How Can You Put Your Opinion Out There Without Yelling at People? Ask Jordan Peterson.
Many people who have gone through higher education either in college or university have a need to influence society and make it a better place.
In fact, just about anybody wants to be heard by people and influence the world. That is why in this email, we are going to hear from a Canadian writer and psychologist on the best way to do that.
What did Jordan Peterson say when asked about how you can share your opinion without yelling at people and actually having them listen and be influenced?
Learn how to write.
Yes, that was his answer.
At this point, Jordan Peterson is to be believed. He goes ahead and says that writing is formalised thinking. What this means is that writing is the same as thinking. It makes you better at thinking. And when you think better you act better hence influencing people. Because all that people really care about is not what you write, but what you do.
But the problem is that many people do not know how to write. Leave alone what to do.
They don't even care about writing and are completely clueless about the power of writing. Man, they are not even able to make the connection between writing and thinking. I am specifically talking about people in positions of influence. Biz owners, CEOs, Founders and other professional executives.
American Radio Host and speaker Earl Nightingale used to say that people simply don't think. And the same goes with writing. Many people simply don't write. What do they do? They let AI do it for them.
We are at a point in human history where people will let artificial intelligence think and write for them. This is so unfortunate because it is true that artificial intelligence tools like Chatgpt are not actually intelligent. They are trained by intelligent humans. And so it is true to say that the human brain can write and think better than AI.
Anyway, whether you are using artificial intelligence or not, writing is the way to share your opinions and be influential without yelling at people.
So go write whatever piece and share it. Someone out there could benefit and learn a lot from your opinion. THE END.
Nick.
