  • This video offers a critique of Peterson's viewpoints and his misrepresentations of evolutionary psychology which he uses to justify his hierarchical and traditionalist perspectives for the satisfaction of his audiences. Additionally, I provide a brief explanation of the basic concepts that form the basis of evolutionary psychology. This background information will equip viewers with a foundational understanding of the fascinating field of evolutionary psychology.

    This reminds me of a chiropractor on RUclips who continues to posts videos giving advice on internal medicine, skin care, eye health, mental health, etc as if he were an actual MD/PhD. People think if someone is called “doctor” they know everything (like the Professor on Gilligan’s Island) and it just isn’t true. Chiropractors need to stick to their field of expertise just as JP does. It’s a scary world out there.

Just saying that he does not give the plain explanations based on evolutionary biology that you say he does.

    Do you publish in the area of evolutionary psychology? If not, your commentary here is also "outside your areas of expertise". Your having "ventured into the realm of evolutionary psychology" to counter Peterson would seem to put you in the same position as him. You would in all likelihood lack the nuanced understanding necessary to actually refute him. You should find a researcher to judge Peterson's positions, keeping in mind that his statements may sometimes be trying to note how things are, while not necessarily proclaiming that they should be that way. Claiming that things are a certain way and they won't ever change is not the same as endorsing them.

      Well said. Exactly what I got from this video. I think the author is on a right track so to speak however it seems he contradicts himself by basically doing to Peterson what he claims Peterson is doing with evolutionary psychology. It felt more like a personal opinion about straw man statements Peterson makes and misinterpretation of Petersons actual meaning behind his words. But until the author can ask Peterson directly. We will never know. Interesting opinion however.

    is his voice pitched down at 11:00 ? anyways, most people who disliked this video are on the other "team". they can't tell the difference between this video and someone who hates JBP just because he's a straight white male. peterson's obviously an intelligent guy, and charismatic in his own way. but how can you deny he talks out of his ass sometimes, and has some con-man-like traits.
    people understand that they themselves are complex and varied, but refuse to recognise that the same is true of other people as well. the way identity is represented on internet/social media has SERIOUSLY messed with the way we perceive other peoples and groups. media literacy isn't considered an important subject in schools or elsewhere, and that's a really bad thing.

      The problem is, most of these quotes if not all are taken way out of context. He is talking about teenagers saying they're worried about the environment, which is essentially everything. He then goes on to say maybe you should worry about your own shit instead of pretending to understand or be able to influence something as complex as the entire environment, when you still live with your parents, which is a perfectly solid argument.
      He then goes on to say that once you are competent enough and have sorted out your own life, you can then broaden your scope into bigger things (this is advice for people who are depressed and worried about things they cannot control.)

    You’re doing the same thing you’re accusing him of doing. You’re taking his argument and stripping it of all implied or contextual nuance and then saying, see his argument is overly simplistic. There are interesting and effective rebuttals of what Peterson actually believes, but none of them are in this video.

    I hold a different perspective from yours. In today's dating scene, it seems that women are attracted to men who outperform them. Contrary to your viewpoint, I believe that many women prioritize their careers over starting a family. If you were to ask women about the ideal age for marriage, most women might mention their late 20s or early 30s. However, it's worth noting that many might lack awareness regarding their peak fertility age. Similarly, if you were to ask women about the cost and effectiveness of in vitro fertilization, most of them would have no clue, and you think that most women are truly cautious and deliberate about their decision to not have children?

    No big fan of Dr. Peterson, but painting him as narrow minded and uninformed is clearly a personal bias based on outdated info. A) Peterson talks about stuff he is not credentialed to talk about, yet now has a successful podcast of him talking with subject matter experts for his audience's benefit. B) Peterson believes we are trapped in our biology, then shows clip of Peterson easily agreeing with the impact of cultural influences on our behavior. No need to watch further than that.

    Oh my dude... When Peterson is speaking about heirarchies, he's explaining the phenomenon as an "is", not an "ought", meaning that it's just what happens - not how he wants it to be. You pointing out Besos, Gates and Musk is an example of the pareto principle which is a natural phenomenon... If you put in an honest effort here, I think you would have come across him explaining paretos. You should really put in a solid attempt to first understand POVs you disagree with so you can properly critique them rather than poll your subs to see how they feel about a figure before trying to appease the majority with a weak attempt.

      Thanks for your thoughtful response. I always enjoy reading your comments because I feel you make excellent points that challenge my reasoning.
      Regarding the use of Bezos, Gates, and Musk as examples, I aimed to illustrate extreme concentrations of wealth and power within our current societal structures. As for Peterson, he supports Musk, oil corporations, and patriarchal social structures (mentioned in the Skavlan interview). This information can help you determine whether he is merely commenting on what "is" or endorsing the status quo. He frequently advocates for capitalist systems in interviews, but I assume you are already familiar with this.
      However, I do disagree with your statement on the Pareto principle being a natural phenomenon in economics, as there is plenty of literature suggesting otherwise. It's crucial to understand that societies can mitigate these effects, as resource distribution is a result of human-made systems and policies. If the effects of the Pareto Principle are undesirable, we have both the ability and democratic duty to change these outcomes.

      @@InhumanformThanks for the response. Can you estimate how much time you spent listening to Peterson's material? I have listened to numerous lectures of his over years and am confident you are misrepresenting his views. He has clearly indicated (in several lectures/interviews) he doesn't "like" capitalism, but feels it's the best option we have found thus far because artificially manipulating things to achieve a certain outcome has proven to do more harm than good, citing multiple examples throughout history of why things like communism, socialism, totalitarianism, fascism has garnered death tolls in the millions - all the result of someone who thinks they know how to "solve" something artificially rather than letting things fall out naturally.
      The Pareto principle actually occurs in nature itself, it's not just an economic principle, whether you disagree or not. Your own comments about it here seem to indicate that it's real but should be manipulated? 🤷‍♀️
      Again, misrepresenting arguments you haven't taken the time to fully understand is disingenuous. You should understand them first, then disprove - if you can. Just like Peterson says - when you have a theory about something, you should look for ways to dismantle & break it, not rely on the comforts of confirmation bias.... That said, I feel he's a tough one to critique - if one is not misrepresenting his arguments. Still, I was hoping you had something real to share here.

    I think this distorts Peterson a bit: he doesn't argue that observation equates to endorsement. It does suggest that there are things that we may not have as much control over as we imagine. Your example of his views on gender are a case in point: you project onto him the imagined intention that he approves of gender hierarchies, when in fact he is just observing that they exist.

      His argument, based on this reality is that it is neither possible nor desirable to pursue the eradication of all hierarchy.
      His case about gender is particularly salient and obvious: to the extent that there are biological differences between sexes, then we can only achieve equality of outcome of the sexes by preventing people from doing what they want with their lives in order to fulfil some preconceived notion of what the sexes ought to be doing with themselves.

    mmmmh im not so convinced- I know that all of this is very complicated and yes Peterson is absolutely oversimplifying a lot....but im 35 now and what I learned from debating gender is that I prefer an oversimplified solid answer- that is one at least -with exceptions to that rule then no answer at all by saying everything can be everything-so everything is nothing at all in the end? I will always respect a human being for its pure existence- but I will never say a woman can be or shud be everything and call this freedom. women are nothing -or a feeling- or dresses-or just birthing machines at best? I feel freedom in being, having maybe unfitting rules to break and some to follow-better than anarchy - and its ideologised image that misfits want average ppl to see right now. one human can't analyze its human self- one can't and a species can't understand itself as a group in all of evolutionary details-but we can look back and see what worked and didn't worked out for us-to burn everything down is the wish of a delusional small portion of humanity-we shud not listen to them- they prefer nonexistence and confusion and are building freedom on taking other ppl freedom away. critically seen u are not wrong about what ur points are-but u just proofed that Peterson or his viewpoints cud be wrong so the other side must be right somehow.

    This won't age well. Human nature is natural, though not inevitable as evolution would alter it. Also to argue that acting to defend one's own group is misusing the "science" is truly silly. It's instinctive, therefore resonates immediately when heard. Nobody would argue that euthanizing a rabid pet dog to save your family is wrong even if you initially accepted that pet into your home. In other words, with all the word salad, kowtowing and virtue signalling that we're above base instincts, at the end of the day we are all animals, smart animals but nonetheless, our survival requires a biological survival imperative. I'm no JBP fan, but sometimes he's correct.

    For me it seems you dont actually understand what he is actually saying. Because i have listened to him and nothing of what he actually says is in any agreement with what you say he is saying. Its taken out of context and it also shows that you arent willing to actually try to listen and understand.
    In order to actually listen, you cant allow for your preconceived notions to take hold over you, you dont try to object what you are trying to do is understand what they are saying, even if they bring up things you disagree with.
    In order to listen you have to quiet your mind, if you feel anything either positive or negative you are not listening you are simply agreeing or disagreeing in that moment so what words that comes out next you almost implicitly agree or disagree with, but it colors the meaning of what they were trying to say, so you end up at the wrong point.
    And even worse your understanding of evolutionary psychology is at the very best naive or dumb. And then you manage to say the dumbest thing i have heard today "that we are solely shaped by our biological inheritance" and you also say that you have tried to listen to him.
    Im sorry was he speaking in a different language? Or did you suddenly fail to understand actual english? Well it has to be one or the other, because he never said that, what he said was that our evolutionary psychology will to some degree color our perceptions. What he didnt say was "that our evolutionary psychology will determine your psychology today" So you are actually saying you agree with him?
    Then you manage to say that our evolutionary psychology faces a mismatch with our hierarchies, so you agree with him again. Then you say that in our history our sociteties were egalitarian, did you go to school in a box of cornflakes?
    All i can say, is this, you never managed to listen to him, either because you are too naive to do it, or because you are to dumb to do it, i would hate for it to be the latter. Im sorry you are either 5 years old or way to dumb, i am halfway through the video and you havent said a single word against what his stance is, now that is remarkable. You also contradict yourself, on one hand you say egalitarian societies, and then you say that they werent.
    Even worse and maybe more stupid, you bring up problems but offer no single solution, even worse bring up a solution that will work. Im sorry by now i feel rather forced to write you off as dumb and i dont want that to that.
    Then you bring up the falsehood online, so you do agree with him after all? I sincerely hope you did less then 5 hours of research. Right now all i see is the limitations to your understanding of what he is saying. I just have to say that you are incredibly dumb, you think its based on one study that you managed to find? Well that is wrong there are over 100 studies and if my memory serves Jordan Peterson cites at least 7 of them.
    Then Jordan Peterson says its cultural and evolutionary psychology aka biology, which further shoots yourself in the foot saying that he reduces everything into evolutionary biology, did you even read your script before you made this video? No the studies supports that claim and you come up with a "nahh ahh". well done, better counter argument i have never heard.
    Then you say that peterson advocates for traditional gender roles where he does nothing of the sort, what he says is "that we dont know what to do about it" by now im hoping your research was less then 4 hours.
    Then you further fail to understand how the big five can contribute to different behavior of men and women which will lead to different gender roles. Im sorry i have to stop now, i have tried to listen to level earth observer but i cant because everything he says is just so completely wrong. Just as you are about what Jordan Peterson is actually saying.
    I sincerely hope you make a video far less wrong in the future, maybe about how we know the moon is made of a very rare red cheese in france. I mean it would be wrong but not as wrong as this video.
