Jordan's lecture a day keeps the Chaos away
at bay
Hahaha I love this
very true so far.
Hahaha good one!
😆😆😆😆
4-6 hours a day watching Peterson.
haha that used to be me 1,5 years ago
no regrets
*while working
Please post a link. I would love to watch chimp fights!
looooooooool
You mean David Goldman?
I am in love with this guy's brain and his ability to relate his knowledge to others.
TwoPercentSkimm Right? Nice channel BTW!
gasp i never would have imagined the TwoPercentSkimm would like JP
He's a orator, nothing more. Watch him debate atheists and his bullshit becomes apparent.
@@hanyuguo He is hardly just that
You didn't say "no homo" so now you're gay for being in love.
I started watching Dr Peterson's lectures a couple of months ago and have already changed my daily behaviour quite a lot. The 2 ideas that I'm trying to apply -gradually, since the change is not easy at all- are telling the truth and everything you do (or don't do) matters. Still a long way to go for me but I have understood that's the way I need to go in life. Jordan Peterson is a gift to the world
keep going!! i've had two wake up calls this year about making this change, one of them is jordan peterson, other i realize belatedly to my shame is also a gift to the world. Lucky to have either. Yes, daunting, but gotta do it. Keep going!!
Visit Stefan Molyneux as well for more mind nukes in more aspects of life :)
carlotapuig Thank you for your comment. I'm trying to do the same thing myself
How the fuck did you not figure that out yourself.. Like were you just lying all the time until jordan peterson suggested otherwise? it's a good point that everything you don't do matters, not just what you do do. How were you not telling the truth though, it's so basic and despicable not to.
bollussa, what "speaking your truth" means is something Peterson goes over in several videos. It not what people normally mean by "telling the truth". its more about not staying silent when you have something to say and staying true to yourself as a being.
Procrastinating by watching a video about not wasting time... Irony hurts...
It's not time wasted if you learn something.
Greg Scholfield Misconception about listening to people like Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson - You're learning. People retain vocal language as well as written. If I spend 2 hours listening to him and Sam Harris argue about what is true, you're spending your time infinitely more wisely than most Americans.
How am I procrastinating? Please explain. Procrastination is putting off doing what you know you must do. The assumption being, of course, that you already know what you should be doing. That you have the knowledge needed to accomplish the task. But learning, listening, at the feet of a master? Learning something that enlightens you? How is that procrastinating? You are wrong, sir.
+W.B. Latimer Who mentioned you? Seems to me Greg here was talking about himself.
So you can speak for him? You know his mind?
argh... the truth hurts watching this video, i'm guilty, and ouch
Oswald I love your line of thinking hahah
he fucking starship megablaster blasted us with that truth. But oh, the hope and potential and payoff if we take his recommendations are so tantalizing!
my exact thoughts...damn this guy can talk. even his body language is super clean and precise and supports the hard truth he tells
Don't get guilty. Get aggressive.
ACTUALLY.. none of it is the TRUTH unless in hindsight we can prove that it was good for humanity.. so no.. we have to wait 5-10 years to see if this is actually true.. me personally ill go and listen to some people who dont have to change the definition of truth to fit their preexisting christian views
he constantly has me saying, i knew that but i didnt know that i knew that.
Yeah, things always sound more credible and noteworthy when coming from other people's mouths.
You mean you didn't actually realized it until now.
@@yogi30303 It's always in the back of our head but not apparent.
I have reached a new kind of procrastination where I watch endless videos about peocrastination. The bottom has no end.
Da Vin Kim
You pathetic loser
Stop wasting time
The older i get the more i am supposed to withstand, truth is i was overwhelmed all along... even the older info people just pretended to care, made me more sick than good by wastiong my little efforts
Lol! Same here. Helpless. Let's find a video that tries to solve that problem.
@@sab-ali I don't know if watching another video will solve your procrastination problem, but what worked for me and I highly recommend is James Clear's book ''Atomic Habits''.
That's not true. The bottom has two ends -
1.) The point of no return
2.) Death
These take a lot of time and effort to arrive at but it is entirely possible to arrive at this situations.
I can say a thing for sure:
every seconds spent on Peterson
is a golden investment.
His videos are the few things which are not waste of time on RUclips.
This 10 minutes was more effective and persuasive than almost any motivational book I've ever read.
Read his motivational book.
Read all of his books
He’s a genius!!! He’s the mentor I wish I had in my youth. At 58 I take his teachings to heart and apply the
. Better late tan never . He’s SO right about waisting time !!!! I’m sharing his videos with my son who’s 20 years old.
I spent almost eight years in growing nihilism and the worst thing was I honestly thought there was no alternative since "the world's bad, life is meaningless" used to seem the only truth to me. I remember exactly how I got into Peterson's lectures and self-help. I woke up once in the morning and figured out the root cause of my problems were fear and lack of self esteem (that's aside from a lack of a compelling goal I used to think I was entitled to). So I googled self esteem on youtube and discovered the Actualized channel, and then Peterson's lectures. Thank God it didn't take me another eight years....
X2
He has helped me a lot in my life. I feel more human than ever before since I started watching his lectures
And where are you now? Did you make any impressive progress since that? Has your life changed?
@@RadekNiochTwo hello. I'm still a bit in the desert but stable and alive. I managed to change courses, work hard and get into a selective foreign exchange program. I even worked full time for ten weeks to fund my trip. While depression comes back from time to time I basically know how to tackle it. It's actually a lot easier than I thought. Thanks for asking, I hope you're doing well too. Stay stafe! Sincerely
@@destroyerinazuma96 Thank you for your response. Good to hear all of that, best wishes to you as well!
I've avoided doing the things I need. It clicked last year that I was not satisfied with my current job and where I am. I started working on videography to switch careers. But after coming across Dr. Peterson, I realized how I wasn't doing enough to hit my goal. I was slacking off, and doing things to satisfy me right now, rather then work for the future. I've since cut back on my video game playing dramatically, it frees up a lot of time. Now, I've built a website, have some video experience and references, got an internship in New York City, and am currently in talks with filming games for a Rugby league. Dr. Peterson helped me realize what I needed to do.
Well done, man.
That is awesome man
How is it going on for you? I think I am a video game addict and would like hear more
Michael I currently work for the United States Postal Service, work on my own videos and podcasts. I make enough to support myself, as well as try to expand my podcasts, videos, and learn guitar. I feel better playing games now. I no longer feel like they are wasting time. I use my time well, and gaming is a nice way to unwind.
@@KevPez-IS thanks for your answer :)
This kinda hit me, as I sometimes am guilty of Nihilism. "Life is suffering, the questions is do you want a meaningless suffering of a meaningful suffering?"
Im watching this at 1 am and this alone is a great argument that is making me want to do something with my life, anything meaningful.
meh youll feel the same as before this vid when you wake up
Start exercising and finding trouble. Then meaning won't become a question anymore. The only meaningful times in your life are the times in which you don't think about because you're having too much fun, or you do such good work that you create meaning. Meaning is to be created, not found. It's a good thing! Try it. Choose to live blissfully and you *will* quite quickly if you do it in earnest. Every moment is new. Embrace the suffering and find meaning beyond it.
Z_Goombah awesome comment. I agree
Check out Victor Frankl's work.
Wow, thank you Daniel. I will most definitely read up on his work. "Existential analysis" sounds like a very interesting concept & I cannot wait to explore it.
This man should create his own motivational program. His rational approach to solving personal problems and extemporaneous presentation really connects with people.
FilterExel He's already made both Self-Authoring and Future-Authoring program online courses. ;)
he has
Aaron Soderland what are self authoring courses?
I got the future authoring suite
its a hard hitter, I had to think over some simple Questions for like 45 min and its given me loads of insight on myself and the narratives I have about myself
I'm working on future authoring -it's amazing, the thing almost writes itself!
The emotion in his eyes and voice tells you how much he means everything he says. More power to you Dr. Peterson.
This man really makes me want to be a professor. Wow.
There is a huge push to make everything meritocratic, and that paradigm prefers metrics like number of papers published over the job description itself, which is to "profess"
You might want to re-think that idea after looking into how Peterson has been treated by his school, caving into SJW crybabies
lol what? you act like you know him personally. Maybe he does want to be a professor, over the last year I decided I want to shift my efforts into becoming a high school teacher, and did I mention while I was in highschool I hated school, thought the idea of becoming a teacher was dreadful. I think thats just how you see Jordan

@@hanyuguo and what are you
why? I can't see why...
how are you doing now?
The call to responsibility in his words gives me the chills for reasons I can't explain. It's like it awakens the longing for meaning embedded in my physiology. I am so incredibly grateful for the knowledge this man is sharing with us all. It has and continues to change my perspective and therefore my life. Thank you, Jordan ❤
Tip: Listen to Jordan Petersson in your headphones or on speakers when cooking / cleaning / making your bed to get more efficient
This was one of the most inspirational things I've ever listened to and I don't gild lightly. It was genuine. Most talks that aim to be inspirational feel like the person is trying to sell you something. This doesn't aim, it just is.
I've wasted so much time. God damn.
Time spent having fun or doing good work is time spent well. Don't be like me and spend an entire day watching YT videos. If you spend your time sitting in an office bored, or doing mindless shit to kill time and distract yourself, then that time is truly wasted. My mother spent decades of her life trying to get by with her office job. She regrets everyday of it. Remember the regrets of others so you don't end up like them. You're not here to sit on your ass and do things you won't remember. Start by exercising! Kiss a girl! Start trouble!
make use of the time you still have left then
Et tetri
Well what's done is done. Learn from it and move on.
Z_Goombah i like the exercise and kiss a girl part
brother, you're not alone. 50 years and nothing to show for it.
When I first watched this video 8 months ago I felt intense guilt and now it's just a good reminder and motivation to continue to do better . Thanks Jordan
I've been avoiding this video forever....
me too and im glad i clicked it
@@crothert
So basically, you stopped procrastinating when it came to watching this video.

Right. The optimist approach. But it's true. One step at a time...
my girlfriend and i cleaned our closets last night. thanks dr peterson

Actually or metaphorically?
"If you live a pathological life, you pathologize the society. And when enough people do that, it's a hell." - 8:57
This man is a call for awakening.
Nothing but love for this man. One of mankind's greatest minds.
I love Jordan but he has admitted on numerous occasions that he struggles with sitting down and doing nothing (stopping to smell the roses) and also that he struggles with finding a state of happiness. He is hyper-productive and always working, and this video reflects that mindset. I agree that doing nothing is bad, but measuring you time off in $'s and feeling bad for not working and making money constantly isnt imho a positive state either, and most people simply arent like that. I enjoy being productive, and I also enjoy doing nothing/playing video games/a siesta in the park etc etc. It is part of what makes life special. Doing nothing and just enjoying your existence is one of modern society's biggest luxuries and shouldnt be seen as "wasting time". It would make me miserable to constantly feel like I need to do something productive and make money, and Ill happily be a bit poorer to be able to do so. Moderation/balance is key.
Yeah, he's kind of a workaholic.
I mean, he had like 5 jobs at the same time for most of his life.
That's certainly a unique lifestyle, with a lot of work that has to be done basically *all* the time. I don't know when it was the last time he took a day off and did 'relaxation only'. Before he had his detox I mean, which was no 'free choice' either, more like an inevitable, necessary break.
He is hyperproductive and he is a genius (roughly speaking). But it still inspires me, even though I know I'll never work that much. That's ok. I'll do my best. And I'm a lot _less_ lazy now than I used to be, that's for sure.
Good luck to all you guys out there. We're getting our acts together.
Not anymore. He’s most certainly slowed down, not by choice of course.
Your view is compatible with his, very similar in fact. Here is why I think so, a clip from one of his lectures: ruclips.net/video/xWUplunwGgc/видео.html
He does say in another lecture that some people enjoy off time leisure and that is perfectly fine.
he is extrovert?
This guy puts the majority of university professors to absolute shame in comparison. No wonder they wanted him gone.
Keep doing your thing jordan, you are changing lives.
one of his finest moments. i’ve shared this with many people because of how incredibly useful it is
What are Peterson advices on lazyness and procrastination ? That's the single biggest, largest issue by far in my life. It's the issue that cause every singles others problems...
I'm 19 years old, I just can't defeat it, yet i'm supposed to be high intelligent, high potential being. I just prefer to think about things, to fantasise, yet I do nothing...
You havent even lived two decades of your life: you don't know shit. Start by getting off the computer and getting a job. Make new friends and talk to different people. Why do you put things off? What's stopping you? Ask yourself these questions, but most importantly: stop thinking and start doing.
Make an active effort to not be lazy and unambitious. Its difficult, but you cant make excuses for yourself and you need to hold yourself accountable. Thats it. No magic cure. just mental strength and fortitude which you can work to strengthen in time. Progress rather than perfection, just actively catching yourself making excuses is at least a start.
GOOD IDEA NEO I WILL HAVE TO GET AROUND TO THAT
I struggle with the same, but as Professor Peterson has mentioned in other lectures, a great way to motivate yourself is three fold. 1) Create for yourself a "hell" to run away from. Envision a version of yourself in the future where you fall prey to all of your weaknesses and vices. Having a crappy job for a while can instill this awareness and desire to avoid a future "hell". WRITE THESE THOUGHTS DOWN (don't concern yourself with spelling or grammar). 2) Create for yourself a "heaven" to pursue or run towards. Envision what your future could be like if you worked hard to fo what is right and act in a truthful manner and pursue your goals (in the next 6 mo. , 1 years, 5 years). Also WRITE THIS OUT! 3) Remind yourself that everything you do matters. By bearing responsibility you create purpose and meaning for yourself. If you are having trouble in fixing your whole life, try to create order by being conscientous about smaller problems that you can tangibly fix. And work up from the motivation of acconplishing smaller tasks from start to conpletion. Remind yourself that life is suffering. Everything meaningful is typically hard (because it requires responsibility). Sleep well, eat well, those are the first things to do to slay depression and lack of energy. Don't try to fix the world, fix yourself first and getting your own life in order. By doing so you will be on the best path to creating purpose and meaningfulness in your sphere of influence.
None the above are my own original ideas, all from Professor Peterson or other sources. I wish you well.
While trying to figure the same thing out for myself I came across some theories that claimed being highly intelligent and having high potential can actually work against us in terms of laziness and procrastination. Being smart enough to not have to do as much work and at the last minute becomes a destructive habit.
Part of me says "I wish I've seen this lecture when it was uploaded 6 years ago." But a part of me says "Even if you did, you couldn't have change a thing anyway." So yeah, I'm fighting my own demons for a very long time. And the the most recent battle I'm having now is particularly a difficult one, because there's too much at stake. I had more than this much stress, only when my sister died. I hope I can win.
I could have written the same exact words a while ago. Things can change quickly as long as you stay in the ‘game’. Best of luck!
@@kokitsstaying in the game is stuck
I've been procrastinating all week from doing his Future Authoring program and cleaning my room by watching his videos. So today I blocked off the entire day for both. He's so right when he says we're simultaneously the worst boss and employee.
It's amazing how sharing knowledge can change the lives in others. I'm 2 weeks into listening to his Lectures and my habits and thinking has changed and i've reacquired this intrinsic Spark again at 42! I feel alive again. I have always felt alive but there's a newness in the refreshing of my thinking, etc. He's a pretty amazing human being!
Often I waste time on youtube , BUT, today, I have made an investment!
hopefully it was BTC and you still have it
How's the investment paying off?
yeah keep telling yourself that
this is way better than spending $1000 to go to tony robbins seminar
Hahaha that guy is full of shit
I've never been to one yet so I would pause in criticizing what I haven't experienced firsthand. I agree tho that the cost is prohibitive
I listen to this at least once a week. It's seriously one of my favorite speeches of all time.
I have come to realize, maybe because of Dr. Peterson, maybe because of introspective thinking which may or may not have been aided by psychedelics and meditation, that the key to be successful in whatever you're doing is to really do it. I think I am at a turning point in my life where I realize that I have been living my life just to "get by", not taking my job or school seriously while hoping that I will be successful in life somehow. I realize that being fully committed to things, and doing them to the best of my abilities would offer greater fulfillment and results.
I don't regret watching this.
Jordan Peterson, thank you for changing my life in a very profound and powerful way. This video is pure gold and needs to be seen by everyone, some even more than once.
Remarkable. Now the decision is whether or not to continue the meaningless suffering, or take the road of truth in my real, meaningful life.
This Man, is so on point, a voice crying in the wilderness. My absolute respect to him
Points to ponder, is procrastination necessary to some extent perhaps to sever some sort of biological purpose to allow for concerted concentration.
What is the natural set point of procrastination/lazy versus driven, is there some large genetic component in this as well?
Interesting, how do you mean though?
@@mbradford1206 because Mother Nature follows the "just good enough" rule in its creation. It also follows the minimum effort(resources), maximum gain rule. Maybe people should stop mistaking taking a rest for being lazy. If you overrun your systems early, you`re done. If you listen to people who lived over 100 years, they always say that they took things easy, had a lough and enjoyed their lives. People just need to stop making things worse and that`s already good enough. We do not need to be super efficient robots on tight schedules, we need to be allowed to make mistakes, as a large number of great inventions came to existence just because of mistakes. Maybe procrastination can be seen as one of those mistakes? Maybe procrastination is just an extra reflection time? Just pace yourself if you`re here for a marathon rather than a sprint.
I was transfixed throughout the entire video and when he was done, I was left speechless. He's right.
I wish I went to psychology presentations when I was at uni.
Tim Trust me - they WERE NOT like this. It’s why this man is a superstar and all over RUclips. Plus it’s so much less expensive.
Thank god this man exists
First time I watched this video, but I almost know it by heart for the sheer number of podcasts, songs, shorts, transcripts I have consumed in the last year that had pieces of it which were then expanded. This thing is packed with value and the internet is milking it and it could keep on doing that for half a century.
This is hitting me incredibly hard.
I wasted my last chance to get into education I wanted and live the life I want. I was in a time where I knew I need to do something and change. And I realized the right way just after I went past it. I'm scared of ruining my life and the loved ones.
Excellence rises from moments like these, this man does not stutter as he explains to you what you should be doing with your life.
I could listen to this man for hours...
His passion and the way he articulates each thought. This is a man who is a true definition of a scholar. His lectures are gold nuggets of knowledge and have to be preserved and shared with humanity throughout generations
Yeah, I know it sounds corny, but 2000 years ago guys like Jordan Peterson were called prophets.
Quinn O'Keefe and likely slain by the church in favor of a more reasonable prophet who sees eye-to-eye with the ministry.
Keys879 Truth, exactly what happened to Jesus 2000 years ago
Well... according to contemporary Christian, Jewish, and Roman historians, Jesus was executed for claiming to be equal with God. You don't have to like his claims, but there are a lot of things that definitely did happen.
He was crucified 7 days after he ran the Govt and IRS out of the temple.
If you're referring to Jesus, you're demonstrably false. Jesus advocates for the poor, the meek, the desperate and without hope, while Peterson condemns them, at least in the sense that they need to change who they are.
>>Great video and some excellent tips! These are scary times for new investors but the best thing you can do is not to make decisions based on emotions. This could actually be a good time to buy more of your high conviction stocks or crypto on a discount. Wealth is created during bear markets, not bull markets. If your portfolio is really effecting your mental health then delete the app and go for a walk. Let the market do its thing and have a long time horizon.

Rule of thumb now. According to goals and values one has , one must put himself/ herself an every situation that will promote growth and make one stronger and more capable. And there is no limit to how strong / capable one can get. Forward momentum requires exposure to situations that challenge one to grow and hence become more capable.
I think the problem with most people is that they lack purpose. They whimsically desire things but with no appreciation for the hard work it takes to get there. And that is why "most" people remain mediocre and never do anything extraordinary.
Dr. Peterson said “…there’s remarkable people that come into this world from time to time…” he’s that remarkable person.

Maik4613 No way. It’s going to be an outbreak or some natural phenomenon. Not people choosing to have less kids...the population is EXPLODING right now, so that makes no sense...
@@mgal6234 It's because people in poverty have more kids because the chance that 1 of them make it and lift your entire family out of poverty increases. So as we lift people out of poverty they will have less children. Just google "fertility rate 2019" and you will see that all of the countries with the highest fertility rates are from africa.
uplm You misunderstood. I was not referring to population growth in third world countries. I was referring to global population.
Miss Information Exactly. That’s the number at which the scientists feel the population will decline.
Jordan Peterson, why did you say that we'll max out at 9 billion and that it will then fall dramatically after that?
This reminded me the meaning of my life . What for I am living. It helped to ask myself am I really I am . This video is blessing for me .
It's amazing. I won't waste my time anymore . I promise to myself .

Just imagine being there in person. God, what a life changing speech.
Fantastic argument! I found myself nodding along the whole way through. Dr. Peterson is a fantastic mind and I believe what he is doing is crucially important.
His talk on nihilism destroyed me, sadly i recognized it before but hearing someone say it really puts it into perspective.
When you have to clap after getting slapped in the face with reality

Wow. I already liked this guy for his stance against the language fascists and their preferred pronouns nonsense, but this is just awesome.
This video scared me so much it made me want to start working MAD HARD instantly.
So, did you ?
Jordan Peterson is one of those guys who walk the Earth every 1,000 years.
Indeed , the "Petersõn" is known to hibernate for vast stretches of time, ruminating and contemplating for up to a thousand years at a time before it reemerges!
See, why do people treat him like a messianic daddy saviour? So strange and cultish.
@@anaglyphx it's a joke bro
@@anaglyphx he's not a Messiah but indeed he's saving lives
I waste a lot of my time and opportunities, one cause of that being that I flinch away from doing things / listening to things if they make me scared or uncomfortable. So lately one strategy I've been trying to follow is, "If you're scared to do it, then do it immediately." And so when I saw this video title, it made me very uncomfortable because I knew it would be critical of me, and so as per my strategy I clicked it and watched it immediately. Very worth it, of course!
Any irony having to do with spending my time on youtube notwithstanding, hahah.
That "watching things on RUclips" segment was so meta.
Results of watching at 2x speed:
1. I’m twice as efficient
2. Jordan Peterson sounds twice as smart
3. I watch twice as many JP videos about getting my act together
I watch this video everyday morning. My end goal is to listen to my conscience and take rightful action my body is telling me. Thank you!
I had to watch this video about 20 times to actually comprehend and internalize it.
This was the first peterson video I watched, and it took me on a journey that I'm still on now and has changed my life in ways that I could never have imagined. So basically, what I'm saying is, what he says in this video about your actions influencing others lives is true.
"... watching things on RUclips that you don't even care about..."
And I'm atoning for my sins now. Thank you.
THIS MAN IS A BLESSING!
Somewhere off the coast of the Atlantic, a young lobster is cleaning his room.
This lecture is divine. Speak the truth. Speak the truth. Speak the truth. That helps people. That helps people show the way. The biggest reward you can earn. Speak the truth
Now I'm procrastinating about whether I should watch another Jordan Peterson video.
Just imagine how good the world would be if every student in this lecture room actually took Dr. Peterson's advice...
I bet no one would fail the class!
I used to strive for degrees and jobs and status... until I wanted to get married and have a family... then I realized I just want to be an old fashioned HOMEMAKER!!
Good move. Wish I had married and had kids. I'm 52 now, no kids, not married. I just chased money. Now I'm middle aged, have more money than I'll ever need but I'm lonely and empty.
Good for you
Finished my graduate degree in my 40s and realized it wasn't worth putting off family. Most people don't have dream careers. Work and money should never overtake family and love.
That is awesome but you can do both. I work hard and get a good career so I can provide for my kids. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Me and my wife don’t have have high enough incomes for one of us to stay home so we both work and try to make the most of our lives outside of our jobs. If you have good time management skills then you can have a family and career. Most people do. Some pursue degrees as parents part time. I just don’t think it’s good to see those two things as inherently separate. We can do a lot in life if we set our mind to it.
@@gregkinney2565 I’m about to turn 25 and I do not want kids. Maybe I will get married eventually but I do not want kids. Do you think that’s a mistake ??? I don’t want to regret it when I’m older and wiser 🤦🏻♀️
When I watch people like this, motivators if you will, I always get the sense there's an unease in them and they're rebuking themselves as much as they're doing it for others.
how are you doing now?

🙏 Thank Dr. Peterson!
Have other people already thought alot about most of the things that Peterson talks about? Even came to a very similar conclusion but you've never actually spoken of it because it would just be too complex to try and explain? Then bam, he just sums it up in a perfect summary on the spot.
Did anyone else find themselves subconsciously folding their arms? What about finding tears in your eyes and not really knowing exactly why?
For about a year and a half I have been working on turning my dreams into reality. Last week I decided to do something no matter how small each and every day to come closer to that. Even though I feel like I did not work hard enough since I made a decision to turn my dreams into reality, I am still seeing a huge difference between where I am and where I would have been without working on my dreams.
I have been wondering about what my full potential is for a while and then decided to just work on making it real every single day. I don't want to give up. Tomorrow I will do an hour and a half. I plan on slowly rising the amount of time spent on my dreams to avoid a fast burnout. Maybe I can go even to 20 or so hours a week. More means no free time. If I wouldn't be able to manage that much, I can also go with a lot less and still accomplish a lot. Just imagine how much can you accomplish with just 6 or 7 hours a week of work for 5 years! How about 20 years?
Seriously this guy, and Ben Shapiro saying "if you are permanently poor in the united states then it's because you suck with money.", are both far more inspiring than any leftist hippy bullshit or inspirational memes on facebook that you read and pretend it will change your life but forget about 5 seconds later.
Scias yeah.. people with those "woe is me" memes are tweaked in the head.
Yeah but for people not having these problems it seems so easy. When you wake up at 27 years and realize you never had a chance to learn how money works or an environment you were not strong enough to pull yourself out then you need people to help you. Not necessarily to do it for you but for helping to helo yourself. Which is not done properly and hence such high crime and inmate rates.
heladar holy shit this is me... 27 and I'm just figuring shit out.
Well good luck with that :) Its not easy at times and really hard but also satisfying when you figure that shit out.
What if your parents are poor and you're not very smart, should it be your fault that you're homeless? I am not left or right I just want to know the opinions
Notes for me:-
1. Our actions matter a lot more than we think. We live in a world where everything we do can build or take our life down.
Now that is the power. That we can choose to do constructive things and not do distructive ones.
2. Nihilists often try to Avoid everything because that also frees them from the responsibility.
3. Asking this question "what I will be if I do right, constructive things everyday for next 10 years?" and the risk or opportunity cost of what I will be if I dont do them.
And Take those actions.
how are you doing now?
The most important video on youtube
After watching a substantial amount of Dr Jordan B. I find myself chasing my handful of curiosities/passions and doing the footwork to make it a reality not only for myself individually, but collectively for the people around me, for the better of our world. As cheesy as that sounds its very real. passion#1. I'm now a paid photographer passion#2. i'm becoming a trusted leader for my indigenous people Yale First Nations. passion #3. i'm becoming increasingly fit and healthy. passion#4. chasing every curiosity that embodies me.
I fucking love this nigga
The way he moves his hands when he talks and if we focus on it along with what he says ,it's an altogether DIFFERENT WORLD.Jordan We love you .
Amazing talk. JBP is the man.
Only one class in the world that every one in the room sits, listens and claps in the end. Hit!
You can watch and listen to him all day long all year long but it wouldn't matter if you aren't applying it in your life.
very very true! no one wants to admit this or think of it, but its right!
am addicted to his videos, but not sure if am willing to suffer the change he requires. thanks for waking me up !!
@@zoopla710The change 'you' require to become the person you want to be. I'm afraid of it too, but it's time... I'll start to write down an action plan where I face all my responsibility-related nightmares
I was feeling awful, trying to motivate myself, kind of depressed...then I opened this video and part of the way in, I was like, “I’m getting up and doing the dishes and laundry.” I looked at the timestamp of the video: I was only about 5 minutes in. I am just amazed.
He made a comment at 6:50 about us peeking at 9 billion and then having a quick decline. Does anyone know why he said this or have any of his other videos on maybe him answering this thought?
I thought the same thing, then read your comment. I want to know also!
As societies advance birth rates decline, a good sign for a well developed country is a declining or at least stable population. So I suppose he would assert that as we approach 9 billion people, enough of the world would be advanced that the massive population growth we see from developing countries like China and India would rapidly slow down and maybe even reverse.
There has been a consensus for about two decades that will be the case, but it is difficult to estimate and projections vary between 6 and 12 billion depending on the assumptions made. Certainly birth rates have dropped dramatically in places as they become more developed (e.g. Iran and Bangladesh), but others remain high (e.g. Africa) though could drop as similar development occurs there. It raises some interesting social issues to have a declining population and a shrinking economy. We haven't seen that since after the Black Death in Europe. While it was devastating it changed the whole social landscape. Housing became plentiful and labour was in short supply so commanded more power. Feudalism became untenable and the development of modern societies became possible in Europe. Future population decline is rarely talked about but is a fascinating area, especially if you are young enough to likely see it take place.
Boaty McBoatface There is a common belief, in Western society, at least, that the world can only hold so many people before we see a collapse. This idea dates back centuries, and the estimated number is always being moved. The biggest problem with this thinking is that the defining characteristic of humans is innovation. We are always becoming more efficient in the industries of agriculture and energy production.
We underestimate the old. Many are actually very functional until quite late in their lives. Plus increasing robotisation enables greater production with minimal human input of any sort. There is however a disturbing growth in ageism; blaming older generations for all sorts of things, and we're not far from them being depicted as 'oppressors of the young'. Given the right (wrong) social conditions that could lead to people suggesting a 'final solution' for the elderly. Ironically by about 2050 the elderly would be today's 20 somethings.
Wow, this guy articulates ideas that I was at loss of expressing. Wow!
this helped my life
And sometimes people lack the ability to change, therefore they can not to fix their chaos. We all know that people got great potentials, how to utilize it is the big problem.
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ. I've never known an academic to address my soul.
I have social anxiety disorder I never had a job or a relationship and I'm 35 I'm a lost cause but it's still great to hear the truth
