Jordan Peterson,

 



Z世代、上帝、喬登彼得森、性與不成長有什麼共通點?我很想聽聽你的回答。當然,我的是《經濟學人》的文化版塊。所有這些主題都出現在我們今年閱讀量最大的一些故事中。


我們試圖以更廣泛的視角來看待可能吸引讀者的文化趨勢和主題。今年是了不起的一年:例如,我們研究年輕人是否以及為何拒絕長大的文章是《經濟學人》2024 年閱讀量排名第三的文章。有益的時間來靜修並補上一些期待已久的閱讀。這是您可能錯過的文化亮點的便捷指南。

1999 年,勞特利奇出版了《意義地圖:信仰的架構》,其中彼得森描述了一種關於人們如何建構意義、形成信念和進行敘事的理論。根據彼得森的說法,他的主要目標是研究為什麼個人和群體都參與社會衝突,探索個人支持他們的信仰體系(即意識形態認同)[8] 的推理和動機,這最終可能導致謀殺和病態的暴行,如古拉格、奧斯威辛集中營和盧安達種族滅絕。


2018 年1 月,企鵝蘭登書屋出版了彼得森的第二本書《生活的12 條規則:混沌的解藥》,其中以比他之前出版的作品更容易理解的方式討論了自助原則。 14][19][37 ]該書出現在多個暢銷書排行榜上。


彼得森的第三本書《超越秩序:生活的 12 條更多規則》於 2021 年 3 月 2 日發行。 2020 年 11 月 23 日,他的出版商加拿大企鵝蘭登書屋 (PRH Canada) 舉行了一次內部市政廳,許多員工批評了出版該書的決定。


彼得森的第四本書《與上帝摔角的人:對神聖的看法》於 2024 年 11 月 19 日再次由企鵝蘭登書屋出版。

What do Generation Z, God, Jordan Peterson, sex and not growing up have in common? I’d be curious to hear your answer. Mine is, of course, the Culture section of The Economist. All these subjects have featured in some of our most-read stories of the year.

We try to take a broad view of cultural trends and subjects that are likely to fascinate readers. And it has been a terrific year: our piece examining whether, and why, young adults are refusing to grow up, for example, was the third-most-read piece published by The Economist in 2024. If your holiday season is anything like mine, this can be a rewarding time to retreat and catch up on some long-anticipated reading. Here’s a handy guide to the Culture highlights you may have missed.

Books

In 1999, Routledge published Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief, in which Peterson describes a theory about how people construct meaning, form beliefs, and make narratives.[8][34][35] According to Peterson, his main goal was to examine why individuals and groups alike participate in social conflict, exploring the reasoning and motivation individuals take to support their belief systems (i.e. ideological identification)[8] that can eventually result in murderous and pathological atrocities, such as the Gulag, the Auschwitz concentration camp, and the Rwandan genocide.[8][36]

In January 2018, Penguin Random House published Peterson's second book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, in which self-help principles are discussed in a more accessible style than in his previous published work.[14][19][37] The book appeared on several best-seller lists.[38][39][40]

Peterson's third book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, was released on 2 March 2021.[41] On 23 November 2020, his publisher Penguin Random House Canada (PRH Canada) held an internal town hall where many employees criticized the decision to publish the book.[42]

Peterson's fourth book, We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine, was published on 19 November 2024, again by Penguin Random House.[43]

起底UnitedHealth如何僱傭一支醫生大軍,從聯邦醫保計劃獲得巨額額外支付

這家聯邦醫療保險優勢計劃最大保險商在醫生接診前就為其準備了一份潛在診斷清單。診斷越多,病情評分就越高,政府支付的款項也就越多。


C.E.O. Shooting

After his surgery, Mr. Mangione toured the islands of Hawaii, visited family back in Maryland and then, early this year, set off on the trip to Asia, which included stops in Thailand and Japan.

He wrote that he found Japan’s densely urban environment to be “an evolutionary mismatch for the human animal.” But he loved the mountains, saying that one of his goals in Asia was to “do some Buddha.”

He described his travels in Nara with enthusiasm. “There’s like these tiny little villages here, on the side of the cliffs — I’ll send a photo. It’s super lush, there’s this beautiful river that cuts through the gorge,” he said in the voice message he left in April. “I think I want to stay here for like a month, and just meditate and just hot spring, and do some writing.”

手術後,曼吉歐內先生遊覽了夏威夷群島,探望了馬裡蘭州的家人,然後在今年年初出發前往亞洲,其中包括泰國和日本。 他寫道,他發現日本密集的城市環境「與人類動物的進化不匹配」。但他熱愛山脈,說他在亞洲的目標之一是「做一些佛事」。 他熱情地描述了自己在奈良的旅行。 「這裡有一些小村莊,在懸崖邊——我會發一張照片。這裡非常茂盛,有一條美麗的河流穿過峽谷,」他在四月留下的語音留言中說道。 “我想我想在這裡呆一個月左右,只是冥想、泡溫泉,然後寫點東西。”

紐約醫療保險公司 CEO 殺手對日本文化社會疏離的批判

During his trip to Asia, he lashed out at the “modern Japanese urban environment,” claiming that sex toys, automated restaurants and a more general lack of “natural human interaction” were responsible for falling birthrates and a dearth of human connection.
More and more, he expressed frustration that society at large seemed incapable of addressing these longstanding problems, and he expressed interest in those who said that violence might be a necessary next step.
在亞洲之行期間,他猛烈抨擊了“現代日本城市環境”,聲稱性玩具、自動化餐廳和普遍缺乏“自然人際互動”是導致出生率下降和人際關係缺乏的原因。
他越來越感到沮喪,因為整個社會似乎無力解決這些長期存在的問題,他對那些說暴力可能是社會問題的人表示感興趣。

Police Identify ‘Strong Person of Interest’ in C.E.O.’s Killing

  • The man was arrested in Altoona, Pa., on gun charges after he was spotted in a McDonald’s.
  • He was carrying a handwritten manifesto criticizing health insurance companies, law enforcement officials said.

DIONNE SEARCEY, MADISON MALONE KIRCHER

汤普森被杀是否与其工作有关尚不明了,但警方在现场弹壳上发现“拖延”和“拒绝”字样。社交媒体用户对他的死明显缺乏同情心,凸显出人们对美国医保现状的愤怒和沮丧。

A backpack maker believes he has identified the gunman’s bag. Apparently, so have many others.

Brian Thompson Was a Veteran Executive at UnitedHealthcare

Mr. Thompson managed a division that employs about 140,000 people and offers insurance plans to employers and individuals.



Mr. Thompson’s killing on Wednesday outside a midtown Manhattan hotel as he was walking toward the UnitedHealth Group’s annual investor day sent shock waves through the nation’s vast health care sector. The fatal shooting elicited an outpouring of sympathy from rival insurers, executives, health care providers and others.

During Mr. Thompson’s tenure as chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, the company’s profits rose, with earnings from operations topping $16 billion in 2023 from $12 billion in 2021. Mr. Thompson received a total compensation package last year of $10.2 million, a combination of $1 million in base pay and cash and stock grants.

週三,湯普森在曼哈頓市中心的一家酒店外被殺,當時他正在走向聯合健康集團的年度投資者日,這給美國龐大的醫療保健行業帶來了衝擊。這起致命槍擊事件引起了競爭對手保險公司、高階主管、醫療保健提供者和其他人士的同情。

湯普森先生擔任聯合醫療保健執行長期間,該公司的利潤有所增長,營運利潤從2021 年的120 億美元增至2023 年的160 億美元。 100 萬美元。
