2017 Maps of Meaning 05: Story and Metastory (Part 1)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- In this lecture, I make the case that we each inhabit a story, describing where we are, where we are going, and the actions we must undertake to get from the former to the latter. These inhabited stories are predicated on an underlying value system (as we must want to be where we are going more than we value where we are). In addition, they are frames of reference, allowing us to perceive (things that move us along; things that get in our way), make most of the world irrelevant (things that have no bearing on our current frame), and determine emotional significance (positive: things that move us along; negative: things that get in our way).

These lectures set me on the path at 25 to change my life completely, stop smoking, stop drugs, become a better person and now attend university to learn psychology doing my bachelors with honours. I wanna do my masters and eventually a doctorate. Never would have thought it possible before. You the man JP.
Congrats dude! You the man too
Every tried microdosing shrooms?
:)
Congrats! Always good to read stories like yours.
spreading knowledge with free lectures. how noble of you.
you got it
Jordan Greene jordans agree
Up to As far as I (or something else) is concerned!)))
These lectures are incredible.....wish I had professors like JP when i was studying Psychology at UNI. As an atheist, I am genuinely fascinated in how he can reconcile religion and science. His teachings have really challenged my position on faith and the role of religion in our society. If i get nothing else from this mans teachings, that alone is incredibly valuable.
This comment should have way more likes. Openness is the ultimate strength. =)
That is why Dr. Peterson is so profound and effective in relating the unrelatable. He is the most open and unbiased person I have ever heard or met. =)
I agree also you will get more out of it
You’ve described that very well. I’m a lifelong atheist, having rebelled against my father’s fundamentalism; but Jordan is one of the few people I’ve heard who gives me pause.
Where the physical becomes metaphysical and then phenomenological. He talks about quantum interactions all the time. So cool.
As someone who is not especially religious, I have always found it bizarre how scientists like to pretend that there is no room for a 'meta-physical presupposition'.
The contortions that atheists and 'scientists' put themselves through to completely try to erase any notion of that 'meta-physical presupposition'.
It might seem paradoxical, but Jordan Peterson is helping me to become a better person by convincing me of my own capacity for malevolence. This fundamental realization shows me I have a long way yet to travel on the road to real wisdom.
One thing I think is so valuable about his work is that it has the capacity to unite seemingly incompatible worldviews; he introduces the validity and importance of religious/mythological belief structures to scientific-materialist-types in a palatable, intellectual manner. He stresses the world changing importance of scientific materialism to strictly religious thinkers and shows them that it is possible to integrate both ways of thinking into an overarching cosmology. He even manages to reveal the often overlooked, non-tyrannical, and functional aspects of hierarchical social structures to conspiratorial thinkers who may have previously been hell bent on only seeing and exposing the tyrannical elements of the social dominance hierarchy. Perhaps I see it this way because he's managed to help me more fully integrate these disparate, competing aspects of my own psyche-but regardless, I truly am impressed by and have benefitted greatly from Peterson's work.
You can become better only by understanding there is room for improvement. - Ancient something proverb
I think it is paradoxical. Its possible that truth and virtuosity somehow feel disturbingly paradoxical to us. A lot of what he talk about seems to me to have to do with delayed gratification which feels paradoxical from one perspective, but once you start playing the "meta-game" maybe embracing the paradox is a source of power. He's doing a great job connecting the dots between all the emerging fields of science such neurology and psychology with our history and mythologies. To be both scientific and spiritual is kind of paradoxical. To have one foot in the water and the other on land. But maybe being able to operate from this domain is exactly what makes someone an "ubermensch". We're forced to live as an entity that is stimulated both from the external world and from the internal psyche. I'm thankful someone is able to articulate a way of being that addresses the inherent struggle of both "worlds".
I agree. Maybe i took too much liberty with the word.
Interesting. Im trying to think of things that aren't subjective. Death isn't, would you agree? Maybe physical pain isn't subjective. However if we try to quantify it maybe then it becomes subjective. I think one of the greatest endeavors from a philosophical perspective is to find an objective truth or at the very least come to a realization that there is objectively no objective truth. I agree a vast amount of our experience is subjective. But, in the field of psychology I think were trying to find a method that can create real positive change in someone. There are a lot of assumptions in this field I guess. For example, we assume the feeling of sadness feels the same in you as it does in me. We can only know this by observing commonalities between depressed people. The same goes for anger, joy, and so on. However, if we can articulate a framework that can effect change in peoples subjective sense of wellbeing I think we can say that we proved that there is no subjectivity. Things are as they are, the subjective diversity that we all experience is a result of being out of alignment with reality.
well put
I always get emotional thinking about where I would be in life if I had never discovered these lectures, Jordan Peterson is the best embodiment of the logos that I have ever seen.
I think one thing that make his way of thinking so important is
He questions the obvious not denies but seeks to understand the obvious to deduce the unobvious
Definitely!!!!!!!
Train by day, Jordan Peterson lectures by night, all day !
...And all night? lol
Jordan Peterson podcast! Check it out!!! The Jordan Peterson Experience.
Train?
i just came back here, saw your comment, and went to like it, I already had a previous time ayyyyy
5 rounds and Jordan whips Rogans ass.
7:26 - Story of Charles Darwin in a museum in London.
12:19 - Theory about how humans perceive the world and orient themselves accordingly (in reflexive and conscious ways). This theory was also used an approach to develop artificial intelligence. It was a well accepted theory in the 20th century, but it turned out that 'seeing' the world was extremely difficult and impossibly complex. (Notes at 15:00 regarding some ideas that were explored in 'The Wolf' and 'The Spider').
18:45 - Selective Attention Test Task. "The Invisible Gorilla" and other experiments by Dan Simon.
20:51 - Human eyes, how blind we actually are, what our eyes react to and how we know what to look at.
26:38 - Some notes on our perception of the world and good quote (27:03). Jordan Peterson talks for several minutes about philosophical and literal complexities concerning perception of the world and how little we see (not sure how to describe it better).
30:16 - Example of children naming animals 'cats' and 'dogs', instead of 'four-legged furry mammals' or any subspecies/breeds.
31:33 - Iconic story of Jordan Peterson and his computer crashing. (35:26 - funny moment)
37:47 - Defaulting to the simplest level to move to the next step. Generally that is what you should do, for example in an argument with someone who you have a long term relationship with.
42:33 - Another example of defaulting to a simple level in order to advance to the next step.
45:13 - Important note on the 'games' we all play and agree to. (This note relates to Anku, since he understands and manipulates these games very well. He also does not allow anyone to prioritize the game they want to play, over the game he wishes to play. This does not mean he never agrees to play someone else's game, instead it means he is always aware of the rules (of the game) and how to best bend or break them (depending on whom he is playing with/against).
48:58 - Another subtle note on 'The Wolf' and 'The Spider' books referring to the Anakim and how they see things/objects differently from the Sutherners, based on what they want to use it for (to some degree).
51:02 - "The world is so horrible...y complex" (Revealing Freudian slip, funny moment)
54:08 - Compression, resolution and language. Note on why we use simple language with children, because they can't unpack words or ideas that they haven't had enough experience with to conceptualize.
55:39 - The science-religion argument. Fundamentalists and atheistic scientists have the same problem. Long note. Quick note on how the fundamentalists worked out the 5000 year estimate (of when God created everything).
1:03:05 - Looking at the world in more than one way. (Continues with certain elements of the science-religion argument).
1:04:32 - You need to have a value system. Anku's value system is quite unique and more complex than most people.
1:07:19 - Stories and music, two of the very few phenomena which all people find compelling (very few people don't find at least some genre of music or story completely uninteresting).
1:10:16 - The complexity problem, the fundamental problem and death as the fundamental problem. Note on how how Jordan Peterson works with his patients (mental problems/illnesses and living uncontrolled complex lives).
1:13:18 - Old cities were walled (historical dates range from the Ancient era, through the Medieval Era and ending roughly around the Renaissance Era). These walls
were primarily practical and served to protect the citizens and their wealth from bandits or anyone else who would steal from them or kill them. But walls and borders
are also built to simplify the world, it's not conceptual it's practical (they keep things out and ordered so you don't even have to think about them).
1:18:54 - Note on discrimination (very good). (1:20:51 - funny)
1:33:52 - One of the things you learn in pshycometrically, is that there is no correlation between conscientiousness and intelligence.
1:36:42 - Jordan Peterson on some of his patients who have post-traumatic stress disorder (he gives a few examples).
1:40:23 - Subdivisions of the brain. Notes on cats and their curiousity when functioning with only their hypothalamus (with the rest of their brain carefully removed).
1:44:25 - Cool video and note on how complex DNA and biology is when delving deeper into the human body.
1:52:00 - Psyhcophysiological representation of Piaget's developmental process.
1:57:00 - How to think about motivation.
1:59:41 - Addiction and its relationship to motivation and using whatever tools necessary (eg. lying) to achieve the goal (meth is used as an example). This possibly
explains why (and how) Anku functions and thinks in relationship to his goal, in the manner that he does (he is madly addicted to his goal).
2:01:42 - Controlling your hypothalamus and regulating your emotions (by avoiding situations where you wouldn't be able to control your emotions (hypothalamus takes
dominion over you)).
2:10:27 - See the things that are relevant to the task at hand.
2:10:27 - To end. Notes on complexity, relationships and betrayal (very good).
Jesus wtf. Nice job friend
Thank you very much
Totally relevant! 😁 Nice Job Man! Thank You!
This man takes notes
Well someone is paying attention lmao
I'm learning so much from these lectures. Thank you for making them, and for making them available to the entire world for free.

That's self evident roughly speaking
🤣..JP is the man!
I am a 53 year-old woman who's only regret is not finding these videos sooner.
And they say his public is only young men... :-)
I am a 46 year old man with several regrets. However, if I had found JBP earlier, I many have avoided many of them.
There are more. This one I thought was really good: th-cam.com/video/K3Zx-qcNZf4/w-d-xo.html
That's your only regret? I aspire to reach your age and find a similar problem
SAME
The more I watch these lectures, the more I can understand and relate to what Dr P is saying. Only problem is now it makes me want to start all over again to see if I understand it differently.
What an amazing mind and a great subject.
Josh Bull how is that a problem? Go ahead and start all over. Tomorrow... no, today. The death and rebirth cycle that Dr. P is so fond of discussing can happen at any time in life. In fact, if you are actively seeking... it will happen multiple times!
It is worth rewatching. Like a good movie, you will see more details the second (and subsequent) time(s).
I'm so grateful that these lectures are being recorded and shared with the world. It's a real honor to be able to learn from Dr. Peterson, and I think it's possible that many of the undergraduate students in his class may be a bit too young to truly appreciate how lucky they are to be experiencing the profundity of his lectures in person. Dr. Peterson is a National Treasure in my honest opinion.
I bought a copy of his book from Amazon and am working through the readings alongside the lectures. I'd highly recommend his book to anyone who's on the fence about ordering it.
That’s what I was thinking, too! The students here are early 20’s?
It is true that we can’t fully receive info we have not made a foundation for yet. Either we keep it and realize what the info truly meant later in life, or we throw it out shortly after learning it since it didn’t really click in our minds.
he is an international treasure
I can't believe I'm sitting here in Denmark, 15 years after I left school, learning more than I ever have through the common school system, I am in awe of these lectures and so thankful I cannot express it with words.
JBP, the professor with the PhD in anti-PC. Great lecture. It's surreal that I'm able to sit in my living room hundreds of miles away, not even being a student, and participate in all of this. Thanks for uploading these, and congratulations on 150K subscribers.
But you ARE a student. You don't need to be enrolled in one of the profit-generating degree-mills (aka universities) to be a student. Prof. Peterson has to earn his living somehow (although the SJWs would love to lose him his job), but universities are no longer (if they ever were) places of disinterested scholarship; they are business corporations, bending with the social winds and bowing to pressure from their "consumers".
makes me feel less isolated
half a million subscribers at this point. . . just awesome. . .
920k ...
Just a year later. Thats awesome.
Jordan has helped me decide to go back to studying. he has put me onto ideas that screw with my mind and I love that.
Spending Saturday and Sunday listening to JP's lectures and loving the experience. Right from Brasília, capital of Brazil. Thanks, mr. Jordan.
Nice, a new one. Now i can stop rewatching all the old ones.
hello Mr Peterson, my name is Joe, super stoked to be here listening to you speak. I will be watching you in all my free time for the foreseeable future, not because I need credit for my education, I have a fulfilling career, or because you the old wise man, I'm rather old. I am here and I am a patron because of what you have to give me.
never stop teaching those who cannot grasp the world as you do, we need it.
Thanks so much Jordan for giving me new tools to understand the world around me. The way you described the importance of the humanities in the past lectures have really opened my eyes. I have been a history geek for a long time and I never knew why I found it so invigorating. It turns out all this time I was looking for patterns and truths to incorporate into my life - to learn from the errors of the past. Thanks for speaking up at UofT, in a strange way you enabled a lot of people like myself to come across your body of work and to learn from it.

Says you can't see things that are behind you
Notices door behind him is open
He isn't deaf or insensitive to air currents.
omg i laughed so hard!!! :P
Probably was because of noise from outside the classroom, it's easy to notice then if the door's open or not.
and holds his hand up to indicate how far open the door is.
ahahaha awesome laugh out load thanks :D
I would never be late for one of Dr Peterson's lectures.
This is the first time I've watched his maps of meaning course although I've watched many of his
other lectures and I wish I had watched this first. I have to stop every half hour to rest my brain
and process what he said or I'll miss something important.
I cannot express how thankful I am for Jordan Peterson and his posting of his lectures on TH-cam. Thank you so much for sharing what you know and truly teaching us something.
The fact that these lectures are for free is amazing. We truly live in wonderful times, if you know where to see. Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
It’s amazing to see something we completely understand and do without thinking being brought to light in our consciousness.
Man, these lectures are something else. So much cross-disciplinary knowledge. Impressive.
Pumping out content. This man is on a mission.
And he'll make you count balls!
I'm sure I've made this comment before . . . but thank you, Dr. Peterson, for making your amazing lectures available online!! I feel like I am back at university, in a course that is refreshingly NOT infused with leftist ideological nonsense. I can't get enough of these lectures!!
This is literally my preferred choice of entertainment
"Does it help you? Does it get in your way? Or is it irrelevant?" - Dr Jordy P always dropping the most profound knowledge.
The content of this class should be offered all over the place; I've been striving to make sense of all this for years. I recently determined to incorporate this kind of wisdom into my classes when I start teaching (cuz I'm tired of seeing Pinocchio's go to Pleasure Island), and, BAM, here's a crash-course. Thank you, professor.
I like Jordan a lot but it gets a bit chilling when he casually, and in the space of 30 seconds, describes EXACTLY why my ex and I split up.
CrucifyRobinHood Right!😂😂
You are probably not the first person to go down that particular rabbit-hole.
Many people are pretty predictable when you know what to look for. It's understanding and predicting yourself that's hard af.
And makes you feel like a fuckin asshole about it, like even if she cheated on you, its YOUR fault, which is fair, but that doesn't change the fact it makes me cry lol.
going through this right now. it's even worse when you're the ass..
Where?
"The world is so horrible...y complex"
Revealing Freudian slip there at 51:02
thanks for being a great teacher Jordan and dedicating your life to it, you're a badly needed Shepard for the masses
I see an interesting parallel between how Peterson is saying we perceive the world and computer programming. Recent trends show that functional programming is growing much faster than object oriented programming, reinforcing the idea that our environment is generally made up of tools rather than objects.

Currently laying in bed doing little leg exercises and watching this. Thank you for teaching me to never use my illness as an excuse. Love you Dr Peterson!!
I always dig that Mozart intro.
i actually think its annoyingly loud
@@Benjmensch you know what it's a little loud but I think it's intended 😂 nothing against mozart
@@Goat_biscuit those Peterson's taste in music is really good. I also like the Bizet Carmen intro to Michaela Peterson's channel.
Right it's such perfectly fits to the aesthetic of this entire lecture series
I always whistle it when I’m binging these lectures
How is every line a gem. Incredible.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering major in Dallas, Texas and Jordan Peterson is making me wish I majored as a psychologist. Love your videos. Its refreshing to hear an intellectual giant among the useful idiots I'm surrounded by (i.e. my millennialsfriends).
True. Hard to cut off friends you've had for ten years. Kind of like a well formed connection in the brain in which a habit is formed.
lol Josh, nice.
yeah, but will your mech eng degree get you a good job? That's really more important, I think. This stuff is fascinating, and useful. But mechanical engineering is *important*. Psych is important too, but, if I'm not mistaken, engineers are needed more by society right now.
Okay, I'm rambling a little, but my point is that learning can go on for your whole life. College is expensive and time is short, so you shouldn't regret getting optimal return on your time and money. Get a good degree that gets you a good job, stack paper, and use that capital to fund a career as a gentleman scientist a la Benjamin Franklin.
And free learning, like JP's videos, is only going to get better as we go forward.
...yeah, but as with the history of psych majors, what is more valuable than one entering a major in the hope of figuring out the nature of one's own problems, and then after a significant investment in time they figure that they still have no clue as to the nature of their own problems, let alone a solution, and needing to start earning a living, what is more natural than the assumption that they should start analyzing and telling OTHERS what Their problems are.....And so it goes.
Vlad, I don't know if I'd say mechanical engineers are 'more needed' than psyche majors; maybe, rather, that they're 'more in demand'.
Jordan Peterson you are an amazing and wonderful inspiration to me. I am very thankful for these lectures. Thank you Sir. You are the Father I never had, and I am 45 years old now, I have never had a Father in my lifetime, and I thank you for everything you do. You are Magnificent! Thank You!
Mind-blowing lecture, you always view things not as things but as obstacles or assistance towards your goals.
He's so smart!! He takes the time to break everything down for us. Doing my best to follow him; my mind is blown!

Wait till he tosses a word at 54:50
This man allows for scientific reason AND the usefulness of moral stories: "You don't just need one way of looking at the world...what's it made of, and how should you conduct yourself in the world? Why assume you can use the same set of rules on objects and how to act? Maybe they can be brought together...it's not tenable to get rid of one...you can't look at the world without a damn value system. If no value system is valid, there's no rationale for living."
Imagine turning up early for a Jordan Peterson lecture.
Haha well said
Prof. Peterson says his lectures are especially useful for men. And he gets a lot of negativity whenever he addresses women in general. I am a woman and I was in very bad mental shape. I really thought I wouldn't make it, or if I did, all the bad things that I believed I was destined for would do me in and I would always be a victim. Prof. single handedly pulled me out of that. He is liquid luck. And he's not only intelligent, but also available and sharing it with everyone, which cannot be said for most intelligent people. Prof. Peterson has helped me improve my mental health, and consequently my physical well being, and I will always be grateful for this gift. Thank you Prof. And you are too handsome.
Jordan Peterson drinking game: whenever Jordan says 'roughly speaking' or 'it's not obvious', everyone does a shot.
Or "that's an oversimplification ..but we'll go with that"
''That's the right way of thinking about it.''
"Anyway"
"how do you say it?"
“In my estimation”
Jordan ~ You here in this lesson is my most constant way of inviting an intellectual interesting guest into my house within my walls. My wife is here and others only briefly and on rare occasions
.
Reading the book while going through these lectures puts it all together in such a neat way! The book is incredibly dense, and I find myself having to re-read paragraphs in it all the time to make sense of them, but these lectures provide a great reincorporation of the same ideas which clear up so many confusing details! I'm writing this now at less than 100 pages in so I can only hope the trend continues!
Reading maps of meaning with this series during quarantine. 28 books read so far this year Mr. Peterson, thanks partly to you
I love this lectures series. Just bought your book to read in conjunction. Thank you so much for making these available online. They have been as informative as meaningful to me.
When he said, "the normal state of all things is broken, not, working" is something that I think about for past few months.
This man is extraordinary!
How can the world thank this guy for what he's doing? He makes all of his Knowledge available to us without hesitation because he's trying to heal the world by focusing on each and one individual. He wants society to work! Again: how can the whole world thank this guy enough?
Profound. I'm extremely grateful that you upload these lectures for free. I just bought 12 Rules...
Listening to your lectures have helped me mature and understand myself in gigantic leaps. Thank you.
31:38 Peterson dropping some knowledge! What he says here makes so much sense it made me pause and think about it. Amazing!
You're actually more of a tool AND an obstacle to the students because you give them the information that enables them to pass the class and move towards their goal but you also can potentially give them a failing grade in the class and stand in the way of them reaching their goal. Very interesting stuff. I'm really enjoying these lectures.
1:37:00 .
I'm very high in conscienceness and this is extremely true. life became a million snakes at once for quite some time.
I've came out so much better on the other side and this makes me grateful. but damn it was not easy.
Hi there Brandon
I just noticed that you have perhaps used the wrong word, the spelling is a little bit confusing.
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS is the word you want.
When writing you will notice after the "n" the letters "tious" takes your word where you want to go.
--------------------------------------------
For example:
con·sci·en·tious
[ˌkän(t)SHēˈen(t)SHəs]
ADJECTIVE
(of a person) wishing to do what is right, especially to do one's work or duty well and thoroughly.
Definition of conscientiousness
: the condition or quality of being conscientious
Apparently, the secret to a happy, healthy adulthood is learning early on to deal with disappointment and developing strong character traits-persistence, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control.
Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized and predictable, typically eat better and live longer than people who are disorderly.
- Gretchen Reynolds
--------------------------------------------
It's a tricky word especially if you are also writing or speaking of "consciousness" as well.
con·scious·ness
[ˈkän(t)SHəsnəs]
NOUN
the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings.
"she failed to regain consciousness and died two days later"
The letters "science" do not belong within either of those words.
English and spelling can be difficult - I hope that helps. Regards.
Thankyou to Prof. Peterson for putting these videos out. I'm in the process of watching every video from 2017. I've watched a few from years before, and it's very cool to see Prof. Peterson change his style and delivery slightly year by year as he develops as a person (Like all of us).
I am in awe of Dr Peterson's intellect. His advice to 'pay attention', which he explains so brilliantly here, uncovered my wife's infidelity, deception, and malicious dishonesty, stretching back over 20 years. It ended my marriage but freed me to finally embrace life at 50 years old. Thank you, Sensei Peterson.
These lectures are keeping me sane through the outbreak. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!💕
Everyday I remind myself that I am not as educated as I could be.....and the voice of professor peterson constantly approves it.
One of the best lecture!
Thank you so much for uploading this extraordinary, intellectually challenging, knowledge enhancing lectures on this platform for free!
Thank you so much for giving us the framework to understand perception and making us understand the importance of putting things in perspective!
This video is better than attending the class. If I don't understand what JP said I just rewatch the section. There's stuff I went back on some things 4 - 5 times until I understood it. I couldn't do that when I was in college.
the song in the intro is starting to grow on me. when i hear it, i know some wisdom is about to get preached.
Do you salivate?
Yes! I am still puzzled with the choice, would love to hear his thoughts that mad ehim choose that, I cannot imagine there weren't sophisticated ones involved. And yea, it is setting a circuit into motion and anticipation, a very very nice one.
I just thought about the Logo as well, few days ago when I started with 'Maps of Meaning' it was botheringly unclear what it means, I get it now mostly, kinda gets explained in this vid too, think, with the perception of an object (as object 1,2, etc) and 'the thing as it is'. Every time we hear the song in the beginning we get that positive emotion kick because we know here comes another step thats moving us closer to the perception of 'the thing as it is', doesn't matter that it is maybe impossible to ever get there.
Man, he is so coherent in all of what he lectures, and I am only at the tip of the ice berg.
And that's not self evident
«Things break all the time. That's their normal state. Broken, not working.»
Brilliant!
So looking forward to watching this right now.
This is an tremendous lecture. Kudos to Dr. Peterson for a captivating and magnificent presentation. So much thing to grasp and accumulate about human beings. Just mind blowing.
After watching the 5th video of this course, I'm still wondering if I ever really got those Bachelors and Masters degrees hanging in the other room....his teaching is on a whole other level.
Guess if anything, they conditioned me to study and take good notes.
That's mostly what degrees teach these days unfortunately.
I miss this old -- gold -- truth -- be -- told -- lecturer JP 😯😮🧐😨🥺❤💙💜🖤🤎🌀☯🥺🌀

You legend. Thanks
This is such great, great philosophy, about life and meaning and science and virtually anything that matters, and it is perfectly "listenable to" by an averagely intelligent person - whereas if you pick up a book about philosophy, especially by a famous philosopher, it will just drive you crazy with its apparent irrelevance to anything in life that anyone with common sense could possibly care about. This is just precious, precious stuff.
I love how frequently you use bikers as an example for shady characters. 😂
It's funny only because so many of us agree on that fact. Just like why racist jokes are funny, Blonde jokes, Asian math jokes, ect. ect.
I feel we should really learn something from this. Like maybe...we shouldn't laugh at things that aren't funny for the sole purpose of justifying our biases. =)
@@LightworkingWanderer Wait, what?
@@kapitan19969838 some people learn one thing and think it should be applied everywhere, it's like that kid who figures out one thing and goes around telling everyone about it as if he has the secret to the universe, incapable of critical thought on top of the learning to decide in a reasonable manner where what is applicable. I'm surprised at the number of silly ways people choose to implement the patterns they've learned to spot.
@@NoUsernamae agreed, I think everyone goes through at least one realization that’s so profound they have to share it. I personally was un aware till February 2021 that you could read without articulated thought and still understand the words. This resulted in my consumption of books from almost 0 to around 3 hours of reading daily. Took me till age 20 to figure that out.
@@VxDxLx What happens to me is that I can totally read without an internal monologue, but I become self aware of that and start reading with an internal monologue (which I find really inefficient) and can't stop, it's like a vicious cycle.
Great series. Right around 1:27:00 you went into something regarding PTSD and relationships that is tremendously helpful to putting a past relationship in its proper perspective.
This information is so beyond most college student's heads, that they would tune out after 10 minutes EVEN if they were really interested.
When this first came out, I put it in my Watch Later playlist. Little did I know all the great content to come
Dr. Peterson, I was waiting for a new video update so I can ask this question with hope of it getting noticed.
Self-confidence
I don't think anyone can answer that question in a way which will solve your problem. The best we can do is go through this course and his book and first learn how to see the world and how to analyze different stories about the world and how to be conscious of our own psychology and physiology and then spend our lives in a way that keeps getting better as we learn more and apply more.
The simplest explanation of confidence I've heard is basically a true understanding of your ability to do a thing. So, you may understand the concept behind spearing a board, you may even know the specific steps to take to spear a boar. But if you've never tried to spear a boar before, you should not be confident in your ability to spear a boar (unless you've done something very similar before, like spear a lion). This is clearly justified, because the first time you try to spear a boar you will almost certainly fail.
It's not until you have experienced using your skills successfully that you can have proper confidence. Along the same lines, overconfidence is when you understand the thing you are trying to do so poorly that you are sure you can do the thing when you cannot.
That should give you some ideas in how to help others. I would say your "maximum confidence" probably comes from a belief that you have the capability to successfully navigate any situation life throws at you. The only way to get this confidence (that isn't just complete naivety) is experiencing a lot of good and bad situations and successfully navigating them.
confidence is mastering the relevant parts. You lose it when you are convinced there are more relevant parts that you don't know. You give it to someone else by helping them eliminate something as irrelevant or master something that is. You take it away from someone else by pretending something is relevant that they have not mastered.
Unshakeable self-confidence is also the end of learning.

1:33:26 God damn the idea that planning ahead is your brain creating avatars that go through different conceptions of reality is fucking crazy!!
Different possible futures
3 things that I think of when I listen to his courses are: 1) how brilliant are the students who follow and actually ask questions! I am pausing every now and then just to take a breath and let the info sink in; let alone analyze and have questions. 2) what are the exam questions exactly? 3) listening to this particular lecture, I am thinking, if my computer crashes as a result of an event that may happen every 150 years, what I do is utter a swear--thus I am so proud of myself to act like Jordan---but then my conclusion would be: that is a sign to take a break and maybe not finish that essay as it brings bad fortune; while his conclusion is BLOODY brilliant and absolutely NOT OBVIOUS.
*Dr. Peterson*, would you be able to direct me towards which books Carl Jung speaks about the integration of the shadow? I believe that I am too high in agreeableness.
I'm too high in disagreeables. Believe me, it makes life tough. I just want to know how to be more agreeable. I'm married to an agreeable. He's so much nicer than me. :( But at the same time, I get shit done. He's too relaxed.
Dr. Peterson, I was waiting for a new video update so I can ask this question with hope of it getting noticed.

Jordan B Peterson Thank you! Now I don't have to read all of them
Kon Berner only future authoring (its free and im a student from a 3rd world country) but I dont think It has anything to do with it. To be able to "sort yourself out" first you need to believe that you can actually do it. A belief in self. Also, believing you Can do it doesn't mean you Will do it.
Self belief is a much more complex than you'd think.
Kon Berner As I said only Future authoring
1:33:40 what a great way to frame the function of the prefrontal cortex.
"...a way of generating avatars of yourself in hypothetical worlds to figure out how they would survive if you did implement them into action". so awesome.
I like Sapolsky's description, too. He says the prefrontal cortex is what you use to do the "hard, but right, thing", what Dr. Peterson might call making sacrifices, or engaging in goal-oriented behavior.
as an artist i really appreciate the van gogh irises painting and drew barry's biomedical 3d illustrations, i believe that is work that gives life meaning
Drew Berry’s animation brought me to tears as it is almost unbearable to fathom, thank you again for sharing this incredible lecture!
About the religion/science "conflict", i for my part came, for me, to the conclusion that Religion is the "Worship of the Creator" while Science is "The Striving to understand Creation".
science is rapidly removing the necessity and even the possibility of a "creator".
Definition of hubris...
@@charleshultquist9233 There is something called the Breath of Life that Scientific Study may not be able to reproduce.
Science is now proving the existence of a creator.
My god, we need Dr. Peterson now more than ever. Hopefully his health improves and he feels comfortable coming back into the public light.
What exactly happend? I missed it. Just started getting into his lectures and life lessons

"what happens when your computer goes out"
My brain:
You go into murderous rage.
Imagine this is a class room! Those students were so lucky to have such a passionate and intelligent teacher.
Ah Yeah... Gangster Peterson... Got a cold beer and ready for Class!

This is an incredibly good lecture. I can't believe it is free. Thank you so much! Now on to Part 2.
I would like to say thank you Jordan Peterson for these lecture uploads. While I think its hard to specifically say what I have learn from listening to them all, all I tell is that I'm learning more about myself, and more so what I can actually accomplish with that knowledge. Either way Mr. Peterson has helped me become a more confident, and more thoughtful in general. Keep it up =p
Everytime i go for a midnight snack i will now be thinking of it as me arranging things so that there are transformations in the world. Much better.
Love these lectures, any chance we could see the assignments also?
I created a life worth living.
Jordan you personally. Have created a system and a method to live a beautiful life. A life worth living in spite chaos.. thank you.
Anyone interested in the DNA animation, check out "Kinesin walking on a microtubule."
Each little foot is alternating between 2 and 3 phosphates changing the adhesion to the microtubules. It carries things across cells. Beautiful.
Martin Isreb It was mentioned in the lecture
Thank you so very much for uploading this, it has helped me in more ways than I can say. This is a service to humanity.
This lecture series is awesome, definitely didn’t have anything like this in art school 💕
