Like how a strong social safety net and unionisation was seen as a good thing until neo-liberalism came and gave people brain rot so they fight against them?
That’s how most of mainstream “science” has been done and picked seemingly as well even by our governments who operate on lobbying even if it goes against real scientific literature.
@Sam They are seekers of sympathy. They find their meaning, fulfillment, and contentment, in the sympathy of others. Thus, they can't be happy unless they are miserable.
The short attention span of our generation is sad. He's not rambling just because you came expecting the title to be right away. The title wasn't the basis for this entire discussion. Btw he does reach the answer to the title in the end. Patience and an attentive ear is all it takes. Problem with people is they only want to hear what they want and what they came for. The seek for greater and other knowledge besides the one's you want is gone. Don't live in a mental box. Even if he's off topic he's talking about something that most people don't know.
You said it...Off Topic...he does this constantly. If I wanted to pivot all over the place, I would not even bother to ask a question, just tell him..OK, start talking....
This guy took 10 minutes to basically say “leftists don’t believe in objective reality, so they’re trying to replace society’s oppressive narrative with an oppressive narrative of their own” He could’ve spent the rest of the time providing examples of why his analysis of leftism is accurate, which would actually provide something to discuss, instead he takes 10 minutes to make a series of broad statements and expects the listener to fill in the gaps and then praise him for being “sooo deep”
@@Charles-pf7zy JP took 10 minutes to say nothing, another 10 minutes to explain why he said nothing, and to finish it off, another 10 minutes to wrap up his 'point'. JP is delusional. No persons in the academic field take him seriously.
@Paul Semmens The only head Peterson goes 'over' is his own. Jungian theory is considered the laughing stock within the field of psychology. Peterson himself proclaimed the opinion that, despite our advances in technology and understanding, it's all got to do with some chaos dragon or something....
Jordan Peterson is a hypocrite. He supports Pierre Poilievre, (new Canadian Con-servative leader) who voted in favour of Bill C-6, a so-called “conversion therapy” ban to advance LGBT ideology and butchery and criminalize anyone who objects. Entire families could go to jail for five years if they dare to affirm their gender-confused children in the biological bodies in which they were born! Peterson is a hypocrite because he wrote and read those two Telegraph articles about Butchers and Liars in which he castigates physicians and psychiatrists who are in the child mutilation business but he supports Poilievre who, voted in favour of the Child Mutilation Pipeline Act. So Peterson endorses the politicians who make butchery legal and mandatory. Petersons is preaching morality and ethics whilst supporting the worst kind of crime and the worst kind of criminal.
@@SupposeKennethed Yep a proud gamer and intelligent enough to know that Jordan Peterson is an ignoramus. The man is teaching life principles and he is addicted to pills 💊
CMM. Socrates never existed. PETERSON is a legend in his own MIND. At least I've got me myself and I ably assisted by the ghost of John Lennon and Ned KELLY. How can I ,me and myself go wrong? IMAO G'DAY FROM AUSTRALIA MATE. :)
I'm so glad Jordan Peterson made that video that day against the criminalization of people in Canada for not using specific pronouns.. ..and then I guess we have to partially thank the lunatics that attacked him after and therefore propelling him into a global phenomenon. Otherwise, we might not have had had the gift of listening to him all over the world.
www.cbc.ca/cbcdocspov/features/canadas-gender-identity-rights-bill-c-16-explained factcheck.afp.com/no-canadians-cannot-be-jailed-or-fined-just-using-wrong-gender-pronoun No, Canadians cannot be jailed or fined just for using the wrong gender pronoun After Bill C-16 amended the Criminal Code, Canadian law prohibited hate propaganda against groups that can be identified based on gender identity or gender expression. The bill also allowed for more severe sentencing if it is proved that a particular offense was motivated by a bias or prejudice against a person's gender identity or gender expression. However, experts say misusing a pronoun would not constitute hate propaganda, nor can it be used as sole evidence of discrimination. "If it's just the pronoun, not much is going to happen," explained Cheryl Milne, director of the Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights at the University of Toronto told AFP. "It's absurd to think that people could be jailed for misusing a pronoun once." Cheryl Milne, director of the Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights at the University of Toronto The bill "governs particular kinds of relationships, like services such as renting a car, it's not about people on the streets and general behaviour," Milne added. Milne said the malicious misuse of a pronoun could be used to highlight a wider pattern of discrimination, but jailing someone is not a possible outcome for these type of lawsuits. The entity providing services could have to pay damages or send the concerned worker to sensitivity training, but not without other proof of discrimination. "It's a way to modify behaviour to prevent and stop discrimination but it’s not punitive legislation," said Cheryl Milne. The article also quotes a tweet by University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson, who at the time decried the bill as the start of "compelled speech" in Canada. Senate passes Bill C16 without amendment 67 for 11 against. Compelled speech has come to Canada. We will seriously regret this. - Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) 15 juin 2017 David Taylor, director of communications for the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada emphasized to AFP that "the amendments in C-16 did not eliminate gendered pronouns, such as 'she' and 'he', from the English or French languages." Taylor also said that he had no knowledge of any Canadian jailed or fined for using the wrong gender pronoun to date. A keyword search in Canadian legal databases did not show any cases of Canadians jailed for misusing gender pronouns. University of Toronto law professor Brenda Cossman said during a debate before the law passed: "There is nothing in Bill C-16 that criminalizes the misuse of pronouns. WHAT CONCLUSION CAN BE DRAWN: Bill C-16 does not allow for Canadian citizens to be jailed or fined simply for using the wrong gender pronoun when addressing a person. Bill C-16 could lead to an organization having to pay damages to a person, but only if proof of a wider pattern of discrimination can be established. Edit 28/06/18 - Adds quotation from Brenda Cossman, clarifies "just" in headline
@@wachyfanning what an incredibly stupid reply. Compelled speech is now the law in Canada. Anyone with half a brain realises how dangerous it is. Its as if you have no knowledge of the 20th century.
*Why wasn't someone like this my philosophy teacher in college?* My professors used a lot a words but didn't make any sense. Mr. Peterson though does make sense.
I believe Trump has his political illusions as well, which means he is not going to do much if he gets back into office and it will be undone when the other party comes back, as it has been going on for at least 5 presidents now.
I am glad that Professor Peterson is on the side of what is good, noble and just and l hope that he continues to have a great voice in our society and against Leftist Marxism.
Bron Jon as opposed to right-wing Marxism? Closest thing I can think of to that would be a Nazbol, and trust me, you don't want to meet those guys. Imagine listening to someone argue about owning your own tools to do work and wealth equality, and then pull a 180 by blaming everything on "Zionists."
@@kamrynm9780 Oh did the Nazbol Right wing Marxist' slaughter many multiple millions of people over a 100 year period? I don't know ! l don't care for Marxism as practiced by any who have tried. If you are a supporter of Marx because you like the nuance and purity which he states in his writings as opposed to the way it has been tried then don't blame me or Peterson. Marxism sucks in every regard, especially the way the Left in America seem to be enamored with and so in my opinion they are destroying an incredible system of government our founders established even with any so called flaws. America has been a force for good and my message to those that want to abandon that for a Leftist Marxist ideology are plain ridiculous. All l did in my statement above is provide a general post of support for Dr. Peterson and so far two folks decided to take offense because l mentioned Leftist Marxism. l don't support Marxism of any side, l would hope you rethink whatever support you have for that system, it is hideous. Peace !!
It’s depressing, how can these people laugh? They think Dr. Peterson is joking or being sarcastic? It’s so typical of them, to always diminish the reality. People simply can’t connect the points, it must be because we live in a superficial worlds that lacks common sense, I can never have a discussion like this because people simply can’t get a grasp on the severity of the issue we currently have at hand.
I regularly see people writing comments such as 'We need Jordan Peterson now more than ever' etc. And while I agree that JBP is a voice of reason and that it would be nice to have him back healthily in these chaotic times, I still have something to say for people who say such things: How about you develop your own voice and learn to speak your mind instead of depending on your idol to make the truth known? I too hope that Jordan Peterson gets well soon as he is a much beloved voice of reason. However, it is foolish to sit and do nothing in hopes that he will return to save us. An ideological war is being fought and the ideologues don't wait for Jordan to recover. Every day some of them are working to make their visions become reality. ‚Learn to read, learn to write, learn to think. It makes you a superpower’ ~ that's a paraphrase of something Jordan said in a lecture he gave in Harvard some time ago. Develop your voice. Become someone who can speak fourth their mind effectively and truthfully. Learn to negotiate with people, to debate, to play around with ideas and also to think critically. Educate yourself about the ideology (what you already did by watching this video for example). But don't only watch this video, look for other videos of the same person explaining it in a slightly different manner or for other people who speak about this topic as well. The more perspectives you get from articulate people that try to understand what is going on, the more you will (hopefully) understand what is happening yourself and THEN you can also adress these things verbally. Besides JBP, I personally recommend that you listen to Stephen Hicks, Jonathan Haidt, Bret Weinstein, Sam Harris, Yuri Benzemenov, John McWhorter, Glenn Loury, Coleman Hughes and read some Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, for example. JBP has a list of recommended books that I also would encourage you to check out, if you haven't yet. There are many, many more great thinkers that are worth reading/listening to and if you want to recommend any, you can gladly do so below this comment. It is not about agreeing with everything these people say obviously - it is about widening your horizon by getting to know many different perspectives. All this will help you to educate yourself and cultivate a more nuanced way of thinking and looking at/interacting with the world. Also listen to the 'opposition'. Get to know what the Marxist view point is, for example by listening to marxists like Richard Wolff or how and what Post Modernists think (Stephen Hicks talks a lot about the 'Communist' roots of Post Modernism). To have any chance to win this ideological war, one has to _understand the ideology at its core._ The better you understand the ideology, the better you can see its shortcomings. But please, don't fall for propaganda :'D Propaganda can exist for every ideology and through it, propagandists want to convince you that the ideology that they are promoting, is in fact the correct narrative on which to construct your world view. They will appeal to your emotions, speak in absolutes, use idealistic or hypothetical terms and present the world in a radically simplified way (ideologies usually don't take the full complexity of the world into account). The more you understand how ideologies and propaganda work, the more your mind will be protected from their pernicious influence. Then, when you have educated yourself and when you can articulate your thoughts properly, you can take on the ideology and ideologues yourself by pointing out its flaws (of which there are many) :). ps. I wrote this comment as a response to someone in the comment section, but hey, why not copy and post it here too, am I right? :P
@That What Is , Some people can and will do what you suggest, but many people do not have the opportunity, time, or funds, even if they wish to do so. Most won't even read a long comment like yours on Twitter. Try passing on a short & specific book reference instead.
@@JSB12345 You are right, many people probably aren't going to read such a lengthy comment. However the ones that do, will hopefully take what I said to heart and work on devoloping their own voice. I will take your constructive criticism into account and will try to compress my message so that it reaches more people in the future. Also, thanks for the book recommendation :).
they want hardship to be carried by JP instead of them. It is like I agree with what he says, but to suffer for telling the truth ? Too much, right ? Most folks are easily dissuaded from speaking up by applying pressure, like threatening them with being fired. I personally have been fired many times, to the point Im used to not be bothered by it. I tell the truth, am not dissuaded by false narratives, I get to the point. I dont play power games, Id like to do the work actually. A stream of projections comes at me, accusations, I explain and they explode always. They expect me to handle false accusations or me to bow to them, because they are a group lol. I destroy the groupthink, so they rage. Fired. Or a psychological terror campaign, who gets destroyed first. Propaganda is a means, it is how you deliver the important things in a message. You point to ideologies, flaws, nice, but try to exlain God. Did you meet him ? Did you get freed from addictions, like myself, get arm, liver healed ? During a prayer. God exists. Can you smell or touch him ? Spiritual things are explained spiritually, surely it does go in values and ideas. God is the God of Order not of violence. Try to sense without reason only. God is beyond your or my reason.
I agree with most of what I've heard Jordan Peterson say. I wish he'd hurry up and get well because the world needs him. There are so few men like him around anymore.
Jordan Peterson's example of why speech codes on campus was great! Anti-speech codes are such "non-sequitor" exposes of philosophical errors being promoted in the elitist academy. Campuses have become anti-idea, anti-knowlege bastions which will destroy any reason for their own continued existence unless the public sees the grotesque errors of philosophies built on hubris.
@Frenky's prod. Yesterday I saw a homeless dude begging for spare change, and I just looked down my nose at him because....ya know.... I'm thinking...how dare he ask me for money. He's just a homeless bum, but he also looked a lot like Jordan Peterson. So I gave him two Canadian pennies to rub together, and told him to get a job. Thinking back on that encounter now, after reading your comment, I bet that actually was JP himself. Please tell me more about JP's secret life as a bum. 🙄
@Frenky's prod. I was not asking you that, sorry. Thanks anyway for the attempted answer you wrote. I couldn't read all of it as it contains so many misspelled words, and other grammatical errors it made my brain hurt. I simply gave up after my third attempt. English must be your second language. It's all good. I get what you're saying, I think. You think JP kinda sucks, correct?
Peterson's example about speech codes on campus is helpful. The mix of ideological errors in trying to lift any narrative above another under a postmodern premise actually results in grotesque anti-speech tyranny and destruction of even the possibility of learning.
Also, I love the idea that the usual assholes who start looting whenever there is any kind of political action (something that doesn't tend to happen in the UK and most of Europe btw) are considered politically active. That genuinely cracks me up. I don't think you think that at all. It's just particularly useful.
what people do have in control except ... themselves ? Did you ever get to see the vote count yourself ? Im not american, sure, we are told things happened. Either right or wrong. You can influence things by praying like in Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen. When spiritually things are well, it is easy to have things go the right way. Without prayer, the devil has a field day in most peoples lives. That does not mean that you should pray the whole time and retreat somewhere etc :)
@@cdgncgn What utter poppycock.. yes "like our father who art..." Take away the COVID 19? No chance! Pray more...still no CHANGE.. Oh darn turn to SCIENCE and take the shots !!

The fact that the vote is split 50/50 consistently has nothing to do with how polarised the country is. The sides can still be 50/50 but drfiting further apart ideologically.
Society in the U.S.A. is not more polarized than it has been in the past. What we have in this day and age is social media. In the past your perception of the country was based on what you were able to read in the news papers, watched on television or heard by way of mouth. Never before in history has everyone with an opinion and a phone been able to blast those opinions across social media platforms in mere seconds. It is not that the country is more polarized now than then, it is just now you hear more about it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Narration was initially a form of catharthis, releasing of emotions (eg in terms of fight or flight, bliss or blame) triggered by identifying with archetypal relations and roles. To the extent that socio-economic approaches to justice tend to be based on underlying oppressor-victim complexes, generosity and consciousness rather than reciprocity provide the possibility of understanding the emotions and transcending such patterns to prevent further harm and suffering. Regarding the issue of consistency, beyond the question of whether free speech exists is the issue of Truth. In terms of consistently applied reason, for example, pure natural science may be the most evident case of the effectiveness of a consistently applied method of analysis. There are various approaches to logic and mathematics, such as fuzzy logic for example, which is not relative but continuous rather than discrete, allowing for finer distinctions and greater potential, and the nature of language may lead to seemingly paradoxical phenomena which abound in Nature. The diversity of human perspectives does not necessarily imply a lack of Reason, just as chaos does not imply a lack of higher order. Any pattern of reasoning consistently applied will eventually reveal its nature, ie its organizing principles. Free and principled (natural, ethical, ecological) self-organization is the basis of sustainable creative human life. More spiritual cultures reflect the bliss of being in harmony with planetary Life. To the extent that knowledge and wisdom are valid and resonate universally this is True.
one's narrative changes when your daily tasks revolves around bad news constantly, eventually you fail to see positives and scientism of society becomes the norm. everything becomes a lie, and society becomes pitiful. Moving from point A to point B evolves into nothing more than an illusion. The suffering however is real and breaking the cycle becomes near impossible unless you change your environment. Like his point regarding free speech.
AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS 2020 The United States was established as a nation under God by its founders, who asserted the notion that the rights of men come from God as stated in the Declaration of Independence. In that same document, the founding fathers said they were “firmly relying on the protection of Divine Providence.” They put themselves in covenant relation with Him and were able to defeat the greatest military power of their time. The nation that acknowledged God in its charters of freedom, in its sessions of Congress, in its early schools, and on its currency became the greatest nation in the history of civilization. This circumstance was no coincidence, since “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Ps. 33:12). Americans today, however, find themselves living in a time of great assault, both spiritually and ideologically. Major institutions have been affected, including the family, education, and the legal system. God-defiant men who hold to the delusion of evolution, sexual freedom, and a humanistic world utopia are making no small effort to remove the knowledge of God from American society. This movement, known as liberalism, has sought to extend the personal freedom of individuals beyond divine constraints and limitations. Furthermore, it aims to marginalize Christianity in order to create a dominant secular society in which there is no room for God and, therefore, no more conviction of sin hanging over their heads. This diabolical plan is calculated to rewrite American history and take the nation away from its godly heritage. To ensure these results, liberal change agents have targeted education in order to control the minds of the next generation. Countervailing the encroachments of liberalism are conservative patri- ots who intend to protect the founding principles and keep America a nation under God. Liberalism of the last few decades influenced by anti-God, man-exalting secular humanism, has become extremely antagonistic toward the things of God. Like the despotic dictators of the twentieth century, liberals opposed to truth and righteousness have refused to accept the lesson from history that rejecting God and His counsel in the Sacred Volume of Biblical Scripture leads to a culture of death with endless victims and tragedies. An example of this is seen in the notorious liberal policy of public child killing through abortion, which has extinguished the lives of over 50 million unborn children since 1973. These heinous crimes against God and humanity are the work of radical liberals who not only rejected the lessons of history, but also the sanctity of human life and the right to life guaranteed to all posterity by the founding fathers in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, and the Preamble to the Constitution. America, the land of the Great Eagle, is now a cultural and spiritual battleground where the forces of the dragon have marshaled themselves together to separate God from the state, bury traditional America and persecute the Christian Church. These events are some of the perils foreseen to occur during the generation that sees the cup of wickedness come to its full. Americans with a sense of duty to God and country are contending with liberalism in order to save the conscience of the nation and prevent it from prematurely ending up on the ash heap of history.
'the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 Signed by Thomas Jefferson
look further, US wasnt made by Godly people, it was those in rebellion. Why do you think they wanted to copy the pagan republic if not to transform to the empire ? That pyramid on the dollar is not any godly symbology. It is pagan, of the devil. When people making the US were devil worshippers, then the godhood they mention is the devil, who they worshipped as their godhood. The way rot spread was because protestants came up with personal way to explain the scripture = heresy, it then sprung up similar crap like liberalism.
The lady says "it has not to be sense". I say " if it is only for yourself it suit yourself. But can you imagine if our goverment govern without sense?". Is that a kind goverment we all want?
it makes sense to not make sense. They claim to be ignorant of what they want, snake worshippers. In a normal country, cospiracists like these would be hanging from a rope, because that is a coup aagainst ppl. However, it is a spiritual part to the story, that of good vs evil. And it is never pleasant. The wicked dont know they are going to hell. They dont believe that. Instead they want everyone to proclaim that they are the good guys. Insult and a lie.
Every civilisation on Earth has discovered its cultural identity through a shared set of stories. To give up on our narratives is to give up on every ounce of social order we have ever established. And he’s pointing out that, if we do that, there is only one place we can go: into the bottomless pit of negative emotion that is the default state for all living things. This is not only important: it’s the most important thing to talk about right now. So don’t try to project your wilful blindness as his incoherence
You have reached the stage of development that he reached as a teenager when he joined a socialist party. The difference is that he has since learned that socialism is really driven by hatred of the successful
@@IndianaJones-r5j it’s not hatred of the successful…it’s hatred of severe inequality! No one cares if you’re successful if people are all able to live dignified lives…but you have corporations cutting corners on things like energy infrastructure to save money and increase profits and then people freeze to death in the winter (like what happened in Texas) while the ceo and owners brag about how much money they made on their earnings calls. In our capitalist society, money is power and we have effectively created an untouchable class of billionaire elites that have way too much influence over our economy and government. Who cares if there’s billionaires if everyone has what they need to live healthy and dignified lives. It’s when there’s high levels of inequality that societies start to break down because struggling people see that there’s plenty to go around it’s just all being hoarded by an upper class who are somehow never held accountable for their actions. Inequality leads to social unrest and instability…every time!! Socialists don’t hate successful people, they hate the system that gives disproportionate power to successful people and leaves everyone else to fight for the scraps. Wealthy people pour money into politics to rig the system in their favor, crippling our democracy. Regular people have virtually no say in what policies get passed. Universal healthcare has close to 80% support nationally, but insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies have lobbied congress to the moon to make sure it never happens because it would hurt their bottom line. Then they create misinformation campaigns claiming universal healthcare would bankrupt the nation (which of course wouldn’t happen because we have a sovereign fiat currency) to try and sway public opinion. It’s amazing how easy it is to get someone to fight against their own best interests when you constantly beat them over the head with lies and misinformation. My point is capitalism is about maximizing profits regardless of what effect that has on human well-being. Socialists want to maximize human well-being, regardless of what effect that has on profits! Modern socialists are vilified because they are a very real threat to profit!
Nothing wrong with universal healthcare and worker rights. Most European countries have that. But that isn’t what he’s talking about at all. He’s talking about out the authoritarianism in the very recent part of the left that is hijacking the left and attacking free speech and free thought. Attacking the idea that we are individuals and not groups based on skin colour or whatever else. He’s talking about stuff like critical race theory that although maybe in the very short term it had some positive affects on Hollywood because it used to be a big problem that for example Asian actors couldn’t get too many roles. So there have legitimately been problems like that. But ultimately critical race theory does not take us to equality and does not abolish racism, in fact in many ways it makes sure racism stays and it even reintroduces racism back in a way that we haven’t seen in quite some time. This was one example of what Jordan is talking about here, and how there is no other acceptable solutions to problems nowadays except for one and if you have any questions, doesn’t matter if you agree on the goal. If you have any questions about the only accepted solutions, then you are instantly blacklisted and called right wing even if your values don’t align with the right. People have forgotten the definition of right and left. Jordan is mainly talking about how this kind of authoritarian ideology, really like a cult has taken over western society and threatens what made the west free and good in the first place. I’m pretty sure as a Canadian Jordan supports universal healthcare, it’s what he’s always had. The US is like the only western country that doesn’t have that. And that doesn’t mean that the rest are socialist countries. Here in Finland we have social democracy, elements of socialism that are good like the universal healthcare and free education. But it’s also a democracy and has capitalistic features as well. And that doesn’t make Finland socialist or communist. Over here we don’t romanticize socialism or communism because our neighbor was formerly the Soviet Union and for example my gf is from Poland which was occupied by Soviet Union and had to go through a communist era. We know too well first hand over here how terrible a full blown socialist society is. You suddenly can’t even get the basic medical care, hard to get food, hard to get by, you don’t have proper free speech. It’s very bizarre that this new authoritarian part of the left shames and tells us all that free speech is hate speech and it’s a right wing thing. No it’s not, that like a weird twisting of history that has only appeared in like the past I dunno 5-6 years. But free speech has always been a very liberal view. And western view in general, it’s the backbone of the west as a whole. Equality would never ever have advanced like it has in the west without it. Without free speech women would still not be able to vote. What do you see happening in countries where they have never had proper free speech? How are human rights there if we are honest? What is it like to be gay in many of those countries? This is what Jordan is talking about here and why at the end he said “this is far more dangerous and important that merely talking about normal politics “ . I’m paraphrasing. But the entire point is that the very foundation of the west is at risk now because of this recent ideology that is taking over. I’m on the left and I’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime. I’m 42. The left has never been authoritarian before in the west like this. When you talk to most people, they mostly think that this stuff is crazy. It’s a small but very loud new part of the left that has hijacked the left and is shaming the normal left into silence because everyone is terrified of losing their jobs. I now believe that it would be better if the left and the right could tolerate eachother more and not be so divided and sometimes work on issues together when they agree. Everything is too polarized now. So tribal. All these seperate teams. That’s what this is about and not about health or worker rights. Peace ✌️
@@IndianaJones-r5j Do you know many socialists? It’s not about hating successful people. The issue is rising inequality. The more unequal a society is, the more unstable it becomes. That doesn’t mean socialists want everyone to have the same things and wear grey jumpsuits and take from the rich and give to the poor. It means that there shouldn’t be things like CEOs of massive pharmaceutical giants making millions of dollars price gauging life saving medications like insulin when other nations provide their citizens with insulin FROM THE SAME FACTORY for $35. Who cares if you are successful. That’s not the problem. The problem is we have a socioeconomic system that incentivizes greed, selfishness, and corruption in the endless pursuit of profit with almost no consideration for human well-being! Free healthcare and successful people aren’t mutually exclusive so not sure what you or homie Peterson is talking about.
@@lassesuurmunne8340 didn’t read your entire comment, way too long so forgive me I missed something, but you absolutely CANNOT talk about authoritarianism on the American left without also condemning authoritarianism on the right. You are literally comparing apples to oranges. The right is running around banning books, banning speech, banning abortion, banning IVF, banning trans people from existing in public space or using the bathroom…seriously! You just can’t compare the two. There are no leftists (marxists, communists, socialists) in the house or senate or in any prominent positions of power, but right wing authoritarians hold power at the local level all the way up to the White House when trump was president. The right has FAR more power in this country than the left, has passed deeply unpopular authoritarian laws all over the country, has captured the Supreme Court, has stacked courts all over the country, meanwhile liberals (not the left) are posting cancel tweets online. Worlds apart. There is no mainstream left wing party or movement in this country.
You know what's the funny thing here thumnail says : "The Left's Oppressive Ideology " and the description says: :"Oppression of the Left Ideology". What really publisher wants to convey?
That’s why pseudo intellectuals love him. He is the philosophers version of an abstract art piece for people to interpret their own way and then label the artist as a genius
I applaud him for questioning how this problem interlaces and repeats itself on a historical level with a different narrative, polarising debates being the starting root to this problem, which then segregates a persons single thought and ostracises them from a collective. Its also because he researches extensively and learns how to dissect and understand the root of every controversial, problematic and conflicting issue we have in today’s society which he then offers suggestions of thought about what it may lead to in the future. This helps us critically analyse information and aids healthy discussion, which in turn could help us actually learn something NEW, if we learned to LISTEN. Which is the dream, for some. Unfortunately others are so deeply rooted in negative thought, and he mentions in one of his other debates that people who want the best for them should not try and fix other peoples problems until you have looked at the state of your own home, and it’s so true. It helps us realise that this leftist ideology is so toxic, and is such a deeper issue than we may think. Reductionist methods seem to have overtaken the world and limits us completely on critical thinking, skepticism, and even forming one’s sovereignty through discovering what the hell is going on from all sides of one topic, ESPECIALLY on ones health. Tribal groups used to overthrow and control how one thinks are dangerous and boycotting the rights of having ones opinion and freedom of speech. This will only end in war, and we are witnessing that happening right now, and mostly under our noses.
Jeez you psychos are always so bored with your lives and foaming at the mouth for a war. No sjw is gonna start a war, you think a pink haired overweight femin4zi is gonna take up arms? What makes it even more insulting is not only that you fantasize about a war, but also that you guys are always women or fat old guys, so you basically want young boys to fight each other on behalf of your own interests
While I think Jordan Peterson has alot of good things to say, his delivery is abysmal. Not sure why he's become so popular, because there are others saying the same, but much more concisely and clearly (and without Christian undercurrent, which although I'm a Christian, should not be used in logical argument). We don't necessarily need a transcendent goal. Too many words man.
1. Half of his point exist because of his group 2. Not all socialistic countries fail (what is with nearly all of Europe), in Somalia, Germany(after WW1), many african countries capitalism also failed 3. The point that Marxists only dream about an Utopia is false, many people in Norway, Denmark, Sweden would say, they life in litteraly heaven. All these countries have the highest equality on all levels. You might say "but the taxes are so high mimimi", but all thus gets spent in: -free transportation -school system -maintaining equality These countries still are rich and life in an real Utopia
I’m obsessed with this guys mind the first republican that I’ve come across that actually has evidence to back his points up. Thank god (liberal pushed to republican against her own will)
Funny thing is that Peterson isn't even republican, it's just that the left has become so cult like that they call anyone who doesn't agree with them "far right" ... I remember when Peterson was debating creationists ... He was seen as a liberal but today he's called right wing it's quite strange really
This was incredibly clear. Only thing is it only describes the problem… he Neither determines the correct question nor does he ask it. As a result he proposes no solutions… Only nihilism in the same manner that the post modernist French do
I am sure the vast majority of people rush to listen to an angry voice to learn the recipe for happiness. JP must have the recipe, otherwise he wouldn't be so mad, wouldn't use such big words he then have trouble putting together to form a coherent sentence. For a good example, see how he gets lost in thought and grammar in his last sentence starting at 7:50ish.
The most basic definition of patriarchy is male control of reproduction; matriarchy is female control of reproduction. Feminism advocates the equal rights of all women and men etc. Humanism promotes equal dignity and rights.
so you think suffering has no meaning ? That would be very miserable. If all I suffered not because of myself but because of others was meaningless, then that would be dumb. It does have meaning and those who never suffered are weaklings, because at a slightest discomfort they try to run away like cowards. Accepting even unjust suffering, without paying back the perpetrator ? Would that feel weak to you ? Sure, on a society level, crime needs punishment, on a personal level, in most circumstances it is a sign of great strength to not repay. Because you have most likely transcended the situation and see the person trying to destroy you as a poor misguided person not worth going low, who is going to be repaid by God anyway. You thus, do not need to execute justice by your hand. Without knowing God, I guess you would consider what I write to be madness. I do know God and that He is powerful. God also wants me to forgive those who trespass against me. This is how His forgiveness heals and saves even the perpetrator. Eksousia of Jesus.
@@cdgncgn No, I agree with him! I'm saying that his intellect towers ABOVE the likes of the bewilderingly celebrated Richard Dawkins who is essentially a nihilist and preaches an ideology in which suffering is meaningless. I agree with you. Suffering has profound meaning!
Marxism and postmodernism are not mutually exclusive with one another - not every Marxist is a postmodernist and not every postmodernist is a Marxist. Equating postmodernism with nihilism is just downright lazy and demonstrates an absence of familiarity to Foucault, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Deleuze, Derrida etc. Jordan Peterson is not a philosopher and his lack of familiarity with continental and postmodern philosophy has been especially telling over this past year.
..I daresay if you want to split hairs over an ideological premise, then you may. The broad brushstrokes of Peterson's observations, mark post modernism and Marxism as the essential components of a flawed approach, which can only be justified at the expense of destroyed lives and misery. Any justification to this end, is a sad reflection of just how far human thought has sunk in an attempt to rationalize suffering as a means of achieving enlightenment which is as elusive, as it is unpardonable.
Julius Schwencke Postmodernism and Marxism haven’t destroyed any lives. Stalinism, Maoism and Juche were not direct products of Karl Marx’s ideas, among which included state abolition and worker control over the means of production, none of which those regimes achieved.

Jordan Peterson is a hypocrite. He supports Pierre Poilievre, (new Canadian Con-servative leader) who voted in favour of Bill C-6, a so-called “conversion therapy” ban to advance LGBT ideology and butchery and criminalize anyone who objects. Entire families could go to jail for five years if they dare to affirm their gender-confused children in the biological bodies in which they were born!
Peterson is a hypocrite because he wrote and read those two Telegraph articles about Butchers and Liars in which he castigates physicians and psychiatrists who are in the child mutilation business but he supports Poilievre who, voted in favour of the Child Mutilation Pipeline Act. So Peterson endorses the politicians who make butchery legal and mandatory. Petersons is preaching morality and ethics whilst supporting the worst kind of crime and the worst kind of criminal.

factcheck.afp.com/no-canadians-cannot-be-jailed-or-fined-just-using-wrong-gender-pronoun
No, Canadians cannot be jailed or fined just for using the wrong gender pronoun
After Bill C-16 amended the Criminal Code, Canadian law prohibited hate propaganda against groups that can be identified based on gender identity or gender expression. The bill also allowed for more severe sentencing if it is proved that a particular offense was motivated by a bias or prejudice against a person's gender identity or gender expression.
However, experts say misusing a pronoun would not constitute hate propaganda, nor can it be used as sole evidence of discrimination.
"If it's just the pronoun, not much is going to happen," explained Cheryl Milne, director of the Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights at the University of Toronto told AFP.
"It's absurd to think that people could be jailed for misusing a pronoun once."
Cheryl Milne, director of the Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights at the University of Toronto
The bill "governs particular kinds of relationships, like services such as renting a car, it's not about people on the streets and general behaviour," Milne added.
Milne said the malicious misuse of a pronoun could be used to highlight a wider pattern of discrimination, but jailing someone is not a possible outcome for these type of lawsuits. The entity providing services could have to pay damages or send the concerned worker to sensitivity training, but not without other proof of discrimination.
"It's a way to modify behaviour to prevent and stop discrimination but it’s not punitive legislation," said Cheryl Milne.
The article also quotes a tweet by University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson, who at the time decried the bill as the start of "compelled speech" in Canada.
Senate passes Bill C16 without amendment 67 for 11 against. Compelled speech has come to Canada. We will seriously regret this.
- Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson)
15 juin 2017
David Taylor, director of communications for the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada emphasized to AFP that "the amendments in C-16 did not eliminate gendered pronouns, such as 'she' and 'he', from the English or French languages."
Taylor also said that he had no knowledge of any Canadian jailed or fined for using the wrong gender pronoun to date.
A keyword search in Canadian legal databases did not show any cases of Canadians jailed for misusing gender pronouns.
University of Toronto law professor Brenda Cossman said during a debate before the law passed: "There is nothing in Bill C-16 that criminalizes the misuse of pronouns.
WHAT CONCLUSION CAN BE DRAWN:
Bill C-16 does not allow for Canadian citizens to be jailed or fined simply for using the wrong gender pronoun when addressing a person.
Bill C-16 could lead to an organization having to pay damages to a person, but only if proof of a wider pattern of discrimination can be established.

Marxism sucks in every regard, especially the way the Left in America seem to be enamored with and so in my opinion they are destroying an incredible system of government our founders established even with any so called flaws. America has been a force for good and my message to those that want to abandon that for a Leftist Marxist ideology are plain ridiculous. All l did in my statement above is provide a general post of support for Dr. Peterson and so far two folks decided to take offense because l mentioned Leftist Marxism. l don't support Marxism of any side, l would hope you rethink whatever support you have for that system, it is hideous.

I regularly see people writing comments such as 'We need Jordan Peterson now more than ever' etc. And while I agree that JBP is a voice of reason and that it would be nice to have him back healthily in these chaotic times, I still have something to say for people who say such things:
How about you develop your own voice and learn to speak your mind instead of depending on your idol to make the truth known?
I too hope that Jordan Peterson gets well soon as he is a much beloved voice of reason. However, it is foolish to sit and do nothing in hopes that he will return to save us. An ideological war is being fought and the ideologues don't wait for Jordan to recover. Every day some of them are working to make their visions become reality.
‚Learn to read, learn to write, learn to think. It makes you a superpower’ ~ that's a paraphrase of something Jordan said in a lecture he gave in Harvard some time ago. Develop your voice. Become someone who can speak fourth their mind effectively and truthfully. Learn to negotiate with people, to debate, to play around with ideas and also to think critically.
Educate yourself about the ideology (what you already did by watching this video for example). But don't only watch this video, look for other videos of the same person explaining it in a slightly different manner or for other people who speak about this topic as well. The more perspectives you get from articulate people that try to understand what is going on, the more you will (hopefully) understand what is happening yourself and THEN you can also adress these things verbally.
Besides JBP, I personally recommend that you listen to Stephen Hicks, Jonathan Haidt, Bret Weinstein, Sam Harris, Yuri Benzemenov, John McWhorter, Glenn Loury, Coleman Hughes and read some Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, for example. JBP has a list of recommended books that I also would encourage you to check out, if you haven't yet. There are many, many more great thinkers that are worth reading/listening to and if you want to recommend any, you can gladly do so below this comment.
It is not about agreeing with everything these people say obviously - it is about widening your horizon by getting to know many different perspectives. All this will help you to educate yourself and cultivate a more nuanced way of thinking and looking at/interacting with the world.
Also listen to the 'opposition'. Get to know what the Marxist view point is, for example by listening to marxists like Richard Wolff or how and what Post Modernists think (Stephen Hicks talks a lot about the 'Communist' roots of Post Modernism). To have any chance to win this ideological war, one has to _understand the ideology at its core._ The better you understand the ideology, the better you can see its shortcomings.
But please, don't fall for propaganda :'D Propaganda can exist for every ideology and through it, propagandists want to convince you that the ideology that they are promoting, is in fact the correct narrative on which to construct your world view. They will appeal to your emotions, speak in absolutes, use idealistic or hypothetical terms and present the world in a radically simplified way (ideologies usually don't take the full complexity of the world into account). The more you understand how ideologies and propaganda work, the more your mind will be protected from their pernicious influence.
Then, when you have educated yourself and when you can articulate your thoughts properly, you can take on the ideology and ideologues yourself by pointing out its flaws (of which there are many) :).
ps. I wrote this comment as a response to someone in the comment section, but hey, why not copy and post it here too, am I right? :P

@@JSB12345 You are right, many people probably aren't going to read such a lengthy comment. However the ones that do, will hopefully take what I said to heart and work on devoloping their own voice. I will take your constructive criticism into account and will try to compress my message so that it reaches more people in the future. Also, thanks for the book recommendation :).
they want hardship to be carried by JP instead of them. It is like I agree with what he says, but to suffer for telling the truth ? Too much, right ? Most folks are easily dissuaded from speaking up by applying pressure, like threatening them with being fired. I personally have been fired many times, to the point Im used to not be bothered by it. I tell the truth, am not dissuaded by false narratives, I get to the point. I dont play power games, Id like to do the work actually. A stream of projections comes at me, accusations, I explain and they explode always. They expect me to handle false accusations or me to bow to them, because they are a group lol. I destroy the groupthink, so they rage. Fired. Or a psychological terror campaign, who gets destroyed first. Propaganda is a means, it is how you deliver the important things in a message. You point to ideologies, flaws, nice, but try to exlain God. Did you meet him ? Did you get freed from addictions, like myself, get arm, liver healed ? During a prayer. God exists. Can you smell or touch him ? Spiritual things are explained spiritually, surely it does go in values and ideas. God is the God of Order not of violence. Try to sense without reason only. God is beyond your or my reason.

I agree with most of what I've heard Jordan Peterson say. I wish he'd hurry up and get well because the world needs him. There are so few men like him around anymore.
Jordan Peterson's example of why speech codes on campus was great! Anti-speech codes are such "non-sequitor" exposes of philosophical errors being promoted in the elitist academy. Campuses have become anti-idea, anti-knowlege bastions which will destroy any reason for their own continued existence unless the public sees the grotesque errors of philosophies built on hubris.

@Frenky's prod. Yesterday I saw a homeless dude begging for spare change, and I just looked down my nose at him because....ya know.... I'm thinking...how dare he ask me for money. He's just a homeless bum, but he also looked a lot like Jordan Peterson. So I gave him two Canadian pennies to rub together, and told him to get a job. Thinking back on that encounter now, after reading your comment, I bet that actually was JP himself. Please tell me more about JP's secret life as a bum. 🙄
@Frenky's prod. I was not asking you that, sorry. Thanks anyway for the attempted answer you wrote.

It's all good. I get what you're saying, I think. You think JP kinda sucks, correct?
Peterson's example about speech codes on campus is helpful. The mix of ideological errors in trying to lift any narrative above another under a postmodern premise actually results in grotesque anti-speech tyranny and destruction of even the possibility of learning.

Society in the U.S.A. is not more polarized than it has been in the past. What we have in this day and age is social media. In the past your perception of the country was based on what you were able to read in the news papers, watched on television or heard by way of mouth. Never before in history has everyone with an opinion and a phone been able to blast those opinions across social media platforms in mere seconds. It is not that the country is more polarized now than then, it is just now you hear more about it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Narration was initially a form of catharthis, releasing of emotions (eg in terms of fight or flight, bliss or blame) triggered by identifying with archetypal relations and roles. To the extent that socio-economic approaches to justice tend to be based on underlying oppressor-victim complexes, generosity and consciousness rather than reciprocity provide the possibility of understanding the emotions and transcending such patterns to prevent further harm and suffering.
Regarding the issue of consistency, beyond the question of whether free speech exists is the issue of Truth. In terms of consistently applied reason, for example, pure natural science may be the most evident case of the effectiveness of a consistently applied method of analysis. There are various approaches to logic and mathematics, such as fuzzy logic for example, which is not relative but continuous rather than discrete, allowing for finer distinctions and greater potential, and the nature of language may lead to seemingly paradoxical phenomena which abound in Nature. The diversity of human perspectives does not necessarily imply a lack of Reason, just as chaos does not imply a lack of higher order. Any pattern of reasoning consistently applied will eventually reveal its nature, ie its organizing principles. Free and principled (natural, ethical, ecological) self-organization is the basis of sustainable creative human life. More spiritual cultures reflect the bliss of being in harmony with planetary Life. To the extent that knowledge and wisdom are valid and resonate universally this is True.
one's narrative changes when your daily tasks revolves around bad news constantly, eventually you fail to see positives and scientism of society becomes the norm. everything becomes a lie, and society becomes pitiful. Moving from point A to point B evolves into nothing more than an illusion. The suffering however is real and breaking the cycle becomes near impossible unless you change your environment. Like his point regarding free speech.
EXACTLY ... It is very serious .. It's dividing families ...
But sometimes you have to divide to become even closer later. Like dividing some gears to unstuck them.
Lol @ at all the Peterson fan boys that time has proved wrong
AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS 2020
The United States was established as a nation under God by its founders, who asserted the notion that the rights of men come from God as stated in the Declaration of Independence. In that same document, the founding fathers said they were “firmly relying on the protection of Divine Providence.” They put themselves in covenant relation with Him and were able to defeat the greatest military power of their time.
The nation that acknowledged God in its charters of freedom, in its sessions of Congress, in its early schools, and on its currency became the greatest nation in the history of civilization. This circumstance was no coincidence, since “blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Ps. 33:12).
Americans today, however, find themselves living in a time of great assault, both spiritually and ideologically. Major institutions have been affected, including the family, education, and the legal system. God-defiant men who hold to the delusion of evolution, sexual freedom, and
a humanistic world utopia are making no small effort to remove the knowledge of God from American society.
This movement, known as liberalism, has sought to extend the personal freedom of individuals beyond divine constraints and limitations. Furthermore, it aims to marginalize Christianity in order to create a dominant secular society in which there is no room for God and, therefore, no more conviction of sin hanging over their heads.
This diabolical plan is calculated to rewrite American history and take the nation away from its godly heritage. To ensure these results, liberal change agents have targeted education in order to control the minds of the next generation.
Countervailing the encroachments of liberalism are conservative patri-
ots who intend to protect the founding principles and keep America a nation under God. Liberalism of the last few decades influenced by anti-God, man-exalting secular humanism, has become extremely antagonistic toward the things of God.
Like the despotic dictators of the twentieth century, liberals opposed to truth and righteousness have refused to accept the lesson from history that rejecting God and His counsel in the Sacred Volume of Biblical
Scripture leads to a culture of death with endless victims and tragedies. An example of this is seen in the notorious liberal policy of public child killing through abortion, which has extinguished the lives of over 50 million unborn children since 1973.
These heinous crimes against God and humanity are the work of radical liberals who not only rejected the lessons of history, but also the sanctity of human life and the right to life guaranteed to all posterity by the founding fathers in the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, and the Preamble to the Constitution. America, the land of the Great Eagle, is now a cultural and spiritual battleground where the forces of the dragon have marshaled themselves together to
separate God from the state, bury traditional America and persecute the Christian Church.
These events are some of the perils foreseen to occur during the generation that sees the cup of wickedness come to its full. Americans with a sense of duty to God and country are contending with liberalism in order to save the conscience of the nation and prevent it from prematurely ending up on the ash heap of history.
Ed Aguirre - We are already seeing signs of God turning his face away from America. I pray that it is not too late to save this great nation.

When people making the US were devil worshippers, then the godhood they mention is the devil, who they worshipped as their godhood. The way rot spread was because protestants came up with personal way to explain the scripture = heresy, it then sprung up similar crap like liberalism.
Jordan Peterson is officially the Humankind savior
Only Jesus Christ Is the Savior. Peterson is just a man
The lady says "it has not to be sense". I say " if it is only for yourself it suit yourself. But can you imagine if our goverment govern without sense?". Is that a kind goverment we all want?
it makes sense to not make sense. They claim to be ignorant of what they want, snake worshippers. In a normal country, cospiracists like these would be hanging from a rope, because that is a coup aagainst ppl. However, it is a spiritual part to the story, that of good vs evil. And it is never pleasant. The wicked dont know they are going to hell. They dont believe that. Instead they want everyone to proclaim that they are the good guys. Insult and a lie.
This man gives me faith in human beings
Oh you of little faith!!!
Every civilisation on Earth has discovered its cultural identity through a shared set of stories. To give up on our narratives is to give up on every ounce of social order we have ever established. And he’s pointing out that, if we do that, there is only one place we can go: into the bottomless pit of negative emotion that is the default state for all living things. This is not only important: it’s the most important thing to talk about right now. So don’t try to project your wilful blindness as his incoherence
Does anyone know who the interviewer is?
Yes, the horror of free healthcare and increased worker rights!
You have reached the stage of development that he reached as a teenager when he joined a socialist party. The difference is that he has since learned that socialism is really driven by hatred of the successful
@@IndianaJones-r5j it’s not hatred of the successful…it’s hatred of severe inequality! No one cares if you’re successful if people are all able to live dignified lives…but you have corporations cutting corners on things like energy infrastructure to save money and increase profits and then people freeze to death in the winter (like what happened in Texas) while the ceo and owners brag about how much money they made on their earnings calls. In our capitalist society, money is power and we have effectively created an untouchable class of billionaire elites that have way too much influence over our economy and government. Who cares if there’s billionaires if everyone has what they need to live healthy and dignified lives. It’s when there’s high levels of inequality that societies start to break down because struggling people see that there’s plenty to go around it’s just all being hoarded by an upper class who are somehow never held accountable for their actions. Inequality leads to social unrest and instability…every time!!
Socialists don’t hate successful people, they hate the system that gives disproportionate power to successful people and leaves everyone else to fight for the scraps. Wealthy people pour money into politics to rig the system in their favor, crippling our democracy. Regular people have virtually no say in what policies get passed. Universal healthcare has close to 80% support nationally, but insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies have lobbied congress to the moon to make sure it never happens because it would hurt their bottom line. Then they create misinformation campaigns claiming universal healthcare would bankrupt the nation (which of course wouldn’t happen because we have a sovereign fiat currency) to try and sway public opinion. It’s amazing how easy it is to get someone to fight against their own best interests when you constantly beat them over the head with lies and misinformation.
My point is capitalism is about maximizing profits regardless of what effect that has on human well-being. Socialists want to maximize human well-being, regardless of what effect that has on profits!
Modern socialists are vilified because they are a very real threat to profit!
Nothing wrong with universal healthcare and worker rights. Most European countries have that. But that isn’t what he’s talking about at all. He’s talking about out the authoritarianism in the very recent part of the left that is hijacking the left and attacking free speech and free thought. Attacking the idea that we are individuals and not groups based on skin colour or whatever else. He’s talking about stuff like critical race theory that although maybe in the very short term it had some positive affects on Hollywood because it used to be a big problem that for example Asian actors couldn’t get too many roles. So there have legitimately been problems like that. But ultimately critical race theory does not take us to equality and does not abolish racism, in fact in many ways it makes sure racism stays and it even reintroduces racism back in a way that we haven’t seen in quite some time. This was one example of what Jordan is talking about here, and how there is no other acceptable solutions to problems nowadays except for one and if you have any questions, doesn’t matter if you agree on the goal. If you have any questions about the only accepted solutions, then you are instantly blacklisted and called right wing even if your values don’t align with the right. People have forgotten the definition of right and left. Jordan is mainly talking about how this kind of authoritarian ideology, really like a cult has taken over western society and threatens what made the west free and good in the first place. I’m pretty sure as a Canadian Jordan supports universal healthcare, it’s what he’s always had. The US is like the only western country that doesn’t have that. And that doesn’t mean that the rest are socialist countries. Here in Finland we have social democracy, elements of socialism that are good like the universal healthcare and free education. But it’s also a democracy and has capitalistic features as well. And that doesn’t make Finland socialist or communist. Over here we don’t romanticize socialism or communism because our neighbor was formerly the Soviet Union and for example my gf is from Poland which was occupied by Soviet Union and had to go through a communist era. We know too well first hand over here how terrible a full blown socialist society is. You suddenly can’t even get the basic medical care, hard to get food, hard to get by, you don’t have proper free speech. It’s very bizarre that this new authoritarian part of the left shames and tells us all that free speech is hate speech and it’s a right wing thing. No it’s not, that like a weird twisting of history that has only appeared in like the past I dunno 5-6 years. But free speech has always been a very liberal view. And western view in general, it’s the backbone of the west as a whole. Equality would never ever have advanced like it has in the west without it. Without free speech women would still not be able to vote. What do you see happening in countries where they have never had proper free speech? How are human rights there if we are honest? What is it like to be gay in many of those countries? This is what Jordan is talking about here and why at the end he said “this is far more dangerous and important that merely talking about normal politics “ . I’m paraphrasing. But the entire point is that the very foundation of the west is at risk now because of this recent ideology that is taking over. I’m on the left and I’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime. I’m 42. The left has never been authoritarian before in the west like this. When you talk to most people, they mostly think that this stuff is crazy. It’s a small but very loud new part of the left that has hijacked the left and is shaming the normal left into silence because everyone is terrified of losing their jobs. I now believe that it would be better if the left and the right could tolerate eachother more and not be so divided and sometimes work on issues together when they agree. Everything is too polarized now. So tribal. All these seperate teams. That’s what this is about and not about health or worker rights. Peace ✌️
@@IndianaJones-r5j Do you know many socialists? It’s not about hating successful people. The issue is rising inequality. The more unequal a society is, the more unstable it becomes. That doesn’t mean socialists want everyone to have the same things and wear grey jumpsuits and take from the rich and give to the poor. It means that there shouldn’t be things like CEOs of massive pharmaceutical giants making millions of dollars price gauging life saving medications like insulin when other nations provide their citizens with insulin FROM THE SAME FACTORY for $35. Who cares if you are successful. That’s not the problem. The problem is we have a socioeconomic system that incentivizes greed, selfishness, and corruption in the endless pursuit of profit with almost no consideration for human well-being! Free healthcare and successful people aren’t mutually exclusive so not sure what you or homie Peterson is talking about.
@@lassesuurmunne8340 didn’t read your entire comment, way too long so forgive me I missed something, but you absolutely CANNOT talk about authoritarianism on the American left without also condemning authoritarianism on the right. You are literally comparing apples to oranges. The right is running around banning books, banning speech, banning abortion, banning IVF, banning trans people from existing in public space or using the bathroom…seriously! You just can’t compare the two. There are no leftists (marxists, communists, socialists) in the house or senate or in any prominent positions of power, but right wing authoritarians hold power at the local level all the way up to the White House when trump was president. The right has FAR more power in this country than the left, has passed deeply unpopular authoritarian laws all over the country, has captured the Supreme Court, has stacked courts all over the country, meanwhile liberals (not the left) are posting cancel tweets online. Worlds apart. There is no mainstream left wing party or movement in this country.
This guy ruined my whole life and I blame capitalism because no one gives me attention and I want to be some one in this society 😭😭😭😭
She had NO IDEA what he was saying either. Look at her face throughout the video. She's as confused as the rest of us.
You know what's the funny thing here thumnail says : "The Left's Oppressive Ideology " and the description says: :"Oppression of the Left Ideology".
What really publisher wants to convey?
Left-wing ideology is oppressive and very bad for you.
Understood everything, but what was the POINT?
I think I kind of understand what he’s trying to say? but there’s a little too much jargon in there to be certain... interesting tho
That’s why pseudo intellectuals love him. He is the philosophers version of an abstract art piece for people to interpret their own way and then label the artist as a genius
Can we get new vids always irritates me getting new old vids. It's fine I understand not everyone has but all the same.
I applaud him for questioning how this problem interlaces and repeats itself on a historical level with a different narrative, polarising debates being the starting root to this problem, which then segregates a persons single thought and ostracises them from a collective. Its also because he researches extensively and learns how to dissect and understand the root of every controversial, problematic and conflicting issue we have in today’s society which he then offers suggestions of thought about what it may lead to in the future.
This helps us critically analyse information and aids healthy discussion, which in turn could help us actually learn something NEW, if we learned to LISTEN. Which is the dream, for some. Unfortunately others are so deeply rooted in negative thought, and he mentions in one of his other debates that people who want the best for them should not try and fix other peoples problems until you have looked at the state of your own home, and it’s so true.
It helps us realise that this leftist ideology is so toxic, and is such a deeper issue than we may think. Reductionist methods seem to have overtaken the world and limits us completely on critical thinking, skepticism, and even forming one’s sovereignty through discovering what the hell is going on from all sides of one topic, ESPECIALLY on ones health. Tribal groups used to overthrow and control how one thinks are dangerous and boycotting the rights of having ones opinion and freedom of speech. This will only end in war, and we are witnessing that happening right now, and mostly under our noses.
Jeez you psychos are always so bored with your lives and foaming at the mouth for a war. No sjw is gonna start a war, you think a pink haired overweight femin4zi is gonna take up arms?
What makes it even more insulting is not only that you fantasize about a war, but also that you guys are always women or fat old guys, so you basically want young boys to fight each other on behalf of your own interests
His concrete analysis, of his acquired, accurate , empirical data, slots into the apostle Paul's epistle's beautifully. Grace and peace.
While I think Jordan Peterson has alot of good things to say, his delivery is abysmal. Not sure why he's become so popular, because there are others saying the same, but much more concisely and clearly (and without Christian undercurrent, which although I'm a Christian, should not be used in logical argument). We don't necessarily need a transcendent goal. Too many words man.
*The signs of a confidence man.*
Why I force them to define the words they use, or I define them myself.
He's speaking garbage.
1. Half of his point exist because of his group
2. Not all socialistic countries fail (what is with nearly all of Europe), in Somalia, Germany(after WW1), many african countries capitalism also failed
3. The point that Marxists only dream about an Utopia is false, many people in Norway, Denmark, Sweden would say, they life in litteraly heaven. All these countries have the highest equality on all levels. You might say "but the taxes are so high mimimi", but all thus gets spent in:
-free transportation
-school system
-maintaining equality
These countries still are rich and life in an real Utopia
Skeptical of metanarritives

I’m obsessed with this guys mind the first republican that I’ve come across that actually has evidence to back his points up. Thank god (liberal pushed to republican against her own will)
sounds like you've never heard of Ben Shapiro.
Funny thing is that Peterson isn't even republican, it's just that the left has become so cult like that they call anyone who doesn't agree with them "far right" ...
I remember when Peterson was debating creationists ... He was seen as a liberal but today he's called right wing it's quite strange really
Why did Ryan get the only “bell heart”
That’s not fair..
This was incredibly clear. Only thing is it only describes the problem… he Neither determines the correct question nor does he ask it.

JP must have the recipe, otherwise he wouldn't be so mad, wouldn't use such big words he then have trouble putting together to form a coherent sentence. For a good example, see how he gets lost in thought and grammar in his last sentence starting at 7:50ish.
This is not communicating eternal truths, this is spewing Fox news without the refreshing commercial breaks.
The most basic definition of patriarchy is male control of reproduction; matriarchy is female control of reproduction. Feminism advocates the equal rights of all women and men etc. Humanism promotes equal dignity and rights.

It's not free speech if ur trying too force a crazy idealist opinion on someone that has no grounds in reality..common sense..or defies factual data😉
"suffering is a form of meaning..." This guy makes the likes of Richard Dawkins look like a pygmy.
so you think suffering has no meaning ? That would be very miserable. If all I suffered not because of myself but because of others was meaningless, then that would be dumb. It does have meaning and those who never suffered are weaklings, because at a slightest discomfort they try to run away like cowards. Accepting even unjust suffering, without paying back the perpetrator ? Would that feel weak to you ? Sure, on a society level, crime needs punishment, on a personal level, in most circumstances it is a sign of great strength to not repay. Because you have most likely transcended the situation and see the person trying to destroy you as a poor misguided person not worth going low, who is going to be repaid by God anyway. You thus, do not need to execute justice by your hand. Without knowing God, I guess you would consider what I write to be madness. I do know God and that He is powerful. God also wants me to forgive those who trespass against me. This is how His forgiveness heals and saves even the perpetrator. Eksousia of Jesus.
@@cdgncgn No, I agree with him! I'm saying that his intellect towers ABOVE the likes of the bewilderingly celebrated Richard Dawkins who is essentially a nihilist and preaches an ideology in which suffering is meaningless. I agree with you. Suffering has profound meaning!
Somebody tell him that Marx was a modernist and 'postmodern neomarxist' is a collection of incoherent buzzwords.

Marxism and postmodernism are not mutually exclusive with one another - not every Marxist is a postmodernist and not every postmodernist is a Marxist. Equating postmodernism with nihilism is just downright lazy and demonstrates an absence of familiarity to Foucault, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Deleuze, Derrida etc. Jordan Peterson is not a philosopher and his lack of familiarity with continental and postmodern philosophy has been especially telling over this past year.
..I daresay if you want to split hairs over an ideological premise, then you may. The broad brushstrokes of Peterson's observations, mark post modernism and Marxism as the essential components of a flawed approach, which can only be justified at the expense of destroyed lives and misery. Any justification to this end, is a sad reflection of just how far human thought has sunk in an attempt to rationalize suffering as a means of achieving enlightenment which is as elusive, as it is unpardonable.
Julius Schwencke Postmodernism and Marxism haven’t destroyed any lives. Stalinism, Maoism and Juche were not direct products of Karl Marx’s ideas, among which included state abolition and worker control over the means of production, none of which those regimes achieved.

A false naritive is false by intupertation not by Revelations and not by testimony of that revelation!
What have I just said? The bases of Peter's confession reveled by God not flesh and blood interpretation.
The Revelation to the indavidual by God the spirit who Jesus is, is freedom from false naritives of multiple person word chain Intupertations of flesh and blood man..! And it's the rock solid foundation of the kingdom of God Church on earth as it is in heaven quantum entanglement..!

Typical Peterson....you ask a question, he starts with partial facts, creates a story that is suppose to be an analogy, which is all over the place and ends with some philosophical advice. He never answered the question but everyone thinks he did but still do not know when or what it was, but seemed fulfilled with his ongoing philosophies. He makes too many assumptions to be practical.
