➤➤Transcript (Partial):
I had an interesting experience the other day. I went to The Keg. I go there because I have food allergies, and they’re very careful with people who have food allergies. The waiter took me to the table. He said that he’d been watching my lectures. That’s a very common experience. He said that he’d had two promotions at The Keg in the past four months because he’d been watching my lectures. I really found that an affecting experience. You might say, well, he’s working as a waiter at The Keg, and there’s nothing particularly heroic about that. I disagree with that, actually, because I don’t care where you’re located.
You can do a hell of a job. I mean that literally. You can take whatever job you have and make it a real nice little piece of absolute misery. Or you can act like a civilized human being and notice that, no matter where you are, there’s a richness and a complexity that’s completely inexhaustible, right at hand. And then you can take that seriously. You can say, well, I happen to be a waiter at The Keg. Perhaps that’s not what I expected-and he’s a young guy-and perhaps that’s not where I want to end up, but it’s not nothing. It’s a rich environment, and I can make it a lot better, if I want to. I can get along properly with my coworkers, and not gossip behind their back. I can treat my customers properly. And if an opportunity comes my way, I can take it, and I can see what happens.
He said that’s what he started doing. Things were working out much better for him. He was in a much better job than he was three months ago. In three months; that’s nothing. That’s a nice trajectory. It’s an uphill trajectory. That’s what you want, really. An uphill trajectory’s actually better than being somewhere good, as far as I’m concerned. One of the things that really makes your life meaningful is the clear realization that you’re heading somewhere better than where you are now. And then it’s even better if you also understand that there’s a direct causal relationship between the things that you’re doing and the steepness of that incline.
I get a lot of letters from people like that. They are most frequently young men, although not always. They say, I’ve been listening to these lectures, and I’ve decided that I’m going to try to take responsibility for my life. I started to stop doing all the stupid things that I know are stupid and that I shouldn’t be doing. I’ve started doing some of the things that aren’t stupid that I know I should be doing. It seems pretty obvious, really, if you think about it. But, obvious though it may be, that isn’t necessarily what people do. And then they write and say, you can’t believe what difference that makes. They’re thrilled about it, and so I’m thrilled about it.
I really don’t experience anything that’s better than a letter like that or a message like that. It’s so good to see things that aren’t so good replaced by something better...

Thank you so much. I find the visuals and music very distracting. I don't think Jordan's lectures need any editing. But I can see the good intention of trying to catch more attention
Thanks for uploading this but please please please stop with the music. Especially this stuff. Choose something different and make it quieter or just upload the lecture.
Yes, please stop trying to guide the emotions of your listeners! It is over the top and completely unnecessary since Jordan Peterson is speaking. It only takes away from his lecture :(
Much appreciated. Thank you :)
"The wise man regards the reason for all his actions, but not the result." ~Seneca The Younger~
The media calling this guy "dangerous" and a "nazi" and hateful exposes the insanity of our times.
Your comment elucidates the real goal of media, which is not ours; be sure about that.
Can you point out anything dangerous in this clip? Just listen and take it in... And then reg the other items if you do your homework I believe you'll find the following... - Reg trans ppl: The position is respecting trans ppl and supporting non-discrimination but objects to being forced to use certain language when talking to anyone. - Reg gender: He argues for the case of biological traits and intersectionality of diversity that takes away from "equal outcome" scenarios that focus on a single point of differentiation between people (gender). A good reference is the iceberg of diversity. I haven't seen any backup for the claim "anti-science"? - Reg climate change: He doesn't deny that it exists but rather argues that many problems exist and people should focus on their own sphere of influence rather than taking on overarching social causes that they don't understand or know how to solve. I find it hard to see him as dangerous but rather a very thoroughly thought out and outspoken person worth engaging with on an intellectual level. I don't necessarily agree with everything he says but it's far easier to just say "he's dangerous! Ignore him" vs actually finding that he's a capable intellectual that's challenging ideas which should be discussed and understood and worked towards in a measured fashion. Seems far more dangerous to alienate opposing thoughts with generalized exaggerated statements while pushing an agenda... As JP says, "give the devil his due"
@treydarling I'm sure it would be easier for you if any of what you said were true. But in fact you are making the case for the original poster.
@treydarling Shrouded, obscured, and possessed by your ideology. You clearly haven't listened to any of the content in Jordan's argument. You cant help but come across as a complete ignorant fool when you say stuff like Jordan Peterson is "against trans rights". And I dont mean that in a F you way, I mean it in a way were you should really listen to Jordan first and then say what you think of him, because it's clear to everyone that has bothered to listen that you dont have a clue.
Jake B I’ve listened to quite a bit of Jordan Peterson. He is an eloquent speaker and very educated, but in a narrow field that has a long history of being laden with pseudoscience. He often says very inspiring bits that are based on things we already accept and believe, but then smuggles in so much irrational paranoid bullshit. The disturbing phenomenon is not JBP himself, but the way his followers speak about him as if he is Allah - Shiva - Yahweh - David Fukin Koresh in the flesh - a God among men who will be reborn after being comatized ‘n’ victimized by those who would allow him to be drug addicted (I’m sorry... “physically dependent”) and make a number of irrational decisions that led to a medical emergency that most of us mere mortals would have avoided. Praise be upon him
One of 21st century's greatest thinkers.
He will be remembered as the one who warned us.
Fact. Imho I'd include Alan Watts in that list.
@Yermantonto hardly
Be careful about labeling pple and praising humans. Turns out he had a terrible addiction. Best wishes to him
Lillith Sternin could be dependence, a very different condition
The people who put him down haven't actually listened to him.
Or they're doing something like reading a great novel and not agreeing with one line, and then throwing away the entire book, and telling people that the book is horrible. First of all, if you do that with everything, then there is absolutely no single source of information on this Earth that you will listen to. We are too cynical nowadays. We cannot listen and get along with anyone because we are looking for a false perfection that doesn't exist. So I say: It's okay to disagree with someone on one or two things.
This man wants people to take accountability and stop blaming their problems on everything but their own actions. He wants people to think for themselves and not follow the herd. For the people who want undisciplined followers to be obedient to them, that is dangerous rhetoric. You can't control people with a strong will and the ability to think twice.
Tiktaalik r LuNaTiC
the mob
@Tiktaalik r Imagine being so sad that you go looking for videos like this just so you can insult a man for having a bad reaction to antidepressants.
I’m fascinated by beauty of his verbal aptitude.
@Tiktaalik r Where's the bullshit in what he said in this video?
@Tiktaalik r it made perfect sense. how did you not understand what he said?
To verbally articulate like that is total freedom.
You mean verbal diarrhea
@Tiktaalik r Derp.
One thing why I think Dr JP is so popular is the fact that he is so genuine and pure with his messages. Not trying to sell anything. Only telling the truth and his interpretation of life
He’s selling one thing, the possibilities of our potential. He’s not selling the typical ways, he’s encouraging us to buy into ourselves and who we can be by merely doing the menial trivial things that we often don’t even think about.
one of his 12 rules for life, always tell the truth
@Psychonaut Think critically, learn what you can and if you don't have something positive to say, at least shut up. This way you might have a chance of bringing some genuine happiness in your life.
@Psychonaut how bad are you hurting that you need to put other people down when they're already in a bad place. I can't believe people need to take time out of their day to do these things. It's so painful to watch. Thankfully Jordan Peterson is recovering and there will be good news soon. God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best!
@Psychonaut Nobody said he is perfect, nobody is perfect after all.. but that's why JP deserves even more praises because to be down, to be a faulty person.. but still have the power and the mindset to inspire good things and give support in such a way is even more admirable... It's easy to criticise, to hurt, to destroy..., try doing the opposite even when you're in a more comfortable position than JP, see how hard that is and then, but only then you can say anything. If you can't understand this, that means you just like to see the world burn for no reason therefore I'll leave you be and wish for you to eventually wake up. :-)
He is not the father that we have, yet he is the father that we need. I wish you good health Jordan.
@Psychonaut Some of us do mate
@Psychonaut Thanks bro I need it. Although I have never brought any of his advice, since a lot of it is available for free. And I don't think anyone has completely sorted themselves out, whatever that means. But I do find what he has to say useful and there arent many voices like him in the world right now so I think I'll continue to listen.
@Psychonaut we are the teachers and the students. We are on both side of the spectrum. We can help heal and need healing life is not black and white
@Psychonaut what does this mean bro?
@Psychonaut nothing in ur replies shows that u r a strong person
Jordan Peterson is a truly remarkable human being. His words affect me on a fundamental level, something I have never experienced listening to anyone else.
@PsychonautWhy would you guess that?
@Psychonaut Could you explain more?
I totally agree and have the same feeling.
Adrian Rowlands agree.. his ideas are hypnotic and genuine from the heart
The thing is, that he does the same to me too. But it is difficult for me to believe that because for years, I've wrongly deemed motivational speakers to be hocus pocus.
How could anyone not like this guy? Just a really smart dude who is trying to help people. Nothing wrong with that in my book and everything right with it.
@@charlesbourgoigne2130 I reckon the first video link you posted is actually quite impressive on JP's part. And his original issue didn't seem to be about the gay couple or what have you but about the baker being forced to take a job against his will. A point which there's a strong argument for initial argument for.
Charles Bourgoigne Peterson has never once said he “hates gay people” or anything like that, his issue with the legislature brought in to canada comes from him taking issue with the state deciding what can and cannot be said because it becomes a slippery slope when the government can decide whether you can be thrown in prison for using terminology they deem unacceptable and i dont mean hate speech, he also said for the record that he would call a transgender person in his class whatever they ask him to address them as
Collectivists hate individual freedom.
I miss him Hope he gets healthy
what?!?!
Fiji Water - He’s in rehab for addiction.
@@123mcgarrigle shit hope he get back on track
Fiji Water - Yeah, actually he just did a podcast with his daughter yesterday for the first time in like 9 months
Fiji Water kzhead.info/sun/e7CQl7qopKFnmGg/bejne.html
This man is something else
He is Gold for the Human kind
@@Justforthelulz8 derp
Hopefully he sees how God ain't helping now. We are all we got. Throw away fairy tales and actually come together and make the life easier for all
@@yourallbrainwashed Gold, not God.
@@yourallbrainwashed If you haven't been paying attention it is ok. We are not talking about the man in the fluffy clouds. It is the reality that you are stuck with, if you are a bad person you are in hell and it is not a surprise. If you are rude, people are rude back to you, if you are afraid, you become more fearful. If you are kind and caring other people CARE about YOU. When you are ready, on your own terms, you might want to consider looking at life from another point of view. I would say that the CHURCH has lost its way. Most people agree with that.
2 months ago I watched this, feeling inspired to get my act together at a job I otherwise hated Tomorrow I start my new promotion, filled with purpose and inspired to continue my life's progression. I owe it to this video
“The fragility is built in to the courage”
Exactly why Batman is more popular then superman
Jet Spencer I actually thought of Superman after he said that. I got to thinking... is Superman still not heroic? He doesn’t have to save people. He could be lazy or indifferent towards people in need of help, but instead he constantly saved lives. Superman could have even used his power for evil intentions. PS: I prefer Batman as well.
@@vitogrimes6006 yeah, but it's lame and boring. No one wants to see the hero of a story not struggle whatsoever. That's the whole point of cryptonite, to give fragility to superman.
This line hit me hard. ❤
Wow, I can feel that. Being fragile and still courageous is what living is. We just have to be honest about being fragile. Its ok.
He’s says all this like he’s saying it to his own kids, he takes it personally that he wants us to make a difference to ourselves and to the world. He believes we can make it to the best possible level for everyone. Then we need to believe this to
I do not recall who said this but I found it intensely accurate. It was something like this... “Do you want to know why so many young men are listening to Jordan Peterson? Because Jordan Peterson talks to them like they’re young men.” I believe he influences all sexes who listen to him yet I found that statement to be true.”
@@jadern thank you for that quote.
Not many people comfort us with the genuineness as Dr. JP does !
ILLUSORY BEATS i think it’s because a lot of people keep most of themselves “vague and foggy” as JP would describe it.
He's the greatest philosopher of our time
@@herpderp1122 hahahhahahahahhahahhahahhahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahhaa
JP's false path's . . Carlos Castaneda style . . the bible is;t philosophy . . it's allegory for truths Saturn was our original Birkeland current z pinch Sun Called Satan now . . people make me sick
I had a friend in college who had had a pretty rough start in life. Among other things, at 14 he came home from school and found his dad dead in the garage. He had shot himself and made quite a mess. My friend was a Russian immigrant, and his mother didn't speak much English, so at 14 he became the man of the house. He took a job as a bus boy at a local restaurant. By 16 he was effectively the assistant manager. One day a billionaire who occasionally visited the restaurant noticed him and decided to take him under his wing. My friend came from nothing and got himself a degree in business management from one of the top management universities in the country because at 14 he knew that even though he was a bus boy, he should still do that job well.
One of the wisest persons I've heard talk. At 41 years of age I feel the deepest respect for this man. A person worth knowing and talking to. Every single word. Every single second of his voice makes it worth it more to just sit for a longer period and just get as much from his words.
Give it a rest, try Tony Robbins
Don't put all your eggs in one basket, diversify your assets
LOL the wisest man you know is addicted to benzodiazepines
@@keypawn3024 Van Gogh was mentally and physically ill, ate paint, cut his own ear and killed himself... But are we about to pretend like that has anything to do with whether or not he was a great painter? No, because it's wholly irrelevant.
@@keypawn3024 how do you know he's addicted. And even if he is what does that have to do with his wisdom?
The king is back..... LONG LIVE THE KING .
@Psychonaut You are an oversimplifying person. May God bless you with some thinking abilities. Amen!
Only King is Jesus Christ of Nazereth. Ruler and creator of your life. But Dr. Jordan Peterson is the man
@Psychonaut It's definitely a thought provoking quote, guy, but tell me this: What's your point?
@Psychonaut But he isn't selling anything. All of his lectures and content is available for free online for young people like myself to use and learn from. Maybe because you're in retirement and you see things differently than us, but we really do listen to Peterson and his words.
@@YouArentThatImportant Amen
This man in part saved my life & my son's. Got to a point where I just collapsed, mentally and physically... Spiritually to I suppose. I've always been good to my Son, but I lost myself, & had a really hard time facing each day. Started listening to his lectures, & through that & my Son, (he's 10 now, but he's always had a lot of confidence in me even when I didn't) anyways, in about 8 months or so, everything changed, & now 2 years, it's even better. I'm living proof that if you can truly listen to Mr Peterson, & actually do the work, & never give up, your life will get better... Because you will get better.
😍 happy for you man
Nice one Luke, Well done mate. Inspiration comes from many places and Jordan Peterson is as good an inspiration as you can get, glad it is working out for you and your kid. Keep the faith
Luke Mehalick great post, Bless you and your son.
Love to see this man, wish you all the best.
❤️
"You're in a damaged structure, you're a damaged structure. You're in a damaged structure". When he said it the second time it took on a whole different meaning.
wow thanks you're right
Jordan Peterson's advice and wisdom made my life better. I am grateful every day for him.
The Vatican will have to declare him a saint inside a few hundred years, ST JORDAN
Boy do we need this in America today!
Not just America mate
I am rather old now but have everything I want and ever worked for. Throughout my life I pictured a stream of opportunities passing by. Some not so good and many pretty much equal to what I had, but I had to stay alert for when a truly good one appeared it had to be snatched, and by God I did every time. Even after devastating experiences that took it all away I would keep watching and gradually ratcheting myself back up. I say stay alert always, take a step that is upward, and never give up. Best wishes to all you youngsters, I give a little of my life advice with love.
Thank you for that.
Blessings and prosperity to you
Thank you
Thank you .
Jordan Peterson has transformed himself into the man that continually repairs the city. I whole heartedly appreciate his wisdom.
Just stay away from the benzos, and pneumonia, and covid 19 and George Floyd protesters... But definitely buy Bitcoin! Just a bit above 9000
"People denigrate the opportunities that are right in front of them." Nail, hit on the head.
Well,yes, if those opportunities don't seem to lead anywhere they want to go.
@@someonesomeone25 Well, that's the point! It's not always what you want so don't expect too much in life.
@@ninobusgano315 One can expect nothing and still be miserable.
I don't even know how many times I have watched all Jordan's videos, but I am so excited every time there is a new one
if he was born back in the day, people would call him a Prophet. His understanding of the world is so optimistic and profound. he helped me orient my life in a way that gives it deep meaning. i'll be grateful to this man forever.
That’s a little too far. What he says isn’t anything crazy or really knew. Its more about how he says it and how he shows our potential. If you sat down and thought about things as much as he does you’d come to the same conclusions on most things
@@sirmeurtrier6951 thats the thing. most people are too clouded in their victimhood to think about these things.
@@animeamazee Ngl it pisses me off. And then when you expose it to them in an attempt to help them they get mad and call you fake or "toxic"
@@sirmeurtrier6951 well yeah god forbid you criticize them
"Set a goal so big that you cant achieve it until you grow into the person who can". "You can have results or excuses. NOT BOTH". "Poor is what happens when the fear of losing becomes greater than the excitement of winning"
*I can never get enough of listening to the wisdom Jordan Peterson offers in his lectures. If people stopped and truly listened to his message without having any bias against the man, everyone would take something useful away from him. Truly inspiring.*
It’s time for us to pick up the weight Dr. Peterson has carried for all this time. His lessons have impacted us; there’s no doubt about it. It is now OUR time to inspire the world by using the tools this man has handed us. Let’s end the suffering.
What a guy...this is what it means...a gift to humanity.
I hope he comes back from this rough season in his life like a kind of Gandalf the White after battling the Balrog
I vibe this greatly
_"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us"_ - Gandalf to Frodo
Hahaha, I even pictured him!
After Anakin and lava? 😉
@@cassgruberman6425 Could it be that you dig it man? Is it groovy and far out
When I listen to Jordan Peterson, I find it startling that people as extraordinary as him even exist, although they are few. The man is a boon to mankind.
This almost brought me to tears.
It did...😔
His book brought me to tears many times. And I rarely ever cry
I remember when Christopher hitches died and I was so sad we lost such an important intellectual. I hope Dr Peterson makes a full recovery. We need him now more than ever.
God I miss him, he's much needed in this dark times.
Half my life is over. I slowly get a minimal understanding of life, and a certain understanding of history. Dr. Peterson has been a huge help on this journey. I hope he feels well very soon.
I love most things jordan peterson says, but I was always sceptical about this particular subject. Anyway I thought I'd try and change some things that I knew were wrong like being bitter and jealous towards work colleagues, not making enough effort at things etc. Well I can tell you my life has completely changed for the good and as soon as I started changing things it almost became natural. I am a better person. Thanks Dr Peterson
Can you go into a bit more detail? I feel like I'm in that same skeptical place... Some of this sounds too karmic to be easily accepted by my mind. ... But I sense that there is truth in there somehow.
@@breakingthemasks There are so many psychological elements to string together to understand this but as simple as possible... start with recognizing negative automatic thought ie. Boss asks you to do something, but they have already filled your day with a tonne of other stuff... you can either think "friggin' boss lumping me with all this shit, what an asshole" or you can think "damn this is hard, but the boss has trusted me to this task because they know I can do this". Start by re-framing every event in your mind to a more positive approach and you will automatically start thinking more positive or at least pragmatically about everything. Apart from this, consider reading 12 Rules for Life.. its cheap and set a goal of reading about one rule a night and there will be more there.
Arnold Rimmer, I salute you young man, arohanui from New Zealand.
You damn jealous loser! Go clean your bedroom! Lol Get a haircut! I've been using that last one at work for a while now... But seriously thanks for improving, when you get closer to those superior people and nip at their heels and even cause them to rise up another level to stay superior to you then you have really done a great thing! Those of great sportsmanship and competition with the highest respect for the losers below them will humble themselves sometimes and say that the second place person or team pushed them higher and made them achieve more... And that indeed is a noble effort for all the second place folks... And third place 😉 But fourth place people should never get a trophy 🧐 And then there's another approach from "searching for Bobby Fischer": Bruce : Do you know what it means to have "contempt" for your opponent? Josh : No. Bruce : It means to hate them. You have to hate them Josh, they hate you. Josh : But I don't hate them. Bruce : Well you'd better start.
I think this man has had more of a positive impact on people than he knows. Good video.
Jordan Peterson definitely leads by example when it comes to humility
This man comes to tears knowing someone has been impacted, having done a 180 on their life for the better. Truly genuine & sincere.
I wish he was an American so I could say Peterson 2020
But...he's not American :P
@PsychonautWho's your vote for 2020 then?
@Psychonaut i saw you in another comment section under this video arguing and you're here too?? Lol you really need help
@Psychonaut Well..well...well... Look who it is again ! You surely have some deep issues and need help. You know.. when 1 or 2 people tell you you need help, you can ignore them, but when 10+ people tell you the same thing.. I consider it's time for you to at least go home and rethink your life ... if not seek professional help ! You will be surprised of how many things are there besides hate and envy.... the hell, you might end up helping someone...
@Psychonaut lol please explain to me what indicates that i have comprehension issues in my previous comment and also that riot thing... What are you even talking about??
I am waiting for 30 June to hear the good news Mikhaila said.
She said this on Instagram?
@@senurarx99 yes!
thanks for letting us know
They are in Belgrade. I hope I run into them somewhere :D
@Psychonaut Peterson's advice can often be characterized as SORT YOURSELF OUT FIRST, and it becomes pretty obvious after a few videos that his primary aim is to help, not to manipulate so if that man, selling only that self-help writing program he wrote, AND these Lectures hall events... if that man is a clown and an addict, I'd like to see your definition of a decent human being who's also in the public eye
I feel like we all need Jordan now more than ever . .
"Flourish in a manner that makes them feel that the unbearable catastrophe of being is worth it for the experience" This changed me.
💙 💙
I feel when im listening to this gentleman he nails it an I understand the messages an its velar good.

Awesome Job Thank you please keep me in this loop changed my life!!
What an honor that we can listen to this man while he is still alive! He will go down in History as a brilliant thinker, an ideal to strive towards. May he live a long and healthy life!
I have nothing else than genuine love for this guy. This happened after watching his video's and reading his books. He is so damn brave and one of the few speakers who's mission is to be true to.. himself, all of his thoughts and feelings and humanity. In my book he is one of a kind for sure.
Caught myself thinking some real negative shit today and this video came across my feed. Good reminder that you are always behind the wheel, no matter how shitty the road is.
This is such an underrated channel. They should be showing these videos in schools everywhere
STOP! You’re scrolling before you finished the video. Make it full screen.
BEEEEEP! Sorry, but thanks for playing.
Oh man, he talks in a way that you can feel the urgency in the massage and it really hit us deep.
Let's all send positive thoughts of goodness & healing toward Dr. Peterson. I miss him.
The entire foundation of our lives and societies is the subject here, beautifully explained.
I shared this on facebook, if everyone would do this imagine how things could change for the better. Thank you Jordan!
100% agree. . If everyone adopted this mindset the world would be an amazing place. .
This is a lecture about the courage of being Batman.
Damn. Straight up haha I'm laughing thinking of rewatching this and thinking of it being a big rant about batman
Unironically yes but it's not only about batman lol
We are all so blessed to hear your words!!❤❤
This hit so hard. I want to be good, I want being good to be my aim, I want nothing else than to create goodness. And hell, it IS worth all the trouble, the pain, the loneliness, the unbearable thought of not knowing what's next. It is worth the courage. The courgage to make your father proud, to push yourslef to the absolute limit of what a man can do, to fight like a lion, but then cry your eyes out because of all the beauty, humanity and meaning you encountred on that journey. Cry for the love you recieved, for the love you gave, the kisses, the tenderness, the understanding. Cry until no more tears can justify the grace of being alive.
I wish more people saw Jordan Peterson for the good, kind and genuine man that he is, rather than falsely accusing him of horrible deeds and labelling him as an evil person simply because they are less genuine than he is.
Jordan Peterson has become one of the great gifts of a loving God to those who aren’t doing well. I say this knowing he doesn’t identify as a religious man. Point being: God can use anyone to deliver His message of love - even an Atheist (though Peterson isn’t one).
@rross27 Atheism existed long before communism, and the real problem is usually authoritarianism, anyway. You can have an absolutist monarch or something of the kind you believe reigns in the name of god, or you can have an authoritarian, autocratic government that is full of (technically non-religious) ideology. Decent states usually take the high road of secularity mixed with a bit of humanism. The country that is most neutral to peoples personal beliefs is usually the one that has the highest standard of living.
@rross27 Humanism is, like atheism, a concept that existed long before Marx was even born. It is - like atheism or religion - a very broad concept that is not rooted in Marxist philosophy - through Marxist philosophy might be described as rooted in and having influenced modern thought on humanism. Humanism does not even have to be non-religious and can be highly influenced by religious values. Also: The guy in that video might be a secularist, but this is like condemning Christianity by showing a video or something of one of those modern prophets who claim that the end is near. It is a strawman-argument in this conversation because I never made such claims and this sort of behaviour is not a distinct or necessary feature of secularism. Secularism is, by the way, only the separation of church and state. In the same way that atheism is just the absence of belief in a deity. So your arguments should be more rational than condemning a whole school of philosophy based on subjectively bad examples of it.
@rross27 So... you are trying to tell me that tell me that separation of church and state is bad because communists wanted it? That is like saying Christianity is bad because it was used to justify witch hunts and crusades. There are, by the way, many points in which socialism and the teachings of Christ align just naturally well. Because God's rewards in Jesus stories are usually not earned. The story of the lost son is just one example for that. Or that a rich man has the same chance to go to heaven as a camel to ho through the hole in a needle. One must also keep in mind that "communism" quickly came to mean just another form of authoritarian government that is not actually communist in the sense that Marx would describe communism. Russia or China are not actually communist - just like the GDR was not actually a democracy. The problem with communism is rather that it is practically impossible to achieve rather than that the idea itself is morally degenerate. And now, if you don't mind, tell me what "atheism really is".
He is a Christian and he speaks about it.
@@vj9580 Doubt it since he's said he don't believe in a god but does act as if one exists.
The majesty of life and the competence hierarchy!
Thank sir, started reading your book. And I'm connected with so many things that I learned and paid no attention too. Now I really love my God and my father, my peers. These things, reminders has made me grow and reflect this God given right to reflect his qualities.
12 rules to life.
@Psychonaut I feel you! That's the great thing about being human, just like the pet thingy. We can take better care of others rather than ourselves. But thanks for your opinion.
God Bless! Stay strong, stay safe and take care of yourselves! Wishing everyone the best!
@Psychonaut Bro you keep copy pasting the same thing and while you may have some points, at the same time this does not negate any of the good a man like peterson has done through his words and wisdom. We live in a society that when someone fails or makes mistakes we take them and put them in a pile that says "wuss, coward, clown, etc." This happens all the time and I need you to know that you are truly not doing any amount of good by doing this and contributing to a very real problem in the world. And no, I'm not projecting anything into you, and I also don't listen to "truth" coming from someone with only 6 subs and zero content.
@PsychonautOkay, how about this, I'm a reporter. I listen and ask questions for a living. What do you do for yours? I really dont understand what you have against him ASIDE from what you keep posting.
this man made all my hardships meaningful! now I'm way more clear about life
I’ve listened to countless hours of Jordan Peterson on KZhead. One thing I’ve noticed is that he’s never repeating himself. He’s always effortlessly finding new ways of expressing information, in a well spoken and meaningful manner. So impressive!
‘It’s ok to not be in a very good place if what you are trying to do with that not very good place is make it better’ - So simple but so true.
Listening to this learned man is a blessing in itself.
Finally, somebody realised Jordan's Peterson words should be written down while he speaks as he speaks very fast. Great job. It's been easier for me to follow this video and his speach.
Wish I could Tell Jordan how much he’s changed and save my life
"The unbearable catastrophe of being" - what a great phrase. No greater truth than truth itself - because we are all in that same dilemma and trying to fight our way around in it or (inside) out of it. Good luck, everyone. Peace be unto you.
I love this man. Like a father figure.
So true 🙂
He is amazing. Such a gift , how he can talk . His delivery is do easy to listen to . Never hesitates ? Thoughtful and empathetic , I am a Christian a d a believer and I learn so much from this man I have no idea if Jordan Peterson is a believer but he has been blessed with gifts 🙏
St Jordan will not be mocked! Genuflect!
"makes them feel that the unbearable catastrophe of being is worth it for experience" Wow, that one got me.
His use of words is incredible!
You cannot hold a negative thought while simultaneously saying "I am RESPONSIBLE"
I AM
Eh, you can accept responsibility for improving your life while still accepting that others played a large role in fucking it up.
when you are flirting with death you sure can do that.
? I can ?
I feel more inspired and courageous from listening to these lectures. They are a true blessing.
My heart strengthens when I hear (and feebly attempt to embody) your words. JP I’ve been listening to you for over 2 years, bought many copies of your book and your words continue to make me a better mother and a better all around human in the world. I thank you. 🌹👊🏼👍
Ive listened to this man for over a hundred hours over the past couple years but this clip is premium af
Ikr
What an amazing man.
Yes everything always paid off at the very end no matter what job or career you are on. Dicipline and hardwork always paid off. Everyday is an opportunity.
"Majesty of being" the phrase that summarize the main theme of this talk and better caption
Dr. Peterson's words have encouraged me to face life in a way I never did before, knowing that even suffering can have a meaning, and that I can do more and be more, I've quit drinking, waking up late or finding excuses to avoid responsibility, cause I know I can transform chaos into good for me and this world. Many people misjudge Dr Peterson, but they should stop and listen, because he's changed the world for good.
Interesting, I am listening to Dr. Peterson and is so uplifting, there is so much truth in his wisdom and I can't not notice sometimes the thumbs down by some who did not achieved I suppose anything in this life, or is just jealousy.
A clinical psychologist is a Dr. of medicine
Inspiring! Everyone who feels they are not on the right path in life needs to watch this daily.
What a feeling of stability I encounter when I hear words of truth. JP. Simply brilliant. Thank you.
That was a symphony of a lecture...amazing. We need this man so much right now....
Thank you for that video, it really deeply affected me in a very positive way, i really needed that for where iam in life. Thank you editor and thank you dr peterson
JP has saved my life, and will help me make it. I aim to thank him one day.
i’m so grateful for videos and for channels like this, and for people like jordan peterson. if you’re in a certain, uncertain headspace then videos like these can really feel like a warm blanket and a light in the dark. i think it’s admirable that for whatever reasons, this man and a lot like him chose careers in handing people the tools needed to guide themselves through the most daunting chapters of their lives
Listening to this man has changed my life.
“Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.”
I love your channel, thank you for all of the edits, love Jordan Peterson!
We're very lucky to have Jordan Peterson. An intellect that drags order from chaos.
exactly! honesty goes a long way.
Every time I listen to Dr. Peterson talk, I get a long form explanation of " You cannot change the world, but you can change yourself"
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Jordan Peterson is a sane voice in insane times.
I love this ones. It's going in a playlist, I will be listening to it everyday, several times, like others of his, as I unknot the meanings for me in my own life and a set of new challenges I am facing, and old ones that continue. Thank you, Mr. Peterson.
Thank you, Dr P & WTTW. Thank you.
When I was a kid in the 70 s we lived near the border of Mexico and my family would dine at nice restaurants there. It always amazed me that the waiters there at the time treated there job with the same seriousness and artfulness as a surgeons.
Agree. The careerist narrative of "get promoted at all costs or you're a loser" has defiled the artistry of thousands of jobs which we take for granted.
I hope there's no art in surgery! Just science!
Can't believe so many people don't know this. I have always thought about this since when I was 19yrs old and confirmed this after my first major life crisis at 31yrs old. It's the basis of the meaning of life. Now I just reached 40 and absolutely love my life and it's all possible because of this belief Dr.Peterson been preaching, this is actually more important than any religion believe me I know. Love this man and what's he doing for the world 🦸♂️👍👍
