Last year I attempted suicide. I was newly single and jobless. I was living out of my truck and extremely lonely. I couldn't even afford data on my phone to properly communicate with the outside world, or my mother in England (I live in NZ). One day, when I was sitting outside a café, using their free wifi, I saw a suggested video pop up of a "Jordan Peterson Owns..." I clicked on it. It was entertaining. That led me to watch other videos of his and soon I found out that he wasn't just someone who puts people in their place- but a loving, caring man with great wisdom and knowledge on how to fix the mess I called my life. I parked outside that same café every night for a couple of weeks and I've been obsessed with his teachings ever since. I know he hears this a lot; and for good reason, but this man has literally saved my life. I keep his book on me like a bible and I revisit old lectures all the time. I'm no longer suicidal. I'm not longer homeless. I have a room to clean. Thank you, Dr. Peterson. Edit: I'm completely blown away by all the lovely messages from people from all over the world. It gives me a great feeling of global unity, that we are all one, fighting the same battle. Endless love and respect to you all. I wish you nothing but happiness. An update to my life: I just got a puppy. I guess you could say I took rule 12 a little too seriously and instead of petting a cat (in this case a dog) I actually adopted one. Take care, love to you all.
Good for you man, seriously. You go unlimited potential ahead of you, use it. Just look at how old all the other people are that are celebrating Peterson's words. You can have what they, WE, are all wishing for! Good luck

I was looking to see if some awesome person posted these much more useful time stamps....thanks so much for doing this! If this video was re-time-stamped by the channel to match this (ie. the book chapters), it would be very useful! :)
I'm functionally depressed. Been listening to Peterson almos everyday for a few months now. Just cleaned my room today. Edit: it's amazing how so many people in the comments don't see the analogy.
I told my girlfriend he was my favorite psychologist to while we were on the subject of psychology. She stopped responding for a bit then told me she bought us tickets to see him along with a trip to where he’s talking next. What a gift.
I thought you were going to say she stopped responding and then went on twitter to call you your toxic masculinity, what a pleasant surprise, and its sad I came to that thought first.
Here are my notes: *Stand Up Straight With Your Shoulders Back* • Read the great clinicians: Jung, Freud, Adler, Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow + Skinner (behaviourist). • The neuropsychology of anxiety - Jeffrey Grey (1800 papers worth of understanding! • Affective neuroscience - Yak Pengsak (rats laugh). • Lobsters and serotonin (status, emotional regulation & posture). • Competence (intelligence and confronting fears with courage) define hierarchies. • Confidence gives you the benefit of the doubt, for better emotional regulation + being taken seriously. *Treat Yourself Like You’re Someone You’re Caring For* • Jung says it’s an invitation for reciprocity - people will treat you exactly how you want them to, you need to define this (the golden rule)! • How would you like your child to be treated? • People are fragile, prone to temptation and imperfect, which often gets worse, and capable of malevolence - this is why we don’t like ourselves. • Love the sinner but hate the sin! • Taking care of yourself is a moral obligation to humanity, you have a light to bring into the world! *Make Friends With People Who Want The Best For You* • People that aim down while you aim up are toxic (this can be part of you too). • You have an ethical responsibility to surround yourself with the best people that support your needs. • Be careful about who you share good/bad news with (jealousy and habit perpetuation). • Bad people don’t think life isn’t worth it, they demonstrate to themselves there is no necessity to strive forward by putting you down. *Compare Yourself To Who You Were Yesterday, Not Who Someone Is Today* • Know Dostoevsky novels (crime and punishment - murderer gets away with it [see don’t let you children…]). • Pareto distribution - height, weight and intelligence are normally distributed. • Creative products are distributed in a Pareto distribution. • If you run a company, 80% of the employees do 20% of the work, 20% of customers are responsible for 80% of calls and sales. • In a given domain, the square root of a particular group of people do half the amount of work. • Matthew principle: To those who have everything, more will be given. From those who have nothing, everything will be taken away. • Consider this in terms of opportunity. • There is always going to be someone around who is better than you. • Jung thought the Book of Revelation was a pendant to the Bible, because the Christ in Gospels was too merciful. An ideal is always a judge. Revelation has Christ coming back as a judge. • You need an ideal because you have nothing to aim at, but an ideal is a judge and you will always fall short of the ideal. • Set a high aim, then break the goal down into parts that are challenging enough to push yourself past where you are, but not crushingly distant (reasonable probability of success). • At 30, the idiosyncrasies of your life make comparison futile as accomplishments are tailored by factors. • Make today some tiny increment better than yesterday. • Goals need to be laid out to justify life’s suffering. • Nietzsche says, “he who has a why can bear almost any how”. *Do Not Let Your Children Do Anything That Makes You Dislike Them* • Freudian nightmare: Circle where people are squeezing each other’s necks hard enough to strangle them in twenty years. • Carl Jung: The shadow (dark side of humanity) has roots reaching all the way to hell. • Literal & metaphysical application - the very worst and then more proximal kinds of hell. • If you understand your dark side, you will see in yourself a reflection of the darkest potential. People don’t want to see this so they don’t, but this confrontation is an inevitable barrier to enlightenment. • Joseph Campbell: “Follow your bliss” • Jung: “Pursue what’s meaningful and you’ll encounter that which you least want to encounter”. • God of Horus (Egypt) was a God, but lost an eye in the battle when encountering evil. The Egyptian eye is that lost to Seth, the precursor to Satan. • Nietzsche punishment: don’t punish people when they do something wrong, this is a moral relief to them. Wait until they do something good, then hurt them. • When people do something you wish to be replicated, reward them! • Consult your irritability to prevent conflict and shape the times when others hurt. • Children must be socially desirable by four, we develop by playing! Adults like developed kids. *Set Your House In Order Before Your Criticise The World* • Carl Panzram - Panzram (autobiography) - “Hurry up you bastard, I could kill ten men in the time if takes you to hang me”. • Columbine kids diaries - why did the kids shoot up the school? • The above were judges of being as motivated by resentment. • You must admit to resentment, its fantasies and the way out. • A resentful person wants others to change are not to be trusted. • TS Eliot: The cocktail party - “I hope that there’s something wrong with me”. • If I don’t like life, is my judgement to be trusted if I haven’t done everything I possibly can to set life right? • The Gulag Archipelago - Solzhenitsyn. One man that stopped lying could spread the dissolution of the Soviet Empire. • GO over your life with a fine-tooth comb and determine when you took the wrong path when not shieled by ignorance. Take responsibility for where you are, what increased the probability that you came here and what would happen if set everything right in the present. • Try not doing the things you shouldn’t do, not saying the things you know aren’t true (Mandela agrees). Do What Is Meaningful, Not What Is Expedient • The Messiah takes the world’s sins upon Himself - associated with Jung’s shadow. • The terror that comes in the night
Dr Peterson mentions it from time to time but bears repeating. One reason so many people come out to listen to him is not because he's saying something 'new'. He's telling people things they already knew were true, but had never been properly articulated. He's reminding people of that which is fundamental to the human experience, that our societies have stopped teaching altogether.
@@Kriegtime101 Such a simplistic accusation! First, Dr Peterson is not just restating any of the obvious or common sense. (He does go through extensive detail from bonafide research to extract conclusions; the titles of chapters in his book are by no means the complete thesis of his findings.). Second, he is not a strict conservative and much more of a classic liberal slightly left of political center, and he is furthermore not political in the first place; he is explicitly a diligent and practicing clinical psychologist and professor. Get beyond the meaningless labels which do nothing constructive.
@@Kriegtime101 Socially retarded? Like liberals acting violent toward people with whom they disagree? I think Dr. Peterson has illustrated perfectly both directly and indirectly that lefties trend toward social retardation at a much higher rate than do conservatives or anyone else for that matter. Go clean your room, get a job and grow the hell up:)
Dr Peterson clearly explains the things that everybody knows along with giving us new information in a structured way that we can understand and does not just throw it at us.

4 million people took an hour and thirty minutes out of their day to watch a lecture on how to better their lives. I officially have hope for the future.
It is pretty amazing, isn't it. I will never understand how people see him as some kind of alt-right guru. Clearly they have not heard a word of his lectures. He changed my life in many ways and I'll never tire of hearing his talks.
Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.

This is profoundly contradictory with the basic rule of life that states that we first have to survive and thrive by extracting energy from something or someone. Something is missing.
@@samuctrebla3221 You can extract energy from your surroundings in a way that is sustainable. So the rate of depletion is slower than the rate of regrowth. If you are wise about identifying your actual needs, and then find the optimal path to satisfying your needs, then there'll be something left over for others as well.
@@manafro2714 typically our modern society is built on non renewable resources and energy sources. The machines we use multiples the power of per person by a factor of 1000, keeping us away from many needs and hazards. Modern democracies, not greek ones with armies of slaves, directly depend on our potential to extract energy from other sources than other men. Slavery was basically abolished thanks to the fact that it wasn't profitable anymore, we didn't just wake up one day full of compassion and humanism. A lot more could be said on the matter. The conclusion would be : species and organizations that thrive maximize, by order of importance : extraction of energy, refining of energy, replication of theses last two functions, protection mechanisms of the group, protection of individual parts of the group (very optional at this point). Sustainability can be a consequence of a series of adjustment of the warfare for energy, but is is, has not, and will never be a preexisting condition for thriving. For a psychological point of view, we can visualize our needs and imagine rationally limits. This is some crazy advanced survival tactics, developed to save the group. But we are deeply cabled to break all boundaries otherwise. Peterson's work is only about maximizing individuals potential. We feel like we have to expand, procreate, handle responabilities... To live is to leave a track, but you cannot do anything without taking energy from someone or something. I think there is more to understand.
@@samuctrebla3221 Hi, thank you very much for your detailed answer, I see you have put a lot of thought into it, and so I have tried to consider your points as best as I could. I'm not sure I agree with your point on slavery: you said that it wasn't profitable anymore, but if that had been the case, then why wouldn't people have combined slavery with machines? Do you really think that in a society which relies on slavery, if someone invents machines, masters will suddenly be like "Oh, well we don't need little Timmy to dig holes in the ground anymore, we've got machines for that! Let's liberate little Timmy/kill little Timmy and his entire family!" The only goal of these masters would be to increase energy extraction: if they liberated their slaves, then there's less resources for them (because who would operate the machines? the only alternative to the slaves are the masters), but if they combine their slaves with machines, then they are better off. Someone has to operate machines after all, and if you make slaves do that, you won't have to pay them fair wages. If you need far less slaves, then you just decrease their number, but you don't get rid of them only to have them replaced by former masters who will demand fair wages. As for the other alternative already mentioned (i.e. killing them all off): that would not work for the reasons just mentioned: someone must always operate machines, plus where in history have you ever witnessed mass homicide of slaves after better ways of extracting energy were found? As for this point: "The conclusion would be : species and organizations that thrive maximize, by order of importance : extraction of energy, refining of energy, replication of theses last two functions, protection mechanisms of the group, protection of individual parts of the group (very optional at this point)." This would be true in a master-slave type of society, but in a modern one if you are exploiting your workers, you are usually punished. What about dictatorships? Yes, the individual most likely is worth nothing in those societies, and they try to maximize extraction of energy in order to spread their dominance in the entire world, but do they thrive? History seems to have proven that eventually, all dictatorships die. You said "Peterson's work is only about maximizing individuals potential." My impression of JP is that he tries to strengthen those individual values which bring about a better society. He sometimes talks about rights and responsibilities, and sees the following balance: your right is my responsibility, and the other way around. So he wants to live in a society where things are balanced, you have to do your duty towards me and so do I. The opposite would be one where only one of us would have to do their duty, and the other would have rights only. This would be a master-slave society. JP wants you to develop such qualities that would lead you to have a better life by living a meaningful one, and a meaningful life is one where you are of benefit to yourself and your fellow people. Let me know what you think, I like to exchange ideas with people who think differently from me. I mean, how else am I going to find out if I'm wrong? :) Someone has to break it to me, and I'm perfectly fine with being wrong, even though I try to be right (or to put it more precisely, I'm fine with being wrong BECAUSE I'm more interested in finding the truth instead of flattering myself with how "smart" I am for "figuring out" how a complex phenomenon actually works, i.e. deluding myself with my own grandiosity). Thanks! :)
@@manafro2714 Hello again, sorry for the late answer. 1/ [Who operates the machines? Where are the slaves ?] Workers and qualified workers operate the modern perfect slave which is the machine. It's way more effective than feeding and forcing "imperfect" slaves (a.k.a. people) to do basic stupid tasks. I must insist on the fact that the average person, especially in developed countries literally has an invisible army of slaves. The power of your car is worth smtg 1000x the power of your legs, and everything around you takes a crazy amount of energy to produce or to run. And then you need the human cognitive capacity to put all these things (resources and energy) together and operate the system, which by the way is the work we monetize. We did not kill the slaves at all, they aren't just human anymore, for the best. 2/[exploiting the workers is punished] This is wrong to me. We always exploit workers since we only pay men. Nature, our evolutionary complexity, all living species, all natural ressources, are free by definition (Smtih, Riccardo, Say, Marx,...you choose), and the only things we value are what is available only by working. Despite that this principle is now our greatest threat beacause we rely on external sources of physical work, we only pay in men's work, either by salary or unearned income. Even when you buy machines, you eventually pay the successive workers and investors that were involved in the process. The ratio of unearned income to the salary is the toughness of the exploit (which is very fair in a lot of structures). 3/ [Dictatorships always fail, in response to my suggestion of extraordinary democracy]. You certainly speak out of few precise examples, but I cannot see how this can be legitimately true. It's pretty much the opposite. Feudalism was very stable for thousands of years throughout the entire world, either in autocraty or oligarchy. Equal rights and universal right to vote is the most recent political thing. I'm assuming you're American (and your country is a great example of extraordinary democracy and struggle for human rights), but to put things in perspective, the universal right to vote was achieved only in 1920 (women could vote), and in France in 1944. 3 to 4 generations. We could discuss many examples. 4/ [JP proposes to balance rights and duties] Yes, because on an individual basis it literraly makes a lot of sense. I like his thinking. It surely helps a lot of people, and I discovered many things about myself. But in the end, I would sum this up as "what is good for you is good for society" (stay away from chaos and resentement). It is a wish, it's not systematically effective. I wish his vision of balance could embrace the fact that we always need to exploit something or someone, and therefore preserve it. But maybe he said something about that ...
17 year old here: (I‘m assuming some things here and they may or may not be right, but I just want to make sure) Don‘t get too cocky about you being „special“ because a lot of other 17 year olds are wasting their time away with expedient goals. As Jordan Peterson said: Don‘t compare yourself with other people, especially with people that are doing worse than you. This can lead to a sense of illusionary accomplishment, which is not constructive in propelling you forward. If you want to compare yourself to someone (as a starting point or a personification of an ideal you strive towards), then make sure it‘s someone who has accomplished more than you. I fail at this often too and I think a healthy amount of acknowledging the fact that you may actually be in the small percent of soon-to-be successful people is OK, but don‘t let it go overboard and stop bettering yourself everyday.
To all the teenagers and early 20 s out there. I'm 27 and I wish I had heard this at 15. Do yourself a favor and listen to the man. Don't let your ego get in the way.
I am 21, I’ve found out about Peterson about a year and a half ago, everytime that i feel lost, even a bit, i’ll be watching his lectures and listening to his podcasts. Being from a North African country it’s quite hard to obtain his books. I got them downloaded on my PC still, but it has been a struggle to read PDF because it does much damage to my eyes, and i had failed to obtain the audio version as well. So i just stick to what I can listen to here on TH-cam. But even that much has been life changing for me, I can’t even count the times that i’ve listened to something that he had said that felt so profound and real to me that I just found myself crying, feeling happy that i am understood, bit ashamed of all the « dead wood » that I wasted so much time not burning, but also encouraged to do just that. Listening to Peterson (or reading) gives you the best mixture of emotion that’s just right to make you feel capable to actually start working on yourself. And it’s such a hopeful idea that just by doing so you eventually make the world a better place. I don’t think i can ever express enough how grateful i am for the existence of this Man.
This was one of those "putzing around the internet and BOOM" moments. How'd I land here? Who knows? I found myself in your five-star restaurant, ikravchik, and have been nourished to the nth degree; what a miracle to have learned that Jordan Peterson is alive in the world right now! (I'm leaning down to pet my cat, to participate in Being in this one small way...) ~ The line that grabbed me the most: "Their failure to participate fully in being leaves a hole that's precisely the size of their soul in the cultural landscape." I have been moved by Jordan Peterson ... Grateful and galvanized!
I was obese, unemployed, without a girlfriend...a meaning, this man and his books helped me massively, now I have a job, I'm graduating at the university in foreign languages, I have an incredible person with me...my girlfriend, I've lost 50kg of bodyweight and...wow life is not that bad guys, thank you Jordan Peterson
What a shame that some colleges are prohibiting their students from hearing Jordan Peterson's very important lessons for life. What a great loss. What i've noticed in my "working class life" is that many of the younger people have found him and that his lectures are available online (youtube). We need more of this man and those like him.
They want them to be soft and pliable. They don’t want them to face their dragons. Isn’t it sad. I’m a 50 year old woman and I have an entire playlist I go to often when I need a dad. He just makes so much sense and awakens my soul.

An equally important and intelligent figure to listen to is Thomas Sowell. I recommend Peterson for psychological and life advice, Sowell for Economics and History. Both leave you amazed and learning something new every 30 minutes you spend listening to them.

You solved my life problem by saying a child that is not socialized by 4 years will never be able to change that. My mom believed she was saving me from germs and uncleanness. So I have always been uncomfortable in groups and with people getting too close. I'm ok, but I love having this clarification about where it could have started. I have a great life and people who accept me as kind of a loner.
A philosopher like here, Dr. Peterson. Has a wonder fulfilled with knowledge that can be discovered through science, wisdom, philosopher, and critical thinking.
Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!
Crazy how Jordan Peterson has a lot of impact. Not only his book is a financial success but also in term of psychological impact. Some people who sell successfully their book just earn a lot of money get some media coverage and them disappears cause it was there only great thing. For Jordan it’s more serious than most people he literally had an positive impact to many people just by communicating from TH-cam and books, when he is bad health, everybody worried years later everybody remember him. His book is not just a financial success, a fun story that may be adapted in a movie. His book has also a psychological impact that makes lives of some people better without having to meet him in person. To understand a psychologist we have to listen to him and what he says rationally can’t believe some people try to politicise him and his ideas just to make a confrontation.(they don’t like the way he impact people positive way) He is mostly helping people in the need.
Perhaps in contrast Eckhart Tolle can add also add something to an individual's mental and spiritual well being. His book is called The Power of Now. How very true.

That phrase is actually a Biblical verse from the apostle Paul. In a slight difference. Notice how he follows and quotes alot of things that Jesus christ said? Its cause his principles are Bible based. Not all but most. He even says it.
Somente às escrituras you got it all wrong. He’s analysis is based on thousands of scientific published research papers by clinicians in Psychology. He’s a professional. He sometimes uses lines/stories from literature (even the Bible) to get a point across. He even quoted Nietzsche earlier. Listen to why he is telling those stories to highlight a broader concept.
Somente às escrituras you know he is not religious right? So your point makes no sense. You sound like a casual listener. Is this your first time listening to him? You sound like it.
Somente às escrituras I told you why he uses lines from the Bible. He uses lines from all sorts of sources to drive his point home. You should be able to see that.
I can add another piece to that, "Resentful people only want to tear down and have no clue what, if anything, should replace that which they want destroyed." Technically this is why you should not trust them.
@@grimmliberty7447 I don't think that's generally true. People usually know what they want installed as a replacement, that replacement is just generally not better. Demanding a restructuring of a system that is a product of decades of wisdom and thoughtful adjustment demands a solid foundation; one resentful people tend to lack.
I don't know. I can't imagine the impact of that idea, along with his paean to humility, if they were to be applied by conservatives to American politics presently. Unthinkable. It is a race between embittered resentment or all-knowing pride being the more honored. Quite like the far Left.

Everyone talking about the presentation, but I'm just here to show my appreciation for the editor who muted the volume during the applause to save my ears. Thank you
There is a possibility that it was because some music was playing and that the audio had to be removed for copyright reasons. Otherwise he could have just lowered the volume I guess.
This man... Jesus, he is a GIFT for humanity! I cannot even express how grateful I am to him for sharing his knowledge over the decades. He helped me so much!
@@gooze3888that’s not what using the Lords name in vain means. It means to not pretend to be acting righteous and for God when you are not in your heart. You have misunderstood the commandment (as did I). Hope this helps
This man, single handedly, could CHANGE THE WORLD for the better! His wisdom, resolve, intellect, and care for the world, specially the western culture is the only strong force we have against the tyrannical post-modernist, destructive forces that have infected ALL of our academics, institutions and governments! Bless you Mr. Peterson! Keep up the good fight and WE WILL SUPPORT YOU! Already pre-ordered the book!
He already has. His suffering in the fight with university admin. in Toronto was surely a great part if not most of the health problems he mentions. He is truly giving of himself, and has awakened so many people who were comatose from the lies we have been fed by our supposed educators and authority figures. They are all, without exception, flawed and have feet of clay. The ones who want to destroy (sjws, revolutionaries et al) are not helping the problem, but opening the doors to hell. Now he has shown us how to start improving our world, by making our own self better. That awakens our hope, and releases our love - directed at him. But don't even think of making him your idol. He is a man like us, and a great one. If you make him your god you destroy both yourself and your relationship with him. God bless him and you, with all of us.
It is so refreshing to see someone live what he preachess. His main message is that each of us as an individual could impact the world imensly, for better or for worse! We can appreciate what he is doing, and learn a lot from him, but like B flat says, be aware of how high you place Peterson. He could die tommorow, you never know.
@cindybin2001 I don't agree with it either. Free speech used to be the cry of the Democrats. Now, some leftist are so fragile and cowardly, yet they are the first to respond violently. I don't think I'm a Democrat anymore!🤣 Free speech, union/ worker rights, and "change the channel if you don't like it" Liberal! God bless Cindy(there are other platforms😉)

He defends and supports English genocide of aboriginees in America , slave trade , English opium trade and China , plunder and impoverishment of India that’s what western wealth was built on
Here is how insane you people and your surrogate daddy are: Peterson has claimed that feminists have “an unconscious wish for brutal male domination,” referred to developing nations as “pits of catastrophe” in a speech to a Dutch far-right group, and recently told a Times reporter that he supported “enforced monogamy.”

This is so profound in many ways. You caught me by surprise and put words to my 40 years of action, and got a tear as a reward. I like to think of my light as a torch to light others lights, I hope that makes sense Mr Peterson. Best of wishes to you. Thanks you for the mental health breaks :)

Jordan Peterson has to be the only person I can listen to for an hour and a half, and not even think once about when it's going to end. Such an amazing man.
Nah, man, there's tons of people I could listen to for an hour and a half or even more and not even once think about when they're gonna be finished. Most others are musicians performing, though, so there's definitely merit to your statement. ;) Thought experiment: assuming time travel is possible. Which great orators from the past would you want to go and see perform their craft?
@@JR-90 no way. Ben Shapiro gets ony nerves. My husband listens to him a bit and I still can't listen for more than a half hr. Jordan Peterson, I've listened to podcasts and TH-cam videos that I didn't realize 2 hrs had gone by, thinking only 15 min had gone by. Smooth, calm, and makes sense. Ben Shapiro, somehow leads me to feel anxious... Maybe it's the abnormal speed in which he speaks, i don't know
I didn't even need the sound, the sight of the entire audience rising in applause brings a tear to my eye, the impact this man has..... surreal to be witnessing his existence.
videos of peterson have some of the most encouraging, soul-heartening comment sections, i always spend like 20 minutes reading from grateful people and it makes me grateful as well.
The most important thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies..
I'm 17 applying to uni and oh boy thank the lord I found Jordan Peterson, I cannot fathom the luck I have to be able to listen to him right before "becoming" an adult. I suppose I should be thankful to my past self for picking the right set of choices that lead me here.
You are very lucky, and it’s amazing you know. I’m 37, still living in fear, and I’m genuinely happy for you because you found Dr. Peterson this early in life.
I've been watching him since I was 16. I'm 17 now and just started reading his book. He really helped me change my life from guns drugs sex and stealing, to something much better. I want a head start on my future, and he really helps me with that
@@ctsvblk I know depression too. To me it was like falling down a black hole with less and less hope of ever seeing light again. Panic. Desperation. - Not anymore.
@Mark Hi Mark! Being an old-fashioned Christian I've found "The Naked Bible Podcast" by Dr. Michael S. Heiser very helpful. He's nondenominational like me. Thus 'naked Bible'. No denominational filter between him and the Bible. And ... listening to Jordan I've come to think that maybe God has ALSO put some psychology into the Bible. It's such a rich book. So maybe. I don't know, but am thinking about it. And ... I think Jordan is on the brink of becoming a Christian.
Honestly, I don't follow him like a cultist but this man has definitely helped me become a better person today. I lost my job during the covid-19 outbreak but I took what he said to heart and ignored the crisis and worked hard. during a job test I cried in the middle of the night because I thought I would never get to the cut off but It was really ingrained into me that we have the power to change our lives, it is up to us. So, I stood up! Sat down straight, Wiped my tears and took control. I made it! I got the job, built my very first computer, got tons of freelance work and retained my relationship with my family, girlfriend and peers. There are more fighting to be done but it gives me courage to have that control. His lessons change me a better man, father, lover and son. Thank you.
Update: I'm now promoted as an Art Director, I have a new apartment and a new motorcycle. I have savings and insurance, I helped my girlfriend get a job under the same company. Next year I'm processing my papers to move to her so we can live together and make a studio. I forgot to mention that when I lost my job during the covid outbreak. A random friend of mine from high school messaged me to apply. So the lesson here is always try to consider what other people are offering you.
Although I somewhat agree with his thought, if you are humble enough, you won't care what people have to say/think about your own words/opinions. You will seek to just listen and observe others. I understand this may come across as "passive" or "weak" in the perception of some, but it really is a strength. If you understand that it doesn't matter what others think of your advice, stories, or speech in general, then you can say what's on your mind 100x more than you normally do, and you can also become a much better listener. In my opinion, listening trumps speaking by a long shot. But once again, this may not apply to everyone and it may also be wrong in the sense of gaining respect and/or admiration.
True.,,,this why I not say much.,.cause I can tell when they not listening.,. Not waste my energy no more..,.,cause I only live buy truth and unconditional love ...that's all I seek
Listen to this talk with an open heart. I grew up in communist Hungary, where my father was imprisoned and almost beaten to death because he spoke his mind. We were fighting against oppression, torture. and ideological enslavement. In 1956, the whole world was watching as we were fighting the invading Russian army with a few guns and Molotov cocktails. Noone helped. I guess we didn't have enough oil. Pay close attention to the lessons in this talk and do your share to make sure that history doesn't repeat itself.
Crazy shit ♡ all of Europe couldn't be invaded by the Evil Nazi. But look at it in 2019 invades by the middle east. Halarious really. Now look at the U.S. invaded by the third world. The powers that be have just gotten sneaky. Good luck hoping the memory of any damn thing will help your people or mine.
This Dr Peterson talk is perfect to revisit every so often, just to refresh, reevaluate, revitalize, and recharge. What a gift he is to us all via those who will listen, react, reap and so spread the rewards. God bless him!
Not every so often, daily. This man is the only person On the internet that I 100% trust. All others, I listen to skeptically. And try to figure out their angle. Dr. Peterson is a hero beyond measure. I have hope in our future because him alone. Thank you.
Before I heard of Jordan Peterson I did not even realize that in these new times we were missing a public figure who we can look up to, someone who inspires us, teaches and gives us a good example. For me, and millions of others, JP feels like the father figure
"For me, and millions of others, JP feels like the father figure I finally found." And that's the problem right there. He targets his myopic and one-dimensional platitudes towards your kind. The lost, the father-less, the ones who (wrongly) believe everything will change overnight in their lives if they just "think right". "The father figure I finally found." And that is telling. For only lost people listen to him and are "inspired".

@@deren2001 Not only that, but Dr. Peterson did that in the mist of extreme personal turmoil and bad social pressure. Extra props for coming out of that better viewed than before.
Never have I been so moved than when I listen to Jordan Peterson. His humility and pure concern for us as humans, as individuals in need, calls to my soul. Each day, to be just a little bit better, a little kinder, a little more honest, to listen with real interest, all of this and so much more. To be just a little more, than I was yesterday.
@@godsbulldog1800 I would never compare the way God moves my soul to any human. However, humans are capable of moving others to be more than they were. Jordan Peterson makes what should be obvious to us all, crystal clear.
I just shook the man's hand a few hours ago and got my copy of 12 Rules signed plus photo, and I still can't stop smiling.. still can't believe he came to NL and I got to see this legend in person by simply driving for 10 minutes.. Best evening of my life SO FAR!
soulog Peterson brings to awareness that which is convoluted or already gathered; articulating that which is deeply known, revitalizing the memory of the masses.
The most endearing thing about JBP is that he is such a deep and honest thinker and yet can laugh at his own foibles. Thats the measure of true honesty , the ability to laugh at oneself.
Jordan has the gift of storytelling… factual storytelling… all the while wearing his emotions on his sleeve. A gifted storyteller draws you in and Jordan does this EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
Ha! Can see myself in the second row with a big ass grin. Absolutely fantastic evening, Peterson is a saint and it's impossible to even begin describing what a positive impact he's having. Thank you for hosting Peterson.
Ikari I see people time and time again coming up on stage and showing people what THEY are doing to improve OTHER people's life(and that is fine), but this is the first man that comes on stage and asks the audience to improve the own life and TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, and as he had admitted that it is really strange that people actually come time and time again to listen to him, that's how much people have been deprived of this message.
Agreed ! He is selling responsibility, to quote dave mustaine , "roughly speaking" " Jordan B Peterson- "responsibility is my business and business is good" !!! Lol!!
You have lead me to God and made me question myself , then made me question God, then made me question why I believe in God, then lead me back to him in the most healing way. I love you!
ciaran well a burden that is worth it for you! It’s obviously going to look different for everyone else. Some responsibility’s/burden will be easier for some than others to the degree that they can handle.
yeah, he seems now to have found himself in his new role as controversial public person, understandably it must have been quite scary and taken some time getting used to. imagine the pressure
He has commented that for the first 6 months of his recent "notoriety" (my word, not his) he was in total fear - fear of saying the wrong thing, being "found out", etc. He obviously had little to worry about. His natural demeanor is to be not only quite clever, but pretty funny at times, as well.
Jordan peterson is a proof for the existence of the idea of Ying and Yang. While the world goes nuts, he appeared and sets simple things strait. Thx a lott Dr. Peterson

I was going to make notes of the talk anyways, so i thought might as well share it with others. This gives me a feeling, i would be frequenting here quite some time. I would update/expand/clarify each time.

j peterson Nazi orbanuskisser: "my message to Hungarians: what your prime minister is trying to do is to restore the metaphysical foundation of Hungarian culture".
I don't think you can value someone's importance like that. People are important in many different ways to different people, like a doctor keeping a child from dying as we speak or a parent that are raising the person that will cure cancer. My point is that I don't think saying someone is the most important person is a good way of looking at people.
@@LiveAtEs I'm not going in to all the claims you just made with 0 backing, that's what people like you do and I have better things to do than spending my energy on facebook scholars. My point is that the importance of a person isn't binary, you should value peoples importance in relation to something. William Perry, US Secretary of Defense back in 1980. Due to a malfunction in the system they got data that suggested that 200 missiles where headed from Russia to the USA. Even though everyone told him to call the president and warn the country which would have led to the USA firing nukes back, William Perry didn't trust the data and stood his ground, because of that Perry singlehandedly prevented ww3. Imagine how great of an impact he has had on the WORLD, not just America. Saying people are "the most important" just shows that you think at the lvl of a child.
@@LiveAtEs Alright gender politics is worse than a ww3 of nukes... I see. Well have a nice day in fucking ompa loompa land my dude, I'm not having this conversation.
So refreshing to see him in his own element and not being thrown in a cage with people attempting to “defeat” him intellectually. Just listen.... you may learn something.
I cried at the end of this video. I've felt like a bad person for a couple years now due to some mistakes I made which resulted in people I loved being hurt badly. Although they have forgiven me and showed me they love me regardless I couldn't forgive myself and I've tried to change who I was back then. I realized that I'm not a bad person because I'm constantly engaged in becoming a better one, for me and as a result for others, my loved ones. I try very hard to develop myself into a more integrated and full person, and someone conscientious and Peterson understanding how imperfect we are and how in spite of that we have the ability to try and improve really takes a big chunk of the burden off my shoulders. I feel blessed. I feel as if I was meant to know of this man and be attracted to what he says.
Thank you for sharing. I don't think I was a bad man when I was younger, I know I was. BUT I am no longer that person nor will I ever be again. I would rather die/be killed. Again, thank you. It's nice to hear "myself" echo from within society.
Sounds like you need a Dad... “The idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.” Islamophobia is “a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons”. White privilege is “a Marxist lie”. Believing that gender identity is subjective is “as bad as claiming that the world is flat”. --- If you agree with any of these statements you're a fucking idiot! (And not a "brilliant" psychology professor unfortunately)...
it seems you have learned a great lesson. Have you looked into different spiritual world views. I think you might find some great comfort there. Sacifice is a great thing in a troubled world...
@@elgagalari Or historical documentation being re taught to future generations like any other historical figure. That's the point of the comment I'm pretty sure. You're response seems like a desperate and baseless jab.
@dhv2 this was the first video of him I've ever seen other than his very first viral video debating a crowd on campus. I just keep seeing him everywhere it's obvious he will be regarded for a long time.
When he was talking about reading the diaries of the Columbine kids, a line from an interview with Marylin Manson popped into my head. Micheal Moore asked him, "If you were to talk directly to the kids at Columbine and to the people in that community, what would you say to them if they were here?" Manson's answer was perfect. "I wouldn't say a single word to them, I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did." In my opinion, Manson nailed it.
The ultimate question in life that I believe is still unsolved, is whether or not people are "born bad" or if it really is all just a collaborative effort of your family's influence, childhood, and what you consume that pushes you to the side of evil..
"Manson nailed it." He did indeed. Unfortunately very few took the lesson to heart. This is still a problem and it has rapidly become worse since then. The media, parents, teachers, and mental health workers who interact with boys at risk continue to scapegoat apparently everything OTHER than the root of the problem. It will continue to worsen still.
@@nicebars Oh I think it's fairly well understood to be both. The one tends to put an individual at risk to development especially poorly if the other is also present. Serial killers are a good sample to dive in to as considerable effort has been devoted to analyzing their childhood and adolescent circumstances. Talking about the average here, though. There are outlier cases on both sides of that. Also there is an entire third category when it comes to crminal pairs of people. The pairing of two (man and man, man and woman, or woman and woman) adds a complex relationship such that it's questionable whether either of the individuals would have committed similar crimes without the other being part of the picture.
@@stoutlager6325 Wow that's actually an interesting point you brought up with the third "pair" category.. I never thought of it. So you're saying two seemingly good individuals could form a team, and somehow be consumed by a bad idea/evil thought and then carry it out regardless of if they had good childhoods or were just good by nature?
The moderator, who is introducing Mr. Peterson, has impressed me very much. He has the kindest face I've seen in years. Such a pleasure to just watch him. Soothing voice to accompany it. Delightfully British as well. Love his sense of humor! Sir, would you like another person in your family? I volunteer! The world is a better place, because of you.
"Until the entire world is redeemed, we all fall short". Very interesting closing statement. Reminds me of the bible verse, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ." Romans 3:23,24
Nataki Jean-baptiste helllo nataki! Its miki we went to high school together, i was 1 grade ahead of you. I was sitting 8 or 9 seats to your left, you looked directly at me a few times and i waived. You didnt recognize me lol. Anyways, i was happy to see you again looking great as you always did. Happy birthday!
1:21:10 I haven't cried in months or maybe years. This made me cry. Not only is Dr. Peterson an extremely intelligent and attentive person, he has a way of describing powerful emotions humans can have that just breaks me sometimes. You can see in his eyes that he has had many dragons to face in his lifetime, but he conquered them all and he's still standing. He gives me hope for myself and for humanity at large. Why some people choose to disregard all this and only see the projected evil in him is making me sad, but as he said, we have to try our best to not only better ourselves but better our environment with it. So here's to changing naysayers' minds about Dr. Peterson and making them see the great truths he is putting forth. Here's to the great logos!
Also characterizing everyone but yourself as a "normie" and putting yourself up on some kind of pedestal is exactly the kind of thinking Jordan Peterson would absolutely despise.
I am moved. I sat through this whole thing in awe. Never heard of him before I am so glad I found this. He says what we all need to hear, over and over again. A man to look up to, to trust. Teaching good teaching what our children need to be taught. I'm going to start sharing this over and over. We all should. He is amazing. I had to rewind quite a bit because it was hard fir me ti grasp at times I mean I got it but took me a couple tries some times. I'm inspired to do better to help to be self conscious all of it. I will be listening to this again. Thank you so much for this.
How wonderful to see so many positive responses to JP, who is not only an eminent psychologist but a humble and honest human being. Since this is your first exposure, I recommend that you listen to the tapes of his U of T lectures, from before he wrote this book. All of his academic career showed the same pursuit of truth. Not to mention, his incredible ability for verbal expression
Last year I attempted suicide. I was newly single and jobless. I was living out of my truck and extremely lonely. I couldn't even afford data on my phone to properly communicate with the outside world, or my mother in England (I live in NZ). One day, when I was sitting outside a café, using their free wifi, I saw a suggested video pop up of a "Jordan Peterson Owns..." I clicked on it. It was entertaining. That led me to watch other videos of his and soon I found out that he wasn't just someone who puts people in their place- but a loving, caring man with great wisdom and knowledge on how to fix the mess I called my life. I parked outside that same café every night for a couple of weeks and I've been obsessed with his teachings ever since. I know he hears this a lot; and for good reason, but this man has literally saved my life. I keep his book on me like a bible and I revisit old lectures all the time. I'm no longer suicidal. I'm not longer homeless.
I have a room to clean.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
Edit:
I'm completely blown away by all the lovely messages from people from all over the world. It gives me a great feeling of global unity, that we are all one, fighting the same battle. Endless love and respect to you all. I wish you nothing but happiness.

Thank you 😊
Thank you for this summary :-)
I was looking to see if some awesome person posted these much more useful time stamps....thanks so much for doing this! If this video was re-time-stamped by the channel to match this (ie. the book chapters), it would be very useful! :)
Thank you 💘
I'm functionally depressed. Been listening to Peterson almos everyday for a few months now. Just cleaned my room today.
Edit: it's amazing how so many people in the comments don't see the analogy.
Good for you man. The best kind of work you can do.
Keep it up hun. A journey of a million miles begins with a first step and I believe that first step is the hardest. Your doing great.
Taken your Clonazepam yet today?
Wow! You cleaned your room!? I only learned how to do that when i was 6 years old...
@@Kriegtime101 Knowing how and being motivated to do so are two different things. Don't being pretentious.
I told my girlfriend he was my favorite psychologist to while we were on the subject of psychology. She stopped responding for a bit then told me she bought us tickets to see him along with a trip to where he’s talking next. What a gift.
marry her
I thought you were going to say she stopped responding and then went on twitter to call you your toxic masculinity, what a pleasant surprise, and its sad I came to that thought first.
WOW, MARRY HER IMMEDIATELY !
You don't have a girlfriend man. It's a Angel 👍🙏
Damn, you must clean your room.
Here are my notes:
*Stand Up Straight With Your Shoulders Back*
• Read the great clinicians: Jung, Freud, Adler, Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow + Skinner (behaviourist).
• The neuropsychology of anxiety - Jeffrey Grey (1800 papers worth of understanding!
• Affective neuroscience - Yak Pengsak (rats laugh).
• Lobsters and serotonin (status, emotional regulation & posture).
• Competence (intelligence and confronting fears with courage) define hierarchies.
• Confidence gives you the benefit of the doubt, for better emotional regulation + being taken seriously.
*Treat Yourself Like You’re Someone You’re Caring For*
• Jung says it’s an invitation for reciprocity - people will treat you exactly how you want them to, you need to define this (the golden rule)!
• How would you like your child to be treated?
• People are fragile, prone to temptation and imperfect, which often gets worse, and capable of malevolence - this is why we don’t like ourselves.
• Love the sinner but hate the sin!
• Taking care of yourself is a moral obligation to humanity, you have a light to bring into the world!
*Make Friends With People Who Want The Best For You*
• People that aim down while you aim up are toxic (this can be part of you too).
• You have an ethical responsibility to surround yourself with the best people that support your needs.
• Be careful about who you share good/bad news with (jealousy and habit perpetuation).
• Bad people don’t think life isn’t worth it, they demonstrate to themselves there is no necessity to strive forward by putting you down.
*Compare Yourself To Who You Were Yesterday, Not Who Someone Is Today*
• Know Dostoevsky novels (crime and punishment - murderer gets away with it [see don’t let you children…]).
• Pareto distribution - height, weight and intelligence are normally distributed.
• Creative products are distributed in a Pareto distribution.
• If you run a company, 80% of the employees do 20% of the work, 20% of customers are responsible for 80% of calls and sales.
• In a given domain, the square root of a particular group of people do half the amount of work.
• Matthew principle: To those who have everything, more will be given. From those who have nothing, everything will be taken away.
• Consider this in terms of opportunity.
• There is always going to be someone around who is better than you.
• Jung thought the Book of Revelation was a pendant to the Bible, because the Christ in Gospels was too merciful. An ideal is always a judge. Revelation has Christ coming back as a judge.
• You need an ideal because you have nothing to aim at, but an ideal is a judge and you will always fall short of the ideal.
• Set a high aim, then break the goal down into parts that are challenging enough to push yourself past where you are, but not crushingly distant (reasonable probability of success).
• At 30, the idiosyncrasies of your life make comparison futile as accomplishments are tailored by factors.
• Make today some tiny increment better than yesterday.
• Goals need to be laid out to justify life’s suffering.
• Nietzsche says, “he who has a why can bear almost any how”.
*Do Not Let Your Children Do Anything That Makes You Dislike Them*
• Freudian nightmare: Circle where people are squeezing each other’s necks hard enough to strangle them in twenty years.
• Carl Jung: The shadow (dark side of humanity) has roots reaching all the way to hell.
• Literal & metaphysical application - the very worst and then more proximal kinds of hell.
• If you understand your dark side, you will see in yourself a reflection of the darkest potential. People don’t want to see this so they don’t, but this confrontation is an inevitable barrier to enlightenment.
• Joseph Campbell: “Follow your bliss”
• Jung: “Pursue what’s meaningful and you’ll encounter that which you least want to encounter”.
• God of Horus (Egypt) was a God, but lost an eye in the battle when encountering evil. The Egyptian eye is that lost to Seth, the precursor to Satan.
• Nietzsche punishment: don’t punish people when they do something wrong, this is a moral relief to them. Wait until they do something good, then hurt them.
• When people do something you wish to be replicated, reward them!
• Consult your irritability to prevent conflict and shape the times when others hurt.
• Children must be socially desirable by four, we develop by playing! Adults like developed kids.
*Set Your House In Order Before Your Criticise The World*
• Carl Panzram - Panzram (autobiography) - “Hurry up you bastard, I could kill ten men in the time if takes you to hang me”.
• Columbine kids diaries - why did the kids shoot up the school?
• The above were judges of being as motivated by resentment.
• You must admit to resentment, its fantasies and the way out.
• A resentful person wants others to change are not to be trusted.
• TS Eliot: The cocktail party - “I hope that there’s something wrong with me”.
• If I don’t like life, is my judgement to be trusted if I haven’t done everything I possibly can to set life right?
• The Gulag Archipelago - Solzhenitsyn. One man that stopped lying could spread the dissolution of the Soviet Empire.
• GO over your life with a fine-tooth comb and determine when you took the wrong path when not shieled by ignorance. Take responsibility for where you are, what increased the probability that you came here and what would happen if set everything right in the present.
• Try not doing the things you shouldn’t do, not saying the things you know aren’t true (Mandela agrees).
Do What Is Meaningful, Not What Is Expedient
• The Messiah takes the world’s sins upon Himself - associated with Jung’s shadow.
• The terror that comes in the night
thanks

Antozent- they are selling around 250 self help ebooks for the price of one (including this one)
Dr Peterson mentions it from time to time but bears repeating. One reason so many people come out to listen to him is not because he's saying something 'new'. He's telling people things they already knew were true, but had never been properly articulated. He's reminding people of that which is fundamental to the human experience, that our societies have stopped teaching altogether.
@@Kriegtime101 Such a simplistic accusation! First, Dr Peterson is not just restating any of the obvious or common sense. (He does go through extensive detail from bonafide research to extract conclusions; the titles of chapters in his book are by no means the complete thesis of his findings.). Second, he is not a strict conservative and much more of a classic liberal slightly left of political center, and he is furthermore not political in the first place; he is explicitly a diligent and practicing clinical psychologist and professor. Get beyond the meaningless labels which do nothing constructive.
@@Kriegtime101 Socially retarded? Like liberals acting violent toward people with whom they disagree? I think Dr. Peterson has illustrated perfectly both directly and indirectly that lefties trend toward social retardation at a much higher rate than do conservatives or anyone else for that matter. Go clean your room, get a job and grow the hell up:)
Ironically this comment sounds just like him and I read it in his voice
Yes and it hits us in the gut real good and we intuitively know what he is saying and teaching us is good for us🙏🙏📿📿🌈🌈
Dr Peterson clearly explains the things that everybody knows along with giving us new information in a structured way that we can understand and does not just throw it at us.

Thanks for the notes. Much appreciated.
4 million people took an hour and thirty minutes out of their day to watch a lecture on how to better their lives. I officially have hope for the future.

Hope? It’s sad the world is as fucked up as it is nowadays. But not the fact that people are taking an interest in psychology
It is pretty amazing, isn't it. I will never understand how people see him as some kind of alt-right guru. Clearly they have not heard a word of his lectures. He changed my life in many ways and I'll never tire of hearing his talks.
You seemed like an intelligent form of life and then outed yourself as a moronic homophobe.
When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. We hope to see more like this.
Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.
@@izagdlife I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@BeverlyTalley That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks.

“Make the world a better place because we haven’t got anything better to do”. Thank you.
This is profoundly contradictory with the basic rule of life that states that we first have to survive and thrive by extracting energy from something or someone. Something is missing.
@@samuctrebla3221 You can extract energy from your surroundings in a way that is sustainable. So the rate of depletion is slower than the rate of regrowth. If you are wise about identifying your actual needs, and then find the optimal path to satisfying your needs, then there'll be something left over for others as well.
@@manafro2714 typically our modern society is built on non renewable resources and energy sources. The machines we use multiples the power of per person by a factor of 1000, keeping us away from many needs and hazards.
Modern democracies, not greek ones with armies of slaves, directly depend on our potential to extract energy from other sources than other men. Slavery was basically abolished thanks to the fact that it wasn't profitable anymore, we didn't just wake up one day full of compassion and humanism.
A lot more could be said on the matter. The conclusion would be : species and organizations that thrive maximize, by order of importance : extraction of energy, refining of energy, replication of theses last two functions, protection mechanisms of the group, protection of individual parts of the group (very optional at this point).
Sustainability can be a consequence of a series of adjustment of the warfare for energy, but is is, has not, and will never be a preexisting condition for thriving.
For a psychological point of view, we can visualize our needs and imagine rationally limits. This is some crazy advanced survival tactics, developed to save the group. But we are deeply cabled to break all boundaries otherwise. Peterson's work is only about maximizing individuals potential. We feel like we have to expand, procreate, handle responabilities... To live is to leave a track, but you cannot do anything without taking energy from someone or something. I think there is more to understand.
@@samuctrebla3221 Hi, thank you very much for your detailed answer, I see you have put a lot of thought into it, and so I have tried to consider your points as best as I could. I'm not sure I agree with your point on slavery: you said that it wasn't profitable anymore, but if that had been the case, then why wouldn't people have combined slavery with machines? Do you really think that in a society which relies on slavery, if someone invents machines, masters will suddenly be like "Oh, well we don't need little Timmy to dig holes in the ground anymore, we've got machines for that! Let's liberate little Timmy/kill little Timmy and his entire family!" The only goal of these masters would be to increase energy extraction: if they liberated their slaves, then there's less resources for them (because who would operate the machines? the only alternative to the slaves are the masters), but if they combine their slaves with machines, then they are better off. Someone has to operate machines after all, and if you make slaves do that, you won't have to pay them fair wages. If you need far less slaves, then you just decrease their number, but you don't get rid of them only to have them replaced by former masters who will demand fair wages. As for the other alternative already mentioned (i.e. killing them all off): that would not work for the reasons just mentioned: someone must always operate machines, plus where in history have you ever witnessed mass homicide of slaves after better ways of extracting energy were found?
As for this point: "The conclusion would be : species and organizations that thrive maximize, by order of importance : extraction of energy, refining of energy, replication of theses last two functions, protection mechanisms of the group, protection of individual parts of the group (very optional at this point)."
This would be true in a master-slave type of society, but in a modern one if you are exploiting your workers, you are usually punished. What about dictatorships? Yes, the individual most likely is worth nothing in those societies, and they try to maximize extraction of energy in order to spread their dominance in the entire world, but do they thrive? History seems to have proven that eventually, all dictatorships die.
You said "Peterson's work is only about maximizing individuals potential." My impression of JP is that he tries to strengthen those individual values which bring about a better society. He sometimes talks about rights and responsibilities, and sees the following balance: your right is my responsibility, and the other way around. So he wants to live in a society where things are balanced, you have to do your duty towards me and so do I. The opposite would be one where only one of us would have to do their duty, and the other would have rights only. This would be a master-slave society. JP wants you to develop such qualities that would lead you to have a better life by living a meaningful one, and a meaningful life is one where you are of benefit to yourself and your fellow people.
Let me know what you think, I like to exchange ideas with people who think differently from me. I mean, how else am I going to find out if I'm wrong? :) Someone has to break it to me, and I'm perfectly fine with being wrong, even though I try to be right (or to put it more precisely, I'm fine with being wrong BECAUSE I'm more interested in finding the truth instead of flattering myself with how "smart" I am for "figuring out" how a complex phenomenon actually works, i.e. deluding myself with my own grandiosity).
Thanks! :)
@@manafro2714 Hello again, sorry for the late answer.
1/ [Who operates the machines? Where are the slaves ?] Workers and qualified workers operate the modern perfect slave which is the machine. It's way more effective than feeding and forcing "imperfect" slaves (a.k.a. people) to do basic stupid tasks. I must insist on the fact that the average person, especially in developed countries literally has an invisible army of slaves. The power of your car is worth smtg 1000x the power of your legs, and everything around you takes a crazy amount of energy to produce or to run. And then you need the human cognitive capacity to put all these things (resources and energy) together and operate the system, which by the way is the work we monetize. We did not kill the slaves at all, they aren't just human anymore, for the best.
2/[exploiting the workers is punished] This is wrong to me. We always exploit workers since we only pay men. Nature, our evolutionary complexity, all living species, all natural ressources, are free by definition (Smtih, Riccardo, Say, Marx,...you choose), and the only things we value are what is available only by working. Despite that this principle is now our greatest threat beacause we rely on external sources of physical work, we only pay in men's work, either by salary or unearned income. Even when you buy machines, you eventually pay the successive workers and investors that were involved in the process. The ratio of unearned income to the salary is the toughness of the exploit (which is very fair in a lot of structures).
3/ [Dictatorships always fail, in response to my suggestion of extraordinary democracy]. You certainly speak out of few precise examples, but I cannot see how this can be legitimately true. It's pretty much the opposite. Feudalism was very stable for thousands of years throughout the entire world, either in autocraty or oligarchy. Equal rights and universal right to vote is the most recent political thing. I'm assuming you're American (and your country is a great example of extraordinary democracy and struggle for human rights), but to put things in perspective, the universal right to vote was achieved only in 1920 (women could vote), and in France in 1944. 3 to 4 generations. We could discuss many examples.
4/ [JP proposes to balance rights and duties] Yes, because on an individual basis it literraly makes a lot of sense. I like his thinking. It surely helps a lot of people, and I discovered many things about myself. But in the end, I would sum this up as "what is good for you is good for society" (stay away from chaos and resentement). It is a wish, it's not systematically effective. I wish his vision of balance could embrace the fact that we always need to exploit something or someone, and therefore preserve it. But maybe he said something about that ...
I don’t think many other 17 year olds are watching this, but I for sure am. This man is amazing
Good for you!
Share this video with them, especially if you love them.
17 year old here: (I‘m assuming some things here and they may or may not be right, but I just want to make sure) Don‘t get too cocky about you being „special“ because a lot of other 17 year olds are wasting their time away with expedient goals. As Jordan Peterson said: Don‘t compare yourself with other people, especially with people that are doing worse than you. This can lead to a sense of illusionary accomplishment, which is not constructive in propelling you forward. If you want to compare yourself to someone (as a starting point or a personification of an ideal you strive towards), then make sure it‘s someone who has accomplished more than you. I fail at this often too and I think a healthy amount of acknowledging the fact that you may actually be in the small percent of soon-to-be successful people is OK, but don‘t let it go overboard and stop bettering yourself everyday.
A lot of kids think hes really something...until they realize he's not
There is, you are not special.
To all the teenagers and early 20 s out there. I'm 27 and I wish I had heard this at 15. Do yourself a favor and listen to the man. Don't let your ego get in the way.
alot of the best people people look up to u’ll find didnt achieve/do the things we look up 2 very young & u still r
I am 21, I’ve found out about Peterson about a year and a half ago, everytime that i feel lost, even a bit, i’ll be watching his lectures and listening to his podcasts.
Being from a North African country it’s quite hard to obtain his books. I got them downloaded on my PC still, but it has been a struggle to read PDF because it does much damage to my eyes, and i had failed to obtain the audio version as well. So i just stick to what I can listen to here on TH-cam.
But even that much has been life changing for me, I can’t even count the times that i’ve listened to something that he had said that felt so profound and real to me that I just found myself crying, feeling happy that i am understood, bit ashamed of all the « dead wood » that I wasted so much time not burning, but also encouraged to do just that. Listening to Peterson (or reading) gives you the best mixture of emotion that’s just right to make you feel capable to actually start working on yourself. And it’s such a hopeful idea that just by doing so you eventually make the world a better place. I don’t think i can ever express enough how grateful i am for the existence of this Man.
Mariem Matt 21 & feel the same about him

He is just another alt-lite grifter from Canada who pretends to stand for free speech but really doesn't. They are all like this.
I feel like I just took my brain to a five star restaurant. Wonderful!

I LIKE THAT METAPHOR VERY MUCH
ikravchik What a nice analogy!
This was one of those "putzing around the internet and BOOM" moments. How'd I land here? Who knows? I found myself in your five-star restaurant, ikravchik, and have been nourished to the nth degree; what a miracle to have learned that Jordan Peterson is alive in the world right now! (I'm leaning down to pet my cat, to participate in Being in this one small way...) ~ The line that grabbed me the most: "Their failure to participate fully in being leaves a hole that's precisely the size of their soul in the cultural landscape." I have been moved by Jordan Peterson ... Grateful and galvanized!
What a WONDERFULLY true comment ! Thank you
I was obese, unemployed, without a girlfriend...a meaning, this man and his books helped me massively, now I have a job, I'm graduating at the university in foreign languages, I have an incredible person with me...my girlfriend, I've lost 50kg of bodyweight and...wow life is not that bad guys, thank you Jordan Peterson
50kg? Wow. How'd you get that heavy in the first place, and how'd you lose it in the last place?
Amazing
Awesome, man!
Don’t count your girlfriend as part of you meaning in life, for that can change anytime. Self-validate and determine your self-value from within.
Yaaaassss! Thing just fell right into place for you, check you out!
What a shame that some colleges are prohibiting their students from hearing Jordan Peterson's very important lessons for life. What a great loss. What i've noticed in my "working class life" is that many of the younger people have found him and that his lectures are available online (youtube). We need more of this man and those like him.
They want them to be soft and pliable. They don’t want them to face their dragons. Isn’t it sad. I’m a 50 year old woman and I have an entire playlist I go to often when I need a dad. He just makes so much sense and awakens my soul.

Peaceful is not the same as harmless.

This gives me hope. I'm not sure if this counts as a therapy session but to me it was incredible. Thank you Jordan Peterson
well, you listened, you absolutely get to count this as a therapy session. listen, learn, adjust yourself. therapy. exactly :)
Have you read his book 12 rules of life?
@@tasophy not yet but I've listened to the audiobook, it is next on my list though
You solved my life problem by saying a child that is not socialized by 4 years will never be able to change that. My mom believed she was saving me from germs and uncleanness. So I have always been uncomfortable in groups and with people getting too close. I'm ok, but I love having this clarification about where it could have started. I have a great life and people who accept me as kind of a loner.
For me, the most admirable aspect of what Jordan Peterson has to offer is that he is making the pursuit of virtue cool again 🙌
Does he speak to virtue?
Dylan Russell : When was it not cool? Some of us missed the years of depravity, thank god.
Well, you've got incredibly lucky, my friend.
Make Virtue Cool Again
Dylan Russell Agreed
When I listen to Dr. Peterson I want to be a better person. God bless him. He is a gift to society.
Well said.

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone anymore.

If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!
Always push trough ! You are never suffering alone , as lonely as it might seem
Crazy how Jordan Peterson has a lot of impact. Not only his book is a financial success but also in term of psychological impact.
Some people who sell successfully their book just earn a lot of money get some media coverage and them disappears cause it was there only great thing.
For Jordan it’s more serious than most people he literally had an positive impact to many people just by communicating from TH-cam and books, when he is bad health, everybody worried years later everybody remember him.
His book is not just a financial success, a fun story that may be adapted in a movie. His book has also a psychological impact that makes lives of some people better without having to meet him in person.
To understand a psychologist we have to listen to him and what he says rationally can’t believe some people try to politicise him and his ideas just to make a confrontation.(they don’t like the way he impact people positive way)
He is mostly helping people in the need.
Perhaps in contrast Eckhart Tolle can add also add something to an individual's mental and spiritual well being. His book is called The Power of Now. How very true.

Yes he is amazing the way he relays such in depth information fluently and deeply
He is so articulate! I love listening to him.
This man is a gift to humanity
I’m sure Jordan will agree, that JESUS was and always will be, the best gift to humanity.
@@Anne-ku3lj he said a gift, not the best gift stop pushing religion onto everyone, this is youtube not church, nor a religious campaign
@@ZosaFTW I commend Jordan for his Christian beliefs, and for talking about his faith all the time.
That's what I think. A gift to humanity.
You're joking obviously. The "man" is a eunuch and a moron. He's also a hopeless pill head.
''Until the whole world is redeemed, we all fall short.''
Incredible.
That phrase is actually a Biblical verse from the apostle Paul. In a slight difference. Notice how he follows and quotes alot of things that Jesus christ said?
Its cause his principles are Bible based. Not all but most. He even says it.
Somente às escrituras you got it all wrong. He’s analysis is based on thousands of scientific published research papers by clinicians in Psychology. He’s a professional. He sometimes uses lines/stories from literature (even the Bible) to get a point across. He even quoted Nietzsche earlier. Listen to why he is telling those stories to highlight a broader concept.
@@DeathsAngel323
Look up that phrase then get back to me.
Somente às escrituras you know he is not religious right? So your point makes no sense. You sound like a casual listener. Is this your first time listening to him? You sound like it.
Somente às escrituras I told you why he uses lines from the Bible. He uses lines from all sorts of sources to drive his point home. You should be able to see that.
"Resentful people who want to change the world should not be trusted" thank you Jordan for verbalising such important piece of wisdom.
I can add another piece to that, "Resentful people only want to tear down and have no clue what, if anything, should replace that which they want destroyed." Technically this is why you should not trust them.
@@grimmliberty7447 I don't think that's generally true. People usually know what they want installed as a replacement, that replacement is just generally not better. Demanding a restructuring of a system that is a product of decades of wisdom and thoughtful adjustment demands a solid foundation; one resentful people tend to lack.
I don’t agree with that. You can resent the shitty upbringing you had and how you were treated, and not want to continue to see that in the world.
We’re seeing a perfect example of this with the current woke epidemic that’s slowly ruining/infecting society.
I don't know. I can't imagine the impact of that idea, along with his paean to humility, if they were to be applied by conservatives to American politics presently. Unthinkable. It is a race between embittered resentment or all-knowing pride being the more honored. Quite like the far Left.
I just discovered him like 5 days ago and I can’t stop listening to him . JP is such an inspiration.

@@jencaligal6345 Hi
This man, single handedly, could CHANGE THE WORLD for the better!
His wisdom, resolve, intellect, and care for the world, specially the western culture is the only strong force we have against the tyrannical post-modernist, destructive forces that have infected ALL of our academics, institutions and governments! Bless you Mr. Peterson! Keep up the good fight and WE WILL SUPPORT YOU! Already pre-ordered the book!
AudiS4orce1 maybe he even changes the willingness of individuals to change themselves, which changes the world :]
Exactly! His wisdom and awakening of the ppl, specially young men will CHANGE the world! Heck, I am in my 30s and I've learned so much from him!
He already has. His suffering in the fight with university admin. in Toronto was surely a great part if not most of the health problems he mentions. He is truly giving of himself, and has awakened so many people who were comatose from the lies we have been fed by our supposed educators and authority figures. They are all, without exception, flawed and have feet of clay. The ones who want to destroy (sjws, revolutionaries et al) are not helping the problem, but opening the doors to hell.
Now he has shown us how to start improving our world, by making our own self better.
That awakens our hope, and releases our love - directed at him. But don't even think of making him your idol. He is a man like us, and a great one. If you make him your god you destroy both yourself and your relationship with him. God bless him and you, with all of us.
It is so refreshing to see someone live what he preachess. His main message is that each of us as an individual could impact the world imensly, for better or for worse! We can appreciate what he is doing, and learn a lot from him, but like B flat says, be aware of how high you place Peterson. He could die tommorow, you never know.

@Mark Hi Mark! Being an old-fashioned Christian I've found "The Naked Bible Podcast" by Dr. Michael S. Heiser very helpful. He's nondenominational like me. Thus 'naked Bible'. No denominational filter between him and the Bible. And ... listening to Jordan I've come to think that maybe God has ALSO put some psychology into the Bible. It's such a rich book. So maybe. I don't know, but am thinking about it. And ... I think Jordan is on the brink of becoming a Christian.
Honestly, I don't follow him like a cultist but this man has definitely helped me become a better person today. I lost my job during the covid-19 outbreak but I took what he said to heart and ignored the crisis and worked hard. during a job test I cried in the middle of the night because I thought I would never get to the cut off but It was really ingrained into me that we have the power to change our lives, it is up to us. So, I stood up! Sat down straight, Wiped my tears and took control. I made it! I got the job, built my very first computer, got tons of freelance work and retained my relationship with my family, girlfriend and peers. There are more fighting to be done but it gives me courage to have that control. His lessons change me a better man, father, lover and son. Thank you.

"You are devaluing what you say if you are offering it to an audience that doesn't listen"
damn
Although I somewhat agree with his thought, if you are humble enough, you won't care what people have to say/think about your own words/opinions. You will seek to just listen and observe others. I understand this may come across as "passive" or "weak" in the perception of some, but it really is a strength. If you understand that it doesn't matter what others think of your advice, stories, or speech in general, then you can say what's on your mind 100x more than you normally do, and you can also become a much better listener. In my opinion, listening trumps speaking by a long shot. But once again, this may not apply to everyone and it may also be wrong in the sense of gaining respect and/or admiration.

Rod 1984 to be fair, at 7, you probably talked a lot of shit.
Listen to this talk with an open heart. I grew up in communist Hungary, where my father was imprisoned and almost beaten to death because he spoke his mind. We were fighting against oppression, torture. and ideological enslavement. In 1956, the whole world was watching as we were fighting the invading Russian army with a few guns and Molotov cocktails. Noone helped. I guess we didn't have enough oil. Pay close attention to the lessons in this talk and do your share to make sure that history doesn't repeat itself.

Before I heard of Jordan Peterson I did not even realize that in these new times we were missing a public figure who we can look up to, someone who inspires us, teaches and gives us a good example. For me, and millions of others, JP feels like the father figure
Interesting, ya , just I would be careful to idealize people you don’t know- but he has a lot to offer to building a better life
"For me, and millions of others, JP feels like the father figure I finally found." And that's the problem right there. He targets his myopic and one-dimensional platitudes towards your kind. The lost, the father-less, the ones who (wrongly) believe everything will change overnight in their lives if they just "think right". "The father figure I finally found." And that is telling. For only lost people listen to him and are "inspired".
In addition to calling him myopic and one dimensional, can you use reason to disprove any of his claims?

Peterson brings to awareness that which is convoluted or already gathered; articulating that which is deeply known, revitalizing the memory of the masses.
Peoplekind*
Peterson is putting conservatives into a deep hypnotic sleep.
The most endearing thing about JBP is that he is such a deep and honest thinker and yet can laugh at his own foibles. Thats the measure of true honesty , the ability to laugh at oneself.
Jordan has the gift of storytelling… factual storytelling… all the while wearing his emotions on his sleeve. A gifted storyteller draws you in and Jordan does this EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
Ha! Can see myself in the second row with a big ass grin. Absolutely fantastic evening, Peterson is a saint and it's impossible to even begin describing what a positive impact he's having. Thank you for hosting Peterson.
Ikari I see people time and time again coming up on stage and showing people what THEY are doing to improve OTHER people's life(and that is fine), but this is the first man that comes on stage and asks the audience to improve the own life and TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, and as he had admitted that it is really strange that people actually come time and time again to listen to him, that's how much people have been deprived of this message.
Agreed ! He is selling responsibility, to quote dave mustaine , "roughly speaking" " Jordan B Peterson- "responsibility is my business and business is good" !!! Lol!!
I'm your 300th thumbs up..........
Jordan is like the elder around the fire 30,000 years ago for 2019
He is an elder. A wise elder. truth rings true.
And a father and example of positive manhood for western males.
2020
Nice one! :)
A+ analogy broo!!
You have lead me to God and made me question myself , then made me question God, then made me question why I believe in God, then lead me back to him in the most healing way. I love you!
Do you believe in God?
The road to redemption and enlightenment through GOD is the way.
that is freaking amazing!
My parents used to tell me the dinosaurs where put there by God to test our faith. Logic is the enemy of belief.
So beautifully expressed.
the most eloquent fluent speaker I ever done heard!
lets be brave and add #13 rule! C'mon 13 ain't unlucky......Dad was child 13 so its lucky for me......
“The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.”
― Jordan B. Peterson
Why would u wanna do that
@@ciaran6309 in order for you life to have meaning
@@thnxm8 nonsense. U don't need to find the largest burden to have meaning in life
@@ciaran6309 what then? smartass
ciaran well a burden that is worth it for you! It’s obviously going to look different for everyone else. Some responsibility’s/burden will be easier for some than others to the degree that they can handle.
Jordan seems to be much happier of late. It's nice to see him smile.
He was chuckling a lot in his interview on C4
yeah, he seems now to have found himself in his new role as controversial public person, understandably it must have been quite scary and taken some time getting used to. imagine the pressure
Jordan got a blunt just before the show :P. Or he just happy to be in the Netherlands with more like-minded people.
He's probably following his own rule-book.
He has commented that for the first 6 months of his recent "notoriety" (my word, not his) he was in total fear - fear of saying the wrong thing, being "found out", etc. He obviously had little to worry about. His natural demeanor is to be not only quite clever, but pretty funny at times, as well.
Any day I listen to a new Peterson video... is a good damn day.
Same here. So many things wrong things within me have fixed automatically.
Watch him everyday so would have a good life
Jordan peterson is a proof for the existence of the idea of Ying and Yang.
While the world goes nuts, he appeared and sets simple things strait.
Thx a lott Dr. Peterson
TL;DW
1 Stand up straight with shoulders back (lobster - story)
2 Treat care of yourself like you would take care of some loved one
3 Make friends with people who want the best for you
4 Compare yourself to who you were yesterday; not someone else today (self note - aka Kaizen)
5 Do not let children do anything that would make you dislike them
6 Resentment - Quite whining or Someone is playing Tyrant with you
7 Do what's meaningful not expedient.
8 To stop being a Nazi know that the Nazi is you (self note - recognize the darkness within you)
9 Assume the person you are listening to knows some that you don't (What you don't know is much more important than what you do)
10 Don't bother children when they are skateboarding - Masculinity
11 Call to encouragement - Take Responsibly
12 Pet a dog when you encounter one on the street - Notice the unexpected beauty life
Although these are some quick notes. I recommend you watch the whole video.
Sometimes the story/anecdotes drives home the point that the point title does not.
I was going to make notes of the talk anyways, so i thought might as well share it with others.
This gives me a feeling, i would be frequenting here quite some time.
I would update/expand/clarify each time.
H2S04 thanks for this good work!!!
P N
No problem man. Take care.
The MVP! Thanks for the list.
Thank you for improving the lot of those of us who haven't seen all the rules yet. You have helped us get our rooms in order, easier to stand up straight now with shoulders back! You probably score high on agreeableness and conscientiousness:)))
H2S04 echoes of gratitude. Hydrogenperoxide ?
" Until the entire world is redeemed, we all fall short".... Marvelous.
I've never in my life bought a book. I've never had the interest.
My book arrives in 3 days and I cannot wait to read it.
ExedraCS you are an example of why humanity is failing.
@@Kriegtime101 Humanity is actually more prosperous and peaceful than it has ever been. To think that humanity is failing is ignorant and shows your lack of knowledge and perspective.
eCommerce Dean lol
Good for you.
So because he bought a book he genuinely is interested in he gets attacked. Not saying his response was appropriate, but come on people try being reasonable once and awhile.
Dr. Jordan is really amazing. Giving his knowledge to lots of people and end up crying deep inside because he feels the pain from us.
FIRST RULE: LICK THE ORBANUS HARD LIKE KNIGHT JORDAN S PEDERSEN THE WHITE NAZI
j peterson Nazi orbanuskisser:
"my message to Hungarians:
what your prime minister is trying to do is to restore the metaphysical foundation of Hungarian culture".
Oh my God....... if there ever was a lecturer who shed light on the meaning of life this was it! Powerful beyond belief...
Paul Fulcher he’s got it locked, if only he could remember the order of the the chapters in his book
I think Jordan Peterson is the most important person alive today.
I don't think you can value someone's importance like that. People are important in many different ways to different people, like a doctor keeping a child from dying as we speak or a parent that are raising the person that will cure cancer.
My point is that I don't think saying someone is the most important person is a good way of looking at people.
@@LiveAtEs I'm not going in to all the claims you just made with 0 backing, that's what people like you do and I have better things to do than spending my energy on facebook scholars.
My point is that the importance of a person isn't binary, you should value peoples importance in relation to something.
William Perry, US Secretary of Defense back in 1980. Due to a malfunction in the system they got data that suggested that 200 missiles where headed from Russia to the USA. Even though everyone told him to call the president and warn the country which would have led to the USA firing nukes back, William Perry didn't trust the data and stood his ground, because of that Perry singlehandedly prevented ww3. Imagine how great of an impact he has had on the WORLD, not just America.
Saying people are "the most important" just shows that you think at the lvl of a child.
@@LiveAtEs Alright gender politics is worse than a ww3 of nukes... I see. Well have a nice day in fucking ompa loompa land my dude, I'm not having this conversation.
@@anbuhyuga8299 Yeah ? Maybe you're a flambé.
One of the most valuable and important men of our generation.
I truly hope his recovery is going well.
@@regben2057 What happened to him?
Aldo Arista benzodiazepine withdrawal, but he’s recovered now, so good news!
I agree with you. God bless him always!!
Dr Peterson is the parent millions of us never had.
So refreshing to see him in his own element and not being thrown in a cage with people attempting to “defeat” him intellectually. Just listen.... you may learn something.
@@murtisoft go get a dump taken on your chest.
I guess he just wanted to be in a padded cage in a straight jacket arguing with himself....
@@murtisoft its the clonazepam that i overdose on everyday
@@deepakpatnaik8457 Your judgment of @Kriegtime101 aside... He is making some very important facts about JP in the comments.
Listening to his stuff while out on a sunny walk is quickly becoming one of my new favourites.
smart AND gorgeous...
I do the same in the forest at night listening to jordan P on my headset :)
Exactly what I have just done. Feel a lot better and clearer....
@@Songanddancekidz Ye isn't it just the best? :)
I cried at the end of this video. I've felt like a bad person for a couple years now due to some mistakes I made which resulted in people I loved being hurt badly. Although they have forgiven me and showed me they love me regardless I couldn't forgive myself and I've tried to change who I was back then. I realized that I'm not a bad person because I'm constantly engaged in becoming a better one, for me and as a result for others, my loved ones. I try very hard to develop myself into a more integrated and full person, and someone conscientious and Peterson understanding how imperfect we are and how in spite of that we have the ability to try and improve really takes a big chunk of the burden off my shoulders. I feel blessed. I feel as if I was meant to know of this man and be attracted to what he says.
Thank you for sharing. I don't think I was a bad man when I was younger, I know I was. BUT I am no longer that person nor will I ever be again. I would rather die/be killed. Again, thank you. It's nice to hear "myself" echo from within society.
Sounds like you need a Dad... “The idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.” Islamophobia is “a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons”. White privilege is “a Marxist lie”. Believing that gender identity is subjective is “as bad as claiming that the world is flat”. --- If you agree with any of these statements you're a fucking idiot! (And not a "brilliant" psychology professor unfortunately)...
Oh... Just please...
Clash & Bake trust that the universe brings you what you need at the right time!
it seems you have learned a great lesson. Have you looked into different spiritual world views. I think you might find some great comfort there. Sacifice is a great thing in a troubled world...
Just been introduce to Peterson by my 23 year old son. And to say the truth I admire him for discovering this in his tender age
I feel like I'm witnessing one of the greatest minds of the age. My children will learn about him in school and me as a old man will say i was there.
Yes
sounds a bit like a cult
@@elgagalari Or historical documentation being re taught to future generations like any other historical figure. That's the point of the comment I'm pretty sure. You're response seems like a desperate and baseless jab.
Ralph Rugan my son turned me onto Jordan , he listens to him daily.
@dhv2 this was the first video of him I've ever seen other than his very first viral video debating a crowd on campus. I just keep seeing him everywhere it's obvious he will be regarded for a long time.
When he was talking about reading the diaries of the Columbine kids, a line from an interview with Marylin Manson popped into my head. Micheal Moore asked him, "If you were to talk directly to the kids at Columbine and to the people in that community, what would you say to them if they were here?" Manson's answer was perfect. "I wouldn't say a single word to them, I would listen to what they have to say, and that's what no one did." In my opinion, Manson nailed it.
Correct, on the road to truly fixing these deep mental problems, we must listen much more than assume.
The ultimate question in life that I believe is still unsolved, is whether or not people are "born bad" or if it really is all just a collaborative effort of your family's influence, childhood, and what you consume that pushes you to the side of evil..
"Manson nailed it." He did indeed. Unfortunately very few took the lesson to heart. This is still a problem and it has rapidly become worse since then. The media, parents, teachers, and mental health workers who interact with boys at risk continue to scapegoat apparently everything OTHER than the root of the problem. It will continue to worsen still.
@@nicebars Oh I think it's fairly well understood to be both. The one tends to put an individual at risk to development especially poorly if the other is also present. Serial killers are a good sample to dive in to as considerable effort has been devoted to analyzing their childhood and adolescent circumstances. Talking about the average here, though. There are outlier cases on both sides of that. Also there is an entire third category when it comes to crminal pairs of people. The pairing of two (man and man, man and woman, or woman and woman) adds a complex relationship such that it's questionable whether either of the individuals would have committed similar crimes without the other being part of the picture.
@@stoutlager6325 Wow that's actually an interesting point you brought up with the third "pair" category.. I never thought of it. So you're saying two seemingly good individuals could form a team, and somehow be consumed by a bad idea/evil thought and then carry it out regardless of if they had good childhoods or were just good by nature?
The moderator, who is introducing Mr. Peterson, has impressed me very much. He has the kindest face I've seen in years. Such a pleasure to just watch him. Soothing voice to accompany it. Delightfully British as well. Love his sense of humor!
Sir, would you like another person in your family? I volunteer! The world is a better place, because of you.
He reminds me of Ben Kingsley
He was recently jailed for locking a baby in a hot car ... toasted the fucker
shrugby Official Where can I find an article about that? I’m curious as to what happened
@@jameslacey1921 He was just trolling.
"Until the entire world is redeemed, we all fall short". Very interesting closing statement. Reminds me of the bible verse, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ." Romans 3:23,24

I was there and it was my birthday best gift I give my self I loved it so much 💕
Nataki Jean-baptiste helllo nataki! Its miki we went to high school together, i was 1 grade ahead of you. I was sitting 8 or 9 seats to your left, you looked directly at me a few times and i waived. You didnt recognize me lol. Anyways, i was happy to see you again looking great as you always did. Happy birthday!
Miki Miyazaki shit and she still hasn't responded.cold.
Nataki Jean-baptiste
That is awesome! I am really happy for you. I am glad that the video was posted so I could experience it with you.😄
Where was this?
You're a bitter resentful man. Sort yourself out.
1:21:10 I haven't cried in months or maybe years. This made me cry. Not only is Dr. Peterson an extremely intelligent and attentive person, he has a way of describing powerful emotions humans can have that just breaks me sometimes. You can see in his eyes that he has had many dragons to face in his lifetime, but he conquered them all and he's still standing. He gives me hope for myself and for humanity at large. Why some people choose to disregard all this and only see the projected evil in him is making me sad, but as he said, we have to try our best to not only better ourselves but better our environment with it. So here's to changing naysayers' minds about Dr. Peterson and making them see the great truths he is putting forth. Here's to the great logos!
Jordan Peterson would call you bitter and resentful. Maybe you should clean up your act before you pass judgement about "normies".
Also characterizing everyone but yourself as a "normie" and putting yourself up on some kind of pedestal is exactly the kind of thinking Jordan Peterson would absolutely despise.
I am moved. I sat through this whole thing in awe. Never heard of him before I am so glad I found this. He says what we all need to hear, over and over again. A man to look up to, to trust. Teaching good teaching what our children need to be taught. I'm going to start sharing this over and over. We all should. He is amazing. I had to rewind quite a bit because it was hard fir me ti grasp at times I mean I got it but took me a couple tries some times. I'm inspired to do better to help to be self conscious all of it. I will be listening to this again.
Thank you so much for this.
Check out Jim Rohn I call him gran pa
How wonderful to see so many positive responses to JP, who is not only an eminent psychologist but a humble and honest human being. Since this is your first exposure, I recommend that you listen to the tapes of his U of T lectures, from before he wrote this book. All of his academic career showed the same pursuit of truth. Not to mention, his incredible ability for verbal expression
I just wish he lives a very long life and keeps doing what he is doing.
Well said
