Akira The Don, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson - Those Who Have Everything lyrics

Finding out what you’re doing wrong
Is not a pleasant experience
And it means that you have
To sacrifice part of yourself
Usually a burned out, stupid, bitter, corrupt
Arrogant, nasty, vengeful part of yourself
But nonetheless part that you like
I think that room for
Those incremental improvements
Exists within everyone’s grasp
And I think that it’s a humble thing to
Do to ask how you could improve incrementally
Without interfering with anyone else
Like it’s your problem not their’s
But I think that the
Consequences of maintained
Incremental improvement are anything
But incremental you get compound interest
On incremental improvement
You know, there’s another rule in the
New Testament called the Matthew Principle


Economists use it the rule is:

To those who have everything more
Will be given and
From those who have nothing
Everything will be taken
To those who have everything more
Will be given and
From those who have nothing
Everything will be taken
It’s actually a description of the
Way the world works
You know that if you’ve ever played Monopoly
To those who have everything
More will be given
And from those who have nothing
Everything will be taken

And there’s a reason for that
That’s a deep reason
And it’s a very harsh rule because it means
As you start to wonder off the path
The probability that you will wonder further
Off the path increases non-linearly
And that’s a terrible thing to know
As you walk closer to
The edge the probability
That you’ll fall off the cliff increases
And that’s statistical justification for
The concept of Hell
But as you improve the probability that each
Improvement will produce a
Further improvement increases
And so perhaps the downside
Is the cataclysmic
Catastrophe that you can engage upon
If you reproduce your moral failings but
The upside is that each
Improvement produces and increment in the
Probability of the next improvement

To those who have everything more
Will be given and
From those who have nothing
Everything will be taken
To those who have everything more
Will be given and
From those who have nothing
Everything will be taken
It’s actually a description of the
Way the world works
You know that if you’ve ever played Monopoly
To those who have everything
More will be given
And from those who have nothing
Everything will be taken

If you’re a behavioural psychologist
And I am a behavioural psychologist
What you do is you help
A person establish their aim
Then you break down what they’re trying
To do into attainable unit's
The general consequence of that is that
Every time they manage an accomplishment
They get a little stronger in character
They get a little bit more
Confident in their ability
They get a little bit less
Racked with self disgust
They get a little bit more
Hopeful about the future
And they get more confident that
They can make another change
And if you’re patient
And you have to be patient
With yourself that way
It’s like you reward those
Incremental improvements and
You don’t get all cynical about them
And you think "okay
Just imagine what would happen if you keep
Doing that every week for 10 years"
And the answer to that is
Things would be so much
Better for you that you can’t even imagine it
With that much improvement
Or maybe even with half that much improvement

To those who have everything more
Will be given and
From those who have nothing
Everything will be taken
To those who have everything more
Will be given and
From those who have nothing
Everything will be taken
It’s actually a description of the
Way the world works
You know that if you’ve ever played Monopoly
To those who have everything
More will be given
And from those who have nothing
Everything will be taken and so that’s a
That’s a very good way of progressing
