    Start listening to Prof Jordan Peterson after a very low emotional time in my life 5 months ago. He builds me up every day as I listen to his lectures on a daily basis for at least 5 hours. Today I feel again my old self. More confident and find myself ( that I lost a long time ago ).

      @@Jacob-fd9nm I don’t think he means father figure (Talip SAKA, I mean) very specifically to its traditional meaning. Jordan Peterson always makes these sorts of weird “dreamy” connections between like chaos and the feminine, and although I have not heard his interpretation of it, I don’t believe that he genuinely considers the feminine to be exactly similar to chaos, whereas he has described chaos as like when you just don’t know and everything is out of your control. Maybe Talip SAKA sees him as a real father figure, idk, probably not, but instead Jordan Peterson is kind of like the internet common sense explained in uncommon sense guy. Jordan Peterson is a very interesting person to listen to since much of what he says seems applicable to current thinking, politics, etc, and it’s just interesting, so in the same way, this person comes back to listen to Jordan Peterson for those reasons, I think the connection is similar to the educational process of a real father who so-to-speak teaches one the nitty-gritty. However, to extrapolate from that the idea that this person loves Jordan Peterson in a weird one-way relationship akin to fatherly-son love is just kinda weird... You speak very condescendingly with “big words” over an obviously shortly-thought our comment. Oh wait I’m doing that, oh well, the point still stands

    The idea towards the end of the video of the Democratization of Osiris (starting at 2:18:39) may be one of the most profound ideas Dr. Peterson has shared. I love how he explained that sovereignty started moving down the hierarchy throughout time, from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Greece to Christianity.
    I think the most important part may be from 2:20:48 to 2:21:06. Dr. Peterson explains just how ancient the ideas we attribute to the Enlightenment are, and shows why it would be dangerous to think our values are Enlightenment ideas or that our values can be rationalized.
    This strikes at the heart of every ideology today, and it shows an alternate solution to Nietszche's ubermen, that we need to reconnect to our ancient values. It is dangerous to attribute our values to the Enlightenment or to rationalism because it lends credibility to all sorts of dangerous ideologies we see on the rise today. This is why Dr. Peterson says Nietszche foresaw the rise of totalitarianism. The truth is that we have values that are not rationalized, and are ancient beyond what we can even imagine.
    If you watch many of Dr. Peterson's lectures, he makes the case that our values are grounded on a biological basis that we share with rats, and that can be extended back to behaviors we share with lobsters. The biological basis for our values go back hundreds of millions of years, much earlier than the time when we could rationalize our values or even be vaguely aware of them like the Mesopotamians and Ancient Egyptians were. Leaning too much on rationalism has completely disconnected us from our ancient values, values that we once lived out without thinking just by being social animals in a dominance hierarchy.
    It's amazing, it's so amazing. Now I see why Dr. Peterson thinks Panksepp's discovery of the play circuit in mice is worthy of a Nobel prize, because it opens the door into some of the deepest realities of our being. It's absolutely amazing.

      The end of the lecture was very captivating. However, when it comes to everybody being valuable and part of society with Christianity, even if that was Jesus message, you cannot say that was Europe's history during the middle age (I'm assuming he goes at least 1000 years ago to talk about foundations of Western civilization).
      Kings were the representation of God because their power came not from the rest of the population (aka democracy) but directly from God. It is not until much later that religion and state get separated, and even in some developing countries regular people did not feel like "citizens" or valuable pieces of society until 50 years ago, maybe less.

    • @RSanchez111
      @RSanchez111 6 лет назад +9

      @@olemew I think the Catholic Church was complicit in that, and I think that's why Nietszche thought that Christianity's development of the ability to follow Truth ultimately lead to the death of God. Dostoyevsky had a very similar criticism which he articulated in his story The Grand Inquisitor. In that story, the grand inquisitor was willing to execute Christ Himself, even while the inquisitor was ostensibly an agent of Christ, and even after the inquisitor was convinced that he was really talking to the actual Christ. Nietzsche thought well of Christ Himself, but very heavily criticized the Church. Tolstoy also criticized the Russian Orthodox Church for hypocritically selectively rejecting some of Christ's teachings in his book "The Kingdom of Christ Is Within You", which proceeded from his earlier book "My Religion". Jordan Peterson himself talks about Christ all the time, but refuses to go to church, going so far as saying that the churches are full of lying pastors.
      The churches were so hypocritical with regards to the sovereignty of the individual that we had to separate Church and State and rededicate the state to the elevation of the sovereignty of the individual. But even then, the State often threatens the idea of the sovereignty of the individual. The Spirit of Truth humbled the Church, and it also humbles states that degenerate into tyranny.

      Excellent summary! As an Indian, I obviously compare this thesis with the foundational philosophy of the Eastern civilization. To be honest, I don't really know what that is. If I were to answer presently, perhaps it is the duality of 'karma' and 'dharma', or doing your duties, which is what Krishna advises Arjun to do in the Mahabharata when Arjun has doubts over killing his cousins. While one could argue that this is synonymous with the sovereignty of the individual, the duty of the individual may contrast with the duty towards your family or caste. I hope someone in India does as good a job to the Indian texts as Peterson does with the Western texts. That would be truly illuminating, at least to me.

      The paradoxical roles of, hopefully, a stable two parent relationship that does kind of, in a controlled or disciplined manner, to “be mean to the kid” by teaching and forcing methods of chores and goal oriented tasks that have either positive or negative consequences, all decisions have consequences, and maintaining the orderly structure of that relatively stable world as one grows is tantamount to the survival of western culture. The lack of fathers in so many situations, particularly in black and indigenous native Americans and inner city cultures is what is driving the chaos of today. Those perpetuating that chaos just to “get their way” are not going to respond well to the discipline consequences that are about to come. Not going to like it at all.

    When he's reading his computer and showing the top of his head, Mr. Peterson (Jordan "I had a client" Peterson) reminds me of St. George in Ucello's paint for some reason. Perhaps the expression of duty in the face of difficulty?
    A marvel to have discovered you, Mr. Peterson.

      jeremy hunt My daughter was taught that too in college! I told her that is closed minded you don't throw away all of what one brilliant original thinker says because some of it is disproved. It's like one big cult of professors now teaching the same thing in some universities. How can one learn to really have an original thought at all if they are not challenged to read all of the material and analyze it? Thank goodness she was a chemistry major and didn't get deep into the humanities department. My other daughter's uni seems to be more liberal to critically think.

Holy Moses! It's a wild quantum jitterbug! I didn't get past the 1st hour.
    You painted some pretty broad strokes with the order/disorder characterizations. I will have to re-read Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. I'm not sure you have the sequencing correct. As odious as this may seem to some I think something has be left out. It's out of the box. But thanks for publishing this. I am sure your Bible lectures will, if not open some people's eyes, make them reconsider long held beliefs.

    As someone who had a wonderful father and a very horrible terrible abusive mother, Jordan is right. It is a gift that I have an amazing father who is a great man by every stretch of the imagination. But the damaged mother relationship really messes with you psychology in ways you just don't even know and that you can never let go of.
    If you are rejected, unloved and abused by the person that is supposed to care for you unconditionally, it just fucks with your whole psyche. You start to reject yourself, or part of yourself because if your mother can't love you and if you can't trust her how the hell can you trust anyone else.
