And it is sad that the actual resources required to put someone into education is nowhere near the thousands, yet the education system acts more like a business than an entity tasked with giving future generations the skills to advance society
"College of the air" was how PBS was touted. Now "Says Me Street" is one way load of liberal bull roar, and that is the subliminal one. Save the baby seals, and ...all commie propaganda, in high tones.
Rock Zalt It is amazing. What I would say is lacking though, is the condition (so the order we’re giving it....) can have a wild impact on how we perceive it. (I don’t know some of the terms around 4/5th the way threw for example..Ect ect)
@@xxcelr8rs , so you equate being against beating baby seals to death with clubs with totalitarian forms of government? If anything, supporting cruelty shows lack of empathy or even the type of psychopathy required to be a leader in a totalitarian system. So whatever your politics, it's probably a good idea you're not in charge.
Being able to integrate philosophy, psychology, history and politics into a coherent lecture that not only acknowledges objective reality but also accounts for subjective influences such as morals and concepts is not an easy thing to do. And to make it compelling and accessible makes this all the more fantastic. Wonderful!
Israel is more powerful, in relation to it's surrounding enemies than Germany was, yet they don't swarm in and destroy these enemies, or better yet just nuke them. So how is Israel like nazi Germany?
Joe Gray I like how he stops to think and it looks like his face is getting red and he puts his hands over himself and his temple. He's just a computer of knowledge I feel.
I've been a student my entire life. I found Jordan's Peterson's lectures last year, and I've already learned so many things that I should've been taught in school.
We live in a time where we literally have Jordan Peterson on a pausable/rewindable portable screen FREE OF CHARGE lil JP in your pocket 24/7 What a time to be alive
I'd presume it's more to do with the social and job security aspects of his life that makes him allergic to even entertaining the subjects. He's plenty self-honest and smart enough to figure it out. But you're essentially asking him to ruin his life for little to no good he could do. He'd be a demonized outcast inside two days and all his good works banned. If he gets people on the reason over emotion train, many of them will eventually reach where we are.
insane hermit are you dumb? The man abhors globalists. He is about self responsibility. Those aren’t left wing global ideas. He believes religion is important. Sounds pretty conservative to me.
Виктор Where? In Canada? Clapping after a professor’s lecture should be discouraged. Wouldn’t professors begin to expect applause and then wouldn’t students begin to feel obligated to clap? They aren’t rock stars you know, they are teachers.
@@jennymisteqq695 It's now a strange world. When I attended lectures in the 70's, there was no clapping. Jordan Peterson has become a demi- god, perhaps he was viewed as a celebrity rather than a professor. I can't remember why I gave it a thumbs down, but since he talks about National Socialism, I suspect he repeated the tired old lie about the concentration camps.
I think this has to be the best lecture I've seen of his. His energy levels are on point. He covers a broad range of topics but keeps it tied together. Just 80 minutes of excellence.
Boris B That's not an example. That's an observation on how some people draw conclusions from little to no real evidence. You just slotted Peterson into that group of people and not assert that it must be true because Feynman is a high profile source. It's an appeal to authority. Human behaviour is not an exact science. Ten different people can respond in different ways to the exact same stimuli and, unless one has previous information on the personality traits of each individual, one can't know what their response will be. Instead, you make observations and try to establish trends in behaviour and try to find why these behaviours are the same and different. That's all that social sciences can do. Peterson has talked about male and female traits and has referred to statistics that show trends in their respective behaviours which overlap and differ. It's not an exact science because one can't accurately predict how a specific person will behave. One can make assumptions on statistical traits that have been extensively observed, but that's as far as one can go. That's not pseudo-science if you declare the inaccuracy rates and acknowledge the limitations of you data. Another example is how a doctor can predict death rates of an outbreak of a disease by saying the approximate percentage of those who will die. They'll base it on data gathered from previous outbreaks. It gives a ballpark figure, but one can't really know for sure. There is always room for error when your only source is data and variables are so varied that all can't be accounted for in a prediction. Now, back to a solid example of Peterson's preaching. One that refers to Peterson.
Boris B Your reference to Feynman was an appeal to authority. He's a very high profile scientific figure and his opinions carry weight. It's not as if you used Joe Blow down at the hardware store. You went to a Nobel Prize physicist who gave an opinion, then you placed Peterson into the category that this physicist talked about. That's the very definition of an appeal to authority. "I've thought about this for many years, and, though it's very hard to explain, I really believe it's true" What's this? A professor is NEVER allowed to give an opinion? He even implies that it's an idea that he's formulated. "I really believe it's true." That's not declaring it as fact. That's admitting that it's only him that believes it to be true. He does use statistics but he uses them as they should be. He has used them to show how personality trends differ in men and women. For example, he talked about asking, about a random woman and random man, which of the two would be the more aggressive and if you picked the man, you'd be correct 60 percent of the time. Then he added that 40 percent of the time, you'd be wrong. Why? Because that aligns with the statistical data. He didn't definitely say that men are more aggressive, period and end of story. He said that an assertion could only be applied correctly, 60 percent of the time. He then uses it to say that it means that the outliers of aggressiveness would tend to be overwhelmingly male and says that the facts do bear this out, for example, the predominance of the male population in prison. Peterson has declared himself to be a nominal Christian but he doesn't use those Christian beliefs as absolutes in his lectures. He uses them to show religious archetypes and tries to show how archetypes are developed in literature and religion to reflect and explain how humans have developed emotionally. He uses Christianity the most because that's what he's most familiar with, but he also uses other religious idea in his attempt to understand human psychological development. He presents it in such a way that a belief in a specific religion is necessary to understand how religious thought was a big part of human evolution of cognitive thought. Religious beliefs are not necessary to understand his ideas of archetypes in religion and it's not an exact science because he does use the phrase "I've thought about it a long time" continuously in his lectures. Psychology is a work in progress at all times and those in the field are trying to grapple with things that are difficult to nail down. Peterson is grappling with the psychology of religion and morality. There are no "Eureka!!!" moments in these disciplines. No definitive test tube results. There are indicators, like the Miller-Urey experiments that show that certain processes in the formation of life CAN happen naturally. It may not be the correct process but it does show the possibility to be true. You still haven't shown me an example of his preaching. Just because he became emotional when remembered some of the horrific cases that he's dealt with from his clinical practice, doesn't mean he's a preacher. It could just mean that he's human and has typical human emotions. It's an assertion that you have no way of proving but you like it because you've decided that you don't like the guy. Understandable maybe, but not exactly a valid assertion. A real example of his preaching. I like Michael Shermer and his ideas, a lot, but you're not showing me how they apply to Peterson. You see, that's where an actual example of what you're claiming would come in. That's how you show that you have something that might indicate what you say has a least some merit. It may not eliminate ALL that he's said but then again, no one is correct 100 percent of the time. One incorrect idea doesn't NOT invalidate everything a person says. We'd have to dismiss every assertion made using that as a criteria. Even Einstein made mistakes and offered claims that proved to be incorrect.
Salvatore Scavuuzo:Right, well that’s part of the reason for his popularity and majorly positive feedback in response to his lectures as a professor. Peterson is highly verbally intelligent with an intellectual quotient of about 150 which he had scored on the weschler spectrum, in intelligence, meaning in laymen’s terms that he’s about what most people would call a genius. As difficult as the principles are for him to articulate in his teachings, he does so because they’re vastly more important principles to be taught and understood by practically every individual the world over.
I chuckled. But anyhow, from what I understand the reason why he drinks so much diet coke is that he cuts sugar froms his diet. Depression runs deep in his family and cuting all sugars, like all of them, including cereals (he also cuts diary and other things), helps him apparently. But you can't just go cold turkey because your brain is acustomed to sweetness (there is a distinct satiety neuron circuit for sweet food). Hence the diet coke. Well, at least I'm sure about these facts but I can only guess that is the reason.
In 1000 years it will be called the Soda Can effect. How Jordan Peterson pausing to open the Coke, led to a 300 year Communist Dystopia and extinction of the Butterfly.
I absolutely love and respect and look up to Mr. Peterson. I've been in a really bad downward spiral due to depression..job loss..might lose my own best/closest friend. But I'm trying to keep a head up, and his lectures and speeches have helped so much.
At age 75, most of my intellectual heroes are dead!! Jordan Petersen revives my understanding!! He gets the intellect cooking which is at the hight of ones expectation!!
Cant you please list a few of those of your intelectual heroes? thank you. It would be interesting for me to take a look at their ideas, knowing that you enjoy hearing Dr. J. B. Peterson's lectures.
@@manusolorio1725 Dr. Peterson mentions his picks for a reading list a lot. Aleksandr Soljenitsyne, Carl Jung, and Soren Kierkegaard, etc. I'm sure that he has a recommended reading list on his web site.
@@stephenslusser2895 Yes, thank you Stephen, I'm aware of that list. I jist wanted to find out if there is someone in Richard's heroes list from our modern days.. I'm looking for modern thinkers/philosophers whom can express themselves, theiir own ideas in their own ways, as articulate and fluent as Mr. peterson does. It would be great if you guys can recomend someone.
@@manusolorio1725 Dr. Thomas Sowell is great, and he has a lot of sensible things to say in these crazy times. But I don't think that there is anyone living, that can hang with Dr. Peterson.
I can’t really recall another time when I’ve been in fully rapt attention on a complicated intellectual level for over an hour. In addition to his numerous other wonderful qualities, what a simply incredible and amazingly talented lecturer he is. I can’t imagine how much I would have learned and enjoyed from school if I had teachers like him. What an inspiration.
The most recent update from Jordan (being interviewed by his daughter) seems to indicate that his physical and mental health is slowly improving after a long struggle with family stress, extreme anxiety, and his own difficulties in detoxing from benzos. Good news, but by no means is the man at 100%. Prayers and happy thoughts to Jordan, his wife and kids, et. al.
Detoxing from those drugs is no fucking joke. Luckily I was only on them for a few months but coming down was awful. You know that feeling when you’ve been awake for more then 24 hours? That’s what it feels like for days.
You are all actually just trolling him. You guys gotta find something petty to be glorified in your hatred of the man itself This guy left a good legacy in his name that's more than most of you have.
@@kingofgotham417 i know right, doctors assure these drugs are safe and even though jordan may be smart, he just trusted the doctors. thats a lot different from abusing drugs for the hell of it. if there is anything to be learned from it, its that a touch of skepticism is often good, even when you are being skeptical of experts who claim to know whats good for you
I've been aware for awhile of the theory of physicists, that objects exist only when we look at them, but I have never been able to get my mind around the idea until Peterson explained it. I'm probably of average intelligence, but anything past basic physics has always been very difficult for me to understand, though I very much want to understand. It's amazing to me that a psychology professor put it into terms I can understand. It's just awesome.
Yes!! That argument actually effected me in a profound way. I've always had the "objects are real" perception since I can remember. Blows my mind how he could change something I thought was so default. And how something like that could itself change. Profound!
He is a Gemini... I just wish he would have someone to help him protect his nervous energy, he is burning his candle in both ends. If he is in fact drinking Coca Cola, I am sad and worried, for he needs to KEEP his nutrients for his fantastic mind in body to have energy enough.
"It figures that it'd be the damned jellyfish that would be immortal." Lost it here, lol. He's brilliantly funny, which is often not timed well with people's sense of humor.
I'm so glad Cathy Newman did that interview with you. I now listen to tons of your lectures, thanks to that stupid L O B S T E R meme. I don't know if I would be the person I am today if it weren't for your amazing videos and book.
His popularity began even before that channel 4 Desaster. It was his stance against bill c16, for which he got notoriously known by the leftists and also by the media.
Anton Lampe The leftist agenda only succeeds in radicalizing the ‘normies’. I never cared about politics...let alone listening to someone like Peterson until the explosion of the main stream alt-left during Trump’s campaign. I voted for Obama. Boy did the leftists succeed in making sure I NEVER vote democrat again and I thank them for driving me towards people like Peterson, I’ve developed personally in a way that I never though I would just a few years ago!
I am just sorry for the students. How is anyone able to take a single note from Petersons lectures? They are amazing. No doubt about that. How he lays down and connects really complicated questions is absolutely fascinating. I just wonder if he is doing this every day for several hours. This passion and energy what he puts into his lectures is unbelivable.
Which marxism are we talking about? The right wing marxist derivate in the Soviet Union that ran more like totalitarian state capitalism? Or the actual marxist doctrine that states "for each according to his ability to each according to his need." Trotsky was more marxist then any one of those phonys in Soviet Russia and the exiled his ass. I'm no fan of phony marxism that kills 100 million people. But I am also not fond of people shaping narratives as they see fit with lack of historical knowledge. 💯

While Free-Speech is incredibly important, in fact it's a fundamental necessity for society, however calling all Jewish people Marxists/Communists sounds far too similar to the words of Hitler himself, so I think you should be careful where your information is coming from, otherwise you may be manipulated further.
Also, Peterson is a moderate -conservative or even a centrist who leans slightly more to the right. Trust me, if you watch enough of his content you'll realise that, but remember to always good your own beliefs, NEVER let anybody brainwash or manipulate you.
@@nwchrista Judaism is communism.... 😂... The Judea-Christian society is fundamentally individual based. Your characterization of him is a straw man when regarding his alt right views. Explain alt right? Can you explain alt left
nature itself No one (more or less) talks about the communist death camps because most of academia is left wing and is unhappy that the Soviets didn’t create a workers paradise... or the Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Cubans, Zimbabweans, Angolans or Ethiopians. Instead of asking if the ideology is wrong, they come up with various copes; “it wasn’t real communism”, “its a good idea in theory”, “communists helped defeat/ weren’t as bad as the Nazis”, or they lie by omission. Another reason we don’t hear about the communist death camps is because the bandwidth is full of talking about the Nazi ones. I don’t have enough fingers or toes to count the number of times the Holocaust came up on the (UK) curriculum. There was that one time in year 8 English we read Animal farm, based on the Russian revolution. Our GCSE history teachers had the option to teach us about the Soviet Union, so instead we were taught Nazi Germany and the “failure of capitalism” (thank god I’ve now heard about the Austrian school of Econ) that was 1929. Education and academia are a disgrace.
@@smilypsyrus3251 I'm sorry. But exploiting human life for labour is arguably worse than being sentence to a much quicker death by gas or heat. To slowly die over the course of 5 years to starvation and brutal physical exertion is probably worse than relieving the suffering of an individual entirely in the span of even a painful 5 minutes.
I had epilepsy when i was 15 for about two weeks, just out of the blue. Turned out i had a brain tumor today i'm 30 years old alcoholic and going to rehab next week. Thanks to Jordan he gave me the strenght and understanding to be responsible.
And just like he said in the lecture, your decision to be responsible is positively affecting all the people you come in contact with, in a much bigger way than you may ever see. I've given up the boose too, a long time ago, and I haven't regretted it one day. In fact it's the very thing that saved my life. Good luck brother and God speed. Always remember, you have way more influence than you know. People are always watching.
In the times of Nietzsche, and before, bodily being was more or less bracketed from philosophy. It's in this context only we should understood him. The situation has changed completely. Though from the deepest dimensions of my body, there's not much wisdom in my shit, however.
Probably one of the most important lectures I’ve listened to. I don’t know if you would ever see this Jordan but your work isn’t for not. It’s really helped my life. I also find it so cool that I am essentially going to college and learning about things that matter. I attended college for a bit but stopped because I got bored, had personal issues, and got irritated with leftist ideas being pushed.
I'm not rich and went to community college. I'm deeply emotional and borderline bi polar and Professor Peterson has changed my life. I feel like I can educate myself to be aware of my most ancient instincts and habits that control my mind and combat them and stand a fighting chance thanks to people like Jordan Peterson and the easy access to his thoughts by using TH-cam.
Don't knock Community College to yourself....I know three, no four very intelligent and well educated persons who started there....one became a Professor and the Dean of Admission at a famous New England college that has been called "harder to get in than Harvard" ! Another became a Col.in the US Army, then an English teacher after retirement in an elite military prep-school...another became a psychiatric R.N. after having taught young children.... Her father was raised in such poverty that he had no running hot water, bathtub nor shower until he was in junior high school, but he graduated from U.C. Berkeley, was Phi Beta Kappa, got his Master's degree at Berkeley.was accepted into Doctoral program, became an executive in famous West Coast, then New England, newspapers ! Community College can be the start of deep education!
Hey... don't feel badly for going to a community College, it's actually financially smarter... Get the first two years knocked out at a lower cost school and then transfer into a formal brink and morter University. Basically, only receive an expensive two year tab not four...
Well done mr Mcnasty..TH-cam has plenty of amazing teachers...Charlie Munger, Ray Dalio, Dr Peterson< ..and in my opinion ,,on the top of the list is Lee Kuan Yew..whose Ideas are very Similar To Dr Petersons..
Jordan is a hell of a teacher.. his telling of history.. really any topic is always interesting. His heart and soul are into it and his animated. I can listen to him for hours. I’d rather listen to him and learn than listen to music.
35:35 "Sometimes when you tear something down, even if you think it's terrible, you end up constructing something on its ruins that makes the previous 'terrible' look like the work of rank amateurs." - JP Nicely said, sir. We need you now, more than ever.

ALFox - we’re in an actual war of ideas right now, in a country where, I fear, the majority of people don’t even know that it’s happening. I’m scared. Many institutions have fallen (though it may not be apparent, externally) to internal cultures that are based on towing a strict line of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)... whereby the internal meritocracy of the organization is being slowly replaced by intersectionality as its guiding force. This all seems rather benign to most, until they realize that the fabric of western civilization (equality of opportunity, meritocracy, democracy) is being systematically replaced by identity politics - in which people are placed in positions based on their color, gender, or sexual orientation. Watch Melanie Phillips’ interview with John Anderson (on youtube) - this is a slow, methodical, evolution of Marxism and it’s horrifying in how pervasive it’s become, how few people identify it as such (it’s a very complicated idea to convey), and how many people actually do agree with it. To SJWs, the world is simply about power: the power your group holds over another, or in the social currency (pity) you can generate by showing how oppressed your group has been over the ages (and thus the amount of power they should now be entitled to wield as some sort of social reparation for previous oppression). But what group, obsessed with power, that then obtains said control ever gave it up? Nor will they.
@@cecilcharlesofficial yes I grasp what your saying and it's the conclusion I was coming to just not so eloquent as yourself. It feels like every group fighting for equality doesn't really want to be treated equal, they want more from from people that had/have nothing to do with wronging them in the first place. I'm in Canada 🇨🇦 and lucky so far but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. You know, I never saw colour until colour saw me.
I can honestly say that I discovered Jordan Peterson by trying to find a reason to live. Not through politics. But by searching for meaning through faith in God. And I found his biblical series.
I’ve never really thought about that, but now that you’ve inspired me, I would really like to know how his tests were set up. I’ve watched so many of his maps and meaning lectures that I feel like however it was set up I could pass the exam at this point 😂
yep. i'm a sam harris, richard dawkins and christopher hitchens fan. but i see now they have missed the mark a little bit. i now see the importance of religion as an accumulation and distillation of lessons about how to live a successful life in a human evolved society. i still don't believe in god, but i now understand and appreciate the accumulation of this essential knowledge. kicking myself i didn't realise this earlier. it seems so obvious. and JP is the only person who has articulated this for me. he should be more popular.

it's late, I have work early in the morning, but yet I am watching this! I can listen to Jordan Petersen for hours. He is, if not the most interesting man, then one of the most interesting men alive today!
Imagine being in school and seeing a lecture so great that at the end, you and your classmates came to the independent conclusion you felt the need to clap. That's the greatness of Jordan Peterson.
I don't want to negate the value of the lecture but a few minor mistakes bother me: Hitler applied for the Vienna Academy not after World War I but years earlier. Hitler left Austria before quite a while before the war, dodging the Austrian military service. In 1914 he volunteered in Bavaria (as he wanted to fight for Germany not for the Austrian monarchy he detested). After the war he immediately went into politics, never returning to Austria until 1938. Also, Hitler never was "elected with a landslide majority". Even in the March 1933 elections, which were no longer fully free. His party didn't achieve a majority (though they were the largest party). Even his coalition government only barely scratched the 50% He then bullied parliament into handing the government legislative powers, which he used to do away with any remains of democracy.
@@mattiOTX they removed power after the elections. 1932 elections Hitler was second with 30 % of the vote. 1933 elections that were rigged, the Nazi only got 40%. Hitler pushed himself into power. It was no landslide "Paul von Hindenburg Independent 18,651,497 49.6 19,359,983 53.0 Adolf Hitler Nazi Party 11,339,446 30.1 13,418,547 36.8 Ernst Thälmann Communist Party 4,938,341 13.2 3,706,759 10.2""
@st r >> There are books and articles that claim Hitler won by a "landslide majority." Dr Thomas Sowell is the first time I read that Hitler won by a plurality of votes, not a majority landslide. Wonder why that distinction isn't made by different authors? I thought he applied, again. to the Vienna Academy after WW1? A very brief attempt as he started to attend the beer hall meetings and quickly became a sought after speaker. However, very few authors have ever asked what was being taught in the German universities at the time, considered the most educated country in the world then.
DrBDiesel Frenzy Peterson himself would admit he’s not perfect. I don’t see any harm in politely mentioning possible oversights in knowledge on a specific topic. In another lecture about the lunacy of Global Warming, Peterson has said that a wooly mammoth was found frozen in Russia with undigested food in its mouth (which has HUGE implications) but that was incorrect . I’ve read the actual report from the scientists that discovered it and there is no mention of ANY undigested food. That invalidates a possible flash freeze and is a MAJOR factual oversight . Otherwise, I feel he is a brilliant man with an amazing sense of understanding.
The story from 20:27 to 24:19 is absolutely mind blowing. And it makes total sense despite being utterly absurd--because we know how children figure life out by meeting adults' expectations. We've all been like that.
The lecture is started with a talk about Solzhenitsyn, Jung and Nazi Germany, but during the second half it goes down to theoritization around Coca-Cola aluminum can. Wow...

Good morning Mr Peterson. Just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for my wife, my two children and I. You have had such a dramatic impact on our lives. You will go down in history as not only the smartest man who ever lived but also someone who had more wisdom then Could Be Imagined. My wife and I are both X addicts and I am an ex-con. Since getting to know you, educating ourselves with all of your videos, reading your books drastically changed our lives we're both small business owners and thriving better than people we once envied. Sorry for the bad grammar if there is any. I think it's important when sending someone like you a message that you make it is grammatically correct as possible out of respect but I'm messaging you from a cell phone and it's hard to go over what I've already wrote. I'd like to know there's a possible way that you could start some kind of online sort of college courses that we could pay for and go to couple times of week I know for myself that would be worth all the money in the world, just based on what I've learned already from you. I wish you and your family a blessed and Healthy Future God bless.
Peterson isn’t the smartest man to have ever lived and won’t go down in history as such, furthermore what makes you think that the smartest man to ever live could teach you multiple highly valuable things which you would actually use to transform your life for the better, it’s like, no. Now this isn’t to say that Peterson isn’t intelligent, because he’s extraordinarily intelligent, but don’t make a claim which you can’t support, not that you yourself couldn’t support it but that anyone that could support things couldn’t support it, because the idea itself is so evidently wrong that it’s unsupportable.

This was a great lecture, Dr. Peterson. Thank you for providing this for free, as it was truly elucidating for to me, who truly believes that the observable universe is all there is. You provided a reasonable argument against trusting that observation. Thank you for being one of the better college professors, who isn't afraid to say the truth despite the preferred narrative.

I am 14 years old and I live in new Zealand but I am passionate about psychology and desperately want to learn about it I am so glad to have found your channel and will definitely be picking up a copy of "notes from underground"
Very cool to be passionate about complex and important matters. I would agree about taking some time to be a teen. But the world, with more than its share of gullible brainwashed man-children, also needs some young people to take notice of what occurs around them and to affect positive change.
Here's a huge tip that will serve you well in the future and I urge to adopt as quickly as you can. Just quit the word "passion." Disown it. Disavow it. Castigate it. If forced to address it or one of your children will be tortured to death in front of you, then and only then you can refer to it as the "P-word". Good luck and fortune to you with your ambitious plans.
It's a drivel word. It's the sort of thing that is said by people who think that saying they are going to do something is the same as having done the thing. People who are truly entangled are not passionate, they are obsessed. If they're not doing it, they're thinking about doing it. Passion is emotion not your BFF interest. To be passionate is to be barely in control of an emotion. About ten years ago, somebody cool misused the word to mean a potential career interest that could be exhilarating and fulfilling and provide meaning and purpose in my life and it will beam out of me, piercing rays of cool that shine outward in every direction, a self evident truth to all....I AM SPECIAL. It sounded really cool and two other almost as cool people started using it. Then four, 16, 32, 64.... The Ramones were so poor touring on the road they wore jeans that had holes in the knees and in the crotch. They didn't care. Their confident attitude suggested it was a fashion statement. It was defiant, it was different, they were cool, jeans with holes at the knees was also cool. Followers adopted the hole jeans and punks of all variety did too and the skaters and in the high schools and colleges.. Before you know it everybody was wearing jeans with holes in the knees. Then Walmart started selling jeans with holes in the knees and surburban middle aged dads were wearing them and talking about their passion at the neighborhood backyard barbeque and those damn property taxes...always going up I swear. . . . .
Peterson was in his prime time in those videos. Somehow right now I have a feeling he's more tired and controls himself more because he knows that everybody will be picking on him and probably because he wants his message to be more "refined". I like videos like this one because he is talking in a more relaxed way, does not care that much and it's actually easier to listen.
if Dr Peterson is sounding brilliant its because hes doing something we don't see much: hes explaining his position in the simplest of terms. its operating from the understanding that your crowd may in fact not be familiar with your subject matter.
Yes that was my second interpretation when I thought about the context. Honestly i felt embarrassed that it wasnt my first. Because that interpretation is more accurate. But then i started thinking about the first interpretation that I had again. When i initially thought about what Jung mean't, I thought about what made a leader a true leader. Why was it that "true leaders do not lead, they are led?" I came to the conclusion from my experience andn consumptions of stories that it was because a true leader isnt really a leader like what most leaders are, but they are followers of not others, but themselves. And not themselves consciously, but something that comes from within, so subtle and nuanced that it can barely be noticed. An ideal, a dream, a string of ideas constructed based on all their past memories telling a story or pattern to them. Something that holds them to a higher peak as if there's something greater, above the clouds, which allows them to be capable of seeing everything or have the sensation as if they are seeing everything. So to reiterated, my thoughts, what distinguishes a great leader and a true leader whom both thinks, rationalize, plans, considers emotions as a secondary importance but "importance" nonetheless and acts in the highest competance, is that true leaders are followers. They submit themselves to something that is there yet out of reach of all our sense. Something that draws them. And this is my conjecture that Jung didn't attribute his sentence, "true leaders do not lead, they are led" with negative connotations. To me that seems too simple. Although the circumstance of how he learned what he uttered was definitely horrible and evil. That Jung was merely stating an observation into what makes a true leader. Good or Bad. Just fyi, I know what I say here can be interpreted by some and some "purposely for whatever reason" as defending Nazism. Please dont see it that simply. These people, Jung, Rogers, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and etc are all very intelligent. What they say contain more meanings and "implicit meanings" than will ever meet the eyes.
LOL. Just to be clear, I'm not defending Nazism again. I think the german people in the early 20th century went through bad times after the first war, which caused all sorts of crisises. They wanted out of the suffering so desperately that accepting any ideology, that would create order in a time of chaos was preferable. Even if the ideology is evil. And the more resentful the ideology, the better. All I'm trying to say about my previous statement, is that it walks a fine line and can be viewed as defending by those who wish to see it that way. Because it's nuanced.
@@nwchrista First: If Peterson uses nonsensical terms to talk to his audience, then he wouldnt have an audience. Especially since the issues he discussed are more than controversial and almost at one point a tabooed subject. Hence the deplatform culture, censureship through social mob and academic corruption. Furthermore, when his terms "seem" nonsensical to those who dont get it, what remedies this situation is, if asked, he gives further detailed explanations to provide a greater understanding while narrowing the scope of interpretations. Second: As I said above, he gives explanations that narrow the scope of interpretations when his initial statement isn't clear enough. Sometimes he does it on his own but mostly through prompts, such as follow up questions. The issue isnt what Peterson says can have multiple interpretations, but what is the most canonical set of interpretations. What is most fitting or correct. And I can demonstrate it technically that not all interpretations are valid. For example, a very wrong interpretation here on his lecture is that he supports Hitler's attempt to commit race genocide or Stalin's population control camps is the way to go to slow climate change or that capitalism is the worst form of economic government. Finally, your criticism on the issue you've stated where what Peterson says has multiple interpretations is a moot point. That issue isn't distinctively just a Peterson issue. Somehow you think that's the case and therefore used it as a criticism but that's an issue that regards all forms of human communication. Third: I can't really say much about what your writing here. It is true that history can be manipulated by the victor. But, that is if the victor decides to manipulate history and if the circumstances permits. There is plenty of evidence that Nazi Germany was what it was. We have it recorded in multiple countries which all can also have there own biases of the events or patrotism in their versions. But the events still occured in those multitude of records. But really, just because the events took place a long time ago doesnt make our records of it more or less true. If you push what you're saying all the way through, that's what you're arguing. I dont understand how that conclusion could be reached.
I find it astounding how JP eloquently analysed the concept of existentialism for over an hour and attributed many powerful examples such as the rise of Nazism, Marxism and the power of the axe carried by the missionary to it. It is phenomenal how powerful existentialism is, showing the will of the people and how they attribute meaning to something which under the right conditions can morph into something as ugly as an extremist ideology capable of killing millions. I've learnt more from JP in an hour than I could with any other lecturer throughout an entire semester.

As a very proud grandfather of 3 incredible grandchildren, I feel compelled to say that Dr. Peterson has more than justified his existence and will leave the world a better place not the least because of his amazing , profound scholarship and delivery.
These lectures are amazing, thank you. I never went to university, but I love all these topics you speak on. I believe many of the things we know are inherent, we are bless when people share the things they just know.
This is empirically true even in the Bay Area of California. All those Left-wing hippies go on about the environment, but even the majority of students have cars to get to school. Any working-class sclub wants a car because of the shitty bus company. A car can prevent uncontrollable tardiness and broadens access to the world you're living in. Without a car, you're horribly restricted and inherently less productive because more time has to be spent scheduling around the bus company. It just goes to show that San Francisco has no understanding of even how middle-class people live.
@@nwchrista He's a liberal. Which is still mostly pro rights and freedoms. Unlike the leftists. He promotes soltzenitchen (however that's spelled) who was in gulags...which is actually public warning against communism and Marxism.

Just enjoying my coffee with some Jordan Petersson high quality content. What more can you ask for. Also.The moment he mentioned aura i knew exactly what he meant by that. I had epileptic seizures in the past. Not repeatable though. But i get this strange feeling -aura before it happens. It resonated with me so much
His wife was recently diagnosed with cancer and it really crushed him because he is in serious love with her. I think she is going to be ok, but it was a huge scare. That and a 100 lecture tour around the world was pretty taxing.
Came here for the title...learned Jordan is simply a mess of topic from topic garbage....no real substance or direction. Mostly intellectual spew of big words in the span of 1 hour to teach simple things that could take no more than 5-10 mins....
When did this become about a persons life? anyways the fact you think I said anything relevant to that or the fact you think that was what Jordans "main direction" was its fractually wrong its too much work. He's all over the place talking about random shit that is LITERALLY not coorelated to anything other than it has something somewhere to do with a mind/politics/.....not even going to finish this. Trust me I was gung ho about this guy when I saw his interview with Cathy....I came to the channel only to see a blithering idiot that says random shit and references some way he translated some mythology to coorelate with psychology. i could translate it to a food recipe. He's totally full of hot air and in the end I ask myself...what did I learn here....NOTHING..EVER...from ANY of his videos....I listen...I understand English...though its all buzzwords and bigwords and elegant amazing formation of 10 minutes of common sense expanded into 1 hour of acting. Come on dude... if you think this guy is worth listening to .... you must be truly dirt under the commonplace persons foot to think that he has something to offer you. You are worth more than this guy's time. I've watched 10 of his vids...that's like 40 hours....Nothing...Nothing new...just awesome ways of saying simple shit.
Dr Peterson, how are we, as an individual, supposed to escape becoming a monster? By not using instrumental language (and if so, exactly what do you mean by that)? By being aware of our micro-decisions and staying "truthful" or "Good"? If our individual decisions ripple through society, and society affects us from the top-down just as we affect it bottom-up, does that mean we are in a feedback loop? If we are living in a pathological society, how do we escape this feedback loop from turning us into monsters? How do we survive in a pathological society if we take it as our "duty" to be aware of our micro-decisions that go against the grain of the societal structure we operate in? How can we build phenomenological structures that let GOOD meaning shine forth, relinquishing us from a "Bad" existence? I have followed your entire Maps of Meaning (2016) and this far in the Personality (2015) lectures and it is one of the most enlightening series on the internet. Have thoroughly enjoyed your teaching, thank you so much for putting this up for us to learn.
Prof Peterson, one danger of the feeling of strength vs weakness as indication of virtue, in my view, is when a terrible idea is compelling enough in some dimensions to provide people with personal insights. No doubt Nazism made its members feel like heroes, and provided an almost religious sense of meaning, strength and uprising. Cults make people feel enlightened and at peace. People who fall for these ideologies are people who have not arrived at these experience before, and the ideology gives them the "feeling" of truth. And in a sense they have arrived to truth, partially, but the frame for their discovery carries them on to tragedy. The only solution, in my view, is intellectual progress and inquiry in parallel and as a frame for experiential, emotional and spiritual progress. Thank you for your videos!!
Andrew Willetts Question the reality you exist in. This is how you do it. Its not easy to do, and you might not be the same. It's the equivalent of testing the foundation of a house using a sledgehammer. You're the house. You might find out that you have a solid structure. Realistically, shit will crumble. Then you douse it in gasoline, and burn that shit down. Then like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you start pouring a new foundation and rebuild yourself square and upright. After that, you won't have to worry about being part of the feedback loop.
Easy, you never listen to other people and you always try to do the right thing regardless of the circumstance. It's just what the new testament says, don't be a hypocrite and love people. You have to understand, standing up for the right thing will bring the wrath of the hypocrites on you. You could lose everything, even your life. Like they killed jesus.
No that's a lie, cults don't make people feel enlightened and at peace. Maybe if you're absolutely completely destroyed by the cult, but i was in a cult for a month, and it was absolutely horrible, the individual is condemned in favor for the hypocritical group. It's not the only solution, for the weakest people, there is a belief that everything you see isn't everything, and all the meaningless suffering has a reason for it, which you can't understand.
Plus the part where he says, you have to talk and if you don't talk you become stupid and hateful, that maybe only applies to the "middle class." the poor have strong connections with each other and are free to express themselves. So feeling your feelings openly can make you not resentful. Also, you don't have to hang around the hypocrites, all the sjws and all these hypocritical ideas, I don't think the poor have these ideas, (i'm guessing though, i never hung around the very poor, i just see them on tv and stuff).

Make it an ad for the Coca Cola company. "This is a luxury! Individualism, eh! You can't drink this in communist china! Diet coke is no joke!" And then the camera pans to show Jordan driving an expensive car that fades into a cheap noname people's republic of car as the camera distance increases.
45:07 "When I look at that 🔶Coke can🔶, you might say: 'I perceive the object and then make inferences about its use, and then evaluate it and then use it' - and you know that is not actually what you do...." ⛔No because in communist China or Russia, the state evaluates and perceives FOR YOU on your behalf before you even drink it. i.e. Is 🔶Coca-Cola🔶allowed in China? It's up to the government to perceive it.
Still watching. One of my favorite human beings. I love the in depth analysis and desire of understanding. So we can learn from it and not repeat the horrors of the past.
I am shocked by Jordan's ability to express these revelations. At about 33:00 or a little after Jordan has to search for words, he tilts his head back, looks at the ceiling, his eyes hit max elevation in their sockets and go into REM while open. He scares me. I love him.
Really, hard to believe. I learnt of that history in year 9 (14) at school (we did basic Russian history including the revolution of 1917) & from books and film.
Profile those so called documentaries are a pure destruction from what actually happened. Hitler is portrayed as a savior of the fallen nation. This is bunch of pony shit, historically incorrect and misleading. You need to talk to real people who lived through those sad times, who saw life there as it was, you need to dig into archives and find real historical documents. A bunch of clips from old movies are not a documentary.
I don't want anyone to suffer, but if Nazi style fascism or Marxist communism arises because of the far left Marxist communists burning down democrat big cities, at least there will be some comfort knowing the evil Marxist psychotic left will suffer right along with the good people.

It's rather amazing that we can access university level lectures without having to pay the thousands of dollars necessary to attend one.

@@xxcelr8rs , so you equate being against beating baby seals to death with clubs with totalitarian forms of government? If anything, supporting cruelty shows lack of empathy or even the type of psychopathy required to be a leader in a totalitarian system. So whatever your politics, it's probably a good idea you're not in charge.
Also amazing that you can understand the lecture more than the people sitting there and never own the certificate.
Being able to integrate philosophy, psychology, history and politics into a coherent lecture that not only acknowledges objective reality but also accounts for subjective influences such as morals and concepts is not an easy thing to do. And to make it compelling and accessible makes this all the more fantastic. Wonderful!

I've been a student my entire life. I found Jordan's Peterson's lectures last year, and I've already learned so many things that I should've been taught in school.
The wise man spends his life as a foolish student only in hindsight is he seen as wise
Being a student doesn't mean fuck all. If Peterson is presenting entirely new ideas to you, a life time student, you went to the wrong school brahhh.
Or your 15
We live in a time where we literally have Jordan Peterson on a pausable/rewindable portable screen FREE OF CHARGE
lil JP in your pocket 24/7
What a time to be alive
The Ethalon lil JBP haha that is a good one, cheers
We also live in a time where being a polite, intelligent and rational human being like Professor Peterson is portrayed as being a bigot and what not.
I'd presume it's more to do with the social and job security aspects of his life that makes him allergic to even entertaining the subjects.
He's plenty self-honest and smart enough to figure it out. But you're essentially asking him to ruin his life for little to no good he could do. He'd be a demonized outcast inside two days and all his good works banned. If he gets people on the reason over emotion train, many of them will eventually reach where we are.

@@jennymisteqq695 It's now a strange world. When I attended lectures in the 70's, there was no clapping. Jordan Peterson has become a demi- god, perhaps he was viewed as a celebrity rather than a professor.
I can't remember why I gave it a thumbs down, but since he talks about National Socialism, I suspect he repeated the tired old lie about the concentration camps.
Vee Friend This is before the controversy so the student just saw him as a teacher
I don't recall any of my university lectures coming close to how interesting and engaging this is.

Boris B
Give an example of how he is preaching.
Boris B
That's not an example. That's an observation on how some people draw conclusions from little to no real evidence. You just slotted Peterson into that group of people and not assert that it must be true because Feynman is a high profile source. It's an appeal to authority.
Human behaviour is not an exact science. Ten different people can respond in different ways to the exact same stimuli and, unless one has previous information on the personality traits of each individual, one can't know what their response will be. Instead, you make observations and try to establish trends in behaviour and try to find why these behaviours are the same and different. That's all that social sciences can do.
Peterson has talked about male and female traits and has referred to statistics that show trends in their respective behaviours which overlap and differ. It's not an exact science because one can't accurately predict how a specific person will behave. One can make assumptions on statistical traits that have been extensively observed, but that's as far as one can go. That's not pseudo-science if you declare the inaccuracy rates and acknowledge the limitations of you data.
Another example is how a doctor can predict death rates of an outbreak of a disease by saying the approximate percentage of those who will die. They'll base it on data gathered from previous outbreaks. It gives a ballpark figure, but one can't really know for sure. There is always room for error when your only source is data and variables are so varied that all can't be accounted for in a prediction.
Now, back to a solid example of Peterson's preaching. One that refers to Peterson.
Boris B
Your reference to Feynman was an appeal to authority. He's a very high profile scientific figure and his opinions carry weight. It's not as if you used Joe Blow down at the hardware store. You went to a Nobel Prize physicist who gave an opinion, then you placed Peterson into the category that this physicist talked about. That's the very definition of an appeal to authority.
"I've thought about this for many years, and, though it's very hard to explain, I really believe it's true"
What's this? A professor is NEVER allowed to give an opinion? He even implies that it's an idea that he's formulated. "I really believe it's true." That's not declaring it as fact. That's admitting that it's only him that believes it to be true.
He does use statistics but he uses them as they should be. He has used them to show how personality trends differ in men and women. For example, he talked about asking, about a random woman and random man, which of the two would be the more aggressive and if you picked the man, you'd be correct 60 percent of the time. Then he added that 40 percent of the time, you'd be wrong. Why? Because that aligns with the statistical data. He didn't definitely say that men are more aggressive, period and end of story. He said that an assertion could only be applied correctly, 60 percent of the time. He then uses it to say that it means that the outliers of aggressiveness would tend to be overwhelmingly male and says that the facts do bear this out, for example, the predominance of the male population in prison.
Peterson has declared himself to be a nominal Christian but he doesn't use those Christian beliefs as absolutes in his lectures. He uses them to show religious archetypes and tries to show how archetypes are developed in literature and religion to reflect and explain how humans have developed emotionally. He uses Christianity the most because that's what he's most familiar with, but he also uses other religious idea in his attempt to understand human psychological development. He presents it in such a way that a belief in a specific religion is necessary to understand how religious thought was a big part of human evolution of cognitive thought. Religious beliefs are not necessary to understand his ideas of archetypes in religion and it's not an exact science because he does use the phrase "I've thought about it a long time" continuously in his lectures. Psychology is a work in progress at all times and those in the field are trying to grapple with things that are difficult to nail down. Peterson is grappling with the psychology of religion and morality. There are no "Eureka!!!" moments in these disciplines. No definitive test tube results. There are indicators, like the Miller-Urey experiments that show that certain processes in the formation of life CAN happen naturally. It may not be the correct process but it does show the possibility to be true.
You still haven't shown me an example of his preaching. Just because he became emotional when remembered some of the horrific cases that he's dealt with from his clinical practice, doesn't mean he's a preacher. It could just mean that he's human and has typical human emotions. It's an assertion that you have no way of proving but you like it because you've decided that you don't like the guy. Understandable maybe, but not exactly a valid assertion. A real example of his preaching.
I like Michael Shermer and his ideas, a lot, but you're not showing me how they apply to Peterson. You see, that's where an actual example of what you're claiming would come in. That's how you show that you have something that might indicate what you say has a least some merit. It may not eliminate ALL that he's said but then again, no one is correct 100 percent of the time. One incorrect idea doesn't NOT invalidate everything a person says. We'd have to dismiss every assertion made using that as a criteria. Even Einstein made mistakes and offered claims that proved to be incorrect.
So am I.
Boris B
It’s called psychology. Nothing to do with personal belief whatsoever
I am an attorney and have never seen anyone who can so clearly articulate such abstract and difficult principles! What an amazing man!
Salvatore Scavuuzo:Right, well that’s part of the reason for his popularity and majorly positive feedback in response to his lectures as a professor. Peterson is highly verbally intelligent with an intellectual quotient of about 150 which he had scored on the weschler spectrum, in intelligence, meaning in laymen’s terms that he’s about what most people would call a genius. As difficult as the principles are for him to articulate in his teachings, he does so because they’re vastly more important principles to be taught and understood by practically every individual the world over.
C. Michael you are a fool
I am attorney as well....I heartily and completely agree with your assessment of this “amazing man”!

[Opens a can of Coke]
Something about that tickled me
"Everything we do echos into eternity!"
I chuckled. But anyhow, from what I understand the reason why he drinks so much diet coke is that he cuts sugar froms his diet. Depression runs deep in his family and cuting all sugars, like all of them, including cereals (he also cuts diary and other things), helps him apparently. But you can't just go cold turkey because your brain is acustomed to sweetness (there is a distinct satiety neuron circuit for sweet food). Hence the diet coke. Well, at least I'm sure about these facts but I can only guess that is the reason.
In 1000 years it will be called the Soda Can effect. How Jordan Peterson pausing to open the Coke, led to a 300 year Communist Dystopia and extinction of the Butterfly.

The most recent update from Jordan (being interviewed by his daughter) seems to indicate that his physical and mental health is slowly improving after a long struggle with family stress, extreme anxiety, and his own difficulties in detoxing from benzos. Good news, but by no means is the man at 100%. Prayers and happy thoughts to Jordan, his wife and kids, et. al.

@@kingofgotham417 i know right, doctors assure these drugs are safe and even though jordan may be smart, he just trusted the doctors. thats a lot different from abusing drugs for the hell of it. if there is anything to be learned from it, its that a touch of skepticism is often good, even when you are being skeptical of experts who claim to know whats good for you
That´s one hell of a lecture. Peterson makes philosophy passionate again.
He makes the humanities human again
My God. I majored in Physics, but Dr. Peterson's explanation of the Universe and our perception of it at about 1:08:00 was absolutely mind-blowing!
Same, it stimulates the mind on the quantum level and observations.
Maybe the universe is expanding because we keep inventing greater and greater means to peer more deeply into it?
I've been aware for awhile of the theory of physicists, that objects exist only when we look at them, but I have never been able to get my mind around the idea until Peterson explained it. I'm probably of average intelligence, but anything past basic physics has always been very difficult for me to understand, though I very much want to understand. It's amazing to me that a psychology professor put it into terms I can understand. It's just awesome.
Yes!! That argument actually effected me in a profound way. I've always had the "objects are real" perception since I can remember. Blows my mind how he could change something I thought was so default. And how something like that could itself change. Profound!
As a gamer, it screams rendering.
Your ability to convey deep information so eloquently is astounding
He is a Gemini... I just wish he would have someone to help him protect his nervous energy, he is burning his candle in both ends. If he is in fact drinking Coca Cola, I am sad and worried, for he needs to KEEP his nutrients for his fantastic mind in body to have energy enough.
"It figures that it'd be the damned jellyfish that would be immortal." Lost it here, lol. He's brilliantly funny, which is often not timed well with people's sense of humor.
i scrolled through the comments to find someone talking about that line.
Same here! I just dyed laughing
In other words over their head.
Honestly this man has helped me make my life better, bit by bit. All I can say is thank you sir, hope you and yours are doing well.
I'm so glad Cathy Newman did that interview with you. I now listen to tons of your lectures, thanks to that stupid L O B S T E R meme. I don't know if I would be the person I am today if it weren't for your amazing videos and book.
His popularity began even before that channel 4 Desaster. It was his stance against bill c16, for which he got notoriously known by the leftists and also by the media.
Ditto here.

The leftist agenda only succeeds in radicalizing the ‘normies’. I never cared about politics...let alone listening to someone like Peterson until the explosion of the main stream alt-left during Trump’s campaign. I voted for Obama. Boy did the leftists succeed in making sure I NEVER vote democrat again and I thank them for driving me towards people like Peterson, I’ve developed personally in a way that I never though I would just a few years ago!
Quite a testimony to his common sense approach to modernism.
You would be the same person 😉
I am just sorry for the students. How is anyone able to take a single note from Petersons lectures? They are amazing. No doubt about that. How he lays down and connects really complicated questions is absolutely fascinating.
I just wonder if he is doing this every day for several hours. This passion and energy what he puts into his lectures is unbelivable.
He doesn't like people taking notes, according to an interview. He prefers that people learn the main idea and stick with it.
Luckily his students can go back and watch the lectures on video.

Which marxism are we talking about? The right wing marxist derivate in the Soviet Union that ran more like totalitarian state capitalism? Or the actual marxist doctrine that states "for each according to his ability to each according to his need." Trotsky was more marxist then any one of those phonys in Soviet Russia and the exiled his ass. I'm no fan of phony marxism that kills 100 million people. But I am also not fond of people shaping narratives as they see fit with lack of historical knowledge. 💯

@@nwchrista the far left are misdirection that's very very easy to see. As for the rest of your comment and JP I'm pretty busy but its an interesting comment, I'm not sure I'll agree but its something for me to take a good look at when I get some time to. I appreciate hearing that opinion.
While Free-Speech is incredibly important, in fact it's a fundamental necessity for society, however calling all Jewish people Marxists/Communists sounds far too similar to the words of Hitler himself, so I think you should be careful where your information is coming from, otherwise you may be manipulated further.
Also, Peterson is a moderate -conservative or even a centrist who leans slightly more to the right. Trust me, if you watch enough of his content you'll realise that, but remember to always good your own beliefs, NEVER let anybody brainwash or manipulate you.

"ask yourself why no one talks about the communism death camps"
we already know why
so, why?
nature itself No one (more or less) talks about the communist death camps because most of academia is left wing and is unhappy that the Soviets didn’t create a workers paradise... or the Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Cubans, Zimbabweans, Angolans or Ethiopians. Instead of asking if the ideology is wrong, they come up with various copes; “it wasn’t real communism”, “its a good idea in theory”, “communists helped defeat/ weren’t as bad as the Nazis”, or they lie by omission. Another reason we don’t hear about the communist death camps is because the bandwidth is full of talking about the Nazi ones. I don’t have enough fingers or toes to count the number of times the Holocaust came up on the (UK) curriculum. There was that one time in year 8 English we read Animal farm, based on the Russian revolution. Our GCSE history teachers had the option to teach us about the Soviet Union, so instead we were taught Nazi Germany and the “failure of capitalism” (thank god I’ve now heard about the Austrian school of Econ) that was 1929. Education and academia are a disgrace.
@@MyAquilo couldn't have said it better myself.
because it were WORKcamps.... the nazis had the deathcamps.... no one thought about the fact that your (pro)capitalist friends die from work...
@@smilypsyrus3251 I'm sorry. But exploiting human life for labour is arguably worse than being sentence to a much quicker death by gas or heat.
To slowly die over the course of 5 years to starvation and brutal physical exertion is probably worse than relieving the suffering of an individual entirely in the span of even a painful 5 minutes.
Jordan is an International treasure.
Well said - Too true
I had epilepsy when i was 15 for about two weeks, just out of the blue. Turned out i had a brain tumor today i'm 30 years old alcoholic and going to rehab next week. Thanks to Jordan he gave me the strenght and understanding to be responsible.
And just like he said in the lecture, your decision to be responsible is positively affecting all the people you come in contact with, in a much bigger way than you may ever see. I've given up the boose too, a long time ago, and I haven't regretted it one day. In fact it's the very thing that saved my life. Good luck brother and God speed.
Always remember, you have way more influence than you know. People are always watching.
Hang in there man, hope all is well today
I’m 40 and I’ve been sober for 8 years. I was still very depressed after getting sober, Jordan Peterson is really helping me. How are you doing now?
Every day is a new life to the wise man. Keep at it, one day at a time.
One minute 5 minutes a day at a time. Hope everyone in recovery woke up sober. It's OK not to feel ok. Love you.

Agreed. Physiological responses are so deeply intrinsic; the body keeps the score.

I also find it so cool that I am essentially going to college and learning about things that matter. I attended college for a bit but stopped because I got bored, had personal issues, and got irritated with leftist ideas being pushed.
I'm not rich and went to community college. I'm deeply emotional and borderline bi polar and Professor Peterson has changed my life. I feel like I can educate myself to be aware of my most ancient instincts and habits that control my mind and combat them and stand a fighting chance thanks to people like Jordan Peterson and the easy access to his thoughts by using TH-cam.

Another became a Col.in the US Army, then an English teacher after retirement in an elite military prep-school...another became a psychiatric R.N. after having taught young children.... Her father was raised in such poverty that he had no running hot water, bathtub nor shower until he was in junior high school, but he graduated from U.C. Berkeley, was Phi Beta Kappa, got his Master's degree at Berkeley.was accepted into Doctoral program, became an executive in famous West Coast, then New England, newspapers ! Community College can be the start of deep education!
Hey... don't feel badly for going to a community College, it's actually financially smarter... Get the first two years knocked out at a lower cost school and then transfer into a formal brink and morter University. Basically, only receive an expensive two year tab not four...

35:35 "Sometimes when you tear something down, even if you think it's terrible, you end up constructing something on its ruins that makes the previous 'terrible' look like the work of rank amateurs." - JP

ALFox - we’re in an actual war of ideas right now, in a country where, I fear, the majority of people don’t even know that it’s happening. I’m scared. Many institutions have fallen (though it may not be apparent, externally) to internal cultures that are based on towing a strict line of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)... whereby the internal meritocracy of the organization is being slowly replaced by intersectionality as its guiding force. This all seems rather benign to most, until they realize that the fabric of western civilization (equality of opportunity, meritocracy, democracy) is being systematically replaced by identity politics - in which people are placed in positions based on their color, gender, or sexual orientation. Watch Melanie Phillips’ interview with John Anderson (on youtube) - this is a slow, methodical, evolution of Marxism and it’s horrifying in how pervasive it’s become, how few people identify it as such (it’s a very complicated idea to convey), and how many people actually do agree with it. To SJWs, the world is simply about power: the power your group holds over another, or in the social currency (pity) you can generate by showing how oppressed your group has been over the ages (and thus the amount of power they should now be entitled to wield as some sort of social reparation for previous oppression). But what group, obsessed with power, that then obtains said control ever gave it up? Nor will they.
@@cecilcharlesofficial yes I grasp what your saying and it's the conclusion I was coming to just not so eloquent as yourself. It feels like every group fighting for equality doesn't really want to be treated equal, they want more from from people that had/have nothing to do with wronging them in the first place. I'm in Canada 🇨🇦 and lucky so far but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. You know, I never saw colour until colour saw me.

"Failure and death is the norm, and it's going to happen to all of you."
I don't want to negate the value of the lecture but a few minor mistakes bother me: Hitler applied for the Vienna Academy not after World War I but years earlier. Hitler left Austria before quite a while before the war, dodging the Austrian military service. In 1914 he volunteered in Bavaria (as he wanted to fight for Germany not for the Austrian monarchy he detested). After the war he immediately went into politics, never returning to Austria until 1938.
Also, Hitler never was "elected with a landslide majority". Even in the March 1933 elections, which were no longer fully free. His party didn't achieve a majority (though they were the largest party). Even his coalition government only barely scratched the 50% He then bullied parliament into handing the government legislative powers, which he used to do away with any remains of democracy.
@@mattiOTX they removed power after the elections. 1932 elections Hitler was second with 30 % of the vote. 1933 elections that were rigged, the Nazi only got 40%. Hitler pushed himself into power. It was no landslide "Paul von Hindenburg Independent 18,651,497 49.6 19,359,983 53.0
Adolf Hitler Nazi Party 11,339,446 30.1 13,418,547 36.8
Ernst Thälmann Communist Party 4,938,341 13.2 3,706,759 10.2""
@st r >> There are books and articles that claim Hitler won by a "landslide majority." Dr Thomas Sowell is the first time I read that Hitler won by a plurality of votes, not a majority landslide. Wonder why that distinction isn't made by different authors? I thought he applied, again. to the Vienna Academy after WW1? A very brief attempt as he started to attend the beer hall meetings and quickly became a sought after speaker. However, very few authors have ever asked what was being taught in the German universities at the time, considered the most educated country in the world then.
Didn’t he seize dictator power after the parliament building was burned down after he was elected chancellor
@I'm A Narc! >> Yes he did. It's mentioned in a couple of comments on this thread.
DrBDiesel Frenzy Peterson himself would admit he’s not perfect. I don’t see any harm in politely mentioning possible oversights in knowledge on a specific topic. In another lecture about the lunacy of Global Warming, Peterson has said that a wooly mammoth was found frozen in Russia with undigested food in its mouth (which has HUGE implications) but that was incorrect . I’ve read the actual report from the scientists that discovered it and there is no mention of ANY undigested food. That invalidates a possible flash freeze and is a MAJOR factual oversight . Otherwise, I feel he is a brilliant man with an amazing sense of understanding.
i learn more from this man than in one lecture, than an entire semester of college
The story from 20:27 to 24:19 is absolutely mind blowing. And it makes total sense despite being utterly absurd--because we know how children figure life out by meeting adults' expectations. We've all been like that.
"Meaning Shines Forth" yes, that one really stuck with me.
Your lecture style is honestly so compelling. I wish my psychology lecturers were as captivating.
Peterson is a philosopher teaching through a portal of psychology.
The lecture is started with a talk about Solzhenitsyn, Jung and Nazi Germany, but during the second half it goes down to theoritization around Coca-Cola aluminum can. Wow...
Jordan goes off on so many interesting tangents during this lecture. When he would pause, I kept expecting him to say "Now, back to the Nazis."

Good morning Mr Peterson. Just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for my wife, my two children and I. You have had such a dramatic impact on our lives. You will go down in history as not only the smartest man who ever lived but also someone who had more wisdom then Could Be Imagined. My wife and I are both X addicts and I am an ex-con. Since getting to know you, educating ourselves with all of your videos, reading your books drastically changed our lives we're both small business owners and thriving better than people we once envied. Sorry for the bad grammar if there is any. I think it's important when sending someone like you a message that you make it is grammatically correct as possible out of respect but I'm messaging you from a cell phone and it's hard to go over what I've already wrote. I'd like to know there's a possible way that you could start some kind of online sort of college courses that we could pay for and go to couple times of week I know for myself that would be worth all the money in the world, just based on what I've learned already from you. I wish you and your family a blessed and Healthy Future God bless.
Hello
Awesome to hear brother.
Peterson isn’t the smartest man to have ever lived and won’t go down in history as such, furthermore what makes you think that the smartest man to ever live could teach you multiple highly valuable things which you would actually use to transform your life for the better, it’s like, no. Now this isn’t to say that Peterson isn’t intelligent, because he’s extraordinarily intelligent, but don’t make a claim which you can’t support, not that you yourself couldn’t support it but that anyone that could support things couldn’t support it, because the idea itself is so evidently wrong that it’s unsupportable.

Jew-hating nonsense. No thanks.
Whole new level
I am 14 years old and I live in new Zealand but I am passionate about psychology and desperately want to learn about it I am so glad to have found your channel and will definitely be picking up a copy of "notes from underground"
go play outside get lots of sunshine and fresh air, there's the rest of your life for serious crap
Very cool to be passionate about complex and important matters. I would agree about taking some time to be a teen. But the world, with more than its share of gullible brainwashed man-children, also needs some young people to take notice of what occurs around them and to affect positive change.
Here's a huge tip that will serve you well in the future and I urge to adopt as quickly as you can. Just quit the word "passion." Disown it. Disavow it. Castigate it. If forced to address it or one of your children will be tortured to death in front of you, then and only then you can refer to it as the "P-word".
Good luck and fortune to you with your ambitious plans.
cseeger1 I don't disagree or anything but can you provide a reason? Why is it useful to abolish the word "passion"?
It's a drivel word. It's the sort of thing that is said by people who think that saying they are going to do something is the same as having done the thing.
People who are truly entangled are not passionate, they are obsessed. If they're not doing it, they're thinking about doing it.
Passion is emotion not your BFF interest. To be passionate is to be barely in control of an emotion.
About ten years ago, somebody cool misused the word to mean a potential career interest that could be exhilarating and fulfilling and provide meaning and purpose in my life and it will beam out of me, piercing rays of cool that shine outward in every direction, a self evident truth to all....I AM SPECIAL. It sounded really cool and two other almost as cool people started using it. Then four, 16, 32, 64....
The Ramones were so poor touring on the road they wore jeans that had holes in the knees and in the crotch. They didn't care. Their confident attitude suggested it was a fashion statement. It was defiant, it was different, they were cool, jeans with holes at the knees was also cool. Followers adopted the hole jeans and punks of all variety did too and the skaters and in the high schools and colleges.. Before you know it everybody was wearing jeans with holes in the knees. Then Walmart started selling jeans with holes in the knees and surburban middle aged dads were wearing them and talking about their passion at the neighborhood backyard barbeque and those damn property taxes...always going up I swear.

Peterson was in his prime time in those videos. Somehow right now I have a feeling he's more tired and controls himself more because he knows that everybody will be picking on him and probably because he wants his message to be more "refined". I like videos like this one because he is talking in a more relaxed way, does not care that much and it's actually easier to listen.
if Dr Peterson is sounding brilliant its because hes doing something we don't see much: hes explaining his position in the simplest of terms. its operating from the understanding that your crowd may in fact not be familiar with your subject matter.

"True leaders do not lead, they are led"-Jung
Thanks for sharing. That was honestly very insightful
Actually Jung said that about Hitler, he was led by his own people.
Yes that was my second interpretation when I thought about the context. Honestly i felt embarrassed that it wasnt my first. Because that interpretation is more accurate. But then i started thinking about the first interpretation that I had again. When i initially thought about what Jung mean't, I thought about what made a leader a true leader. Why was it that "true leaders do not lead, they are led?" I came to the conclusion from my experience andn consumptions of stories that it was because a true leader isnt really a leader like what most leaders are, but they are followers of not others, but themselves. And not themselves consciously, but something that comes from within, so subtle and nuanced that it can barely be noticed. An ideal, a dream, a string of ideas constructed based on all their past memories telling a story or pattern to them. Something that holds them to a higher peak as if there's something greater, above the clouds, which allows them to be capable of seeing everything or have the sensation as if they are seeing everything. So to reiterated, my thoughts, what distinguishes a great leader and a true leader whom both thinks, rationalize, plans, considers emotions as a secondary importance but "importance" nonetheless and acts in the highest competance, is that true leaders are followers. They submit themselves to something that is there yet out of reach of all our sense. Something that draws them.
And this is my conjecture that Jung didn't attribute his sentence, "true leaders do not lead, they are led" with negative connotations. To me that seems too simple. Although the circumstance of how he learned what he uttered was definitely horrible and evil. That Jung was merely stating an observation into what makes a true leader. Good or Bad.
Just fyi, I know what I say here can be interpreted by some and some "purposely for whatever reason" as defending Nazism. Please dont see it that simply. These people, Jung, Rogers, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and etc are all very intelligent. What they say contain more meanings and "implicit meanings" than will ever meet the eyes.
LOL. Just to be clear, I'm not defending Nazism again. I think the german people in the early 20th century went through bad times after the first war, which caused all sorts of crisises. They wanted out of the suffering so desperately that accepting any ideology, that would create order in a time of chaos was preferable. Even if the ideology is evil. And the more resentful the ideology, the better. All I'm trying to say about my previous statement, is that it walks a fine line and can be viewed as defending by those who wish to see it that way. Because it's nuanced.

First: If Peterson uses nonsensical terms to talk to his audience, then he wouldnt have an audience. Especially since the issues he discussed are more than controversial and almost at one point a tabooed subject. Hence the deplatform culture, censureship through social mob and academic corruption. Furthermore, when his terms "seem" nonsensical to those who dont get it, what remedies this situation is, if asked, he gives further detailed explanations to provide a greater understanding while narrowing the scope of interpretations.
Second: As I said above, he gives explanations that narrow the scope of interpretations when his initial statement isn't clear enough. Sometimes he does it on his own but mostly through prompts, such as follow up questions. The issue isnt what Peterson says can have multiple interpretations, but what is the most canonical set of interpretations. What is most fitting or correct. And I can demonstrate it technically that not all interpretations are valid. For example, a very wrong interpretation here on his lecture is that he supports Hitler's attempt to commit race genocide or Stalin's population control camps is the way to go to slow climate change or that capitalism is the worst form of economic government. Finally, your criticism on the issue you've stated where what Peterson says has multiple interpretations is a moot point. That issue isn't distinctively just a Peterson issue. Somehow you think that's the case and therefore used it as a criticism but that's an issue that regards all forms of human communication.
Third: I can't really say much about what your writing here. It is true that history can be manipulated by the victor. But, that is if the victor decides to manipulate history and if the circumstances permits. There is plenty of evidence that Nazi Germany was what it was. We have it recorded in multiple countries which all can also have there own biases of the events or patrotism in their versions. But the events still occured in those multitude of records. But really, just because the events took place a long time ago doesnt make our records of it more or less true. If you push what you're saying all the way through, that's what you're arguing. I dont understand how that conclusion could be reached.
Be careful, this man will inadvertently answer a question you have....

I find it astounding how JP eloquently analysed the concept of existentialism for over an hour and attributed many powerful examples such as the rise of Nazism, Marxism and the power of the axe carried by the missionary to it. It is phenomenal how powerful existentialism is, showing the will of the people and how they attribute meaning to something which under the right conditions can morph into something as ugly as an extremist ideology capable of killing millions. I've learnt more from JP in an hour than I could with any other lecturer throughout an entire semester.

He became a grandfather in August 2017.[37] (Wikipedia)
Congratulation to Jordan on becoming a Grandfather last month!!
As a very proud grandfather of 3 incredible grandchildren, I feel compelled to say that Dr. Peterson has more than justified his existence and will leave the world a better place not the least because of his amazing , profound scholarship and delivery.
I can just imagine him in a hospital waiting room.
"Grandchildren are no joke, eh! You know, it's a hard pill for people to swallow!"
Twiddling his thumbs in the waiting room with his little lobster onesie and fun-sized Gulag Archipelago picture book hahaha
These lectures are amazing, thank you. I never went to university, but I love all these topics you speak on. I believe many of the things we know are inherent, we are bless when people share the things they just know.
if you have to drive to the corner store to pick up your damn coke .. to hell with the atmosphere lol !

This is empirically true even in the Bay Area of California. All those Left-wing hippies go on about the environment, but even the majority of students have cars to get to school. Any working-class sclub wants a car because of the shitty bus company. A car can prevent uncontrollable tardiness and broadens access to the world you're living in. Without a car, you're horribly restricted and inherently less productive because more time has to be spent scheduling around the bus company. It just goes to show that San Francisco has no understanding of even how middle-class people live.

“So it’s pretty damn weird, when you stop and look at it!”---Jordan Peterson
The mad scientist. I could listen to Dr. Peterson for hours. The method of stream of thought apposed to notes is far more consuming. (Awesome).
There are hours of his lectures on TH-cam and his debates are awesome as well.
He's not mad...we are...to sheep out like we have allowed ourselves to.
@@nwchrista
He's a liberal. Which is still mostly pro rights and freedoms. Unlike the leftists. He promotes soltzenitchen (however that's spelled) who was in gulags...which is actually public warning against communism and Marxism.
@@nwchrista
What he is against is fascism, and Hitler's national socialism, along with Marxism. Peterson is against totalitarianism. Unfortunately he's probably a minority in a bastion of university leftist ideology.
@@nwchrista
He still can't talk about the propaganda in society that came from European Jews in the Frankfurt school. That's his limit for speech
So amazed and grateful that I can listen to JP whenever and wherever I want for free!!!
Peterson is an excellent example on how using your own brain you can challenge any isms. And you should. Isms have been created for simple people.
is that the foundation of "challenge all isms"ism?
Everybody needs a heuristic device to understand reality.

relax, it's an ok lecture, it's not that amazing.
Just enjoying my coffee with some Jordan Petersson high quality content. What more can you ask for.
Also.The moment he mentioned aura i knew exactly what he meant by that. I had epileptic seizures in the past. Not repeatable though. But i get this strange feeling -aura before it happens. It resonated with me so much
2019 four years later, dr JP thinner tired. Please take care
I thought the...☹️☹️ same thing
Search for "Jordan Peterson carnivore diet cured his depression", he talks about it on the Joe Rogan podcast. Healthier than ever, apparently.
Thinner because hes much healthier. He was unhealthier here due to an autoimmune condition.
His wife was recently diagnosed with cancer and it really crushed him because he is in serious love with her. I think she is going to be ok, but it was a huge scare. That and a 100 lecture tour around the world was pretty taxing.
@@nwchrista 😂 what disinformation is he "speading"?
This was the first JBP video I ever saw - 5 years ago. Great stuff. The beginning of a new life.
Came here to watch him shit on SJWs and ended up stuck on this lecture series lol
The process of shitting on SJWs starts way up in the small intestine.
He’s a great speaker
Came here for the title...learned Jordan is simply a mess of topic from topic garbage....no real substance or direction. Mostly intellectual spew of big words in the span of 1 hour to teach simple things that could take no more than 5-10 mins....
You think a person life can be distilled into 5-10 mins?
When did this become about a persons life? anyways the fact you think I said anything relevant to that or the fact you think that was what Jordans "main direction" was its fractually wrong its too much work. He's all over the place talking about random shit that is LITERALLY not coorelated to anything other than it has something somewhere to do with a mind/politics/.....not even going to finish this. Trust me I was gung ho about this guy when I saw his interview with Cathy....I came to the channel only to see a blithering idiot that says random shit and references some way he translated some mythology to coorelate with psychology. i could translate it to a food recipe. He's totally full of hot air and in the end I ask myself...what did I learn here....NOTHING..EVER...from ANY of his videos....I listen...I understand English...though its all buzzwords and bigwords and elegant amazing formation of 10 minutes of common sense expanded into 1 hour of acting. Come on dude... if you think this guy is worth listening to .... you must be truly dirt under the commonplace persons foot to think that he has something to offer you. You are worth more than this guy's time. I've watched 10 of his vids...that's like 40 hours....Nothing...Nothing new...just awesome ways of saying simple shit.
Lmao 😂 “as we learned from the Stanford prison experiment that every psychologist views as immoral because we actually leaned something”
ONLY 12K LIKES?! This guy is a genius, and he's on a freakin' roll here! DAMN. 👍
Dr Peterson, how are we, as an individual, supposed to escape becoming a monster? By not using instrumental language (and if so, exactly what do you mean by that)? By being aware of our micro-decisions and staying "truthful" or "Good"?
If our individual decisions ripple through society, and society affects us from the top-down just as we affect it bottom-up, does that mean we are in a feedback loop? If we are living in a pathological society, how do we escape this feedback loop from turning us into monsters? How do we survive in a pathological society if we take it as our "duty" to be aware of our micro-decisions that go against the grain of the societal structure we operate in? How can we build phenomenological structures that let GOOD meaning shine forth, relinquishing us from a "Bad" existence?
I have followed your entire Maps of Meaning (2016) and this far in the Personality (2015) lectures and it is one of the most enlightening series on the internet. Have thoroughly enjoyed your teaching, thank you so much for putting this up for us to learn.
Prof Peterson, one danger of the feeling of strength vs weakness as indication of virtue, in my view, is when a terrible idea is compelling enough in some dimensions to provide people with personal insights.
No doubt Nazism made its members feel like heroes, and provided an almost religious sense of meaning, strength and uprising. Cults make people feel enlightened and at peace.
People who fall for these ideologies are people who have not arrived at these experience before, and the ideology gives them the "feeling" of truth. And in a sense they have arrived to truth, partially, but the frame for their discovery carries them on to tragedy.
The only solution, in my view, is intellectual progress and inquiry in parallel and as a frame for experiential, emotional and spiritual progress.
Thank you for your videos!!

Question the reality you exist in. This is how you do it. Its not easy to do, and you might not be the same. It's the equivalent of testing the foundation of a house using a sledgehammer. You're the house. You might find out that you have a solid structure. Realistically, shit will crumble. Then you douse it in gasoline, and burn that shit down. Then like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you start pouring a new foundation and rebuild yourself square and upright. After that, you won't have to worry about being part of the feedback loop.
Easy, you never listen to other people and you always try to do the right thing regardless of the circumstance. It's just what the new testament says, don't be a hypocrite and love people. You have to understand, standing up for the right thing will bring the wrath of the hypocrites on you. You could lose everything, even your life. Like they killed jesus.
No that's a lie, cults don't make people feel enlightened and at peace. Maybe if you're absolutely completely destroyed by the cult, but i was in a cult for a month, and it was absolutely horrible, the individual is condemned in favor for the hypocritical group.
It's not the only solution, for the weakest people, there is a belief that everything you see isn't everything, and all the meaningless suffering has a reason for it, which you can't understand.
Plus the part where he says, you have to talk and if you don't talk you become stupid and hateful, that maybe only applies to the "middle class." the poor have strong connections with each other and are free to express themselves. So feeling your feelings openly can make you not resentful. Also, you don't have to hang around the hypocrites, all the sjws and all these hypocritical ideas, I don't think the poor have these ideas, (i'm guessing though, i never hung around the very poor, i just see them on tv and stuff).

This lecture is like a roller coaster ride through the 20th century
To a missionary a steel axe is an axe. To a native tribesman it's a weapon to bring down a whole culture accidentally, and extremely demoralizing. Power words.

45:07 "When I look at that 🔶Coke can🔶, you might say: 'I perceive the object and then make inferences about its use, and then evaluate it and then use it' - and you know that is not actually what you do...."
⛔No because in communist China or Russia, the state evaluates and perceives FOR YOU on your behalf before you even drink it.
i.e. Is 🔶Coca-Cola🔶allowed in China? It's up to the government to perceive it.
"It's so bone headed it should be illegal"... This guy! THIS!
ExtrackterYT This tells something about the crowd...
Still watching. One of my favorite human beings. I love the in depth analysis and desire of understanding. So we can learn from it and not repeat the horrors of the past.
I am shocked by Jordan's ability to express these revelations. At about 33:00 or a little after Jordan has to search for words, he tilts his head back, looks at the ceiling, his eyes hit max elevation in their sockets and go into REM while open. He scares me. I love him.
Can you imagine laying out the full lecture and speaking for 1:18mins without missing a beat. I love him too.
I only JUST learned who carried out the starvation of the Ukraine and who invented the Gulag,,,

@@Profile.4 But he has come the closest hasn't he?
@@karlosthejackel69 sure but close isn't truth. And he still upholds the nazi bogeyman nonsense.
Really, hard to believe. I learnt of that history in year 9 (14) at school (we did basic Russian history including the revolution of 1917) & from books and film.
Profile those so called documentaries are a pure destruction from what actually happened. Hitler is portrayed as a savior of the fallen nation. This is bunch of pony shit, historically incorrect and misleading. You need to talk to real people who lived through those sad times, who saw life there as it was, you need to dig into archives and find real historical documents. A bunch of clips from old movies are not a documentary.
Jordan peterson is a man on a different level as a analyst and thinker. He is a very intelligent individual
Terrifying how this relates to BLM
It’s a Marxist organization 🤷🏼♂️
I don't want anyone to suffer, but if Nazi style fascism or Marxist communism arises because of the far left Marxist communists burning down democrat big cities, at least there will be some comfort knowing the evil Marxist psychotic left will suffer right along with the good people.
