CONVERSATIONS with TOM | Jordan Peterson on Constructing Your Identity, Chaos and Order, and the Escalating Culture Wars |

 


For all the artists out there, here is how Brazilian laureate poet, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, illustrates, in your language, the consequence of not grasping this. It is my belief that, it is what Dr. Peterson has realized: young people are staring at a stone unable to move forward, or, in Tom Bilyeu words, lacking the skills necessary to move forward.


IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THERE WAS A STONE
by Carlos Drummond  de Andrade

In the middle of the road there was a stone
There was a stone in the middle of the road
There was a stone
In the middle of the road there was a stone

Never shall I forget this event
In the life of my fatigued retinas
Never shall I forget that in the middle of the road
There was a stone
There was a stone in the middle of the road
In the middle of the road there was a stone


NO MEIO DO CAMINHO TINHA UMA PEDRA
by Carlos Drummond  de Andrade

No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra
Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho
Tinha uma pedra
No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra

Nunca me esquecerei desse acontecimento
Na vida de minhas retinas tão fatigadas
Nunca me esquecerei que no meio do caminho
Tinha uma pedra
Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho
No meio do caminho tinha uma pedra
