It's not enough, simply, for the library to be there. There needs a certain mediation of the institution. So for example, we could have-there's a piano in the other side of this room. You know, we could say, well, there's a piano here. You're free to play the piano. Ah, but I-I can't play the piano. I don't know the chords and the scales. I haven't-and yet, if I-if I did all that then what I can make happen on the piano is infinitely richer than if i've never learned to play the piano. And I suppose-I suppose when we talk about rescuing the values of the treasure trove- That's discipline as the precondition for freedom. Right? Which is-which is a-which is actually a Nietzschean idea, at least in part-I mean it's older than that. It's the apprenticeship idea. It's that-it's that before you can be a painter who can paint what's beyond mere memory, you have to inculcate that discipline skill, and that a lot of that is painful repetition and hard grinding work. It's the sacrifice of the present for the future. But once you manage that then things open up, and virtually everything you learn of value is like that. It's very, very, very difficult to learn to write and there's arbitrary-"arbitrary" rules that you have to follow and bind yourself to, and while you're learning those rules, the probability that you have any creative freedom to speak of or any facility with the rules is very low. You're a rank beginner. And even to some degree whatever creativity you have is going to have to be stifled while you're passing through that-that keyhole. But if you pass through it, then something massive opens up on the other side, and it is definitely the case that disciplinary institutions, universities, are exactly that-is they're places of guidance and they're places to encourage people to develop the discipline that's necessary to see beyond the discipline. I mean, that's why we have disciplines, right? I mean, the words aren't there by accident. You have to narrow yourself first, and then you can broaden outward, and that's part of the process of maturation, that-that part of the-that's part of the sacrifice of childhood. Say, in childhood you're nothing but potential. But it's not realized and you don't know how to realize it. And so then the question is, well, how do you get to a point where you realize the potential? And the answer is you sacrifice almost all of it to a single direction. This is Nietzsche's commentary on the Catholic Church. He's a great admirer of the Catholic Church, despite the fact that he was also a radical critic of Christianity. See, the thing about the Catholic Church is that it forced everything to be interpreted within a single explanatory framework, and that was a discipline. And once that discipline was established then the disciplined mind could explode in every direction, which is precisely what happened. And so-and that's the thing about growing up is that when you're a teenager and a young adult you have to sacrifice everything you could have been as a child to be the one thing that you're aiming at. But then that opens up and-and the universities are part and parcel of that process. And you need the guidance because the library is too large to wander through it unaided.

12 rules for life is a great book from Peterson.
Of course man! Of course !
Guess I'm in good shape then?
The library is too large to wander through unaided 🙏
That's what RUclips algorithms are for. :)
Al-Hadi, Ar-Rashid
Jordan Peterson has literally changed my life and my way of thinking. I'm so glad I found him when I did.
🙂congrats
What he changed in your life?
@@arko128 a number of things, but the main thing is this: he changed the way I think about how much control we have over our lives and how much of it is under our control. I was the type of person who was just living life and skating for things to happen, waiting for things to improve. I pursued short term pleasures and believed that was me living a happy life but it left me depressed and anxious with no sense of self. Listening to JPs videos has helped me realise the importance of developing character through the pursuit of long term, valuable goals. By living a more organised life. He made me see what I was doing wrong when nobody around me could. Not even myself.
@@notherntranceaddict181 And you really improved your life, or you just relised that you should do something?
@@arko128 improved my life mate. Gradually, but definitely.
Without discipline, you rarely put in the necessary work to success. Undisciplined people often lack the capacity to even start a good habit, as that takes a lot of time!
You're right !
roughly speaking 🤣
Quite true, Julie Andrews said: "Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me FREE to fly."
Wow! Beautifully said!
Indeed, Motivation gets us going, but Discipline keeps us going. So, the choice is we either suffer the pain of discipline today, or suffer the pain of regret later 🖖
I am suffering regret right now and I cry almost every night. Now I'm learning Discipline. It's a battle repeat everyday.
@@nguyenlinh8654 as long as we draw breath, life can change.
I believe in you.
God is also willing to help you if you ask him.
@@calmstorm5632 thank you. Gods always beside us. I know it
We're all on this journey Brother. Everyday is a struggle from the previous. Each day. Step by step.
Excellent comment sir!!!
Yes, I learning in my age, 70, to playing on cello, it’s decepline, thank you Jordan
I had to search for 50 words to completely understand Jordan Peterson's part of the conversation, some of those words I searched I had to learn more words to understand that one word. And It was really worth it because as I'm learning from him I'm also getting better at my mother and English language.
Inculcate.. that was the first time ever for me
Chris That’s personal discipline. One of the vaccines for angry streets.
Frfr pause video, “hey Siri what’s the definition for” hahaha
Chris, you are living the EXACT principle JP is explaining here. You are studying and putting in the REQUIRED EFFORT. It takes YEARS to master a skill. I'm getting so sick of these "know it all" people that THINK they know something because they saw a video about the subject on RUclips. I have dedicated thousands of hours of study and work to become the professional I am today. Pass through the keyhole and you'll have success waiting there for you on the other side!
He’s right, like wise I too have put in what some would call a relentless amount of hours,days, years of what some may call a meaningless activity since I was 18(skateboarding), for almost 10 years and I’m just at the beginning of my mastery of it, I still have a ways to go, the point is. Why should you try so hard for anything, cause most people won’t. I see so many dudes out here that wanna be so good at skating but skate one or twice a week, you can’t master anything by being half committed, no one ever achieved mastery without striving for it, and I use the word “strive” because until you realize that you must not only under stand that but experice suffering and pain, and only through relentless, mental, and physically exhausting yourself will you begin to not just see your progression but feel it. But a person can and must truly believe in themselves. See most people don’t believe in themselves enough to become great. And that is why most people don’t achieve high levels of creativity, sophistication, art, etc. in the great words of Rodney Mullen “belief is rarer than talent” another good example although In a fiction movie “Lucy” she takes two knives and stabs them into the hands of the Asian drug lord. And says “learning hurts, all you know right now is pain” and the Asian guys is in agony. The same with learning to accept and even fuel off that pain
I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of JP and that was one of the best edits I’ve ever heard. Well done 👍🏻
Jacob Alanheimer Absolutely!
"To be what one is, is to enter fully into being a process." -Carl Rogers
Discipline it's the sacrifice of the present for the future.
I love the example of the piano, make you understand how life works
We need to teach our children discipline leading with good examples.
Yeah, we really aren't explicitly taught our values anymore. People used to go to church but that institution or people's fundamental belief in it has basically burnt to the ground...
He makes me calm and focus single mindedly even if it is late
I have come to believe that discipline is the basis for freedom only took me 38 years but i get it and im working on it.
I got there now in my year 32. I'm lucky then to have gotten it so early. Time to be grateful and work hard to have awesome 40s.
I see it now in my 20s, see ya in my 30s :)
"Discipline is the precursor to freedom" this is the best I think anybody has ever described discipline. These 6 words are more powerful than entire motivational lectures and seminars. JP is simply a living legend.
Mr. Peterson thank you for interrupting this man to shed your beautiful perspective and insight.
He's a true Conservative thinker.
I miss this man so much
Clarity leads to the truth
Sir , I respect you .
Love Jordan! He's a wise guy. Don't always agree with him, but there is definitely some insight to be had :)
Me too, his political views on classical Marxism are totally wrong (I'm not a Marxist, btw), but he makes some psychological ideas more accessible
He makes me calm
@@dotdashdotdash I think he comments on radical Marxism, in that relying on indoctrinated "fairness" to propagate "freedom" or "prosperity" begins restricting peoples and destroying the sense of freedom and prosperity it was after. Also he is more critical of Marxism because it's the natural antithesis of the capitalist basis of the west which kind of... seems to be "working" which I obviously use loosely. Even he agrees there should be some balance in ideology.
Mind blown. On something i've always known, but never put into words.
Yes, discipline is really , really , really important.
Jordan Peterson is beyond genius, he is a visionary
I love this! Discipline and REPETITION
Being consistent and putting in consistent effort to achieve YOUR freedom really works.
Nothing happens by accident, I quit corporate to have the freedom I want and dreamed about, however, it didn't happen overnight.
Consistent effort and actions, together with belief and trust. Magic ingredients.
"The Library is too big to walk through it unaided"
I love this guy. I hope he gets better soon. He made my life so much better just listening to him.
Peterson is a cool dude
Wise words.
Thank you for including the link
One of the best channels on youtube, following since a long time. The content here is gold
This video is unbelivably good. Thank you so much for it.
God bless and love you.
We all need that discipline, not just the kids. In retrospect, we need to relearn what we missed or were mis told when we were younger.
We are all children, but some are older than others.
The emotions I get from this video
Wise words
Thank you
Such a great pleasure to hear that. Genius people here and I appreciate it. 👍👏 Congrats for the content. Hugs
Who dislikes this video? Seriously? You'd have to be one arrogant anti-individual to dislike a simple, yet absolutely profound critique such as this.
Those who want things for free & take no responsibility for any of their actions!
Everyone on the left who hates the man, because he rips apart their marxist and maoist ideologies to shreds, and makes them look like anti-intellectual illogical fools.
There is a large population of people that dislike videos to be ironic. Then there are a large portion of people that hate Jordan Peterson. Then there are a portion of individuals who claim their understanding of the mechanics of personhood is greater than everyone else's except for maybe some of their previous teachers. So there's a pretty large viable group of "dislikers" I think.
@@ScottySmith1957 you think right.
Discipline equals freedom
Love From Saginaw MI
very good analogy
Jordan was a Machine at that time, what a Warrior.
I doubt he will ever come back to this finest form of physical and intellectual majesty.
Great video
Tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare, so true
Precise decisions daily🤘🔥🤘🔥 freedom from another mans channel
Discipline = Freedom
Jocko approves!
“The library is too large to wonder in it unaided “
That is a strong sentence
Plus reading discipline = freedom by Jocko
"Sacrifice the present for future"❤️
Word. 🤔
Wow. He just explained the purpose of school in 4mins. And I've went my whole life searching for something or a reason that could come close to this
Why this man's not running a western country is beyond...
In sports it is said that the best players always break from the fundamentals,but they have to learn the fundamentals first. Some of the best hitters swing the bat uniquely. Just a thought that seemed relevant to the idea of freedom through discipline
So true that’s why you can’t only teach that mentality. It is culminated through experience.
Freedom is not a state that has been normalized on this planet. At least for humans
Is the sacrifice of the present for the future. Damn am not sacrificing enough!
That one thing... Always that one thing.....
For everything that happens and for all that will happen, accept it for what it is and make the best use of your time, that way, you won't waste your time worrying about what will come or regret the actions that you didn't take from your past as you are being present.
I completely agree with you.
By the way, nice content on your channel, I'm your 91st subscriber.
Cheers.
Discipline to a teacher trustworthy
it's risking it all for something only you believe in.

I had something in mind to share about this, but I'd best go do some eh?
Ah well, damnit me too I guess...
Say what you want abut this men political believes, but this guy has the right view of life.
I thought I was so superior (as a "Renaissance Man") in my 20s when I read everything I could get my hands on, but I am much happier years later now that I have specialized and gotten my doctorate and professional license in a field that suits me.
Are you really? Or did you just realize and accept the limits of your abilities, which lead you down that path instead of a creative endeavour
@@vlogcity1111 Yes. The concept of Focus is a treasure! I used to think of it as being "narrow-minded" but I got past that mental block and self-shaming.
SubhanAllah
Alright, buckos?! Who has the link for this interview or knows the name of it?
Stephen blackwood and Jordan peterson type it in. It will come up
Ask Jocko.
Discipline is the precursor to Freedom, just like Production is the precursor to Consumption. There is a Hierarchy.
Where is this interview
...how he jumped in so respectfully cause he confidently, he was sure what was being spoken about.
Point is: when you ask a question or try to explain, the real alpha male will instantly give you a straight clear answer
@Psychonaut we all have struggles
He has learnt through his Practice as a clinical psychologist and through his Experiences, these two are a rich combination the later being superior
@Psychonaut anyone willing to share there life experiences to the benefit pf another deserves my *RESPECT* learnt this through my father
@Psychonaut yes he is a mess but its better to acknowledge and try to reduce the mess than remain stagnant in a mess
Remember Life is Suffering
Well I guess he isn't a "real alpha male" because he rarely answers clearly. Just a bunch of nebulous jargon.
@@steven5054 look at the fathers of Philosophy plato, pliny, socrates, look at Napoleon Hill (whom i think Jordan is shadowing) they always use lots of explanations and long sentences to put out a point,thought or idea
Especially the older fathers of Philosophy they held public debates for a full day
Freedom is a responsibility a responsibility for other people's Freedom you mightn't agree with but then I am an Anarchist.
When he dies....
His lessons will resonate for ages...he will still live through his teachings to others.
But I will be deeply sad.
Jist thinking about it makes me kind of sad.
That's if don't die first my sefl, who knows😅
Discipline doesnt have to be painful if you enjoy it haha
It’s almost always painful at first but then I end up enjoying it
is the forced motivatiional music necessary to get the message
Can someone explain to me what he meant about the Catholic Church?
I think the idea he’s getting at is that the Catholic Church offered a set of values to people in an otherwise chaotic world, therefore giving them
Purpose. The belief and value system gave people a framework in which to operate, and by having a firm set of beliefs they were able to discipline themselves and use Religion as a guide and generally make the world a better place. Once they had their beliefs and values settled, they could use this to move forward and apply themselves in other areas of the world.
OK. Well the Catholic Church started the idea of apprenticeship. This was later : (industrial revolution era ) taken up by the various guilds; some of which ; thankfully, still exist, with limited interference from government to this day.( trades)
Saying that it's a Nietzsche's idea does he mean "On three metamorphoses" from Zarathustra?
Can I become an artist if I don't like doing art? I see it as work but I want the ability to do it. People seem to be under the impression that you can only do art if it's your passion or hobbie.
Seek freedom and you will become the slave of your desires, seek discipline and you will attain your liberty. Dune - Frank Herbert
Nope, no need, a want perhaps. But if someone thinks that better is better than good, then he will never become an original *anything*, for he will lack trust in himself. Yes it is very very hard to be honest to oneself.
Mastering anything will only make oneseöf despair and at worst kill oneself.
This song seems honest, but it's just a song: Little Eskimo Jesus - Too beautiful for this world

You need a guidance. Because the library is too large to wonder around it unaided.
Library is too large to wander through unaided.
Jocko Willink feels betrayed
I don't really know what hurts the most, discipline or regret. But both hurts.
I really do appreciate Dr Peterson's historical analysis on this subject. However; business and corporations -- with the undying support of government -- now hold the role ; formerly that of the Catholic Church . And later on ; TECHNICAL COLLEGE .
This in itself is not so bad ,though it does
change the dynamic. Through the specialization of these entities themselves , trades have become overly specialized also. ( what is not profitable is not taught). So now the almighty market decides
what is required and business and corporate decide who is competent .(read politically and ideologically compliant )Please consider this when a goddam chimpanzee with a caulking gun , rocks up
to fix the plumbing..Don't be fooled, Marxists aren't the only ones who indoctrinate.
I think wrong way to put it. Discipline has all what he said but sacrificed. On the contrary discipline is whole person balance, focus, expression all done with joy. The will of man. Sacrifice : is I don’t really want to do it , but I should or I will. Big difference . I don’t really want to be a pianist but I have to do it. Or I want to be a pianist but I don’t want to practice and learn about it. So at the end the best pianist will be the one that enjoy the whole process rather the pianist that had to do it when he really didn’t want to practice . The same analogy goes with doctors. Some are doctors cause family expectations but other became doctors cause they enjoy the process to become doctor . Pain with pleasure . Just like Arnold said when he was at the gym he smile every time he made a rep in his workout while others seems to be suffering in their workout. So Arnold became best body builder he didn’t sacrifice anything he enjoy every minute of it.
Ok. But sometimes to discipline yourself you have to sacrifice other things. For example if you want to lose weight you have to sacrifice unhealthy foods and a lazier lifestyle for a healthy diet and active lifestyle and yes you enjoy it almost immediately because u feel so much better physically but the instinct for the bad things is still there and you sometimes fall back. That’s both discipline and sacrifice
If a child is to sacrifice his or her childhood, to be that one thing he or she wants to be, is a very limited future.
But it opens up because the child that sacrifices is the adult who achieves.
@@MMDelta9 I see your point of view, but the whole notion isn't quite right. Some adults cannot achieve because their childhood was lost.
@@chrisdavid1410 Well not a lot we can do about that.
Some kids die before they're a year old. But others are lucky. The question has always been what do you do with the hand your dealt? Do you bemoan your fate or do you grit your teeth and make it work?
@@chrisdavid1410 that’s an excuse. A person can always start fresh
@@Star-qh5wp Always???
I also recommend listening to what Dr. Gabor Maté has to say about this subjects... It's good that you aim for something in the outside world, but as the outside world exists, there's also an inside one, and if something is getting too harsh on the outside you might aswell go deeper in the inside one. What i mean is that in order for your estructure not to collapse you should also have good roots, aka, know yourself. You should be introspective as you move forward, and that's the point where i think Jordan is a little weak. You can force yourself only to a certain point before things get out of control. Before that happens, look what's happening inside you, search for trauma, search for your own conflict. I'm not saying that what Jordan says it's not valuable, but lacks a bit in the other half
It's such a pity that some specific groups interpret JB's "discipline" and "order" as "suppression" and "tyranny". What have this generation become..
I disagree with a lot of this. Why? Bc with a combination of discipline (from parents, school; etc) & childhood trauma none of what he & Nische says is Supposed to happen, happened. It took a Lot of OTHER dif influences to bring me out of that place to realize & start thriving in my potential & true essence. So maybe in a more perfect world This theory would be true. 🤷🏿♀️

No pain no gain. So easy. I do not to be Nietzsche. Anyhow, hyperintelligent and wealthy born persons have an advantage and become successful without pain. But for normal ones it is pain.
Hard work will NEVER substitute for smart work
I must say, the longer I live, the more I disagree with the idea of discipline. Sure if you know say 80-90% of how to do something RIGHT or optimal, in the end... it wont feel like discipline, and you'll probably get to 100% efficiency
If one still is stuck on the idea of discipline, WHY dont people talk about values?! I mean you wont be disciplined in something you detest! Sure, just "throw 10 000 hours" into something and you'll be fine
Yeah? Well then lets go back to hunt with spears and throw them around for 10 000 hours instead of inventing and shooting guns, much better, be disciplined! Be disciplined! WHAT are you smoking?!
Get to know yourself, understand what values you have and what perspectives in your personality that is core! Broad thinker and problem/task solver with short temperament? Ok go do shit! Are you a deep thinker? Ok good, go invent something! Are you harmony based? Do you love the new, collecting new experienced? Ok good, get them and share them. We are all different who needs the same shit, but we are all motivated by different things and it's your life mission to find out: WHAT do you VALUE
When you find it, even a lazy SOB will be disciplined, it's automatic
Grrr......
The question is are you motivated to enjoy your present or just the pleasures that come your way or are you motivated to become a better version of yourself and achieve a higher level of living. I say consistently working towards being your best most moral being with an eye out that others should benefit as well will get you very far. Most good things in life require discipline. A marriage. A family. A job etc.
And many people value a good marriage and value family but aren’t a ready to sacrifice thier short term pleasure for that. So even if you value something without discipline it’s not going to manifest
Imagine the power house this man will be when he converts to Catholicism.
He is trying to solve the problems of the world without St Thomas Aquinas philosophy or St Augustine.
