    This man is absolutely spot-on in regards to PTSD. It's not usually the combat itself, like they show in the movies, it's your failure to save a friend who died. It's things that tell you things you don't want to know about the world or yourself.

      @brienirving7573 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      ptsd in most cases is the feeling of shame or guilt, such as soldiers who kill people who didn't want to. But in other cultures like the japanese during the feudal era, the samurai thought killing and dying was a part of glory and everyday life, so the development of ptsd was not prevalent. This being the opposite of today for most cultures that raise people to not kill.or at least be ashamed of it. If you admit your ability to do certain things that otherwise would be thought to be "bad", you can free your mind of such guilt as peterson states.

    I have been a terrible person. I have used people as objects to fill my own needs and desires. I've fed people lies and false hope of something amazing, all the while knowing none of it would ever come to be. I was an all around disgusting piece of work.
    But with the help of some people, especially one in particular, who too had been wronged by me, I have been able to turn my life around and leave my awful behaviour behind me. It was through their help that I finally came to understand the person I was, and to despise my actions. It lead to an extremely strong need to get my shit together, to thrive to be a better person.
    I'm still working on it, and am nowhere close to being what an ideal person would be, but I'm hopeful that one day I'll get there.

      codebeard That is unfortunately very true. I have been consistently disappointed by how little proponents of Peterson actually understand him. A large portion, perhaps the majority, of his proponents are such merely and solely for the fact that Peterson opposes the overbearing aspects of LGBTQ+. These proponents' perspective doesnt extend further than a blind hatred of LGBTQ+ in its entirety, at face value. And as such they ascribe to and venerate Peterson's M.O. despite a severely lacking understanding of it, and they poison his name. Doesnt help youre case trying to prove that youre not a bigot when the neo nazis support you.

      You could consider it a blessing that you had this rude awakening. Many people live their whole life thinking they’re a good person, having no idea how ignorant they are and how fallacious this mentality is. I saw an interview once of a young adult who was describing all of his “bad deeds” - lying, stealing, treating people poorly etc. When the interviewer asked him if he was concerned about where he might end up in the afterlife, kid said “naw, I’m way too good of a person”. I also work with some people who have fairly negative reputations because of their attitudes and how they treat people, and they consider themselves to be good people (they have told me this). The ignorance/pride is painful to see/hear.

Now of course that you can suffer PTSD at any age but at the age of 40 you can deal with stressful situation better in certain situations that won't affect you like they would a child. For example an Adult male is for the most part an independent individual and as a result won't suffer a PTSD from being abandoned by his parents as one would if he was 7 years old.

      @Pippi Bernstein No, I disagree, children often times get defensive, dwell, lament and blame others for the event rather than cope healthily, especially if no one teaches them otherwise. Since a lot of people are good people for the sake of being good or for whatever other reason, the chances of that child coming upon guidance is high and they wouldn't stay a victim.
      What I've noticed is that I feel less reluctant to help out a child who is being mildly (key word, mildly) tramuatised due to the fact that I've accepted that everybody is a little tramuatised and that they'll eventually find a way to cope and be functioning members of society and even go so far as to find happiness and peace as many have had. Trauma is temporary.

    Being good doesn't benefit you in this world. Is what I learned in my life. It's a very dark and cold place we live in. But I still pushed trough my way. Zoro was my inspiration to never stop. It worked. I definitely picked the strongest character in the world. Life's pushing you? Push back harder or die trying! Don't look at what others do. Do what you think is right. Many people did try make a difference in the world. But most of them realized that their effords didn't benefit their own person. So they felt betrayed and took it all back, gave the people what they thought they deserved. The greatest challenge perhaps to overcome as a good person. Honest life is not easy. But if you don't go this path to the end, how do you expect the world to change? Somebody has got to break this loop. I chose to. I also felt I didn't get enough or nothing in return. But I realized and said to myself "I'll be me, I choose not to be like them". Be you, not by looking at others!

    The mindset of The Crowd. It brings out our lowest instincts. Suppresses our conscious thought and makes us feel part of a group. It takes discipline to resist. We all fall victim to it, but sometimes it matters more than other times, as it did with those German soldiers. I guess focus on what is good and discipline ourselves to resist the crowd mindset. I suspect that doing the latter is easier than knowing the former.

      Charles - it happened over happened 2000 years ago - depending on what happens in the next 2000 years there might be debates among historians about whether Martin Luther King junior was part of the narrative or not; or Ghandi or John F.Kennedy or anyone of importance.
      The point is that our thinking amounts from thousands of years of retold stories originating well before the birth of Christ.
      I'm intellectually past the point of rationalizing my understanding of it or explaining it to other people. It would be like explaining why I love my parents and grandparents. The connection is inexplicable.

      @Jay Snowden: Thats because they go on the basis that the bible/gospels are an accurate source of historicity, other than than that there is practically little evidence. Some scholars who care might be Christian which also explains why the majority agree he exists, oh and they won't want to piss off Christians by claiming their superhero doesn't exist. There is more evidence for Hercules being real than Jesus and I think most would agree hercules isn't real. If I was to say Jesus is real I would say he was most likely a cult leader that had his teaching spread through stories inflated by his followers. Its really hard to prove/disprove the existence of Jesus when all you have to go on is minor questionable references and religous books, but there are some pretty good arguments for disproving he exists.

      Yes my friend I see things that way too. When I imagine a life lived wholly on rationality, it hits me that that life would be utterly mundane and meaningless. Peterson talks about this a lot in his lectures on Dostoevsky. A rational reduction of life being reduced to statistics and numbers makes me yearn for meaning beyond a simply rational life If I ever take a moment to ponder things that way. I believe that this is where Christ's message begins in a way.

    I have been looking for a lecture by JP that is very similar to this where he goes more deeply into the concept of people only being good because they don't really have the opportunity to be truly bad. I can't find it. I imagine that it was part of a larger lecture. I'm beginning to wonder if it doesn't actually exist and I'm just pulling together strands from lots of different lectures. If anyone knows the one I'm talking about, I would appreciate it if you could point me to it.

Is there a way to know how much trauma, stress etc. one's brain could take before it becomes self- destructive.

    I wonder what Peterson does for fun. Does he ever have fun? Maybe this is fun for him. Just try to picture him going to a beach resort or a cruise and getting shitfaced. Imagine Proffessor Peterson hammered on a cruise, walking around in his bathing suit just harrassing everyone on the boat. Every harrassment is then followed by a 45 min existential lecture that he half slurs but still gets the point crystal clear.

    Total depravity is a phrase or name that is used to summarize what the Bible teaches about the spiritual condition of fallen man. It is the “T” in the acronym TULIP, which is commonly used to enumerate what are known as the five points of Calvinism or the doctrines of grace. Because the name “total depravity” can cause people to have wrong ideas about what is meant, some people prefer to use terms like “total inability,” “righteous incapability,” “radical corruption” or even “moral inability.” Yet what is important is not the name assigned to the doctrine but how accurately the doctrine summarizes what the Bible teaches about the spiritual condition of fallen man. No matter which name you use to refer to “total depravity,” the fact remains that when properly understood it is an accurate description of what the Bible does teach on this important subject.
    While often misunderstood, the doctrine of total depravity is an acknowledgement that the Bible teaches that as a result of the fall of man (Genesis 3:6) every part of man-his mind, will, emotions and flesh-have been corrupted by sin. In other words, sin affects all areas of our being including who we are and what we do. It penetrates to the very core of our being so that everything is tainted by sin and “…all our righteous acts are like filthy rags” before a holy God (Isaiah 64:6). It acknowledges that the Bible teaches that we sin because we are sinners by nature. Or, as Jesus says, “So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.” (Matthew 7:17-18).
    The total depravity of man is seen throughout the Bible. Man’s heart is “deceitful and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). The Bible also teaches us that man is born dead in transgression and sin (Psalm 51:5, Psalm 58:3, Ephesians 2:1-5). The Bible teaches that because unregenerate man is “dead in transgressions” (Ephesians 2:5), he is held captive by a love for sin (John 3:19; John 8:34) so that he will not seek God (Romans 3:10-11) because he loves the darkness (John 3:19) and does not understand the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:14). Therefore, men suppress the truth of God in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18) and continue to willfully live in sin. Because they are totally depraved, this sinful lifestyle seems right to men (Proverbs 14:12) so they reject the gospel of Christ as foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:18) and their mind is “hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is unable to do so” (Romans 8:7).
    The Apostle Paul summarizes the total depravity of man in Romans 3:9-18. He begins this passage by saying that “both Jews and Greeks are all under sin.” Simply put, this means that man is under the control of sin or is controlled by his sin nature (his natural tendency to sin). The fact that unregenerate people are controlled by their selfish, sinful tendencies should not come as a surprise to any parent. What parent has to teach his or her child to be selfish, to covet what someone else has or to lie? Those actions come naturally from the child’s sin nature. Instead, the parent must devote much time to teaching the child the importance of telling the truth, of sharing instead of being selfish, of obeying instead of rebelling, etc.
    Then in the rest of this passage Paul quotes extensively from the Old Testament in explaining how sinful man really is. For example, we see that 1-no one is without sin, 2-no one seeks after God, 3-there is no one who is good, 4-their speech is corrupted by sin, 5-their actions are corrupted by sin, and 6-above all, they have no fear of God. So, when one considers even these few verses, it becomes abundantly clear the Bible does indeed teach that fallen man is “totally depraved,” because sin affects all of him including his mind, will and emotions so that “there is none who does good, no not one” (Romans 3:12).
    There is a common misconception regarding total depravity. Total depravity does not mean that man is as wicked or sinful as he could be, nor does it mean that man is without a conscience or any sense of right or wrong. Neither does it mean that man does not or cannot do things that seem to be good when viewed from a human perspective or measured against a human standard. It does not even mean that man cannot do things that seem to conform outwardly to the law of God. What the Bible does teach and what total depravity does recognize is that even the “good” things man does are tainted by sin because they are not done for the glory of God and out of faith in Him (Romans 14:23; Hebrews 11:6). While man looks upon the outward acts and judges them to be good, God looks upon not only the outward acts but also the inward motives that lie behind them, and because they proceed from a heart that is in rebellion against Him and they are not done for His glory, even these good deeds are like “filthy rags” in His sight. In other words, fallen man’s good deeds are motivated not by a desire to please God but by our own self-interest and are thus corrupted to the point where God declares that there is “no one who does good, no not one!”
    Since Scripture is very clear that all of man is affected by sin and so much so that “no one seeks after God,” then how can anyone possibly become a Christian? The answer is that God must overcome man’s depravity in such a way that man is able to recognize his spiritual state and his hopeless condition apart from the grace of God. Man’s spiritually blind eyes must be open and the bondage of sin that renders him hopelessly enslaved must be broken so that he can respond in faith to the gospel message and the atoning work of Christ on the cross. Some Christians believe that God accomplishes this through some type of universal grace whereby God brings man to a condition where he has the ability to choose or reject Him. Others believe that for a man who is “dead in trespasses and sins” to be able to understand and respond to the gospel in faith, he must first be born again or regenerated by the Holy Spirit (John 3:3). It is only after God infuses spiritual life into a dead sinner that he can “see the kingdom of God.” Those that hold this view see this as being a sovereign act of God, whereby men are born again “not of the blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12-13).
    However, even when the doctrine of total depravity is properly understood, many people will reject the doctrine, but that fact should not surprise us, since the world generally thinks of man as being basically good. Therefore, the idea that man by nature is a depraved sinner runs contrary to most modern religious, psychological and philosophical views of the basic nature of man. But the fact is that the Bible does teach the depravity of the human heart, and the root cause of man’s problem is not the environment he is raised in but his wicked and selfish heart. Properly understood, the doctrine of total depravity will destroy the hopes of those who place their faith in any type of works-based system of salvation and will recognize that God’s sovereign grace is man’s only hope. While the doctrine of total depravity destroys man’s self-righteousness and any misconceptions about man’s ability to be saved through his own free will, it leaves one asking the same question the disciples asked of Jesus in Matthew 19:25-26: “Then who can be saved?” Of course the answer remains the same: “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:25-26).

      Most of us like to think we are one of the good guys, and relatively most of us probably are. But it doesn’t mean we don’t have evil lurking in the shadows. If left unchecked we can surprise ourselves by our own impulses even if it’s as ‘minor’ as rude words, evil thoughts, wishing karma on someone, or being unkind to a spouse or parent or child. We are not 💯 good. But we aren’t graded on a sliding scale. And it’s not based on if we are better or worse than so and so.

    Something very creepy about his way of speaking and his body posture when he talks about it. Still a pretty good lecture, although there is a good deal of individual difference between people when it comes to how much on a evil side they have. Usually by giving people power and an ability to get away with what they do is how you find out how evil they really are. If they enjoy abusing the power when they can it is very clear what they are deep down. However if they are still caring and just when they hold all the cards, I would characterize then as a good person. These people however are surprisingly rare...

    Y'know what I say? Objectively there's no Morales. Not even one, and why would I say this you're probably wondering right now, and to explain this put your eyes in a hunters shoes. Most hunters don't really care for taking an Animals life, and understandably so, it would be very detrimental to the individual to second guess the decision to throw the spear at the Bison because it's morally wrong. If it wasn't biologically necessary to eat Animals and for some reason it was evolutionary advantageous to not kill animals as a society it would be pledged that killing Animals is morally wrong and if you do so, you're a lesser human being, worthy of punishment; seem familiar? But for us it's actually advantageous to kill animals and eat them, and hunters don't really receive to much criticism for doing so. But you know what is advantageous to humans? Not killing your neighbor. As it would be very detrimental to society if you think one morning "I think I may kill my neighbor today" (psychopaths/sociopaths are capable of thinking this way, and not coincidentally they lack Compassion.) and thus we have Compassion. Compassion is what drives most if not all of our Morales, and without it our Morales we consider objective wouldn't be perceived as objective. Meaning I don't believe there's any truly objective Morales as it's a construct that we created.
    I am not saying to kill your neighbor because there's no Morales, I'm showing you just how much our unconscious mind controls our decisions. I believe you shouldn't mentally or physically harm anybody for no good reason because my compassion says so, but to function in society i'm glad I have it, and because i'm not a Psychopath or Sociopath, I'm glad I don't wish to kill my neighbor.

    He totally misunderstands PTSD. PTSD isn't just about not having known your capabilities. So naive. Jordan is great, but we need to apply critical thinking to his views too... I find he is so confident in his delivery and sounds articulate, that we tend to over-estimate some of his understandings on certain issues.

    • @omrixeren
      @omrixeren 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You might be underestimating his understanding on this issue though. Maybe what he's saying just wasn't reflected in your experience\study on PTSD so you feel like he's misinformed? PTSD patients vary widely. He said "ONE of the things that characterise people who develop PTSD". You turned it into "just" that. I'm guessing you have some experience with PTSD and i won't argue with that, just make sure you're not being overly defensive of something just because you have a lot of experience with it. I'm not saying you're wrong or that he's right, and we definitely need to apply critical thinking to anything we hear, but it seems to me you are not really in a place of judging his idea, since you misunderstood "one of the things" as "the thing". In other words, you changed his idea and then disagreed. Can you prove PTSD has no correlation with not being aware of your capabilities? I can't tell you anything for sure, but i do believe Jordan has many explanations and reasons behind his idea, as he usually does for everything he says. He's known for debating stuff to the core, and i'm sure he'll have a lot to explain if you challenged him with your comment.

    The Nazi’s really felt freedom from leaving their compassion. Being compassionate makes you feel guilty and makes you reconsider things. Compassion makes you almost feel like you wish you were always doing more for people, it’s a little painful, sometimes very painful.
    Empathy and sadness VS Angry and Happiness. I really do think people are happier when they have more of an angry personality it’s like the emotions for angry and happiness are more closely neurological linked. I tried changing my emotional state to make myself happier once, but it made me feel too many emotions all at once. It made me more depressed and in pain. It was only when I looked outside of myself and look at myself more objectively that I became more peaceful.
