spitting so many facts he had to wear TWO microphones
LOL good one

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💀💀💀💀 AHAHAHAHAHA
Get this to 1k
lulz ☺️
“There are remarkable people who appear from time to time…” Jordan Peterson is one of them!
To summarize what he said in my own words:
When people are voluntarily exposed to what they least want to look at, they get stronger. There is no upper limit to that.
Opportunity is where you least want to look.
Basically,
Seek discomfort
@@faustmugen Ayy, what's up Yes Fam
This isn't what he said.
@@vornamenachname594 then you can describe it with your OWN words.
Respect
This guy's lectures changed my perspective on life. Incredible man!
I have this exercise I do, imagining myself at the last stop of my life and comparing it to another me. Still, one that went after those oases on the horizon and through resilience, perseverance, whatever, stood taller, strived and conquered them. That guy is living the life I want. I really believe many of us can feel what those milestones are, and I've never been one who always clearly knew what I sought after.
This is a good wisdom
Lmfao... So many oasis '.... just abounding. Fucking astounding.
One of the most brilliant minds of our time
This is one of the best clips I've ever seen on TH-cam.
I wish this session and video was shared as part of the High-School Study Journey, if only 2% of the kids got it, what a change that could make...
Share such ideas with the ones around you and let them spread in that way as well. Change always starts at the individual, and it is our duty to share useful information.
If you enjoy challenging ideas and if mastery and masculinity are subjects that interest you, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well.
Looking forward to your points of view.
All the best to you!
Knowing and listening to these ideas is one thing. And acting accordingly is another thing entirely. It’s much easier said than done. JP is great but his principles ain’t easy at all.
@@Nabil21667 very true, what he says can't be easily applied, I'm trying to sift through what makes sense and apply where possible 😉
@@Nabil21667 "his principles ain’t easy at all" he would be the first one to agree. Which is why as he says on this video he understands why someone would choose nihilism instead
Powerful indeed...sometimes I get astonished when I look at my own reflections (how much wisdom God already teaches me everyday!). There can only be one conclusion: We tend to undo our own potential when we run way from the decisions we are supposed to make. Take the hard path, take your burden cheerfully, and you'll soon be greater...(that's my challenge to myself and I hope yours to yourself too)
💯 It’s so interesting how our society in essence is a macro organism consisting of multiple lifetimes.
Wtf
@Nikolas S yes, Technology has become almost as a Symbiont to humanity and each Technological advancement strengthens that bond ever more. Whether this is a good or bad thing I know not, only time will tell.
@Nikolas S perhaps, but as Dr. Peterson stated multiple times. The lack of responsibility and burdens to carry leads to a meaningless life. So, humanity will need to reorganize itself. let’s say all means of production and services were to be ran by A.I given they have the physiological forms to produce said tasks, what will humanity hold itself responsible for and how will the hierarchies establish themselves into these new categories of perceivably “esteemed works.”
Indeed
Yes I like this idea, although it’s clearly metaphorical there is truth in your statement, already I am fascinated about the idea of group evolution through lineage protection and I actually want to fuse this idea with something along the lines of collective consciousness meaning that we select partners both sexual and just friendships for conscious reasons and political beliefs to enhance the safety of the society our lineage will exist in. It’s on the edge of my intelligence as there’s just an infinite amount of variables that apply to both evolutionary lineage and what constitutes collective consciousness.
Great way to start a monday
Thank you Mr Peterson. I ALWAYS come back for some encouragement and it always delivers. The impact you have had is unmeasurable
Loving these short video series it really helps a lot.
Thanks Dr.JBP uh r saving me from me running away from my responsibilities (I'm teenager)...
Wish you and your family happiness and health🤗
Keep it up! Best of luck in your endeavours.
@@kimmypossible6717 😊🤗much thanks❤️
You changed my life. Thank you.
What a profound, shocking and brilliant video.
thank you, Jordan thank you so much, you helping me to get myself together and be better person
Thank you again Dr. Peterson We all need to hear this message.
I could do so much better.
Responsibility seems like an unbearable burden if we are not even willing to accept it.
The opposite seems to be true.
Perhaps Responsibility isn’t a burden, but an exponentially empowering force, that we must first choose to accept, and from there we can build moment by moment into becoming who we are meant to be…
The best versions of ourselves.
Take care sir,
You words matter and are loved and appreciated by many.
Jeremy
wow that is an incredible insight, you should write more
Responsibility isn’t an abstract concept it’s just what you taking action when the time is right.
God bless this man. ❤
Love this.. it does work for me!❤.
Peterson is a gem of the world.
I’m not a big fan of Peterson’s politics but it’s heartening to see how many people are putting their lives on a better track because of him. That’s where I think his great value to society lies.
Absolutely! My issue with him though is, even though he correctly calls out the evil legacy of WOKEISM, he doesn't call out with equal venom its equivalent on the far right. Theocrats.
@@Windrake101 I too am frustrated with the wokerati, though I see the danger on the right (not just the far right) as a lot worse due to the threat it poses to democracy and the republic itself. That’s what makes it frustrating to me to see JP call everyone to the left of him a narcissist while leaving the right virtually unscathed (even if he claims at times in very general terms that the far right has problems too). That aside, his exhortations on an individual level have probably saved a lot of people, especially young men, from extremism and made them much more productive and worthwhile humans.
That man changed my life. I was leaning towards extremism, resentment towards women and all that crap. I was an overall piece of trash, but Peterson set me straight. He's attacking the far left, while preventing young men from leaning to far to the right. He's holding the center in a world that going off the deep end in both directions.
@@robdog114 I would put him on the right but not the far right. To me the center-left is what’s holding the world together. But again, I admire what he has done individually for folks like you. If he leaned left, he probably would have had no credibility with you.
@@SAK1855 All this focus on politics is the problem. What good is being center left, right, up or down when everyone is screwed up in the head. Peterson's lectures cover some psychological concepts that sit at a deeper level than politics. Shit about the human condition that is ambivalent to the current political climate
love this guy
My goal is not so easy due to complexities far outside of my control. But having an impossible goal ensures that you always have more to do. Some people believe that life's real meaning is in the journey and not the destination.
*most people who think
I’m not sure how much I like you describing your own goal as impossible. Sounds like it does not lead to your best performance
@@rodrigorivero1939 Maybe you got a point. I wish it was easier.
Don’t wish for it to be easier, do your very best on it and you’ll still end up going much farther than someone who never tried
@@illusion7929 Think about the people you love in your life, what you want to provide for them, and think as well what you want your legacy to be at your own small scale.
when my life fell apart last year, I fell into dispair (the life of the martyr as he put it). I was nihilistic and felt like I had no purpose. Then I took on the responsibility of caring for my family who had been devastated my Corona-V. I went from doing what I wanted every day and little bills to pay to now having to pay nearly all the bills, the mortgage, and I do 3/4s of the cooking and cleaning to take care of my grandma. Now that I feel like I have purpose, my life is 'harder' but I feel like I'm here for a reason and that gnawing urge to self-delete myself has pretty much completely gone away. Find a purpose and carry your damn burden.
I went back to work soon after this instead of wasting my time away today. 😂 Thank you professor.
One of the best moments of his lectures...
Mind blown away
Jordan is a rockstar...
The end of this video shook me to my core
NOTED!
So crazy that Dr Peterson made a whole speech based on that Akira the Don song
I would love to take a university class with him as the professor.
Unfortunately, he has retired from lecturing at university but he does tour and give lectures.
Makes it make sense
I think most people would willingly forgo certain opportunities if it meant that they could be afforded with more leisure time. You can't just boil it down to money because if you were only productive all of the time, it would drive you insane and you'd be constantly miserable.
But wouldn't being productive make you feel better about yourself and eventually free up some time to relax guilt-free? I think you'll be more miserable if you aren't productive, at least in the long term.
@@AngelsAndButterflies that's what your society wants you to think, so much so that you start to doubt yourself. I don't feel better working 8 hours doing accounting for companies I don't give a shit about. I feel my best using that money I earned to eat out, pay my internet so I can read and watch whatever I want and travel overseas... If I had enough money to do all those leisure activities, if I won the lottery, I'll never do accounting again lmfao.
@@conceptAIart aah you mean work-wise, which I admit is a different situation I haven't been in yet. I'm a university student so for me being productive is making the future me's life easier, which I'm all about.
You need something to do. I have worked the last year going about 13 hours a week doing personal training which was my dream. With that much time on your hands you think a lot. When you think a lot, you worry a lot. You think about the past. You think about the future. You waste too much time. The right balance is craving time off and actually having it. You need to work to challenge yourself and keep yourself straight. I’m starting a plumbing apprenticeship soon because I cannot stand having nothing to do all the time. I’m 30.
@@AngelsAndButterflies productive in what way? Why should life be about “doing” rather than “being”?
This is like saying that one should do something concerning what one is afraid of rather thanfeeding the monster.
I'd reckon the upper limits look something like David Goggins; I strongly recommend his book "Can't Hurt Me".
Agreed, Love the book aswell
Is the full class available??
So good…
It's so deep. Aswell I never hear this information anywhere else, you'll only hear this detail from the man himself
Can you imagine having a university prof like Jordan.
I’d like to see what the students are doing during something like this…taking notes or just sitting there like 😮
*Have you ever for once think deep and appreciate your creator for creating you a great being?*
Have you ever acknowledged yourself as a great being God created into this world?
If you haven’t, do so because every achievement and you becoming successful and great in life starts from acknowledging yourself as a great being that can achieve great things.
You Are A Great Being
Almost like a trickle down effect.
My issue is not being able to recognize opportunities that I can actually do something about before their gone. Not sure how to fix that.
I think the key is to take every reasonable risk that you can. The greater the risk, the greater the potential reward.
Good insight. I don’t “want” to do much. The world is so ugly I want to withdraw from it mostly. I hope millions die. Overcrowding is pollution
@@bryanutility9609 buddy that’s just not true. Global populations will collapse by 2100. Overpopulation is a completely unfounded myth.
@@lewisgann280 you’re confusing first and thrid world population. People are not equal. Africa contributes nothing to humanity and depend on charity to eat right now. While people have a below replacement birth rate and as IQ drops society degrades. Farm soil is being depleted & pollution is causing mass hormonal dysfunction. People are becoming mutants. Just look at how ugly & broken people are.
Okay okay! I'll get of TH-cam and make my bed, geeze...
We have no idea how efficient efficient people get
I don't understand how people hate him, just can't figure out a thought process.
Whenever you will have an opinion, hate and resentment from some are inevitable. If you enjoy challenging ideas and if mastery and masculinity are subjects that interest you, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well.
Looking forward to your points of view.
All the best to you!
Because they are told to.
My potatoes didn't do well this year. Grateful for not starving.
Can anyone point me to the video with the full lecture that this snippet is a part of? Also if this is a part of a lecture series could you please direct me to that as well? Thank you!
I got an eternity to get this right...a true opportunity would present herself in no uncertain terms; the balance of attribution is illusory
Does anyone have the literature that backs this up?
Everything requires money, there opportunities gone.
Holiday no government is open . Yes I screwed up .
Is he talking about the fight club
I wasn't aware real people reply to comments or direct messages on social media 😂
At 6:27 he mentions the author of some writings does anyone know what he's talking about? I don't understand the name he's pronouncing
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Dear Dr. Jordan Peterson,
Could you please explain how to identify an opportunity?
Thank you,
Mama Bear.
😳😥
The common joe and jane do not have opportunities laying around like laundry. Lmfao
Biggest take away - invest time listening and communicating with your conscience.
So more meditation and occasional psychedelics
@@xxxBradTxxx Totes! Add journaling, forest bathing and long drives to the mix too - found them much more engaging that meditation alone
@@lahiruparanamana3442 I live in Central AZ, my "forest" is a county park with 3meter tall Saguaro cactus 😁🌵
@@xxxBradTxxx Used to live in Phoenix before moving down under - No other place like AZ!
When I was young, opportunities were EVERYWHERE. Now, they rarely exist. People are not what they used to be some 20 years ago...
Its Thanks Giving here in Canada. I've sacrificed everything for nothing over the past 10+ years. I literally have nothing to show for it. Nothing to be grateful for. Not true. Maybe 1% of my life I can be. But the other 99% tells me why exist for pain and suffering? Nobody cares about nobody but themselves. That is true for all humans. And in our segregated culture we have now, nobody wants to build and maintain relationships. The Internet destroyed our Social Brains. And I'm just as guilty, as here I am, spending 12+ hours a day on the internet. There is no real world. Were all online. Were all cancer to each others Avatars.
Do you really want to believe that life is pointless and no matter how hard you work it still won't change your circumstances? Have faith. Read your Bible. Pay attention to your conscience. As long as you're still alive there is hope for the future. And in the end, even if it doesn't work and you die miserable and alone, you can look back and say "I did everything I could" and that's one hell of a thing. God bless you.
@@benjamingilmore7775 I've lived my life believing one day I will had kids of my own. Now I'm afraid that's an impossible thing. Not only due to my personal circumstances, but also in the way people are now. I won't 'date' a person if they have their phones at the table, or bring it with them too bed each day. Between me and them, and this world, it can all burn!
@@chrisklugh It will. But it will be God who chooses when, not I. Have you attended a Mennonite congregation recently? They eschew technology for community, and their daughters tend less towards being harlots than most. If you do chose to burn, please remember that Jesus Christ is capable of redeeming you from your mistakes and errors, even if they are insurmountable to you. Call on his name, ask him to forgive you, and what you can do to make life slightly less terrible for who you will be tomorrow. Every day is a chance to be made new. Please forgive me for my weakness in explaining this. It has taken a lot of sacrifice to begin to understand, and I have yet to master the art of communication.

0:56 - you’re not everything that you could be and you know it
2:17 - in his experience, people are running at 51% capacity

1:43 "We're lifting people out of poverty, collectively, at a faster rate that's ever occurred in the history of humankind by a huge margin. And that's been going on unbelievably quickly since the year 2000." 3:46 "If we all got our act together, collectively, and stop making things worse..." 6:12 "...you could have an actual relationship with them instead of torturing them to death..." 9:04 "If you live a pathological life, you pathologize your society..."
God to me
this is so true. I think it's too late for me though
Too late? Any time is enough time to do something - and wouldn't you want whatever you have left to make things better? If everyone in the world got one second of pure goodness, we'd get 3000 lifetimes of pure goodness.
And I'm sure we can all spare more than one second.
Beware the beast man. As it goes.
Did he stopped lecturing at UNI?, why?, didnt he have Tenure?
It seems like when people go full bore for a very long time, they start having physical problems.
Thank you so much, Pescador de Hombres! God knows, that WE NEED YOU. The Gates of Hades shall not prevail. Te amo! Peace be with you.
'....avoid doing what you knew you needed to do.'
wth does that mean? nobody knows what they need to do unless they have machine that can look 10 years into the future before they make every decision. JP makes a nice glee club pep talk here but nobody can avoid wasting most opportunities that come along, because every next decision you are faced with is a new opportunity....most people have 10 new opportunities every day one way or another.
part of or most of the anxiety of living is addressing every new opportunity with a choice and a decision....and never ever knowing whether the decision you made was good or less good or bad based on where your life ends up 10 years from now.
for example JP's own life might have been much more satisfactory and wealthier and less conflicted if he had chosen to be a board certified OB/GYN surgeon rather than a PhD lecturer.....maybe his own life has been mostly a wasted opportunity.
G-D speaks to the spirit, the mind, and the flesh: “Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me:
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast the understanding.
Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,
When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
The point of human consciousness is to know HASHEM intimately and to demonstrate His Character and His Ways of Love to each other. There is no greater love than that… except to lay your life down for someone else.
Hey guys help me out here
Here's what I did not understand
Let's say I have a dream which I know will be bring me peace and good money.
To achieve my dream I need to have some things !
So I have taken up another job to get those things in order to achieve my dream !
So if I get opportunities in my current job which is not my dream ! I should take the opportunity according to this video ??????
👂🏼👂🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽💙
Nothing would happen! Just chill out
damn.
just realised that i’m a piece of shit 😂
I know too many people, including me, who did take all the "opportunities" and lost way too much. It is like asking "What would happen if you invest your money in all the opportunities that are in front of you?". Ask Warren Buffet, you will loose it. It's essential to take opportunities, but also to research if they could lead to your target. And that are definitely not the opportunities "in front of you". At least not if you are at a place where you don't want to be.
Work hard, take opportunities, but also choose wisely.
The poverty claim isn't so true anymore unfortunately.
A few hundred million ppl have fallen back into poverty during covid basically.
But hey, a new billionaire emerged every 30hrs too, so that's good i guess...
I think this lecture is from 2018
May the Lord, Jesus Christ have mercy on you
May the Father Almighty lend you his strength and give you his guidance
May the Holy Spirit fill you with grace and wonder
May you be in the presence of God unto Ages of Ages
Is he teaching again or are these just old lectures
🌹🔥🖤♾
I am a lost cause.. I have zero faith or patience for people or anything for that matter… Life is not going to get better you just learn how to tolerate the world and people around you..
Build a purpose for yourself so that you are not a lost cause anymore. You can squeeze more from life if you dedicate yourself to something. If you enjoy challenging ideas and if mastery and masculinity are subjects that interest you, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well.
Looking forward to your points of view.
All the best to you!
This is extremely stupid and superficial. That’s like saying what would happen if you were thirsty and then had a drink of water.
🐸🐸🐸🐸🤡🦆🐸🐸
I hate
Damn.. I never really thought about it like that
Western Capitalist Societies loves these guys and pay them handsomely bcause they keep the people focused on doing their jobs. If one guard dog can keep 100,000 sheeps in order, that guard dog is valuable and gets a nice place to sleep and eat.
Because it's better than staying in your mothers basement and be miserable
He sure talks a lot. Prime example of a video that makes you feel worse and you wasted your time watching.
Here I am wasting my time by watching this video
I have a brain injury and ptsd and it costs more money than most people have to find a professional to do this with.
