I'm Canadian, and FORTUNATELY I voted for Justin Trudeau(which was a huge mistake, but fortunate nonetheless). Trudeau and his overly SJW ways, pandering to 18-35 yr olds--forgetting about the majority of taxpayers....without him, we don't all experience the brilliance of Jordan Peterson. I don't agree with him on everything (case in point Sam harris' debate). He makes me want to pick up a book--which is what Jocko does as well. They make you want to read and become smarter.
Really enjoyed this clip. I just stepped down from a supervisor position and back into a “worker bee” position after thinking things through. It is a very liberating experience and it does require a great deal of humility. I am in the midst of criticism but something about going against the grain gives me some meaning and I feel much happier with my decision. I needed change and instead of suffering or “sacrificing”, I am taking action towards the life I want to build for myself. Thanks Jocko and Jordan for your podcasts/videos. And shoutout to anyone who appreciates these two gentleman.
Chris Bertucci good for you. That’sa ‘balls’ decision but one that will likely set you free at a more meaningful level. Simplification brings freedom. Wish you all the best.
Thank you I’m thinking about the same decision, I’m already a worker bee 🐝 but the responsibility year after year has become grueling. I want to focus on the life I want. Thanks for sharing your decision. Your new life awaits you.
Listening to this was exactly what I needed to hear right now, one of those lightbulb moments, brilliant, listening to these two men has really helped me get through some tough times, thanks.
Thanks for this. JP is saving a generation of men and teaching them to take responsibility. Life is suffering, and we need to learn how to endure it. Liked and subbed.
Jocko literally speaks pure knowledge..common sense...and motivation.He gives you what you need to hear to remind you of what you forgot.Jordan is also extremely smart and hits you with facts.Scientific facts.
I've understood this for a few years now since retiring. The problem is I can't find it. I don't mean for lack of trying. I'm just coming up with blanks. I had a very strict upbringing which didn't allow for exploration and creativity, then I joined the Marines at 18. I'm self-motivated. I still read and work out. I have hobbies and projects. I just haven't found my next ''mission'', ''career''. This has been the hardest challenge for me to transition from military service to the ''real world''.
I'm a vet and had, what I think, was a crisis moment. Possibly exhistential. I texted my boss at 3am asking what my purpose was in the company. I now understand it was a means to uncover the truths brought up in this clip. Thank you for articulating this.
Jordan's eye contact is very intense. I think that's one trait of an alpha male and we should never avoid this trait because it will show that we're not confident.
I think you're reading into this a bit too much, or just saying things that sound cool but are rather trivial and meaningless even after a very brief analysis.
It's well - worthwhile to do and take action about incorporating things they're talking about!! Because it's extremely helpful and makes things better!
Fucking unbelievable finding out about and listening to these two, the Jocko podcast and Jordan himself. It's worth coming back to again and again anytime you feel your mind wandering and become unfocused. Mental steroids!
I remember when I was a linemen in a champion ship game I messed up my finger during a game but the team needed me so I taped it up and continued to shove back the D-line and next morning I got an x ray and it was broken. 100% what based Kermit is saying
There is so much to learn here.. Look at these two real men listening to the Dr. Listening like its a drug.. Why to be better leaders if things went south in war not like the Dr. Jordan PETERSON Wouldn't reverse roles and learn from Jocko or honestly get behind him in a gun fight... But the only thing that wold prevent the Dr. From i guess knowing his role is these two guys would get in front of him first! I hope i said that right.
I do not disagree with Jocko... it takes me back to my old days. HOWEVER, this is why we have the growing problem with busybodies... and social justice "warriors", etc. They need a mission. Most cannot make informed conclusions and must be told. Secondly, this civilization overall, has become decadent... thus becomes the snake that eats it's own tail. Those who cannot make informed conclusions, for whatever reason... are wrongfully elevated to a higher social standing, under the guise of equality. So the desire to exceed a personal mission and have a mission of something greater then one's ability or purpose... leads to the busybody and those who complicate the uncomplicated. Life is about survival, and a part of survival is dealing with boredom. When a task... mission presents itself... do what needs to be done. When done, let it go... do not attempt to make the 15 mins of glory into 30 mins... nor do not seek the next, if it comes it comes... if not then not.
apacheslim - I am not sure how your question relates to my statement. However. Whatever to survive, as long as it does not harm or interfere with another... but this does not mean you may unintentionally hurt feelings. Do not expect equal outcome, but know you most likely have equal opportunity. Keep your life simple, find the truth and help others as your next mission.
apacheslim - I still do not understand how my comment relates to your question. Only you know the answer to this. Too many variables to consider, for example... how much is enough, what is important to you, what is your endgame, perhaps even how you want to be remembered in life. Are you a person of integrity, of high caliber, a person of principle or principal, what are your morals and values... are these things important, perhaps the said last example could lead to... your soul and what happens after this life, God!? There are lies told to society... pursue your passions, you can do anything you want, equal outcome, etc. Words of the delusional wealthy. This leads to, what is your starting point, when you begin... and who are you and who you are.
apacheslim, OKAY... how about either building something useful OR re-building useful things??? RE-building things is VERY useful. I do it all the time myself, and those things I rebuilt are (at least) NOT in a landfill ruining some more of the environment than they already cost to build the first time. They are useful again, and people can buy them from me, and SAVE a lot of money over going to a store and buying very similar things "brand new"... They last (generally) just as long the second or third time around as they did the first, and are usually rebuildable again, too. The work is often tedious. It takes a lot of research (at first), and is (often) mostly janitorial (cleaning)... BUT you can learn a lot of engineering and history, and the required materials don't have to cost a fortune, so you won't necessarily get into a mountain of debt off the very first start... You can often find these things in dumpsters or on the side of the road. Some are advertised in Craigslist, or some other "trade/free" sites and advertisements. Word of mouth gets around and people will (eventually) start calling you, bringing stuff to you to fix, and asking if you would mind showing up all over the countryside to help them out... because it can be a lot cheaper to fix something that's already been built once, than it is to tear it down and out and go get a brand new one to put back... NOT always, but it certainly can be. The downside (if it's really a downside, or there even is such a thing) is that you tend to accumulate junk. From antiques that you might never EVER find the missing parts for, to unused portions of other dead antiques you've scavenged to get others working again. AND it's not always antiques necessarily, but there's still the accumulation of junk. It's just inconvenient when it gets out of hand... so there's a lot to be said about moderation(?)... I guess. I try (if you want personal perspective) to keep focus on rebuilding appliances and tools. Those are most often the most useful. Of course, while you trade and sell and swap around, PAYING ATTENTION is vital. You don't want to get into a mountain of stuff that you've gotten to work only to find out nobody wants it... BUT the occasion to learn something new by working on something old isn't entirely bad. Learning is going to cost no matter how you go about it. AND at least, if you learn about something by fixing something, you have something to show for it... even if it's just a cool looking gizmo that nobody in his right mind uses anymore... (lolz... I have a LOT of those) In the meantime, while you may find this isn't the most appealing work to get into... It will grow on you. At least, I've never seen someone actively pursue it that didn't somehow grow to enjoy it over time. AND while it makes you money, you can also devote time and energy and eventually some of that money toward something you discover along the way that you'd RATHER do... AND that's perfectly okay, too. Life is a journey, not a static place. ;o)
Finding Your Next Mission - Jocko Willink and Jordan Peterson Discipline is important and it teaches self-control. 00:00 Lack of responsibility and a negative mindset can lead to failure and a lack of purpose. 01:09 Positive emotions, such as a sense of accomplishment, drive us forward. 02:18 Addiction is more likely in individuals who lack purpose and meaning in life. 03:27 A strong purpose can counteract pain, anxiety, and fear. 04:36 Nihilism is a weak philosophical position, as it fails to acknowledge the inherent wrongness of suffering. 05:45 Taking responsibility for our actions, even the unpleasant ones, is necessary for self-improvement. 06:54 Improving your character and limiting harmful actions and perceptions can lead to a more fulfilling life.
The conversation you provided is rich with insights on discipline, responsibility, finding purpose, and combating nihilism. Here's a breakdown and analysis: Discipline and Self-Responsibility: Both speakers emphasize the importance of discipline, especially after leaving the military. They discuss how military training instills discipline, but beyond that, individuals must cultivate self-discipline to succeed in civilian life. This self-discipline involves taking responsibility for one's actions and decisions. Finding Purpose: The speakers stress the significance of finding a new mission or purpose after leaving the military. They argue that having a clear goal to work towards is essential for maintaining motivation and a sense of meaning in life. Without a mission, individuals may feel lost and directionless, leading to nihilism. Nihilism and Responsibility: Nihilism is portrayed as a weak philosophical position that alleviates individuals from responsibility. The speakers suggest that nihilism can lead to a lack of motivation, addiction, and bitterness. They advocate for taking responsibility for improving oneself and the world, even in small ways, to combat nihilistic tendencies. Reward Systems and Meaningful Goals: The discussion delves into the neurological basis of motivation, highlighting the importance of pursuing meaningful goals. The pursuit of meaningful goals activates the brain's reward system, providing motivation, focus, and a sense of fulfillment. The magnitude of the reward experienced correlates with the importance of the goal pursued. Taking Responsibility and Humility: Taking responsibility for one's actions and striving for self-improvement are presented as acts of humility. It involves acknowledging one's flaws and actively working to address them, even when it's uncomfortable or challenging. This process requires self-reflection and a willingness to change. Virtue Signaling vs. Genuine Self-Improvement: The speakers criticize virtue signaling and emphasize the importance of genuine self-improvement over public displays of righteousness. They advocate for private introspection and genuine efforts to better oneself, rather than seeking validation or recognition from others. In summary, the conversation highlights the importance of discipline, responsibility, and finding meaningful goals to combat nihilism and cultivate a sense of purpose in life. It underscores the significance of taking personal responsibility for self-improvement and contributing positively to the world.
I like Jordan Peterson but he loses me sometimes..I feel like he's a bit too deep for me to really understand...at least the amount of it...small pieces yes.
Now that explains a lot. The rat thing. Since I have found my purpose I kicked ALL ADDICTIONS. No joke. I used to play computer games a lot, binge watch series, films, pornography. Now my PlayStation and television are collecting dust. I play games probably once a year. That is it. Films I got a few new ones. Completely forgot about them. Been sitting on my harddrive for months. Porn used to do it 3 -4 times a day. Now once or maybe twice a week and only if I am frustrated and need to relax because I am overloaded with work. Long story short, no matter what your age is. Find your purpose!

I love how they never interrupt each other.
Alpha male trait.

Mike Earls ...isn’t that sometimes called listening?
YOWIE ...Jocko passed Alphaville 50 miles ago.
Kathy Newman can learn a lot from these two.
Jocko and Jordan make such a good pair
Indeed! Please invite him more! I found out about Jockko through Dr. Peterson.
Agreed, they are so opposite yet strangely similar as they both have so much common sense!

Can't get enough of these two gentlemen!
I'm Canadian, and FORTUNATELY I voted for Justin Trudeau(which was a huge mistake, but fortunate nonetheless).

"purposeless rat is prone to addiction'.
I love that he referenced Rat Park. I learned about it in rehab.
Thanx Jocko... getting a conversation with Dr. Peterson makes this one of my favorite pod casts

HELL YES! finally these two collaborated.
Thank you Jordan Peterson and Jocko Willink, I feel inspired to get my shit together.
I love these two together. They have taken paths that could not be more different, and they both came to know the same truths.
I'm so glad I live in a world where I can listen to these two absolute units.
These two thinkers have so much influence and wisdom.
I've understood this for a few years now since retiring. The problem is I can't find it. I don't mean for lack of trying. I'm just coming up with blanks. I had a very strict upbringing which didn't allow for exploration and creativity, then I joined the Marines at 18. I'm self-motivated. I still read and work out. I have hobbies and projects. I just haven't found my next ''mission'', ''career''. This has been the hardest challenge for me to transition from military service to the ''real world''.
Being a great Husband, Father or Grandfather is a very important mission. The most important.
Next mission:
- Make life better for myself and other people
- be a good person
- save the Universe!
Iam Notevenanumber let’s do it!

The best two guys on youtube.
love these short clips, keep them coming.
Discipline is true freedom. Once i got my head around that one shit finally clicked in my life.
"The purposeless rat is prone to addiction"...how true of humans as well!
These gentlemen need to talk on a regular basis.
As a prior vet, Jordan Peterson is absolutely on point.

T-shirt idea “The purposeless rat is prone to addiction “ -Jordan Peterson
I did not know how important purpose is until I lost mine.
There is so much to learn here.. Look at these two real men listening to the Dr. Listening like its a drug..

Do not expect equal outcome, but know you most likely have equal opportunity. Keep your life simple, find the truth and help others as your next mission.
+# MakingOfACriminal sorry my comment has been removed. I wanted to know what purpose we should choose given what has been said in the above video.

Too many variables to consider, for example... how much is enough, what is important to you, what is your endgame, perhaps even how you want to be remembered in life.
Are you a person of integrity, of high caliber, a person of principle or principal, what are your morals and values... are these things important, perhaps the said last example could lead to... your soul and what happens after this life, God!?

Finding Your Next Mission - Jocko Willink and Jordan Peterson
Discipline is important and it teaches self-control.
00:00
Lack of responsibility and a negative mindset can lead to failure and a lack of purpose.
01:09
Positive emotions, such as a sense of accomplishment, drive us forward.
02:18
Addiction is more likely in individuals who lack purpose and meaning in life.
03:27
A strong purpose can counteract pain, anxiety, and fear.
04:36
Nihilism is a weak philosophical position, as it fails to acknowledge the inherent wrongness of suffering.
05:45
Taking responsibility for our actions, even the unpleasant ones, is necessary for self-improvement.
06:54
Improving your character and limiting harmful actions and perceptions can lead to a more fulfilling life.
The conversation you provided is rich with insights on discipline, responsibility, finding purpose, and combating nihilism. Here's a breakdown and analysis:
Discipline and Self-Responsibility: Both speakers emphasize the importance of discipline, especially after leaving the military. They discuss how military training instills discipline, but beyond that, individuals must cultivate self-discipline to succeed in civilian life. This self-discipline involves taking responsibility for one's actions and decisions.
Finding Purpose: The speakers stress the significance of finding a new mission or purpose after leaving the military. They argue that having a clear goal to work towards is essential for maintaining motivation and a sense of meaning in life. Without a mission, individuals may feel lost and directionless, leading to nihilism.
Nihilism and Responsibility: Nihilism is portrayed as a weak philosophical position that alleviates individuals from responsibility. The speakers suggest that nihilism can lead to a lack of motivation, addiction, and bitterness. They advocate for taking responsibility for improving oneself and the world, even in small ways, to combat nihilistic tendencies.
Reward Systems and Meaningful Goals: The discussion delves into the neurological basis of motivation, highlighting the importance of pursuing meaningful goals. The pursuit of meaningful goals activates the brain's reward system, providing motivation, focus, and a sense of fulfillment. The magnitude of the reward experienced correlates with the importance of the goal pursued.
Taking Responsibility and Humility: Taking responsibility for one's actions and striving for self-improvement are presented as acts of humility. It involves acknowledging one's flaws and actively working to address them, even when it's uncomfortable or challenging. This process requires self-reflection and a willingness to change.
Virtue Signaling vs. Genuine Self-Improvement: The speakers criticize virtue signaling and emphasize the importance of genuine self-improvement over public displays of righteousness. They advocate for private introspection and genuine efforts to better oneself, rather than seeking validation or recognition from others.
In summary, the conversation highlights the importance of discipline, responsibility, and finding meaningful goals to combat nihilism and cultivate a sense of purpose in life. It underscores the significance of taking personal responsibility for self-improvement and contributing positively to the world.
Hey jocko, do you think you could look into interviewing someone from a pararescue career field?
That's a great suggestion. Try to get it to him through his official channels.
Please have him back on ….

I like Jordan Peterson but he loses me sometimes..I feel like he's a bit too deep for me to really understand...at least the amount of it...small pieces yes.
I watched this while procrastinating about things I have to to but don't want to do them.

Now that explains a lot. The rat thing. Since I have found my purpose I kicked ALL ADDICTIONS. No joke. I used to play computer games a lot, binge watch series, films, pornography. Now my PlayStation and television are collecting dust. I play games probably once a year. That is it. Films I got a few new ones. Completely forgot about them. Been sitting on my harddrive for months. Porn used to do it 3 -4 times a day. Now once or maybe twice a week and only if I am frustrated and need to relax because I am overloaded with work.
Long story short, no matter what your age is. Find your purpose!
