      Half a million people watched this and no one said anything about Gulag Archipelago not being a novel but the story of Soviet labour camps where several million people died. Basically it is Soviet's Auschwitz where people died of cold, hunger, disease and torture. It is so disappointing to see people removed from history and consequently reality. It happened about 70 years ago, so new, so fresh yet we know nothing about it. Thans to our collective ignorance similar atrocities will happen again and again.

    At the end of my secondary education I spent a year as a non academic student in a 'prestigious' high school that groomed the deserving for University. I spent my productive time in the library and read every book of substance in that confined space. None of the books I read were on Peterson's list although I have read several in the intervening 60 years.
    Being in a position to learn is very much a gift and an accident of social situation.
    Although I did manage to drag myself up from a ridiculous primary and secondary education, I went back to school part time from Grade 8 (correspondence) and in evenings school classes and was eventually granted a prestigious scholarship. I earned a Physics and Physical Oceanography degree at age 35. I have to say that the formal education was of no value except to teach me how to teach myself and for that I remain so, so grateful.
    Peterson is a complex guy who speaks to me like a prairie farmer neighbour. I know him. I learn from him. I drive my nails straighter because of him.

    he's unpretentiously neither.
    I Don't feel anything but honored continue consuming what he has to say of truths, and putting these general guide lines that we all should thrive for as a journey and not an ultimate destination, but we were blindfolded somehow in our recent era. now I'm not only "learning" from him or/and flatter myself for having at least to think the same way he does, without a bit of the magnificent articulation he amuses us with, and that strikes us with epiphanies, I'm now "relating" to his slips and fuck ups, and the struggle we all can easily go back to no matter how good we are.
    To be honest, it's narcissistic thinking he's our superhero as we all love to hear those who are pretentiously flawless so that we are guaranteed whether it's truthful or not, but is it really about truths then? or just if he wins or loses before our projection starts. wrong. he's a human with a great mind, Introspection, reconnecting all the dots forming guidelines for not perfecting our lives but to make it at least worth it.

    A multitude of Petersons lectures reflect concepts heavily discussed by socrates and epictetus. Very Stoic by nature with an admittance to the unknown but searching to define purpose and justice based on wisdom and choice.
