This is where TH-cam and social media platforms can be a blessing. To be able to watch Jordan Peterson speak at such a prominent venue among the world's future thinkers. I am grateful for having stumbled upon this.
In an age where TH-cam vloggers are making longer videos to put more ads into, as their livelihood depends on it, and thus the level of meaningless noise and fluff goes up exponentially, there seems to be harder to find the time and energy to discern what’s worthwhile, a Jordan Peterson is almost always worth it. Thing is they’re always sooo long. Good use of time, for sure.
Kim Williams - My school had a year abroad program in Oxford, I studied Wittgenstein with Timothy Beardsworth, who then held the philosophy chair at New College (Oxford University is not one school but a collection of them, if you did not know), and the German enlightenment philosophers with Fiona … dammit, I forget her last name … at Magdalen (pronounced “maudlin”), and other things, and as part of it all … I belonged to the Oxford Union Society: I forget how many £ it cost, but it wasn’t much, and it was always quite crowded at night, because the reason to join was … _they had the cheapest beer in _*_all the city_*_ by over 80%,_ it was ridiculous, but aside from getting to hear Stephen Hawking speak and answer questions one evening, there wasn’t much reason to join other than the beer, and let me tell you _everyone_ who joined joined because of the beer, and I hate to disappoint you, but … maybe _two_ of the whole drunken lot of them were possibly the world’s future thinkers? and the rest of them were … well, pretty much little Jordan Petersons, full of bluster and verbiage and regurgitated bias presented haughtily as fact.
You can see when that asian boy had his question answered, he was the one to applaud the most, even though he initially disagreed. Those are the kind of people everyone wishes to debate, people who put forward good arguments, but can admit when they hear a more convincing one.
You would be incorrect in stating that he initially disagreed, as Peterson quite clearly said, "I agree completely with your diagnosis." The only thing that they had a disagreement on per se.. which wasn't necessarily a disagreement but a clarification on prognosis, was the fact that the proliferation of ideas through free speech is designed not only to further the evolution of the individual, but his family unit and broader community, which the kid readily included into his analysis, and continued to ask the question about whether or not to regulate the most "vehement" and "egregious" forms of free speech. It wasn't a disagreement, but a true question and dialogic process of informing both of them. It's also clear to me that the kid's mind is a supercomputer. A discussion between intellectual heavyweights.
Not that this is particularly important, but I thought he sounded kinda Singaporean or Malaysian. There was an Aussie quality too. I honestly had trouble nailing down his accent, but if I had to guess, I'd say Singapore or Malaysia.
@@jasondicioccio880 His accent sounds Australian to me... so why not guess him Australian rather than Singaporean and/or Malaysia?! Despite his demeanor and accent, which seems very westernized, you pegged him as Singaporean or Malaysian, probably solely influenced by the way he looks... though I could be wrong... My intention is not to accuse you of being a racist, and my apologies if I sound like it. I only point out what you did here as a case in point of simple / unconscious bias people do have. Despite what Peterson said about not being led astray by collectivist/tribalistic way of viewing the world and opt for individualistic world view, the truth is in the West, immigrants from other heritrage origins deal with people viewing THEM in a collectivist/tribalistic way, being perceived as the OTHER no matter how much they assimilate along internal or cultural lines. And there are serious negative implications when people adopt the ways of the West, but still in some unconscious ways are barred from being viewed as a full member of the Western society. If you have any immigrant friends, let them read this.... see if they agree. I guarantee you, the response will surprise you... or I could just be ranting on a random youtube comment section that you will never read. lol I said what I have to say.
@@Richard_is_cool Most of the results returned by your search terms focus on dismissing the messenger instead of inspecting the ideas he's put forth. Is JP wrong about some things? Yes of course. But that does not mean you can simply dismiss en masse the huge amount of work and insight he has offered.
@@Richard_is_cool That's the classic way to dismiss a messenger espousing views you find objectionable. Ideas are ideas regardless of who puts them forward. If Hitler was the one to discover and say that the Sun is the center of our solar system, it would still be true even though he was an evil bastard. For what it's worth, i am acting in good faith, and have learned many interesting ideas from JP. Even if he is an evil man, (which I don't think he is), his ideas are well worth inspecting for yourself.

values = hierarchy = inequality (giving rise to power), power that then 'manufactures itself upon the sole [value] of preserving itself,' this is done by insuring tribal difference based upon colour, sex. Jordan's argument essentially suggests, those who are invested in the value of preserving power will do so on the basis of ensuring tribal divides, tribal divides based on colour, creed, sex. Thus, those of power will usually be of one creed, one colour, one sex,
Love the way he responded to the older lady, who didn't really have a question - she just wanted to make a statement. He looked straight at her, and then expanded on what she was saying, making her feel valued and respected for her comments. And he would have carried on talking to her, if the guy introducing him hadn't moved on to someone else. How often do you see that - someone so respectful and careful with other people's dignity. That shows nobility of character, and humility. A whole lesson in itself.
Saw that too and chalked it up to him being a clinical psychologist. He's doing what comes second nature now after years of practice. Not only a good speaker but a good listener too.
Could well be the explanation. But I still think that many others in that situation - having the spotlight on you in a Q&A session, would have felt the pressure, and would have said to her - "So, what's your question?" He didn't do that, despite it probably being obvious to him that this was not Q&A, and that most people seeing it would know it wasn't. Her dignity - not embarrassing her in public, was more important. To me - that's impressive. Or perhaps I'm just too big a fan, and reading too much into this! :)
A J - No, it's impressive because it's so rare nowadays within out self centered culture. It used to be prevalent in society and I'll illustrate with a quick story. My dad and I were driving home from lunch when I noted that one of his friends was outside speaking with the police. I suggested we stop and see what's going on. To which my dad did the exact opposite and took another route home. When I asked him why he did that. He said that his friend was an adult and could take care of his own situation but what would make it worse was if he knew we saw him in a compromising situation. It was a move to save face and dignity, which is important in our culture. Dad didn't ignore the situation but knew that interrupting would have caused more harm than good for his friend. It turned out to be nothing serious but I learned a lesson about caring for the dignity of others that day.
The young British/Asian gentleman in the glasses asked a pointed, well articulated question. Peterson answered him with a well formulated response. The young man received the answer favorably. This is an example of good and constructive dialogue in action. Something you RARELY see in the media.
Yeah, even though I disagreed with the point he was making I still had to respect the courage it took to ask the question to a man in charge with a room full of people who would likely disagree with him. He didn't ask it in a condescending way or try to show Peterson how wrong he was. He wasn't sitting there trying to virtue signal. He was looking to engage in a discussion of ideas and was nothing but polite and respectful. We need more people like him in the world.
Angus Mac As Peterson said, no matter what a person says, regardless of its content, there is always someone who can or will claim they where offended by it!
It's a shame you don't understand what he is talking about then. Otherwise you wouldn't have said it in that way. Maybe you're just a right wing sheep looking for a sophist to follow and throw up a comment thinking he agrees with your bigoted ideals. Paterson is less of a sophist than any right wing thinker I've seen. But keep saying what you say. As he said, we have to see it to reject it. Which ultimately makes you the cancer in the right wing party that must be removed from society.
It was and always will be, basically all war is begin when the conceptual dispute doesn't come to a point respected by all parties involved. This is something people keep underplay, like saying they hate people who talk too much or the phrase no action talk only, which undermine the importance of talking which is the basis of thinking. Action when not going through rigorous process of thinking will always be dangerous, but the world keep on forget it like they forget what they ate last week.
Shame it's jibberish though. when he uses the word conceptual he is admitting that he needs obfuscation to hide the lack of content in what he is saying.
brought to you by the same guy who thinks the capitol riots are to be blamed on the 'radical left' not Trump, he only launched a multimillion campaign to convince the very agreeable folk who stormed the capitol that 'their election' had be stolen from them. No facts to back it up, only relentless repetition of the lie... I don't just conceptually disagree with this piece of crap, I also think he is sophist of the worst kind
@Anony Me the first thought that came to mind was John F. Kennedy using back channels to speak to Russian diplomats to avoid the cuban missle crisis turning into a nuclear war.
@@strumspicks2456 In Arizona, a forensic election audit is underway. The senate had to fight tooth and nail to get it. Four companies have been hired to do it. The board of supervisors in Maricopa county wouldn't turn over the election results so they had to be taken to court and forced to. Judges across the country were so afraid that they wouldn't hear the election fraud cases. The evidence has not been heard as of yet. I have personally seen many videos showing election fraud being committed. I have heard experts testifying. There are over 70K affidavits related to election fraud. Trump was right about the mainstream media. It is fake news.
@@strumspicks2456 its great that you know what the word sophist means, so its hilarious how badly you’ve misused it. Politics are reactionary, and I doubt heavily that JBP would have ever said that Trump was not also broadly responsible... because he isn’t a fool. So stop trying to strawman an entire person on one paraphrased comment about the political cesspit you probably call home. His contributions to modern discourse are invaluable, and I’m afraid if you can’t see that, you aren’t looking very closely. Every age has its crisis; he’s identified ours, from a psychological perspective primarily, which is excellent now that we’ve killed God. So, clean you damn room. We were almost all living in abject poverty only 100 years ago. And stop calling people sophists because you disagree with them... makes you sound like a damn sophist.
He put it in reference to interpersonal relationships but as an IR and history student this line also immediately makes me think of the Cold War and like, any conflict going on right now. It's really universally applicable.
I am so impressed not only by Peterson’s ability to communicate so clearly and passionately but by the breadth of his reading and understanding of his field.
I always think CANADA the country got lucky to have him as their citizen, born and bred. Canada truly have someone born and alive who is literally world famous and extremely respected. Just imagine the feeling I get how 1 has to congratulate the entire nation of Canada for giving rise to him. Offcourse the world is lucky to have people like J Peterson
"You let those who utter hateful things do so and let everyone hear them, because that’s the best way that what they say will be understood and rejected". Brilliant.
Seb Fr: You're right. 'Trouble is Amber Rudd has already brought in her hate speech laws. under which some things cannot be said EVEN IF THEY ARE TRUE. And Zuckerberg thinks he can judge what can be said and what cannot - he actually thinks HE can be the arbiter. So we are are already in 1984 - unless young people push back hard.
Jordan Peterson, as far as I'm concerned, is (and always will be) the king of the north. I'm so excited to see him next year. I signed up for a 'meet and greet" and I'm afraid I'll get emotional because he's changed my life so much. As a disabled veteran, I can't thank him enough.
I met Jordan Peterson at the Apollo in London and spoke with him one on one for a few minutes not just in the met and great but while I was in the line outside he must of spoken to a good hundred people in the line before he was called inside, he is a very genuine kind person with an amazing sense of humour but also an immense intellect equalled only by his compassion and care for others. I spoke with him about how his books and online talks helped me with my procrastination and his response and attention to me in our brief chat was just amazing. He is a wonderful human being who deeply cares about people and possesses so much integrity, but his intellect is off the map and I have no doubt he will be spoken of in the centuries to come as one of the greatest minds of our age.
@@rainbowchateauz Jordan Petersons 12 rules for life most certainly had the most impact on me. You have to start from the ground up and go through discomfort to move forward. Getting up early, making my bed every morning and keeping my personal space clean, tidy and organised was a good foundation. I then started doing push ups every day as exercise, and then cold showers, cold showers had a massive impact on me after a few weeks, it taught me to go through discomfort, and then other little steps which became easier and easier. It is very important to not just make little improvements but to remain consistent with them everyday after a while many good and positive habits will compound over weeks and months and will build into much bigger positive things in your life. I now wake up at 6.30 am most mornings without an alarm, my home is spotless and organised, I wild swim every morning workout 3 times a week, read one book a week, with all this on point work and grinding towards my goals is easy, I do have short lapses where I put things off to the next day, but if I try and do that I have my own mental prosses to just do NOW, just don't put things off, just do them now. 12 rules for life helped me immensely on my journey and pointed me in the right direction but bottom line it's your journey and you have to take action yourself, if you can't help yourself then no one will. Look in the mirror and ask your self is this a reason why I can't do something or just an excuse, bottom line you have to take action and be happy being uncomfortable at the start. Hope this helps
Dr. Peterson is a man of such sound logic and reason I continually fail to understand why he is controversial. I raised 3 children as a single mother. Dr. Peterson speaks of the same ideas and values I raised my children with. None of ever been in trouble with the law, all are totally self supporting ( and have been since they each left school) , and all are in loving, stable relationships. I taught them that they were not born exceptional but had to work hard to become exceptional. Dr. Peterson’s message used to be called parenting and wisdom. The fact that the message is controversial is an indictment upon modern socialization fads and not the reality of life.
Did you teach them about lobsters and how people are just like lobsters really, apart from the opposable thumb and not living in the sea. Pretty sure lobsters have their own Jungian types, only a lot more lobsterish.
Apathetic Apparition It's also a naturalistic fallacy of the largest degree since it's been used to justify our current hierarchy which is hardly based on merit. Where's the merit in a system where two kids with extremely high verbal IQ and great drive, one is born to a rich family in LA with a bunch of Hollywood connections and one is born in Detroit to a heroin addicted single mother? The result is one becomes Ben Shapiro and the other one becomes a struggling rapper who gets shot by 21.
Mate I've even watched some of his religions lecturers on TH-cam. I wish I'd had teachers as competent as this man....I may have gone a different direction in life.
This man is not only über intelligent- but he is also a very heartfelt man. What I enjoy about Dr P is this: what he speaks of is actual common sense (which is very lost in our world). The way he delivers this is highly intellectual. J’adore.
Lefty-liberal here. This man didn't say anything that I had ANY problem with. I was VERY impressed and will totally be seeking his stuff out from now on.

No denunciations, no placards, no strops or walkouts. Just an excellent discussion, respectful and intelligent, from the speaker and from the audience. That's how it should be done.
well, hate the English all you want. I love being to England because despite their stupid politicians, porn bans and other shit going on at least their students and young folk are not completely dumb.
Ive been to many cities in England and talked to many students and people in general. The british tend to be very conservative on certain topics BUT on everything else they are very open minded. And the SJW-ism is not as prevalent there in my opinion
It's called "Democracy, tolerance, and maturity", nay "humanity", and should be the absolute minimum requirement for anyone wishing to be termed "human", much less those deemed to be the intellectual cream.
That's because England is not the Americans. As a Frenchman, it pains me to say this ( ;) ) but historically there was more polite society on Albion than in a lot of other places. Wether this remains the case in 2021, the jury is still out on this one though. But, still, it looks like Oxford is more tolerant than Berkeley.
Dr. Petersen needs a nobel prize if such is available for his discipline in psychotherapy analysis because of his knowledge in this discipline. How human's minds work AND his knowledge of the way society works within groups together with his excellent use of words and English language makes him a force to reckon with and such a wonderful work of art of combining differemt elements to give us the whole picture! Bravo Dr. Petersen. You are truly a gift to all in this time where everything note worthy psychologically speaking has become so disjointed that socities are literally falling apart. Higher education has failed due to infiltrations of those who seek to control and not teach, listen, discuss, debate and learn. God bless you and the efforts you put into teaching millions of us through these talks on how exactly we humans work. You are the human operating system step by step, guide book!
unfortunately we don't give many awards for pointing out the obvious...even JP says none of these ideas are HIS...he just articulates them in a way we low IQ people can understand. it's a wondferul talent...but not nobel prize talent...like i said, unfortunately. . . . because he surely DESERVES such an award for just that clear speech he can display
You dont get class discussions like this on the BBC ever..not enough viewer ratings probably and this is why the internet is so brilliant. What a great watch
Russ Ian E. Lection-Hacker I think they should do full discussions and still do their snippet bits on TV. The TV snippet could have a link to watch the actual full unedited footage.
I you observe Mr Peterson, he talks about several different subjects of humanities such as Psychology, Sociology, History, Theology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Evolutionary biology and connects it to derive answers of contemporary Political questions. Thats really amazing.
And he shows every time how little he knows of any subject outside of clinical psychology. What a total and complete joke. The stupid mans version of a "smart person". He's great at using big beautiful words to make the most ridiculous opinions seem like the most insightful idea. But in reality he's a glorified incel.
Ricardo Mata I want to see a comic book series with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Milo, etc. as political super heroes! Their characteristics would be exaggerated and they would debate/battle TYTs 😂
This lecture wasn't long enough. He had some excellent questions and had the time to actually articulate answers without interruption. Could have easily had 3 hours. This lecture shows, as Jordan expressed, that these older universities, where people value their place, hold much more respect for the value of academia, and open honest discussion. Such values should be reinforced in the weider world.
I have just watched the recent Ben Shapiro address and was appalled to be honest. Questions from ideologically driven students who didn't know basic history and were rude and disrespectful, in my view the questioners brought shame to an ancient institution that deserves better.
I pray for him and his family every day. We need them in this world. They've suffered from physical ailments from the get-go, but they have an inner strength, and they pass it on to us. :)
Apparently it was to treat stress after he found out his wife had cancer, which thankfully she is cured of. Those benzodiazepines are sure difficult to kick. Get well soon Prof.
I cannot bring myself to understand why some people hate this man.His pure brilliance beyond ordinary. His ability to articulate his thoughts is another level.
very true. he is the PC-social justice warriors nightmare. these days to promote manhood, deny the existence of the gender paygap and dismantle neo liberalism, marxism and feminism does not make you too many friends:) he knows his shit like there is no tomorrow. pure brilliance.
He answered that himself (as he actually put useful commentary on a lot of issues that he is known for in this talk): People prefer to think in low-res ways and whatever he is doing is forcing you to approach a subject in high res.
I started with a fairly negative bias against JP because I came to know about him from articles and videos that were critical of him. There is a great video series called the alt-right playbook (its pretty good work, and well presented) which avoids naming him but it has lots of criticisms of certain points of view, and a comment stated that some of the viewpoints were those of JP. Another was an article which vilified JP for defending James Damore - who i think seriously lacked foresight and made a staggering blunder. I mean, he stated in his posts that women were more susceptible/sensitive to negative feelings and emotions. That itself should have warned him how women and thereby google HR will see it. Also, he probably didn't have the eloquence or knowledge of JP to back himself (even if he had, he wouldn't be given the chance to defend himself anyway). These sources had formed a very negative picture of JP in my head... However, I was curious about how JP did it!! I mean, the way his points of views had been presented to me - thy were almost indefensible to any sensible person. How did JP do it? What did he say that millions of people (who I had no reason to assume were malicious) had been so affected by his words that they had decided to side with these seriously flawed, seemingly extreme and possibly harmful points of views (as they had been portrayed to me)? Once I had seen a few of his videos... I am completely blown away. I am appalled in the way the left leaning sources have tried to malign his message - its nowhere near how it has been portrayed. They are seriously doing themselves a disservice, and losing their credibility in the process. They might gain a little in the short term, but will lose big time in the long term, as people come to know the underhanded and malicioius ways they are operating. Now that I have seen a few of JPs videos, I have a much better understanding of where James Damore was coming from. In JPs words (rephrasing), the world is very difficult to change - and James Damore's attempt of changing it (with best intentions) was well meaning, but was not well planned and thought out and thus, in a way, destined to fail.
@Joe Hiden What do you mean by "displaced liberal" (didn't find a good definition on the web)? Is it the obvious meaning - a liberal who is now looking at the left movement with scepticism? Also... what do you mean by "where it started and where it is now"? What is the "it" you refer to?
Probably because it was a room full of scholars and academics talking about issues and topics and -not- people with the intent on making it political or making him look like a racist/bigot/pseudo-intellectual or whatever the goal is now or days.

Bollocks. Most people can challenge political correctness. The problem is when the racist bullies use that attack on political correctness as a support to their disgusting attitudes. Most people who see him as a champion dont realise he hates their attitudes and behaviour just as much...but he hasnt got a career niche there.
@@seanh1744 No offense (honestly), but did you listen to full address that you're commenting on? Peterson believes that popular negative opinion should be the mechanism by which we deal with disgusting attitudes. I tend to be in agreement. If a free society wishes to remain free, they have to develop a thick skin with regard to speech, as well as the wisdom to know when speech is truly racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc, so that they can maintain the capacity to debate difficult subjects, or even have a sense of humor.

No matter how much I listen to this man, I'm never satiated. He opens up a doorway to glimpse what can be learnt and drives the need within to seek, improve and grow.
Never had a dad. Or father figure... I've done surprisingly OK without one.. Although I do crave it and know its so important... But after 3 years of listening to you.. You have filled that gap in my life... Absolutely helped me so much Mr Peterson (dad) 🤣 jokes aside.. Thank you so much for all your solid advice and serious reality check.. I hope you get well soon.. You need to get better because we all need you.. The world needs you.. God bless you.. ❤️😊💚
I lacked a mother after six, but had a father who contributed much to me, but I still feel the emotional power you do in the guidance this man shows, in the ego free, and genuine force he has a fine human being. That teaches us all to think, and to use the gift of reason toward a better self and world around us if we listen to his principled insight and direction, and even copy it! You are so right in recognizing how much the world needs Jordan Peterson, to point the directions of human truths that are starving for release once more after being trampled by the lack of dimension offered in science as the answer to life's important questions.
Unfortunately even people who have their fathers in their lives don’t get to hear these kind of important messages. I grew up with a dad who was always away and I needed to hear stuff like this. I’ll be sure to pass it on to my children!
I so respect Peterson for his intellect and stoicism. But I gained even more respect for him after this Q&A simply by the manner in which he answered the last question. He recognised the relative 'impressionability' of the crowd he has speaking to. Given JBP's feelings for Trudeau, the question forced him to consider, not his answer, but the way he was going to articulate his disdain. I think he didn't want to deride Trudeau too vigorously in front of impressionable, yet intelligent, but still impressionable youth. He realizes how much weight his words currently have and didn't want to place a wrong impression of how one should carry themself.
Jason G I totally agree. I like the way he often pauses, often for quite a while, before setting out his responses. Much of this is probably down to the way in which his words are twisted or taken out of context but I think also because he feels the weight of responsibility that lies on him given the scrutiny his words are under, to be truthful. (One of his steps I believe.) I also like the way he sometimes answers a question with a very honest, "I don't know.." when he genuinely doesn't. Too many ppl have too much ego to simply admit that, thinking it will diminish them in the eyes of their audience.
Jason G he isn’t an intellectual he just speaks clearly. Fine respect his stoicism but for god’s sake don’t respect someone who speaks on topics outside his field and clearly doesn’t know or intentionally mars history. He might be a qualified psychologist but he is an amateur philosopher and neither a sociologist nor a historian. Some people can speak outside their field but rarely are they popular and pundits.
Dr P was of course willingly taking his own medicine. Being offered (by the nature and place of the question) an easy opportunity - say like a Samson - to push further apart the pillars of Trudeau's PC Temple, so as to bring on further chaos with no certainty of any real benefit. " hmmm....do no harm.....best bet" he was thinking. Hence the pause. So true to form he tasted the very potion he would consider offering as remedy for the ailment....."tread very very carefully when in a position of power, and don't make things worse"
Jason G I share that sentiment. Really pleased he didn't just slam Trudeau, which would have been so easy. But I believe that we need to respect the office of the PM, if not the person himself, because otherwise we undermine this democratic institution in the long run.
I feel like addressing a public gathering each time I listen to JP but when I get in front of three people, I lose all the vocabulary back to my original factory settings 😅
I actually learned my solution to this problem from Jordan Peterson,.. if you notice he never speaks before knowing exactly what he wants to say. even if it means 30 seconds of silence before, or even in the middle of, speaking. most people, like me, begin to focus on that silence and are intimidated by the silence. but a long pause will empower your response, you have to bathe in the silence, really soak it in while clearly forming your thought. learn how to be comfortable in uncomfortableness
We’ve never met but you have done so much to improve my life Dr. Jordan Peterson. All by nothing more than coincidence, you were there when I looked for understanding. Thank you. Your greatly appreciated.
The most important thinker of the modern age. Bar none. Dr Peterson may be the one person who can pull us back from the precipice of absolute RUIN we find ourselves on. God bless him ❤
The truth about Dr. Jordan Peterson is that, not only is he an intelligent, well-read, well-spoken, wise and knowledgeable man, he's also a good, decent, dignified, magnanimous and noble man. And his detractors, mostly if not all, lack most of those attributes and qualities, if not every single one of them.
Are you referring to me sir? I'm not sure what your point is but if you're interested in knowing me PM me and I will meet you in person. I can assure you that have nothing to hide, I stand for what I say and I'm afraid of no one.
I've listened to this man for nearly 2 days nonstop, I can hardly keep my eyes open. He's absolutely brilliant and everything a man should be. A national treasure
He is not only a national treasure but an international one. Lots of his material is on TH-cam and therefore accessible to people all around the world (for people who have access to the internet)
Mr. Jordan is one of the best men alive today. I'm extremely grateful to listen to his talks and that he is willing to share his knowledge. My life is changing dramatically since I started listening to him. Great, great man!
I am now 60 years old and find Jordan Peterson spot on with what is needed for humans to be all they can be. Please introduce the youngsters you know to this man, as you will be helping humanity.
@Billy Priestley I’m 26 years old. The fabric of society is melting. I understand America is a land of immigrants. But each immigrant practices their own culture instead of American culture. And when somebody talks about American culture another American gets angry.
@@manuelcastro3506 Migrants here are taught to celebrate and embrace their culture, while the native culture is spat on and derided in media. The country will collapse if this continues.
@John Smith I agree with you. One country is dependent on the native culture. The media wants to create a “utopian” country with multiple cultures is ridiculous. That’s why countries were created. Putting people together either different ideas and norms is asking for trouble.
But he's not right wing. He sees himself as a liberal because he sees the need for change, just not the type of change we are seeing in today's world. The best part is he can articulate his position so well.
@@robadams1506 And he is also mocking the claim...subtly that that there are no right-wing psychologists, we all sit on the left to conservative middle

@@australianword3812 he is a classical liberal. Economically he showed already to support free market economy so that would put him with austrian economists.
I've noticed a lot of attempts at cleaver 'coded' language and snide remarks buried within discussions about JP. I wish more people would (or could) fully articulate their criticism of him. I certainly would appreciate reading some different opinions and points of view, particularly if their more substantive than, "he's a Marxist."
@@PITA-kd2jn never happen. His attackers take low-resolution, ideological, positions. When they try to critic his logos, theyre going up against empirical science and all the great philosophers of the past 150 years, as well as all the accumulated wisdom deposed in the great religions to date.
I don't mind my musicians coked up or pilled up. I prefer my thinkers sober headed. Hope he returns from rehab a more thoughtful person. And does some more reading before he starts spouting off
I am curious. How does the Bible define it? What word did JESUS use in Hebrew or Aramaic. So now I will go do some homework. Because Jesus taught us only to hate evil Not People or one another.
This man is the embodiment of a respectful, intellectual and articulate human-being. The best thing - he teaches us ways that can help us all become those exact things. A man dedicated to teaching his truth for the betterment of others. Thank you, JBP.

Jordan Peterson is one of those voices who will be remembered, for centuries to come, as one of a few who dared to speak out against this latest ideology from the left. He is a very wise man indeed and it was wonderful to sit down in my room and be able to listen to his fine ideas for helping making humanity what it would hopefully like to be. I always enjoy listening to this mans ideas and I cannot wait to buy his book 12 steps ... ... ... . Forgive me for forgetting the full title. I'm sure some bright person will correct me in the title anyway. I only found out about Jordan Peterson maybe a couple of months ago which says more about me as a person than I would like it to. I thought I was fairly intelligent until I began listening to this man speak. He has completely opened my mind to new ideas and I'm so grateful for that. I have enjoyed hearing his speak now so many times over the past 2 months and I look forward to reading his material and hearing him speak in the future. With that said there are times when I need to break out the thesaurus to help me understand the meaning of some of what he means but I truly believe that's a great thing. I watched sit down between Peterson, Shapiro and Rubin? They were speaking about how they had found fame and both Peterson and Shapiro pointed to their putting down of these lefty snowflakes as the beginning of it for them. Shapiro slapped that lefty fool on Gun Controls, his name escapes me ATM.. The point I was trying to make is what Shapiro said, he said that people saw his interview on CNN? and they came to his speeches thinking he was that way all the time only to find that he was far deeper than that and they stayed for hours to listen. It just shows that people are starving for real discussion across our world but we have a set or group of people? yes let's all call them people..haha! These so called "people" who pull the strings of humanity are not interested in the concept of real and verifiable free speech. They are only interested in wielding power and the best way to do that is tribalism and political correctness. These ideas have fundamentally shifted our thinking and have in turn caused us to think before we speak. There's nothing wrong with thinking before u speak until it's used as a way to stifle debate/discussion.. I love his thinking on tribalism and the way he speaks on successful societies, and also his views on sacrificing the sovereign rights of individuals for the right of the state.. I could speak all day and I'm sure I don't understand everything he speaks on but that's down to me to educate myself better. This man makes me want to be better as a human being. I'm pretty sure he has that effect on many millions who watch his lectures, etc. Thank you for this brilliant video
Xeccelerator Go have a debate with him. He would teach you a thing or two. Your idiocy knows no bounds. Tapping away at your keyboard whilst all cosy in your mom’s basement.
I love this man and the deeper meanings he manifests based on true identification of the problems, not leaving things in fog or justifying emotional doctrines. JP is brilliant.
"The abstract territory of conceptual dispute is a substitute for war and death. And it can be a brutal substitute because conceptual disagreement can be very intense. But compared to war and death, its hardly intense at all." From a veteran of several warzones, thank you Jordan. I agree with this more then any other thing I can think of.
TangoXrayNiner very true, sir. No one knows until they know, then they wish they didn’t. Kids play games, actors make movies and millions watch them and feel they have insight into war. The only people who had insight in war, are those that didn’t watch or play “war”... No sir. They felt the indescribable awesomeness that permeates the air with the reality that lives are about to be lost, and changed forever. When close friends speak of tough times at their construction or office jobs I just listen, and am glad they really have no idea what a bad day at “work” really can be like for the people responsible for protecting your interests and ideals.
He a teacher through and through.... the way he can talk to others as students or as fellow individuals that he genuinely wants to discuss with is really amazing.
Have to say, Peterson is one of the most impressive speakers I've listened to. The ability to think on his feet and operate on so many levels. Severely underrated.
He didn’t force you to do shit, you choose to listen enough to his speech and knowledge, to the point of your instinct concluding, that since you don’t understand his words and /or don’t agree with, it has been CHOSEN within you to be annoyed to think in the matter you claim you were “forced” to do.
This guy amazes me, he sat here and gave a speech from the start and then answered so many questions on varied subjects with no notes of any kind. Yet he was able to express so much and offer so many different terms to help us understand what he is both saying and actually meaning.

I actually searched for the transcript of the session online and downloaded it to fully comprehend at leisure the insights that he unveiled so eloquently. Thank you Mr Peterson.
@Voja Right you are. The way I put it is that Peterson gives me full permission think rationally. And leads the way in an inimitable, marvelous way. I challenge anyone to show me someone anywhere in the world who is as smart as is Peterson. Not kidding. His wisdom imparting potency is second only to the Bible. He’s pretty darn close to it. Again, not kidding or exaggerating. I truly sincerely found that to be very much the case. Wish you all the best. 💙
I never listen to podcasts or talks. I think it just feels incredibly cheesy to do so. But watching Jordan's talks and listening to his podcasts just feels like a constant feed of learning going straight into my brain. It's incredible.
What I truly love about Jordan Peterson is that he is a true deep thinker. I have often seen him pause before responding - or even state that he will not respond to a question because he hasn’t yet thought it through completely. A good example in this video is his response to the very last question from the audience when he pauses for a tension-mounting 15-20 seconds ... before finally insightfully answering a question on how he would advise the current very politically correct Canadian Prime Minister on where he might be going wrong. Don’t leave this discussion without first checking it out at 1:09
Q and A sessions was fantastic, the exchange between the Asian student and Jordan Peterson was really one of the best examples I’ve seen of effectively reaching a common ground of mutual understanding regarding a contentious topic or issue. Hats off the the student for his articulation and open mindedness.
What a breath of fresh air to expert ience a brave , honest and knowledgeable thinker in today's world, not to mention the civility, appreciativeness and alertness of the audience. Wished Mr. Pterson could tour in a few forbidden countries in Eastern Europe, Asia and the middle East. Thanks
JP is amazing!! I like what he tries to do on an individual level for people. I don't have to agree with him on every philosophy that does not make him a bad man. He's a good man, he has a great heart and I learn something everytime he speaks.
@Les lots of great thinkers of today are beginning to say it is very likely that the universe is a simulation, how do you feel about that if you don't mind me asking?
@@zerofox7347 I can answer that, like God, even though I'm an atheist, I'd say its impossible to know, so the idea of God or no God, or simulation or no simulation are probably agnostic questions, effectively the great thinkers are using maths to try and prove things without facts and assuming that it's more likely that a society advanced so far that we are a simulation, rather than assuming we are the first or discounting the idea we will be extinct before a society could be advanced enough to cone up with this simulation, or even the computing power to perform the simulation. Those people are just full of hubris and maybe should reconsider their status as "great thinkers"
His ability to articulate his thoughts objectively while building his argument factually puts him on an extraordinary level. More human than human, the best of us. Everyone should be listening.
It is widely believed by about 30% of the population that he is a radical right wing phony. You. An send these leftists a well answered question and as they pretend to have listened their confirmation bias stops them from listening to the question or answering the question. It’s scary to watch leftists deduce Jordan In such simple and misleading ways. It scares me how poorly our leftist friends have lost critical thinking at the hands of the universities.
I don't know how this video came across my playlist, but I watched it with rapt attention. I love how civil, unpretentious, and thoughtful the speaker is. Knowing your own fallacies and being humble is so much more important than being brash, egotistical, and ignorant, as so many in modern society are. Truly a breath of fresh air, that I wish so many people, including political leaders, would listen to. Like Ben Shapiro, but much more sedate and mature, and therefore palatable to people with opposing ideas. I would give him a double thumbs up, if I could!
"Be kind" is bullshit. Having this stupid idea that everyone and everything is wonderful is beyond naive. With that type of logic in play paedophiles deserve kindness, serial killers etc
How anyone can listen to a talk like this and then turn around and call JBP "alt-right" is beyond me. They are either extremely unintelligent or clearly bias.
I don't know if you were listening but he pretty much answered your question while answering to the lady. People don't like to think in high resolution when they have low resolution, but full of compassion, solution to the complicated problem.
@@prxbkl Every time Shapiro types and Peterson talk there's that one guy: finally some common sense, these lefties are outta control and gonna conquer the world
@@tenfourten8438 I wonder if you're the opposite of all the people who admire and respect him. We give nothing to him but respect for showing us what clear, logical and reasoned thinking can make of mere mortals.
Several years ago I began watching his classroom lectures, Pinocchio then the Biblical series. And even then (prior to bill c16) it was obvious JP wasn't like 99% of the out of touch self-aggrandizing Intellectuals who live and work in the safe and padded world of academia. I was so grateful to find a deep thinking professor at a prestigious university who's thoughts and values were, from my perspective, grounded in logic.
But he isn't as great as you think of him. None of his preached ideas are new, he just presents it in a more sophisticated manner. Even then, he also has some really bad takes that don't correspond to logical reasoning, but those takes get mixed up with some self-help tips so you take it for granted.
This is where TH-cam and social media platforms can be a blessing. To be able to watch Jordan Peterson speak at such a prominent venue among the world's future thinkers. I am grateful for having stumbled upon this.
In an age where TH-cam vloggers are making longer videos to put more ads into, as their livelihood depends on it, and thus the level of meaningless noise and fluff goes up exponentially, there seems to be harder to find the time and energy to discern what’s worthwhile, a Jordan Peterson is almost always worth it. Thing is they’re always sooo long. Good use of time, for sure.
Kim Williams - My school had a year abroad program in Oxford, I studied Wittgenstein with Timothy Beardsworth, who then held the philosophy chair at New College (Oxford University is not one school but a collection of them, if you did not know), and the German enlightenment philosophers with Fiona … dammit, I forget her last name … at Magdalen (pronounced “maudlin”), and other things, and as part of it all … I belonged to the Oxford Union Society: I forget how many £ it cost, but it wasn’t much, and it was always quite crowded at night, because the reason to join was … _they had the cheapest beer in _*_all the city_*_ by over 80%,_ it was ridiculous, but aside from getting to hear Stephen Hawking speak and answer questions one evening, there wasn’t much reason to join other than the beer, and let me tell you _everyone_ who joined joined because of the beer, and I hate to disappoint you, but … maybe _two_ of the whole drunken lot of them were possibly the world’s future thinkers? and the rest of them were … well, pretty much little Jordan Petersons, full of bluster and verbiage and regurgitated bias presented haughtily as fact.
Except the algorithms only show it to certain people.

You can see when that asian boy had his question answered, he was the one to applaud the most, even though he initially disagreed.
Those are the kind of people everyone wishes to debate, people who put forward good arguments, but can admit when they hear a more convincing one.
You would be incorrect in stating that he initially disagreed, as Peterson quite clearly said, "I agree completely with your diagnosis." The only thing that they had a disagreement on per se.. which wasn't necessarily a disagreement but a clarification on prognosis, was the fact that the proliferation of ideas through free speech is designed not only to further the evolution of the individual, but his family unit and broader community, which the kid readily included into his analysis, and continued to ask the question about whether or not to regulate the most "vehement" and "egregious" forms of free speech. It wasn't a disagreement, but a true question and dialogic process of informing both of them. It's also clear to me that the kid's mind is a supercomputer. A discussion between intellectual heavyweights.
Not that this is particularly important, but I thought he sounded kinda Singaporean or Malaysian. There was an Aussie quality too. I honestly had trouble nailing down his accent, but if I had to guess, I'd say Singapore or Malaysia.
He's Laotian, his name is Keng.
That's why de-platforming shouldn't be allowed .I hope we don't go the same way as the States.
@@jasondicioccio880 His accent sounds Australian to me... so why not guess him Australian rather than Singaporean and/or Malaysia?! Despite his demeanor and accent, which seems very westernized, you pegged him as Singaporean or Malaysian, probably solely influenced by the way he looks... though I could be wrong...
My intention is not to accuse you of being a racist, and my apologies if I sound like it. I only point out what you did here as a case in point of simple / unconscious bias people do have. Despite what Peterson said about not being led astray by collectivist/tribalistic way of viewing the world and opt for individualistic world view, the truth is in the West, immigrants from other heritrage origins deal with people viewing THEM in a collectivist/tribalistic way, being perceived as the OTHER no matter how much they assimilate along internal or cultural lines. And there are serious negative implications when people adopt the ways of the West, but still in some unconscious ways are barred from being viewed as a full member of the Western society.
If you have any immigrant friends, let them read this.... see if they agree. I guarantee you, the response will surprise you... or I could just be ranting on a random youtube comment section that you will never read. lol I said what I have to say.
This is what we used to expect when we went to a university.

Thank you for putting this together.
values = hierarchy = inequality (giving rise to power), power that then 'manufactures itself upon the sole [value] of preserving itself,' this is done by insuring tribal difference based upon colour, sex. Jordan's argument essentially suggests, those who are invested in the value of preserving power will do so on the basis of ensuring tribal divides, tribal divides based on colour, creed, sex. Thus, those of power will usually be of one creed, one colour, one sex,
God bless you
Love the way he responded to the older lady, who didn't really have a question - she just wanted to make a statement. He looked straight at her, and then expanded on what she was saying, making her feel valued and respected for her comments. And he would have carried on talking to her, if the guy introducing him hadn't moved on to someone else. How often do you see that - someone so respectful and careful with other people's dignity. That shows nobility of character, and humility. A whole lesson in itself.
I wish there were more people like you who show recognition for such a trait.
Saw that too and chalked it up to him being a clinical psychologist. He's doing what comes second nature now after years of practice. Not only a good speaker but a good listener too.
Could well be the explanation. But I still think that many others in that situation - having the spotlight on you in a Q&A session, would have felt the pressure, and would have said to her - "So, what's your question?" He didn't do that, despite it probably being obvious to him that this was not Q&A, and that most people seeing it would know it wasn't. Her dignity - not embarrassing her in public, was more important. To me - that's impressive. Or perhaps I'm just too big a fan, and reading too much into this! :)
A J - No, it's impressive because it's so rare nowadays within out self centered culture. It used to be prevalent in society and I'll illustrate with a quick story.
My dad and I were driving home from lunch when I noted that one of his friends was outside speaking with the police. I suggested we stop and see what's going on. To which my dad did the exact opposite and took another route home. When I asked him why he did that. He said that his friend was an adult and could take care of his own situation but what would make it worse was if he knew we saw him in a compromising situation. It was a move to save face and dignity, which is important in our culture. Dad didn't ignore the situation but knew that interrupting would have caused more harm than good for his friend. It turned out to be nothing serious but I learned a lesson about caring for the dignity of others that day.
There is a different manners system in England. Pretty standard here.
The young British/Asian gentleman in the glasses asked a pointed, well articulated question. Peterson answered him with a well formulated response. The young man received the answer favorably. This is an example of good and constructive dialogue in action. Something you RARELY see in the media.
Yeah, even though I disagreed with the point he was making I still had to respect the courage it took to ask the question to a man in charge with a room full of people who would likely disagree with him. He didn't ask it in a condescending way or try to show Peterson how wrong he was. He wasn't sitting there trying to virtue signal. He was looking to engage in a discussion of ideas and was nothing but polite and respectful. We need more people like him in the world.
Maybe you can explain your reasoning behind the "British/Asian" comment ?

“Conceptual dispute is the substitute for war and death.”
What a magnificent articulation! A great discussion!
It was and always will be, basically all war is begin when the conceptual dispute doesn't come to a point respected by all parties involved. This is something people keep underplay, like saying they hate people who talk too much or the phrase no action talk only, which undermine the importance of talking which is the basis of thinking. Action when not going through rigorous process of thinking will always be dangerous, but the world keep on forget it like they forget what they ate last week.
AKA diplomacy. Not a new concept! Next, JP will be saying, "If only the Israelis and Palestinians would talk". 🤦♂
Shame it's jibberish though. when he uses the word conceptual he is admitting that he needs obfuscation to hide the lack of content in what he is saying.

He put it in reference to interpersonal relationships but as an IR and history student this line also immediately makes me think of the Cold War and like, any conflict going on right now. It's really universally applicable.
I am so impressed not only by Peterson’s ability to communicate so clearly and passionately but by the breadth of his reading and understanding of his field.

Jordan Peterson, as far as I'm concerned, is (and always will be) the king of the north.
I'm so excited to see him next year. I signed up for a 'meet and greet" and I'm afraid I'll get emotional because he's changed my life so much. As a disabled veteran, I can't thank him enough.
As a Canadian, I'll honor that crown. He is a sovereign I would pledge to.
I met Jordan Peterson at the Apollo in London and spoke with him one on one for a few minutes not just in the met and great but while I was in the line outside he must of spoken to a good hundred people in the line before he was called inside, he is a very genuine kind person with an amazing sense of humour but also an immense intellect equalled only by his compassion and care for others.
I spoke with him about how his books and online talks helped me with my procrastination and his response and attention to me in our brief chat was just amazing.
He is a wonderful human being who deeply cares about people and possesses so much integrity, but his intellect is off the map and I have no doubt he will be spoken of in the centuries to come as one of the greatest minds of our age.

I then started doing push ups every day as exercise, and then cold showers, cold showers had a massive impact on me after a few weeks, it taught me to go through discomfort, and then other little steps which became easier and easier.
It is very important to not just make little improvements but to remain consistent with them everyday after a while many good and positive habits will compound over weeks and months and will build into much bigger positive things in your life.
I now wake up at 6.30 am most mornings without an alarm, my home is spotless and organised, I wild swim every morning workout 3 times a week, read one book a week, with all this on point work and grinding towards my goals is easy, I do have short lapses where I put things off to the next day, but if I try and do that I have my own mental prosses to just do NOW, just don't put things off, just do them now.
12 rules for life helped me immensely on my journey and pointed me in the right direction but bottom line it's your journey and you have to take action yourself, if you can't help yourself then no one will.
Look in the mirror and ask your self is this a reason why I can't do something or just an excuse, bottom line you have to take action and be happy being uncomfortable at the start.
Hope this helps
@@fozzy1004 Well said, that's brilliant you changed your life through simply reading that book.
This is literally the talk I didn't know i needed. Dr. Jordan Peterson you're gold !
Yeeeees!!
Please share, I know I do, especially with my nephews
He is one of the greatest minds we have seen in 600 years. It kills me that so many MSM figures want to destroy him.
@@Trollkungen1 because they’re so much smarter than he is. Lol.
@@mikef2813 the MSM is a bunch of bumbling idiots.
Dr. Peterson is a man of such sound logic and reason I continually fail to understand why he is controversial. I raised 3 children as a single mother. Dr. Peterson speaks of the same ideas and values I raised my children with. None of ever been in trouble with the law, all are totally self supporting ( and have been since they each left school) , and all are in loving, stable relationships. I taught them that they were not born exceptional but had to work hard to become exceptional. Dr. Peterson’s message used to be called parenting and wisdom. The fact that the message is controversial is an indictment upon modern socialization fads and not the reality of life.
"I continually fail to understand why he is controversial". Try harder.
Did you teach them about lobsters and how people are just like lobsters really, apart from the opposable thumb and not living in the sea. Pretty sure lobsters have their own Jungian types, only a lot more lobsterish.
kefsound Being cryptic does not signify wisdom. It signifies emptiness. If you have something to say, say it. If not, STFU.
A lot of anti-lobster prejudice here
Apathetic Apparition It's also a naturalistic fallacy of the largest degree since it's been used to justify our current hierarchy which is hardly based on merit.
Where's the merit in a system where two kids with extremely high verbal IQ and great drive, one is born to a rich family in LA with a bunch of Hollywood connections and one is born in Detroit to a heroin addicted single mother? The result is one becomes Ben Shapiro and the other one becomes a struggling rapper who gets shot by 21.
I can listen to him for hours. Never in my life did I ever think a human being could draw me in like Professor Peterson.
I agree, me too I just started watching and now I'm pursuing my happiness and taking back my life.
I have been listening to him for the last three days since I found his video on TH-cam. He is so cool.
Don`t worry, it´s just a phase.
Mate I've even watched some of his religions lecturers on TH-cam. I wish I'd had teachers as competent as this man....I may have gone a different direction in life.
That's because he uses all 3 forms of persuassion- ethos, pathos and logos
This man is not only über intelligent- but he is also a very heartfelt man. What I enjoy about Dr P is this: what he speaks of is actual common sense (which is very lost in our world). The way he delivers this is highly intellectual. J’adore.
Lefty-liberal here. This man didn't say anything that I had ANY problem with. I was VERY impressed and will totally be seeking his stuff out from now on.
You might be a Classic liberal then. Leftist wouldn't even listen to him, thus the underlying issue.

No denunciations, no placards, no strops or walkouts. Just an excellent discussion, respectful and intelligent, from the speaker and from the audience. That's how it should be done.
well, hate the English all you want. I love being to England because despite their stupid politicians, porn bans and other shit going on at least their students and young folk are not completely dumb.
Ive been to many cities in England and talked to many students and people in general. The british tend to be very conservative on certain topics BUT on everything else they are very open minded. And the SJW-ism is not as prevalent there in my opinion
So you're saying we should set up our lobster farms along the lines of Oxford Union?
It's called "Democracy, tolerance, and maturity", nay "humanity", and should be the absolute minimum requirement for anyone wishing to be termed "human", much less those deemed to be the intellectual cream.
That's because England is not the Americans.
As a Frenchman, it pains me to say this ( ;) ) but historically there was more polite society on Albion than in a lot of other places.
Wether this remains the case in 2021, the jury is still out on this one though. But, still, it looks like Oxford is more tolerant than Berkeley.
Dr. Petersen needs a nobel prize if such is available for his discipline in psychotherapy analysis because of his knowledge in this discipline. How human's minds work AND his knowledge of the way society works within groups together with his excellent use of words and English language makes him a force to reckon with and such a wonderful work of art of combining differemt elements to give us the whole picture! Bravo Dr. Petersen. You are truly a gift to all in this time where everything note worthy psychologically speaking has become so disjointed that socities are literally falling apart. Higher education has failed due to infiltrations of those who seek to control and not teach, listen, discuss, debate and learn. God bless you and the efforts you put into teaching millions of us through these talks on how exactly we humans work. You are the human operating system step by step, guide book!
🤮
unfortunately we don't give many awards for pointing out the obvious...even JP says none of these ideas are HIS...he just articulates them in a way we low IQ people can understand. it's a wondferul talent...but not nobel prize talent...like i said, unfortunately. . . . because he surely DESERVES such an award for just that clear speech he can display
You dont get class discussions like this on the BBC ever..not enough viewer ratings probably and this is why the internet is so brilliant. What a great watch
So you're saying the BBC should organize itself along the lines of the Internet?
+ Mike, I think there would be high ratings, which is why they tend to tightly control group discussions with stacked panels and editing.
Russ Ian E. Lection-Hacker I think they should do full discussions and still do their snippet bits on TV. The TV snippet could have a link to watch the actual full unedited footage.
Russ Ian E. Lection-Hacker:
This deserves kudos for being the most subtle lobster dig I've seen on the internet yet
Russ Ian E. Lection-Hacker Well played Sir! Welcome to the Lobster Society. 😊
I you observe Mr Peterson, he talks about several different subjects of humanities such as Psychology, Sociology, History, Theology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Evolutionary biology and connects it to derive answers of contemporary Political questions. Thats really amazing.
Tyler Mod how so?
ESTsiaster_19XX Just isn’t though, is it
@@jakehorn2583 It just is, period.
And he shows every time how little he knows of any subject outside of clinical psychology. What a total and complete joke. The stupid mans version of a "smart person". He's great at using big beautiful words to make the most ridiculous opinions seem like the most insightful idea. But in reality he's a glorified incel.
you nail it ! ...how people can describe this as "Great, coherent talk" is beyond me ...very sad
If Jordan Peterson came in a happy meal as an action figure I would buy it.
If you left with that actionfigure., I am pretty sure, you would be stabbed with a hammer and a sickle. Be careful, what you ask for.
Ricardo Mata ... this comment wins the internet!
Ricardo Mata I want to see a comic book series with Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Milo, etc. as political super heroes! Their characteristics would be exaggerated and they would debate/battle TYTs 😂
So would most of his infantile fans
Redro Wollof T'nod those would be some smart babies!
This lecture wasn't long enough. He had some excellent questions and had the time to actually articulate answers without interruption. Could have easily had 3 hours. This lecture shows, as Jordan expressed, that these older universities, where people value their place, hold much more respect for the value of academia, and open honest discussion. Such values should be reinforced in the weider world.
You clearly haven't seen recent Oxford/Cambridge Union debates, they completely went off the cliff.
I have just watched the recent Ben Shapiro address and was appalled to be honest. Questions from ideologically driven students who didn't know basic history and were rude and disrespectful, in my view the questioners brought shame to an ancient institution that deserves better.
I can say with absolute conviction that this is one hour and fifteen minutes of my life that I spent very well!
Here's for some time even better spent: th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=debunking+peterson
Great, coherent talk. Hope Peterson recovers; the world needs a fine mind like his.
It sure does. A voice of light in the closing darkness. Get well soon Doc, we need you like never before.
Wait. He ill?
@@mambopana5577 he's having trouble getting off of some medication he used because of his depression, i think. so, yes: He ill
I pray for him and his family every day. We need them in this world. They've suffered from physical ailments from the get-go, but they have an inner strength, and they pass it on to us. :)
Apparently it was to treat stress after he found out his wife had cancer, which thankfully she is cured of. Those benzodiazepines are sure difficult to kick. Get well soon Prof.
I cannot bring myself to understand why some people hate this man.His pure brilliance beyond ordinary.
His ability to articulate his thoughts is another level.
very true. he is the PC-social justice warriors nightmare. these days to promote manhood, deny the existence of the gender paygap and dismantle neo liberalism, marxism
and feminism does not make you too many friends:) he knows his shit like there is no tomorrow. pure brilliance.
Intellect aside, common sense, independent thinking, and personal responsibility terrifies the Left, therefore Peterson is the enemy.
He answered that himself (as he actually put useful commentary on a lot of issues that he is known for in this talk): People prefer to think in low-res ways and whatever he is doing is forcing you to approach a subject in high res.
I started with a fairly negative bias against JP because I came to know about him from articles and videos that were critical of him. There is a great video series called the alt-right playbook (its pretty good work, and well presented) which avoids naming him but it has lots of criticisms of certain points of view, and a comment stated that some of the viewpoints were those of JP. Another was an article which vilified JP for defending James Damore - who i think seriously lacked foresight and made a staggering blunder. I mean, he stated in his posts that women were more susceptible/sensitive to negative feelings and emotions. That itself should have warned him how women and thereby google HR will see it. Also, he probably didn't have the eloquence or knowledge of JP to back himself (even if he had, he wouldn't be given the chance to defend himself anyway).
These sources had formed a very negative picture of JP in my head... However, I was curious about how JP did it!! I mean, the way his points of views had been presented to me - thy were almost indefensible to any sensible person. How did JP do it? What did he say that millions of people (who I had no reason to assume were malicious) had been so affected by his words that they had decided to side with these seriously flawed, seemingly extreme and possibly harmful points of views (as they had been portrayed to me)?
Once I had seen a few of his videos... I am completely blown away. I am appalled in the way the left leaning sources have tried to malign his message - its nowhere near how it has been portrayed. They are seriously doing themselves a disservice, and losing their credibility in the process. They might gain a little in the short term, but will lose big time in the long term, as people come to know the underhanded and malicioius ways they are operating.
Now that I have seen a few of JPs videos, I have a much better understanding of where James Damore was coming from. In JPs words (rephrasing), the world is very difficult to change - and James Damore's attempt of changing it (with best intentions) was well meaning, but was not well planned and thought out and thus, in a way, destined to fail.
@Joe Hiden
What do you mean by "displaced liberal" (didn't find a good definition on the web)? Is it the obvious meaning - a liberal who is now looking at the left movement with scepticism?

@@GreatwhiteShark88 why the spite?
Wow. This was by far one of the best talks that Peterson's ever given.
also a Poe.
Probably because it was a room full of scholars and academics talking about issues and topics and -not- people with the intent on making it political or making him look like a racist/bigot/pseudo-intellectual or whatever the goal is now or days.
values = hierarchy = inequality (giving rise to power), power that then 'manufactures itself upon the sole [value] of preserving itself,' this is done by insuring tribal difference based upon colour, sex. Jordan's argument essentially suggests, those who are invested in the value of preserving power will do so on the basis of ensuring tribal divides, tribal divides based on colour, creed, sex. Thus, those of power will usually be of one creed, one colour, one sex,
"All the right wing psychologists are in this room sitting in this chair."

one of the few guys in our age that can challenge political correctness with clear reasoning and integrity, Respect!!!
Bollocks. Most people can challenge political correctness. The problem is when the racist bullies use that attack on political correctness as a support to their disgusting attitudes. Most people who see him as a champion dont realise he hates their attitudes and behaviour just as much...but he hasnt got a career niche there.
@@seanh1744 No offense (honestly), but did you listen to full address that you're commenting on? Peterson believes that popular negative opinion should be the mechanism by which we deal with disgusting attitudes. I tend to be in agreement. If a free society wishes to remain free, they have to develop a thick skin with regard to speech, as well as the wisdom to know when speech is truly racist, misogynist, homophobic, etc, so that they can maintain the capacity to debate difficult subjects, or even have a sense of humor.
@@seanh1744 People's racism and bullying are byproducts of the chaos of a free society. Free society is everything he (Petersen stands for). Without it we wouldn't have this exchange of ideas and power, education, and general human enlightenment.

Never had a dad. Or father figure... I've done surprisingly OK without one.. Although I do crave it and know its so important... But after 3 years of listening to you..

That teaches us all to think, and to use the gift of reason toward a better self and world around us if we listen to his principled insight and direction, and even copy it! You are so right in recognizing how much the world needs Jordan Peterson, to point the directions of human truths that are starving for release once more after being trampled by the lack of dimension offered in science as the answer to life's important questions.
@@axem.8338 💓
Indeed! And absolutely!
Unfortunately even people who have their fathers in their lives don’t get to hear these kind of important messages. I grew up with a dad who was always away and I needed to hear stuff like this. I’ll be sure to pass it on to my children!
I so respect Peterson for his intellect and stoicism. But I gained even more respect for him after this Q&A simply by the manner in which he answered the last question. He recognised the relative 'impressionability' of the crowd he has speaking to. Given JBP's feelings for Trudeau, the question forced him to consider, not his answer, but the way he was going to articulate his disdain. I think he didn't want to deride Trudeau too vigorously in front of impressionable, yet intelligent, but still impressionable youth. He realizes how much weight his words currently have and didn't want to place a wrong impression of how one should carry themself.
Jason G I totally agree. I like the way he often pauses, often for quite a while, before setting out his responses. Much of this is probably down to the way in which his words are twisted or taken out of context but I think also because he feels the weight of responsibility that lies on him given the scrutiny his words are under, to be truthful. (One of his steps I believe.)
I also like the way he sometimes answers a question with a very honest, "I don't know.." when he genuinely doesn't. Too many ppl have too much ego to simply admit that, thinking it will diminish them in the eyes of their audience.
I thought he might announce his run for prime minister :) .
Jason G he isn’t an intellectual he just speaks clearly. Fine respect his stoicism but for god’s sake don’t respect someone who speaks on topics outside his field and clearly doesn’t know or intentionally mars history. He might be a qualified psychologist but he is an amateur philosopher and neither a sociologist nor a historian. Some people can speak outside their field but rarely are they popular and pundits.
Dr P was of course willingly taking his own medicine. Being offered (by the nature and place of the question) an easy opportunity - say like a Samson - to push further apart the pillars of Trudeau's PC Temple, so as to bring on further chaos with no certainty of any real benefit.
" hmmm....do no harm.....best bet" he was thinking. Hence the pause.
So true to form he tasted the very potion he would consider offering as remedy for the ailment....."tread very very carefully when in a position of power, and don't make things worse"
Jason G I share that sentiment. Really pleased he didn't just slam Trudeau, which would have been so easy. But I believe that we need to respect the office of the PM, if not the person himself, because otherwise we undermine this democratic institution in the long run.
Even though my head hurts I could listen to him for hours. I really enjoy the Q&A sessions.
So thanks 👍
I feel like addressing a public gathering each time I listen to JP but when I get in front of three people, I lose all the vocabulary back to my original factory settings 😅
Keep practicing in your head what u want to state to your peers, it will come
look up Toastmasters, its a groupe from what I can make out that is there to hlp with such things..
Speak your truth with sincerity and conviction (but only if you have BOTH and are willing to face being countered ! ) Great things will come.
I actually learned my solution to this problem from Jordan Peterson,.. if you notice he never speaks before knowing exactly what he wants to say. even if it means 30 seconds of silence before, or even in the middle of, speaking.
most people, like me, begin to focus on that silence and are intimidated by the silence. but a long pause will empower your response, you have to bathe in the silence, really soak it in while clearly forming your thought.
learn how to be comfortable in uncomfortableness

The truth about Dr. Jordan Peterson is that, not only is he an intelligent, well-read, well-spoken, wise and knowledgeable man, he's also a good, decent, dignified, magnanimous and noble man. And his detractors, mostly if not all, lack most of those attributes and qualities, if not every single one of them.

kage level. jordan peterson is not teaching the truth. he is part of the plot against whites leading to their extinction. just look how he pushes individualism when whites are atomized and need to form together as a collective to fight back.
Lol keep it Nick you're helping Peterson fend off the lies about him being a white supremacist. lmao
Nick Halloway. Typical supremacist trash. As if the potential (and unlikely) loss of a skin tone from the gene pool will somehow ruin anything. You speak of "race" as if its anything other than a descriptor for a handful of physical traits. Get over yourself.
Kage Level you missed "inspiring" when describing Jordan Peterson.
Nobody's sucking him off man, I really think he can makes us improve our already good lives through our own job.
Man what a time to be alive, seeing Jordan Peterson in Hogwarts

How is this funny?

Jordan Peterson is one of those voices who will be remembered, for centuries to come, as one of a few who dared to speak out against this latest ideology from the left. He is a very wise man indeed and it was wonderful to sit down in my room and be able to listen to his fine ideas for helping making humanity what it would hopefully like to be. I always enjoy listening to this mans ideas and I cannot wait to buy his book 12 steps ... ... ... . Forgive me for forgetting the full title. I'm sure some bright person will correct me in the title anyway. I only found out about Jordan Peterson maybe a couple of months ago which says more about me as a person than I would like it to. I thought I was fairly intelligent until I began listening to this man speak. He has completely opened my mind to new ideas and I'm so grateful for that. I have enjoyed hearing his speak now so many times over the past 2 months and I look forward to reading his material and hearing him speak in the future.
With that said there are times when I need to break out the thesaurus to help me understand the meaning of some of what he means but I truly believe that's a great thing. I watched sit down between Peterson, Shapiro and Rubin? They were speaking about how they had found fame and both Peterson and Shapiro pointed to their putting down of these lefty snowflakes as the beginning of it for them. Shapiro slapped that lefty fool on Gun Controls, his name escapes me ATM.. The point I was trying to make is what Shapiro said, he said that people saw his interview on CNN? and they came to his speeches thinking he was that way all the time only to find that he was far deeper than that and they stayed for hours to listen. It just shows that people are starving for real discussion across our world but we have a set or group of people? yes let's all call them people..haha! These so called "people" who pull the strings of humanity are not interested in the concept of real and verifiable free speech. They are only interested in wielding power and the best way to do that is tribalism and political correctness. These ideas have fundamentally shifted our thinking and have in turn caused us to think before we speak. There's nothing wrong with thinking before u speak until it's used as a way to stifle debate/discussion.. I love his thinking on tribalism and the way he speaks on successful societies, and also his views on sacrificing the sovereign rights of individuals for the right of the state..
I could speak all day and I'm sure I don't understand everything he speaks on but that's down to me to educate myself better. This man makes me want to be better as a human being. I'm pretty sure he has that effect on many millions who watch his lectures, etc.
Thank you for this brilliant video
@Xeccelerator This comment is pretty resentful 😉
@Xeccelerator "if you at all smart"
Xeccelerator Go have a debate with him. He would teach you a thing or two. Your idiocy knows no bounds. Tapping away at your keyboard whilst all cosy in your mom’s basement.
I love this man and the deeper meanings he manifests based on true identification of the problems, not leaving things in fog or justifying emotional doctrines. JP is brilliant.
"The abstract territory of conceptual dispute is a substitute for war and death. And it can be a brutal substitute because conceptual disagreement can be very intense. But compared to war and death, its hardly intense at all." From a veteran of several warzones, thank you Jordan. I agree with this more then any other thing I can think of.
TangoXrayNiner very true, sir. No one knows until they know, then they wish they didn’t. Kids play games, actors make movies and millions watch them and feel they have insight into war. The only people who had insight in war, are those that didn’t watch or play “war”... No sir. They felt the indescribable awesomeness that permeates the air with the reality that lives are about to be lost, and changed forever. When close friends speak of tough times at their construction or office jobs I just listen, and am glad they really have no idea what a bad day at “work” really can be like for the people responsible for protecting your interests and ideals.
The biggest misunderstood optimistic person I know
He missunderstood? You mean misunderstood by his admirers?
He shouldn't be understood.
His ideas are misrepresented. "So what you are basically saying..." is often what he did not say.
He a teacher through and through.... the way he can talk to others as students or as fellow individuals that he genuinely wants to discuss with is really amazing.
Peterson has made me think again about a lot of issues. It's good to see a genuinely intelligent, decent individual influence young people.
Yeah people said the same about Hitler.
@@chancerystone4086 yeah except he's not inciting genocide so..
It is good you are thinking about things. It builds neuropathways and the more we build, the less likely we are to lose our minds in our old age.
I literally can watch anything JP puts out a million times and still learn something new!
Truth!
Me too. It’s my third viewing this lecture and every time, somethings bursts in my bubble.
not when its banned from the net
@Joseph Or maybe you’re a poor listener with an incurious mind.
@@ohwellwhateverr ooo did daddy Peterson teach you that word?
Have to say, Peterson is one of the most impressive speakers I've listened to. The ability to think on his feet and operate on so many levels. Severely underrated.
Apparently, you have extremely limited knowledge. THIS guy is a JOKE
What is he talking about?
The way his eyes are glistening with tears when the crowd is applauding at the beginning is so perfect and amazing.
Imagine knowing a truth and being hated for it and then a bunch of knowledgeable people appreciating you and your point of view.
He is a humble genius.
I hope open minded people appreciate everything he articulates.
I think it is also to do with the fact he is sitting in a glorious building in one of the most important learning institutions in history...
His humility is breathtaking.
"The abstract territory of conceptual dispute is a substitute for war and death." I can't even explain how deep and great this statement is.
As another great man, Churchill, put it.....far better to jaw jaw, than to war war.
It's a paraphrase of Whitehead: "The purpose of thinking is to let the ideas die instead of us dying."
Jordan Peterson is forcing me to think in high resolution.
SD 4:3 or die mofos!
hes done this for millions and thats what scares the left......#Freedom of speach
He didn’t force you to do shit, you choose to listen enough to his speech and knowledge, to the point of your instinct concluding, that since you don’t understand his words and /or don’t agree with, it has been CHOSEN within you to be annoyed to think in the matter you claim you were “forced” to do.
That or I misunderstood your comment
Fruitful Vine Farm -- He's so cruel. lol
This guy amazes me, he sat here and gave a speech from the start and then answered so many questions on varied subjects with no notes of any kind. Yet he was able to express so much and offer so many different terms to help us understand what he is both saying and actually meaning.
I'm gay
Thank you Oxford Union for letting Jordan speak. Too many higher education establishments blocking him out.

I actually searched for the transcript of the session online and downloaded it to fully comprehend at leisure the insights that he unveiled so eloquently. Thank you Mr Peterson.
This was one of his best performances I've seen. Brilliant stuff JBP ty.
The Q&A Was a real treat indeed.
This guy drags me up into a world of intellectual understanding which I would never be shown otherwise
Check out Alan Watts, very similar, different in a way as well but just as knowledgeable.
Ŕ⁶ŕþ⁶řŕr⁶
@Voja
Right you are. The way I put it is that Peterson gives me full permission think rationally. And leads the way in an inimitable, marvelous way.
I challenge anyone to show me someone anywhere in the world who is as smart as is Peterson. Not kidding.
His wisdom imparting potency is second only to the Bible. He’s pretty darn close to it. Again, not kidding or exaggerating. I truly sincerely found that to be very much the case.
Wish you all the best. 💙
@@ThatWeirdGirlSuri Not so similar.

I never listen to podcasts or talks. I think it just feels incredibly cheesy to do so. But watching Jordan's talks and listening to his podcasts just feels like a constant feed of learning going straight into my brain. It's incredible.
in 10 minutes Jordan has expanded my vocabulary and thoughts, more than 3 years of college has. Thank you.
all for free.
@They're Distorting Your Rhythm 128 dude jus shut up
College was made to contract you into a commie box 📦 They live
me too !
@They're Distorting Your Rhythm 128 What truth are you talking about?
50 years from now political science students Like me will be studying him.
Doubt it. The Left will ban him for thinking for himself.
Agree 100%. He will go down as one of the great minds of all time.
Hope
I agree totally. He is already transforming, updating, and restoring society. Thank god. By anyway you might mean by "god."
I very much doubt it
What I truly love about Jordan Peterson is that he is a true deep thinker. I have often seen him pause before responding - or even state that he will not respond to a question because he hasn’t yet thought it through completely. A good example in this video is his response to the very last question from the audience when he pauses for a tension-mounting 15-20 seconds ... before finally insightfully answering a question on how he would advise the current very politically correct Canadian Prime Minister on where he might be going wrong. Don’t leave this discussion without first checking it out at 1:09
Q and A sessions was fantastic, the exchange between the Asian student and Jordan Peterson was really one of the best examples I’ve seen of effectively reaching a common ground of mutual understanding regarding a contentious topic or issue. Hats off the the student for his articulation and open mindedness.
What a breath of fresh air to expert
ience a brave , honest and knowledgeable thinker in today's world, not to mention the civility, appreciativeness and alertness of the audience. Wished Mr. Pterson could tour in a few forbidden countries in Eastern Europe, Asia and the middle East. Thanks
JP is amazing!! I like what he tries to do on an individual level for people. I don't have to agree with him on every philosophy that does not make him a bad man. He's a good man, he has a great heart and I learn something everytime he speaks.
He never ceases to amaze me. As soon as I think I've heard everything he has to say he goes on an amazing rant I've never heard before.
Peterson proves humanity has a chance after all.
An address I don't get fed up with! Have watched it dozens of times and can watch it hundred times!❤
God has blessed us with some wonderful people to help us during these troubled times. Mr. Peterson is certainly one of them. Thank you. 🙏🏻❤️
@Les lots of great thinkers of today are beginning to say it is very likely that the universe is a simulation, how do you feel about that if you don't mind me asking?
@Les how is it that you acknowledge the ultimate truth. That ultimate Truth is "God". If there is no truth or God then what are we arguing?
Or he's a byproduct of random chance, either way he's great.
@@zerofox7347 I can answer that, like God, even though I'm an atheist, I'd say its impossible to know, so the idea of God or no God, or simulation or no simulation are probably agnostic questions, effectively the great thinkers are using maths to try and prove things without facts and assuming that it's more likely that a society advanced so far that we are a simulation, rather than assuming we are the first or discounting the idea we will be extinct before a society could be advanced enough to cone up with this simulation, or even the computing power to perform the simulation. Those people are just full of hubris and maybe should reconsider their status as "great thinkers"
Clarity over agreement always. Peterson is a rock star, I hope he is able to continue to handle the pressure.
His ability to articulate his thoughts objectively while building his argument factually puts him on an extraordinary level. More human than human, the best of us. Everyone should be listening.
this is something that he doesn't get enough credit for the sheer speed of his thought processes is astounding
A good attempt to using sophisticated language 😂 keep watching Peterson to improve tho
He
@@Lebronwski This entire comment section is hilarious because of this
It is widely believed by about 30% of the population that he is a radical right wing phony. You. An send these leftists a well answered question and as they pretend to have listened their confirmation bias stops them from listening to the question or answering the question. It’s scary to watch leftists deduce Jordan In such simple and misleading ways. It scares me how poorly our leftist friends have lost critical thinking at the hands of the universities.
I don't know how this video came across my playlist, but I watched it with rapt attention. I love how civil, unpretentious, and thoughtful the speaker is. Knowing your own fallacies and being humble is so much more important than being brash, egotistical, and ignorant, as so many in modern society are. Truly a breath of fresh air, that I wish so many people, including political leaders, would listen to. Like Ben Shapiro, but much more sedate and mature, and therefore palatable to people with opposing ideas. I would give him a double thumbs up, if I could!
Thomas Paine - "He who dares not offend cannot be honest"
Nice quote.
@Alex Winterborn you ok ?
@Alex Winterborn gibberish
"Be kind" is bullshit. Having this stupid idea that everyone and everything is wonderful is beyond naive. With that type of logic in play paedophiles deserve kindness, serial killers etc
How anyone can listen to a talk like this and then turn around and call JBP "alt-right" is beyond me. They are either extremely unintelligent or clearly bias.
its a lot of both.. very disingenuous they are
I think he just gets lazily lumped in with them because in today's polarized world if you criticize one side you are assumed to be on the other side.
This day and age, anyone that is left of centre are now labeled "alt-right".
He's a classical liberal. But for the left anything not-them is faschist.
I don't know if you were listening but he pretty much answered your question while answering to the lady. People don't like to think in high resolution when they have low resolution, but full of compassion, solution to the complicated problem.
It’s such a joy to hear common sense let’s hope these young people take it on board
Just where did you hear one word of common sense here? Are we even watching the same video? Are you smoked-up? Seriously, get a grip on reality

@@christopherg.8591 So what does common sense mean to you, Christopher?
I enjoyed you all very much. Thank you for sharing.
Peterson is one of the most brilliant minds of this generation. We need more great thinkers like him.
Several years ago I began watching his classroom lectures, Pinocchio then the Biblical series. And even then (prior to bill c16) it was obvious JP wasn't like 99% of the out of touch self-aggrandizing
Intellectuals who live and work in the safe and padded world of academia. I was so grateful to find a deep thinking professor at a prestigious university who's thoughts and values were, from my perspective, grounded in logic.
Modern day wise man of our age.
But he isn't as great as you think of him. None of his preached ideas are new, he just presents it in a more sophisticated manner. Even then, he also has some really bad takes that don't correspond to logical reasoning, but those takes get mixed up with some self-help tips so you take it for granted.
@@mofuker199 that’s why he’s important because people arnt getting it. Do you not see that?
