It jives with my own understanding, that everything is derivative of something else and every single solitary thing in the human world had been thought before by someone else: from the shape of the concrete pads on the side walk, the every single weld of a steel tower, to the stories we share in media, and all of that is an expression of the inner psyche, which is itself derivitive of the human past, which is the story of the human animal. The guy is a genius, waaaay past hitchens and his co.
--> this is the reason I love nature so much...nothing in it has been touched by man, at all, its an intelligence outside of intelligence, and yet it takes human intelligence to map it, and its so intricate, that ancient stories attempted and those evolved and kept evolving to something more closely resembling a coherent reality to explain the unexplainables..oh god now im hearing him in my head, i must be one of the converted!
Plus he opened up Jung and the collective for me which I wasnt so much aware of. I think his Fathering is exactly what the world needs right now because the substance-less void in current culture masquerading as style in todays age is borderline a collective psychosis imo. Not that Petterson has said that, just he's pointing to it.
I don't care he isn't detail orientated, I like the way his legends unfold and how he comes back to the through line narrative. Its all about the macro by way of the micro. Pluss Pluss. Not just a right wing nutter.
LII, IEE, ILI, EIE. That's what people say and I can conceivable see them all based on what others have said.
