essence of intelligence applying the empirical method?In the next segment we will entertain our last experiment with the tetrad analysis model, taking a closer look at what it reveals about the relationships between the four spheres of influence introduced in an earlier section as nesting spheres, as illustrated here. We will explore some of the relationships between the personal, social, natural, and universal spheres which, as a concentric model, paint a picture of proximate and distant surrounding causes and conditions of our existence, and the comprehensive context for our Zen practice.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.

It's not that simple.But it helps to simplify —at least in your mind.* * *Before leaving the discussion of systems and analysis modeling, and its application to daily life and Zen practice, it may be worthwhile to delve a bit more deeply into applying the tetrad to both. This exercise, which may feel a bit awkward in the beginning, may help you answer the question as to not what may be wrong with your approach — as we maintain, you cannot really do Zen wrong — but what may not be working as well as it could be, and where that lies within the components and connections of your personal practice. Take a look at the semantic model presented here. We have suggested that the four components of zazen as a method may be defined as posture, breath, attention, and thee. Using the analytical propensity of the intellect may help you clarify the connection between posture and breath as well as breath and attention, et cetera, fostering a more comprehensive grasp of zazen.This entails eliminating the conceptual divide that we usually wedge between creativity and the discriminating mind. But thinking is not the enemy of creativity. Analysis can provide the prompts needed to consider alternative approaches and ways of thinking about zazen or anything else for that matter. The main attitude adjustment is that we drop the typical interpretation that there is a right way to meditate, or to raise children, or to wash the dishes, or make art or music, and that we must learn that way or we will never succeed. Again, reasonable parameters for practice in any field are reasonable, not right as opposed to wrong.Stressing the senses is a common aspect of many of the Buddhist teachings, beginning with the “Heart of Great Wisdom” sutra, in which the Six Senses of ancient Buddhist physiology are listed right up front, following the Five Aggregates, in the context of the principle of emptiness (S. shunyatta):Given emptiness [there is] no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind;no seeing, no hearing, no smelling, no tasting, no touching, no thinking.Note that the listing of the organs is followed by their experiential functions, indicating that both their physical and experiential manifestation are equally empty of substantial reality. That is, all such differentiated percepts, as well as their receptive mechanisms, are devoid of self-existence, as well as being impermanent and imperfect. But I digress.This traditional sequence arranges the senses from higher to lower levels of the electromagnetic spectrum, but note that mind, the ostensibly highest faculty, comes last, as a kind of catch-all. As I speculate in The Original Frontier, this is probably owing to the fact that the degree of resistance to settling into stillness is at its highest in the monkey mind, followed closely by the body, whereas the other senses tend to be more accommodating to sensory adaptation, given the moderated level of stimulation in meditation.Another pertinent reference to the senses is found in Sekito Kisen's Ch'an poem “Harmony of Sameness and Difference” (J. Sandokai):All the objects of the senses interact and yet do notInteracting they are linked togetherNot interacting each keeps its placeSights vary in quality and formSounds differ as pleasing or harshAnd later a briefer reference to the connection between the sense organs and their objects:Eye and sights, ear and sounds, nose and smells, tongue and tastesZen teaching often simply belabors the obvious. But we take for granted and overlook the wisdom that is inherent in the most seemingly mundane aspects of our experience, such as the six senses. When in actual fact, they are as miraculous as it gets. But again I digress. Getting back to the model, we can look more deeply into the connections between the four major sense realms under observation.Consider the most common of these in the vernacular of philosophy and science, the so-called body-mind duality. In zazen, however, the connection of mind to body, #1–4 in our model, is not at all dualistic in nature. Body and mind are naturally complementary. Mind arises from body, the conventional precedent, which some adherents of spiritualist philosophy might dispute, claiming that the mind exists separately from the body as the ostensible true self, or soul, of theism. But in Zen, body also arises from mind. This assessment is validated by the holistic view of health, in which mental disorders can have a devastating impact on the body, and vice-versa. In this context, zazen appears therapeutic.In zazen, we undergo a kind of sensory adaptation process, which becomes all-encompassing in the long run. But the different senses adapt at different rates, which is why I lump smell and taste, the functions of the nose and tongue, in with the tactile sensations of the body, in this model. Both smell and taste are engaged chemically with ingestion and digestion of food and drink, and the inspiration of breath and its accompanying odors and fragrances. This leaves a simpler model of four main senses as confronted in intensive meditation: feeling, hearing, seeing, and thinking. Remember that thinking, the function of the brain, is considered a sense-realm in Zen, largely automatic, like the others.Thus the mind's function of thinking is given the #1 position in this example, seeing as #2, hearing as #3, and feeling as #4. This sequence proceeds from the most complex but least tangible and most diaphanous realm of thought, through the next most complex, sight; then hearing, then the most tangible and gross level of sensation represented as touch, including the body, mouth and nose. This leads to examining the connections between the four creatively, suggesting implications in zazen:1-2 Thinking that seeing is believing but also incomplete and ever-changing.2-1 Examining vision and visualizing data through pattern recognition and grasping meaning.1-3 Registering sound as “pleasing or harsh,” but also as threatening or comforting.3-1 Surrounding sound fostering or interfering with concentration and assimilation.1-4 Discriminating tactile feelings as pleasurable, painful, neutral or numb, or life-threatening.4-1 Posture affecting alertness and acuity in discerning movement, proprioception, et cetera.2-3 Seeing the image of sound — closing your eyes at the symphony.3-2 Hearing the sounds of sight — watching 4th of July fireworks.2-4 Seeing through touch — finding your keys in the dark.4-2 Feeling with the eyes — sun blindness.3-4 Hearing the sounds of the body — listening to your heartbeat.4-3 Feeling the touch of sound — attending a rock concert.I will leave you with another image to consider, using sight to channel data directly into the mind without passing Go, and not collecting $200. I call this the zazen scaffold, as it visualizes the biological matrix upon which our meditation depends. While zazen reduces action to its most immediate and simplest method — just sit still enough long enough — it does not ignore the context of, for example, karmic consequences over the Three Times; nor does it discount the complexity of what is actually happening all unknown to our consciousness. In the next section we will continue along these lines with yet another variation on the tetrad theme. Meanwhile please put your whole self into zazen. You will gain the power to put your whole self into everything that you do.* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order.
