Yes one of the greatest things to happen was to find his lectures. He introduced me not only to his own teachings, but to the teachings of Jung, Freud, Piaget and most prominently of all, he allowed me to find God; after watching his biblical series.
A man like this comes along but once in two or three lifetimes, may be more. He is surely a hero in the classical sense. His reputation will grow. I have got so much out of following him. He should be nominated for a Nobel prize. He is far more worthy than many of the recipients (no disrespect to them intended) we have seen in recent times. My 11 year old son likes to listen to him too. I expect it to stand him in good stead as he evolves into adulthood. Thank you for everything you have done Jordan B Peterson.
@@Lightnings CBA to spell it out for you so I'll just send you this www.bitchute.com/video/AOTvbgfK43rX/ Essentially radical individualism doesn't give you meaning and has lead to the destruction of the West. Peterson is right on a lot of things, but he's wrong about Individualism.
Peterson is a treasure. There are few people who communicate without a self benefitting agenda like JPB does but, one get's the feeling that he really is after the truth, regardless of where that search leads. The ideologically possessed that he abhors seem to have no concept of this, that's why I love him.
Well he's certainly profitting from it. On a variety of points, there's a whole spectrum of benefits opening up for him. But I feel like he does deserve it after all and he _does_ seem to be after the Truth. To make the world a better place. So more power to him, as far as I'm concerned eh?
It's powerful to intersect the potentially esoteric feeling of "being in the right place at the right time" with the conscious decision and process of enacting one's personal responsibility in manifesting their best in the world. How do you know you are doing what you are best equipped to do? Well, you'll feel it. Simple - elegant - useful
@@jenniferlawrence1372 Is that so bad after all? ;) I personally would love a relationship like that. Firm and grounded. But obviously, never give up yourself completely for someone else. Which I don't think he did, because he _tried_ to carry on. It's easier said than done, to make yourself not dependent on anyone else. I do aim for that. We're human after all.
@@Lightnings Not sure why you would think that is bad or that I was saying it was bad? Oh what sad times are these when I need to specifically state that faithfulness to one’s spouse is a GOOD thing. (referencing Roger The Shrubber there)
Dr Peterson got my attention, I can say that for sure. An articulate individual that speaks common sense, with a firm enough grasp on the currents in the flow of life, to inspire the need for discussion.
Our sense of humanity quite sublime , people emotion get to be obstinate in reason , others apprehend and impulsive , to different angle of character ...... God bless Professor Jordan Peterson !
Vital engagement in being and the play circuit! You speak a language that reaches people at their absolute core. Thank you for pointing me to Jakk Panksepp, Doc. So glad to see you back on the scene.
Dr Peterson really helped me better engage the societal aspects of the insanity that is postmodernism. And he helped me better understand the psychological dimension to the Aristotelian and Aquinas' philosophical realism which I hold actually shows the action of God in the world by reason alone. His psychology dovetails perfectly with the Personal ground of existence itself in God. Great stuff.
No I think the wisdom he possessed and shared with me did. The man is a pure vehicle for the truth and wisdom he shares. I dare not put another man on a pedestal too high he can't get off.
Oh my gosh he's wearing a lobster tie. But more seriously, "Do what is meaningful, not what is expedient" is probably the most meaningful (pardon the pun), of the 12 Rules (or 42) to me. I don't need to be told to pet a cat, it's in my DNA, like I came out of the womb and made a beeline for the nearest kitty. I never encounter a kid on a skateboard. But I regularly, daily, nay, hourly, struggle with choosing the meaningful over the expedient, even when the meaningful is that which will actually be better for me and make me happier. I don't know if it's the human condition but it's definitely my condition.
Jordan B Peterson taught us the nature of suffering and it's natural for us human being to have such thing. Lord Buddha had done many contribution to nature of suffering and nirvana (free from suffering). He stated that attachment is the root cause of suffering. Same goes by as Jordan B Peterson linked the evolutionary part with the nature of suffering. He stated that it's meaning that sustain us in this suffering journey. And I can't say much more on this because I too haven't understand this whole thing about psychology in a more advanced way.
I'm really glad to get more book recommendations off him in these emails, I've really loved some books he has suggested before like Solzhenktsyn's, The Rape of Nanking and The road to Wigan pier. Though, the most important for me has certainly been discovering Carl Jungs work through him
I think you can make strong argument for religion becouse of that. If sense of meaning is deep instintc, and does not have it fundaments in thought and reason, nothing fits as Great the ultimate meaning as religion.
It's just Jordans personality if you take a meyers briggs test they ask you things about how much you like structure and discipline etc. He's smart and well educated too but lots of his teaching are obviously reflective of his own lifestyle preferences.
Interesting. Yes, we almost certainly have an instinct to create meaning. If we don't reflect on our 'meanings', then they can probably call them products of our instincts alone. But most of us question and think about our meanings and often consciously adapt them. Most importantly, our meanings are human creations; they are not absolute meanings. We are so conditioned by our instinct to create meanings that we often believe there are meanings outside of ourselves. I believe that is an illusion.
4:32 If meaning is "instinct that guides you", then what are values. I always thought values are what guides you in life. And values can be articulated, instincts not so much.
@@JohnSmith-zo6irI would say this definition of values is predicated on a poor understanding of both value and culture. Values are nearly inseperavle from intuitions.

Russian have great neuropsychologist because they are not so 'hung up' on social constructionism and woke ideas - they actually believe that nature and nurture work together as influences not only on people but, in the additive, also on whole societies...
He could just say "engaging positive progress in life" and it would still be much shorter than his definition at the beginning but would actually be understandable as opposed to the completely unparsable usage of the word "meaning". In this context there is zero relevance to its more common definition. (that of a synonym with the word "definition").
I would guess you don't read much philosophy or epistemology if you think "definition" is the common usage for "meaning." It might be in common usage, but that is clearly not in view here.
