Hey everyone! If you enjoyed that video don't forget to like and sub! I'm doing new things with this channel as the type of videos I'm used too keep getting claimed by copyright :( .
After 3 long years "Politics of Rome Pt. 2" is here!
Thank you all for being such patient subscribers! This semester has been particularly busy, and so I have not gotten around to posting more videos - but I intend to do more over the break!
What else should I react to? *
Over 150,000 views! Thank you all for the support.
Well you dropped Jordans Name in the title.
@@AC-zl2so I didn't say I was surprised.
Would love to see his message played in bus stops
Lemme say you are not only beautiful but you get it. I like the way you broke this all down and find your mannerisms extremely cute. The way you get excited about knowledge is so rare. The man who locks you down is gonna be a proud one.
@@kilometersnoblue4311 or we could say, the man that earns her love and respect, etc. LOL. You are right.
The saddest thing about Jordan Peterson is how he is often portrayed in the media as a racist or a Nazi....There is not a trace of either in anything that I have ever heard him say.... Society would be better if more listened to what he says.....and just think....
I once legit asked a person to point me in the direction of something racist he said. The person told me to look it up. Angrily. I realized he wasn't trying to convince me. He was just trying to spread his belief without merit.
They want to silence him because he calls out the hypocrisy.
he's a hack
@@guthrietheboy2347 intelligent point, can’t argue with that
@@guthrietheboy2347 yea, 3 million copies sold of "12 rules for life", the guy is just about as popular a writer as is possible in modern times. But yea, hes a hack, because some muppet on youtube whos never written a book in his life says so.
Jordan Peterson is “controversial” because he speaks of things people don’t want to hear. Accountability. Responsibility. Mortality. Morality.
He is controversial since he sees and understands the huge and massive destructive nature of postmodernism and Marxism, he tells people that’s corrupting and utopian which creates hell on Earth.
"No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth" - Plato
Jordan pretty much eviscerates the adolescent ideological drivel spewed out by schools today. Is it any wonder that “institutions of higher learning” don’t want this guy to speak on their campuses!?
@Psychonaut ok let me fact your bs real quick. Peterson was taking prescribed benzos from his doc. He then tried to get off them and his body reacted poorly. He never abused them. He already has auto-immune issues so that's what contributed to what happened. Luckily he is better and has another book on the way.
@Psychonaut The problem with your assertion is that the pharmaceutical treatment of mental illness has been, and continues to be, the Wild West in terms of what’s appropriate therapy for depression and a host of other mental disorders. I frankly believe that anti depressants and other drugs are way over prescribed, and there are many in the medical world who would tend to agree, but there are just as many physicians who strongly support the prescribing of drugs in treating mental illness, and do so liberally. You can find just as many depressed people who will claim that benzos saved their lives as those that say these drugs destroyed theirs! All drugs have side effects and act differently for everyone. Metabolism, genetics and a host of other factors makes the efficacy of any drug, especially ones that work in the brain, often a crap shoot. I’m sure Jordan knew of the risks, but suffering from severe depression himself, made the calculated risk to take the drugs. Unfortunately for him, he fell into the “disaster camp” of benzo patients. Its hard to claim he was woefully ignorant when the medical community at large remains divided with the data we currently have which is chaotic and mixed at best. Again ,with that said, how does his understanding, or misunderstanding of anti-depressants, one that pretty much mirrors the views of many reputable doctors, disqualify his philosophical positions on cultural issues or human behavior?
You can be ANYTHING, but you can’t be EVERYTHING. Make your choice.
yes. its bizarre that she didnt quite grasp what he is saying.
loss of potential will happen but the ability to choose what you sacrifice is a game changer!!! it is very cool to see it stimulate her thinking process and know that she is thinking about the world around and that she realizes philosophy gives a unique view of our existance. learning is an amazing thing.
The backhanded insult in sports is saying they have great potential. What that means is they lack skills and play poorly compared to what you believe . Was nice picture of the gragh potential dropping and skill rising . With that said the hardest part is self evaluation. Not everyone can be the fastest person in the world regardless of effort or sacrifice.
some of us are already everything.
Hes also saying if you have the potential to be anything, you arent anything...because if you were something, your potential wouldnt be broad, it would be really high resolution, but more of a cone of focus, rather than a 360 focus.
You can be everything. But that also means you are nothing.
I am almost 40, and nothing makes me happier than seeing people like this young lady truly listen and take lessons away from those who have come before. There is something to learn from everyone whether you agree with them or not. Unfortunately in the past few years you've seen a decrease in willingness to only listen based on tribal lines and in that dynamic everyone loses.. it truly makes me sad and I sincerely hope that people begin to open up their minds again otherwise large pieces of the puzzle that we call life will be lost. Anyway, great video, keep learning!
People have always been in there their tribes. individuals like us who listen carefully to JP types, are simply waking up to how deep the tribal mind goes.
I mean is it really the case people are becoming more tribal or are we simply becoming
aware of it
I wouldn’t be so pessimistic about the ‘degeneration into tribes’. I think that’s a trick of the waking mind. We are becoming aware of how tribal we are.
But.
I think
If anything we are slowly, and I mean stupidly slowly, growing out of it. It’s hard to notice though
We might be less tribal than anytime inhuman history.
I know that’s unfathomable given all this racism sexism and lgbt stuff going on about group this and group that, but you watch.
It might take hundreds of generations to come but I think tribal mind is growing out.
Especially if we keep JP in mind.
when a part of the puzzle is lost, it takes time to get it back, but we will eventually get it back, even if it takes us a while.
@Pete Alexandrou Thank you sir. I may not be the most articulate but I'm glad it made sense!
Losing larger pieces of that puzzle is by design.
K A we won't listen because your generation left us with many problems that if we don't fix the next generation may not be even able to fix
And we will not listen to those who made the problem
He is a good man who wants the best for everyone, nothing wrong with that.
He does seem genuine
@Psychonaut On what basis are you making this statement and what qualifies you to make such a judgement, do tell
Cider wrecked this fool for like 28 days. “An enormous sense of impending doom.” Also the dragon of chaos got this conman hooked on bentos. Had to go to Russia for some induced coma treatment to kick it. This dickwad needs to clean his room before he should explain how I should clean mine. Oh yeah, he’s now got 12 more bullshit rules, guess he needs money.
@@Franco1395 so the lifestyle he lives immediately invalidates all facts and evidence he provides against arguments? I mean if he was an anti drug speaker, then yeah he’d be hypocritical but also passing a message on to would be addicts. But he argues gender constructs and roles, so it’s not like there’s a correlation, all you’ve done is disagree with him, but because you won’t dispute his arguments you’ve taken to personal attacks so idk what you mean man
@Psychonaut he makes no claim to assume he perfect. He hasn't cost me one red cent. What exactly is he hustling that grifts people, and what are they losing, exactly?
You can say he is a stinky poopie head meanie face (or variant) of you'd like. You don't have to like him.
But the message millions receive is that it's okay to be imperfect if you're trying to be better, in any way you can.
This is an odd message to hate, that he is literally saying mankind is imperfect and your objection is that he is imperfect.
She’s going to be fine.Taking time to actually listen,not being lead by others who won’t or can’t think for themselves
Everyone should pay attention when Dr. Peterson talks. There’s nobody else like him today.
@Martien de Jong Richard Wolff is like the comedian Lewis Black but not funny...he kind of yells at the sky. He points out a lot of problems, which isn't hard, but doesn't have solid solutions not to mention his moral compass is skewed when talking about capitalism. Chris Hedges is new to me but I jumped around in a 1.5 hour video and he is hair-pullingly boring as his pace is that of a snail. But the second he mentioned white male privilege that was all I needed to hear. It's nice to be able to hear just that and know immediately that persons intentions are skewed. I would add Ben Shapiro and his campus talks around the US. Even if you don't agree the conservative argument is always the best to hear in my opinion.
Davied goggins
He may be the only woke teacher in North America.
@@toocoolfortheroom380 If one concept can make you dismiss an entire person then you probably shouldn’t give advice on who to listen to. You only listen to people you agree with which I think is a weak mental position. I listen to JP even though I strongly disagree with some of his political arguments. His logic on life, relationships and religion are hard to argue against. Ben Shapiro makes me really question your listening habits as he’s often wrong logically. He speaks fast and confidently so people, like yourself, fall for it because it confirms your bias.
@@RShaun the single belief in white male privilege stems from a whole plethora of dilusions and you can predict about 85% of the way that person see's the world. Faar too much negative victim mentality in that line of thinking instead of empowerment and positive personal responsibility. It's not a matter of only listening to people I agree with..it's just a matter of listening to people who have an A+ logical grasp on reality. It's hard to compromise my time with irrational and unproductive thought.. life's too $hort.
There comes a time in life when you have to stop saying I'm going to be someone and actually become someone...
That, that is the only valid question.
This reminds me of when I quit smoking. So many years saying I will quit
I known someone who never got past youthful potential. He is approaching 40 and he has "big plans" but he never does anything towards those ideas. It's no better than wishing so he stays at dead end, menial jobs, that he keeps quitting because his bosses are all idiots, in his mind. They don't see how smart, industrious, driven, and inventive he is and don't make him a high level supervisor or something within 3 months.
Well said! I learned from Mr Peterson is that i have not done anything. You havent done anything until you do it. You can say you’re going to do something. But until you do it, you’re just giving yourself psychological feel good pellets. It’s a farce. And now that i am getting older, I can no longer pit things off by saying, “i’ll do it someday”. No! Someday is today. And now I have an aim, a target, a delivery system, a feedback system by which I can see how I can adjust my sights, and no aims pointing contrary to my main focus. I quit drinking for the 1st time in my adult life, (262 days), i’m eating good, exercising, I put myself on a schedule. My life is so much better, and becoming fulfilling. I am so thankful to Mr Peterson for giving me the tools to climb out of the hole I was in. And I guess more importantly, the realization that I could even get out.
@@jimmorrison4163 That's really great and I'm glad you're doing it for yourself. I climbed from poverty, food stamps, 3 children at 23 years old, to earning 6-figures. I retired at age 52 four years ago and enjoy doing whatever I want now.
This girl gives me hope. Young and reasonable seems to be lost these days. Stay awesome!!!!
Exactly. I’m 16 and it not easy finding people like her out there and I’m super passionate about psychology too
I was thinking the same thing.... I feel encouraged watching her.
Indeed reason seems to be the enemy of success!
I concur with you 110% (if that were possible ;-)
It’s not because you are a Virgo, it’s because you are learning. Peterson is one of the great teachers of his generation.
Don’t forget, he’s also speaking of sacrifice. The more you apply yourself towards a very specific skill set, you sacrifice your potential to grow in other skills...
Choice paralysis is awful, everything is a death of a part of you it seems
There is a saying, "Jack of all trades, but master of none."
@Chris George lol
probably why I'm stuck generalizing in near nothing, can do a little of everything and specialize in absolutely nothing which is why I cant choose what I want to do with my life because I'm not sure what I want to do and that persisted into the age of 25 and after coming across Peterson and giving it some thought I went ahead and signed up for networking as a career since that is the closest thing I can associate with but I still only know very little thus I have to spend extra time to improve myself and that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make as far as time is concerned.
@Chris George
I choose Moloch rather than Ba'al!
🔥🦉🔥
People don't like Jordan because he tells people what they don't want to hear. The responsibility is on YOU. Nobody else.
Yes! Imagine how mad the puppeteers are that Jordan is going around telling people how to cut their strings?!
This girl is going places, she has an open mind and thinks outside the box. She’s amazing!
This is why he is so influential, because he's not being biased on these things, but explaining what the truth is universally.
He explains what the science at the moment says about things. Which increases the likelihood of what he says of being accurate and/or good advice. :)
Jordan makes me a better person it’s that simple. For people who don’t like him, they are lost in the sauce
The fact that JP manages to casually speak extremely high-quality essays on the fly is amazing. I'm a firm believer in competing with one's self, but sometimes it's hard to know how to improve without being shown a true master.
Comparison is the thief of joy, but it can be the catalyst of improvement.
It is hard to compete with yourself when you dont have terms of reference to aspire to even if not competing. People need to celebrate accomplishment not belittle or diminish it because it attacks their self esteem. So often I meet young people who have been taught in ways that seems to push the accept yourself idea without carrying the idea that small bit further to acknowledge you can accept yourself but you do not have to content with yourself to the point of apathy and stagnation.
Jordan Peterson saved my life. His advice got me out of an abusive household and now I'm learning to not just exist, but live. I'm still terrified of the future, but I feel a lot more prepared for it after hearing his lectures.
Congratulations!
Courage is not due to lack of fear but that you step forward anyway. Keep up your successes in life.
Well done!! Often it's taking the first steps that are the hardest when it comes to big life changes/improvements. Just remember this: your fear of the future doesn't set you apart from everyone else. In fact, it's probably one of the few things that we all have in common, regardless of what "tribe" we belong to or our willingness to admit to it. I think most rational, thinking people experience fear/trepidation over what the future holds for us, both individually, and as a group, culture, species etc. You've already done what some would consider the hardest part, and now you're somewhat inoculated against falling into that same rut, being able to see red flags when they present themselves, as well as possessing the tools to navigate an exit strategy if necessary. As far as what the future holds in store, the old adage seems to be the best: Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, embrace whatever falls in between. The most important part is that you keep moving forward. Or, maybe, the biggest takeaway from this paragraph is that I shouldn't be left alone with a keyboard and a comments section after just having had a bunch of coffee. Either way, I wish you continued success,
That's it. The future is unknown and unknown doesn't get less scary. YOU get better able to handle it. You can and you have! Good job! There is no knowing how far you can go. Don't stop.
I don’t know how you were recommended to me. But Jordan Peterson saved me from deeply, depressive nihilism. He re-introduced me to the importance of myth. I opened myself up to Christianity again and then I cried out to God in pain and suffering. I had several mystical experiences. I heard the voice of God in my soul, saw two visions of the Virgin Mary, and had an experience where I felt like my spirit was aflame. I ended up having a friend come into my life who is Catholic. I started studying Catholicism and long story short I am now a confirmed Catholic and my life is deeply, truly changed.
God works in mysterious ways. Life is magical for those who are willing to look beyond the surface. ✨🙏🦋
This is such great news. Thank you for sharing your story, it is truly inspiring. Take care.
oof
You know that the catholic church is rife with pedophilia and child sexual abuse right? The catholics also burned many "witches" at the stake. Innocent women were burned alive by priests. Should I bring up the crusades? Maybe you should've done some research on how violent and destructive organized religion is.
@@ronaldmcsatan You could look at nearly ANY human institution and come to a similar conclusion. Yes, the institution of the Roman Catholic Church/Vatican is super evil...but that doesn’t mean people with good hearts can’t derive profound meaning from their teachings. Big Pharma is super evil and is responsible for the destruction of numerous lives...but there are also pharmaceuticals that save lives and improve quality of life. Should no one take prescribed medications? Unfortunately, because evil is a very real force in this world, any system of hierarchical power formed by human beings is going be...problematic.
Sounds like this guy has found something deeply meaningful & beneficial through Catholicism. Why not just allow other people to enjoy what works for them, even if it doesn’t work for you?
Don't know where I'd be now if I hadn't stumbled across Jordan Peterson.
He's the dad everyone needs.
ye, id be dead... or worse, still in a living hell.
@Psychonaut you must be one of the resentful spineless weak people he effortlessly pulls apart. Awww.
@Psychonaut zzzzzzz last reply.
Bore off loser.
@Psychonaut absolutely. thats exactly what happened to jordan. completely. 100% im changed, smoothbrain has hit me with such amazing facts that i am now sans gyri.
@Psychonaut its ok sugar, you dont have to keep showing us how little you understand. we were all assuming.
Jordan Peterson saved my life..I just baught his book
I'm so happy for you
Saved mine as well. He has a compilation on depression and I watched it every night before going to bed in my darkest days.
His Biblical Series saved mine! Watch all 15. 2.5 hour lectures. you learn everything about EVERYTHING I was always worried about goin 2 see a psychologist. Well those Biblical Series is goin 2 the Psychologist!!! It saved me from myself!! Me, my family, my community and the WORLD thanks YOU!!!
Very Cool Bro. Takes a lot of guts to admit.
Congrats, happy for ya
I love it when the lightbulb goes off in someone's head, including my own, from wisdom like this.
This young woman gives me hope for our future.
I'm so glad you are grasping what Jordan Peterson is saying. I think that you're a wise young woman. Please pass these ideas to your friends and eventually your children.
Love how you watched, paused to think, and understood then explained what the crux of JBP was saying & what it meant to you.
This is why the media dislikes him and the student groups in Canada didn't want him as a professor. This is the first time I heard of this from him, I wish I had this man as a teacher.
@@jimmoses6617 well guess who put these social media authoritarian types on his advisory board as "president-elect"(illegitimate)?
You do... by just listening
Enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.
I'm 35, I'm working on my GED to get into psychology. It's the only thing that interests me so I have to do it.
Godspeed , my friend.
Heck yeah
Keep up the good work. Hard work and sacrifice - with these 2 things you can achieve great things. I was brought up with this mentality (thanks Mom & Dad) and turned out to be happier and more successful than a lot of people much smarter and with more resources than me. You can do this too. Getting "started" at 35 puts you way ahead of many.
What do we do with a wall,
Break it down or climb it.
Right on
I don’t understand why so much hate is pointed to Jordan Peterson
Hes not part of the collective.
The haters are victimization proponents. He stands against that.
He takes conventional life advice that should be common sense and basically muddles it so that it sounds substantially smarter than it actually is. Nothing of what he's saying is profound, it's just unnecessarily wordy.
@@JustSoggyBread that’s not why they hate him.... and it certainly doesn’t explain why they refer to him as a misogynist and a nazi.
He’s a man of principle. He refused to bow to the communist revolutionaries who demanded he use make believe pronouns for make believe genders.
And I’m that 40 year old he is talking about, you have your whole life, I wish I was you and heard this gospel when I was your age.
Your not alone! I’m about to hit 30 I could definitely invest more into myself and my life.
Good thing for you fellas is its never too late to change yourself and become an improved version of you.
Ugh, I’m 42 and finally listening. Made mistakes and blamed others. Never looked at myself for too long so I didn’t allow growth in my life.
You still have time. 5years of concentrated and focused study and good decisions can shift the end game. Do what's meaningful, not what's expedient.
I'm about to turn 40 and all I have are bad decisions and wasted time. I was so clueless, I wish I knew Doctor Peterson's lectures 20 years ago (though I probably did not understand English enough back than to understand)
I love when people get educated by peterson.
Can't lie, I knew of him already from his 12 Rules book but I had never seen this before so it was refreshing
I never realized how allegorical Peter Pans story is.
What did you think it was a documentary ?
Stories from back then tended to be more blatantly allegorical anyway
Peterson has a few other favorites, The Lion King and Pinocchio. Also Jonah and the Whale.
Seriously this.
Rewatching Pinocchio after 25 years.
I love Peterson. I'm glad that he seems to be doing better.
"Acquired skill heightens potential" great insight.
Ive watched every Jordan Peterson video and his seminars more than once he’s extremely wise for his age you would think he’s lived 3 lifetimes to get the understanding he has of the human condition . It’s rather scary when you add up what he says and look at what’s going on in the world right now you really see the good in most people but WOW you can REALLY see the evil .
@Psychonaut You got room to talk when you think 2+2=4 is wrong. 😂
"And that's how you know he knows what he's talking about. When someone can explain something (complicated) in a simplistic way where people just understand it." 100%
@Psychonaut Fair enough, but Jordan has been fairly open about acknowledging mistakes he’s made, learning from them, and taking responsibility. News flash: None of us are perfect, and never will be. But what I find most comical (and hypocritical), is how the elites on the left, who’s character and intellect are questionable at best, constantly cherry pick “flaws” of people who’s ideas pose a serious threat to their world view as reasons to discredit or disqualify everything else that person may have to say on a given subject. It’s no wonder “institutions of higher learning” don’t want Peterson on their campuses, because then they would be forced to challenge his assertions with rational arguments instead of the childish emotion based drivel and character assassinations they are most comfortable wielding! Constantly calling someone you disagree with a Nazi or Hitler may score points with the uniformed intellectually challenged hordes that attend these schools, but falls rather flat with those who have developed the ability to analyze ideas using critically thinking skills!
@@desitterspace2127 Don’t mind Psycho. He thinks 2+2=4 is wrong, so he’s really just here to make us laugh. 😂
I absolutely LOVE the reaction to Peterson by this young lady. I’m 52 and was just as blown away when I first heard Jordan Peterson a few years back. This very same speech. I am so happy you heard him and got something out of it.
Einstein said something akin to: the difference of a good scientist and a great one is a great one can explain it to a 10 year old.
i loved the bit when you had a "eureka" moment and it all clicked in your mind.
This is what a mind just starting to come into its own sounds like.
This young lady is a winner. I am glad she made a video. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Thanks :)
Thank you for posting! Dr. Peterson is absolutely brilliant!!!
No idea why this came up in my feed or why I clicked, but...hugely enjoyable.
Chill out with the "N" young lady. Your very intelligent. Understanding how words used like this in simple conversation perpetuates a stereotype and holds context to a past no one is proud of but something we all have to accept. The story you're watching is an example of this. These old context of words are like the child of language and they need to grow up to move forward. Keep up this good work. It's beautiful young minds like yours that will change society for the better.
Yeah, I thought the exact same thing too. She was intelligent and articulate until she dropped the "n" word, and instantly that whole impression went away. If she's a teen, I give it a pass but beyond that in the real world, she will be judged accordingly.
I’m glad someone said it. I didn’t wanna bring negativity here with all the positive comments, but unless we’re gonna let everyone use the word and take away the power of it, which I’m for even tho I think you look trashy saying the word then no one should say it imo
I appreciate the compliment, friend. Your constructive criticism has been acknowledged. All I can say for your own understanding of where I stand on the use of the word nigga/nigger by other races, is to look at the videos posted in my description. I hope that illustrates how much I do not care. Nigga(er) only has negative power if that is what you give it. I'm not that triggered by it.
@SeppukuFever, please refer to the above comment :). Also, language is important of course, but if you're focusing on language to attach characteristics to a person you may - ironically - miss the message. Take for example, personality and intellectual assessments given to non-native English speakers.
It's refreshing to hear someone go on record saying they like Dr. Peterson. And to find someone making a JP reaction video; talk about niche content 😂. Props to you!
I’m just looking at her arms she’s ripped lol
JP speaks wisdom to all who have ears. Listened to his entire biblical series a handful of times while commuting to work.
I love when someone hears a word or a simple line and see’s how much that one word or line is!! I love having those moments as well example, the Beatles song “love is all you need”?! It’s so true, love is and it’s so insightful if you put it in the right place.
I see that look of understanding and enlightenment growing in your face. It’s great to see👍 JP has made many people have that realisation and it’s liberating.
Jordan Peterson just got the respect N Word bestowed upon him lol.
Best of luck to you. Wonderful to see a young person sacrificing and maturing, becoming your best self.
I wish he was giving lectures like this when I was a younger version of myself. To think that many people don’t like him, tells you how misguided some people are because, how could you hate someone when he is speaking the truth.
I love that your stopping and digesting what Peters is saying.
Sometimes, stopping to think about how the message hit you is more telling than blabbering about it
This was a nice upload to see. Happy to hear that Politics of Rome Pt. 2 will be up soon as well!
Hey Politics of Rome Pt. 2 is posted!
Halfway through your vid and I’m getting emotional just watching you listen intently. Listening and open-mindedness is huge.
I didn’t open up to it until I was in my late thirties. 42 now.
You asked as question on if it’s possible to stop the declining curve of potential. My answer is a big YES!! Learning and listening can be learned later, it’s just hard for most of us.
We have a view we’ve crafted of how everything works. That doesn’t have to dismantled, but it can be improved or changed.
My humble advice if you’ll allow: Learn and listen whenever possible, but be skeptical of criticism without citations. People have dragged Peterson through the mud and tried to ruin him, all in the mission of shutting down ideas they don’t like. That’s not only dangerous but it tears people/communities apart.
Stay strong, stay open, and stay safe, my friend! Subbed! ❤️ from Texas.
"is there a way to grow potential again?"
I'd say that's what the sacrifice is for. It goes both ways. You either sacrifice potential to make reality, or you sacrifice reality to get potential. If you play it completely safe there's not much potential for anything. You are trying to keep things the same as much as possible. In that sense you are sacrificing the potential for other realities for your present security. You can also then make a sacrifice that will threaten your current security for something better. Once you make a sacrifice you are in the place were things can get worse or better. If you made the right sacrifice they'll get better, but it's up in the air.
It's not really possible to stay in potential forever, of course, since resources run out, especially if we aren't accumulating them. And it's also not guaranteed to be able to stay in one reality either because the world is always changing around you in ways you can't control. It's a constant balancing act.
This is pretty spot on, and just to complete that last thought about resources: the resource that you can’t necessarily replenish (at least not yet, maybe some future technology will change this in some way, but) is time (like he said in the beginning) and so you are forced to take on that balancing act or face a bigger dragon down the road
Watching you formulate these things in your own head is great. Thank you for the video.
He's good, isn't he?
And if you're older than Dr Peterson, you realize how much truth he speaks.
He has a great realistic perspective, Worthy of paying attention.
He would a lot more famous and wealthy if he said the things you believe. Definitely not a grifter. It’s easy to say the popular things that people want to hear.
@@inspiteofbecauseof4745 Some folks shut out any new thought. If it's not in their bubble, they refuse to consider anything.
The skill of actually discussing and thinking of new things outside themself is becoming an unwelcome thing.
@Psychonaut Except you have offered nothing substantive on your claims of “grifting.”
The mere fact that this comment section alone is full of more testimonials than the number of times you copy/pasta’ed on it speaks volumes to the efficacy of your understanding of human psychology, let alone neuroscience that explains it.
@Psychonaut Awwwww...you’re so jealous that he is successful and you are a Russian troll choking on borscht every cold night you get to splurge a little.
😂
I’ve read books by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin etc but I also read book by Thomas Sowell, Jordan Peterson, Walter Williams etc.
Professor Peterson is one of my favorites and I learn more about maturity and as Dr. Peterson constantly stresses I keep my room clean from The Twelve Rules of Life. Keep reading young woman and listening to Jordan Peterson, because he makes life livable
Now when I watch Peter Pan I can only see him in the way Jordan explained lol! Jordan Peterson is absolutely brilliant and goes against the narrative. I can’t wait for his next book 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Aaaah, makes me want to hug her and say Hallelujah! Welcome to the light of Dr Peterson :)
We need more Jordan Petersons, we need more students listening to Jordan Peterson. Thoroughly enjoyed your video, definitely sharing.
I believe what he means about potential is that as your skill level rises, your potential goes down because your skill is usually focused in a specific area of expertise. When you’re young the potential you have is huge because there’s many different options for you to eventually focus on.
Precisely
Simple and straightforward, thank you...
it's super fun to watch your mind being blown real time, and then struggle with the ideas and how to connect it to lived experience. I love your energy, I hope you keep on your path.
9:20ish. Yeah, I’ve felt that way about Dr Peterson too. I’ve heard it being said that if you can’t explain complicated stuff in a way a child can understand it you don’t understand that something well enough. There’s a lot of truth in that.
I always try to remember that potential/skill graph when my little kids do stupid annoying destructive things. :)
Thank you.... thank you hearing the message! Yes.... good question!!!! The plan is to never stop learning..... never. Til the day before you die.. never stop learning. It is SO MUCH FUN to plan the next adventure.
Potential CAN technically grow as one ages. This is why it is often said "Education isnt a destination but a journey".
I love this girl lighting up I pray for her and her journey , possibilities , God Bless
Peterson has always had such a great ability to break down concepts to be easily digestible. Love his analogies.
This made me 😊 and filled my ♥️ with joy. To see a young mind thirst for knowledge and wisdom like this is so refreshing. Often, it seems to me, that the youth of today are just looking for a way to play a victim card or blame something or someone for their shortcomings. And they aren’t getting the positive role models they need from the adults in media, social media, politics, sports or entertainment. If they dont have a positive role model in their personal life, like a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc. Then I fear where they and the world will be in another 30yrs. I thank the maker for Jordon Peterson. I dont know why the PC police are always after him. If they ever stopped and TRUELY listened to his messages they would understand why he’s so loved by his fans. He should be celebrated as a voice of wisdom and reason. But to see this beautiful young woman’s mind absorb and appreciate this message about growth and potential filled my heart with joy. It was like I could actually SEE the gears turning in her head and a new door open. She’s intelligent, quick, and reasonable. On top of that, she’s adorably cute with an amazing smile. I hope, 15 years from now, it’s HER lectures I’ll be watching here on TH-cam. I wish you the best in the future! And thanks for making my day!
She needs to also post her workout routine. ARMS!
She's our hope that heros will exist in the next generation..Go Girl .💜🙏
Good job young lady. You have an open, fresh mind.
It’s great to see young people taking lessons from their seniors.......every time you see a senior citizen just think of the wisdom this person may have. Wisdom is rare but it free if you ask for it!
Her: I hate intro
Also Her: "hello, hello, hello...."
I second this
He's has such a deep intelligence!
And you're an amazing student for absorbing his teachings!
love that hair.. natural.. and yes JPeterson is insightful
Keep diggin on him kiddo this guy is amazing and has so much more to offer. Dr.Peterson may just be one of the greatest minds of our century! Cheers on finding him!
I believe Peterson does such a good job of explaining things simply, he offends some people's sensibilities. Makes them feel stupid, even though that's not what he's trying to do.
He's one of our greatest minds on these subjects. Great video. I love watching people's eyes light up when something hits home that they never thought about that way before. Never lose your hunger for learning. It will serve you well.
9:28 If you can explain what a business does to your grandma in one sentence, then you've really understood the business
That man never ceases to amaze me. The manner in which he articulates unnamed human aspects in a simple form is amazing.
I see people like this lady and I begin to think maybe we'll all be okay.
Maybe. I don't think it'll happen with us letting all things be.
I love seeing Jordan Peterson doing this to people, it was great seeing you making connections, more power to you. 👍🏻
Potential by itself has no value.
Potential mean the possibility of creating value. But until and unless u use that potential through skills, it's useless to everyone.
There's nothing more common than unsuccessful men with talent
@@padarousou that hit home.
Jordan is from my hometown of edmonton alberta Canada, proud of this MAN. keep up the hardwork in school, you'll be writing books like him one day to.
When u gain more skills u utilize more of ur potential.
Great perspective. But how much of anyone's potential is wrapped up in talent?
Potential is just capacity. The most important thing not mentioned in this segment is parenting. A lot of potential is lost because parents often don't know how to direct or guide children into self discovery. Self discovery is the attempt at tapping into one's potential.
I love Jordan Peterson. I've had several of those WOW! moments listening to him!
It’s amazing seeing people listen to Jordan Peterson and the light switch clicks! You got a sub from me! Good stuff, I look forward to seeing more from you
Thanks for the sub!
You're amazing. I really enjoyed watching the lights go on with new information. That in itself is a gift.
Glad you enjoyed it!
peter pan girl wants to keep her potential forever. She'll get it but we're watching a whoosh in progress.
Such a genuine reaction. Thanks for being you.
Yeah, he's a PHD. Turns out he TEACHES other phds....professor of clinical psychology.
What a breath of fresh air you are young lady. Thank you for sharing you.
Who else headpalmed when she said: "Maybe that's because i'm a virgo"?
and referred to him as Nigga, so professional......
No. What's wrong with that?
@Chris George So? Who cares? People can't enjoy it?
@Chris George People run insurance scams, all sorts of things all the time.
I don't see anything wrong with her enjoying astrology. She's not scamming anybody. She has an interest you don't believe in. 🤷🏼♀️ Big deal. Grow up and let people like what they like.
@Chris George 😂😂 you're having a fit because someone believes in something you don't like. Leave people alone. It's not hurting anybody. The only problem here is you. 🤷🏼♀️
This young lady made my day! Hell, my month for that matter. She's on her way to great things!
Admittedly given peoples accusations of Jordan Peterson I was expecting a different reaction. Well done, Do your PhD and I wish you all the best in your life journey. ;)
LOVED you're reaction: "The truth will set you free my human sister", love out to you! Keep growing, keep pushing!
Stumbled on your video doing my usual "Jordan Peterson" search ranked by upload date.
I interpret his 'potential vs actual' dilemma to mean that you can be something, but you must choose, and not be something else. If you don't choose than time choose for you. "Life is what happens when we are trying to figure out what to do."
( Just a small suggestion is to choose less 'colorful' descriptors. 5:15 When your grandchildren unearth this, you might have to explain. )
Keep up the good work. And might I suggest another Jordan Peterson video that I watch again from time to time.

"Train like you fight. Fight like you train."
HAHAHAA! I was just so impressed! I'll try to tone it down for the next video :)
