And I don't think it's so much becoming someone who is disciplined so much as it is slowly becoming more disciplined in a few tasks of your choosing. I think it will always be more difficult / take longer to cultivate discipline for low conscientiousness folks, but it's still possible. It seems to come down to whether you can truly connect efforts and outcomes that are separated by time. Once you finally make that connection, you can better teach it to others. That can help low C folks overcome their struggles, but can also free up attentional resources for high C folks.
One of the things on my mental backburners is OCEAN ecosystems. Peterson pointed to the +O-C / -O+C political tension, but what are other (more constructive) interplays?

Great thoughts, Noah! In regard to art creation, f you haven’t read it yet, I suggest reading “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield?
I’ll have to check it out, thank you!
