Jordan Peterson Educates Climate Activist | Short Clips

- Dr. Jordan Peterson educates a climate activist on personal responsibility and she is not happy about it. 😅
How do you want to improve America? By focusing on improving and refining yourself? Or by transforming society? The answer to that question will reveal whether you're on the Left or the Right.
"No."
-Jordan Peterson
Deep
he was probably thinking what to say next not trying to disrespect. The guy who answer the question should have simply said... "why not?"

No

No
Haha I read this literally as it happened in the video lol
"Jordan Peterson educates a climate activist", this implies that the activist learned something, she did not. She heard something she didn't like and flatly refused it. She learned nothing.
This is an excellent point. Whilst it appeared that Dr P had identified the issue with the questioner, he didn't slightly educate the person.
That said:
- the discussion about catastrophe needs to be defined, and billions of small steps taken by people CAN turn the tide
- the discussion in a public setting like this would be near impossible for the person to expose their personal challenges
They never do 🤔
Fact of the matter is that combatting climate change takes a global effort. Diplomacy is the best method to get this done.
@william III Good video. thanks..Also Climate Discussion Nexus: ruclips.net/video/K_8xd0LCeRQ/видео.html
How could ANY npc learn anything at all?!
Tom McDonald said it best. " people worrying about leaving a better planet for our children, how about we focus on leaving better children for planet?"
Nice quote but I don't agree. There will be 10 000 000 000 people by 2050. We need no more kids. And most kids are average people, just like adults. If we cannot make this planet better why could they?

@@redberryterf We won’t have that many people in 2050. From what scientists have said that there will be a mass depopulation before that. A lot of people will die from perhaps disease, war, and famine.
@@darkcrystal9304 Now we have around 70-80% of that figure which is still a lot of people. There is a sweet spot which we are definitely above by a large margin. At the sweet spot, no one has to face water shortage, food shortage, crammed spaces or high costs of living. Of course, the sweet spot differs for different regions
@@redberryterf exactly, why not lead by example and fix our problems now
When i was in college I once heard a speaker say very similar to what Mr Peterson said “ if you can’t be responsible about yourself and be a good steward in your own home you can’t be a responsible leader to others”
It struck me and realized how true it is, some doesn’t want to agree with this statement but it’s very true whether we like it or not.
Shaking one's head and rolling one's eyes does not get the bed made.

Amen!
She obviously didn’t show up there to learn ANYTHING
It is a way to avoid cleaning your room though.
Doesn't solve he weight problem neither.
She looks like she hasn't cleaned her room.
However, she did clean out the refrigerator.
I think she mowed her lawn and trimmed the bushes so her neighbors think she's clean and virtuous while the inside is filled with trash.

@@vivlozn well.. you have to start somewhere...

Totally agree - the lack of character education for individuals is a real problem for society.

If you can’t take individual responsibility, don’t talk about collective responsibility

She didn't ask the question for an answer.
She asked so that she could convert him with a new perspective.
And, when she failed, she dismissed him as ignorant.
Jonathan the way she shook her head as soon as he started talking makes me wonder why she asked in the first place. But we already know why.

Its always like that , they are so happy about the brilliance of their questions, that answers loses their value in comparison. Hence the whole interview evolves around questions and not answers.

What's interesting is that Michael Jackson is a hero to the Left, and they'll all talk about what a great song that is, but following the path that the song's lyrics urge is the LAST thing they're ever going to do - it's the exact OPPOSITE of their philosophy of life, which is, "As long as I'm demonstrating for some big social cause, then I'm a good person and I don't need to spend ANY time looking in the mirror or changing myself - it's all just about changing society."

You can't fix society till you fix yourself. It starts with personal responsibility.
“No”…The most epic and concise reply by Dr Peterson to absurd questions
She shook her head like he was wrong.
She made me cringe.

he was
@Timmy Krecklow It's a pretty bold statement on JP's behalf to say that trying to combat an existential crisis like climate change is just a way of avoiding personal responsibility. It's 100% possible to try and improve yourself as a person and still tackle large scale issues like economic injustice.
@@ihatem2970 And female. I know that sounds sexist on it's face but more women than men tend to view life from an emotional viewpoint than a logical one.

They do not look good- either way....
The truth hurts and is indeed hard to swallow.
She thought that she could outsmart him, but oboy how stupid she looked when he sad that
Not just friends but family and anyone that they know.
Totally. And that's probably a key aspect of any activist mentality / memetic pattern (also driving religion): I have been trying to coach a guy half my age, historian & PhD candidate a bit lately. His schedule got derailed because of all his "social justice" activities. I told him exactly the same thing - and that was before I watched this video! Woo-hoo!
Years ago, where I used to lives as a kid, there was a saying - "A slum is the people, not the place." Which seems to be a corollary of what he's saying...
It’s interesting they say this because conservatives more often than liberals especially with the vaccines have failed to for fill their personal responsibilities

"No." I've waited my whole life to hear a simple answer like that in politics. No explanation, no comment to make it fit with the program or state that it's his own opinion; just a simple "No, that is incorrect." This here is a man who stands by what he believes.

Kinda sad that you're thinking has been so simplified, world isnt black and white, makes you easy to dupe
@@uncannyvalley2350 that sounds pretty simple to me

She shakes her head, because it obviously isn’t an answer to her question

Nailed it. Solid wisdom and common sense. Saw this insanity starting at a liberal college in South Africa in the 80's. As a young Christian I was scorned and despised, and couldn't understand why. I didn't make the connection between the liberals and the Communists. I hated Apartheid, I visited my black friends in their homes- taboo for whites back then- I was making myself and my immediate world better. Did they laud me? They ignored that. CHANGING THE GOVERNMENT TO A SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT WILL INVARIABLY LEAD TO COMMUNISM OR FASCISM AND REMOVAL OF FREEDOMS BECAUSE THEY ABSOLUTELY HATE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY BETTER THAN THEMSELVES AND WILL FALSELY ACCUSE AND PERSECUTE THEM AS HAS HAPPENED IN EVERY COMMUNIST COUNTRY. WITHOUT MAKING PEOPLE BETTER, SOCIETY GETS WORSE, YOU MUST GO ALONG WITH THEIR NARRATIVE, ANY INDIVIDUALITY IS SUPPRESSED. And we can't see this happening? We need to wake up!!
🎯💯
Rule 6: Set your house in order before you criticise the world.
Boom! That was the best and most diplomatic slam I've ever seen. She was shaking her head the whole time... not me...I'm perfect....
Well she has been told that her whole life so it must be true.
Mostly, I think the young lady doesn't connect with Peterson's point. She may be so far removed from it that she can't or won't accept it for what it is: truth and wisdom. Her reaction tells me she's discussed that Peterson chooses not to field her question directly, but to instead, answer her that by building good character in ones self, sound judgements will follow. Too bad the panel member intervened. Maybe if he hadn't, Peterson would have connected with her and other viewers.
Matt Voloshen - this is like the biggest leftie show in Australia. The thing that strikes me as odd on behalf of Jordan Peterson and whoever helped him pick and choose which media he would take part in is; this show is based around the idea that a panel of people have a very short time (1 min in most cases) to answer about complex social issues. They are basically forced to give very black or white answers to extremely complex issues, this adds to the polarisation of the subjects and makes you either for or against with almost no room for middle ground. As anyone who has heard Peterson speak, one minute is not long enough for him to give a full measured answer.
Not only am I perfect, but how can you be so dumb that youre not relinquishing your rights and let me dictate your life according to my esteemed views based on my farts.
Liberal propaganda and desparate white knights vying for her attention, constantly building her ego up, have her feeling quite "perfect" I'm sure
She couldn't handle the honest truth. Get your own life together before you spout off about how everyone else should live.
HOW DARE YOU
People like her are more than willing to line all who don't agree with their beliefs up against a wall to build their 'great society' one corpse at a time.

"people who don't have their own houses in order should be very careful before they go about reorganizing the world, which happens in many ways"
I felt that.. So wise
And you noticed the reaction of the overweight brainless young women when he said that. She was immediately triggered because he said something she couldn't comprehend.
@@Hoggdoc1946 it's possible that she was insulted. She thinks she is noble because she wants to save the planet from global warming. Maybe she was offended because Dr. Peterson said to her that one should fix their own problems first. I know. I would be offended. I am not saying that Dr. Peterson is wrong, but I understand why this girl was upset.
-Jordan Peterson
@@Jimfrenchde she was upset because she was in denial. She rejects his answer even tho it is true. She just shakes her head and blocks his opinion from even entering any state of thought process. It goes in in one ear and out on the other. She doesn't want to understand his opposing views. It's easier for her to just reject them so she does not have to deal with them or her own character.
I love it when he answers those eight-mile long questions with a simple, "No." :)

When I heard "father figures develop self control" I reflected on some of the misbehaving students I encountered as a teacher. After meeting with parents to discuss the situation, I frequently saw missing or ineffective fathers in the home.
The worst student I ever taught, who was uncontrollable, had been raised by a single mother who let him do whatever he wanted whenever, out all hours in primary school...
Parents should support teachers in the valuable work they do. That was how things were when I was at school. However these days parents confront teachers whenever they think that the teacher - probably quite rightly - gives their children low grades. No wonder that where I live there is a serious shortage of teachers. They are demoralised by the lack of support they are given in their work with unruly badly behaved students.
Hats off to you, Dennis. Your summary in this video is succint, eloquent, and as fine a statement of the core issues as I can remember hearing. Thank you for rendering such a service in such an hour of need.

You know people used to see a problem and be like, “How can I help fix that problem?” Now people think, “Well there’s a problem, who’s going to fix it? Not me, it’s not my job/ duty!”
The reason why activists exist is because people are thinking it's not their job to do something to fix the problem
I didnt get my autism diagnosis till i was 21, I have had several psychologists and several wrong diagnosis since I was 8, I was also taken from my family, and never got help, and dropped out of high school 5 times.

That’s because she’s a bigot.
Hey, she's been in college for three semesters, what can she learn from someone like Peterson?
People with indoctrinated notions imposed on them in brainwashing fashion, state education, will never see balance and reason.
That is the left...

They , like Derek above either are paid (in some way )shills or morons just as Derek says. Either they are evil idiots or just cannon fodder.

That's because they cannot respect different opinions, their ego feels threatened
Well it's interesting that Jordan kinda assumes that this lady doesn't have her house in order. It isn't so much a logical point as it is an implied insult based on assumed information. He might be right, maybe she is terrible at managing things, but he somewhat dodges the question by saying that she is focusing on the wrong things. You cant just assume that everyone is a train wreck who should focus on bettering themselves. Perhaps this lady is really put together and organized, the video really doesn't say. So for something like climate change, yeah you can recycle and bike to work instead of drive, but individual change isn't going to make a difference when companies and nations are outputting billions of tons of lousy stuff into the air on a daily basis.
@@joshtaylor9773 But he doesn't. He said "people who does not have their houses in order...", he didn't said anything of the lady. Also, the phrase "house in order" is commonly used by Dr. Peterson as a metaphorical way of saying "before judging others, be sure to have your life in order". This partly comes from Nietzschean philosophy where you need to put yourself to the limit for a considerable amount of time so you could someday be your full potential and a competent person. In a sense, i think that is the principle critic of Dr. Peterson to young folks. If you really want to improve your community, put yourself to the limit and invest in you in a way that someday you will be enough competent to adress the main problems of the society.
"You can't make society better unless you make the people better" because the people are society.

Have you changed how you heat/cool your home? Do you buy food that is shipped in from another part of the country or another country?...etc etc etc?
Cue the Crickets.
Do you own any plastic? 🤨

I've been following with since 1969 and The Population Bomb.
For the record I bought into it until the mid 80's. Started to have questions (what should the climate be?) and no answers, from the Sierra Club. Then alone came "State Of Fear" and 3 words that discribe thee global climate, COUPLED...NONLINEAR...CHAOTIC.
@@stevenwiederholt7000 I hear ya', I initially bought into it too until I did my due diligence...most people don't, they just parrot back what they hear on TV. BTW, Non-linear is the part that gets my attention...
"A free and decent country such as America" -- Denis Prager
It is so nice to live in the past. I wonder what decade he was referencing.
These are the same people who said you can be obese and still be healthy. That's when I tuned them out. Facts don't care about your feelings.
Jordan Peterson: No
Everyone: *claps*
Thx for liking guys

Wait.What?
Claps for everyone? Dude, Jordan ain't no Vietnamese hooker during wartime. LOL

Excellent!!! Jordan Peterson hit it out of the park here, and that poor gal couldn't handle the fact he wouldn't agree with her. Individual responsibility is indeed what this culture needs
2:05 the blonde woman is just casually sticking the bird 🤣🤣🤣
And thats why everyone who is in a position of power and has ever made a positive change in the world is well adjusted, and has had their life in complete order.
Dennis Prager...your explanation was perfect and has put into words what we are feeling...but never understood why we were feeling so helpless!! Thank you...
"Generally, people have things that are within their personal purview that are more difficult to deal with, which they are avoiding, and generally, the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo-moralistic stances on large scale social issues so that they look good to their friends and their neighbours."
- This is left wing activism in a nutshell. I don't think there could be a better description.
terah101 - I’m still stunned by it, too. It felt like a big bang of the left mentality.
It was the cutting truth statement of the CENTURY, but probably covers more like 5-10 centuries.
I don't have any friends, and my neighbours don't know me.
I lost all my friends and my neighbors became enemies when I voted for Trump in 2016. They all drive hybrids and electric cars.
Buster Wranks Stop jumping to conclusions and actually read what he said. He didn’t say only left wing activists do it.
Everyone appreciates "character improvement" in movies and/or video games and the like, and "character education" sounds like the real-life version of that principle.
Jordan Peterson is smart but his response just dodges the question. Also, his solution to improve the nutrition of kids in poor countries so that they can improve their intelligence is a gamble for climate change because by the time one of those kids devises a solution, it'll be too late
@@The3nlightened0ne Eh, lot of climate change predictions have been wrong so far, and considering that a forest is growing in the Sahara, Nature can sort herself out.
@@hanzlim7198 He is a troll. he keeps saying the same thing over and over. Anyone can copy and paste. Look.
Anyone can copy and paste.
and that was from another post of mine. By the way thanks for the news on the report of the forest in the Sahara. First I heard of it. THe main stream news haven't said anything. I'm shocked I tell you . Shocked.
He didn’t answer the question and just espoused a theory on personal responsibility that didn’t actually address the issue/question. He didn’t school anything, he smartly answered a question he wasn’t asked.
His “no” came without an actual explanation on how to resolve the actual issue being addressed. Then resumed making a well articulated statement on a different matter.
This is a skilled magician at work whose performances are being used to perpetuate “echo chambers” of thought. Without a doubt he is smart and a very good speaker, but he frequently isn’t actually making arguments against the actual issues being raised. He is redirecting and taking advantage of his opponents being unprepared to handle the redirection.
There is an old Taoist saying,
"If you want to change the world,
Change yourself first."
This video should be watched by every communist.
Too true.
Do you have the source? I looked it up on Google but can't find it attributed to Taoism. In fact I can't find the source at all.

"If the people don't have self control, the state will have to control them."

Edit: wasn't expecting this to blow up 😂
This is why the state mustn't control education. It can create the kind of easily-led and easily-stampeded ignoramuses that are amenable to top-down controls.
@@harrymills2770, the State always controlled education like everything else. Don't know what you're talking about.
Dennis Sphatt always is a long time. Did the state control education in the early 1800’s? 1700s? 1400’s? Always? Does the state control private educational institutions? Always?
@@Walkeranz, as long as institutions existed.
@@Walkeranz Indoctrination in schools did occur during the early times as well. Example, they had reprogramming schools for Native Americans(in Canada at least). Now this is a more extreme form, but it's basically the same thing.

When the term, "activism," is used, I automatically assume a hypocrite passing the blame to workers and good people and not accepting responsibility.
Activism (to me seems like).. How schools seems to promote this foolishness of promoting yourself, and rebelling against social structures, before you even have a clue about being a mature person.

Absolutely true,my young colleague here in England said we have so much of everything, that we get bored and start to look for something to complain and moan about.
Even better
In a "perfect" world people would damage/destroy stuff just to cause some chaos.. so they're not bored to death
Have you seen the ancient movie "Things to come"?
thats not what he was saying though, he was saying as a consequence of the previous generations' individual improvement, collectively that lead to the activist having a better quality of life, and that she should, instead of complaining, pick up rubbish when she sees it on the street (and recycle etc.)
Yes, another way to see it is rather we have so much free time by not doing what we know we should do and to stave off boredom we funnel ourself in consumerism of material psychological product and subscribing to an ideology to feel better.
Yup this is true. We have become lazy as a society.
"[...] so that they look good to their friends and their neighbours." This sentence ages like fine wine

“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.” -Benjamin Franklin
A lot of people would be offended by this statement these days.
Yes, mostly those who lack in virtue.
lsmith0287 people are offended by everything now and they insist on making it other people’s problem lol
THAT is the quote that comes to mind.
The Founders were a wise bunch. BECAUSE they discussed and debated imoortant topics, in public and through the written word. They EXPLORED TRUTH and therefore got closer to finding it... instead of silencing differing viewpoints, they actively sought out challengers and hoped to figure things out for the benefit of all!
@@DarrenSemotiuk: Precisely! And, the Founders also had a steel-trap grasp on their understandIng of human nature.
A lot of people should be offended by it, but they are so self-deluded, they believe they are virtuous (thus the term "virtue signal"). As Dennis said so well, they have been cheated of character development.

I remember when everyone was talking about a huge hole in the ozone layer, but now no one is talking about how its closed. You would think that the "environmentalist" would be talking about it but nope.
If you arent mature enough to clean your own room, then you arent mature enough to own and maintain your own home, let alone be in a leadership position to control and maintain others and the lives of others.
I am speechless with how much I agree to every single point made by Jordan and Dennis. So incredibly well spoken.
Yeah, I actually wanted to disagree and hate what he was saying, thinking it to be propaganda and bull shit, but every single word was accurate. I think that's more worrying than if it had been lies to be honest... I can see why the left want to not believe it.
@@fleecemaster And thats what we need. People who no matter how much they may hate it will at least consider it.

“Social issues have replaced character education” - These words are true today.
A ' Hive-mind ' ideology needs every individual person within the collective to focus on the same 1 task at a time , ' character building ' requires every 1 person to focus on being the very best version of themselves . If you can't afford to support yourself then how can you be expected to support everyone else ? You have to become ' good ' for you before you can become ' good ' for the rest of us .
