Extended Interview: Jordan Peterson Discusses How The World Shapes His Views | NBC Nightly News
How is reducing a 90-minute interview down to 13 minutes an “extended interview”
It was originally 5 minutes.
For fake news everything is possible. They are used to cut off and cut down, when they feel like censoring.
It’s a brief summation of the extended interview dedicated to ensuring nothing is taken out of context or cut for time, I’m just kidding. They have no idea
I’m a woman. Would have up to recently identified as “left”. I’m a spiritual teacher, someone many would consider a “hippy” in many respects. Jordan Peterson has literally become a savior for my life, he has helped me bring so much peace to so many painful beliefs.... I am eternally grateful. He does NOT just appeal to young men.... he appeals to the souls calling for Truth which IS universal
Miraculous Living At times, I just can’t wrap my head around the reason for these “male fan base” “alt right fan base” questions. From everything I’ve heard the message should appeal to everyone across the political spectrum to the masculine/feminine spectrum. Then I think, well, it probably doesn’t resonate with the feminine because of the finding meaning part. Most women find meaning while male counterparts wonder aimlessly. And politically, if you’re interested in the means and not the end, he can be a threat. But I whole heartedly agree. The message is universal, and in large part, missing from our society; which is sad, because he’s not saying much we don’t already know.
Travis Moratto I don’t understand “it probably doesn’t resonate with feminine because of finding meaning part?”
Miraculous Living, Same, been to burning man four times and found myself in a vapid merry-go-round of delusion and unrealized potential. Lost myself in that mess. Jordan Peterson is lighting the journey back to truth that I knew so long ago before all of the indoctrination. Very Joseph Campbell-esque.
🙏🙏 thank you for sharing. It takes a lot of courage to do that.
MastersMasterson, Not hardly, but thanks for the analysis.
I've lived in Canada all my life and I don't think I've ever seen a more brilliant Canadian than this man ever.
Thank you Canada for this great man. Sincerely, USA
Not even in just canada but everywhere sunce i have been alive
Oh come on Chris, Neil Pert was brilliant, just in a different way. You guys have lots of interesting people we love to steal lol.
In the world.
@@scottfree9994 Peart.
This is why mainstream media isn't going to be around in the near future
I think they'll be around, they'll just be kept in check much better then what it's like today.
Yeah and then we’ll just get our news from co-opted KZhead influencers. People will by the lies no matter what.
The gatekeepers of the TV era are a thing of the past.
I assume you mean Fox News.
Vito Exactly. 11,000 dislikes. Liberal shills. Mr Peterson is the man.
And then they get ofended when they're called fake news.
"Slamming a man who helps young people take responsibility and move away from radicalism is just pathetic." Well put.
They get offended by the truth.
Uncut or nothing
that's what she said.
hwnboy925 Hahahaha
uncut and raw
Agreed
"IT'S RIDICULOUS TO DEFEND YOURSELF OF AN ACCUSATION THAT HAS NO GROUNDS" J.PETERSON on this interview. Brilliant!
Why r there no comments on this?
@@driftingpillow6 there is... This one. Lol
Labels are good for canned vegetables ! What a smart answer he had .
He is impressive
@metrin stoefta wow, says the person with no identifying qualifications to even state that comment other and how you came to that conclusion. Jordan Peterson has the necessary qualifications and the calm demeanor of someone who can articulate precisely what he means.
Just to make clear, all the dislikes are for NBC and this sorry joke of a man pretending to be a journalist. What a shame. Jordan, we love you.
Maybe it's the exact opposite. Most dislikes are because of the biased questions by the interviewer
pin this comment ;)
jordan peterson is a real HUMANITY SPIRIT
I agree absolutely, We Love you Dr. Peterson!!!
This videos have been edite just to fit NBC EGO...i knowJ. peterson blast NBC FAKE REPORTER badly
Cut to make Peterson seem unreasonable, and he still comes out on top.
you, the FANS (that is an exact word) of Peterson are comical. Slightest disagreement, not clarified issue or even doubt to what he says and you loose your mind completely. he is intelligent and egomaniac enough to defend himself
mateuszpapla Thanks for your comment.
mateuszpapla egomaniacal* But despite that little error, your argument is that one person is enough to stand up against a multi billion dollar conglomerate with dozens of people working on this specific project? Please tell me more about people with inflated egos....
mateuszpapla - The issue is that they lied about Peterson's views even though he clearly explained it to them in the interview. So, they knew what his views were but cut the interview to make it look like the opposite. You don't have a problem with this?
no problem Brandon, (if you are not being sarcastic)- you welcome.
Channel 4 at least released the entire unedited conversation
StoneysWorkshop yeah, that's why
I'd like to see the entire interview. Where is it?
goldkhw kzhead.info/sun/lLGcmtyLi5p6aGw/bejne.html
So your saying Channel 4 is right about everything they say and do.
Bon Voyage ? No , I’m saying they were transparent in the case of their Peterson interview, where nbc won’t release an unedited version (although I dont know if we could stand this creepy interviewer anymore)
If young men in the usa are attracted to Jordan Peterson I say to them you picked a real man to admire. He is all of that.
I’m a slight left. And I am thinking Jordan Peterson is telling the truth!
Shane Sullivan Amen
I feel exactly the same although not comfortable when he starts quoting bibles.
@@mikiohirata9627 the bible (and other religious quotes) are often some form of metaphor for human instinct and behavior, that's why he's using these quotes
This man is smart. I have had many of my ideals shifted due to listening to his podcasts and lectures. He speaks logically no matter who is listening, liberal or conservative.
kzhead.info/sun/pLODYNCNinR_ZGw/bejne.html
@@thaliagarcia9684 Lol... The dude talks about Christianity as if they have cardinals slaughtering disbelievers in the streets... At the times Christianity caused wars, was what, a thousand years ago. That dude talks about how to handle a 2 year old... I have a two year old getting understanding why he is upset is simple... He didn't get his way... Thanks for the funny clip though. Cheers
@@kristijanpetrovski2576 I guess you never heard of the inquisition, that was only a few centuries ago they tortured thousands and burned and killed many. Same with colonization, that was full on genocide in the name of god. Also the catholic church is always on the side of fascist regimes, they just overlook whatever killing and torture the fascists do, when regimes take over and all through the duration of the regime. How about all the abuse and pedophilia the church has been engaging in and hiding for centuries now as well? But yeah, just ignore all that and fall for Peterson's BS, that is what he is about, brainwashing people with deception, subterfuges and lies .
@@thaliagarcia9684So because the church, made of human beings is fallible, that means all of religion is incorrect? Its a terrible strawman thalia. You don't even know it but you are living the life of a christian. I could give you a million examples of how the compassion of a man or woman who believe in god have helped humanity, and all you see is the evil done by man in the name of god. Im sorry but not all religion is evil, no different then the fact that there are many peadaphiles and rapists in the world who have never gone to church. What is Peterson peddling that is BS? How is he brainwashing people anymore than your comment?
It's the appeal of COMMON SENSE...something that, sadly, is not so common anymore.
Did the interviewer do any research on Peterson’s ideas at all? Or did he just spend his time practicing his questioning face in the mirror?
One vote for practicing his questioning face.
It seems someone else wrote the questions for him. How is it clear that his book was written for young men?
This is the NBC-version of the Tucker-stare.
He obviously read his book you doofus
Nicholas Williams so we shouldn’t explore metaphysics and the impact Christianity has played on them and then ground them in science by using evolution theory? It seems you don’t want to expand human thought but rather live in your own bubble and exclude anything that contradict your world view
Jordan Peterson helped me pass university, helped organise my career and now I’m looking to start a family. I would have been lost without this man.
Update us on your wedding, first kid.
University of Toronto?
I lean liberal (keyword: LIBERAL, not leftist) and can clearly see what NBC and the mainstream media does to Peterson. Doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum; the mainstream media is just trying to smear Peterson because it's easy that way.
He's enemy of the ideology, so of course they attack him.
kzhead.info/sun/pLODYNCNinR_ZGw/bejne.html
@Jay Theyme Not exactly, some make distinction between the actual liberals and deranged lefties. It differs depending on the person.
My favourite description of the breakdown is ‘If you’re pro-Free Speech but you disagree with me on taxes, you’re a liberal. But if you’re trying to shout people down and to stop discourse from happening, you’re a leftist.’
@@Psycorde Yes like, is your face covered with a black bandana...
90 minute interview cut down to 13 minutes = "extended" to NBC news.
Yet look at the numbers for the Joe Rogan 3hr podcasts. People clearly do have attention spans, NBC. I do not mourn your slow death.
Despite this, I think they did well Matt Bradley is an interviewer I would value hearing from again. They didn't try to over-ride Dr. Peterson's message with their own agenda. Which for NBC (the Covington Kids scandal) is notable. Well done.
NBC - You're hurting yourselves here, not Peterson. The guy is too prolific and well referenced to try and misrepresent him the way you have. In less than thirty seconds, we can access what he really said, and what he really stands for, and you are then exposed as employing deceit. You regained a little credibility in releasing the full thing. But your reputation has been hit. You're off my subscription list.
without disagreement you cant find truth , why not keep listening
where is the full interview????
Where is the full interview
Agreed. NBC - do better, if its not already too late
A brave voice at an important time in our society. Thank you Jordan Peterson.
Big Heart Racing Stables I respect this brilliant man ....we sure do need him to center ourselves
Samantha Workman-Fenn especially now. The world needs him more then ever
Jordan is awesome, very reasonable, extremely intelligent, and is someone I look up too very much.
Release the unedited footage!!!
I am not an nbc news fan. I like Jordan Peterson. So dont confuse the success of this video with your news network's youtube channel doing well
hahhahaha! YEP!
People were thirsty for a man who would speak the obvious common sense in a time everything is upside down.
Texas Dude Thank you, Jordan Peterson
Notice how they don’t show the question being asked or even the full response when cutting to Peterson but They do for that “journalist “ ...... not fishy at all I’m black & a women & a fan of this guy..... the video I saw him had students , who were clearly not white, defending him... this is truly a hit pieces
LoxsannB i love jordan peterson! they're really trying hard to make him look incompetent and it's not working
probably because Peterson gives off an angry/irritable vibe. i'd be uncomfortable too
I don't understand how anyone can hate him. You should check out some of his lectures. The urging to be independent and be responsinble and to help your community and yourself is amazing. One of my favortie things he has ever said was "treat yourself like someone you care about and that it would be okay if good things happened".
Introduce him to everyone you know
it's a strange time to be alive, no doubt I just finished his book, wish I wasn't such a slow reader :-(
I have been watching JBP for a long time and it is very absurd that anyone would call him a radical right-winger. It is shameful that people misrepresent JBP o the extent that they do.
I think his talks are much above the politics. And for someone who is viewing him through that spectrum will have a wrong idea about him. I am a leftist, but Peterson really makes a point. Most of TV hosts are not informed enough about his stands and the reasons for them, so most of them just try to label him, but it is much more complex than that
He is a right winger because he’s a piece of rice to the right of the radical left.
That interviewer kept pushing the question of whether or not he aligns with certain groups of people. He was Trying to get a reaction
... I'm simultaneously delighted and bemused that NBC managed to slit the throat of their own piece labeling Peterson as Alt-Right.
“It is ridiculous to defend yourself from an accusation that has no ground” Amen.
This interviewer is painful to watch. He had every question pre loaded and never once took something Jordan said and asked a secondary question off of his response. This was a one way conversation and the editing was awful
There's a reason more people listen to Joe Rogan than any NBC news show, and the numbers aren't even close. the JRE podcast does over a billion downloads a year. MSM can't touch that. Why can't mainstream media figure this out? They're dying for a reason.
“It’s ridicules to defend yourself against an accusation that has no grounds” The interviewers interrogation should have ended there. NBC, I’m afraid your agenda is showing
"What was once common becomes profound." Amen!
He is pure intelligence. I am so grateful that he is sharing his views, and teaching people of all ages how to expand their consciousness.
You just couldn't bare to release unedited footage😂. Poor NBC, I don't think you guys are gonna make it.
They definitely aren't.
Nope, they are part of the radical left, they tried their best to smear him and cut the clips but clearly this is the best usable content they had so Jordan must have wiped the floor with him when you consider how intensely edited it is.
This video has been edited and condensed for your propagandised pleasure
No, its been edited because the executives want you to watch the full episode on NBC's website. Calm down and stop panicking about every edited interview.
@@cornbreadisbetterthanpizza6866 Interesting! You would think if they wanted you to watch the full interview, they'd at least put a link in the description.
NBC sucks!!!
@@cornbreadisbetterthanpizza6866 -Wrong! NBC has been in the propaganda game long before there were _websites._
Cornbread IsBetterThanPizza yeah because complaining about edited interviews is unreasonable right? Moron
How could anyone hate jordan, he is just so precise and super unbiased
Lazy liars don't like him
06:30 "Rockstars have fans. Im not a performance artist. I do not have fans. I have people who are listening careful to what i am saying..." Best line ever!
The interview lasted 90 minutes, yet only 13 minutes show up in here. Meaning a tremendous amount of editing involved. Like him or not, Peterson is very big on context and detail in his arguments rather than small snippets. Meaing there's some 77 minutes of context missing from here. Not cool. With the media already under attack for supposed bias, you're not doing yourself or anyone else any favors by editing out the vast majority of the interview.
Karl. Americans are not use to more then 30-60 Sec info,snippets, sound bites
NBC has a lot of cleaning to do.
#NBCCLEANYOURDAMNROOM
Very unsorted
It takes more than cleaning to stop a termite-riddled house from collapsing.
And that's that!!
They have a lot of rooms.
Pausing to think before answering is a skill that people debating Jordan Peterson should emulate.
I just saw the actual uncut version I just got rid of this NBC off my Alexa
Spooky Boyy can you put a link I can’t find it
Dear NBC: You should strongly consider having an internal meeting about re-instituting journalistic integrity and honest reporting. The original piece you aired after highly editing this interview is a reputation disaster for you. It take less than 15 minutes of searching on youtube, and google to expose your reporting as highly inaccurate, and in many way blatantly biased and factually inaccurate. It is shoddy work like this that allows Trump to get away with calling you fake news. You need to return to a higher standard of pursuing truth regardless of you own personal opinions. The person who had final sign off on the editing of that piece should be fired for having damaged to public image and there by the value of NBC's Public credibility.
Wrath Nine I’m glad I saw this comment. I’m not watching another second of this. Thank you.
@@kim3295 It's always worth watching Peterson. I've seen far worse interviews. The main problem is asking him about the radical right repeatedly. The interview does not manage to put him in a bad light. Sure, it's cut, but editing is always a thing with these sources.
Same as Kim mie, not interested in watching another butchered interview by a news company with no integrity. This is the reason that long form podcasts are becoming the new norm.
Actually this is one of the more respectable interviews with Dr. Peterson. The editing was more a condensation of his offered wisdom than an attempted demolition of it. Matt Bradley has earned my respect for this interview. Even the cut version is respecting of the guest's message, engaging, humorous. Actually this interview and Dr. Peterson's response to the Lobster Pillow is what inspired me to find a similar shirt (redbubble.com).
What specifically did NBC distort here?
Jordan should start recording the full audio of every interview he does, including how the presenter treats him before and after the cameras are rolling and release them all online.
That's actually a good idea.
He doesn’t need to.
Dr Peterson discusses the Cathy Newman interview here... kzhead.info/sun/qbykfMWSg4WwmoU/bejne.html He gives a wonderful insight as to just how these "journalists" operate. I can well imagine his thoughts on this Lester Holt person.
Lee kowalski Walker the very same thing the Wilford Lorearrah (sp) teacher aide got herself off the hook by doing!
That is called contre-interview . À lot of controversed people do it all the time to protect themselves from Miss-taking there words
I'm listening carefully and I come from a left leaning background and you seem to articulate common sense in a very well thought out and argued manner - thank you.
Unedited next time please. You guys are getting killed by podcasts and long form interviews and miss every opportunity to compete on new channels.
to ask Jordan if he is far right at this point is wasting his time. any journalist sitting down with Dr. Peterson should at least know who he is.
M Lemieux ? satire?
M Lemieux what statement made during this extensive 90 minute interview would lead you to categorize mr Peterson as far right? is it the point that he makes about telling young men to sit up straight and be honest?
David Claytor Read M Lemieux’s comment again till you understand and then delete your comment
KJ X touche! haha I misread. thanks
I have no intention of watching a clip where you've made obvious intentional edits to misrepresent your guest.
Albedo Yuriev You should watch it. It's not a hack job. He sounds fine and reasonable to me. The editing just divides the interview into different subject matter.
Some editing for time's sake is always done, yes. But when the interview in the whole seems to be an attempt to provoke or at least discredit the guest, then the editing is under the same suspicion.
You and all the other JBP loyalists should think of this the next time you think of calling somebody a snowflake. Refusing to expose yourself to your adversaries when you find their methods offensive is exactly what JBP criticizes the far left for doing. Now, going out of your way to announce your distaste to those with whom you otherwise refuse to engage is just plain weak and desperate.
Nice dodge coward www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hot-thought/201802/jordan-peterson-s-flimsy-philosophy-life
Thank you Canada for this great man. -USA
Edited, not worth watching. Highly unprofessional and corrupt to do this.
It's amazing that even with the cuts, they couldn't even make him look bad. He's just that good.
Mental giant playing with a bunch of little trolls. Move along little trolls it's past your bedtime.
Release the full unedited version. It's the only right thing to do. After that hit piece you released a few days ago, it's also the least you can do.
They don't really need to. They released enough here to make it obvious to anyone comparing the two that the previous video was, in fact, a hit piece. Makes me really wonder why they thought putting this video out would be a good idea for them.
The man represents hope for many.
I am not a "fan." I amm not from the far right or far left. I like logic thought. I like math. I do no like & rarely watch television. A mentally & physically healthy working adult has little time for sitting around watching TV. Those like myself work, get gas, groceries, and/or go to the bank as needed. Then we go home to cook a healthy dinner, eat, take a walk perhaps with the family dog, open daily mail, pay bills, read pertinent email correspondance, call or go check on elderly parents, reach out to our grown children, etc... Then, with very little time left, we decide who and/or what we will read about, a detective novel?, the bible?, current politics?. Many of us who like, read, & listen to Jordan Peterson came across him accidently while delving into current political issues at hand. We are not star struck fans of a media driven current fad. We are responsible, adults who like other, not perfect, but responsible adults who contribute new ideas, thoughts, clarify & expound on others for us to enrich our minds.
That was a little creepy at first...you just described my typical day almost to a T except we have a cat, he walks himself. ;)
Very well said and this is exactly my situation.
What an annoying interviewer... he was trying to bait Jordan the whole time.. and the last question the look on his face said "you better be careful with your answer"
True. For corporate CIA media however this was mild It almost feels like there is a silent rebelion going on. They have to stay in line lest they be offed or fired, but more and more reality is allowed to trickle in to the bubble. They invited Professor Peterson and let him talk without interrupting. That's not nothing!
I think he was more playing a devils advocate. To get Peterson to clarify any discrepancies people may usually have for him. This interviewer actually let him speak and kept his opinions to himself.
No he was not. Most mainstream people does not know Peterson, so it is the reporter's job to set a litmus test on Peterson's ideas, it was good on both.
He did what any journalist is supposed to do. Put pressure on someone to seek out honest answers. A journalist that is nice and agree in an interview is jn a way just as bad as that channel 4 interviewer were who kept using "so what you say is.....". This journalist put honest pressure on Peterson in such a way that you really got to know who he is and what be stands for.
Daniel Rodriguez What do you expect. It's NBC.
Still only 1/9 of the actual interview. They posted this to appear more transparent, but they’re clearly still hiding the best stuff. Imagine how stupid this interviewer would look if they showed the full 90 minutes.
"In times of radical uncertainty what was once common becomes profound." I love that.
I just love to see him pause before spilling an answer to a tricky question! So sage!
Release the full interview.
Deceptive editing was necessary else NBC would suffer the same fate as Cathy Newman and Britain's channel 4... devolving into an irrelevant noise maker.
Jordan, like Hichens before him destroys all on comers with his superior intellect and knowledge.
Conventional news is dead. These short interviews where Peterson is constantly being interjected by flummoxed 'journos' and such have had their day.
I think the problem is that he is so intelligent that most people don't understand what he's really saying. So many people these days take offense instead of trying to understand what someone is saying or where they are coming from. It's either laziness or just a lack of intelligence.
John Caulfield Lol and your opinion is based on what?
It's both. If it's a lack of intelligence, then it can often be followed by laziness, especially when there's no interest from the person. If it's laziness, then more ignorance is usually the result in "discussions" such as this. That's counterproductive. This interviewer telegraphed all these characteristics through his smartass "how 'bout that" kind of facial expressions. I mean, NBC producers couldn't focus on his face enough. They should have edited him out completely. But one other attitude really stood out: condescension. I detest any individual who has a big chip on their shoulder, regardless of who the guest is. Enlightening discussions suffer from this, unfortunately.
you're funny.
it's not that he is soooo intelligent. he shape shifts a lot. he doesn't want to be pinned down or misunderstood so he goes into worm holes trying to explain himself.
Vb p
So the extended version of a 90 minute interview is less than 14 minutes?
I love the idea that this interviewer decided to bring out the cushion to defuse any tension and to attempt to bring Jordan’s guard down whilst being interviewed. Nice tactic. Didn’t work though did it mate?
Jordan has opened up and increased my EQ. My mind is a sponge and when I listen to him I nod my head in a knowing that I already knew it in my soul and recesses of my mind. Jordan is a human key unlocking our identify treasures. I cant get enough of his talks.... Hes the light and the truth and a fair number of us are magnetically drawn to him. Wonderful man.
What's EQ?
"To the extent that your fan base does come from what we would call the alt right ..." No. It doesn't. There's not a lick of evidence to support that statement. This joker makes Cathy Newman look like an genius by comparison.
Rick Belden so what you’re saying is...Captain raised eyebrow furrowed brow is a disingenuous dope in the deep end without his water wings???
You lost credibility with editing this video.
Hannibal Lecter they list credibility long before that. It’s nbc after all
Hannibal Lecter Oh, please. Even if it wasn't edited, you'd still claim foul.
They never had it to begin with.
Matt Bradley looks so clueless throughout this entire thing its hilarious
I've been a radical liberal for most of my life. I love Jordan Peterson. Though he has no intention of generating "fans," he has them. Whether he likes it or not he is performing now; people are "reading" and interpreting what he says and does. So anyhow, I am not a right winger most of time and yet Peterson's views resonate with a great deal with my own. So interviewers need to realize that he is not as aligned ideologically as they're leading people to think.
I never watch NBC. But I did tune in for Jordan p. Last time I try that. Peterson I not pushing people to the right. NBC, CNN, ect are the ones pushing people to the right.
Release the full, unedited interview.
When did we get away from just reporting/interviewing and instead have to always have an agenda? Jordan does a great job in this as always.
Calm, articulate, well-supported reason. There is hope for the human race. If only more people will listen to Jordan Peterson, even if it's just to speak to each other with more calmness and respect.
What’s the point of being dishonest about others?
Durodes Duvo power games. They're playing at power games
Pushing the communist leftist narrative at all costs.
They're afraid of him and the superiority of his ideas because if he is right, what they believe and how they have structured their lives and worldview are wrong. That's why.
Durodes Duvo many things, but the main thing is to create a unifying enemy out of said person.
Oh, he's actually in this one
Please Dr. Peterson don’t quit teaching and speaking in public! Your calm voice of reason and always present curiosity is so needed by those of us than can learn from you but don’t have the experience and education to approach your analysis of our various societies in these times of great flux.
Dr. Peterson is like an old testament prophet, calling the lost and disillusioned of this generation to first correct their own behaviour before trying to correct the world's, these days that message is profound and often life changing.
Don't you dare think I watched this video because I am a fan of yours NBC! I'm here for Jordan Peterson. You disgust me the way you've tried to twist the truth to fit your narrative. 13:25
Thank you for your comment. I feel the same way.
NBC trying to reach Kathy Newman status.
A little gratitude never hurt nobody. Myself included.
Very clever and genuine man.
Only a a panicked dying media would produce a hit piece like this. Ordering Dr Peterson's book today!
The interviewer is unimpressive.
Clearly stated why his listeners arent "fans" and interviewer goes on to say "your fan base". Like hes an act of some sort. Weird twist of language they kept trying to push
How many times does Jordan Peterson have to say he is not a part of the "Alt-Right" or "radical right", whatever that means.
"In times of radical uncertainty, what was once common becomes profound."
embarrassing interviewer
Mark Wright Not nearly
It's not the "alt-right" who follow Peterson, it's those of us who wish to hear more sophisticated and diversified viewpoints, of today's social issues, than those that can be found in the MSM. Or maybe tuning out of the MSM is what's now considered "alt-right".
Alfred Wessex The alt right do listen to jbp, they listen because some of the things he says resonates with them. Such as hierachy mattering in society, the loss of religious sentiment and disillusionment in the young, he acknowledges the differences in the genders, the infestation of neomarxists in educational establishments, the west and western civilization under threat of collapse. These are all concerns of the alt right. He never address the issue of problem being that westerners are being replaced, but he asked those to try and treat others as individuals rather than groups, so it's a start.
Peterson’s brilliance, for me, is in his innate ability to put into words what many of us are thinking but in the most awesome way possible.
This man is truly a gift to us and the world in an hour when we all need to listen more. When he says "I don't have fans, I have people who are listening carefully to what I am saying", @ 6:30, that really resonates with me (as he skillfully avoids being "Labelled" by the interviewer). What a wonderful world it would be if people listened instead of talking, considered instead of reacting. I believe the greatest gift an effective communicator has is the ability to carefully and critically listen, (not just hear). Some sage advice; "Listen and consider what the others are saying and do not blindly follow anyone, nor any dogma, nor the vox populi". In the end, you should question everything, listen to the responses and consider, rather than making noises (to drown out the other person if what they are saying doesn't fit your current thinking), reacting and labeling someone, simply because their opinion is different to yours.
Interviewer is anxious to put a tag on Jordan. What a terrible listener.
No he's not. He's just asking important questions, giving Jordan the opportunity to clarify his position and correct any misconceptions about himself. Isn't this a good thing?
@@ecurb10 yeah. Why is ppl blaming the interviewer?! He was farrrrr more civilized than any other interviewer
and you made a great point proving your own listening skills. Well said
The face of the journalist is quite telling, he looks confused.
I am 71 years old, university educated and was a working professional in education and ministry for 40 years, hardly a member of the radical right. To my mind, Jordan Peterson is the voice of reason, a man who clearly is thinking. I question some of his theories but what I will not accept is the obvious backlash from ideologues who have lost any appreciation for rational thought and reasoned and respectful dialogue. I am also dismayed by a media that repeatedly attempts to bait him before a camera for ratings and $. This is a man who is putting some of the most glaring limitations of ideology be it Christianity, feminism, fascism, or new Thought under a spotlight and extremists are outraged while the people in the middle are confused and wondering what to think. Leave the extremists to do what they do. Those of us out here who don’t know what to think are in a favored position if we rise to the challenge to think ... for ourselves. Don’t think like Jordan Peterson but do what he is doing. Think for yourself, speak up and then listen, really listen to the response. When we do that we will do what Peterson has done and what he demonstrates so beautifully. We will learn.
Well said. Man, I wish NBC would actually read these comments!
“I DON’T HAVE FANS” salute good sir..”you’re such a brilliant-pragmatic man…you’re helping us face and dialogue issues that are uncomfortably necessary…
I'll give you a thumbs up when you release the full video. This isn't TV - you don't have to cut up your video.
Interviewer just doesn't get it.
so what
Golly NBC. If you could get a pundit with the level of honest integrity as Jordan Peterson, you might be relevant.
so many nuggets of eloquently expressed truths...Pererson is amazing
Genuinely get bent for this dishonest portrayal of a man who is genuinely trying to make the world around him a better place. You're a news station. Act like it.
Okay so NBC released a longer version of the interview but you still can’t fathom how they put him into the alt-right field despite talking to him about it. It’s like they didn’t care what he says.
NBC - Asks „What do you say to people who think you‘re alt-right?“, still does the same thing. Why, just why.
I came here looking for a very specific quote and I found it. "It's ridiculous to defend yourself against an accusation that has no grounds"
Dude’s a genious! He is the medicine we need!!!
