Something that I've noticed with this whole narrative on how "Jordan Peterson targets predominately white males"... "Jordan Peterson writes self-help for young, angry men"... Well, let's say that is correct for the sake of argument, okay? Why don't young men or men in bad positions get to hear someone with a voice which connects with them? Why is it wrong to help that demographic of human being "feel better" or "improve themselves"? There's all kinds of books written for women that get praised. All kinds of books that target audiences predominately of one ethnic background or another. Hell, there's books that target mainly homosexuals. Are "insecure men" "angry men"... etc... not deserving of help? Do they deserve to feel poorly? Even if you're answer to this is "well, Peterson's writing or lectures don't help anyone!"... Okay, well... I could say that about anyone who wrote a self-help book. The question still remains - why is it wrong that Peterson appeals to a certain demographic? Why don't you care about the COUNTLESS other authors who appeal to a different demographic?
I love "even if" arguments. It frames the oppositions opinion as a best case scenario, and in this instance it proves that JP's critics would be hypocrites to not criticize black female authors for writing books that empower black women. again, that's assuming nameless black female author is only targeting black females. Indeed, as Hemmingway said, well done.
Why is it presumed bad that Peterson talks to men? Because in our gynocentric western civilization men are seen as inherently bad. Therefore ANYTHING made specifically or solely for men is automatically bad. This is why men are not allowed to have men only clubs, while women can have women only anything. Never mind that men built all of civilization and protected it with our very lives, FOR our women and children. Feminists rage against the mythical "Patriarchy", yet they claim that Feminism fights for men as well. Their ideological boogey man is named after men. "Toxic masculinity", "dead beat dads", "wife beaters", etc, ad nauseum. More men than women die from testicular cancer than women die from ovarian cancer. And women's cancer research garners ten times the money. And very few people care that men's health is mostly ignored. Go to wwwDOTwomenshealthDOTgov and tell me what you see. Then go to wwwDOTmenshealthDOTgov and tell me what you see. Three quarters of the homeless are men yet all of the magazine articles are either "homelessness" in general or about women's homelessness specifically. When was the last time you heard anyone say "Oh stop whining and just woman up."? Men hear "man up" all the time. It's irrelevant that Peterson isn't targeting men, it's the fact that men are profiting from his work. Men aren't supposed to be benefiting from anything. Only women are allowed to benefit and profit. Because muh sexism.
Richard Glenn Exactly. And the fact that he talks about religion, human nature and the meaning of life implies that he's concerned with basically everyone anyway. Kind of a wider remit than the average "self help guru".
That is completely false. It has been well-documented that kings of medieval times routinely drove Bentley's with only the most attractive Instagram models in the back seat.
Henry VIII ate roasted sparrows in a pigeon’s mouth. The pigeon was in a dog’s mouth. The dog was coated in sugar and peanuts. The dog was cooked sitting on a deer. The dog was wearing a suit and jacket, so as to look like some guy the king thought was a twat. The deer was laid on a silver platter on the table. One hundred and twenty-eight other dishes were also on the table. If anyone criticised the king, they might have to run away to France. But yeah, anyone is that rich and powerful in a western nation.
Yeah no fucking shit sherlock where'd you come up with that one? We're like ages ahead of them technologically so obviously we have a "higher living standard" you fuckhead. Also, you're not even right about that either because living standards include things like status too, I can't tell anyone in my life what to do and have it done immediately, and I certainly am not getting laid as much as a medival european king either. I also don't own/have access to an entire KINGDOM you fucktard.
This comment section is absolutely pathetic. Go clean your room! Homeboy is dropping straight logic and people saying "oh he keeps saying the samething" well stop asking the same question lmaooo
I feel like anyone who has been listening to Peterson, Rogan, Weinstein, Pinker, etc gets this idea by now: hierarchies are useful and necessary but should also be monitored for abuses of power or oppression of the powerless.
Again and again I see people criticising Peterson without critiquing his message. They listen to a video full of substance and a myriad of thoughts, and their comments are usually "he's not as smart as people think." Fucks sake, at least say how or why.
Being against the patriarchy is being against men in authority, period. In other words, it is not a complaint against incompetent authority, it is a complaint against the authority figure being a MAN. That is misandry.
Sometimes Hierarchy is determined by things other than skill or seniority. Paterson says himself that disagreeableness is one factor that plays a positive role in career advancement.
my two cents on a tiny portion of this segment - some power games played by the corrupt (oh, wait - and some well meaning persons as well) come in the guise of "hey. you. person - i'm trying to help you! let's turn over that apple cart because that cart owner *must* have done something evil to have something you don't!" that notion is appealing and romantic to those who have not done their pushups to own apple carts. ....as an adult - I find I no longer enjoy the story or Robin Hood or of Peter Pan.
Social media has made a mess of some things. Like accusations of prejudice and discrimination you see these days on social media. Many times these stories (told from only one side) are very far from what had actually happened. Before the person would deal with the matter with the person, company or government directly, instead of crying for attention from all the people who can't even help them. I hate it.
For most of human history, there were no jobs or schools or elections. People lived on the land and grew their own food. The whole day was made up of working for food to survive. Men worked the fields, and women worked in the house raising kids and cooking. The man built a house to provide for his wife and family. Women were provided for and protected. For every wealthy man, there was a wealthy woman, most of whom had maids and servants. Women stayed at home while the men fought off invaders or went to war and got killed.
Thank you Joe Rogan for stopping Jordan and pursuing the question on why he thinks suppression of women in the past as a preposterous notion. My head would have exploded if you hadn’t.
Sadly those reflexive reactions are why so many people seem to hate JBP. Congratulations for listening and hearing the argument instead of jumping straight on Twitter and joining the rest of the screeching mob.
Yeah I mean in the past we used to not get jobs nor were we even played the same. I am so grateful that today I can have whatever career I want and still get payed the same for each hour I work. On top of that women can now hold positions of power. We have women in the Senate we literally have a woman that's our vice president. We got female supreme court judges. We got female mayors. We got female CEO's. Etc. So compared to women back then we got it good and women back then were for sure oppressed. I don't see how it's ridiculous. I mean just compare what women can so not to back then. It's very different.
Jordan Peterson is an existentialist. I agree with some things he says and others not so much. But his main ideas - that enforced speech is atrocious, natural hierarchies are good (not the corruption of them), and the Western tradition undergirding them must be supported - are things I get behind not just theoretically but practically because I've actually lived in places outside the West. The Western hierarchy is the LEAST corrupt. IMO, the West is best.
He's not an existentialist at all! He's constantly saying that humans are to a large extent influenced by their biological bagagge and not by their free will.
Yet "the Left" always thinks immigrants come from cultures superior to ours. Many of these cultures bring things like honor killings, arranged marriages and female circumcision. Our culture is thought to be corrupt and oppressive. Then why are people dying to come here? Because our system works. People are free. A man can earn a living -- and women, too. People can live their dream. Our forefathers did many, many, many things right. But they don't teach that in liberal universities. They teach how awful we've always been. Their thinking is 1-dimensional because these pampered, entitled professors have never really experienced life outside of their liberal enclaves. Most have no real way to compare living here to living anywhere else. Our Founding Fathers were flawed, but they were geniuses who invented the best political system from whole cloth, and borrowing their philosophies from the very best thinkers throughout history. They didn't always live up to their own ideals, but who does?
What makes you think they don't corrupt. Corruption is a natural part of a hierarchy's cycle, it's the death of such an order. The end or death of something is part of the nature of anything that exists. Historically, all hierarchies start off good or at the least functional. With time, interests shift towards gaining power for the sake of power until the society under that hierarchy begins to fall apart and eventually collapses. Our society is no different from any other in that sense and it's because humans are still exactly the same as the humans from back then. We like to think we are modern to the point that we will never repeat the mistakes and patterns of the past but alas, I think it's futile. When you study enough human history you begin to recognize the patterns and reflect that on your own, only to realize that we are no different. If things don't change at all, in 30 years or so, we will begin to see the beginning of the end. Don't expect any apocalyptical fireworks though, the collapse of a society is subtle and over extended periods of time, when people finally notice, it's already to late to do anything significant about it. At least most of us will be old and potentially senile when things get real bad, hey maybe we'll even be dead when the worse happens and that's at least comforting to me....
B S Insane? Maybe. But making this point doesn’t prove it. Name another government that has lasted as long, and enriched its citizens as much - while defeating world-wide evil. I’ll wait for your answer.
What about the people that tip the scales in favor of people that are like them or their kin, in this competition/game of life? We can't look at life solely as a competition. Something feels off about that type of thinking.
Competition in the economy turns unhealthy and goes top down. The winners never allow the losera to participate again to learn to become better then they shit on them for being losers... The economy is not a sport. It should not be treated like one. It just makes people one up each other instead of actually producing anything of true value that the consumers demand. Cooperation is more important. In my opinion.
I heard this podcast for like 3rd time now And whenever I hear this exact same podcast again and again I get a more deeper understanding of what he's saying and gets more info through it Idk if it's me who's not attentive enough to watch or it goes over my head as a first time listener and then get the meaning once I watch the same podcast again after few months.
This is why i love mr.peterson He takes the stand on conservative and also takes the point of leftist to give an to an absolute clarity without any bias This is true intellectual ❤
I can't stop listening to Jordan B Peterson speak, and I am currently reading his book 12 Rules for Life. Jordan has opened my eyes to many thoughts and ideas and pushed me into a new deep state of introspection and extrospection. in the words of Mr. Spock "fascinating"
I dont have a problem with hierarchies existing. The only thing that's always puzzled me is why is their such disassociation between members, depending on their position within that hierarchy? For example, why doesnt a corporate CEO sit down and eat lunch and socialize with a group of lunchpail-carrying hourly workers? Why does there HAVE to be a social disconnect based on professional/economical position? The term segregation is considered taboo, yet we practice it every single day.
In the book Power vs Force, David R. Hawkins describes levels of consciousness (LOC) that range from Shame (1-20), Guilt(20-30), Apathy (30-50), all the way up to Joy(540- 600), Peace (600-700), and Enlightenment (700-1000). Think of them like notes from tuning forks if that helps. Some levels can resonate well with others that are close (enough) to their own level, yet others seem incomprehensible to each other because of how different they are. How many of us Truly understand or appreciate the Great Works, religions, scientific theories of civilizations, or even Triage (which, as a concept, needs a LOC of 350 to understand.) My guess is that the CEO level characters are (more?) commonly up around the 400's (Level of Reason) and the "lunch pail workers", as you said, probably are around 310- 350 (Willingness and Acceptance) at best, and more likely/ commonly in around 185 (Pride) or further down.
I feel one of the reasons a CEO doesnt eat with his workers or socializes on a normal level is he/she may have to reprimand/discipline or even fire those employees, which can cause an unhealthy social dynamic, the employees may start to feel as if their equals in regard to their status at the company, the CEO may not be able to adequately run/make decisions for the betterment of the company and the most for their employees. If a CEO had real emotional attachments to their employees, their job becomes more difficult to make rational decisions
@@ilovejettrooper5922 I'm sorry, but this "theory" sounds like bullshit. There are the most successful people who are still motivated by the shame from deep within, as well as there are apathetic but peaceful people. There's all kinds of folks and we all feel those different emotions to a certain extent, to say that "one person is above the other in some imaginary hierarchy of consciousness because they have more points which map one-to-one onto the emotions" is just riddiculous, we have a multitude of emotions going through us every day. If you want to convince yourself of your higher status because you feel more joy and have more points of consciousness than Jimmy R. Schmuck downstairs, go ahead, but don't kid yourself that that's a moral stand that is actually moral, that is aimed at making the society better. What you want is ideas that bring people together, not segregate them into 'levels'. Everyone feels the preexisting "levels" in the society, let's mitigate the pain and not multiplicate it by pretending there's something unrepairable about consciousness itself.
Problems that need solutions employ problem solving. The first step of understanding the solution and that you are part of the solution is to understand the problem and that you are part of the problem.
On the example of the plumber I would have to say this. Competency is important but power does play a role. Dr. Peterson talks about our criteria for hiring a plumber but does not talk to the larger market forces that make certain plumbers more hireable. We have quality criteria but also price criteria, so it's not about whether employees are treated fairly. In any organisation the value of the work an employee does is necessarily more than their wage (that's what makes it profitable to hire them). So we can conceive of an organisation that underpays it's workers and consolidates the market to remove other competition. Both of these are acts of power. There is obviously competence involved in enacting the consolidation because it's easy for a business to go bankrupt if they over leverage on acquisitions.
With regard to getting a job after college; some ideas are true, and others are not true. Getting a job after college depends on many factors. I'm sure many people will disagree with me and that is fine, but let us express our disagreements in a civil manner.
It seems that what at least I understand patriarchal tyranny to be and what Mr Peterson understands it to be are two different things. You live in the west, you have made a lot more progress, good for you. My understanding of patriarchal tyranny is not based on profession, it is not only power exerted in a hierarchical business, it is the societal interpretation of interpersonal relationships between men and women. And that creates a mindset where men must be dominant, women must be submissive, and it clears the path to misogyny and on the extremes, explicit abuse. In more concrete terms, this leads a country to not respond to a domestic violence call because household issues must be resolved by the head of the house who is often times the abuser, leading to a surge of murder of women by their husbands that go unpunished if argued that it is within their right because she defied his honor. And before you jump the gun and argue that this is the result of the islamic religion, I’m talking about a country with 50% christian population and with a christian president. Just because you have a better life doesn’t mean these things don’t exist anymore. That’s a fact.
Totally. I don’t quite get how he can always simply ignore this fact. Something within him seems to prevent him from ever recognizing the existence of this hierarchy of man over women for centuries that still naturally has traces in our society
even right wingers don't like Peterson the guy is in it for the money and nothing else, the only people who think "wash you penis" and "clean your room bucko" is the greatest thing ever said still like him.
@@Chacaraman I'm right, i like the arguements he makes and his logical thought is discussiona where logic seems to be thrown out thw window. His of the cuff funny comments are alright. Hes in a position to make alot of money, fair play to him for doing so. I suspect just aboit anyone with a decent amount of intellect qould do the same. Especially considering the amounf of hate and lawsuits he gets, the mans aloud to make money. The majority of people just like to hear what he has to say.
bro what, jordan might be the least funny person ive ever heard. lol ive listened to so much of him and he never made me laugh i just laugh at him lmao. like when he walked to the desk on bill mahers show that shit made me laugh for some reason but he never said anything funny
If you’re commenting on RUclips, you’re hardly a person who is experiencing any suffering. Suffering, and I mean ACTUAL suffering, barely even exists in any part of the world. Just look at the homeless. They are making, for the most part, a lifestyle decision. They actually enjoy their lives and prefer to continue it, at least temporarily.
no one seems to possess the judgement to successfully identify the unjustly dispossessed, let alone to determine the means by which to eradicate the injustice.
Trifecta what you’re saying would only work if human nature was inherently good which is not the case or if people were indoctrinated with a sense of altruism which is extremely difficult
@Kimmminem West Are you kidding me? Then why do political divides exist? Why do people, for instance, constantly argue between implementing policies that would work towards equality of opportunity or equality of outcome?
I've experienced both patriarchal and matriarchal Tyranny, and both suck ass, because it does not suit me personally, however some people like it for they like their status in that system. I never did and never will, unless i'm at the top, and even then, it's not for me, i'm not that person that wants or desires that much responsibility. But sure, give me personal control and power any day, so i can enjoy my personal freedom
at least im not a liar and furthered sjw nonsense because i wanted a show with dr oz and my satanic agency needed me to prove that i was on there side. peterson also helped write agenda 21 him and joe rogan are both shills because they want a spot with the elite. agenda 21 literally is a plan to make america like the hunger games and these cucks wanna join the capital. they are controlled by the material and because they wanna join the capital they are fucking over the people immediately by being shills for even a second. bill gates literally has a ted talk saying that he wants to get the population down and agenda 21 is bill gates project. i know you joe rogan fans must wonder why he has changed, and it is because of this. there is a shit ton of evidence for this watch owen benjamins stream called the price of freedom he goes into great detail he also has true integrity.
yeah its sad that you think so. their bullshit works quite well that you dismiss the truth when you hear it, well its nothing new bro but that shit is just true research it and its blatant
@@ClarityFB /\ /\ /\ lol such a typical response from a JP fan. Agenda 21 is not a big deal btw and JP definitely was not involved in writing it. Firstly Agenda 21 is just a 1992 plan for sustainable development within 8 yrs, and it has absolutely no force behind it. It did and does nothing. Secondly, psychologists are 2nd or 3rd tier intellectuals and don't have the writing skills to draft important documents like Agenda 21. He claims he helped write a different, much less important, document 20yrs later, however I think that's BS because anybody that has heard him speak for 2min would never hire him to write.
I never knew that statistic of the 1%. Where can I find that because that's actually mind boggling to know that if you make more than $32,000 a year then you are part of the 1%
That might be a rough figure. Just imagine to determine that you are in a certain percentage you need percentile. For percentile you need to have a data of earnings of all the people on the earth. That data is compiled from income tax returns Now so many people have black money which is not taken into consideration.
For years nursing has been known for its bullying. In fact I recall reading an article allied something like “Nurses eat their young” nearly 20 years ago. I’d prefer to work for a man anytime. Worst bosses I have ever had were women.
Ironically, as a woman, I've found female police to be much more aggressive in a negative way than the male cops. I won't go into the whole story of my abuse by a sadistic narcissist, so let's just say my husband with 30 years of intense martial arts and also gift for fighting even amongst the other elite in his field of Navy SEALs, FBI, and police, who I also met as my self-defense teacher, and had been , faithfully married to for 15 years at that time, raped me, and then the next night called the cops on me for going apeshit. I admit it. I was off the fucking chart. So, the cops come, and I stupidly told my kids to just let them in, because I didn't want to leave my bedroom. The cops come up, one man and one woman. The man did his job, asked me the typical questions, and was clearly uncomfortable being in my bedroom while I sat in my underwear and T-shirt. Then, he respectfully retreated downstairs. The little blond girl wouldn't leave, even after I told her my husband had attacked me, held me down in my bed, ripped off my clothes, and told me he, "won't have a wife that he can't fuck." She stayed. I asked her, fairly nicely to leave me the fuck alone. She stayed, as if intruding on my personal space meant something to her beyond her job. I got up, in my underwear, stood over her face (I am 5'9" and she was no more than 5'4", and looked her right in the face saying, "Are you fucking stupid? You are a woman!" I am lucky I didn't get arrested. I am not proud of losing my grip. But it wasn't the first time female cops have been a pain in the ass, while male cops were helpful. I slept at the beach for three months after my rape, and one night I arrived and threw my truck door open, barfing and heaving like an animal. The funny thing is this is a beach neighborhood that is considered the second most affluent in the state of CA, and I thought the cops there must be dicks, since, you know, rich people get protected better. But no. I told him a summary of why I was there, and told him, I was not crazy or drunk, just needed to be safe. He literally slumped in his posture with empathy and asked me if there was anything he could do. I think we forget that men are designed to be heroic. They need to be heroic. That is why video games are so important for young men, because there aren't any chances for them to do what they are designed to do--fight, protect, and hunt. Sure, when men are evil, they have the power to reign pain and destruction upon us. But I don't think that is what most men want. They want to do what their evolution designed them to do, save the weak, and the children. When society creates an obstacle to that, it either causes men depression or aggression. And I think they understand abuse better than women. I mean, why else would the woman cop be a bitch? And why in the world would a cop outside 20-50 million dollar homes that sees a woman in an old truck, barfing out her door, not think I was a threat or menace? He probably would not have been so kind had I been a man doing the same. It is weird, but I think striving to find the symbiosis is the key. Women typically want to nurture and care. Men want to protect and defeat anyone who takes resources from their people. If one side dominates, we all lose. And when women try to be men, we all lose. Modern society is cutting off men's balls. What will we do if all men turn feminine here, while other places in the world they are still fighters? We will die.
There's this relatively new complaint from leftists that Jordan just keeps talking about the same things. Jordan talks about many topics, but he keeps getting asked about this particular topic because people gravitate towards hearing truth especially when it's suppressed by the mainstream. Jordan can stop talking about this the day that radical leftists stop repeating the same illogical feminist NPC nonsense about patriarchy and social justice. It would be really convenient for the left if Jordan would just shut up and go away which is exactly why he cannot stop until the mainstream finally wakes up to the truth which could take years.
@Jay Grey headspace is good. i've not used it that much but i have a lot of time for sam harris...i read his book waking up, he got me into meditation so it's good that he's released something that i can support and get benefit from
I feel like the point is being missed in a few areas; if more men are opposed than woman (still vague as to what area and if sexual oppression counts as anything less than her rights as a human being) it doesn’t justify oppression, period. Consuming capital doesn’t make you part of the problem, allowing capitalist to fuck the system based only on money or the promise of money is the problem and you can’t blame anyone for that except are government. Do people tend to victimize themselves? Yes, whether it’s Peterson feeling bad for not getting laid or a woman feeling bad for not being as good at something as a guy right away for any reason. I’m still trying to understand the weight of matriarchal tyranny, as a guy I can hear what guys say behind women’s backs and I know girls say the same, so I figure its up to what they are allowed to do; maybe there’s a social barrier, but that’s more mental/personal, since around the corner could be a “society” that gets down with that. Idk; those were my thoughts.
if you understand anything about Foulcault usage of the world "power" you wouldn´t make fullish image about mafioso plumbesr etc. power in Foulcault is a much broader concept than that exemple sugests.
Foucault never said hierarchies are only determined through power. Just a fabrication or a misinterpretation (if I'm being generous). Say a professor becomes a University President, where the sole factor of his ascension in the hierarchy was stellar scholarship, that ascension, even though not conditioned on the grounds of power, inevitably increases his power. Foucault just meant that knowledge and power and competence and power imply each other, that they are interdependent.

Being against the patriarchy is being against men in authority, period. In other words, it is not a complaint against incompetent authority, it is a complaint against the authority figure being a MAN. That is misandry.

Most intelligent discussion regarding societies and the social constructs that create societies always include Jordan for some reason.
Wow, you guys get these out quick.
Sometimes Hierarchy is determined by things other than skill or seniority. Paterson says himself that disagreeableness is one factor that plays a positive role in career advancement.
He never said 100% of hierarchies are based on competence. He admitted some are corrupt.
@@PoliticallyAffiliated many are power based .
@@nightheist2191 “he admitted some are corrupt”
Yeah, I mentioned that. No system is perfect.
Every patriarchal tornado was fostered by Mother nature.
Uses hockey to describe hierarchies.
Canadian, eh?
my two cents on a tiny portion of this segment - some power games played by the corrupt (oh, wait - and some well meaning persons as well) come in the guise of "hey. you. person - i'm trying to help you! let's turn over that apple cart because that cart owner *must* have done something evil to have something you don't!"
that notion is appealing and romantic to those who have not done their pushups to own apple carts. ....as an adult - I find I no longer enjoy the story or Robin Hood or of Peter Pan.
Right, it's almost as if the more responsible you are for yourself, the less you believe people should be responsible for other people's burdens.
Great Podcast. I heard Jordan on another talk, he's a wealth of knowledge.
Social media has made a mess of some things. Like accusations of prejudice and discrimination you see these days on social media. Many times these stories (told from only one side) are very far from what had actually happened. Before the person would deal with the matter with the person, company or government directly, instead of crying for attention from all the people who can't even help them. I hate it.
This was a great clip! Thank you!
He took the words right out of my mouth. A lot of men have also been oppressed throughout history.
For most of human history, there were no jobs or schools or elections. People lived on the land and grew their own food. The whole day was made up of working for food to survive. Men worked the fields, and women worked in the house raising kids and cooking. The man built a house to provide for his wife and family. Women were provided for and protected. For every wealthy man, there was a wealthy woman, most of whom had maids and servants. Women stayed at home while the men fought off invaders or went to war and got killed.
@tubester4567 Then we worked so hard we men built this metropolitan society. Now we're unappreciated.
One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Where had this been and wht isn't this being taught in schools.
Great podcast 🙌👍

Thank you Joe Rogan for stopping Jordan and pursuing the question on why he thinks suppression of women in the past as a preposterous notion. My head would have exploded if you hadn’t.
Sadly those reflexive reactions are why so many people seem to hate JBP. Congratulations for listening and hearing the argument instead of jumping straight on Twitter and joining the rest of the screeching mob.
Yeah I mean in the past we used to not get jobs nor were we even played the same. I am so grateful that today I can have whatever career I want and still get payed the same for each hour I work. On top of that women can now hold positions of power. We have women in the Senate we literally have a woman that's our vice president. We got female supreme court judges. We got female mayors. We got female CEO's. Etc. So compared to women back then we got it good and women back then were for sure oppressed. I don't see how it's ridiculous. I mean just compare what women can so not to back then. It's very different.
Jordan Peterson is an existentialist. I agree with some things he says and others not so much. But his main ideas - that enforced speech is atrocious, natural hierarchies are good (not the corruption of them), and the Western tradition undergirding them must be supported - are things I get behind not just theoretically but practically because I've actually lived in places outside the West. The Western hierarchy is the LEAST corrupt. IMO, the West is best.
He's not an existentialist at all! He's constantly saying that humans are to a large extent influenced by their biological bagagge and not by their free will.
Yet "the Left" always thinks immigrants come from cultures superior to ours. Many of these cultures bring things like honor killings, arranged marriages and female circumcision. Our culture is thought to be corrupt and oppressive. Then why are people dying to come here? Because our system works. People are free. A man can earn a living -- and women, too. People can live their dream. Our forefathers did many, many, many things right. But they don't teach that in liberal universities. They teach how awful we've always been. Their thinking is 1-dimensional because these pampered, entitled professors have never really experienced life outside of their liberal enclaves. Most have no real way to compare living here to living anywhere else. Our Founding Fathers were flawed, but they were geniuses who invented the best political system from whole cloth, and borrowing their philosophies from the very best thinkers throughout history. They didn't always live up to their own ideals, but who does?
What makes you think they don't corrupt. Corruption is a natural part of a hierarchy's cycle, it's the death of such an order. The end or death of something is part of the nature of anything that exists. Historically, all hierarchies start off good or at the least functional. With time, interests shift towards gaining power for the sake of power until the society under that hierarchy begins to fall apart and eventually collapses. Our society is no different from any other in that sense and it's because humans are still exactly the same as the humans from back then. We like to think we are modern to the point that we will never repeat the mistakes and patterns of the past but alas, I think it's futile. When you study enough human history you begin to recognize the patterns and reflect that on your own, only to realize that we are no different. If things don't change at all, in 30 years or so, we will begin to see the beginning of the end. Don't expect any apocalyptical fireworks though, the collapse of a society is subtle and over extended periods of time, when people finally notice, it's already to late to do anything significant about it. At least most of us will be old and potentially senile when things get real bad, hey maybe we'll even be dead when the worse happens and that's at least comforting to me....
@@graymatters7584 The best political system? Are you insane?

What about the people that tip the scales in favor of people that are like them or their kin, in this competition/game of life? We can't look at life solely as a competition. Something feels off about that type of thinking.
Competition in the economy turns unhealthy and goes top down. The winners never allow the losera to participate again to learn to become better then they shit on them for being losers...
The economy is not a sport. It should not be treated like one. It just makes people one up each other instead of actually producing anything of true value that the consumers demand. Cooperation is more important.

I heard this podcast for like 3rd time now
And whenever I hear this exact same podcast again and again I get a more deeper understanding of what he's saying and gets more info through it
Idk if it's me who's not attentive enough to watch or it goes over my head as a first time listener and then get the meaning once I watch the same podcast again after few months.
He could get the most dope wizard beard

Jordan is so precise all of the time, an amazing human
He's precise if you swallow the snake oil he's selling indeed. If you have an understanding of strawmen you might think differently
This is why i love mr.peterson
He takes the stand on conservative and also takes the point of leftist to give an to an absolute clarity without any bias
This is true intellectual ❤
I can't stop listening to Jordan B Peterson speak, and I am currently reading his book 12 Rules for Life. Jordan has opened my eyes to many thoughts and ideas and pushed me into a new deep state of introspection and extrospection. in the words of Mr. Spock "fascinating"
"I'm cooperating here!"
Your gonna want that true coat
Peterson looks great

lol xD
Slowenia was mentioned. :)
Arguments as brilliant as that suit. So shiny.
I dont have a problem with hierarchies existing. The only thing that's always puzzled me is why is their such disassociation between members, depending on their position within that hierarchy? For example, why doesnt a corporate CEO sit down and eat lunch and socialize with a group of lunchpail-carrying hourly workers? Why does there HAVE to be a social disconnect based on professional/economical position? The term segregation is considered taboo, yet we practice it every single day.
In the book Power vs Force, David R. Hawkins describes levels of consciousness (LOC) that range from Shame (1-20), Guilt(20-30), Apathy (30-50), all the way up to Joy(540- 600), Peace (600-700), and Enlightenment (700-1000). Think of them like notes from tuning forks if that helps. Some levels can resonate well with others that are close (enough) to their own level, yet others seem incomprehensible to each other because of how different they are. How many of us Truly understand or appreciate the Great Works, religions, scientific theories of civilizations, or even Triage (which, as a concept, needs a LOC of 350 to understand.) My guess is that the CEO level characters are (more?) commonly up around the 400's (Level of Reason) and the "lunch pail workers", as you said, probably are around 310- 350 (Willingness and Acceptance) at best, and more likely/ commonly in around 185 (Pride) or further down.
I feel one of the reasons a CEO doesnt eat with his workers or socializes on a normal level is he/she may have to reprimand/discipline or even fire those employees, which can cause an unhealthy social dynamic, the employees may start to feel as if their equals in regard to their status at the company, the CEO may not be able to adequately run/make decisions for the betterment of the company and the most for their employees. If a CEO had real emotional attachments to their employees, their job becomes more difficult to make rational decisions
@@ilovejettrooper5922 I'm sorry, but this "theory" sounds like bullshit. There are the most successful people who are still motivated by the shame from deep within, as well as there are apathetic but peaceful people. There's all kinds of folks and we all feel those different emotions to a certain extent, to say that "one person is above the other in some imaginary hierarchy of consciousness because they have more points which map one-to-one onto the emotions" is just riddiculous, we have a multitude of emotions going through us every day. If you want to convince yourself of your higher status because you feel more joy and have more points of consciousness than Jimmy R. Schmuck downstairs, go ahead, but don't kid yourself that that's a moral stand that is actually moral, that is aimed at making the society better. What you want is ideas that bring people together, not segregate them into 'levels'. Everyone feels the preexisting "levels" in the society, let's mitigate the pain and not multiplicate it by pretending there's something unrepairable about consciousness itself.
I agree with everything said... I just also feel that the checks and balances need to be improved
Very informative and civil.
gg @joe and @jordan
Problems that need solutions employ problem solving. The first step of understanding the solution and that you are part of the solution is to understand the problem and that you are part of the problem.
that is what it means. The powerful oppress the powerless when it pleases them
Look at him go, "conflate", "foolhardy". When talking to JP, Joe breaks out them big words ;)
On the example of the plumber I would have to say this. Competency is important but power does play a role. Dr. Peterson talks about our criteria for hiring a plumber but does not talk to the larger market forces that make certain plumbers more hireable. We have quality criteria but also price criteria, so it's not about whether employees are treated fairly. In any organisation the value of the work an employee does is necessarily more than their wage (that's what makes it profitable to hire them). So we can conceive of an organisation that underpays it's workers and consolidates the market to remove other competition. Both of these are acts of power. There is obviously competence involved in enacting the consolidation because it's easy for a business to go bankrupt if they over leverage on acquisitions.
Except most plumbers are self employed and don't work for companies
With regard to getting a job after college; some ideas are true, and others are not true. Getting a job after college depends on many factors. I'm sure many people will disagree with me and that is fine, but let us express our disagreements in a civil manner.
It seems that what at least I understand patriarchal tyranny to be and what Mr Peterson understands it to be are two different things. You live in the west, you have made a lot more progress, good for you. My understanding of patriarchal tyranny is not based on profession, it is not only power exerted in a hierarchical business, it is the societal interpretation of interpersonal relationships between men and women. And that creates a mindset where men must be dominant, women must be submissive, and it clears the path to misogyny and on the extremes, explicit abuse. In more concrete terms, this leads a country to not respond to a domestic violence call because household issues must be resolved by the head of the house who is often times the abuser, leading to a surge of murder of women by their husbands that go unpunished if argued that it is within their right because she defied his honor. And before you jump the gun and argue that this is the result of the islamic religion, I’m talking about a country with 50% christian population and with a christian president. Just because you have a better life doesn’t mean these things don’t exist anymore. That’s a fact.
Totally. I don’t quite get how he can always simply ignore this fact. Something within him seems to prevent him from ever recognizing the existence of this hierarchy of man over women for centuries that still naturally has traces in our society
Whats the bet all the dislikes came from people who didn't even watch the clip. Ignorance is bliss to some...
even right wingers don't like Peterson the guy is in it for the money and nothing else, the only people who think "wash you penis" and "clean your room bucko" is the greatest thing ever said still like him.

Only point I liked was making more hierarchy so less people collect at the top makes sense so people don’t suffer unduly
If you’re commenting on RUclips, you’re hardly a person who is experiencing any suffering. Suffering, and I mean ACTUAL suffering, barely even exists in any part of the world.

In the future, maybe "for the betterment of society" would be enough incentive. That's probably what we should strive for at least. No?
Trifecta what you’re saying would only work if human nature was inherently good which is not the case or if people were indoctrinated with a sense of altruism which is extremely difficult
@Kimmminem West which is why what is "for the betterment of society" also is
@Kimmminem West Are you kidding me? Then why do political divides exist? Why do people, for instance, constantly argue between implementing policies that would work towards equality of opportunity or equality of outcome?
14:32 i just realized holy christ
Dr. Peterson is literally the textbook definition of a “leader of men”.
I've experienced both patriarchal and matriarchal Tyranny, and both suck ass, because it does not suit me personally, however some people like it for they like their status in that system. I never did and never will, unless i'm at the top, and even then, it's not for me, i'm not that person that wants or desires that much responsibility. But sure, give me personal control and power any day, so i can enjoy my personal freedom
The power of the double standard is strong.

Jordan Peterson is freaking awesome...
no hes a piece of shit some of the stuff he says is cool though
at least im not a liar and furthered sjw nonsense because i wanted a show with dr oz and my satanic agency needed me to prove that i was on there side. peterson also helped write agenda 21 him and joe rogan are both shills because they want a spot with the elite. agenda 21 literally is a plan to make america like the hunger games and these cucks wanna join the capital. they are controlled by the material and because they wanna join the capital they are fucking over the people immediately by being shills for even a second. bill gates literally has a ted talk saying that he wants to get the population down and agenda 21 is bill gates project. i know you joe rogan fans must wonder why he has changed, and it is because of this. there is a shit ton of evidence for this watch owen benjamins stream called the price of freedom he goes into great detail he also has true integrity.
yeah its sad that you think so. their bullshit works quite well that you dismiss the truth when you hear it, well its nothing new bro but that shit is just true research it and its blatant
@@ClarityFB /\ /\ /\ lol such a typical response from a JP fan. Agenda 21 is not a big deal btw and JP definitely was not involved in writing it. Firstly Agenda 21 is just a 1992 plan for sustainable development within 8 yrs, and it has absolutely no force behind it. It did and does nothing. Secondly, psychologists are 2nd or 3rd tier intellectuals and don't have the writing skills to draft important documents like Agenda 21. He claims he helped write a different, much less important, document 20yrs later, however I think that's BS because anybody that has heard him speak for 2min would never hire him to write.

"Another short point said long" is a good way to describe Peterson. He makes so many good points but tends to over explain them
Yeah I'm in the 1%! But I like the points made.
Joe seemed tuned into this discussion
Let s have the same conversation in 2021
How long ago did this game start?
I never knew that statistic of the 1%. Where can I find that because that's actually mind boggling to know that if you make more than $32,000 a year then you are part of the 1%
That might be a rough figure. Just imagine to determine that you are in a certain percentage you need percentile. For percentile you need to have a data of earnings of all the people on the earth. That data is compiled from income tax returns
Now so many people have black money which is not taken into consideration.
3:40 it would be a matriarchy...just like with elephants :)
30k in NY makes you a victim
For years nursing has been known for its bullying. In fact I recall reading an article allied something like “Nurses eat their young” nearly 20 years ago. I’d prefer to work for a man anytime. Worst bosses I have ever had were women.
Well that's because those bosses were oppressed by the patriarchy.
Ironically, as a woman, I've found female police to be much more aggressive in a negative way than the male cops. I won't go into the whole story of my abuse by a sadistic narcissist, so let's just say my husband with 30 years of intense martial arts and also gift for fighting even amongst the other elite in his field of Navy SEALs, FBI, and police, who I also met as my self-defense teacher, and had been , faithfully married to for 15 years at that time, raped me, and then the next night called the cops on me for going apeshit. I admit it. I was off the fucking chart. So, the cops come, and I stupidly told my kids to just let them in, because I didn't want to leave my bedroom. The cops come up, one man and one woman.
The man did his job, asked me the typical questions, and was clearly uncomfortable being in my bedroom while I sat in my underwear and T-shirt. Then, he respectfully retreated downstairs. The little blond girl wouldn't leave, even after I told her my husband had attacked me, held me down in my bed, ripped off my clothes, and told me he, "won't have a wife that he can't fuck." She stayed. I asked her, fairly nicely to leave me the fuck alone. She stayed, as if intruding on my personal space meant something to her beyond her job.
I got up, in my underwear, stood over her face (I am 5'9" and she was no more than 5'4", and looked her right in the face saying, "Are you fucking stupid? You are a woman!" I am lucky I didn't get arrested. I am not proud of losing my grip.
But it wasn't the first time female cops have been a pain in the ass, while male cops were helpful. I slept at the beach for three months after my rape, and one night I arrived and threw my truck door open, barfing and heaving like an animal. The funny thing is this is a beach neighborhood that is considered the second most affluent in the state of CA, and I thought the cops there must be dicks, since, you know, rich people get protected better. But no. I told him a summary of why I was there, and told him, I was not crazy or drunk, just needed to be safe. He literally slumped in his posture with empathy and asked me if there was anything he could do.
I think we forget that men are designed to be heroic. They need to be heroic. That is why video games are so important for young men, because there aren't any chances for them to do what they are designed to do--fight, protect, and hunt. Sure, when men are evil, they have the power to reign pain and destruction upon us. But I don't think that is what most men want. They want to do what their evolution designed them to do, save the weak, and the children. When society creates an obstacle to that, it either causes men depression or aggression. And I think they understand abuse better than women. I mean, why else would the woman cop be a bitch? And why in the world would a cop outside 20-50 million dollar homes that sees a woman in an old truck, barfing out her door, not think I was a threat or menace? He probably would not have been so kind had I been a man doing the same. It is weird, but I think striving to find the symbiosis is the key. Women typically want to nurture and care. Men want to protect and defeat anyone who takes resources from their people. If one side dominates, we all lose. And when women try to be men, we all lose.
Modern society is cutting off men's balls. What will we do if all men turn feminine here, while other places in the world they are still fighters? We will die.

Very wise man.
There's this relatively new complaint from leftists that Jordan just keeps talking about the same things. Jordan talks about many topics, but he keeps getting asked about this particular topic because people gravitate towards hearing truth especially when it's suppressed by the mainstream. Jordan can stop talking about this the day that radical leftists stop repeating the same illogical feminist NPC nonsense about patriarchy and social justice. It would be really convenient for the left if Jordan would just shut up and go away which is exactly why he cannot stop until the mainstream finally wakes up to the truth which could take years.

That jew at it again.LMAO.
ENVY undermines everything.
I love elk it is the sweetest most tender meat that has ever tantalized my taste buds.
That's a discriminatory hierarchical evaluation of meat brought about by the patriarchy.
I feel like the point is being missed in a few areas; if more men are opposed than woman (still vague as to what area and if sexual oppression counts as anything less than her rights as a human being) it doesn’t justify oppression, period. Consuming capital doesn’t make you part of the problem, allowing capitalist to fuck the system based only on money or the promise of money is the problem and you can’t blame anyone for that except are government. Do people tend to victimize themselves? Yes, whether it’s Peterson feeling bad for not getting laid or a woman feeling bad for not being as good at something as a guy right away for any reason. I’m still trying to understand the weight of matriarchal tyranny, as a guy I can hear what guys say behind women’s backs and I know girls say the same, so I figure its up to what they are allowed to do; maybe there’s a social barrier, but that’s more mental/personal, since around the corner could be a “society” that gets down with that. Idk; those were my thoughts.
if you understand anything about Foulcault usage of the world "power" you wouldn´t make fullish image about mafioso plumbesr etc. power in Foulcault is a much broader concept than that exemple sugests.
Foucault never said hierarchies are only determined through power. Just a fabrication or a misinterpretation (if I'm being generous). Say a professor becomes a University President, where the sole factor of his ascension in the hierarchy was stellar scholarship, that ascension, even though not conditioned on the grounds of power, inevitably increases his power. Foucault just meant that knowledge and power and competence and power imply each other, that they are interdependent.
Amazing thoughts.
