Jordan Peterson | Cambridge Union

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Dr. Peterson is a professor at the University of Toronto, a clinical psychologist and the author of the million-plus selling ’12 Rules for Life’, which has been a Number 1 bestseller in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands and Brazil. He rose to international prominence in 2016, after criticising the Canadian government’s enactment of Bill C-16.
Wow, these students have poise, ask well constructed questions, incredibly polite, and super respectful. Such a drastic difference form the insane mob of kids in the US campuses. But then again, this is Cambridge.
Cambridge is one of the only *actual* universities in the world.
Indeed. Such a pleasant surprise to see students being studious. Can be no better advert for Cambridge
I thought this was a rather content void talk. It was fit for a drama channel or midday light talk radio.
I'm an Australian who completed a 4 year degree at an American university. There's only one way to describe 9 out of every 10 people I crossed paths with for those 4 years: braindead.
@@GetUpFalcon - Maybe that was specific to the university you attended.
The greatest thinker of our time, especially for alienated men, he speaks clearly, with thought, with accuracy and he speaks to me and many other ordinary men!
Dr. P. is on fire in this speech-- love the intensity!
Lets put our Energy and Intellect into fixing things were capable of handling !!!! Brilliant Man!!!
"Bring out the dancing lobsters"
The unified WBO, WBA, WBC, IBF, IBO, undisputed middleweight champion of the world, Jordan "Beast Mode" Peterson!
Really good interview and question time... was good to have something more than sound bites to finally understand how this guy thinks, and where his POV comes from.
On climate change, he really should take his own advice and trust the numbers rather than dismiss the science. Though what he suggested about acting on it was fair comment; we will most likely let the world burn as we are not taking it seriously enough yet or truly focused on the goals required to achieve much if we do try to slow it.
For his particular expertise and interests an opt out of such discussion is perhaps the best choice... it just doesn't apply, and he will only mess it up by not knowing such simple things as how burning wood compared to coal is very different even if you produce the same amount of carbon dioxide and energy. [It's a pity he made this error as it risks other things he said as being labelled as inaccurate.]
The apology to men choosing to go their own way was very classy when he made that a while back. From his talk here I can see in more detail why he disapproves of the life choice. It is fair to question any group considering what could be seen as advocating radical change, due to the risks of totalitarianism.
From this talk we can see that it is these risks of radical change that he is adverse to, especially if it heads towards some of the darkest moments we have experienced in history. Jordan does seem genuine in wanting people to live useful happy lives.
For the most part my impression of Jordan Peterson is that he offers fair criticism and intelligent comment for his part even if I don't always agree with him. Change is a constant, we can't always fear it and must always face it as it occurs. I do accept that we shouldn't face change recklessly though; doing so can be very dangerous, and this is ultimately why we need voices like his.
15:30 through 16:00
"You have to get your act together. 'Why?" Because you leave a hole in the fabric of reality that you could have filled with something that you could bring into the World that would be great and what that will be filled with in the absence of that is something terrible and that's on you...GET IT TOGETHER!"
This is a very interesting statement to me which is worth further distillation. Here we may find the fundamental underpinning quarks from where Dr. Peterson derives his understanding between the physical world of sense, and the ethereal world of unnatural phenomenon.
With regards to his response on climate change/global warming, there has been some action been taken in the auto industry, with the eventual phasing out of fossil fuel vehicles over time. Of course, electric vehicles are relatively expensive, but with economies of scale, they can be perhaps be made more affordable over the course of time compared to their introduction, like other technologies that became cheaper over time compared to when they were first introduced.
What is the name of the man Dr Peterson is talking about around 25:00? I can't understand it very well. Thanks in advance.

Jordan, you have had a profound impact on my life.

The Crew are all novice Cambridge students that volunteer for free. They change every term. I feel they do an excellent job with next to no training.
The interviewer or your team who came up with the questions did a good job. It showed a higher degree of preparation than many interviewers. Well done.
@Neil Mo, We have PTZ cameras rigged under a balcony. We wish we could film from the floor but not possible. We also have no lighting either. Thanks for the good comments though.
I find it fascinating listening to a person like Dr. Peterson using a theistic interpretation to things as he does. Notice he emphasises that his old ideas been worthwhile and special pleads for his specific belief of Christianity. I never trust a religious preacher in any guise as they're more likely to misconstrue the evidence for their cognitive bias. It's not as if he has any evidence for the belief to be real.
I would not class JP as a religious preacher and he has often commented that the tenets of christian faith (do unto others etc) are consistent with his theories on self improvement . To dismiss him as a religious nut is one of the ways that some members of the "liberal" mainstream media seek to portray him, primarily because they lack the wit and intelligence to challenge him on the substance of his theories.
Perhaps a little guidance then if no training is being provided at the... univercity? :D
Jordan I am a mother of 6 boys ranging from age 7 to 22 - and I LOVE you. You have all kinds of fans. Some of us are behind the screen but we're listening !
you are an amazing person. i have deep respect for you.
i'm the 3rd of 9 kids (7 of us are boys), and even though my siblings have different political, religious, and philosophical views, we all agree with the points JP makes.
I've mentioned JP to my mom several times, and am now reminded i need to send her links to some of my favorite videos.
all diff dads
They are 6 lucky boys then to how such a mother I reckon!
Listen to Edward Dutton. Peterson is average.
After decades and decades of junk television and movies, break-away families, and victim mentality, the slightest hint of common sense and positive direction hits one in the gut.

you are very welcome
That last question answer... (55:14) ...such a brilliant example of his unique understanding/perspective of humanity, paired with command of language. Quintessential Jordan. Makes beautiful what could have been a cold, technical answer.
Always wondered what the B stood for. Jordan "Beastmode" Peterson.
Lol
Remember, Babylonian Talmud is Satanism.
It actual stands for Bernt which is related to the German Bernhard which translates to "strong bear".

with the amount of moronic and delusional university students nowadays id say its a pretty fair safety measure to take
We live in a time when honesty is not easily tolerated.
Haha!
Pretty similar in a way to Aristotle being poisoned for speaking the truth.
Wait till the Hells Angels escort him in! lol!
I love this man and his message, I honestly believe he has saved me from spiraling downward into a hellish abyss.
It's month 11 after finding Jordan Peterson and his work.
Anyone else finding themselves proud that they are leaving to go to work in the morning?
Were you ashamed of it before? I don't know if I'm proud when I go to work but I'm proud of what I've accomplished to get me the job I am going to work for in the first place, and at the same time disappointed that I haven't achieved more because I know I can.
@@jordanneedscoffee In fact I detested going. It's a dark pit Jordan has taught me how to climb out of. Another thing is that I have become way more competent and confident. I have this urge to take on as much as I can. I used to be one of the people who bitched about my suffering on social media. Now I say bring on the struggle.
@@vulkaiden Well done David. I'm glad to have read that.
@@ixaldorran7867 and I'm glad to be living it. Thank you.
Jordan Peterson was part of the motivation I needed to actually get out from under my workplace and start a business with some friends, we've just made our first sales and releasing our product and I'm very proud of what we've done. Peterson is absolutely right, struggle forward, do the best you can and set an example. And also not mentioned in this video but in other talks he's done, that small incrimental improvement adds up over time, part of the success especially in career you see around you is from people who have perfected the same thing for 30-40 years and have had slow and steady improvement over that time. So go and read a little extra every day, learn something new in your spare time, and as he said you only need to work 10% more to get a 40% more return so going that little extra distance. And don't resent and hate people who have been successful, speak to them and ask them what they did to get there, they'll probably tell you. Hard work, going that little extra distance, adopting responsibility.
The fact that Jordan has come to fame is like a blessing for humanity
@Farmer Beth Jordan Peterson is not to be trusted. Right now worldwide we have a false right taking bouncing power further LEft away from the individual in his county. PEterson rose to fame because he was supposed to rise to fame, as he is a part of a controlled media dialectic. IF Jodran PEterson cared about free speech he would tackle the fact that in 1974 PopeTrudeau Senior gave away the power of currency creation to the IMF. Bypassing both the BNA Act and the 1938 bank of canada act on currency creation, meaning Canada has not had a legitimate federal gov since 1974. And if you dig even deeper you will find Canada was never a sovereign nation at all, but a collection of peasant colonies absorbed by the fed gov. The fed gov is constantly expanding due to inflation until it collapses. Right now any who align with the MAple LEaf Brand IDol are being bent by cybernetic force. The CitizenSHIP, The Trust is a metaphorical Boat, and Breech of trust sinks the boat. The unconstitutional debt afixed to the citizenship has sunken our state of mind. We are sick right now world wide. NAzism is in our heads, the socialiss poison. Hitler lost ww2, but nazism won, its here on our shores in our hearts and we tear down Christ. MAkes sense, who killed Christ? A centurion. Who'd he work for? the government. The government killed the only begotten son of God which he sent to Earth to save us. The son of God could have killed us all, but he showed us we don't have to be just animals, we don't have to feed our egoes, we chain up the beast and toss it back into the underworld, back below the waters of consciousness. The beast emerges, WE ARE THE BEAST.

I thought there was something particularly arresting about Jordan the first time I came across him 6 years ago on TVO & Paikin. I observed: 'that man right there is not consumed by fashion and has something not only different, but interesting to say.' It' is pleasing to see him go from strength to strength.
He is pretty damn well dressed tho lmao, has some pretty nice monk straps 👌
Edward, he's not a follower of fashion or the status quo. JP is obviously a sane man among unsure men and he has shown great wisdom in his quest for the betterment of civilization. A ROCK, in a Sea of Uncertainty.
Wow man 6 years ago! Cool
He can be mesmerizing on psychology matters. He hasn't done the work on history, economics and politics and it harms his reputation
dave erwin rubbish. His limited expertise is sufficient for his main topics. If you want to listen to a real historian/economist try Niall Ferguson
This video has been out less than 24hrs and it's already got the most views Cambridge Union has ever received in it's TH-cam history
And the Left would love to de-platform him as they have with numerous other voices.
And luckily there is always a NPC casting spells like "climate change" or "toxic masculinity".
Third most popular by views as of now

Finally! I’ve been waiting for JBP to stop excusing himself for attracting men! Fabulous!
Totally agree. "So you admit there's mostly men that listen to you?" By asking him questions in such a manner they imply that he has done something wrong.
I totally agree. Glad to see him realise he doesnt owe them a defense.
It's because his words are so appealing towards incels. It gives them a way to blame someone else for being unattractive, not physically but as humans as a whole.
@@SSmotzer you truly fail to understand then. Incels dont listen to hin because he speak very highly of having relationships and gives no space for excuses when you fail to be less the you can be.
@@ryancraigt But he makes it seem like women are prizes to be won. That being confident is all you need to win any woman. He's wrong. Just because someone acts confidently, that doesn't mean they are owed a women. While yes, it is a good first step in establishing a relationship, it does not always end in a physical one.
Thank you Cambridge for hosting, and fot the audience's inspired questions. Way to get the very best ot of JP. Pure gold.
I'm confused by some of the comments - I genuinely believe this is one of Peterson's better appearances. Some of his answers were fantastically put together.
He touches on some more controversial issues than in previous occasions (climate change). This sparks some conversation in the comments section. People misinterpreting what he says or simply disagreeing, being challenged, etc.
I agree, this was still one of the best appearances of Peterson. The Q&A session was the primary reason for this.
Keep in mind that there are people, paid trollers, who intentionally publish negative and rude comments, trying to divide those who use common sense.
@@devonseamoor I wouldn't assume ill intent if it can be attributed to simple stupidity.
disclaimer, Been drinking again, but. when Peterson responds to the young lady who told her story about autism at about the 32 min mark, look at how he responds, where is the camera? where is the moderator? is he focused on either of them? does he look comfortable the way he is turned in his seat? He is not giving a lecture to the audience or youtube he is turned and looking at her, talking to her, responding to her question, talking to her like she is the only person in the room and that what she said mattered to him and deserved a response . shit like that makes me really like this guy.
he helped create agenda 21 - do you really expect a poor actor - i think not my good man - he is worse than obama and clinton put together for people really think he is from them and for them - if people read more they would know that his books are not his work but the works of the great that he re worded - he is a con man and sadly the world falls for it - he has been on every msm station in the western world being interviewed by every famous presenter - do you truly believe that if he was good for the masses he would be allowed so much air time - seriously - a legit question for you to sleep on - EVERY MAIN MSM - australia, usa, throughout europe etc -
@@101fairplay Say what?
there is much more of that shit...
@@101fairplay Don't be an ideological twit - every MSM media wants their turn to TAKE Peterson out. They ATTACK him like the hyenas they are. They all loath and detest him just like YOU. Why? Because J.P. loathes and detests Communism, which is the end game the MSM, education establishment/elites are moving us toward.
lol - for your future debates ted c an opponent knows they have won when the opposition resorts to insults my advice is 1) to wipe more sleep from your eyes 2) insults only work when there is wit behind them - gibberish only confuses things
Why is the logo animation so bad? Is it possible to replace with a static logo?
This so much. Not only is it animated, it's not even continuous.
Very suprising to see such a low quality and careless logo for Cambridge University!
and the intro graphics. Horrible. This is Cambridge, right?
Yeah, it's awful. A simpler static transparency would be much classier.
I love the way they've rotated it round, then realized that it's now facing the wrong way and just flipped it in one frame. I despair for humanities future if that was done by a Cambridge student.
I'm glad to see you at the Cambridge Union, Dr. Peterson
I've been digging out 4 months now digging into the core of who I am and all the layers of b******* and I'm still digging I am making progress things seem to be getting clear of course the problems in my life are still very real but it's nice to take a good hard look into Who I Really Am and what I Have Become I call it coming clean getting real and there's a lot of peace in my conscience in my mind and it's very painful at times keeping the mirror on my own soul but it's very rewarding and I owe a lot of thanks to Jordan Peterson
I am a female and I absolutely love Jordan Peterson. Him along with Stefan Molyneux, I believe, saved my marriage. Unfortunately I can’t get my husband to sit down long enough to listen to them but from what he has heard, he likes them too. I just wanted to let people out there know that Jordan Peterson is getting through to women as well, if they are logical.
Jp saved my Life
Maybe you could try giving your husband Prof Peterson's audio book to listen to in the car to and from work...
All power to ya! :D
Amen Sister.....
The planet is in an epochal transition from WWII era to the next thing. Peterson, Molyneux, Haidt, and a dozen others have seriously rushed into the breach and I am more confident in the future. Especially since Linda Soursur and her gang ran off into the bushes.
Taken directly from Dr. Peterson's post on the matter, at his website:
" Here’s something from Vice-Chancellor Professor Stephen Toope of the University of Cambridge that’s worth consideration, in the current context (the described “openness” is apparently part of the university’s declared strategic initiatives regarding (what else) equality and diversity):
"One very specific aspect of…openness is being inclusive, and open to diversity in all its forms - diversity of interests and beliefs, of gender, of religion, of sexual identity, of ethnicity, of physical ability." "
Easier said than done, Cambridge.
Much easier said than done, by corrupted hypocrites like you.
You are just proving him right.
@erejum311 You should know that the Cambridge Union (a debate and speech club) and the Cambridge University Students Union (the student society on campus) are completely different entities. You're voicing your displeasure at the wrong people.
@@ChollieD But erejum311 addresses Professor Stephen Toope, the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, isn't it? Isn't that the authority where the decision came from, to withdraw the offer of a fellowship to Dr. Peterson ?
Besides, the only diversity that matters is diversity and inclusiveness of ALL dialogue. Appearance is the wrong level of analysis.
The guy's a boss. Last week he was encouraging working-class lads in a boxing gym in Manchester. Here he is jousting with these toffs.No doubt next week some Newman-like maniac will try to shut him down to no avil. But as I said before, he's a boss.
I realize this comment is 2 years old, but he was just at a boxing gym cheering people on? That's sick.
Jordan Peterson is Canada's way of apologizing to the world for Justin Trudeau!

A good question - 2:15 what kind of a *fascist Canadian society* do we have that a JB Peterson could be run out of his academic profession and livelihood as a therapist, on completely specious and cynical and politically-motivated grounds? A few hundred looney cross-eyed U of T activists petitioning his removal? At a respected UNIVERSITY?? He really almost got a third letter from U of T, which would have literally sealed his dismissal.
My Ukrainian great-grandparents avoided living under Lenin and Stalin, and well I'm not going to quietly tolerate this nonsense in Ontario in 2018. The hypocrites need to wake up.

I also know that when I choose it, then life gets better.
The happiest and more loving ppl I know are also The most personally responsible and don't take it away from others.
@@pebblepod30 Coming from my 68 years of life experience, responsibility used to be a commonly shared quality in life, when all members of a family and tribe, had to participate in it, actively, in order to make it work and live in relative comfort.
It's not a common use of attention and educational task anymore, that parents take upon them to raise their children. Or that teachers address in secondary school, or professors in college, in dialogue with students.
When everything is thought out for young people, by their parents and social media, advertisements and the rules of one's social circle, pre-designed, planned and served as far as material comfort is concerned, without healthy exercises to develop emotional stamina and a sense of responsibility (which means the ability to respond to how reality shows up in one's life) from a young age, step by little step, learning responsibility later in life can be painful. Mainly to the spoiled brat in us, pampered much.
I have so much love for this man
Brilliant.
My professor labeled Jordan Peterson as alt-right the minute I mentioned his name...then she agreed with three of the points I summarized that opposed the idea of the wage gap being a sign of the oppressive male patriarchy. It boggles my mind how much this man is misunderstood and frankly he's right, the social sciences are beyond corrupt
Not misunderstood. Knowingly portrayed as something he isn't. Misunderstanding comes from ignorance. Labelling him as alt-right comes about knowingly.
Mark Houghton you have a point, my teacher even told me “I haven’t seen his work, but he’s aligned with the alt-right”...how in the fuck is okay to call someone a neo-nazi when you have never heard a word that person has ever spoke. Thats malicious intent without a doubt
Unfortunately, idiots abound even in that kind of profession. People are sheep.
The humanities were so easily corrupted because they are filled with stupid people. A fertile recruiting ground for ideologies that require you to hold conflicting and incompatible axioms.
@@WBR1398 the guy focuses on hierarchies based on bullshit, supports race science, denies climate change, lies about defending free speech when he only cares about reducing the rights of minorities, denies climate change, wants a patriarchy based on arguments you could train a 4 year old to beat, and even defends incels. If you're capable of critical thought and know about him it's impossible to try and claim he's not alt-right adjacent, his appeal is largely down to white male losers feeling their losing their privileges, and that the issue that had him rise to prominence was him being a triggered snowflake about a law he failed to understand on a basic level.
Notice he has to have security guards nearby.
What a disturbing sign of the times!

Not necessarily. I'm surrounded by people who treat certain vanities, I'm vain myself but I mean REALLY vain things, as though they are really important and as though they have grave consequence if it doesn't take up the entirety of their lives. Imagine someone if they had to choose to deprive the world of either good people like JBP or football, they would choose to keep football. They treat everything like this. No sense of consequence beyond a moment in the future, no sense of taking consequence head on. No sense of getting hurt mentally spiritually or physically and psychologically to pursue bettering themselves. Skin deep crybabies.

I mean it's pretty out there thinking there may be more than just 2 options I know, crazy right. Just think on it tho.
Kvothe Windrunner I'll say it again, what if we collectively took responsibility for our own actions.
Kvothe Windrunner EXACTLY, so let's all do it individually but together thus making the whole process easier, no embarrassment or shame no struggling EVERYONE helping EVERYONE to take responsibility for their own actions as a collective. We do have a responsibility as a species, infact we have many. So as a species let's take responsibility for our actions. When we all work together, there's no limit to what we can accomplish.
The answer to the global warming unification question was hilarious. Golden.
I thought the one asking was a woman (I was only listening, not watching). I just watched and I still am not sure. Was that a woman? I'm just curious.
LET'S TALK because he was rushing but it was largely correct
wikichris He didn't fully know what he was talking about in all honesty, which is understandable since he's not a climate scientist, but it doesn't really cut it when he's speaking to an audience largely of students who know more science than him.
DaProHobbit like which part? I’m a power engineer and familiar with the work of Bjorn Lomborg he was referencing. From memory he did screw up something about confusing nuclear and solar I think.
@@LETSTALKENTERTAINMENT exactly ..after that no seems to be backed-up by baseless arguments. So climate change might unite us after all.. Bite me
33:24 - This is one of the central messages of Peterson that has really stuck a chord, especially for myself. I didn't have much schooling and by 18 I was basically uneducated and staring the prospect of a life of struggle in a ex-industrial, high poverty and crime town. I knew I was intelligent, just didn't have a chance to use it, so I decided to educated myself in physics and then philosophy. I got down to Sartre and Camus pretty quick. So I understood my completely insignificant place in the universe and had the existential thinkers in my mind to back that up. I played life life a meaningless game, I took incredible risks and shirked all responsibility. Strangely this strategy really worked, I got very wealthy, considered successful, did very well with the ladies, all with very little effort. But by 35 I was really starting to wonder if I'd got something wrong. I had plenty of money, I was still partying, normally with 20 year olds, doing drugs, and playing Call Of Duty everyday. This was what I wanted, but it didn't feel right any longer.
It was around this time that I started watching a lot of TH-cam, which doesn't sound like the best way out, but I found people that talked to my problems, like Peterson, and also people that talked about the things that were going wrong in society. I was living in Norway, and the rise of feminist thinking had meant that all the younger girls I was meeting had some really warped views of men. Anyway. I quit my jobs, left Norway to go back to my home town and reconnect with my family after being away 13 years. I helped both my parents lose weight and come off all medication, which was incredibly rewarding. I met a (young) girl who shared my views and wasn't into all this post-modernism. I enrolled into university at 38 and now I'm 40 and in my second year, hopefully go on to do a masters in philosophy and maybe get into academia or teaching. And I haven't played Playstation in over a year ;)
The French philosophers got me early, and the message of living free and without responsibility was exactly what I wanted to hear. I can't say I regret it, but at the same time, I realise their thinking was flawed. Maybe JP overdoes the responsibility part, but I'm sure it's a key element of a well balanced life. People tend to go to extremes, especially men. Like always, I'm no exception.
You don't believe how much to the extremes can men go...
@@manubishe I can't help being extreme. Everything I do, I go all in. And when I drop something I can just walk away. I think the only thing I've learned is to chose the right things to be extreme about.
@@neoepicurean3772 I tell you that - the more concentrated your attention is at one thing , the less there is for the surrounding. It has it's merrits , but from what I observed , the "leftover" attention is where you manifest your other parts of self , and which are also (IMHO) women identify with to make the daily choice of being with ye.
Concentrating all my being on discovering the part that generated attention , discovering the "talking" part of my mind that had no names , but was undeniably existent - I left out the part with which the feminine society (men and women , but women were more alienated) interacts , making the teen years ... barren from all interaction.
I pay for that daily , dearly and for it to be repaired and socialized - it has to be shed of all grandeur and "sugarcoating".
The fruits from said "adventure" are yet to be brought to existence , if they ever will be , but as much as I can share my experience regarding "focusing" - I'd be rewarding for everyone if the constructive part of it will serve for the good of all...
take care mate, wish you all the best.
Thanks for sharing your story. I find your approach to life being shaped by existentialists really interesting, though, in that you seem to have responded to the meaninglessness of life in the opposite way that existentialism exhorts for the most part. I don't have a deep knowledge of existentialism, but doesn't it generally limit the person to MAXIMUM responsibility for the quality and meaning crafted for one's life, since there's no inherent essence that life offers? Isn't the man who realizes life's meaninglessness thus become completely responsible for creating meaning for his own life and however his life turns out? I'm not an existentialist in the vein of Sartre or Camus, I think, but if I can read your thoughts on the above in relation to your life, it'd be appreciated. Again, thanks for sharing your story.
Jordan Peterson is a total boss. I'm not a man to cry or even tear-up. That's just the way I was raised. But when Jordan Peterson passionately explains personal responsibility and meaning I do tear up. This man is changing the world. Thanks to The Cambridge Union for making this happen!
Haha! Me too. That’s why I tend to watch these when I’m alone.
He's not changing anything except his bank account thanks to people like you.
Guardian journalists need to watch this
YES
Guardian "journalists" should be hung
I think using the term 'journalists' for those who write for The Guardian is a bit of a stretch.
Ben Quinlan the Guardian opinion pages actually are neo-marxist. It began as a classically liberal newspaper. The change has been dramatic.
@@rossg9361 Yes, 30 years ago I used to read the Guardian, and mostly agreed with it.
If anybody deserves the Nobel Peace Prize it's this man, Jordan Peterson.
For doing what exactly...?
For doing what? He is very smart but that's about it.
@@tj5153 He's media smart, but intellectually? You're better of sniffing Chomsky's farts
So he can stand next to Obama the mass murderer?
Nobel Peace Prize has been diluted to mean nothing. Search "Le Duc Tho". He refused the prize (which was awarded to Kissinger the same year). His answer to why he refused is enlightening.
Well that was the biggest applause I've ever seen for a simple "No". (21:00)
Good question, questionable motive for asking, thought provoking answer.
I think Dr. Peterson (and Milo, strangely enough) have put their fingers on what made global warming so controversial.
Too much politics, too little science.
The problem with them, in my opinion, is when responding to it they respond to the politics and not the science. The science they will talk about, like Peterson did here, is the projections and predictive models that we all know have huge flaws. But we can accurately see the effect we have on the climate looking from the past until now.
If you don't like the solutions, fine, but right now the left is the only side taking the issue seriously. If you want better solutions from the right, they have to first admit there is a problem. That has been my biggest issue with Crowder, Shapiro, Milo, and even Peterson. When they are finally pinned into admitting there is a problem, they just shrug and say "yea but maybe not the biggest problem" and then go on to bitch about the lack of solutions or the leftist policies they don't like.
@@orvilgrunmeier7559
Crowder and Milo are performance artists imo. I watch them when I'm bored with watching cats and pimple-popping vids.
Dr. Peterson makes me want to learn more about things and that's a rarity for me. 😂
orvil grunmeier
Taking something seriously is no substitute for handling it in an intelligent manner.
@@jerrytomas3136
It is at least more intelligent than ignoring it.
orvil grunmeier
No, because doing something that’s counterproductive is worse than not doing anything at all. Claiming moral high-ground on basis of accepting the importance of the issue is just virtue signaling.
And less than a year later they rescind the offer of a fellowship.....
Brilliant as always. Thank you Dr Perterson for being a guiding light in potentially darkening times.
WTF is going on in Universities when a famous professor requires protection??? I saw the first security guy and then 2 to escort him in. Are we really that far gone in the West?
If I was him I'd have security too.
@@kekishkhan9321 Fair enough, but he is at Cambridge University not the rough and ready council ghettos of the UK.
Feminists and marxists are dangerous
When you speak the truth you should expect people to want to do harm to you.
Guards are present for most speakers. There were more guards for the Bernie Sanders talk which I also went to.
I've noticed how his interviews depend a lot on the chemistry with the interviewer. When they start with irrelavant questions, such as "fame", he gets angry and the interview is tense. I believe this is the case.
Pabst Hdez Well the interviewer is too agreeable to actually interview a person of the caliber of JP.
Well it is also due to the intention of the interviewer. Quite often the interviewer is trying to catch him out or they ask him questions that misrepresent his views, so he is constantly having to have a high guard and re-affirm his positions - which I imagine is quite frustrating.
If the interviewer hasn't got an ulterior motive Peterson seems much more relaxed.
I like how Peterson was flanked by two security guards while walking in, just like when Goldberg would enter the ring.
Great observation
"Nibbled to death by ducks"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I thought my lungs were going to collapse when I heard that! I don't remember when I laughed so deeply when I wasn't tipsy.
me too 🤣🤣
💀 💀 💀 💀
"You cannot make your own values. You have to discover them."
Phew...
I was here before the million views!!!!
I was here before C 16
Peterson has a real sense of fashion.
JP' s killing it with the intellectual mans swag. He looks like every middle class granddad at Christmas.
So I guess Cambridge is going to rescind this video now.
I hope not
Surely, if you don't agree with someone's point of view, you don't go to hear them give a presentation.
If Jordan Peterson turned up to an empty room, with no protesters outside, and was completely ignored, that would be the most powerful condemnation of all. The fact that this would never happen just goes to show how childish, arrogant, and intellectually weak are the people who had him 'uninvited'.
A pitiful and shameful reflection on what was, until now, a university of some prestige. This will take some living down.
(Mind you, this is a place which gives away its M.A.s, and so maybe its reputation was not as securely based as one might think, anyway.)
The good doctor tells it straight...
Satanic Coffee Shop. Meh. He’s got his biases just like everyone else.
Jordan Peterson unplugged! Fantastic to see again.
32mins - God, what is your question for Christ's sake! We want to listen to Dr. P not you !
Hahaha, he absolutely destroyed that poor boy on climate change 😂
That was the best completely apolitical diatribe about global warming I've ever heard. That should become the conservative's new position.
Jordan Peterson discovering his talent for humor. Yes, journalists are so silly in their sensationalized left-right-narratives. Best Jordan Peterson Answer about Climate Change at 20:25
No, he's had it a while. It comes out more now that he feels in better health. Plus more people are getting his jokes and laughing at the right time.
@@oekmama For a real scientist, Peterson surely has a rare gift to caricature his "opponents", like the gender studies activists, radical atheists or global warming alarmists. The pseudo-scientists (from the humanities & social sciences) also caricature the conservative Christian counterrevolutionaries, but usually without humor. But humor always depends on the listener's perspective, taboos or ideology.
Wait! They are hosting Slavoj Zizek?
Why not let him and Jordan duke it out once and for all?
I predict if Zizek and Peterson debate Zizek will immediately be very agreeable. I suspect Zizek is at heart a Peterson fan. I'm not certain of this. I would love to see them discuss or debate.
Or why not Zizek duke it out with Pacquiao ? :)
A barely coherent Marxist buffoon up against an eloquent speaker and one of the finest minds of our time. Be serious.
a marxist with a lisp, duke it out with a pragmatist that talks in circles? nah. they won't "duke it out". they'll probably just drink together.
zizek is anti-logos. forget CERN; the real black hole threat is peterson+zizek
The best takedown of the "low-resolution" global warming hysteria I have seen so far!
He's walking a fine line. Global warming is the Left/ blue church/ legacy religion centerpiece and it's built on lies. He just put a crack down the middle of it with a casual backhand stroke from his sword.
He could start start spouting off all the credible science which refutes warmists rhetoric.
But that would get him labeled a denier. He's playing the line with that one.
@@michaelnice93 As someone who has no idea whether manmade global warming is real or not, one thing that's clear to me is that there's nothing we can do to stop it, only adapt if necessary. JP was taking a similar point of view.
He stole my idea. I said over 10 years ago about then called "global warming" i can't verify it by letting my big V8 run over night and see the "climate" change so i basically could claim thinking the wrong thoughts dooms earth climate.
I feel pleased he communicated this message to a big audience in a less provocative way.
This "virus" has the potential to kill the church of "climate science".
He called it a catastrophe...
@@mapki6750 People hear what they want to hear very often, if not primarily. He clearly said climate change is a catastrophe, but this Theresa J comment seems to insinuates that it isn't. If I could change one thing with a snap of my fingers it would be that people actually comprehended, understood what another says or otherwise communicates.
Everything he says just sounds so logical and inteligent, soon to become a professor of man kind
When he was talking about listening to those that are depressed, stressed, etc. he almost echoed things I have learned and said. Sometimes things hurt because they are supposed to, and Don't try to steal or cover someone elses pain.
21:01 The comedic timing there was wonderful
global warming unite us? he was merciless in his answer, I don't think he thinks global warming may unite us.
It would appear not.
That said, I find his dismissals particularly on the issue of energy storage somewhat premature. Just because it's currently problematic, does that mean it's impossible and we should simply give up?
Your proving his answer correct, we certainly won't give up, it's just that, many different ideas, and a surplus of scams to make money off of the fear of global collapse caused by our own lifestyles.@@yancowles
@@jerryw6699 Er, I haven't proven anything, I was just asking whether people think, including peterson, that the problems with energy storage are insurmountable, ergo, we shouldn't bother.
What do you think?
He never said it was impossible or that we should give up. You said that
@@b.c.7741 Oh ok, so when he says. at 22:38, '... we should switch to wind and solar, well good luck with that... we can't store the power', what do you understand by that statement?
The phrase, WE CAN'T STORE THE POWER indicates to me that he thinks this is not possible.
Perhaps he actually means the opposite but, you know, he prefaced it with GOOD LUCK WITH THAT which suggests that he's not confident in any way that the problem is tractable.
Perhaps I'm not fully cognisant to the nuances of jordan peterson speak hence a misreading of his statement here.
Let me know what you think?
Jordan Peterson... a rational voice in the darkness.
A true master at work! Love every well constructed sentence. Makes me miss the Hitch more and more :(
I don't think she was prepared for that answer on climate change, where do we start indeed.
It's not a simple answer.
No, but starting something is better than nothing. He shits on Germany, but they now use less coal than any other super power country.
Because we can't stop 100% of crime we should have no laws?
Because we can't transfer 100gb files instantly we should give up on internet?
Because we can't stop using 100% of coal we should stop trying to lower it with other options?
His argument is actually flawed in this point. There is no reason to not try globally engineer our survival. We know ice ages happen, what are we doing now to try prepare our species for the next one? Peterson's most prevalent point is that you should work on yourself for tomorrow, he said it in this video. STOP WASTING TIME!
100 years ago we would never have be able to stop an asteroid heading for earth, thanks to new technology we can to some degree do that. Slowly work towards a solution in multiple ways, not give up as he suggests.
"Time to act is now. Tomorrow is here and yesterday is gone!"

@@arkay85 First of all your comment adds nothing to the convocation and secondary... You mean evolutionary science. We know quite allot actually.
