Used to be part of the 'SJW' crowd. Only thing is, I didn't even realise it. I'm now filled with embarrassment whenever I think of things that I used to say. Glad to be part of the small female audience on JBP's videos. A real awakening.
The systematic postmodernist erosion of the concepts of reason and evidence, along with the systematic Cultural Marxist obsession with the orchestration of victimhood, identity politics, anger, hatred, fear, abuse and scapegoating, has created a perfect storm in 21st century liberal democracies. If you are interested in examining the irrational, absurd and destructive out-workings of this convergence go to thesleepofreason.net where you will find a wide range of articles examining the consequences.
Laura Right? I was born a leftie (school, NBC news), and I remember looking at the Justin Trudeau's decision of having 50% female cabinet and thinking finally! Women have had it too rough for too long, they .... they ....well, there's so many things ... well, actually, they kinda have it good for a lot of things to be honest .... then I remember JP's thoughts on the same issue and it blew me away how wrong I was thinking, hiring based on genitalia instead of skill.
I'd be interested to find out how many of Dr Peterson's audience are not only males, but males who grew up without a father. Since going past the main SJW content, I cleaned my room, quit smoking weed and playing video games constantly and got a job (at Chipotle, not much but it's the best I can do for now) and I feel absolutely amazing. So many lessons I wish I learned from a father I never knew.
ReppeNThA707 Yeesh, it's a bit difficult to describe. Initially, being a somewhat jaded consumer of violent and psychologically dark media, I found the beginning of the first volume mildly comical; to the extent that anyone can find humor in ignorance and agreeableness when combined. Indeed the author seemed to write in a sort of depraved, manic fashion at times. But as you progress, Solzhenitsyn's relentless assault on the reader is of itself torturous. Not in a boring way, in the slightest. The vivid descriptions of atrocities committed were enough to cause me to pause occasionally. As previously stated, I have (had?) a pretty cynical view of violence and human life. I'm only halfway through the second volume, but so far I've gained what I'd consider a profound appreciation for Western justice systems. They're not perfect of course, but the level humanity can sink to is disturbing, and they're not even in the same realm as what they could be and have been before. Freedom and truth are just so much more important to me now.
Brett Fleming Good for you, the first steps to reclaim your life are the Hardest. As a father of two kids my self ill adopt you temporarily as your comments section father and say "well done son!". 😆
Avs Sai Babu You are writing this all here because sometimes you simply have to articulate the musings of your introspections in order to sharpen your understanding of them,l. What better place is there for you to vocalize your thoughts then to an audience who doesn't know you? I don't know you but I am glad you shared that and I am proud of you for taking the initiative to sort yourself out rather than blaming society for your problems. Remember that Medusa is slain by the mirror not the sword.
This mans intellect is only surpassed by his courage. He's a light in the darkness. And it's all darkness. He's helping me see my shortcomings without hating myself for them. Priceless.
You sound like a fanatic. Doesn't take much courage to be a controlled opposition making millions. He's all over the place. He's on TV, he's the most cited of contemporary psychologists (or so they say). Worked for UN if you didn't know.
For many years now, my favorite quote has been one by C. S. Lewis, and I'm reminded of the quote every time I listen to Peterson: "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C. S. Lewis
ZombieSymmetry Lewis was a wise and honest thinker. Love him! Here is a quote from Muggeridge I hope u find equally moving: So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct. Malcom muggeridge
49:34 in and it feels like this guy is speaking to my soul. The day I watched my first ever Jordan B. Peterson video was the day my life changed. I doubt Peterson will ever know how many lives he's touched and I hope that, one day, more people will realise how important his message is. You sir, have my undying gratitude.
The more I listen, the more I want to listen. He articulates what people know is the truth at their very core. This is a unique gift. His ideas are empowering and do not hurt other people, quite the opposite.
When you look at the contrast between comments on a video like this and comments on a music video by 21savage, it really scares me. Sometimes i feel like there is a major battle going on in the cosmos on a scale we cannot comprehend. I see a lot of good and a lot of evil in this world and i do not know how to make sense of it all. alone and afraid in a world i never made... But lets chop some heads of some dragons while we're here.
I have a habit of doing other things while listening/watching RUclips. This talk in particular had me skipping back and sitting down and actually actively watching and listening. I have attention issues. When it's something passive and safe. This talk clearly was not passive or safe.

@@Ian-kh3vi second time today coming across you and your site. A year ago I thought this postmodernism neo-marxism was passionate wording by JBP. That is until I started driving deep into wtf postmodernism is. It really is built off the concepts of Marxism and I even argue parts of Nazism. Until this month I had no clue how serious this postmodernism was. It's literally at the core of why our culture is declining! And the federal reserve economically. Checking out your site btw.
I actually enjoy the confrontational tone of this interview. Most of the people who invite Dr. Peterson seem to largely agree with everything he says, which leaves some of his positions relatively unexamined. Here I think we get more of a chance to see his views firmly challenged by an ostensibly honest interlocutor, which is invaluable on topics like this.
I think the interviewer did a really fantastic job. And it seemed pretty clear to me that he appreciated what Mr. Peterson was saying, which would mean that he asked these really challenging and attentive questions with benevolent intent, which is even more intelligent.
Oh fuck, 20 minutes in and I am hoping beyond hope that one day I will get to stand in the same room with you and shake your hand. You've got a way about you, Dr. Peterson.
If ever this guy comes to town I want to give dude a hug. A manly bro hug though. You too Karen, you really opened my mind to the "other side of the argument."
+K. R. G. Of course I still like him. He and I may disagree on some aspects of MGTOW, but he's right about men and responsibility. We just need to get to the point where men are no longer "good and punished" for their virtues so that the men who WANT that life are able to have it without risking ruin.
Damn, imagine being so emotionally fragile and insecure about your masculinity that you have to affront your fear of commitment to women as an enlightened decision of being. Kinda reminds me of fragile feminists whose solution to the problem of dealing with their own biology is to deny its existence altogether and accuses everyone who believes in them to be oppressive patriarchs.
Yes, but like he said, it comes when it's relevant, and then it's listened to. At the wrong time it's ignored either as alarmist, wrong, not that bad, etc.
I almost cried, seeing how passionate and articulate he is... How he ACTUALLY cares about mankind and defends it of the anti human sjws... idk Its just beautiful to me
Yes. I do not understand why on Earth anyone who has actually LISTENED to this man would have a problem with anything he says. Dr. Peterson cares so much about people and wants everyone to be their best self. He is the genuine article. Somehow that scares the Hell out of a certain kind of person, those who are malevolent and wish harm to humanity, and those who are ignorant enough to buy into that veiled malice. We would all be better if we listened to Dr. Peterson. The world would be a better place. He sees the correct path and tries his best to steer others that way.
His passion is more Christ-like than anything I have related with previously in a lifetime of Catholicism. It only took me about 200 hours listening to his talks to understand exactly how evil communism is. The communists are trying to replace God with a human being and that’s just never going to work.
I think you have been deprived of that energy, that passion. And I'm really sorry. In fact most of us have, some of us even villanize it. How depressing huh? but yes I couldn't agree with your comment more. It's beautiful, and that's an understatement.
Your videos have helped my cousin get over some anxiety issues after a violent altercation. well to do guy and little naive, he experienced real violence one night and was forced to defend himself and was scared by his own fury. I had him watch your videos on evil, and it helped him a lot. thank you
The main explanation for this is that they don't mean what you mean when they used the word. They don't mean what Stalin or Mao meant. What it ends up coming down to is some sort of democracy with a very heavy social safety net. It's the most watered down, wishy washy sort of "Marxism." That's good and bad. Bad in the sense that I don't think that word is probably what most of them are actually looking for when the describe their views and good in the sense that it's not as if 1 in 5 social scientists are advocating everyone working for the government and zero economic freedom.
@@wanderingwizard1361 That is not true, that's just how they formulate it or their mask. And, at any rate, the worst kind of Marxist and person (or one of the worst ) is the person that thinks he's the 'good guy' within the wicked dark pool, you know. I know this because I used to be a classical Marxist and I have spoken to an endless number of Marxists and post-modernists and 'normal, smart atheists', for example, and I have read the works to some degree, so, I know that at the bottom of all of this is Stalin or Mao. Quite literally, and we could get into that and how it true and how it clearly shows itself to be true, but it is the case.
@@TheClassicWorld I think as Peterson says it is pretty doubtful that most people who call themselves Marxist actually really know that much about Mao, Stalin, or 19th century socialism. I think you're giving into feel good cynicism here. Most of these people who call themselves Marxists are just ignorant or using the word in a way that isn't Stalinist or Maoist. Do you really think 1 in 5 social scientists really consciously want to recreate the soviet union? Your suggestion (or implication) that atheism should also be lumped in here is pretty silly. The religious argument that without God there is no morality and everything is subjective is one of the most ridiculous arguments and I have no idea how it is still taken seriously. "Biblical" morality leaves room for slavery and the subjugation of women whereas as a secular form of humanism advocates a morality that puts the individual first.
@@wanderingwizard1361 the individual first comes from religion not secularism. If you listen to JP talking about religious roots to the enlightenment you would see why. The majority of secular people think that group identity is more important than the individual.
@@davidw2433 I think you're making quite a stretch here. There is a strong libertarian/conservative individualist sort of wing of the religious right in the United States just as there is a strong liberal/socialist wing of the secular left right now in modern times. I don't know that that those connections are inherent, though. If there is a connection, it's probably that conservatives are a bit more prone to be fearful and so tend more to be insular and traditional. But to say that being religious encourages valuing the individual more? It's not like the Jesus from the bible was a free market libertarian capitalist. He championed the poor and the collective. The biblical Jesus seems much more socialist than capitalist to me if you have to pick one of the two. The enlightenment took place in a Christian context, obviously, because Europe was overwhelmingly Christian and the power of the church could not be ignored. However, much of the enlightenment was a rejection of the authority of tradition and orthodoxy and in that sense the church as well. If you woke up in Europe in the year 1200 and looked around, I don't think you would be thinking that Christianity promoted individualism. People were burned at the stake for heresy--- thinking the wrong thoughts. The roots of the enlightenment came out of theologians questioning the authority of the church. And when you say religion promotes individualism, do you mean Christianity or all religion? The Muslim world today doesn't seem very individualistic to me and the Muslim world is much more religious than the old traditionally Christian countries which are increasingly secular.
Henri Chastain thats because he is the intellectual equivalent of iron mike tyson! he just cuts through the bullshit gets, inside and demolishes fools.
This has to have been one of the more impressive interviews Dr. Peterson has given. The interviewer was definitely brimming with energy and full of tricks. Dr. Peterson has not failed to impress. I was almost biting my nails with the questions the dude was hurling his way. It was almost like watching a game of chess!
I have had this (tattoo) thought repeatedly in listening to JP. I'd have to be dragon-sized to accommodate them all (and I'd end up looking like an MMA fighter, besides... 😂). On the comment re: your sexual mood-killing tattoo -- if it's going to be the quote about not being all you could be, you might want to be careful where you put it, too...? 😏
I’m a woman, mother of two little ones and I watch your talks every night! It’s not just men who are starved for old fashioned logic. I’m over 40 so this is the kind of thinking I grew up with and was taught. I grew up in Europe in a former socialistic country. Most of us were not stupid poppets. Thank you for all your lectures! That’s from the bottom of my heart. Take care of yourself. I wish I could see you in person but right now I can’t leave the kiddies. My husband doesn’t want to go on his own.
here's a piece on education that very few Americans/Canadians know about. The woman in here marries a Belgian and she is awestruck that he was taught about secret societies running the west.... she is still fighting ruclips.net/video/yWHhLfc0VLg/видео.html 8 min modern . full hour plus (2008) - ruclips.net/video/V7StnD_Qq5M/видео.html
Stuart Wayne, of course your reply is a trick to point out a man should stay with the kids so the oppressed woman could go out. Give me some credit to see through that. And if it’s not then I’ll eat my hat. I should had been smarter and phrased the comment differently, but I ain’t woke.
@@mlaine2 ...nope, no tricks. I often looked after my kids for a few hours if my wife wanted to go to some event or movie or something that I didn't want to go to. If we both did want to go, we would leave our kids with friends or relatives or a babysitter for a few hours to go to the event. Send me the video of when you eat your hat!!! LOL
Every time you speak Dr. Peterson, it's like watching courage incarnate. Stay strong, and remember, a great many of your American cousins hold you in the highest regard for your fortitude in the face of the combined might of the Regressive Left.
Here's an admirer of Professor Peterson from the UK. I love his articulate and crystal clear thinking, his courage and those occasional bursts of good humour. He is a credit to Canada and you are all so lucky to have him.
A lot of my family died in Cuba during the communist revolution (which was first presented as socialism just until the very end). I will just say the symbol of the hammer and sickle is not a laughing matter in family.
"If you have it at 7 in the morning you won't get a single protestor because they'll still be sleeping off their alcohol and pot induced hangover." LOL
That’s very true. It’s like the riots. I knew they would end in most of the country by winter despite what was going on politically. They don’t have any real motivation because they’re not really oppressed so they’re not going to riot outside in the cold. They only riot when it’s comfy and convenient
I would just like to say, the interviewer did an absolutely spectacular job. He wasn't just asking a bunch of canned questions, he actually listened to what Jordan was saying and then responded with very articulate and challenging questions exploring the ideas he expressed even deeper. Which is also the kind of thing that brings out the best in Jordan. 11/10.
Story of my life. I feel like JBP videos are like an addiction I use to fill the void and distract myself when I should be getting my ass in gear to do other things.
Notice me Mr. Peterson! You have really helped me by just by articulating one's' brain processes. I feel very alienated at my High School in Louisiana. I am 17 and just wanted you to tally me down as another millennial you have helped find a voice!
Jordan B Peterson Thanks to you I've begun standing up to the ideologues and lunacy around me. I can't thank you enough for helping me to understand the pathology of the radical left. I knew it was wrong before, but now I have the words to express it. I'm currently preparing to voice my opposition to a school policy that forces everyone to clap only once for every candidate for student government in order to spare their feelings.
Ah man I smiled when I saw that reply Jordans channel has one of the nicest communities. It's not my school system as much as it's my peers just choosing to be irresponsible. It's even hard to find a friend that isn't just looking out for themselves selfishly. Feels like empathy is fading away from people.
It's hard for me to find any video with Peterson uninteresting, but I think the interviewer in this one did a particularly good job. He had great questions and always let the man talk with no useless interruptions.
Well ive always had a meta-hero concept to follow that i update continually so i can sort out new problems. So never really had a single person that exemplified that idea enough to name. And Peterson is no different, but ill credit him as part of that concept. Mainly as someone who came along and gave me the words to articulate things ive believed about myth, history, politics, and life in general. I credit him with helping me connect my disparate sort of bushido code of life into a more cohesive structure that can be practically utilized.
SFB Addict a whole different breed. I love Chris Hitchens, but he is not a thinker for these times. Who knows, maybe if he were still here he would be.
Jordan Peterson has the evangelical zeal of a street-corner preacher. He speaks positive truth emanating from his soul. HE IS what he wants his students TO BE! He moves me to joyful tears!
You can stick your head in the sand when faced with "mere" spoken or written truth. It's way harder to ignore embodied truth - it shines forth like a beacon of Light in a vast sea of darkness
54:02 This ... Hit me right in the chest -- deep impact. It's so spot on. Activism ... Externalizing blame...the evil is elsewhere ... and historically how dangerous that notion is. God bless this man. Watching this in a Coronavirus/George Floyd/BLM world right now. The world needs you right now, Dr. P. I pray for your health and your family... God bless you, sir!
Dr. Peterson is as poised and well-spoken as we have come to expect, but I have to say I'm very impressed with that interviewer. He asked consistently probing and pointed questions without ever stooping to use leading or loaded questions. Although one suspects the interviewer might not be a natural ally of the good doctor's point of view, his interrogation brought the best and most concise thought out of his subject. Very admirable.
I think this is my favorite one so far. Not because it's the best, but because it is the most, say, balanced? Here it is not a devils advocate that is confronting Jordan, it is a student, who clearly is presenting a range of questions gathered from interested parties, and is presenting them in the most challenging way he can. Skillfully and politely too, I might add. Jordan is challenged on virtually every point and has an answer at every step at the way. It's a fun listen.
I think hands down this is my favorite talk from Dr. Peterson; he completely, and seriously, and emotionaly fights on the side of life itself, and you physically see it in this talk... I love Papa Peterson ❤
Dear Mr. Peterson. I cried when you answered the question of the post phd about his career and the choices that lie before him. I was faced with the same problem, to pursue my career as a researcher or be a misfit and face the hardships to come or leave the system. I left. After 3 years of senseless research and fruitless infights where I was constantly deplatformed I "ragequit". Just to encounter the same problems again in the free market, where this time I ended up compromising for the sake of "my career", slowly but inexorably, again and again, until I felt just like a hollow shell. That's when I broke. I am since living in purgatory, not knowing what I can or should do, constantly churning my options. Which as a fairly intelligent and educated person in theory seems like there are so many, (apparent) goals galore, but none feels right, each feels like another betrayal to myself in the making. Thank you for giving me some pointers and some hope to eventually realign my life and own up to myself and society. You are doing us all a tremendous service. You Sir, are a true dragon slayer!
My room has literally never been this clean. I took everything out, scrubbed the baseboards, painted, mopped the floor, and threw out a ton of useless crap.
I'm so glad to have found you Sir. I prayed to God for wisdom, knowledge and understanding and God led me to you and Ben Shapiro. Thank You for making my life richer.
Dr. Jordan Peterson, I parrot the comment already made. However, rather than heap more praise upon you, I would like to express my gratitude to you. I am truly grateful for your hard work and courage. I know I don't speak for the 1500 plus commentators on this video comment section, but you are teaching us concepts that are inspiring us to be better people!
I had a really shitty day at work. Haven't been able to smile much at all. Felt so miserable I thought about going straight to bed. But then I saw this in my feed and it made my night. I'm excited. Thank you for sharing your lectures and thoughts on RUclips.
"There's nothing safe about being educated. If you want to be safe, stay home." That's an extremely bold and amazingly true thing to say. Safety is not something desirable, and saying it so clearly, and explaining it so well in the next sentences, is really incredible.
No smart is not safe at all people resent it or assume you are being manipulative. He's attacked for being influential all the time compared to Hitler who was also smart intelligence in vilified.
Reminds me of something Q tells Picard. And it’s true! Education is offensive by nature. It’s the challenging of your preconceived notions in any given subject.
I am finding it difficult to comment here. This is both profoundly inspiring and intellectually stimulating, perhaps it is inspiring because it is intellectually stimulating.
Stephen Dawe The truth is truly inspiring. “If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.” George Bernard Shaw
"Perception can be defined as what you experience and interpret through your belief filters. In other words, when you form a belief about something and don’t bother to substantiate whether what you believe is true or not, you have a perception." Paul Colaianni - The Overwhelmed Brain
I love your lectures. I've been in a struggle with personal Identity. Ever since then; I've been depressed. I tried medication from Zoloft, I understood that it was never helping. However, thanks to your lectures, you saved my mind-set to becoming bubblegum-brains. To that, to this day, you saved my consciousness. I thank you Dr. Peterson. Everything you have done has helped my mind-set on moving forward, and completely understanding the simplicity of novels. Thank you. *yes I did clean my room
What you said about universities not telling their students about how to realize their potential was one of the most human and passionate things I've ever seen and I'm glad you said it.
I have become positively addicted to Dr. Peterson‘s videos. After becoming aware of him through the c16 videos, I have watched his entire series on personality and its transformations, and maps of meaning. I’ve also watched a number of the religion videos. This particular video is absolutely incredible.Yes it’s long, but well worth watching all the way through. His passion, intelligence, articulateness, and dedication to truth are nothing short of awe inspiring. Every time I listen to him I stand a little taller and hope to aim a little higher.
And to think most philosophers aren't truly appreciated until long after they are dead. It makes me happy that he's able to enjoy the praise while he's still here.
An able and articulate orator if any, and an incredibly intelligent and full of soul man. This conference needs to become a mandatory piece of education for anyone on the planet.
37:02 "If you want a controversial speaker on the campus just have it a 7 in the morning. You won't get a protestor within 50 yards of it because they'll still be sleeping off last night's pot and alcohol induced hangover"
He's such a brilliant man! I've watched virtually all of his videos and really admire his take on things. A sensible perspective that is desperately needed in today's cultural landscape....
Dr. Jordan Peterson is my new hero. I've been obsessively watching his videos since I very recently found out about him. For years, in my ameteurish way, I've been warning people about the significant influence of postmodernism on academia, politics and culture.
I watched this just like a wrestlemania. Just watching Jordan shred through each question made me laugh and clap and yell like a madman. He is such a smart and wise man, I am humbled every time I watch a video of his. Never stop speaking out, Jordan Peterson is living proof that if you stick to your truth, the TRUTH; good will come from it.
Prof Peterson, first of all I want to say to you is THANKS from the bottom of my heart. Not a man here, so I qualify for the MINORITY STATUS among your audiences. I wanted to shout to the world that evey college/university should make your speech, this one, and all your recordings, mandatory to ALL ALL ALL students! Any one who hear your speech would know it is lifechanging (听君一席话，胜读十年书）。
Everything Peterson mentioned about what Universities should be teaching to students about being educated and looking to change the world through well educated, well read, articulate historical thought is preached to us Engineering students in First Year. Along with ethics of what we'll be capable of. Not all hope is lost.
Being in Manchester, England, right now.... well, it's a difficult time. JP gives me hope - 'Stop unnecessary suffering - that's what you do... that's your calling'. Thank you, sir.
What a blessing for us all. Refuting gender pronouns was easy for him, but my goodness, what a treasure chest the rest of the message is. You know the truth when you hear it, the truth rocks!
Jordan Peterson doesn't say not to change the world, just that your examination of the world and attempts to fix it should start with at least trying to fix yourself.
I read Marx, and I wanted to know what kind of man he was. The more I found out the less I thought of him. Such as, He took advantage of his domestic help, got her pregnant, and did not admit parenthood for over 13 years. He seldom bathed, maybe once or twice a YEAR. His research was done in a library, he hated being around the poor. He was as bourgeois as he could be. He was a true fraud.
The interviewer sounds like a 12 year old but I am very impressed with his skill to get a question fully and clearly answered. Most interviewers accept a partial/vague answer and move on.
🤣🤣 The whole Interview I was convinced it was a transgender woman. Dude you really need some testosterone injections and work on that voice. You’re very articulate and intelligent 👍🏻
In a way, Peterson is treating trans gender people with RESPECT because he won't treat them differently from how he treats anyone else. If I came up to him and said, "I want you to refer to me as Your Highness, or "Shmabina" or "Speppalina" he'd look at me like, "Huh? Go the hell away, I have work to do."
Peterson talks about self authoring, learning to read and write, and setting goals to watch yourself progress. I recently decided to start learning an instrument completely from scratch, and I've got to say, it's been the most embarrassing but self fulfilling thing to stumble through. Most people who are 20+ don't remember what it's like to pick up a brand new skill. They just keep building on the same 4 or 5 things that they're good at for the rest of their life -- which is fine, trying to improve yourself in your area of expertise can be fulfilling too. But it's good to always expand your boundaries too and see what you're capable of as a person. I recommend to everyone here who sort of sees themselves as too habitual or stuck in a rut, to try and learn something brand new from scratch. Whether you learn to swim or golf, play an instrument, write short stories, speak a new language, build things out of wood, program a computer, etc. Something to freshen you up and realize how stupid you are and how little you know. It will probably never come in handy but that's not the point. It's just great to start the process of doing something of which you have no clue. And who knows, it could even turn into a hobby.
Terrific advice,read good books. In college and all through life. Especially when one’s retired. Stand up for what is truth. Take responsibility,that brings meaning to life. Very important to follow Dr Peterson in regards to this. Thank you.
I was moved by the profound wisdom in his discourse. I wish I had known someone like him 50 years ago. That being said, better late than never. We have far too few wise voices. I am grateful that I live in the era of RUclips which allows me to listen in on such discourse.
It is so amazing how he embodies exactly what he is saying. Tell the truth and you are a force to be reckoned with. Get your arguments in order before you try to change the world. He tells the truth and he has changed my world, and as is evident by the comments he has changed a lot of worlds. What more do you need to know that he is absolutely correct? Amazing stuff .
I'm always impressed by Dr. Peterson that's old news, the real fun of watching that young interviewer. I was very impressed by his ability to asses Dr. Peterson's ideas and then pose thought provoking questions, not every one has that skill.
So many little nuggets of wisdom, I never feel like it's a waste of time watching Dr. Peterson's videos. A quote I found interesting: "[...] the evil is not elsewhere, it's you, because you're not everything you could be; And you should work on that before going and telling someone else that maybe they're not who they should be."
"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?” -Solzhenitsyn
There must be something worth living for There must be something worth trying for Even some things worth dying for And if one man could stand tall There would be hope for us all Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man. Doctor Peterson thankyou.
“There is less suffering in the world than if I hadn’t come along.” I’m pretty old, in my seventies, and while I could have done things better than I did, I can honestly say that overall, in small ways, it is true that things are better because I came along. I cannot put into words how wonderful and joyful that makes me feel, I love this stage of life, I didn’t know a human being could be this happy.
I'm so glad all this controversy pushed JP out into public. I really feel he is an important person, and not even connected to the controversy, but as a speaker in history for all kinds of things that need to be heard and I hope history will remember him for this.
What lucky students. JBP has done his homework, you can tell. And, as of June 2020 he's been correct. I'm so grateful for him because he has helped me understand these times more than anyone. :)
Thank you Jordan Peterson, i enjoyed the talk, as i always do. We all have an impact on the world, no matter big or small, i am thankful for yours. Thank you.
Good grief, when are people going to understand it has nothing to do with being unwilling to call someone A or B, it's a PRINCIPLE matter: you do NOT give the government the power to police what you say, and how you say it. It's insane how easily some people are willing to wave away their rights in the name of politeness or political correctness.
I would say that the far right is expanding the far left and vice versa. The very act of saying "no I'm not going to respect you and your pronoun" is what radicalizes the left. We've partially created the problem by not being reasonble and finding middle ground. Because it isn't unreasonable to be called what you wish to be called. We do it every time we meet someone when we learn their name (even if its a weird name). If I called some big dude a woman I'd probably get punched because its disrespectful. The problem is that nobody is willing to find middle ground. Now the radical left is pushing for legislation (In canada) so.. the radical right in America is even less willing to respect individual human's pronouns. I'm right wing libertarian and I personally don't give a shit what you call yourself.. its not hard for me to respect that.
It isn't unreasonable to call someone what they requested they be called. But hell will freeze over before I start calling anyone by certain pronouns decreed by government.
It stuns me that after listening to his entire talk that girl at the end can ask such a question. Please do bring us the details of the alleged violence connected to Jordan's talks. Oh gee, turns out there's nothing there cause it was all fabricated. Turns out that a message as peaceful, constructive, empowering and wise as Jordan's doesn't prompt people to violence but to self-improvement.
Well it's fairly obvious. She didn't really set aside her own biases to at least listen. She simply sat there, heard him talk, probably said to herself that oh he's mansplaining, and judged his every word until she had the chance to piggy back on the final question.
It's hard to hear anything except your own projections when you're caught in the grip of an idea. Only they can decide to disentangle themselves from it, and we can only hope that they find better messages to listen to when they emerge.
Some people don't know how to know what is real is and what is not, the unreal looks real to them. "a lie begins by making a lie look like the truth, and ends by making the truth look like a lie"
Having listened to pretty much all of his speeches, I keep coming back to this one as his most powerful one. Especially the segment that begins at 41:20. God, it makes my eyes well with tears every time.
What a perfect ambassador for Canada. Brilliant, well-spoken, principled, kind & compassionate but not someone your able to walk all over. Why couldn't this man be PM instead of the Drama teacher we currently have.
He said in this talk that if people start asking you to join politics you should, just keep asking Jordan to run for office and he'll be compelled to do so :)
1:23:25 "You have to tell the truth, because otherwise you pathologize yourself and you can't rely on your own judgement. That's part of the reason the truth is so necessary. It's that if you are going to use yourself as the mechanism by which you orient yourself in the world, then you better make sure you're not transforming yourself into something that's predicated on error. The attempt to speak the truth is a form of psycho-physiological hygiene. If you're oriented as well as you can towards the articulated truth, then you can increasingly rely on your own judgement.
thank you, to the gentleman having the discussion with him, for having the guts, and also staying reasonable. I'd urge you all to not insult him for having an open conversation. we need to stop punishing people for voicing themselves or well never come to a consensus
The goal of hyper confident people is to find other potential hyper confident people and open doors for them as fast as possible so they will be successful.....the truth of this statement leaves me speechless
Used to be part of the 'SJW' crowd. Only thing is, I didn't even realise it. I'm now filled with embarrassment whenever I think of things that I used to say. Glad to be part of the small female audience on JBP's videos. A real awakening.
Welcome back to "The Real" Laura, glad you're back
The female audience is larger than most people think.
The systematic postmodernist erosion of the concepts of reason and evidence, along with the systematic Cultural Marxist obsession with the orchestration of victimhood, identity politics, anger, hatred, fear, abuse and scapegoating, has created a perfect storm in 21st century liberal democracies. If you are interested in examining the irrational, absurd and destructive out-workings of this convergence go to thesleepofreason.net where you will find a wide range of articles examining the consequences.
Laura Right? I was born a leftie (school, NBC news), and I remember looking at the Justin Trudeau's decision of having 50% female cabinet and thinking finally! Women have had it too rough for too long, they .... they ....well, there's so many things ... well, actually, they kinda have it good for a lot of things to be honest .... then I remember JP's thoughts on the same issue and it blew me away how wrong I was thinking, hiring based on genitalia instead of skill.
Thank you... You ladies will be the voice of reason for JBP against all the bullshit propaganda
Part of the 9% of female Jordan Peterson fans! & I am so grateful for your work. Thank you!
Lauren Marie Same here!
Rin Wesley awesome!
boy it's sure going to be rough to be a guy looking for a girl with a good head on her lol, slightly worse than 10 to 1! *room cleaning intensifies*
Female fans of Peterson unite!
Red Pill Luckily I'm from western Canada so I can't blame my environment! lol. I have some self sorting to attend to first anyhow.
I love how emotional he gets. That's how you know he is real. The man's legit, and as smart as anyone I've ever heard.
What amazes me is that he's been talking about many of the same things for YEARS but he's still so passionate.
It’s from the soul brother I feel the same way! Peace and love my brother
Emotional, but with persistent, concentrated temperance. He recognizes the folly that comes from letting your emotions do the intellectual driving.
It’s because he only tells the truth and genuinely wants the best for everyone. If you have the spirit you can be just like him.
So all the crazy leftists reps and senators are legit, smart and as "real" as it gets?
I'd be interested to find out how many of Dr Peterson's audience are not only males, but males who grew up without a father.
Since going past the main SJW content, I cleaned my room, quit smoking weed and playing video games constantly and got a job (at Chipotle, not much but it's the best I can do for now) and I feel absolutely amazing.
So many lessons I wish I learned from a father I never knew.
Also, I'm halfway through The Gulag Archipelago. Lord that is a horrifying read. Incredibly valuable, though.
Brett Fleming
Serious question: What value have you personally found in your reading, so far?
ReppeNThA707
Yeesh, it's a bit difficult to describe.
Initially, being a somewhat jaded consumer of violent and psychologically dark media, I found the beginning of the first volume mildly comical; to the extent that anyone can find humor in ignorance and agreeableness when combined. Indeed the author seemed to write in a sort of depraved, manic fashion at times.
But as you progress, Solzhenitsyn's relentless assault on the reader is of itself torturous.
Not in a boring way, in the slightest. The vivid descriptions of atrocities committed were enough to cause me to pause occasionally. As previously stated, I have (had?) a pretty cynical view of violence and human life.
I'm only halfway through the second volume, but so far I've gained what I'd consider a profound appreciation for Western justice systems. They're not perfect of course, but the level humanity can sink to is disturbing, and they're not even in the same realm as what they could be and have been before.
Freedom and truth are just so much more important to me now.
Brett Fleming Good for you, the first steps to reclaim your life are the Hardest.
As a father of two kids my self ill adopt you temporarily as your comments section father and say "well done son!".
😆
Avs Sai Babu You are writing this all here because sometimes you simply have to articulate the musings of your introspections in order to sharpen your understanding of them,l. What better place is there for you to vocalize your thoughts then to an audience who doesn't know you? I don't know you but I am glad you shared that and I am proud of you for taking the initiative to sort yourself out rather than blaming society for your problems. Remember that Medusa is slain by the mirror not the sword.
I am lucky to exist in the same time as Dr. Peterson.
Yes and Eddie Van Halen. Seriously.
This mans intellect is only surpassed by his courage.
He's a light in the darkness. And it's all darkness.
He's helping me see my shortcomings without hating myself for them.
Priceless.
what a brilliant description
You sound like a fanatic.
Doesn't take much courage to be a controlled opposition making millions.
He's all over the place. He's on TV, he's the most cited of contemporary psychologists (or so they say). Worked for UN if you didn't know.
@@xslt1692 and that is bad because...?
For many years now, my favorite quote has been one by C. S. Lewis, and I'm reminded of the quote every time I listen to Peterson:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C. S. Lewis
ZombieSymmetry thanks for this excellent quote!
Good quote.
ZombieSymmetry Lewis was a wise and honest thinker. Love him! Here is a quote from Muggeridge I hope u find equally moving:
So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.
Malcom muggeridge
Aye, a good quote. Shame he wasn't able to apply it to yahweh.
dumb anarchist quote lel
49:34 in and it feels like this guy is speaking to my soul. The day I watched my first ever Jordan B. Peterson video was the day my life changed. I doubt Peterson will ever know how many lives he's touched and I hope that, one day, more people will realise how important his message is.
You sir, have my undying gratitude.
Same here , there is no going back. Which is awesome , forever grateful
Same here. His lectures inspire me. In today's world of mindless entertainment it's nice to hear thoughtful discussion of the things of life.
A hero is born out of necessity. Thanks the SJWs for bringing out Jordan Peterson.
kaelin Mbalo - well said, I feel the same way. It’s so refreshing to hear a man speak the truth with no apologies or fear.
It’s actually kind of funny the way he completely embodies the hero archetype that he talks about. He shook the world by just saying no
The more I listen, the more I want to listen. He articulates what people know is the truth at their very core. This is a unique gift. His ideas are empowering and do not hurt other people, quite the opposite.
When you look at the contrast between comments on a video like this and comments on a music video by 21savage, it really scares me. Sometimes i feel like there is a major battle going on in the cosmos on a scale we cannot comprehend. I see a lot of good and a lot of evil in this world and i do not know how to make sense of it all. alone and afraid in a world i never made... But lets chop some heads of some dragons while we're here.
I have a habit of doing other things while listening/watching RUclips. This talk in particular had me skipping back and sitting down and actually actively watching and listening. I have attention issues. When it's something passive and safe. This talk clearly was not passive or safe.

Yes, this is why what he says is labelled hate speech. The fewer people who listen, the better, for the puppetmasters.
@@Ian-kh3vi second time today coming across you and your site. A year ago I thought this postmodernism neo-marxism was passionate wording by JBP. That is until I started driving deep into wtf postmodernism is. It really is built off the concepts of Marxism and I even argue parts of Nazism. Until this month I had no clue how serious this postmodernism was. It's literally at the core of why our culture is declining! And the federal reserve economically. Checking out your site btw.
I actually enjoy the confrontational tone of this interview. Most of the people who invite Dr. Peterson seem to largely agree with everything he says, which leaves some of his positions relatively unexamined. Here I think we get more of a chance to see his views firmly challenged by an ostensibly honest interlocutor, which is invaluable on topics like this.
Yeah I enjoyed his persistence. I wouldn't have minded if he asked the same question even another time! (when he kept asking that one question).
Impressively high caliber interviewer.
I think the interviewer did a really fantastic job. And it seemed pretty clear to me that he appreciated what Mr. Peterson was saying, which would mean that he asked these really challenging and attentive questions with benevolent intent, which is even more intelligent.
This interview probably wouldn't have been as good with softball questions, although Peterson is good at maneuvering around sycophantism.
Are you sure they should be called 'he' ?????
Oh fuck, 20 minutes in and I am hoping beyond hope that one day I will get to stand in the same room with you and shake your hand. You've got a way about you, Dr. Peterson.
karen straughan I am so driving to Toronto to see one of his lectures, unless he comes to America.
If ever this guy comes to town I want to give dude a hug. A manly bro hug though. You too Karen, you really opened my mind to the "other side of the argument."
karen straughan I'd just like to be in the same room with either of you to be honest.
Oh Mrs Straughan.. of course you would go for the lesser of twins.
*internal jealousy and resentment intensify*
+K. R. G. Of course I still like him. He and I may disagree on some aspects of MGTOW, but he's right about men and responsibility. We just need to get to the point where men are no longer "good and punished" for their virtues so that the men who WANT that life are able to have it without risking ruin.
Jordan Peterson is famous for telling people to embrace responsibility. This have restored my faith in humanity.
But that depends on us all!
He always makes me cry. What a great man. THIS WOMAN is a fan.
David Renwick I've been trying too long to be a rockstar. This makes me consider philosophy (;
David Renwick Hair?
Damn, imagine being so emotionally fragile and insecure about your masculinity that you have to affront your fear of commitment to women as an enlightened decision of being.
Kinda reminds me of fragile feminists whose solution to the problem of dealing with their own biology is to deny its existence altogether and accuses everyone who believes in them to be oppressive patriarchs.
carol wennerberg ...he give you so much hope ,great to know theres a whole lot of us still appreciate these high values
His passion, beautifully expressed erudition, and lightly-worn knowledge are hugely inspiring. It makes me well up, too.
This guy is saying the most important thing people have heard in decades. We needed him years ago.
Yes, but like he said, it comes when it's relevant, and then it's listened to. At the wrong time it's ignored either as alarmist, wrong, not that bad, etc.
I almost cried, seeing how passionate and articulate he is... How he ACTUALLY cares about mankind and defends it of the anti human sjws... idk Its just beautiful to me
Well said. He genuinely cares more for others than himself.
Yes. I do not understand why on Earth anyone who has actually LISTENED to this man would have a problem with anything he says. Dr. Peterson cares so much about people and wants everyone to be their best self. He is the genuine article. Somehow that scares the Hell out of a certain kind of person, those who are malevolent and wish harm to humanity, and those who are ignorant enough to buy into that veiled malice. We would all be better if we listened to Dr. Peterson. The world would be a better place. He sees the correct path and tries his best to steer others that way.
His passion is more Christ-like than anything I have related with previously in a lifetime of Catholicism. It only took me about 200 hours listening to his talks to understand exactly how evil communism is. The communists are trying to replace God with a human being and that’s just never going to work.
I think you have been deprived of that energy, that passion. And I'm really sorry. In fact most of us have, some of us even villanize it. How depressing huh? but yes I couldn't agree with your comment more. It's beautiful, and that's an understatement.
@@ProdRex-iz8do Oh no, not at all, Im very passionate, I just love to see it to such an extent on other people
Dr. Peterson, you have transcended.
He or she who carries the Jungian torch prevails
...to a living meme. Hail Kermit!
Your videos have helped my cousin get over some anxiety issues after a violent altercation. well to do guy and little naive, he experienced real violence one night and was forced to defend himself and was scared by his own fury. I had him watch your videos on evil, and it helped him a lot. thank you
ryan perez can you reference me to which videos exactly I'd love to see these.
"1 in 5 social scientists identifies as a Marxist." God help us. And our college students.
The main explanation for this is that they don't mean what you mean when they used the word. They don't mean what Stalin or Mao meant. What it ends up coming down to is some sort of democracy with a very heavy social safety net. It's the most watered down, wishy washy sort of "Marxism."
That's good and bad. Bad in the sense that I don't think that word is probably what most of them are actually looking for when the describe their views and good in the sense that it's not as if 1 in 5 social scientists are advocating everyone working for the government and zero economic freedom.
@@wanderingwizard1361 That is not true, that's just how they formulate it or their mask. And, at any rate, the worst kind of Marxist and person (or one of the worst ) is the person that thinks he's the 'good guy' within the wicked dark pool, you know. I know this because I used to be a classical Marxist and I have spoken to an endless number of Marxists and post-modernists and 'normal, smart atheists', for example, and I have read the works to some degree, so, I know that at the bottom of all of this is Stalin or Mao. Quite literally, and we could get into that and how it true and how it clearly shows itself to be true, but it is the case.
@@TheClassicWorld I think as Peterson says it is pretty doubtful that most people who call themselves Marxist actually really know that much about Mao, Stalin, or 19th century socialism. I think you're giving into feel good cynicism here. Most of these people who call themselves Marxists are just ignorant or using the word in a way that isn't Stalinist or Maoist. Do you really think 1 in 5 social scientists really consciously want to recreate the soviet union?
Your suggestion (or implication) that atheism should also be lumped in here is pretty silly. The religious argument that without God there is no morality and everything is subjective is one of the most ridiculous arguments and I have no idea how it is still taken seriously. "Biblical" morality leaves room for slavery and the subjugation of women whereas as a secular form of humanism advocates a morality that puts the individual first.
@@wanderingwizard1361 the individual first comes from religion not secularism. If you listen to JP talking about religious roots to the enlightenment you would see why. The majority of secular people think that group identity is more important than the individual.
@@davidw2433 I think you're making quite a stretch here.
There is a strong libertarian/conservative individualist sort of wing of the religious right in the United States just as there is a strong liberal/socialist wing of the secular left right now in modern times. I don't know that that those connections are inherent, though. If there is a connection, it's probably that conservatives are a bit more prone to be fearful and so tend more to be insular and traditional. But to say that being religious encourages valuing the individual more?
It's not like the Jesus from the bible was a free market libertarian capitalist. He championed the poor and the collective. The biblical Jesus seems much more socialist than capitalist to me if you have to pick one of the two.
The enlightenment took place in a Christian context, obviously, because Europe was overwhelmingly Christian and the power of the church could not be ignored. However, much of the enlightenment was a rejection of the authority of tradition and orthodoxy and in that sense the church as well.
If you woke up in Europe in the year 1200 and looked around, I don't think you would be thinking that Christianity promoted individualism. People were burned at the stake for heresy--- thinking the wrong thoughts. The roots of the enlightenment came out of theologians questioning the authority of the church.
And when you say religion promotes individualism, do you mean Christianity or all religion? The Muslim world today doesn't seem very individualistic to me and the Muslim world is much more religious than the old traditionally Christian countries which are increasingly secular.
This dude has been going inside every Dragon Den possible and emerges victorious
Henri Chastain thats because he is the intellectual equivalent of iron mike tyson! he just cuts through the bullshit gets, inside and demolishes fools.
This has to have been one of the more impressive interviews Dr. Peterson has given. The interviewer was definitely brimming with energy and full of tricks. Dr. Peterson has not failed to impress. I was almost biting my nails with the questions the dude was hurling his way. It was almost like watching a game of chess!
Careful. Just cus he knows all this stuff doesn't mean he implements it.
He's the Chuck Norris of college debate. Dr. Peterson does not beat you in a debate, he merely allows you to lose.
Yeah, save some dragons and gold for the rest of us. He's hogging all the sorting and rescuing of dead fathers.
"The evil is not elsewhere; it's you, because you're not everything you could be"

I have had this (tattoo) thought repeatedly in listening to JP. I'd have to be dragon-sized to accommodate them all (and I'd end up looking like an MMA fighter, besides... 😂). On the comment re: your sexual mood-killing tattoo -- if it's going to be the quote about not being all you could be, you might want to be careful where you put it, too...? 😏
That's when humility comes in, knowing I am capable of both good and evil deeds.
I’m a woman, mother of two little ones and I watch your talks every night! It’s not just men who are starved for old fashioned logic. I’m over 40 so this is the kind of thinking I grew up with and was taught. I grew up in Europe in a former socialistic country. Most of us were not stupid poppets. Thank you for all your lectures! That’s from the bottom of my heart. Take care of yourself. I wish I could see you in person but right now I can’t leave the kiddies. My husband doesn’t want to go on his own.
here's a piece on education that very few Americans/Canadians know about. The woman in here marries a Belgian and she is awestruck that he was taught about secret societies running the west....

Well then, why don't you get your hubby to look after the kiddies for one evening so that you yourself might go to one of Dr. Peterson's talks?
Stuart Wayne, of course your reply is a trick to point out a man should stay with the kids so the oppressed woman could go out. Give me some credit to see through that. And if it’s not then I’ll eat my hat. I should had been smarter and phrased the comment differently, but I ain’t woke.
@@mlaine2 ...nope, no tricks. I often looked after my kids for a few hours if my wife wanted to go to some event or movie or something that I didn't want to go to. If we both did want to go, we would leave our kids with friends or relatives or a babysitter for a few hours to go to the event. Send me the video of when you eat your hat!!! LOL
Stuart Wayne, very obvious concept to point without having an alternative motive or criticism.
Every time you speak Dr. Peterson, it's like watching courage incarnate. Stay strong, and remember, a great many of your American cousins hold you in the highest regard for your fortitude in the face of the combined might of the Regressive Left.
O Canada! HIs home and native land!
Here's an admirer of Professor Peterson from the UK. I love his articulate and crystal clear
thinking, his courage and those occasional bursts of good humour. He is a credit to Canada and you are all so lucky to have him.
A lot of my family died in Cuba during the communist revolution (which was first presented as socialism just until the very end). I will just say the symbol of the hammer and sickle is not a laughing matter in family.

That’s very true. It’s like the riots. I knew they would end in most of the country by winter despite what was going on politically. They don’t have any real motivation because they’re not really oppressed so they’re not going to riot outside in the cold. They only riot when it’s comfy and convenient
He is soooo SPOT ON!!! I see it everywhere in every sector
I would just like to say, the interviewer did an absolutely spectacular job. He wasn't just asking a bunch of canned questions, he actually listened to what Jordan was saying and then responded with very articulate and challenging questions exploring the ideas he expressed even deeper. Which is also the kind of thing that brings out the best in Jordan. 11/10.
Only problem I had was the "hm"s during Peterson's speech. That was annoying.
I think being in the presence of Jordan Peterson would make anyone sweat nervously, hence I understood the "ummm"
Except "he" is a "she" - in a suit.
Agree 100%
Are they? I honestly couldn't tell.
EDIT: man this looks bad in this chain. I was responding to Kristina Parry
I was about to clean my room but JBP uploaded another video.
That is just the evil side of you articulating excuses so you don't sort out the chaos in your personal space.
He needs that line of evil that goes down his heart and down to the underworld in order to successfully rescue his father
LOL Although I wrote that in a half joking half serious tone tho. From my experience, it really sounds like an inner made up excuse.
I was about to sort myself out and then someone reuploaded a Peterson highlight
Story of my life. I feel like JBP videos are like an addiction I use to fill the void and distract myself when I should be getting my ass in gear to do other things.
This was my favorite interview I've watched of Jordan Peterson. I think the interviewer was positively excellent. Good job to both parties.
Notice me Mr. Peterson! You have really helped me by just by articulating one's' brain processes. I feel very alienated at my High School in Louisiana. I am 17 and just wanted you to tally me down as another millennial you have helped find a voice!
Nevion As another milenial at a very liberal high school I sympathize deeply
Jordan B Peterson Thanks to you I've begun standing up to the ideologues and lunacy around me. I can't thank you enough for helping me to understand the pathology of the radical left. I knew it was wrong before, but now I have the words to express it. I'm currently preparing to voice my opposition to a school policy that forces everyone to clap only once for every candidate for student government in order to spare their feelings.
Are you kidding me!? A sanction used in order to force people to do something they don't want to do?? Well, that's unheard of!
Wait...
Ah man I smiled when I saw that reply Jordans channel has one of the nicest communities. It's not my school system as much as it's my peers just choosing to be irresponsible. It's even hard to find a friend that isn't just looking out for themselves selfishly. Feels like empathy is fading away from people.
Nevion In the Trump era we seem to have forgotten that the people at the other end of the political spectrum aren't demons.
It's hard for me to find any video with Peterson uninteresting, but I think the interviewer in this one did a particularly good job. He had great questions and always let the man talk with no useless interruptions.
I guess, this is what *unadulterated truth* sounds like. It shakes you from within and makes you *sort your self out.*
its like having a father that actually gives good advice and knows how to talk to you. EDIT: new keyboard sorry
Redpilling
Ive never had heroes until Jordan Peterson.
I have said exactly the same thing
I recommend what Peterson also did. Read great literature. You'll soon have plenty of heroes.
Well ive always had a meta-hero concept to follow that i update continually so i can sort out new problems. So never really had a single person that exemplified that idea enough to name. And Peterson is no different, but ill credit him as part of that concept. Mainly as someone who came along and gave me the words to articulate things ive believed about myth, history, politics, and life in general. I credit him with helping me connect my disparate sort of bushido code of life into a more cohesive structure that can be practically utilized.
My first hero before Peterson was Hitchens
SFB Addict a whole different breed. I love Chris Hitchens, but he is not a thinker for these times. Who knows, maybe if he were still here he would be.
Of all the amazing Jordan Peterson talks, this one is the best... I'm in awe.
Jordan Peterson has the evangelical zeal of a street-corner preacher. He speaks positive truth emanating from his soul. HE IS what he wants his students TO BE! He moves me to joyful tears!
You can stick your head in the sand when faced with "mere" spoken or written truth.
It's way harder to ignore embodied truth - it shines forth like a beacon of Light in a vast sea of darkness
Do you listen the one with Dr Oz ? That's my top one though
54:02 This ... Hit me right in the chest -- deep impact. It's so spot on. Activism ... Externalizing blame...the evil is elsewhere ... and historically how dangerous that notion is.
God bless this man. Watching this in a Coronavirus/George Floyd/BLM world right now. The world needs you right now, Dr. P. I pray for your health and your family... God bless you, sir!
Dr. Peterson is as poised and well-spoken as we have come to expect, but I have to say I'm very impressed with that interviewer. He asked consistently probing and pointed questions without ever stooping to use leading or loaded questions. Although one suspects the interviewer might not be a natural ally of the good doctor's point of view, his interrogation brought the best and most concise thought out of his subject. Very admirable.
exactly.
yeah that kid was super impressive!!!!
I think this is my favorite one so far. Not because it's the best, but because it is the most, say, balanced?
Here it is not a devils advocate that is confronting Jordan, it is a student, who clearly is presenting a range of questions gathered from interested parties, and is presenting them in the most challenging way he can. Skillfully and politely too, I might add. Jordan is challenged on virtually every point and has an answer at every step at the way.
It's a fun listen.
I send this particular one out to people I know or meet who hasn't heard of Dr Peterson before. This is a very good primer.
I think hands down this is my favorite talk from Dr. Peterson; he completely, and seriously, and emotionaly fights on the side of life itself, and you physically see it in this talk... I love Papa Peterson ❤
Dear Mr. Peterson. I cried when you answered the question of the post phd about his career and the choices that lie before him. I was faced with the same problem, to pursue my career as a researcher or be a misfit and face the hardships to come or leave the system. I left. After 3 years of senseless research and fruitless infights where I was constantly deplatformed I "ragequit". Just to encounter the same problems again in the free market, where this time I ended up compromising for the sake of "my career", slowly but inexorably, again and again, until I felt just like a hollow shell. That's when I broke.
I am since living in purgatory, not knowing what I can or should do, constantly churning my options. Which as a fairly intelligent and educated person in theory seems like there are so many, (apparent) goals galore, but none feels right, each feels like another betrayal to myself in the making.
Thank you for giving me some pointers and some hope to eventually realign my life and own up to myself and society.
You are doing us all a tremendous service. You Sir, are a true dragon slayer!
I can relate a lot to what you say.
anyone else shed a tear at how fantastic this was?
I do that at least once per video.
Then I clean my room.
"Ideologically possessed." I love his choice of words and phrases. So precise!!!!!!!! I love his PASSION! How we need that.
I have dedicated my channel to sorting myself out by listening to your lectures. Thank you.
hey! i've been watching your videos and i think what you're doing is great. i can't wait to see you sort yourself out and to sort myself out too :)
Thanks Ollie! I will have to check out your videos too.
All time great youtube avatar
TheOlzee It's spotless
My room has literally never been this clean. I took everything out, scrubbed the baseboards, painted, mopped the floor, and threw out a ton of useless crap.
He not only means it literally, more importantly, he means it metaphorically.
It's no picnic..
I'm so glad to have found you Sir. I prayed to God for wisdom, knowledge and understanding and God led me to you and Ben Shapiro. Thank You for making my life richer.
Dr. Jordan Peterson, I parrot the comment already made. However, rather than heap more praise upon you, I would like to express my gratitude to you. I am truly grateful for your hard work and courage. I know I don't speak for the 1500 plus commentators on this video comment section, but you are teaching us concepts that are inspiring us to be better people!
I had a really shitty day at work. Haven't been able to smile much at all.
Felt so miserable I thought about going straight to bed.
But then I saw this in my feed and it made my night. I'm excited.
Thank you for sharing your lectures and thoughts on RUclips.
Missy J hope you feel better soon
Ayyy

"There's nothing safe about being educated. If you want to be safe, stay home."
That's an extremely bold and amazingly true thing to say. Safety is not something desirable, and saying it so clearly, and explaining it so well in the next sentences, is really incredible.
No smart is not safe at all people resent it or assume you are being manipulative. He's attacked for being influential all the time compared to Hitler who was also smart intelligence in vilified.
Reminds me of something Q tells Picard. And it’s true! Education is offensive by nature. It’s the challenging of your preconceived notions in any given subject.
I am finding it difficult to comment here. This is both profoundly inspiring and intellectually stimulating, perhaps it is inspiring because it is intellectually stimulating.
Stephen Dawe The truth is truly inspiring.
“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.” George Bernard Shaw
"Perception can be defined as what you experience and interpret through your belief filters. In other words, when you form a belief about something and don’t bother to substantiate whether what you believe is true or not, you have a perception." Paul Colaianni - The Overwhelmed Brain
I love your lectures. I've been in a struggle with personal Identity. Ever since then; I've been depressed. I tried medication from Zoloft, I understood that it was never helping.
However, thanks to your lectures, you saved my mind-set to becoming bubblegum-brains. To that, to this day, you saved my consciousness.
I thank you Dr. Peterson. Everything you have done has helped my mind-set on moving forward, and completely understanding the simplicity of novels. Thank you.
*yes I did clean my room
this man is intelligent...he should run to be Canada prime minister, this is the type of leaders we need. common sense and morality.
Damnit - I'm not done with the first biblical lecture series yet! I can't sort myself out fast enough!
that first lecture triggered me, my wife cleans my womb.
black lesbian in a wheelchair wound?
What the hell name is "Black lesbian in a wheelchair". Are you like saying you're the ultimate type of diverse.
THE... i identify as the seat of a black womans wheelchair!
can i identify as all powerfull chief?
What you said about universities not telling their students about how to realize their potential was one of the most human and passionate things I've ever seen and I'm glad you said it.
I have become positively addicted to Dr. Peterson‘s videos. After becoming aware of him through the c16 videos, I have watched his entire series on personality and its transformations, and maps of meaning. I’ve also watched a number of the religion videos. This particular video is absolutely incredible.Yes it’s long, but well worth watching all the way through. His passion, intelligence, articulateness, and dedication to truth are nothing short of awe inspiring. Every time I listen to him I stand a little taller and hope to aim a little higher.
This was such an incredible thing to listen to. This man is just amazing.
And to think most philosophers aren't truly appreciated until long after they are dead. It makes me happy that he's able to enjoy the praise while he's still here.
Dr Peterson, you helped renew my faith in humanity. Thank you.
An able and articulate orator if any, and an incredibly intelligent and full of soul man. This conference needs to become a mandatory piece of education for anyone on the planet.
37:02 "If you want a controversial speaker on the campus just have it a 7 in the morning. You won't get a protestor within 50 yards of it because they'll still be sleeping off last night's pot and alcohol induced hangover"
He's such a brilliant man! I've watched virtually all of his videos and really admire his take on things. A sensible perspective that is desperately needed in today's cultural landscape....
Dr. Jordan Peterson is my new hero. I've been obsessively watching his videos since I very recently found out about him. For years, in my ameteurish way, I've been warning people about the significant influence of postmodernism on academia, politics and culture.
I watched this just like a wrestlemania. Just watching Jordan shred through each question made me laugh and clap and yell like a madman. He is such a smart and wise man, I am humbled every time I watch a video of his. Never stop speaking out, Jordan Peterson is living proof that if you stick to your truth, the TRUTH; good will come from it.
Prof Peterson, first of all I want to say to you is THANKS from the bottom of my heart. Not a man here, so I qualify for the MINORITY STATUS among your audiences. I wanted to shout to the world that evey college/university should make your speech, this one, and all your recordings, mandatory to ALL ALL ALL students! Any one who hear your speech would know it is lifechanging (听君一席话，胜读十年书）。
Should be mandatory watching for every college freshman.
Everything Peterson mentioned about what Universities should be teaching to students about being educated and looking to change the world through well educated, well read, articulate historical thought is preached to us Engineering students in First Year. Along with ethics of what we'll be capable of.
Not all hope is lost.
good to hear! - really
Being in Manchester, England, right now.... well, it's a difficult time. JP gives me hope - 'Stop unnecessary suffering - that's what you do... that's your calling'. Thank you, sir.
What a blessing for us all. Refuting gender pronouns was easy for him, but my goodness, what a treasure chest the rest of the message is. You know the truth when you hear it, the truth rocks!
Well said
Normal People : "I read Marx and now I want to change the world"
Me : "I watched Jordan Peterson and now I want to change myself"
Nothing normal about that first one -- deeply disturbed, no matter how typical. You're more normal than you think....😉
ah so true. He's really inspiring. I was there on that position too haha but now I feel rather ashamed :(
Donald Trump : "I've watched the Mikado and now I want to rule the world."
Only joking!
Jordan Peterson doesn't say not to change the world, just that your examination of the world and attempts to fix it should start with at least trying to fix yourself.
I read Marx, and I wanted to know what kind of man he was. The more I found out the less I thought of him. Such as, He took advantage of his domestic help, got her pregnant, and did not admit parenthood for over 13 years. He seldom bathed, maybe once or twice a YEAR. His research was done in a library, he hated being around the poor. He was as bourgeois as he could be. He was a true fraud.
I am hooked. Listened to him for 4 days now without much rest. Turns my mind.
To struggle on behalf of the good........Brilliant!
Thank you Dr. Peterson.
The interviewer sounds like a 12 year old but I am very impressed with his skill to get a question fully and clearly answered. Most interviewers accept a partial/vague answer and move on.
Right: when his voice breaks he'll be wonderful!
I like that he clearly supports the left while still being capable of reasoned debate. It’s more than I expected from someone his age. Mazel Tov !
I thought the interviewer was a female.
Wasn't "it" a chick dressed in men's garb ?
🤣🤣 The whole Interview I was convinced it was a transgender woman. Dude you really need some testosterone injections and work on that voice. You’re very articulate and intelligent 👍🏻
In a way, Peterson is treating trans gender people with RESPECT because he won't treat them differently from how he treats anyone else. If I came up to him and said, "I want you to refer to me as Your Highness, or "Shmabina" or "Speppalina" he'd look at me like, "Huh? Go the hell away, I have work to do."
Wow -- I think there should be a petition to add "Your Highness" to the list of identity pronouns/forms of address. Just to make the point. Takers?
Peterson talks about self authoring, learning to read and write, and setting goals to watch yourself progress. I recently decided to start learning an instrument completely from scratch, and I've got to say, it's been the most embarrassing but self fulfilling thing to stumble through.
Most people who are 20+ don't remember what it's like to pick up a brand new skill. They just keep building on the same 4 or 5 things that they're good at for the rest of their life -- which is fine, trying to improve yourself in your area of expertise can be fulfilling too. But it's good to always expand your boundaries too and see what you're capable of as a person.
I recommend to everyone here who sort of sees themselves as too habitual or stuck in a rut, to try and learn something brand new from scratch. Whether you learn to swim or golf, play an instrument, write short stories, speak a new language, build things out of wood, program a computer, etc. Something to freshen you up and realize how stupid you are and how little you know. It will probably never come in handy but that's not the point. It's just great to start the process of doing something of which you have no clue. And who knows, it could even turn into a hobby.
Terrific advice,read good books.
In college and all through life.
Especially when one’s retired.
Stand up for what is truth.
Take responsibility,that brings
meaning to life.
Very important to follow Dr Peterson in regards to this.
Thank you.
I appreciated this comment 6 years later
I was moved by the profound wisdom in his discourse. I wish I had known someone like him 50 years ago. That being said, better late than never. We have far too few wise voices. I am grateful that I live in the era of RUclips which allows me to listen in on such discourse.
It is so amazing how he embodies exactly what he is saying.
Tell the truth and you are a force to be reckoned with.
Get your arguments in order before you try to change the world.
He tells the truth and he has changed my world, and as is evident by the comments he has changed a lot of worlds.
What more do you need to know that he is absolutely correct?
Amazing stuff .
I'm always impressed by Dr. Peterson that's old news, the real fun of watching that young interviewer. I was very impressed by his ability to asses Dr. Peterson's ideas and then pose thought provoking questions, not every one has that skill.
Fantastic interviewer!
So many little nuggets of wisdom, I never feel like it's a waste of time watching Dr. Peterson's videos. A quote I found interesting:
"[...] the evil is not elsewhere, it's you, because you're not everything you could be; And you should work on that before going and telling someone else that maybe they're not who they should be."
DAMN that's good.
"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
-Solzhenitsyn
There must be something worth living for
There must be something worth trying for
Even some things worth dying for
And if one man could stand tall
There would be hope for us all
Somewhere, somewhere in the spirit of man.
Doctor Peterson thankyou.
“There is less suffering in the world than if I hadn’t come along.” I’m pretty old, in my seventies, and while I could have done things better than I did, I can honestly say that overall, in small ways, it is true that things are better because I came along. I cannot put into words how wonderful and joyful that makes me feel, I love this stage of life, I didn’t know a human being could be this happy.
I'm so glad all this controversy pushed JP out into public. I really feel he is an important person, and not even connected to the controversy, but as a speaker in history for all kinds of things that need to be heard and I hope history will remember him for this.
What lucky students. JBP has done his homework, you can tell. And, as of June 2020 he's been correct. I'm so grateful for him because he has helped me understand these times more than anyone. :)
AT 39:20: "....young men are bailing out - because they've been well punished for their VIRTUES." Preach it, bro.
I can feel my paradigm shifting.... things that are now obvious were once obscured.
Well done Mr. Interview guy. Fascinating stuff.
Love the optimism and the way he cheered on the potential of the students he was speaking to.
Thank you Jordan Peterson, i enjoyed the talk, as i always do. We all have an impact on the world, no matter big or small, i am thankful for yours. Thank you.
Good grief, when are people going to understand it has nothing to do with being unwilling to call someone A or B, it's a PRINCIPLE matter: you do NOT give the government the power to police what you say, and how you say it. It's insane how easily some people are willing to wave away their rights in the name of politeness or political correctness.
And that's exactly why the PC movement was established. To convince people to give away their liberties in the supposed name of compassion.
S VM r
So its all a massive conspiracy? I wonder what Jordan would say about my conspiracy question. And no, please don't speak for him.
I would say that the far right is expanding the far left and vice versa. The very act of saying "no I'm not going to respect you and your pronoun" is what radicalizes the left. We've partially created the problem by not being reasonble and finding middle ground. Because it isn't unreasonable to be called what you wish to be called. We do it every time we meet someone when we learn their name (even if its a weird name). If I called some big dude a woman I'd probably get punched because its disrespectful. The problem is that nobody is willing to find middle ground. Now the radical left is pushing for legislation (In canada) so.. the radical right in America is even less willing to respect individual human's pronouns. I'm right wing libertarian and I personally don't give a shit what you call yourself.. its not hard for me to respect that.
It isn't unreasonable to call someone what they requested they be called. But hell will freeze over before I start calling anyone by certain pronouns decreed by government.
43:40 - 47:30 the man's so passionate he's almost crying. we need more people like this
David R. D. Speaking the truth can do that.
"This happened mostly in France, which has produced, probably, the most reprehensible cotierie of public intelectuals the world has ever managed."
😇😇😇
Sartre, De Beauvoir, Derrida, de Mann, and Focaultt were the main players
This man is so important at this time
It stuns me that after listening to his entire talk that girl at the end can ask such a question. Please do bring us the details of the alleged violence connected to Jordan's talks. Oh gee, turns out there's nothing there cause it was all fabricated. Turns out that a message as peaceful, constructive, empowering and wise as Jordan's doesn't prompt people to violence but to self-improvement.
Well it's fairly obvious. She didn't really set aside her own biases to at least listen. She simply sat there, heard him talk, probably said to herself that oh he's mansplaining, and judged his every word until she had the chance to piggy back on the final question.
It's hard to hear anything except your own projections when you're caught in the grip of an idea. Only they can decide to disentangle themselves from it, and we can only hope that they find better messages to listen to when they emerge.
It stuns me that your stunned.. LOL
Some people don't know how to know what is real is and what is not, the unreal looks real to them.
"a lie begins by making a lie look like the truth, and ends by making the truth look like a lie"
@@Jester123ish : brilliant quotes!
"The altered eye alters all"
Having listened to pretty much all of his speeches, I keep coming back to this one as his most powerful one. Especially the segment that begins at 41:20. God, it makes my eyes well with tears every time.
Some say every time he opens his mouth, a millennial is sorted out!
papa bless
Yassine Motaouakkil Legends say that...
this was a reference both to The Stig and great lore that employs your suggested wording
A bucko*
All we know is he's called Jordan Peterson.
What a perfect ambassador for Canada. Brilliant, well-spoken, principled, kind & compassionate but not someone your able to walk all over. Why couldn't this man be PM instead of the Drama teacher we currently have.
He said that he considers politics every 5 years but always determines that he is adding more value doing what he is doing
He said in this talk that if people start asking you to join politics you should, just keep asking Jordan to run for office and he'll be compelled to do so :)
Amazing the conversations you can have when you let people speak.
Luke DeHart amazing how relevent your comment is to the cathy newman debacle...you called it months ago...Bravo.
I've never met Jordan but he has changed my life in so many ways. God bless him.
1:23:25 "You have to tell the truth, because otherwise you pathologize yourself and you can't rely on your own judgement. That's part of the reason the truth is so necessary.
It's that if you are going to use yourself as the mechanism by which you orient yourself in the world, then you better make sure you're not transforming yourself into something that's predicated on error. The attempt to speak the truth is a form of psycho-physiological hygiene.
If you're oriented as well as you can towards the articulated truth, then you can increasingly rely on your own judgement.
Urosh this
fuck.
I watch a majority of Dr. Peterson's videos, this is the best and most concise presentation. Thank you for the nourishment , Dr. Peterson.
He is amazing, Truly amazing.
this man is the most articulate man I have ever seen
Probably, although Razorfist (aka The Rageaholic) would give anyone a run for their money. ;)
Peterson is like a newly minted Paglia breaking loose on college discourse.
Every now and again, nature delivers one of these marvels.
thank you, to the gentleman having the discussion with him, for having the guts, and also staying reasonable.
I'd urge you all to not insult him for having an open conversation. we need to stop punishing people for voicing themselves or well never come to a consensus
The goal of hyper confident people is to find other potential hyper confident people and open doors for them as fast as possible so they will be successful.....the truth of this statement leaves me speechless
Competent* but yes the point is good
Bloody hell, Dr, Peterson is like the intellectual father of youtube
"I appreciate that you have an opinion"
That was gold
