If you had to choose a moment in history to be born, and you did not know ahead of time who you would be—you didn't know whether you were going to be born into a wealthy family or a poor family, what country you'd be born in, whether you were going to be a man or a woman—if you had to choose blindly what moment you'd want to be born, you'd choose now. —Barack Obama, 2016 CHAPTER 4 PROGRESSOPHOBIA

I'm porous with travel fever But you know I'm so glad to be on my own Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger Can set up trembling in my bones. I know no one's going to show me everything We all come and go unknown Each so deep and superficial Between the forceps and the stone.
~ Joni Mitchell
To say it again: it is the greatest temptation of the rational faculty to glorify its own capacity and its own productions and to claim that in the face of its theories nothing transcendent or outside its domain need exist. This means that all important facts have been discovered. This means that nothing important remains unknown.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
el orden que aspiramos a imponer en el mundo se puede solidificar a raíz de nuestros cándidos empeños por dejar de sopesar todo lo desconocido. Cuando estos empeños llegan demasiado lejos, acecha el totalitarismo, impulsado por el deseo de ejercer un control completo cuando no es posible ni siquiera a nivel teórico.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
Order and chaos are the yang and yin of the famous Taoist symbol: two serpents, head to tail.*1 Order is the white, masculine serpent; Chaos, its black, feminine counterpart. The black dot in the white—and the white in the black—indicate the possibility of transformation: just when things seem secure, the unknown can loom, unexpectedly and large. Conversely, just when everything seems lost, new order can emerge from catastrophe and chaos.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
So, if you are respectful of the rule, and conscious of its importance, and realize that it serves as a bulwark against the chaos of the unknown, and you still decide to break it, carefully, because the particularities of the circumstances demand it – well, then, more power to you. If you are just a careless, ignorant, antisocial narcissist instead, however, then look out. You break a rule at your peril, whether you know it or not.
~ Jordan B. Peterson

Así pues, la anomalía es -alimento- espiritual en el sentido más literal: lo desconocido es la materia prima a partir de la cual se fabrica la personalidad en el curso de la actividad exploratoria. El acto de rechazar la anomalía transforma la personalidad en algo hambriento, en algo senil y en algo cada vez más temeroso del cambio, pues cada fracaso a la hora de enfrentarse a la verdad erosiona la capacidad de enfrentarse a la verdad en el futuro.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
The Land You Know, the Land You Do Not Know, and the Land You Cannot Even Imagine
~ Jordan B. Peterson
El caos, lo desconocido, se asocia simbólicamente con lo femenino. Eso se debe en parte a que todas las cosas que hemos ido conociendo nacieron en un primer momento de lo desconocido, de la misma forma que todos los seres con los que nos hemos encontrado nacieron de madres. El caos es mater, origen, fuente, madre; materia, la sustancia de la que están hechas las cosas.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
In all these triumph stories, the hero has to go into the unknown, into an unexplored territory, and deal with a new great challenge and take great risks. In the process, something of himself has to die, or be given up, so he can be reborn and meet the challenge. This requires courage, something rarely discussed in a psychology class or textbook.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
Lo desconocido es el enemigo eterno del Homo Sapiens y su mayor amigo, que desafía constantemente la facilidad individual para la adaptación y la representación, que empuja constantemente a hombres y mujeres mayores profundidades y hacia cimas más altas.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
Emergency—emergence(y). This is the sudden manifestation from somewhere unknown of some previously unknown phenomenon (from the Greek phainesthai, to "shine forth"). This is the reappearance of the eternal dragon, from its eternal cavern, from its now-disrupted slumber.
~ Jordan B. Peterson
la grandeza del hombre consiste en que puede asimilar lo que le es desconocido. Asimilar, en la profundidad, es dar respuesta.
