➤➤Transcript (Partial):
You know, I have done my best with every single thing I've talked to you guys about-I have done my best to do what Dostoyevsky does in his novels, which is, I make a proposition, and then I spend months or years trying to figure out if I can take the bloody thing apart-if there's something wrong with it because I want to find out. I want to hit it with a hammer and see if it breaks. And what I've been trying to do is to tell you all the things that I've gathered, let's say, or-or laid out or articulated or discovered over the last thirty years that I have not been able to break with the biggest hammer that I could take to them. And I guess that's the fundamental one, is that I-I believe that the-the idea that lurks in these images, derived from very different cultures... It's the same idea: Life is suffering. Right. Indisputable. What do you do about that? You voluntarily accept it, and then strive to overcome the suffering that's a consequence of that. And you do that for you, and you do that in a way that makes it better for other people, and then that works. And one question might be well, how well does it work? And the answer is: The only way that you can find out is by trying it. That's it. That's the existential element of it. The proof is to be derived by the incarnation of the attitude in your own life. No one can tell you how it will work for you. It's the thing that your destiny is to discover that. And you have to make the decisions to begin with, because you can't do this without commitment. You have to commit to it first. That's the act of faith that-that Kierkegaard was so insistent upon. You have to say: I'm going to act as if being is good. I'm going to act as if truth is the pathway to enlightenment. I'm going to act as if I should pursue the deepest meaning possible in my life. And there's reasons to do none of those. They're real reasons. So it's really a decision. But you can't find out what the consequence of the decision is unless you make the decision. I think the same thing happens when you get married, by the way. If you think you might leave, you're not married. And then you think: well, the marriage didn't succeed. It's like, well, maybe you were never married, because the rule is: you don't get to leave. And there's a reason for that rule. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't situations where there should be exceptions made for that, that's not the point. The point is that there's some games you don't get to play unless you're all-in. And the other thing that's so interesting about being alive is that you're all-in. No matter what you do you're all-in. This is going to kill you. So I think you might as well play the most magnificent game you can while you're waiting, because, do you have anything better to do? Really? Why not pick the best thing possible that you could do? Why not do that? Maybe you could justify your wretched existence to yourself that way. I think you could. That's what it looks like. You know, people find such meaning in the responsibilities they adopt. It stops making them ask questions about what life is for. If you have a newborn child, for example-like, unless you're really in a bad way, psychotically depressed, or maybe your personality really needs some retooling, you stop thinking about anything but ensuring that that baby is doing well. And if someone comes along and asks you an existential question about your commitment to that, the right response is: why are you asking me such stupid questions when this is manifesting...

Aren't we lucky to have him around during our lives
He's a Gift of God ,, He's a Light Shining In Dark Times..We must take our sword and believe ..Blessings
True
Fuck yeah
I would give up a lot of things in my life just so that I could go back in time 10 year and live my life keeping his ideas in mind.
Yes
I really like this guy because he always tries to teach you without being condescending or without trying to make you look stupid…
What a perfect thought ! Exactly why I like his wisdom for everyone. Thanks
I also like that he speaks about mental health, dealing with reality, asshole neighbors, etc.
@@jamestiburon443 I especially like that he talks about mental health; it feels like it’s taboo to even mention it but just hearing him openly talk about it makes me really happy
If we all had a man like this growing up, how very different so many of our lives would look. Love this man.
Luckiest generation. To have a guide like him
Saving typically results in you earning a lower return but with virtually no risk. In contrast, investing allows you the opportunity to earn a higher return, but you take on the risk of loss in order to do so. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled retirement.
Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *Jenny Pamogas Canaya,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner|
I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses..
The amazing thing is that this is not 'new' wisdom. Don't get me wrong, I revere Jordan Peterson just as much as others do. But essentially he is, in a way, telling us that which already know but do not fully realize. It's as if you had forgotten a word you were thinking of, then having someone tell you what that word is. You feel both incredulous and relived at hearing that lost word, which you had trouble recalling. This is the feeling Mr. Peterson invokes, at least in me, when he reveals a revelation about the symbols and signs in our society.
Perhaps Jordan would not have found himself at the front lines of our culture war, had he not been a good speaker. But he is...and an incredibly excellent one at that! If every teacher I had spoke as eloquently and passionately as Peterson, I might very well be in a different situation than I am in today. But what he is speaking of, within this particular lecture, is what may have brought me to my current situation today, regardless of academic proficiency.
The follies and tragedies of my life have ultimately lead me to where I am. We were poor and so I had to work full time throughout my time in high school, from the age of fourteen. Our single Mother fell quite ill, placing the responsibility on me and my brother to pay bills. I suffered various accidents and injuries over my lifetime, ultimately landing me as a handicapped or disabled person. So while I am still trying to adjust to my situation, I heed the advice which Peterson divulges here. The universality does escape us, that we all suffer. My story could be no different than your own, but what we do in the wake of adversity and tragedy, as Peterson teaches us, is what makes that experience tolerably.
I am grateful for having found Jordan Peterson online. I would have otherwise not heard of him, were he transported into the limelight. For the adversity, which Peterson now suffers, I am also grateful.
This is an absolutely wonderful comment in all facets. I sincerely wish you nothing but greatness for the rest of your time on this Earth. God bless you my brother.
exactly
@@petermackay1929 thank you for the Kudos. I am a long-winded buggar, when it comes to commenting on line. I use it as a tool to help formulate my thoughts and practice writing. People are quick to judge both, so I use this as an opportunity, or rather a corrective measure, keeping me both honest (to my knowledge) and grammatically in check. I'm glad you notice and appreciate my efforts. Feel free to grade them, should you come across them in some other comment sections. Cheers Peter.
@@petermackay1929 I appreciate the recommendation and will certainly add this book to my list. Thank you sir.
You seem older so what Jordan says makes a lot of sense. I think he blew up though, not because he's speaking truth we know but forgot, but rather because young people don't know this yet in any meaningful way. And they get officially taught that you can't succeed because everyone else is racist etc. And the way to see the world is by identifying with a group. And you're ok if your group is ok. Whereas Jordan focuses on the individual. How it's suffering and to elevate the suffering without blaming a group but yourself.
I see so many people walking around clueless and on autopilot. A man like JP can inspire a lot of people into a better existence if they give him a chance.
"Pick up your cross & follow Me" - JP does a splendid job connecting mind & body to the Spiritual.
I ❤️ listening to JP, he’s a brilliant and humble man.
Absolutely x
Humble men don't speak in public and don't allow recordings.
@@kinginblack1120 No.
Maybe brilliant not humble
Not exactly humble but very smart indeed.
Hi from KÜRDISTAN 👋 Mr. Peterson you make my life good and my mind positive (: we love you
“If you might leave, you’re not married.” Powerful, all in, being alive, you’re all in!
You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. Pick wisely.
You can fail through action or fail through inaction. One is a failure, the other is failing to fail. The former teaches a lesson, the latter reinforces cowardice. Moral of the story is to make mistakes until you find your way.
LIFE - "This is going to kill your so your all in" so well put - mortality right there & surprisingly easy to loose touch of
Listening to J.P. helps me crystallize my thinking when retooling my life, esp. when figuring out everything that went wrong with it. His approach helps me firm up my objections in a way that leads me to my personal truth more closely, instead of trapping me in a win-lose debate that helps me not at all.
"There are some games that you dont get to play, unless you are all-in". Blows mi litlle mind. Beautiful!!!
Sir, you are becoming the modern day Carl Jung. 🙏 Thank you for existing Mr. Peterson!
so lucky to have this fella
Thank you for uploading this. God bless you ✝️
I watch one video of JP every day. My life and mindstate have improved so much!
I really enjoyed your clip, dude. Thanks for putting it up for us!
"I wanna hit it with a hammer, see if it breaks." Or as Nietzsche would say "philosophizing with a hammer."
"The world is watching. Show them the win." ✊✊
The real problems individual people have are not deriving these existential truths but the problems an individual faces in the moment.
Thankyou that helped x
"I want to hit it with a hammer and see if it breaks". This is why science prevails. We trust it because we're constantly trying to break it and only accept ones that have withstood the scrutiny. It is not a set of beliefs, it is a process through with we validate what we accept.
Awesome speech!
Thanks for all. This is like gold, one of a very few channels in youtube that a is a pure source of inspiration and wisdom. Credits to JP as well
YOU ARE A REALLY BRAVE GOOD HUMAN BEING, THANK YOU FOR WAKING US UP WITHOUT HURTING US . KIND REGARDS !!!
I needed to see this
I love listening to Jordan Peterson apart from being very articulate I love how he tells you it straight, no messing around he just says it how it is.
When I want to feel good about life, I listen to Alan Watts.
When I want to get real about life, I listen to Jordan Peterson.
Dear Jordan, please teach the Teachers, and leaders
He’s an amazing man and teacher and thought me a lot of extremely valuable life lessons. It’s all about perspective/mindset and having your priorities in order along with using common sense without letting selfishness or ego get in the way of rationality.
THIS.. its so great.
Thankyou
Life is both joy and suffering. Both lead to desperation without love for the Maker of all.
Love this guy
What an incredible man. Thank you, Jordon Peterson, for all that you are.
Phenomenally enlightening!
this message is deep and it hits home for me and likely i have to believe every other viewer - come back to this daily and watch this video until it is ingrained in your head and body and entire being - i will
Seriously love Jordan Peterson 💞 the man is so genuine
Amazing Dr
Thank you
Thank you for including the source!
That’s life. In the end we’re all screwed, but it’s not about that.
Thanks JP 💜
Amazing isn't he.
Jordan Peterson, in all his wisdom, eloquence, and brilliance, strikes me as a product of a decluttered mind and spirit working in unison. He started from the inside and worked his way out.
Jordan shared this video on Twitter
Perfect!
Thank you!, once again thank you
Thanks!.
I have never heard anything more beautiful
Like it or not, he's speaking the truth. What can you do with that truth? Chances are, if you find yourself here, You already understands much of what this guy speaks about and are struggling with all of it. Good Luck everyone.
People always tend to forget their mortality and mindlessly indulge
Not true at all, typically that's from people afraid to live and afraid to die. Alcoholics do it all the time
@@rickspalding3047 I rarely see a person who has their own mortality in mind. Could you give me an example? Alcohol surely isn't the only thing people use to numb themselves down. Video games, series, drugs, p*rn, and many other things have the same effect
@@TheDhammaHub sorry I inverted my thoughts🤭, yeah alcoholics and the like prefer escapism, I've been trying to be more stoic, as those types seem to reflect on their mortality
I really relate to this guy
"Adopting responsibilities makes you stop asking questions about the meaning of life". That's very well spoken.
Especially because asking questions about life is very important, until you find yourself having answered these questions, than you need a responsibility/path to adopt and/or follow
hes so profound and honest
Life is a leap into the unknown and owes us nothing, we're just along for the ride.
Even with a bad attitude you can see this has got some truth God bless this man and anybody that understands and going to try to understand. Much love to all none for the ones that don't do f****** try
OMG HE IS SO F****** SMART!!! I really like your youtube channel, these Peterson videos are mind blowing and every one of them is game changing wisdom. Thank you for taking the time to post these❤😉👍💯
*Edit: on a side note the music for these are terrific and really help to drive home the messages with emotional overtones. Love it.* ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love this guy
Yes 🙌🏼
If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Some things do not need a hammer. One size does not fit all. There is great diversity in humans. There is no algorithm for life, or happiness, or meaning and purpose.
You’ve returned, now I just need to find the way back myself 🧐
Lol good to see you Vinny :)
I know that everything he says is correct.. and I was doing so much of it all before major tragedies, losses and traumas.. now being alone as a disabled veteran, single father (no coparent) and one of my kids became severely disable, being betrayed recently and losing my fiancé… I just don’t know anymore..? As time ticks by and so many promises broken, so many people not having corresponding action to the words they speak… I’m just burnt out. I want to overcome from the bottom again.. I’ve done it literally 4xs.. and I need that spark.. that real hope..
Your life seems so hard that I can't really offer advice. All I will say is your child presumably the non disabled one will always see you as a hero even if you simply make it through this ordeal. It is heroic what you're doing. Perhaps more heroic than being in a war.
It is a heavy burden to be left alone with the responsibility of raising children. Especially when you get betrayed at the same time and all the beautiful thoughts disappear. Just like Jordan says, you thought you knew where you are and suddenly you are in hell, where your heart is like a heavy stone after a deception that must be carried over a mountain. And it feels like the whole world is watching as you walk up the mountain wall with your children, waiting for you to drop down ... Keep climbing because there are many flowers waiting to be picked on the other side of the mountain, even though the most beautiful flower is already dead
Sometimes simply to live is an act of courage. And so long as we walk forward with faith, even in the dark, light will present itself in time to those who seek it. With faith, hope may never die.
If nothing else, your enduring struggle encourages my failing heart.
@@thebenjiguy thank you.
@@heltfreek thank you for even reading my comment.. I didn’t want to put everything I have went thru or be 100% negative… and I needed to say something where I thought someone might read it. There’s even more hellish things and I’d say half of it is because of my earlier ignorance in how I responded to the first sets of tragedies and abuse..
So if I can stop reacting to things in negative or ridiculous ways.. that will limit some of the additional challenges that are bound to continue until the end of this life.
That’s something I guess.
Thanks again for your response
I use to think positively most of my life but I've lived in this world for over 54 years and have not ever seen good prevail over evil. Not ever.
I was blind but now I see.
.
Live your life to the fullest that is what all in means. You do your Best no regrets
Life would actually be very easy if we could just achieve whatever we want by working hard and smart.
But it's rather the dependency on other people, the resentment from other people, the hate from other people, the jealousy from other people, and the fact that you being the hardest and smartest worker in the room, is probably going to work in your disfavor, not your favor.
That's the REAL reason why life sucks. I can't tell how many times I've done my absolute best and gotten little to nothing in return. You come to a point where it's just better to not try at all and let things come to you naturally instead (as they should), rather than this constant pushing.
Being a Civic Economist from the best Business school in my country, I literally could not care if I just worked as a Cashier at a grocery store. But then again, I can never get such a position again, even if I begged for it.
So yeah, be careful for what you wish for because you just might get it. And just like JP said; You're screwed no matter what you do.
I just want to die, so fed up with life.
Stay strong my friend. Think of how you are currently feeling, as a visitor, that needs to leave. It will leave eventually, especially if you work out how to ask it to leave. Eventually you will let a nicer visitor in. Stay strong, and convince yourself you are enough, everything is an illusion we create. You can and will create positive illusions. X
Ur right, it's living in that dichotomy of needing people and hating people. I think love & our higher nature come thru when we live as simply as possible and are inspired to give freely, not out of codependency. And we have to let go of the notion of "happiness". It only creates misery.
That's why I want to start singing again. It's a small thing of beauty, expectation free, that I can keep for myself. Something to steady me thru the successes & failures, even the seeming futility of life.
@@dannyallison You'd probably like the book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle
@@QuietlyCurious i will look into that book. I do love eckharts lectures.
I'm all in.
Gracias por sus mensajes, querido Dr. Peterson 🌹✨
Si, yo también.. yo necesito más practicar de Español.. que significa ‘querido’?
@@chadb8168 "querido" = Dear 🙂
Religions: life is suffering
JP: It's like fine, ok. Let's bloody well talk about that.
Instructions unclear. I am pushing a cart with a horse in it
Another crazy video
This is the war my friends. We must not lose.
To the incredible person seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤️don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what "success" is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. keep pushing.
so thats the happiness from parenthood, or at least part of it. It gives you a constant meaning to life rather than a "retched" meaningless life.
Good enough; however on of my beliefs is about gaining experience, and being oriented toward achievement. One of the main purposes we are here in this world is to accomplish something.
this guy is a genius
Beautiful and meaningful: life is the mother and the child! ~

I'd like to know what language your username "Farbot Zarathuštrötöma Nia" is in.
@@areez22
It is not my username: it is my real name.
It is rooted in Zoroastrianism: it represents the cosmic orders of authorities you call "Ontology."
You can find it in Avesta and Quran.
@@FarbotBurunetNia Interesting name. I recognised "Zarathuštr-". I know a little about Zoroastrianism.
You can find it in Avesta and Quran? Avesta I can understand. I'm curious what you mean about Quran.
I'm curious: If it is your name then it is a long name. Do you live in Iran? The name is in Avestan. I thought Avestan isn't spoken today. I just checked Wikipedia. Apparently it might be used for religious purposes. Tell me!
I'm also interested in how you transliterate Avestan sounds with the Latin script. Like the "ö" in your name. Its longer version will be written ő then?
@@FarbotBurunetNia I'm interested in a reply from you to my previous comment.
@@areez22
A to your Q #1:
Yes, you can find it in Quran: Quran is a new chapter of the Avesta; updated cosmic operation of HV ( ho/hu) and AhV ( ahO/ahU) based on ONTOLOGICAL insigNia.
Life as a separate self is suffering, to end suffering you need to stop being separate from reality
Still ALL in.......
Music works that way. And so do I.
Nice 💟
That's how I am when I commit myself but I can't hold on to anything holding me back
He is just simply genius,really! Now he’s truly experiencing God on a personal level👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
On board as an Existentalist seeker. To those not stuck in Fundamentalist or Catholic belief, check out 3 books: 1. "6 degrees", by Mark Lynas, which fully shows the Climate HELL coming by 2030, as we have already passed 2 degrees Celsius(3.7) Fahrenheit, 2. "Journey of Souls", by Michael Newton. About reincarnation. 3. "What I Believe" by the philosopher, Hans Kung. I am 60 and have been a philosopher for 45 years. These are the 3 wisest books I would read NOW.
If your suffering from anxiety Kierkegaard comes at it in a way you’ve never seen. The father of existentialism.
What’s the name of this lecture
They were derived from different cultures but all cultures represent almost the same thing too a point. May be select religions that are hate driven but it's few, it's up too people too put those differences aside and do their best too work together.
We are the truth we Cary the light of truth in our minds and when we make the wrong choices and hurt each other . We upset the balance within ourselves. We are fools in our thinking. Upset the balance of peace . truth is everything it’s the only thing we have to take when we leave this world behind
So, I was sitting here and it's apparent to me,that higher being(s) think very little of me,hence take advantage of me. What's the consequences of there bullying?
He talks about being 'blinded' but it seems to me his example of having a newborn child 'blinds' you so that you are so busy changing diapers that you don't have time to think/worry about the meaning of life. Is that his big answer, to just be so busy that you don't have time to think about it? Sure having those clips in the background and words typed on the screen makes it SEEM like this is wise stuff, but in my opinion he has said a lot more profound stuff than what is in this clip.
Commitment to each other is the reason for the rule. It is as if you think you are the only one that knows that. Why do we stand before our friends and family and commit to marriage if we are not committed? What does that word commitment mean? However, reconciliation of ideologies of belief systems must be Valued.
Can anybody point out a video/article where he digs deeper in these 2:28 reasons? I'd appreciate that.
He knows about me , more than anyone else knows , including me myself .
What this man is doing is making academic studies great again. Men like him, scholars, should be prized by the society. They are the people who should "have a following" and whose voices "deserve to be heard", because they are learned men who read, study, and write to great extents in their respective academic fields. They should be the KOLs, key opinion leaders, in the true sense. Now, not saying they must be right, but their opinions deserve to be considered.
Agree, but is up to each of us to share and promote what we think is valuable and it is up to us to promote open discussions and uncomfortable debates because, in the end, we represent society. All the best to you!
Who is that for , message for everyone?
♥️
When he said he found God, I got goose bumps. Smart people are waking up
Exactly... No matter what kind of hack you do.. You are screwed... Take it from the wisdom. Himself.... ROFL...
