Jordan Peterson Q&A at Cambridge's Caius College
Watch the lecture preceding this Q&A here - • Why Free Speech is the...
Recorded at Caius College on November 22, 2021.
Dr. Peterson recently traveled to the UK for a series of lectures at the highly esteemed Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. This was the Q&A after the first of said lectures.
After some remarks on Cambridge’s beauty and rich history, Dr. Peterson examines the significance and history of clinical psychology. Drawing from the likes of Carl Rogers, Freud, Maslow, and Jung, this lecture investigates free speech, the value of structure, ways to approach mental illness, Jordan’s clinical experience, active listening, relationships, and the golden rule for conflict management.

I think the quality of the audience's questions combined with their civility made this Q & A session especially enjoyable. Thank you Dr. Peterson and Cambridge.
@@kaivogel253 what u wrote is BS, and lets leave it at that.
@@kaivogel253 I’m guessing you’re a bot
It was really lovely. All the best in life.
This "Kai" thing is precisely who Peterson is referring to as counter productive to all that is good for a civilization to carry on.
@@kaivogel253 "many many things" you sound as articulate as Donald Trump but nowhere near as funny
“Your actions are guided by love and your words are guided by truth”. Simply remarkable
So beautifully said...❤
Inspirational!
@@roundtabledetails3307 shutup karen
Remember that love is a mere obtainment ...from there all things are possible...Wisdom without love can and is dangerous...The old saying of a ''wiseguy'' is that very thing..being wise without love creates a tyrant.
6:18 is great too.. wish he was my therapist, cant imagine how expensive he is 😂
“Your actions are guided by love and your words are guided by truth” perfect ending. Well done! JP
I choked up too listening to his concluding remarks
@@josephgold208 sorry but I think you're wrong, he didn't continue because he was clearly choked up by that simple but unsaid thought "wouldn't it be amazing if everyone's actions were guided by love and thier words guided by truth" - because this simple phrase is what Jordan has been striving for for most of his life, and now in recent years striving to get that message out to others before it's too late.
My next tattoo right here

Dr Peterson is one of the few people who can combine evolutionary biology, philosophy, literature, clinical psychology, religion, and spirituality in a meaningful way that preserves and honors the contributions of each. Profoundly beautiful talk at the deepest level.
Excellent observation.
Well said I appreciate your comment, it made me think more deeply about Jordan Peterson if that was even possible LOL
Peterson preserves and honors such intellectual contributions as much as a sausage-maker preserves and honors their ingredients.
@@futurememories1660 If it still taste good, he must have succeeded! As horrific as the process of sausage making may be,.. we still choose to eat it because it's enjoyable.
@@davidhunt7427 And therein lies the problem.
Not only does he answer a question, but he gives an answer that is more than we knew that we were asking for.
he's so smart. the first question & answer.... he should work in government, as an advisor.
@@johnd3124 I respect Dr. Peterson so much, but there is no shot in hell any government would take him. He is too wise, and arguably too critical
What a beautiful line. "You should be afraid of contaminating your soul with deceit."
It’s interesting because I felt a bit conflicted lately about spending too much time listening to his lectures. I mean, I could use the stimulation intellectually speaking. Just feel a bit troubled about being yet another person placing him on a pedestal. Getting swept up with everyone else singing his praises sorta thing. Albeit I’m sure he worked tirelessly for the adulation he receives. I don’t have any real reason to be hypercritical of JP. In some ways I feel as though I may diminish the ability of others I listen to consequently creating fuel for rivalry. Leading to jealousy and a culture of combative comparative rhetoric. Essentially, I’m here for me and not because of some inadequacy at another podcast.
@@the2ndcoming135 One can appreciate JP's remarkable intellectual output while recognising some of its limitations. He attempts to extricate us from the confusion that reigns in the Western world today due to the materialistic ideology of the left that unduly dominates its cultural landscape.
@@rareword yeah, I noticed that. Part of the reason why I hang around, yet limit my interaction in the comments. I have my own personal criticisms along the same lines. I would imagine that most of us here, from what I’ve observed through comments, is because we’re mostly in agreement with Dr. Peterson. To whatever degree or extent we’ve aligned ourselves with his train of thought. It’s come to my attention that this is one of the few podcasts of which there isn’t an excessive amount of focus on the back and forth of clashing ideas or ideology.
A very true quote. I’ve found that even when I tell a small lie for the sake of keeping the peace, it feels like a piece of myself has crumbled away. It’s an awful feeling.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When a slave commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. But if he give it up, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart will be cleansed, but if he repeats it, (the blackness) will increase until it overwhelms his heart.
I feel the troubled whole world is receiving free healing clinical sessions given by Jordan Peterson. God bless this man !
I wholly agree with you. He is simply amazing.
@@roundtabledetails3307 keep quiet karen
Absolutely!
Agree wholeheartedly 💜
@@roundtabledetails3307 yep. Unlike you.
❤️ *Never in a million years did I ever think I could be so enthralled by someone so much, I'm often moved to tears every time I hear his voice begin to shake - when he's expressing genuine emotion over the lives he has changed.* 💜 ❤️ *If there is ANYONE in this world I should be so honored to meet before my days are over, Jordan Peterson will always be at the top of my list!* 💜
listen to Tim Winter (Sheikh Abdul Hakim Murad) then
@@kehkashanshabeer7026 I don't think so.
I totally agree
Me too thank you
Well he is trying to give (I believe) everyone the tools to happiness. I have always Well sometimes been a good listener. But when he stated just listen it really is that simple I was very happy. It doesn't take much. Yet you do get so much out of it. If a person is willing to share their personal feelings/thoughts with you they obviously respect your opinions. That is such a compliment.
I'm only 10 minutes in but for me this is JP back to his best!
This is 5 months old too.
I was thinking the same thing
@@kaivogel253 Based on your comments, I have realized: -You are stupid. -You have high time preference; you waste 10x more time than I have on this comment every day, debating in vain of your ideas. -If your ideas were good, you would start a blog or a KZhead channel on your own, instead of leeching off a channel with millions of subscribers -If this is an elaborate troll it has satisfied others more than yourself, as your morale has been crushed by other commenters debating you, whether you admit it or not. After the smoke clears, it is others who have moved on, laughing at your absurd troll idea, while your committed troll has done nothing good for anyone, even yourself, as others have derived more pleasure from mocking you, and this pleasure is greater than yours, as it yours comes from nowhere of integrity. Your motives: -Are not to inform or enlighten anyone of your ideas, not engage in honest debate -You try to bait people into arguments (such as these) and once people reject your fallacious premises you use clown foolery to take heat off, and dance around counterarguments instead of confronting them (because you can't) -You are a troll and you gain happiness with a (false) feeling of moral superiority over others with more intellect and testosterone than you. My predictions: -You will childishly claim victory in this argument -Even if you "really" won the argument because your idea is some groundbreaking genius, you will never implement it, and you will die with an even inferior legacy than those who you have "beaten" in an argument. -You will continue only listening to other statist grifters such as yourself, and never leave your religion -You may change and realize how foolish you are, but your intellectual redemption will not be due to critical thinking, but due to the expression of shame that you have delayed hitherto.
and thank all that’s good for that!
@@kaivogel253 Yet you still watch lol
"You say free speech has fallen out of fashion, its like has thought fallen out of fashion?" - so profound Dr. Peterson
Sad thing is there are governments and parties that think that if you think you too much you are a danger.
"We have a map and we need to get someplace. But maps are out of fashion. I guess we're not getting anywhere."
@@kaivogel253 Crack isn't good for ya man
@@kaivogel253 Google Maps IS A MAP. Just saying. (It appears you've already pooped yourself in this comments section.)
You can’t believe the benefit you’ve brought to me and my husband, our kids, 15 and 16! We speak about you and your work at dinner, they mention you, they hear your KZhead sessions in the background and say, Oh, Jordan Peterson! I thank you as many many many others do, and will meet you one day! Hopefully you come to Israel soon. Let me know if we can help somehow! Much love from Israel to you, Tammy and the kids! PS - Please!!!!! A book for teens!!! They NEED your wisdom!

@@JordanBPetersonThey weren't wrong when they called you a Rabbi. :)
I love how the Petersons travel as a whole family. It totally warms my heart.
@@mamiluisamia of course they pay him. You don't get to be around important people for free. They pay him or he does it from his pocket as a serve to duty. K imagine it's a bit of both. Pay for his travel and food etc

@@xillcy5980 Ah yes, must be so, thanks. And yeah, good for him if he gets deserved compensation.
@@joshi6898 true.
Jordan Peterson is never glib in his answers, but always gives a careful and thoughtfully constructed response. He’s an individual who makes us think deeply about ourselves and our role in life. His analysis of human behaviour opens a door for all us in understanding social, domestic and work relationships.
He really does actually think about what he says before he says it..... very mindful.
@@robbieanderson649 that’s the most boomer response ever 😂
@@robbieanderson649 If you think thats all young people worry about I'd have to say you're quite wrong about that
@@songsthatarecatchy 。
@@robbieanderson649 Like a glass of clear clean refreshing water when surrounded by toxic sludge.
Another wonderful lecture. And how moving it is to see JP’s wife and daughter in the front row just fixated on his every word and move. And how many times must they’ve seen his talks… and still they’re at full attention. So beautiful to see that love and support.
Perhaps they only get a food pellet when they pay attention!
I wondered this too.
@@stewartanderson6560 hahaha! I hope all the Petersons get to read this! I think they'd get a great kick out of it!
I think partly because he mixes it up every time every talk he gives is different he can't adjust hes different he kind of just goes along in the moment.. That's so much easier to listen to than if you're doing it doing it as a comedy routine and every word is the exact same
He often says his life would not be possible without his wife and children. Both his daughter and wife can tell we hen he's not doing well before he notices it and he relies on it.. There are times where his family tells him "no, you need to dial it back; this is too much". God I'd kill to have such a meaningful life together with my spouse and children
this guy is like the phoenix bird. he continues to develop and perfect his skills and knowledge. even after catastrophies in his life. definitely one of the influential people of the 21st century.
Ironically they knew he was dangerous to the great reset and tried to cancel him by firing him, thrusting him into popularity.
Yes he sure is isn't he, what a beautiful thing in these days. So many so called elites and world leader can't stand it because he doesn't devide us.
@Jay Z Exactly right. If they had just left him alone. He would still be an unknown Canadian professor. By trying to bully and make an example out of him. They created a monster. They do more to hurt their own causes, than anyone who opposes them could ever do.
A titan … not a monster.. but I think I get your drift 😊❤
It's amazing how wonderful discourse can be when both sides are allowed to speak and both respect one another.
I just have to admit, his thought to words, and delivering speech are flawless.
@@kaivogel253 Which part do you think is rambling incoherent? can you tell the exact time in the video? I just want to know.
@@kevinkim7849 To be better equipped to process Peterson allow me to recommend the article: The Intellectual We Deserve by Nathan J. Robinson, the Sam Harris podcast with Peterson: "#62 - WHAT IS TRUE?" and Peterson's debate with Matt Dillahunty on KZhead. All is a freely available on the web. Sorry KZhead doesn't seem to let me post links.
@@kevinkim7849 starts around the 1:33 minute mark! If you have never had the pleasure of one on one’s with some of the true intellectuals of the past 3 decades, well then how can you inject a true unbiased assessment of Jordan? Every man women and child has had weakness in their life! Realized weakness is how YOU overcome! YOU! Searching for validation is the epitome of weakness!

He reminds me of a rebellious uncle that prods your mind to uncover the real you, much to the dismay of your parents. But that's exactly what you've been waiting for grown ups to do, treat you like a complex, dangerous and beautifully designed creature not some puppet that can be told what to think. Love this man.

36:52 "Your rights are not a social construct" ombodies everything this man fights for. Great Q&A by the students and Dr. Peterson.
All I could think, as you ended the session was, "Someone please give this man a decent hug!" Thank you for being your authentic self. 🙏
The only problem with this video is that I can only press the like button once. What an extraordinary q&a session. Bravo!

“I learned to be afraid of the right thing..” Love that.

JP was on fire in this Q&A. I expected a stand ovation, I had to perform one by myself after watching this!
It's incredible right? The lecture followed by this Q&A is just a joy. So satisfying.
I believe people actually forget to do that out of awe. Thats rellay heppened here.
he is the fire
My God what a lovely crowd. I wish I could meet more people like this, it's increasingly hard for me to find anyone pursuing truth.
Tomorrow I begin with my first job. Thank you for your teachings Doc. Once you opened my eyes to your understanding of hell and heaven, I have found honesty within myself to navigate life and that has seeped into my daily interactions with everyone I meet and know. I listen carefully and I pay attention to the actions of both myself and others. As I practice it more, I experience an increasing sense of profound appreciation for life during the good and the bad times. I used to lack presence in my own life and now I am more present than ever. It has led me to this moment. I am truly grateful. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Good luck, man. You got this.
Wonderful comment. Just remember his point that to become a master, you must be willing to be the fool. Everyone working somewhere had a first day. Even when it’s a new job but one is experienced? Familiarity lends to confidence very quickly. On the second day, there’s basic knowledge and orientation that’s comforting. Route Parking Names of people and things Particulars Location of restroom Lunch routine It’s unbelievable how many things are processed and stored, most of which never have to be learned again. And everyone who works there knows the anticipation and eagerness of being the new person. There’s usually enthusiasm by some who empathize and relief by everyone that more help has come. Just pay attention and know that anxiety is expected for a reason. You care about making a good impression and what others think? GOOD! You should care. They’re significant and this applies to everyone! God bless
Congratulations bro :)
Good luck brother i wish you well on bettering yourself
@@juniorvonclaire3576 All the best and congratulations!
I don’t know why this made me so emotional. I think because it was so profound. Dr Peterson is such a deep thinker and his ability to communicate those thoughts is immeasurable. Thank you so much for this.

I want to express my deep gratitude to Jordon Peterson for his kindness and generosity in sharing his podcast for free. I feel so very encouraged and I'm learning so very much how to be a better version of myself. I want to further express my gratitude for sharing his life's work which is helping to evolve the world. Sharing your brave thoughts reveals a depth of great courage and truth and we are so lucky to have you available on the world stage. You come for a place of goodness and love and I send you my heartfelt kindness to you and your family.
Peterson is an absolute legend, and deserves to be treated as one.
Firstly, show me what exactly has he stated is an absolute fact. Secondly, show me the evidence that supports a different conclusion

39 year old here from Beirut, Lebanon. And Thanks to Dr Peterson my life is going on the right track. His reach is for people all over the globe - hope he stays healthy and safe.
@Ben Sasha hang in there man keep the fight up
He is like a father for the fatherless.
Unbelievable Q and A. Jordan Peterson is one of the greatest minds in human history. I feel blessed to be alive in these times to hear and see him speak about such profound topics. Thank you. ❤️
not really, pls read more
Stunning. Profound. Brilliant. Helpful. Practical. Wise. THANK YOU.
@Roundtable Details Did he not use your self proclaimed pronouns? Where did the bad man hurt you, LOL 😂
@@roundtabledetails3307 you like the attention don't you. Learn to cook or something. What you say is just such rebellious nonsense
I listen to a church talk that encouraged making positive sincere comments at home. I did this with my mom, praising her for making my favorite meal and making a big deal (Note: This was an honest expression, not a fake one. She was really a good cook!). So considering after all the years we took her cooking for granted, boy, did she light up and appreciate this complement, and afterward talked excitedly about how she appreciated it. Little things can make positive differences in the home, as Peterson says.
I've read a piece on classical music, on that the pleasure of the non monotonous, the surprise of the unexpected turn of the music is what brings pleasure to the listener with the logic. Well listening to Peterson speak has a very similar for me anyway.
One of the things I enjoy too. The parlance combined with common sense approaches but with expert knowledge so it isn’t generic, lip service.
When he answered the question about "the soul," I immediately thought of the massive amount of emotion that good music can evoke. Whether a person is religious or atheistic, it pretty hard to deny the existence of something akin to what we call the soul when you listen to an amazing piece of music.
“Your actions are guided by love, and your words are guided by truth.” Excellent.
I’ve listened to Jordan for years. This was beautiful. Well done Doc.
Props to the man at the who acknowledged Jordan's graciousness to come to Cambridge after how the institution treated him. Jordan could've easily said screw you to Cambridge and take his business elsewhere.
A lot of people are able to articulate complex ideas but only the words of someone truly engaged in a conscious and sincere effort to liberate his or her soul have weight..God bless you Dr Peterson..
JP is looking sharper then ever here.. brings me joy seeing that considering what he has been through in the past few years..
What a Q&A. It's such a crazy opportunity to tune into these levels of discussion. It really was a treat to see the utilization of abstract concepts - but I guess decades of dialectic discourse gets you there. Great audience as well. This is peak competency and judicious qualification. Hats off to Dr. Peterson.
How can you make the whole argument like that and finish it with such a pearl : Your actions are guided by love and your words are guided by truth. And to make it even better the argument was about incredible feats that make people stand up and cheer and this one sentence gripped everyone so hard that they stood up and cheered! Its like a self fulfilling truth. amazing, sharp and really well thought through answers told like stories to viking brothers by the fire. How can you not love this or at least enjoy it.
I think many young people are still 'foibling' their way through the process of cynicism. Hopefully they save most of that until they are far older.
How can I not love this? Because I know better than you. The rascal is a mercenary monster...using concepts and ideas already thought of by hundreds of others and written into books authored by them (most of them dead now, and ironically most of these dead ones are basically from "The Left" Jordan actively despises!) and palming them off on you gullible fools as "original thinking" of his. Funny how he's made his fortune off of empty headed nitwits on "The Right" in search of answers and "Holy Grails" with out a ghost of a clue as to who's actually right or wrong on whatever is said by anyone.
@PabloMaster great observation! Adds another layer of depth to what was already a compelling show
“Your actions are guided bye love and your words are guided by truth”. A statement like this is why you’re revered. Amazingly succinct, profound, helpful, loving, and wise. I wish I had the words to show my appreciation for what you said.
Cannot get enough of his wisdom ✨️ 👑
It only takes one brilliant man like this to finally make people stop and actually think about how they view others and the world around them. The most important lesson I take from his talks is listening to others to understand their view points even if you don’t agree with them. I never went to university and if someone like myself can take such a key idea from his talks why is it so many with higher education refuse to do so also or even entertain the idea. I wonder at times whos more educated in the world
Because the matter you are referring to has more to with one's character, not one's education. I'm with you, high school graduate, and in my 40s, and it has been divine intervention and decades of failures to finally realize stuff like unhealthy pride, personal responsibility, humility, love and respect, etc...
Jordan Peterson will be quoted by society for many decades. A true intellect and a pleasure to listen to as he makes us all more self aware of our own insecurities and issues that need addressing.
Professor Peterson, the way you spoke about Jesus in your book the 12 Rules for life brought tears to my eyes. Thanks so much. Absolutely beautiful, inspiring words.
Hi there do you have a link for it thanks 🙏
I'm sorry, he cuts up students writing at the 15-minute mark but his writing style is poor and book needed much editing of his long-winded rambles and disjointed approach. I personally find him lacking much concise eloquence in his writing,
"Your actions are guided by love and your words are guided by truth", his spirit manifest's in emotion. What a closing statement!!! 🥰
The answer to the question about the protection of freedom of speech and conservatism at 50:12 is one of the best answers I've ever heard. Bloody good job explaining the importance of protection with the implementation of change using the stories of Egyptian Gods. Pure brilliance.
The one thing I truly appreciate above all else is that what Dr. Peterson is providing in these lectures, q&a's, and podcasts, is essentially information/knowledge gathered not just during his own life experience but others as well, many thousands if not trillions of other lives lived during the totality of human existence. That is something to be truly appreciated and learned. The fact that he is providing this information"free of charge" by his own means is what used to be an exclusivity to those that seeked knowledge in these realms of tuition that would otherwise be unavailable to the masses is very special. I only wish more of the world could see, hear and appreciate the knowledge he has to share the same way I do.
There's only been 117 billion people to ever exist, unless there are other planets full we don't know about. Just a fact check there sir
Maybe scale back on the trillions. Theres a lot of us buggers, but we don't multiply like insects.
Please stop sucking JBP off so hard, his opinions are contradicted by the life experience of those who disagree with him. All he has is a bunch of anecdotes followed by faulty analysis which is why only layman's think he's profound... His peers think he's somewhat of a joke. Remember, he never got famous for his body of work, he got famous for lying about an anti-discrimination law in Canada.
@@sawyeratkinson he's just adding in the extra dimensions.
@@meandab - You made me laugh out loud...for real!
It really makes you wonder what Cambridge was afraid of all along. This bastion of human kindness is a positive influence wherever he speaks.
Treasure to humanity.. that's what this man is. I've re-watched this four times and I find myself exploring different thought spectrum each time all over.
Wow this man. I watch him and listen like a great film. Spellbound and in awe. Learning, growing and becoming wiser with every word. He is a true gift to mankind although to those who do not love the truth he is a curse. My week is unfulfilled without at least 4 hours spent with Jordan and now even his daughter and wife step up to the plate and I listen to them also. A true vessel of Jehovah whether he knows it or not. A true blessing to us all whether we know it or not. There are not many truly great men. But he is for sure one and he will have a high seat in the kingdom of God that is for sure.
You can feel the love and hope this man is willing to give to humanity leaving his body coming through the T.V. straight to my heart.
We need more people like Dr. Peterson in this world.
people just gotta read a lot a Jung and Nietzsche and love to talk haha
Thomas sowelle
6 minutes into the conversation and he throws out one of the greatest pieces of wisdom of all time. "The greatest enemy that you ever fight with is within your own heart"
I'll have to listen to this carefully at least 3 or 4 time before I can truly grasp and appreciate the depth of thought that Jordan Peterson displays for all of us all. He is 100% one of the greatest intellectual minds that I have ever heard and his lessons have changed my life dramatically and in the most positive ways.
Am most grateful to have found this podcast such amasing guidance and wishing to share as have found it realy helpful just love listening to JP. Wish had come across when I was younger, as my life could have possibly worked out much differently.
I've been listening to Dr Peterson for years now and I am still amazed at the depth and breadth of his knowledge and his ability to convey it.
have you also seen him struggle with simple philosophical concepts in his conversations with Harris and Zizec? It surprises me that peope still consider Peterson "smart", eventhough it is obvious how emotionally and ideologically charged his takes are...
@@karimshebeika8010 so you listened to that whole lecture and your take away is that he is not "smart" and that he is "ideological"? I guess we were listening to something completely different.
Watching content like this gives me hope for us, and the internet. Thank you JP
Dr Peterson’s answer to the question about the soul was brilliant!
All of these talks and conversations have been some of the most profound work of words I have ever heard from Jordan Peterson and what a great audience. In my opinion this has been one of the most important conversations of our time.
It’s always great to listen to Jordan transform a Q and A into a lecture.

The host's words at the end of the Q&A are true, humble and heartfelt. Dr Peterson is indeed a man above all men, a soul above all souls. Welcome back, Dr Peterson!!!
He is right about serving others to come out of depression. As someone who was feeling lost and depressed and doing cocaine every other day I found a lot of happiness and fulfillment out of volunteering at a local food shelter and helping others. That helped me more than anything.
So much wisdom has been shared in this session!
Nothing to say other than that this was brilliant. I was educated to be a militant atheist but I am trying to find some flexibility and understanding for religious belief. I understand, in great part thanks to you, how complicated of a subject it is and I don't simplify it anymore. Thanks to how articulate your explanations are, my own understanding and thoughts on this subject and others are becoming also more articulate.

You should just challenge yourself a little more. My advice would be to listen to this very same Q&A again to catch what you've missed to make that connection. Thereafter you should be hungry to listen to more and then it all just progresses upward from there if you really care.
Hello … I’ve made the journey from Atheist .. to Agnostic .. To Bahai .. To New Age and finally to a follower of Jesus ( not a Religion ) …. When I was an atheist I had a series of traumatic personal experiences that made me reevaluate my view of myself / purpose / meaning / reality … etc etc. To make this very long story short I have arrived at an understanding where what I believe to be truth has become self evident. So I proved to and for myself that God exists. So what logically would follow would be ascertaining what was the reason I was created. “Who am I, where did I come from and why am I here” … as it has been expressed as many times by the seeker. I posit that the search for these answers are the root of “belief’ and its important not to confuse the spiritual quest with the blind acceptance of the manipulated, controlled and diabolically twisted interpretations, dogma and mind control spewed by the man made institutionalized religions. Its easy to prove God exists …. Our own minds and thoughts/dreams prove the existence of a non material realm sovereign to matter. As the effect cannot be greater than the cause … ( a painting cannot create the painter, a table cannot create the carpenter ) therefore our minds cannot have originated or arisen from matter. And as the table proves the existence of the carpenter .. our minds having not being created by us .. prove the existence of a greater mind/realm that is the cause of our minds. .. That would be God and the Spiritual Realm. Your mind proves God, soul and Spirit. Shalom and good luck on your Journey …
LOVE IS THE CREATIVE POWER. God is LOVE. JESUS ULTIMATE PURPOSE WAS FUELED, based on LOVE. Fallen creation was Tasting of The tree of Kowledge Was and hadto be offered. True LOVE IS NEVER FORCED IT IS AND HAS TO BE BASED ON FREEWILL.
All religions and beliefs are an attempt to explain what the invisible aspects of reality are. There is a big problem with how we have been attempting to do so. Majority of human kind only experience 1% or less of actual reality. With the 1% that is understood, we have "language" to describe it. Here is where the problem lies. There isn't a human language to describe the other 99%... for those that do experience more than the average 1% they attempt to use human language to explain more, which ultimately turns into mythology or religion for the average mind...
I really love these Q&As! I have listened to so many of his speeches, that I often get bored nowadays since there are a lot of subjects that he already formulated. Those "random" questions make it more unpredictable and give me something new, even tho Peterson's main subjects get back in his answers quite a lot. Since I like to listen to him from time to time because it, simply put, gives me positive energy, this is a great deal for me.
I have watched this Q&A three times over the two days that it has been published and I’m very grateful that it’s available to me to watch many more times 🙏
One of the most insightful, and inspirational exchanges I have ever seen from Dr. Peterson. And he has given a great deal of insightful and inspirational talks.
This was the quickest hour in my life. Thank you for such an inspirational talk.
This is as insightful and instructive as anything I could imagine as a practical guide to approaching life....What a treasure he is.
It's amazing to watch the dynamic between Dr Peterson & the audience that was filled with people who actually wanted to LEARN & have a REAL Q&A session. The attentive eyes just shows the distinction between intellectuals of high academic caliber & the sort of crowd that regularly attends his events just to lash out (mostly unreasonably). I honestly learnt a lot just from this Q&A session alone. Thank you as always Dr Peterson & Cambridge for organizing this!
Remarkable views and thoughts from no other than Dr. JP. I got all his books. All I need to do is for him to sign all of them in the future. Hoping for a Nobel Peace Prize for him.
An absolute joy to listen to and thank you for transforming the lives so many, never taken for granted!
Thank you dear Jordan Peterson, Your work is highly appreciated in 🇨🇭, homeland of C.G.JUNG. Our sons are listening to you since the age of 15,, so over 12 years. Your especially helpful to young men, in spite of the castration minded society, starting in school. We'll enjoy sharing you in our circle. 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻🇨🇭🙏🏻🇨🇦🙏🏻
Man I’m lost for words Jordan Speaks them all unbelievably moving
Wow first time I see a Q&A more interesting than the beginning speech itself, specially when it's Peterson speaking. Great job again English people ! You show that the importance of the question is equal or even more valuable than a good answer.
DR Peterson, thank you for sharing your knowledge online.
Just watched the whole talk. This is absolutely incredible. Thank you, Mrs Peterson.
I can understand that people would disagree with him but how any one could dislike or even hate him is simply beyond my comprehension. I will never tire of listing to him, I don't always fully understand and occasionally don't agree but his manner and delivery are an absolute joy to behold.
@@casteretpollux point me in the direction of your scholarly work so that I can evaluate your opinion.
The fact you ask that shows that you haven’t read my opening post. No more really needs saying does it.
@@casteretpollux Again you show your lack of comprehension with that post, but I am not surprised by that.
@Cass you're miss reading the comment. They didn't say the enjoyed being befuddled or confused. They said they enjoyed listening to Peterson "even if they can't ALWAYS understand". That doesn't imply they enjoy being confused. It implies that they're occupying the right place of learning. If you're at a spot where you understand let's say 80% but 20% is too hard for you, then you're at the edge of your ability. That's good. That's how you advance your ability. You're in a place where you can still push yourself and grow.

Jordan, you continue to shock me by your knowledge & deep, deep soul. This lecture of sorts even came to a crescendo where in the conclusion using the terms soul & love you once again swell up in preparation for a good cry. Once again I am going to make the suggestion to you for your next interview, Rupert Spira. The topic being, "consciousness!" Thank you again.
Cannot say just how interesting and enlightening that Q & A was. So much to listen to again and to think about. JP is a remarkable man and I count myself lucky to be able to view and engage in his lectures and public exchanges through the medium of KZhead.
true. Good point.
What a reciprocal moment of truth. So hopeful to see you Dr Jordan Peterson again here in the UK and at Cambridge University.
I actually enjoyed this Q&A more than the main lecture. Fantastic stuff.
Only yesterday I was looking up for this all over the place😍 Thank you so much Dr. Peterson. You are the guiding light for me in my dark phases!!
I am so grateful to be alive and listening to this!
It’s inspiring to hear you feel this way, Leah. There are so many of us who feel the same.
I had to listen to that last answer 4-5 times cause it was so juicy. I’m glad I was alone on the highway cause after the 3rd time my brain and heart exploded and I couldn’t help but shout in rapture. You have such an elegant way of bridging the gap between the intellectual, the philosophical and the spiritual. Thank you for all you do Dr. Peterson.
I got an intellectual erection too!
Lovely Q & A. Thanks for putting it on KZhead!
So glad to see you back in your groove and enjoying yourself Dr. Peterson! You are a great man, and this world is very privledged to have you sharing yourself with it! Keep on as long as it serves you and your family well, we are grateful!
Thank You once again Dr. Peterson. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. The world needs you. God Bless.
His grasp of clinical and development psychology is vast and impressive. He is able to access specific information on a germane topic from his mind and apply it to the question at hand with such swift facility.
One hour in & just heard this simple yet powerful Peterson-ism... "Your actions are guided by love & your words are guided by truth"
Outstanding. I pray I can put what I am now aware of to practical use daily. Thank you sir.
Why weren’t my professors this fantastic
@@kaivogel253 Based on your comments, I have realized: -You are stupid. -You have high time preference; you waste 10x more time than I have on this comment every day, debating in vain of your ideas. -If your ideas were good, you would start a blog or a KZhead channel on your own, instead of leeching off a channel with millions of subscribers -If this is an elaborate troll it has satisfied others more than yourself, as your morale has been crushed by other commenters debating you, whether you admit it or not. After the smoke clears, it is others who have moved on, laughing at your absurd troll idea, while your committed troll has done nothing good for anyone, even yourself, as others have derived more pleasure from mocking you, and this pleasure is greater than yours, as it yours comes from nowhere of integrity. Your motives: -Are not to inform or enlighten anyone of your ideas, not engage in honest debate -You try to bait people into arguments (such as these) and once people reject your fallacious premises you use clown foolery to take heat off, and dance around counterarguments instead of confronting them (because you can't) -You are a troll and you gain happiness with a (false) feeling of moral superiority over others with more intellect and testosterone than you. My predictions: -You will childishly claim victory in this argument -Even if you "really" won the argument because your idea is some groundbreaking genius, you will never implement it, and you will die with an even inferior legacy than those who you have "beaten" in an argument. -You will continue only listening to other statist grifters such as yourself, and never leave your religion -You may change and realize how foolish you are, but your intellectual redemption will not be due to critical thinking, but due to the expression of shame that you have delayed hitherto.
@@kaivogel253 the fact that you took your time to come to a youtube channel that you don't like and reply to every comments with a negative energy is remarkable. I hope you get well soon my dearest human fellow.
@@kaivogel253 why are you so frustrated, literally all peterson is doing is trying to help people who struggles with their daily life's, i don't see peterson spreading around some propaganda, he is just articulating common sense, and i don't know what agitated you or what triggered you to go around replying to people as well as peterson in demeaning manners, you really are frustrated i see. Have a good day or night my man, you will get there, IN TIME.
If you can quote one sentence that Peterson, who has argued for decades against authoritarianism, has ever said that aligns with fascism, then your absurd statement might hold some water. But of course, you can't.
In the 1970’s we had this. ✌️👌
What an amazingly insightful Q&A. To ad lib like this is so impressive.
So moved by this Q&A! Oh professor, you have the ability to move our core...our souls!
Probably common at the moment for you jordan but you've been extremely helpful to me, I never thought I would admire another man.
As always, a journey to rational paths of thought and analysis leading to the logic of mutual truths. Outstanding.
Always great to have you back in the UK JP!
