- Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. In 1999, he published his first book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief, which became the basis for many of his subsequent lectures. The book combined information from psychology, mythology, religion, literature, philosophy, and neuroscience to analyze systems of belief and meaning. He began to receive widespread attention in the late 2010s for his views on cultural and political issues. In 2018, he published his second book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. Promoted with a world tour, it became a bestseller in several countries. Peterson is widely regarded as the greatest philosopher of the 21st century. His ideas focus on empowering humanity on an individual level by taking responsibility and pursuing a noble aim.

This audio clip comes from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's 12 part lecture series that can be heard here • The Psychological Sign...
The most powerful thing I've learned from Dr. Jordan Peterson: Change yourself and you will change the world. Change starts on an individual level. Individual freedom comes with taking individual responsibility. Do not play the victim game. Take your power back.

When you live under a system that is designed to oppress people who don't fit the standards of the elite and don't already belong to it, it is not "victim game" to point this out. What Peterson and many like him forget is they are starting on the course of life with no immediate and externally applied hindrances. Jon Scalzi's gamer theory of privilege and advantage should be studied by anyone and everyone who thinks "victim mentality" is the problem. We are not in a fair and equitable society and cannot be so long as people like him lie to the rest of us about where the fault more often lies. It does take work. In groups. Overthrowing and remaking the power structure cannot be achieved by individuals acting alone.

Paradise Matrix "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world where none suffered, where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster. No one would accept the program."

That's not his point, though.
Encouraging people, to work on themselves on an individual level first and to make sure, they've actually earned the right, to critize society (never mind, completely overhaul it) and protesting real, tangible injustices are not mutually exclusive goals.
The ability and willingness, to stand up, for what's ethically right and just (even at a high cost), is something, he actually considers as a very much necessary part of character development.
But none of this has anything to do, with 'victim mentality'. 'Victim mentality', is when you're a lazy, useless lout, who blames 'society' for their lack of sucess. When you're not even really trying, before you complain. And you know perfectly well, there are people like that if you have any life experience. Just as their people, who are genuinely and heartbreakingly disadvantaged by circumstances. But even for the latter, it's still the most sensible advice, to work their asses off and see, where that gets them, instead of resigning themselves to their situation.
Peterson is a Psychologist. He tries to help people on an individual level. He's basically just telling people, what they should have been taught by their parents at about 5 years old. And it's actually a particularly important message exactly for disadvantaged people. Because it's the only realistic way for them, to actually improve their lot.
What he says, works for a lot of people...many of them young men, who would otherwise have gone down a very unfortunate and self destructive path in life.
How people can interpret that as him defending social injustices, is totally beyond me. Except of course, that most of them have never actually listened to the man and instead rely on dishonest, sensationalist media coverage for their 'information'.
I love your videos. Love JP. I was looking through your merchandise for small posters of some of the art.... just a thought.
Just want to give a huge like to who ever does the artwork.
Pretty fucking incredible
Google doodly.com
Agreed!!
Can I have a huge hug instead
@@KENNETHTXMMA Wow this is very deep, good words

@Janice Brown where did you get it? I tried to google it didnt help
Tell that to Christians.
Hi guys im a small Army Vet. & TH-cam creator and during these hard times many people are going into some type of depression, I have dealt with depression and won, im here to help, subscribe to my channel if it not for you maybe it can help someone else, stay positive blessings to you.
Wow. This stopped me😳
LOL I find it hilarious that people are quoting other people on a video where you could have easily quoted JP, but all of his quotes are fucking stupid sounding so I get why you didn't....
The right-left brain / yin and yang-face needs to be on a shirt. The artwork is especially wonderful in this one.
I second that. I would totally buy a shirt with that on the back and an after skool logo on the left chest side.

True that would make an epic shirt
Agreed !
Agreed! That brain image was nuts. Sell merch of your art, please!
The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. The “purpose of life” is “a life of purpose”, but you need to find that gift first 🖖
I am the cool kid from Germany making videos for the USA and the rest of the world. I will make your day so don't say nay to my videos today, dear old
The problem is that sometimes responsibilities to family, elderly parents....can stop you from pursuing that meaning of life. By the time your responsibility ends you may be too old to pursue it.
@@johnl.7754 You decide by talking with yourself, what & who you need to be responsible for. But I mean that. If you lie to yourself & run from responsibilities, you are the one who will lose the most. So be honest with yourself about what you feel is true & which actions make the most good.
the purpose of being alive is just being alive
and that's the thing... finding that gift
The balance between the noble aim, and paying attention to the present moment is the see-saw we tread as humans!
Been feeling so down, lost and unchallenged. This makes so much sense.
“The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.”
― Jordan B. Peterson
Love this. It's so useful when you are confronted with a big challenge.
@@AfterSkool 100%. And it's my Peterson's favorite quote.
“The difficulty is the destiny.” -Jordan Peterson
Did he quote that in one of his lectures ?
A man he regret would regret to debate 4 years later and get annihilated
This is so very true. I practiced karate, running and powerlifting all at once for 14 years. But when I got good at karate, quite strong etc.. the fun was gone. I got really deoressed because of that. My life was gone. Now i live a calm life in the forest, practicing woodcarving. I suck at it but it excites me for hours on end. And this time, I'm wise enough to apreciate the journey :-)
I wish i had a dad lol. Jordan Peterson seems like one person out there that actually cares for ya and offers advice that isn’t just self serving.
so true, Dr Peterson, it moves me to tears. Well done, After School, you prove that WE LEARN FOR LIFE, NOT FOR SCHOOL
If loving Jordan Peterson is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
“You can only find out what you actually believe (rather than what you think you believe) by watching how you act. You simply don’t know what you believe, before that. You are too complex to understand yourself.”
― Jordan B. Peterson
@Janice Brown Beautifully said, Janice!
This is incredibly powerful to me at this moment. That last few months, I've been trying to better myself and I've been doing a decent job at it I like to think, meditating nearly every day, been in the best shape I've been in, confidence in myself and my abilities. I've been trying to find spirituality within me and the signs are clearly directing me towards God. I've been on a mission at work to move up and I'm finally on the cusp of it.
Yesterday I was hanging out with some co-workers (4 guys, 2 girls) from work at the beach (there's a girl that I was infatuated with that hangs out with this particular group of co-workers, I thought I would join in the hopes they would put in a good word for me). Anyways, we're there playing drinking games, getting high. They start talking about going back to their house, continuing the party and inviting more girls over. Suddenly I get this overwhelming feeling that I shouldn't put myself in that situation. I immediately start drinking water to sober up after realizing the co-worker that was supposed to drive me back home has been drinking this whole time. I can feel the mood start shifting, some of them start to peer pressure me into drinking more and whatnot but I hold fast and tell them I'm good.
As we start to get ready to head out, I hear this seagull calling and I turn around to face it and I see it pecking at a book where these other beach goers were just moments ago. And I'm looking at this book and a thought pops into my head, "how weird to just leave a book laying here at the beach when they packed up all their stuff." I walk over to it and low and behold, it's the Holy Bible. I'm stunned. I pick it up and tell them what I found, I hear one of the girls say "ew." Not sure which one.
Anyways, our group of guys start walking away, I still have the Bible with me and one of them ask me to read a verse from it. At random, I opened up the Book and I land on Proverbs 4:23, Warning Against Adultery 5.
I couldn't be more thankful and blessed to have found this Book and I also wanna thank Jordan Peterson for the talks he's done and shared with all us.
Be well, be blessed.
@Janice Brown Welcome Janice!
As a humorous but interesting analogy, I used to say winning the lotto would be similar to clearing a GTA game when you were a kid. All of a sudden realising "what will I do now?"
Cure the world of suffering with your blessings. Or buy the sequel ;)
Money would solve most of my problems. It still wouldn't give me any meaningful purpose though. I really don't think there is one for me.
@@someonesomeone25 maybe feeling and wondering about a purpose distracts you from just enjoying what's around you and stops you enjoying the will of being able to do what you like with your movements and choice of thought. This way you could be naturally living your purpose and enjoying it.
@@frankoconnor4137 Without a purpose I feel a sense of emptiness and pointlessness which bleeds into my life. I drift, and am able to gain moments of pleasure, but without a reason to be or do I find myself bored and lethargic and miserable. I need a compelling reason.
@@someonesomeone25 sad
I needed this to explain what is happening with me atm. Perfect timing, thank you!
So happy to hear. Jordan has improved my life so much as well. You may really enjoy his lectures:)
Good thing is, a lot of us will and do feel the same. We maybe lonely but we are not alone
I’m with you on this one 👌
Same. Notification came up for this just as I needed it. Coincidences don't exist!

I see new video from After Skool - i go on break to enjoy it, no exceptions
The nobler the aim, the better your life 💯
Absolutely✊
& u beautiful😉😊
This was amazing. Find your noble aim. Deactivated my insta, fb, and snap (the social media apps I used constantly) about a week ago and I’ve felt so much happier. I’m not on my phone as much, I’ve significantly stopped comparing myself to people, I’m living in the moment (no more taking pics every 2 min of things I’m doing like food or places I’m in and sharing them with people I barely even talk to or don’t even talk to on social media, I’m more focused with making connections with people in person and giving them my full attention without going on my phone, I feel more productive, the list goes on... I pray you (whoever reads this) finds their noble aim and true happiness. I’m not perfect but I’m working on it myself too. 🙏🏿
Dr. Jordan Peterson is like a father to me 🙏🏾
...Just in case we were forgetting just how awesome Dr Peterson is. What a gift his clarity is in these strange days.
When you feel that sense of balance like you are in the right place at the right time is amazing, but it's so hard to prolong it
Must have listened to that particular lecture at least 3 times already...it's one of my favorites.
A noble aim to bring value and help people in society will make your existence have meaning and in the process help yourself and keep you saint. Learn and practice truth for life!!!
These videos always help me get my life back on track
Just remember, *the nobler your aim, the better your life.*
What a legend - jP changed my life
Live a humble life and everything is a surprise.
He's describing flow; when your fully engaged and challenged but not wracked by the challenge itself.
being completely honest, I feel like some of this philosophy just doesn't translate for me the way he explains it. I think that most of my life has been letting go of ambition and being happy with who I am today. I am going exactly where I'm going and I'm confident that it will be a good place if i live truly and mindfully. "Planning for the future only applies to those capable of living fully in the present moment" - Alan Watts.
Well Jordan talks about the burden of real life, where you have books to pay, kids to rise, a job to keep. In that real world you have to plan...think ahead, outmaneuver and so on...
I'm with ya. I have to let go of trying to control the outcome. Maybe I won't have that dream house in the countryside, or the motorcycles in that garage, or run a multi million dollar business/dental practice, but guess what? I'm ok with it now. It's not in my control. All i can do is try, take action on what the matters that are important to me, the outcome is not in my control. My only fear is not having the opportunity to pursue my goals/purpose. What is a man supposed to do then?
@@ThePunter209 Don't be too hesitant at bringing your future into being. A noble aim for the individual (your work benefits the individual _and_ group (selfish _and_ good)) is how one surmounts obstacles, such as a lack of starting competency. 'Controlling the outcome' as you put it, _is_ something the new marxists want to do, and it _is_ because of their fascination with utopia, and their desire to hold established corporate power structures to their propagandist nonsense: that if only you do as you're told and consume products, your life will improve/attractive rich people will like you.
Reading your comment, i feel validated about 'my' theory that most utopias are mostly subconscious projections of the family home, 'the king and the castle,' in which all things are designed for the benefit of the children of The Father, seemingly at an individual level (a sufficient definition of the family motif of The Gospel of Matthew, 7:7 (pray, and you certainly will receive)).
What i mean by this ramble is that one, you, shouldn't 'wait for opportunity' like it's a sort of 'permission from God.'
There's a vacuum in the world for men who understand that a hard work ethic, and a generous spirit, naturally generates the trappings of utopia (suburban middleclass family life) around that person.
I think it's common in Jewish theology to regard heaven as a return to the garden of eden, and, i think there is something to that (at least it's more literal than the parody of King David's royal court that is Christian heaven), as an explanation of the afterlife.
What i'm getting at is _role._
The inner child wants to return to the garden of eden, as the child. A man wishing for this finds himself alone- no God will appear to him until he looks closely in the mirror.
-Horus
@@ThePunter209
Great points, feel the same way, I wanna live my life and not to the expectations of the society and the world
I think Dr Peterson is the most inspiring lecturer of the 21st century.
I love this guy, it was a gravitational sensation, actually began with him describing the complexity problem, then the sentence about finding your own words, the path to enlightenment barred by a walk through hell, and this one finally at the highest speed flying in the full gravity of this metaphysical channeling
This is the essence of JPs teachings. So eloquent. Thank you for this video brother ❤️
You!❤️Here!
Don't forget that time the left went to far
he is right, life is not worth living after 75 years.
Erectile dysfunction! Thankyou jordan peterson
Basically, keep an open mind, keep setting goals and never lose your imagination
Paradise Matrix "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world where none suffered, where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster. No one would accept the program."
Nobody buys vr devices anymore
While I personally am not religious myself, I do like to try and get some moral lesson out of these stories. And your comment really does equate to the story of Adam and Eve. They were given ‘a perfect world’ and they didn’t accept it. They broke the one rule of not eating the golden apple. They rejected the programme. Perfection isn’t perfect
Yo I’ve been thinking about the paradise Matrix recently and the ideas behind it.
And I wondered, when we do all die, what happens when humans decides to reject the the paradise God created. I bring this up because everyone’s interpretation of paradise is different, and I wonder how a divine being can satisfy humans. And you would think well, we’ll have our own worlds in the afterlife, where we can make up our own paradise, but wouldn’t that make us the loneliest people in that world?
@@mrcinema9291 I think The Good Place handled this concept of rejecting paradise excellently. I won’t spoil it if you haven’t seen it, but if you are interested in this whole topic, I suggest a watch! As a philosophy graduate, this is all so interesting to discuss
I like the idea of paradise being our own individual realities that we construct. And you would be perfectly correct in saying that there would bound to be some who reject this due to realising it is artificial and not real. I suggest looking up The Experience Machine online. This thought experiment by Robert Nozick is essentially what we are talking about :)
@@Andy-es2lh Thanks! I most certainly look into it.
Whoever does the artwork for @After Skool you’re doing amazing and thank you for all of your amazing work!
They say money is the root of all evil, ...but everyone wants to find out for themselves

@@albert4197 thank you for this. Lol. Thank youuuuu
Jordan we all miss you be better soon and bring with you your new book :))
The way you guys put this together is amazing !!!
Thank you, Mr. Peterson.
This is incredible... literally everything ive been thinking of put into words.
Been waiting for this one thank you! Showed your channel to my girlfriend she loves it!
She sounds like a keeper!
Life is simple if you just try to be a good person.
Boooringg
Tying Jordan Peterson's message into Manscaped is brilliant. You should get a raise for that.
Thank you for making this, exactly what I’m going through right now.
Thank You 🙏🏼
I’ve always felt this way about my life! Jordan Peterson explained it in words here.. thank you for this video.
Love your channel! Short & sweet...it's straight to the point so no fluff!

Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Man. This one made me cry.
THANK YOU🖤
Awesome, as always. great illustrations too. Thank you!
Bruh I was literally just waiting for Jordan Peterson to return and I found this channel today 🤧
Thank you very much.
Wow I absolutely loved this one thank you!
Perfect topic for this week post at selfhelpchampion❤️🙏
Thank you. Great video.
Beautiful thank you
Thank you sir
Man I miss this man, and he's never met me.
🇨🇦Peterson's focus on effectiveness also substantiates individual improvement view as this is what you have the most control over. Ask yourself a question and listen for the answer. This awakens your attention resulting in that which needs to be upgraded revealing itself. Start small and try not to be tyrranical with yourself. Building necessary skills as you go. You will fail so plan for that so that failure is part of the process and not a destination. After Skool: btw talented artistry dude.
Accompanying Art work in this was amazing!!
This is one of my favorite videos.
Ok, I love every video and have no discetions of this video other than... I wish everyone could understand that the misrry we feel is because we aren't born free. We are stuck in the system that says you have to be this
Jordan Peterson changed my life!
I love him with all my heart ❤️🦞
I needed this
Awesome!
I enjoyed how this idea was heavily touched on in the final season of "The Good Place". I found that show went from quirky and cheesey, to having an unexpected sense of happiness, peace, and death by the final episode.
Amazing. Thank you.
Your art is amazing! This might be your best one yet!
It is so amazing, that I live in the 21st century and can listen to these life changing words. I’m literally crying, he’s like Jesus, but the real one. The new period in my life has already started. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️❤️❤️
He’s not Jesus. He’s an evil man. Oh closer attention or you will be addicted to meth just like him. Would Jordan/Jesus as you say “like” his daughters underwear pics with her child in the back ground as she leaves her husband for a porn star! Wake up
@@mikeybeausgrows The Ruach Ha'Kodesh is truly perfect and wonderful in revealing the truth to those of us who ask to receive it. One of my elder biological brothers recommended this guy to me, and seems to sop up whatever falls out of his arse. That's called idolatry. When I heard Jordy say that humans descend from lobsters in one of his talks.. well.. it became clear he is a worthless person who waffles on, blowing hot air, and conning vulnerable, hurting people for money. One truly cannot worship Elohim and mammon.
whoa. well done
I needed this thank you
He is so good at explaining these things!
Beautiful art on this one.
Thank you!
Even with an amazing family, loving siblings and limited but loyal friends, I still have overwhelming thoughts of committing suicide. I do believe my family is the only reason I’m still alive. I would absolutely hate to hurt my family like that. I sit and cry often, while acting strong as a rock in front of my peers. I’m so sorry to anyone feeling this way.
It is fantastic when every virtual step forward is matched by active realities!

No one talking about the drawings too? Amazing work.
I would love to sit down and have an intellectual conversation with this man.
@Janice Brown A true blessing
@@panaccoman That would be awesome.
Prayers to him and his family
Peterson is widely regarded as the greatest philosopher of the 21st century. Because he is, 50 years from now, this man's thought will be studied in parallel or even more greatly to the likes of Nietzche and the western greats.
Your videos are so beautiful. I like the content, but the drawings are just gorgeous! It's just so uplifting. Thanks for making them.
that was really good.
We are the universe having become alive and now aware of that fact. This is truly the most decisive point in the history ever. We will roam the universe as far as light can travel, become a living galaxy. I wonder what that will lead to.
Everyone's life has a purpose and the function of one's life is to attain that purpose as the end. The purpose of one's life is human flourishing and happiness that can be achieved by reason and obtaining virtue. To flourish and achieve happiness, we must have a clear understanding of the highest good towards which our life aims, each human being should use their abilities to their absolute fullest potential and should obtain happiness, health and enjoyment through the exercise of their capacities.
This is incredible.
wow the amount of work it must take for you guys to make the drawings.. this is amazing thankyou!
For those, who would like to hear more of this...there is a whole Jordan Peterson podcast episode, called 'The necessity of aim'.
Very much worth, listening to. Repeatedly.
*Top lobster*
I see a man of culture... cheers!
I think your serotonin levels are rising XD
Eyyy! My dude!
"We are collectively individual, we all have the same residual. We all laugh love, cry and fear, it's one of the reasons why we are here. To learn from our own reality, spread truth and unity." Scott Spalding - Look Up
Really appreciate your work.
That's awesome. Thank you for the animation. Thanks to dear Dr Peterson for wisdom. Wishing him and his family a Great Health.
Never stop learning, we know nothing, but everything, our minds are amazing, especially when you look to the brain cells in the body that aren't in the brain. Look it up it's true. If you need a solution, you will find it, it only takes patience and contemplation. Bet your solution will do the job of a store bought product for 1/10th the price but sometimes free outlasts the store bought one significantly. Love light and knowledge to all.
Truly exceptional, always !!!
Thank YOU Jordan Peterson!
And thank you After Skool !!!
