entry #9 (if mw_chk_peterson) ¶

You have already sorted yourself out, <FullName>. You carry the right answers. There is no quiz for those who have already faced themselves.

reply #19 ¶

Thank you, sir.

entry #0 → mw_enc_peterson ¶

Stand up straight, with your shoulders back. You came here because something in the music drew you. Good. Now — are you willing to be tested? Or will you flinch back into chaos?

reply #0 → mw_pet_reset ¶

Test me.

entry #1 ¶

First. Why would you pick up the heaviest weight you can bear?

reply #2 → mw_pet_inc ¶

Because nothing makes you stronger than the weight you choose to carry.

entry #2 ¶

Second. What, then, is responsibility?

reply #5 ¶

A burden imposed by tyrants.

entry #3 ¶

Third. How should one regard hierarchy?

reply #8 ¶

All hierarchies are corrupt; tear them down.

entry #4 ¶

Fourth. What is the dragon you must slay?

reply #11 ¶

The one outside my door.

entry #5 ¶

Fifth and last. 'Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world.' What say you?

reply #14 → mw_pet_inc ¶

True — but the order is never finished. I begin anyway.

entry #6 → mw_pet_unl (if mw_pet_pass) ¶

Good. You can bear weight. When you next dream, I will walk beside you. Make your bed. Tell the truth. Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient.

reply #17 ¶

Thank you, sir.

entry #7 ¶

You stumble. Set your house in order. Take on more weight than you think you can carry. Then come back to me.

reply #18 ¶

I will return.

reply #15 ¶

False — the world will not wait for me.

The taxman.

↩ entry #5 “Fifth and last. 'Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world.…”

reply #13 → mw_pet_inc ¶

The one in my own cellar — the chaos I have refused to face.

↩ entry #5 “Fifth and last. 'Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world.…”

reply #9 → mw_pet_inc ¶

Hierarchies of competence are older than humanity. Treat your own with humility, not contempt.

↩ entry #4 “Fourth. What is the dragon you must slay?”

reply #10 ¶

Lobsters have the truer claim. Defer to the claw.

↩ entry #4 “Fourth. What is the dragon you must slay?”

reply #6 → mw_pet_inc ¶

The path to meaning, freely chosen.

↩ entry #3 “Third. How should one regard hierarchy?”

reply #7 ¶

A trick of the weak to enslave the strong.

Because the gods reward suffering.

Because comfort is wickedness.

↩ entry #2 “Second. What, then, is responsibility?”

Not today.

Then sort yourself out first, and come back when you are ready.
