Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 02. 2017
- In this lecture, 11th in the 2017 series, I discuss the giants of existentialism, a philosophically-grounded psychological position positing (1) that psychopathology or mental illness/distress is built into Being itself and (2) that the adoption of responsibility through action is the appropriate response.

After working 14 hours today, I got home and popped up this lecture. Watched the whole damn thing, and I¨m glad I did. I feel so enlightened about things I didn't already know. I never went to university, but I'm glad these lectures are available on the Internet for anyone to see on their own time as many times as they like. It's a beautiful thing.
Agreed.
U don’t have to go to a school to learn my friend
Amen friend!
Absolutely. There is no reason to not self educate in the times we live in.
@@gormenfreeman499 what you want to do is go through all course material before the lecture. That way you have priming and previous knowledge...then when you're in the classroom, you can just absorb. You don't want to take too many notes. In fact, if possible, don't take any notes...but take notes immediately after and try to note as much as possible. When studying, doing this technique every half hour of study is the best way to gain knowledge. After 10 mins of note taking...bam go for a 5 minute walk. Then repeat. You don't have to be naturally smart for this technique to pay great dividends.

How ironic is it that the only university course I’d ever pay for is free
I think about that all the time. His payment receipt just says "I listened to you Mr. Petersen and I've changed my life for the better".
Indeed.
no such thing as free, we're all using time
@IMME8471 that just tells us that you're a quick learner who has made a comfy home within Google :)
Why would you pay for somebody to show you the right books, when you can get Google to give you a list of the books, sell you the books, play you lectures about people who read the books before you and finally a bunch of tunes to listen to whilst you write it up.
We live in a pretty amazing time, I am 42 years old I am supposed to be old and useless. But because of lectures like this, I am on a par with you - a University student who's actually surpassed his course lol well done to us all really. Thanks Dr P!
It's both ironic and great consequence from this technology
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Those lines always stood out to me. They're so simple but potent.

People clapping for their teacher. I've never seen that before. Good man that Peterson.
Wasn't there a song by that Canadian band Guess Who: Clap for the teacher, the Wolfman, the Mounty, the Queen. . . somethin like that . . . ? In the 80s, I think.
I don't know, did you google it? I was born in 1990 and I've never seen a group of people clap for a teacher. Other students after presentations and such maybe. Public speakers that would come visit in college, never a teacher specifically. It's almost like you expect their words, so it doesn't seem clap worthy. I can see why they would clap for Dr. Peterson, his pros are like a story teller and less like a lecturer. The dudes entertaining!
Oh lordy, I am so friggin old. Song came out in 1974 by the Guess Who, a feature band of the day. You can CZcams it. Clap for the Wolfman.
If they were singin it today it might go somethin like this:
" Clap for T-Teacher,
You gonna rate his record high
Clap for t-teach,
You gon' dig 'em till the day you die."
OK it's late. Gonna take my teeth out and I'm goin to bed.
ROFLMAO
It certainly is rare in my experience. I was in uni 2011-2014 and I can think of maybe 2-3 lectures where there was applause at the end. It was from I think 2 lecturers as well. That's saying something when you consider I had 22 hours of contact time a week for 3 years. The lecturers who got that response were just these hyper enthusiastic, brilliant and engaging people who felt like they were intrinsically woven into the fabric of their course - it was their own - unlike an uninspired redelivery of some unoriginal material bequeathed to us by our other tutors.

When you're going through hell, just keep going.
Watch the videos while you sleep. That way retention is more likely.
Arsen Flare That's not how memory consolidation works. You can listen to it whenever, then when you take a nap/sleep you'll consolidate the memory.
The best lecture thus far. The truth in it's realest state. We cannot separate humanity and suffering. It is so deeply in bedded in man, like all of our 5 senses. Suffering is just another way we experience the world, which we do not want to accept, but hardly can ignore. We crave it and the fact that we do frightens us to the very bone. When I lose meaning in life I find my self, consciously or subconsciously, desiring hardship. I never could make sense of it until recent. Suffering gives life meaning. Not because we find satisfaction in It, but because it allows us to recognize, by contrast, of the beauty and joy in life when it's right in front of our faces. Then we can remember what is truly valuable.
Thank you so much for that comment.
I wonder if there is a relation to choosing "bad" mates i.e. has my superhero power (lol) of falling for toxic women to do with the heretofore feeling of meaninglessness? And is that why for the last few years, as I find greater meaning in life, my "unconscious" desire for horrible mates greatly dissolved?...
Perfectly Put!
That's a good explanation

I'm pretty lax on tardy students, as long as they aren't disruptive. When they're late, they're only hurting themselves, especially when they come to me for a letter of recommendation. "Good kid. Always late."
But when I drill deeper into most of the habitually-tardy students, I find that they're scrambling to get to class at all, with drop-off times for their kids that conflict with class time. A job that makes them late to school, every morning. About half my students are non-traditional, with jobs and families competing with their deep desire to improve themselves.

Absolutely fascinating stuff! I have a degree in psychology and education and often resent the fact I spent so much of my time and money to be exposed to so much nonsense in college, instead of the education I was truly craving for, and should’ve looked like what we see here to be considered worthwhile. To be able to learn from Dr. Peterson today through CZcams is a true priceless gift that I, in no way, take for granted. Thank you so very much 🙏
Agreed!

What if it's what you want? What if that's what gives your life meaning?!" 1:21:40

One doesn't come across youtube content that can be "liked" a priori very often. With Prof. Peterson I haven't been disappointed yet.

molchlurch Totally agree. I cant get enough of him.
This man has honestly changed my life, and the fact that he is willing to post these lectures online for everyone to view is beyond me. He has given me the hope I so desperately needed to carry on in life, and not fall into the void of total nihilism.
Bless you. I know we all have darkness and flaws within us. Those do not have to be your master. There is goodness within you and you can access it. I know the struggle, I've been there before. There is an up, and the up is worth fighting for.

I went through nihilism before.
After being diagnosed with complex PTSD, I can tell you having an actual diagnosis is more of a relief than knowing I will survive. I knew I wasn't alone, I wasn't crazy. This is so important.

This has been one of my favorite JP lectures. Anyone who wants get a quick overview on existentialism needs to watch this.
Overview of *good* existentialism lmao
Something I find profoundly sad is the fact that the popular notion of Nietzsche's philosophy is essentially the exact opposite of what Nietzsche actually believed and wrote about.
This is partly, I suppose, due to the meddling of his appallingly malicious and antisemitic sister and brother-in-law's handling of his estate (to whom, in life, Nietzsche wrote many a strongly worded letter of condemnation).
It's also partly due to the fact that his points go over the vast majority of people's heads - particularly the edgy teenagers who purport to be his devout followers.
One of the worst misunderstandings is that he's seen as the father of Nihilism (when, in fact, he was warning against its impending advent). The other colossal misunderstandings - which is perhaps much more damaging - is the concept of the Übermensch. Most people take it to mean that the strong, ruthless, and amoral are superior and have free reign to tyrannize everyone else - the Üntermenschen. In reality, he saw traditional morals and values rapidly decaying with the belief systems that held them in place, and that one must craft their values for themselves. One of those he thought up for himself was the (metaphorical) notion that time is circular, and that he should live his life as if he would have to relive it in the same way endlessly - so he should avoid actions that would result in suffering or regret.
A brilliant man, misunderstood by the masses.
Java Monkey Did you even watch the lecture? He didn't mischaracterize Nietzsche as a Nihilist
Java Monkey where can I find his quasi authentic literature?
Java Monkey is correct in his assessment of the misrepresentation of Nietzsche. A man of his brillance and competency defines a power over ideas not replicated. We still do not fully understand his ideas and he is very often misquoted and misunderstood. I just finished Beyond Good and Evil and I probably understood about 20% of the book. It is common fact that his sister was facist and a member of the Nazi party. A totalitarianism policy can not stand without nihilistic thought (ie meaning and responsibility can not exist as separate entities.) What I got from the book is that Nietzsche says, and I am paraphrasing, think for yourself and find your own meaning outside of group think. He actually makes the most powerful arguement against nihilism.
Getting away from empty religions and subsequently healing the culture is a healthy phenomenon in a civilization, and often allows for further advancement and mental growth, rather than total collapse. There have been many religions throughout time, more or less the same. But whenever there is a new culture that takes the old ones' place there is evolution. Suffering, yes, but humans are biological creatures that suffer by nature.
Perhaps this detachment from Christianity is one reason why there were less extraterrestrial encounters in modern times than can be interpreted from old murals in the ancient times? They saw that humans finally start to grow up from the programming the Elohim had left in us. It's interesting to also note that the reptilians, accoring to ambassador Lacerta, had their last major incident with humans in the 18th century. Corey Goode explained the Blue Avians regretted their appearances that every time started a new religion.
'Üntermenschen' Made my day. Thanks.
The existentialist lectures have to be my favorite out of all of his videos. The existentialist philosophy has to be one of the more darkly optimistic and realistic ways of behaving and thinking as a human.
It so nice of you to help those of us that want to be "students" I am learning even more than I would if I was attending an actual university. I love how I get to even push pause and rewind when something is over my head yet clicks so I can make sure I understand to the fullest extent! Thank you to ALL for being you and making this possible!!
You have to watch this at least 5 times to really even begin to comprehend the depth of these issues..
Frank Stop being dumb, I understood it on my first viewing. Basically these philosophers say "individualism good, living for other bad" cuz otherwise you are a fucking loser. They also add "suffering is inevitable and good".
These are mostly dumb statements, because suffering is always bad as it causes mental disorders and what not (Nietzsche himself went insane) and if everyone is hyperindividualistic, society falls apart like it happens right now.

I've sat through a pretty good number of hours of college lecture. They were nearly NEVER especially captivating. This guy is a complete gem.
This is probably my favorite of his classroom presentations. Great material, and he was really in the zone.
This is the single most influential video that has impacted me ever
It is truly a magnificent and horrible thing to be human.

TheControlBlue It's pretty primitive to be honest, since it is a roll of a dice. Good genes = great life. Bad genes = abysmal life. Woohoo, so complex.
He explains difficult concepts so well. I love that he values truth so highly.
Gives me a peace of mind listening to JP and warms my heart reading the comments. Namaste y'all!
namaste 🌀
Thank you, Prof. Peterson for the lecture. I am astonished by the density of the information. I have to listen to it repeatedly to catch the concepts because my poor brain seems to just grasp one layer at a time.
Time passes. I listen again after new questions are formulated. Real questions of significance to living my real life. I am astonished to hear the answers that I had already heard but wasn't ready to hear.
These lectures are a valuable gift to all mankind. I know that you know that. I'm glad that you are an example to us all.
Is there any correlation between the width of Nietzsche's moustache relative to his mind at different times of his life?

It depends, you also have to weigh in the 'thickness factor' of Ham Sarris' moustache.

What a privilege to have him as a teacher.
"Be yourself! What you are at present doing, opining, and desiring, that is not really you."

Agreed!
I love his comment on the relief of diagnosis. I remember that when I first started experiencing severe OCD, I truly thought I was going insane and there was no hope. When I finally saw a doc who told me it was OCD, it was such a relief to have a name for the problem and a treatment plan.
Watching it for de 4th time. I just love how this gives me clarity to think about what I should do, how to plan my future.
Brilliant. Absolutely fascinating, as usual. Thanks JP!

Brilliant as always! I don't ever remember any professor getting applause at the end of lectures! Of course, I was never taught by JP! I wonder if his students can comprehend how incredibly blessed they are to hear his wisdom.
Brilliant lecture by a brilliant man. I cant describe the amount of value I get out of these.
Your videos are informative and direct. They have been very entertaining as well, and is safe to say you are an awesome professor.
One thing that I love about Jordan is his immense generosity; he gives of himself for the good of others.
Amazing lecture. To have this available at any time for free is a gift
So now you're dubbing in applause AND laughter. Very crafty.
lol
its to drown out all the nazis
Clapping can trigger people so Feminists recommend using Jazz Hands. Apparently it is okay for 50 people to scream, bang pots, and blow air horns, that is fine. Just don't clap.
The thing is, right, clapping, right, it's a symbol of patriarchal oppression, because men have bigger hands on average than women, and stronger arm muscles, therefore each male clap is worth significantly more than each female clap, and as we gauge the value of a round of applause by it's decibel level, we find that points and performances that please the male audience members most have a distinct advantage over those that please the females.
END THE GENDER APPLAUSE GAP!
The whole lecture is dubbed. In reality he is just saying random numbers. Its all put together later with the help of an illuminati semantic machine from the future.
Jordan called me out on my applause comment. I repent!
So it was you!
+vibrantZebra1 ... Jordan? Watch the video.
last 5 secs of the vid might clue you in.
Fascinating. Thank you for expanding my understanding of life Dr. Peterson.
Dr. Peterson,
It was a great lecture.
I would like to applaud here while watching you on youtube ! Here we go !👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏...
I watched and listen to the entire course over this summer and, inspired, i managed to get into a Dostoevsky course! The whole thing is Dostoevsky!
This was the best lecture so far. Some of those quotes are so powerful, I had to run to the store and buy a notebook to write them down. Thank you!
I am so grateful for dr peterson and access to these marvelous lectures. More people than can be imagined are improving their lives, and thus the lives of those around them.
Man, every freakin line JBP says is notable. Incredible!
This is one of your best lectures, Professor!
You should keep the clapping. It is well deserved.
Hear! Hear!
I can't believe I'm getting great university-level lectures on CZcams! Thank you so much!
Blimey! Encourage everyone to listen to this. Peterson is coherently all over the place, branching fascinatingly around the theme, and on fire with desire to instill. Literally mind-blowing for his students. I bet they feel both drained afterwards, and strangely, unfathomably engourged the next morning. Big respect. He is a true giver, we are so fortunate to have him, so pray for more like him. I'm pretty old and ordinary, though thankfully with an open mind, and led by a keen sense of wonderment keep me growing.
Those applause are well earned sir. thank you for everything you do
I love that I can learn new things not only about great men in history and our species, but about myself, and why I do the things I do. It's very enlightening!
Incredible...I've been into Jordan Peterson s lectures for years and finally just now was able to value the import of this lecture...
2nd time around in these lectures...after 2 years...these are just a treasure trove of ideas to expand upon in everyday life..
Introducing a bit of chaos. My first lesson without subtitles...Let's do it!
My friend and I are actually pretty bummed out that it's reading week, and we can't attend this lecture today
You're IN this class? Any chance you know the connection btw Peterson and Northrop Frye? Have been trying to figure that one out.
alana maria of a
Beautiful, beautiful article. Michael Tsarion and the end offering true love towards society, dispite the pure evil that society produces. He is a top of the line scolar. Many thanks, Michael. 🎉
I can't believe the fact that i'm skipping classes to watch jordan peterson's lectures xd
You need to sort out your priorities, Bucko! :)

@@donnamcgee9224 will do, thank you
@@donnamcgee9224 i'm actually a med student, that kind of content is really interesting, thanks a lot.
@@donnamcgee9224 Update: I could never thank you enough for the gold mine you introduced me to. Thank you again.
When I was younger Nietzsche was basically my God and "Notes From Underground" was basically my bible. The impact that Nietzsche and Dostoevsky have had on my soul is, well, indescribable. Kierkegaard was also important, because I had a genocidal hatred of Christianity and thinking of men like Kierkegaard and Martin Luther King helped make it possible for me to not totally fall off the cliff and explode. I was a sick, sick nihilist back in the day. And I've just always been obsessed with the movement these three men created. Something was happening in Europe in the mid to late 19th century and these three more than any others picked up on it and communicated it to the world.
Hey, glad to find a related threat with people who seem familiar with the authors. The doc suggested something about reading Dostoevsky and Nietzsche at the same time and I might just attempt that. Any directions on the order I should read their works in?
+Dread Wolf; God is good and takes full responsibility for the creation of evil. Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Proverbs 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. And God promises to completely remove evil. Nahum 1:9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Evil is temporarily necessary for us to have the free will necessary to create our own soul, personality, character. Evil and Hell are simply the absence of God. God = fiery, love, light, good, truth, life Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire... hell = fiery, hate, dark, evil, lies, death. 1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire (God); and the fire shall try every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) of what sort it is. 1 Corinthians 3:14 If any man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself (spirit, mind, consciousness) shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1 Peter 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character), pass the time of your sojourning (temporary residence) here in fear: Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men (spirit, mind, consciousness) once to die (separate from God like Adam), but after this the judgment:(the Krisis of rejoining God) Revelation 20:14 And death (separation from God) and hell (negative God) were cast into the lake of fire (God). This is the second death. (separation from an evil soul, personality, character). Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire (God) and brimstone: which is the second death.(separation from an evil soul, personality, character) Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death (separation from God), neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. But Matthew 16:26 For what is a man (spirit, mind, consciousness) profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (soul, personality, character)? or what shall a man (spirit, mind, consciousness) give in exchange for his soul (soul, personality, character)? Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man (spirit, mind, consciousness), if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (soul, personality, character)?
Martin Luther was actually hardly against jews. He was a littel bit weird. In germany we have a more asking about are they really that great in everything way of thinking. At least Nietzsche explained why he thinks about the weaks how he thinks. They are all driven by the time. In germany its also common knowledge that for example churchill hated africans and blacks. History made them to heros because they won. Probably our view is more critical because we lost twice and always asked our grandfathers why do they say you fought for evil man and were on the wrong side. My grandfather was 15 in ww2 and hated the nazis but he fought for surviving.
Dread Wolf I admire your honesty, brilliant comment!
William Koscielniak fucking pseud
Such a fantastic professor so interesting and inguging, I'd say he is a national treasure but he'd probably be humble.
Professor Peterson, thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is priceless and very noble of you.
Ineffably profound and soul nourishing.
I'm very often, conciously or not, thinking about psychology. I love to understand people's behaviours and what factors are at play.
I love discovering logic in our minds that appear chaotic and unpredictable on the surface.
And apparently I enjoy reading and listening about it, so thanks for uploading these lectures, it's really helpful and interesting to listen to you!
Squares me too. Story of my life!
Finding Jordan's lectures have saved my life and marriage. Have taught me how to become a man in my mind, and to put my room in order literally and metaphorically. DAD. That's what I call him now
This is the true definition and essence of what the word 'lecture' truly means. This is also quite staggering that this is free to watch. Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
I love these lectures. So much clarity.
