Existentialism via Solzhenitsyn and the Gulag – A Personality Guide By Jordan B. Peterson
This lecture by Jordan examines the horrible socio-political implications of an individual’s inauthentic existence, including the degeneration of society into nihilism or totalitarianism, which is frequently of the most homicidal form, using the Soviet Union’s work and death camps as an example. The lecture comes with references from Gulag, famous for writing on the concerned issue.
Key Points
 Hitler launched his invasion of Europe, and the Soviet Union was entirely unprepared to deal with the prospect of having to defend their territories. As a result, they were caught completely off guard when Hitler launched his assault.
- Individuals may fight for economic reasons, which implies they are fighting for things that they value. Still, it is not entirely apparent why people appreciate the fact they love it because various civilizations value different ways. Consequently, economics is a superficial explanation in the final understanding of the situation.

Summary
 Jordan says Buddhists believe that to recoil from God is to admit the truth about their ardent faith and all of his flaws and shortcomings. It’s an odd view because Nietzsche, even though he was passionately anti-Christian in his writings and his public presentation, was, in judgment, more like a beneficial critic of the Western Christian tradition in his writings and his public display. He did so for several reasons, the most important of which was that he saw that the dominance of Europe by the Catholic Church for something like nineteen hundred years was required for the European intellect to become disciplined and concentrated.

Jordan further explains A trained mind has learned to set an interpretative scheme on a given situation and then cohesively interpret that situation through that scheme. Moreover, for Nietzsche, it didn’t matter what the interpretative system was in a certain meaning of the word. It was just that you had to discipline yourself at some point, and this would be something along the lines of a post-adolescent development. A clear, profound, and cohesive point of view was required, and you had to train yourself to maintain that point of view.
