Jordan Peterson on Lobsters

Importance of straightening up posture. (short video)

Short Story:

  • Lobster looses fight: hunches over.
  • Wins the fight: widens himself.

Lobster runs on: Serotonin aka 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT).

  • Wins: serotonin levels go up.
  • Looses: serotonin levels go down.

If you give low serotonin lobster, equivalent of anti-depressants, he will go fight again.

Human hierarchy is based on competence, rather than dominance per say.

Hierarchy is not a social construction, lobsters have hierarchies.

Predator types always look for those who can be intimidated.
