001 Maps of Meaning: 1 Monsters of Our Own Making (TVO)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- This is the first of a 13-part 30 minute episode television series broadcast by TVO presenting Dr. Jordan B Peterson's lectures on his book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief. The lecture provides a good introduction to the psychology of mythology and religion, based on the idea that stories from these domains describe the world as a place of action, rather than, as science does, a place of things.

At the age of 27 he helped me realise and articulate what I had always known: working in a retail store for my whole life was never going to let me know the true potential underneath. Nowadays I'm doing well on my degree in mathematics with the aim to go on to graduate school and pursue a worthwhile career whilst building a family with my partner. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR PETERSON
Which degree, Bachelor in Mathematics
Hey congrats. Wish you all the best. :)
My thumbs up is 111 matched with gratitude
wishes
Get married. Best wishes on the family. We need them and they have value to our society outside our own little microchasm.
I started to listen to Jordan Peterson and it had a profound effect on me, I'm dropping out of art school to study Psychology instead, I'm in the midst of applying, with me luck
Did you get in?
So you are ready to leave the beauty for the twilight...
csenge varkonyi did you get in?
goodluck my man
Best of luck! I'm sure you'll become a great person in this broken society
Spent the day in chaos. This lock-down is hard. By evening, Jordan's Biblical series brought me back to order. Now I am back to work at night. Finishing my doctoral thesis. Listening to this for encouragement. Thank you for motivating me to improve my life Sir.
Young Jordan is soo chill.
Before he lost his mind
@@crisisactor420 More like you lost yours
@@crisisactor420 And then regained it, thanks to the solid foundation he laid with his family.
He’s aged like a fine wine! More beautiful and with deeper and more interesting layers over time! I prefer his 🧂 & 🌶 (salt & pepper) looks of nowadays.
@Sean Lost his mind in the best way possible
I never thought I'd ever take a university course. My life never took that path. Thank you for this.
5 years later. How did it go 🎤
@@whenraindropsfall About halfway through the lecture series. Took the self authoring course. Realised I was writing book halfway through. On track to self publish by the fall, to coincide with Trudeau's inevitable snap election.

Oh my God. I have just officially had fhs biggest epiphany of my life right at the end of this video . I now know the answer to a question I been struggling with for years. God bless Jordan Peterson
Which question?
@@MegaJotie Good question. But its personal so it might not have weight for you.. but the question I was asking myself and God really, was "should I get in to music?" And this video helped me answer that .
I wonder if I could listen to Dr. Peterson for an entire lecture. I think I'd get a crush on him and could barely follow the content. Is it just me or is he darn awesome?
He is darn awesome
Is you last name Urista? It is mine, that is why I ask.
He looks like Rick Springfield, the heartthrob of my 20s.
He had a movie star looks. Extemely good looking and he has got brains too. And he lived up to his potential. He deserves his tremendous success.
Man, this guys impressive. His intelligence , sincerity, principles, ethics, and ability to convey information is incredible. I understand most of what he speaks about, have many of the same ideas and beliefs, but wish I could speak and convey my own opinions, knowledge, beliefs, etc. as well as him. And, it's not just schooling or his educational background , I've grown up around many well informed and well educated individuals ( at 45 years of age), but absolutely none explains information and beliefs any where close to as well as Mr. Peterson. Its fascinating. I got into some legal troubles a couple of decades ago and, it through a wrench into my being a productive member of society. And, I was fairly intelligent and hard working. Did almost 9 years, for something I actually didn't do, basically came down to being accused and I wouldn't rat on my brother and some of my friends. It is what it is. My point that I'm going for, after doing those many years in prison, you learn ALOT of things about man, human nature, etc..If, hypothetically speaking, Jordan Peterson was given a prison sentence for say something he didn't do, whatever, he would be accepted by a majority of the inmates and, most would befriend him and protect him. Mr. Peterson might actually find that interesting, lol. The guy is fucking sharp, his sincerity and conviction shines through. On of the most impressive people I've ever seen. I'm not a fanboy type of person. If my favorite rock band, author, actor, whatever walked past me in the casino or hotel lobby, there would be a 98 % probability that I would absolutely not go up to the person and talk to them, or ask for an autograph, etc.. But, if I saw Jordan Peterson, I'd make a b line directly to him and introduce myself and thank him for what he does. I suffer from some depression, I guess we all more or less do but, I'm curious what makes him depressed? Anyway, love this fucking guy!!
Wow! You just absolutely expressed what I admire about Dr. Peterson.
Just wanted to echo the thanks!
I wonder if the students who attended Prof J. B. Peterson's lectures then and now realise they are being taught by one of humanity's greatest minds of the day! Lucky so and sos, haha!
Started with a speech on bill c-16 now I’m here
I had an epiphany last night, born from decades of addressing my flaws.
1. Pain and suffering are not the same thing.
2. Suffering only exists as one of two consequences for desire.
3. Desiring someTHING is the first step towards suffering, but aspiring to achieve leads to greatness.
4. The happiness in aspiration is not in the goal of achievement and perfection but in the journey to get there.
5. An honest SACRIFICE (not begrudgingly) to somebody or something (God) is not for their benefit but for yours.
6. An honest sacrifice is the understanding that a desire for things that you cannot control (anything within the universe/reality) is foolhardy and causes suffering if you fail.
7. Therefore, the road to Heaven (nirvana, TRUE happiness, rapture, etc.) IS honest sacrifice because you are free from the clutches of desire-induced eternal suffering which is what Hell is desribed as.
8. God does not ask you to sacrifice for Him, rather, he asks you to sacrifice for yourself to free yourself from suffering.
P.S. I’m struggling to stay agnostic as things are becoming clearer in my old age, and I used Christianity, mainly, because I was raised Catholic. I am most familiar with it. I still do not feel anything divine (I do feel psychological weights being lifted), per se, but some of the arguments against Christianity seem trivial in the illumination that hit me last night. Even if you remove God from the explanation, neurobiology even agrees with the assessment of desire, suffering, sacrifice, and happiness.
The more energy you spend desiring something and not having the object of your desire, the more robust those neuronal circuits become making those feelings easier to activate. This is a positive feedback loop where the more you desire, the easier it becomes to feel that desire...and suffering. Sacrifice is the cognitive admission that that desire is destructive and is the root of your suffering; of your personal Hell.
Not a sermon. Just a thought.
I was listening to Rule #7, and your discussion about sacrifice was the final piece of a decades long adventure into myself. It rang a bell with me when it reminded me of a conversation I tried to strike up in regards to “gratitude” in regards to government welfare. As it was my first discussion in Facebook Poltiics, I wasn’t fully prepared for the back lash. I never had an opportunity to explain that “gratitude” is inconsequential to the benefactor (a true benefactor, not one seeking accolades), as the benefactor’s motive isn’t to illicit gratitude.
Gratitude is for the beneficiary. It is a signal that society is not evil. It is a confirmation that people are good. Without understanding this, the beneficiary will remain trapped in the personal hell of resentment, entitlement, desire, and suffering of their own design. Hell isn’t a tangible place, it is an abstract concept that exists only within the mind.
tl;dr
Good comment
@@JoeNoobie Yeah. That’s a problem Twitter has created.
Thanks for this comment. It was enlightening
Dr Jordan Peterson. I istened to your GQ interview recently. You want to be remembered as an honest man. You definitely are a very honest man. That is very beautiful to see. Have been listening to your interviews irregularly often. You are an exact man with your words. I would love to meet you.
Jordan, truly thank you. Im not insecure or downtrodden in a fairly egalitarian Irish society but I'm fortified by your teachings, guided by sound, solid, accessible signposts to becoming a better man. Personally put you on par with Alan watts and Sopolsky of Stanford for cutting through the fog in my life. *tips the hat*
Love Alan Watts! Check out Ram Dass.
What a blessing and gift to have this at your fingertips to enjoy and share. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
I love Dr. Peterson's work. My only critique of this lecture is that the cosmology of the Medieval Church was functionally different. It was in error not because it followed a biblical view of cosmology, but because it followed an Aristotelian view. To that end the Earth and humanity at the center of the cosmos was not a place of honor or priority, but rather one of humiliation and baseness, thus why Dante viewed Satan as at the center of the Earth. The higher one rose into the heavenly realms, the nearer to God one came. It's right to criticize the cosmology of the period because it didn't correspond to reality, but the "science was settled," as the Church saw it, because the great minds of the ancient Greeks had already solved all the questions that people had.
Excellent point! The church during that period (1000 - 1900?) operated under a biblical/philosophical world view...not just biblical.
I wish to god that I could hire you as a psychiatrist.
I have had a serious distrust of psychiatrists since I was fairly young, I'd say four years old.. until I came across your videos on TH-cam and Facebook. I'm a 25 year old man.
You're an amazing person and for some reason I trust you as a person and a psychiatrist.
You're one of my top role models.
This guy is nothing but a brilliant mind a product of great discipline and education of north America way back when, and I just admire him and all he has taught me for free
FYI, this series was aired in 2004 on TVO.
2004? I t looks like the eighties lol.
THANK YOU.
I was looking for this, thanks.
@@themayqueen666 cue the Robin Sparkles video "Let's Go To The Mall"
Dr. Peterson, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making these lectures available.
I remember watching this series on TVO in 2004. There were also some lectures of his on another program called Big Ideas. Thoroughly fascinating stuff. When his name came up in the news more recently I had a hard time believing it was the same person. Anyway, I miss TVO and I'm glad these videos are available.
Thanks for putting up so many lectures, Dr. Peterson. A mind needs education like a sponge needs flowing water.
🙏💙🙏 u are a great man for doing this work and putting it online so so many can listen learn and benefit. Thank u Jp🙏💙🙏
I got this equalizer on my PC, and I actually made this audio to be the most coolest professors voice ever...I am listening in a comfort zone with a cig and my books and pdfs in an unbroken progress right now...paramount!!! But what monster have I created in my attachment to this moment????....My own illusion is the monster. The conditioning is the monster. Just to know it is to embrace the monster. Then the monster becomes the power of the new enhanced superhero....ME!!!!!!!
At 22:00 there's a mouse! :O
SirPuffingtons - Definitely a rodent of some kind. Good catch!
SirPuffingtons Looks like Jerry Seinfeld 🤓
Good eyes!! (Are you sure you're listening to the lecture?)
hahaha thank you for bringing this to my attention.
That mouse has such a tidy room
at least the trains run on time. thats what they said in germany at the beginning of hitler. Hey, has any one else noticed how brilliant this guy is.
Terry Harris
It was actually Mussolini who allegedly made the 'trains run on time' while simultaneously destroying society.
There's an interesting story about the trains. Mussolini was obviously the senior fascist, when Hitler came to power. Then, he decided to visit Germany, at Hitler's invitation. As he was riding in his train, he saw another train matching the speed of his own, and moving in the same direction. Then, he was looking in one of the windows and saw Hitler. Slowly, Hitler's train started picking up speed, and when Mussolini arrived at the station, Hitler had disembarked from his own, and was waiting to greet him. Mussolini never, forgot this, and became the "junior fascist", after this moment.
I love listening to these lectures...and want to thank him for posting them! brilliant. (& btw, what a handsome man!) and another shallow observation... your voice reminds me of kermit the frog a little? but again, THANK YOU FOR AMAZING lectures!!!
Just reading through the comments and found your comparison of the Prof to Kermit and I laughed out loud as I made the same connection the first time I heard the great man speak!
Now I can't unhear it. LMAO
Jordan is like miracle grow for my mind.
Thanks so much for putting these online! For those like me who did not have the opportunity to learn from such good professors, this is truly a gamechanger.
Have you ever read John Grey, "The Silence of Animals?" Just curious.
Upvoting this, "The Silence of Animals" is a great book! :)
how is it like?
It's a cannibalistic serial killer. Great crime novel.
Loving the Seinfeld backdrop.
John Gray does fiction?
This is very genuine how Dr Jordan Peterson Connected Nietzsche’s supposition about god being dead and the existential crisis following it with the story of Frankenstein😲 thank you so much for these lectures sir!!
Can't help but find the evolution of his voice peculiar. I thought he would've always sounded like he does now. I'm glad he tonned down his intellectual vocabulary in place of a (yes more rudimentary) more palatable one to get his message across to simpler minds like my own. Thank you, should you ever read this. My generation is in dire need of some direction
Perhaps his diction is loftier here because he is speaking to University students not the general public.
Thank you so much for uploading. This was brilliant.
Started the book today. Thank you so much for uploading this video!
You sound so much younger, it's really weird. I also really appreciate the graphics that appear as you talk, it gives a great visual aid to concrete what you're saying into mind.
If you dont lose your fear,tha you will have it
Losing the fear opens the doors of possibilitys.
So if you want to be locked inside your room of fear,than keep the fear if you want to.
Losing fear it means walking out of the room,freedom
TVO is Canadian public tv. These videos are from the mid 1990’s , around the same time as his Harvard Lectures , which are more technical for undergraduates. I think these lectures are what we would call extramural classes in the UK. For the public, not for university students.
I'm just seeing this earlier videos.
This man is a miracle. Is just such a light...!!!!
If I ever get to have a third son I'm naming him after this man.
Thank you for making this available sir. I enjoyed it.
Think every high school student needs to take this course
Have heard almost a 100 lectures of Dr. Peterson and have just got here, the first lecture of TVO series Big Ideas, the one that started the 12 rules of life book, as mentioned in the book. He has aged well..
Thank you for posting this fascinating series of lectures! I see below that I'm not the only one curious about the opening and closing music. It's beautiful! We would all love to know where the music comes from!

What a fantastic lecture. This is a really important and rare interest at this stage of the game, but I have a feeling that this is all about to change
Thanks to watching Jordan Peterson video’s I’m quitting my job as a dishwasher to become a ceramic hydration engineer
18:18 This brief interlude is brought to you by CHAOS.
Unbelievable. So helpful and real empathy.
Love this format. Really easy to understand the material. Seeing the slides on the split screen with the text underneath is really useful. Kind of like the Pageau video, I guess. With the newer lectures that are much more dense, this would work well. I also recommend this series for the basics of the theory.
Like the segues too. There is an elegance to the style that works well with the profundity and image oriented nature of the material.
Jordan Peterson is brilliant
This must be from the early 2000's or "the oughts" because there are no laptops in front of the students. No gray hair on Jordan's head. He also speaks a bit slower. Just figured out this is from 2004, according to the copyright date at the very end. I find it interesting that he had the foresight to have these lectures recorded. This was before TH-cam got started. I wonder what he planned on doing with them before TH-cam gave him a platform or soapbox.
It was aired on TV Ontario
It's great to watch Jordan before he was dragged in a sense into politics. Not to disparage his later stance on things, but it's nice to get away from the quagmire of the left and right battle and just listen to good philosophy.
Thank you for your help JP
Brilliant...Worthwhile to listen to. I’m keen on reading the book. You should be too...
For the love of order and chaos, someone post the name of the goddamn music

humans are so hmm
if you go to the description of the video and scroll all the way down ... Jordan posts his sources not like most of the EweTubers who often have not a clue to who their sources are ...
Great lecture. Thanks for posting. I heard you on the Joe Rogan Experience. I plan to start consuming all of the content on this channel.
I feel like you are doing incredibly important work. You are the Joseph Campbell of today when it comes to helping humans find meaning in life.
Bradox Taylor I was thinking the same thing. And not very many people know about Joseph Campbell.
bright, but hardly a joseph campbell. peterson is wonderfully highly intellectual, committed to it, and... limited by it. that, and too scientific, for such open, mythical and spiritual thinking and belief like campbell's.
Brilliant.
What is the song at the beginning?
Minimalism by De Wolfe Music
@jordanbpeterson - Where's that bumper music from? It's beautiful.
Anyone know? I'd like to listen to it.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Symphonie №41 [Jupiter]
No, it is not. Don't post if you don't know what you are saying.
It really sounds like Philip Glass or some other Minimalist but my guess is it's an original composition and some stock music that TV Ontario used...eh?

Looks a bit like young Jerry Seinfeld
no y is everyone saying this
jerry looks super jewish jordan looks super canadian
I think putting Mr Peterson in the same sentence as Seinfeld is an insult in itself lol
Whaaat’s the deal with these lobsters, eh?
@@kobaltapollodorus8922 you are the only one on this reply thread who passed the vibe check
Brilliant. Thank you.
Its sad to see this is the series thats the least watched
I think, if the subtitles/closed captions stop working midst the video (and start at the beginning, though the video still runs towards the end), then one should not offer it at all, or deactivate it, if possible.. so its only annoying and clearly not helping, especially for the ones, who are not able to hear. Am I wrong ?
"What is it about chaos, that's so terrifying?"
I would be interested to hear Jordan Peterson explore the themes of masculinity in the Oceans movies
Magnificent
This video may have been released in 2015, but it is clearly from much earlier; e.g., the program shows Solzhenitsyn as still being alive. That puts this video at least back to early 2008; but Dr. Peterson looks young like he did during his time at Harvard. However, as he is here identified as from UofT, this could not be earlier than Fall semester 1998.
It was released in 2004
This video supposed to be filmed in old days, students did not have notebooks...
Revisiting this lecture after a few years and the content seems different somehow, perspective?
The subtitles on this video are totally insane - it is better to watch this without them.
Haha, machines are not conscious ;) That's fortunate, we are not doomed. ;)
Better to listen. Private lecture.
Who's this young guy? He reminds me a bit of Jordan Peterson. ;) Seriously, when was this recorded?
So Good!
One day, I will wake up and find that someone has told us what the name of the music is in the beginning.
try shazam??
It really sounds like Philip Glass or some other Minimalist but my guess is it's an original composition and some stock music that TV Ontario used...eh?

It is in the video description :D (Minimalism - De Wolfe Music)
Daan Janssen he (Dr Peterson) always credits the music used in the description
OMG I just realized Jordan looks like my old Canadian boyfriend when he was younger with darker hair.
Very interesting lecture. I am stuck at 17:40 though.
Watching in 2017
Superior audience !
Me as well. I am slowly slugging through all of Peterson's lectures - partly seems silly, because there is a lot of repetition of course, but I am trying to develop discipline at the same time, so that by the time I've gone through all of his lectures, I have the wherewithal to delve deeper to the source material as well as his greatest opponents independently, and also to reflect and more deeply contemplate on the core ideas and the questions that I find interesting in particular.
To be honest, the speed at which I am advancing is not that slow. I'm currently doing 12 hour work shifts in a factory, and use that time to listen to his lectures at the same time.
Jordan Peterson Halloween Extravaganza Speciale!
This is like taking bottle opener to one's psycho-spiritual codependency. " new wine and old skins"
+Jody Carter Jody? are we playing at being an intellectual. I may be wrong, and I apologize if I am, but if I am not get over yourself. Psycho spiritual codependency? sounds like high brow psycho babble to me. But hey who am I right. Just my opinion.
+Terry Harris Terry? Yes we are playing at being intellectuals. Because the other option would be to work at it and that's not fun, and I dare say a disingenuous pursuit. But I like having lots of fun... I think the structure of you comment is hilarious by the way. Really telling of someone who may have forgotten about fun. So your apology is accepted.
+Jody Carter...And while I am having so much fun with this I might help you out. Since what I said was "psycho-babble" to you. Psycho-spiritual codependency is an idea( see you can use words to express these things but it takes something called creative imagination and direction of thought) in reference to existential paradigms of psychological intra actions in a collective culture. The simple word for this is religion. Making those experiences no less real but subject the to he cultural paradigm in which it resides. What Peterson is saying as I gathered was "monsters of our own making" has a greater perspective in relation to history and cosmology and therefore also in effect psychology. Similar to the work of Joseph Campbell but not the same. So the perspective is as collective as it is intimate. The codependency comes from the need to hold on to those paradigms in light of new understanding. Much like in Christ's time so it made me think of the parable of "old wine and new skins"
Jody Carter like I said, if I am wrong I apologize. There is a lot of pretenders in the world today.
the subs are terribly, terribly wrong. but the talk is amazing
Jordan Peterson would you please tell me the name of the art piece used as your motif as i am sure i have seen this before and has meaning to me yet a cannot think why .
I think that when we Make huge leaps in technology, that’s kin to throwing us into a large chunk of the chaos ( that we are actually only meant to have small scoops of). And if these period of time are accompanied by world leaders who aren’t capable of contorting that chaos into order effectively. We get lost in the chaos... makes me wonder.. Elon musk is trying to colonise worlds and we happen to have less than ideal world leaders.
I know it was aired in 2004, but does anybody know the year it was recorded in?
Does anyone know when this originally aired?
When I see the evolutionary origins of religion I can't help but feel foolish pondering atheism; it's kinda like when you first learn about Santa. Next it's time to put them in the balance and see what has weight.
so youthful!
I first heard Dr Peterson his podcast with Joe Rogan. And then I have been listening to his youtube videos, then I came to this and wondered how he looked when he was young. He looked gorgeous. I wonder if his female students had crush on him :D
Jordan makes the world make sense especially when you were taught BS for most of your school life.
Can anyone please tell me which year this course was taught by Professor Jordan Peterson?
someone mentioned at the end of the lecture the copyright date was 2004.
Is it me or does he seem way more subdued in these older lectures?
It was filmed for TV Ontario.
Frankenstein is not the monster, he is the Doctor.
“Frankenstein’s Monster” is the monster.
Get it right.
Surely the creator is the monster, no? If integrating the monster is the art-form, perhaps the thinking behind Frankenstein, the Dr, was that he wanted to bring into existence a physical being of his integrated monster. Therefore, the monster is merely an extension of himself. Just a thought.

Dear Dr. Peterson, I’m not sure if you personally have the time to read your followers comments or your assistants do that, what ever the case is I hope my message reaches you. I’ve been watching your videos recently, and in one of them you said that you’ve been studying Islam for 3 years and yet you are unable to understand the wisdom of it as you do with Jainism. You also mentioned that you didn’t contact any Muslims scholars yet. These are 3 scholars I would recommend to contact to assess you to understand Islamic wisdom too. They are well known and they are considered to be midstream Sunna and Shia Muslims
1- Prof. Tareq Ramadan, he is a philosopher and the Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Oriental Studies at St Antony's College, Oxford.

What year was this lecture series presented?
I think is 2004
I generally have a lot of time for JP (if only for his moral courage as an individual), but his opening analysis of medieval christian cosmology is incorrect here. The medieval view was not human-centric in this sense. In the Ptolomaic view he discusses, the outer heavens are divine and perfect, the earth at the centre of the cosmos was fallen and corrupt, inhabited by fallen humans (after Eden). At the centre of the earth, of course, was hell and the devil (read Dante or have a look at Boticelli’s paintings). The problem here lies in assuming that what is in the centre must be “the most important thing”. If so, then the most important thing in Christian cosmology is, well, hell and the devil. In truth, the Ptolomaic model was simply this: the apple is rotten at the core.
What year was this?
About 20 years ago
@@lewconstantine4888 i got it, it was 2004, thanks
Thank you for your contribution so introspect at times my head spins. I have been warned that you are anti-women, anti-gay. I dont find that at all, I believe your dedication to Jung, Freud, and science could have brought you to places some people cannot go. Your daughter is fantastic and helped my son and I with depression issues. Just curious what do you think of Wayne Dwyer? Im very fond of him.
Yeah exactly. There are bunch of extreme leftists or SJW however still allege Jordan Peterson is transphobic and misogynistic. However, it is not actually the case. He doesn't oppose LGBT and among of his audiences are gay people. What he fight against and criticize is the Bill-16 Criminal code because it violates free speech (one of the intrinsic law of our civilization). In addition, he also against 3rd new feminist movement that I think quite controversial to some people.
@@longvo6419 well, there is an update on that now, is it not?
