I read the Bible with my name as Jesus name and it took such a shift within my mind and being.. I don’t have words to explain it... I’m like wow. I understood it on a whole new level.
It has made me hate more and more the disgusting, destructive nature of evil and sin. I couldn’t believe how bad people can be and the filth that is out there. It has made me love the wholesome, love the good, and it has made me hate the thought of adding to the suffering or partaking in darkness. I hate it. I love the good.
@@NodnarbRS We are in a spiritual warfare have been for 1000s of years,thou now its not being hidden.God is my truth my power my light!Know not just belive know this is reality..
I went through the dark watching the world at war tv series at 12 / 13 years old in the 70's. l felt compelled to watch it, though l would not sleep well that night. l stopped talking to family 7 years ago because of the drip drip of the lack of respect they had for me. Not constantly but it was there always in the background. It was little things but was in the end dismissing l had feelings not validating me as a person. Respect and trust are the foundations of any relationship. So l know what evil is though it's not at all on a scale with the global atrocities. l have experienced what peoples own flesh and blood choose to do to one another and that there is danger not only safety in numbers. That en masse people can kid themselves it must be okay because everyone is...... People need to go to the dark side it can put a spot light on their conscience. And if it doesn't they are sociopaths / psychopaths. I know individually some of my 6 siblings alone in bed at night must think / reflect. How the hell do they sleep l couldn't. They are the victims in this not me. Basically l know l could not would never treat any of them that way even when l had great opportunities to do so, with no one else knowing just me and a sibling/s. l could not do that. I could not go their is it my conscience, l dont know, l know l would have really not liked myself for doing it and it would have really played on my mind had l have.
I’m speaking from experience, when you experience evil for yourself it does change you, the fact of the matter is, it either changes you in a good way or a bad way.
It is the price we pay for wickedness. No matter how many will say it, evil still exists, but sometimes just acknowledging it makes it better than to simply ignore it, because in all the injustice and in all the suffering someone has to reminds us for what we stand.
The burning is also a transformation, new understanding changes behavior, character. The new character is more nuanced. But a distance opens up between one and those who are not willing to do anything painful voluntarily. If enough of these transitions take place communication of any depth with these people becomes almost impossible. It is impossible for one to be swayed by demagogues, but it makes the behavior of those less sophisticated somewhat appalling. It's not just that it burns as one comes to understand, it isolates over time from the bulk of humanity, can almost make one question if they are completely human. In economic terms it may be "rational behavior" to avoid painful thought process and remain in some sense a sheep among many similar sheep. But the propensity of questioning and the tolerance for pain are inborn, and so the people who develop themselves really have no choice in some sense, because curiosity is a strong sensation. But the life is not as comfortable as it might be. Or so it seems to me.
@@bustermcgee7403 definitely and Jordan is a tortured soul as a consequence. I call people out no matter where we are or who we are surrounded by on their mind games.

Sailorjerry46 to me it was all things everything that has always existed and will exist and yet to come. All things.. everything known or experienced.. the good and bad actually.

I dont think you can be convinced of the necessity for moral action until you understand exactly how dark and terrible things can get and its your fault that they're getting that way. Who wants to think that? You can think it tho... but not without it burning you ! This 🙏🙏🙏
I recently talked to someone who was younger than me, and I mentioned the Nuremberg trials. This person had no idea what I was talking about. These things aren't being taught.
I was three years out of college before I ever even heard the term, and that's only because I like to read and watch educational videos. I went to a good high school, took AP history, and even a few additional history classes at a fairly prestigious university and Iiterally never learned ANYTHING about Nuremburg, the Holodomor, the Great Leap Forward, the Muslim slave trade(s), the role of the British Empire and other Westerners in ending slavery around the world, etc. It's honestly hard to comprehend how terrible the Americam education system is. I graduated college in 2015 btw.
True story! I was chatting with an old friend and his 18 year old daughter was in the room listening. She had just won a place to a university in the tier below Oxbridge. For some reason we mentioned Joseph Stalin. "Who is Stalin?" she asked. I briefly explained that he was a brutal dictator in Russia in the 1930s through to 1953, who murdered millions of his own people. "Ah!" said the newly enlightened one. "So, he was a Nazi then!"
The most powerful thing that Nuremberg trials did for the developments in... lets say... legal history or the philosophy of law, was the critical thinking about the legal positivism. That was for me the greatest achivement of II WW age in the legal problems - to be critical of legal positivism is the main source of being against the totalitarianisms, and totalitarian regimes. In legal positivism lays this particle of justification of totalitarian regimes. Becouse legal positivism does not like to question the law as something that could be against the ethics. The law should be seen as the source of norms and ethics. Preferably the only one source of them. But there is another philosophy of law, normativism which says - the ethics and the norms should be the source of system of law. Or there is no law if not generated by higher system of ethics. Beside law or above law. For some centuries there was legal positivism who said that your king's law or your state's law is all which you must listen to - not your consiousness, not your ethics, not your values. That was what made colonial empires and totalitarian regimes. And the Nuremberg trials were actualy the end of believing in it without question. :)
As a former meth addict, and everything else addict, I know how dark things can get.. Jordan is right, the evil really does show you the need for good. For me that good is Jesus christ, saved me and really showed me that the way i am. I pray this generation will open its eyes, we are a nation losing its direction, and delusional of our sin. And for God's sake, educate THEMSELVES, learn to evaluate and figure out for yourself. Jordan peterson is doing such an important work.
This is very complicated... For example, Marx was a thinker and his thoughts were proposed for the better society than before. You wanna say that you blame Marx because Stalin took the chance to bend it into horrible shape of ideology? That's bullshit...
SeouL It depends on your definition of human. Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths, i.e. those who do the most evil, lack many of the qualities we associate with being human. They are not just normal people doing bad things.
peterson is a great man, a rare, rare thing its obvious to everyone if he is as influential on young men as people say he is the 21st century is going to be something
Not just young, old :D I'm 38 and recent events in my life and outside my life lead me to find JP, who validated mysticism for me which in turn tuned me down into contemplative compassionate self-analyzation. I cleared out a whole lifetime of some very heavy baggage in seven days. Barely ate, barely slept. Peterson, along with others but most prominently him, lead me to a reconciliation with my spirit. I can't thank him enough.
I’m 55. I thank God for Mr. Peterson. My only regret is that I didn’t hear his wisdom earlier in my life. I’m not complaining. Glad to have it now. I’m hoping that enough young people see the truth and wisdom that this great man is so willing to share. If not, our troubled times will worsen. I honestly don’t know how Canada, and maybe North America has gotten so lost.
Suffering is a necessity to gain the perspective to sense when things are going well, and when you have been through hell, well is all you've ever wanted. We have to be pushed to keep moving forward, and too many folks have chosen the Lazy Boy and ritualistic Tv time, opposed to actually challenging themselves consistently. We all have big dreams, all you need to do is start exploring your curiosities and entertain them.
Suffering is NOT a necessity to gain perspective to sense when things are going well. We don't need lessons in hell to KNOW what is good. This is such an old teaching that people think it must be true, and they never really think about it. You just KNOW when things are going well because you FEEL good. Evil is forced on us, some may not move to action until they personally feel the pain, BUT that doesn't mean that this is the path to enlightenment or to take action for improving. This is the duality deception of this reality we are stuck in. This kind of thinking is exactly why some feel Jung was new age... There are no victimizers/perpetrators, because you have to suffer to know what is good. It takes the evil out there in the world and puts the blame on YOU.
@Nickhead87 you are backasswards, and obviously YOU have been severely brainwashed, and your thinking is entirely warped! There is an evil agenda being perpetrated by a small group of those who think they own the world and us, through their social engineering, their control of all wealth, their evil minded freedom taking laws, their control of all food supply, and most production of food, their control of all utilities, their control of medicine, and health, it might appear to brainwashed and sleeping people that people are evil in their attempts to survive this system, but WE are being manipulated into these positions, these reactions, this fear for survival.
@@sr.mental5876 True good is an inner knowing and a contentment or peace, intuitive, inner wisdom. Which points even more to what I was saying that we do NOT need suffering, especially the horrific evil occurring to learn lessons
"The stability of those systems (Marxist) depends on the individual's willingness to lie." Boom. Head shot. There it is right there folks. This is why Dr. Peterson says it critical for us to tell the TRUTH.

ouch I feel the pain , the intentional betrayal even worse wen its planned in advance , all emotions come in advance but if the betrayal is conspiratorial preying on anothers vulnerabilities its much worse than if it was knee jerk betrayal.
Started listening to the audio book “The Archipelago Gulag”, over a year ago, as suggested by Jordan Peterson from another video, and was slowly drudging through it for about a week. It’s an actual account of the true reality of the time. The in fighting amongst the people, the fear based reactionary snitching for each ones personal survival, as divide and conquer is taken to the enth degree within their civilization! Then the atrocities get described in detail after the state takes over. Coming in the middle of the night, separating Husbands from Wives, Children from Parents. Then the next phase of coming after the snitchers and eliminating or taking them away too! It’s chaotic psychopathy at its very worst. That was part of just the beginning of my listening efforts where as depression was setting in and dark poisoned World views started taking over my thoughts. I only made it through about a quarter of the book before I had to stop as it was effecting my sleep patterns as well. I’ve yet to continue and hope to someday, but talk about a Wake Up Call, BIG TIME! And Yes, You can’t help but put Yourself in their shoes, just knowing it was a real systematic covert operation and reality during that period of time. How it continued on and on for years to come is still absolutely perplexing. Yes and that along with the Nazi Regime over in Germany with the concentration camps and all. Jordan’s right, those two are are enough in and of themselves. How easily a totalitarian state driven dictatorship can take over in a short order, whether it becomes communism or socialism, when the collectivist mind set starts to rise in the people, is when it becomes too late to stop its final outcome of unimaginable enslavement. With the rise in a societies susceptibility to collectivist herd mentality, based On fear based government coercion. Those who go too far left with the collectivist rage can easily turn into the very monsters they were oppressed by
Yeah, me again. I hear in your comment the approaching hoofbeats(?) of the coming time when religion and politics will converge into the same topic and realm worldwide, to be governed by a man who will emerge only too happy to help all of those who believe his claims and promises. Our only hope is in Him, certainly NOT the same him as previous.
This was really a deep and meaningful talk, and it's actually very true. The road to enlightenment can really force some of the darkest truths upon you. The question is how will you deal with these? Do you accept the pain and suffering that goes along with it? Or will you let these forces consume you.
@@dontsaymynameunlessyouknow8775 keep transforming yourself, life is journey what you see or feel or think are sceneries, not permanent either good or bad
One might argue that in order to see great examples of good, they must arise from great examples of evil. Truly good men faced with truly evil circumstances will provide those examples of good.
“The Center of malevolence is betrayal” is the reason I do not bother socializing at all. Some disgusting humans I thought were good, were actually the worst kind of creature
My ancestors were tortured by and fled from both systems in one short period of time, the Nazis and the Soviets. Imagine the amount of suffering. I have to thank them for everything I have.

And because in all the world you are the thing you can most readily control, focus on controlling yourself first. That's the point.

@@johncarton3023 people show their ignorance by depending on other peoples quotes and or parables as a rebuttal. This world is a horrible place plain and simple.

@@lorenzog7811 Um, no. Just about every human thought is an echo of previous thought. It's almost impossible to think without borrowing the thoughts of other people. So bolstering an argument with the thoughts of great people is definitely not ignorance. Was MLK ignorant when he quoted Ghandi and the Bible? And yeah, there are terrible things in the world. Absolutely. It's definitely a curse...no question about that. The question is how to fix it.
@@lorenzog7811 Also, regarding Israel and Palestine, men from Palestine entered Israel and raped and butchered Israelis. So yeah--they're part of the problem. They helped make things dark and terrible.
That's EXACTLY the way I feel. It's difficult to pull out absolute Good from this reality, but it's as hell to be so torn about the very concept of a particular evil - whatever you've just freshly read (an impossibly brutal torture method, a cannibal serial killer, a sexual predator)... - that your morals deep inside are shaken up and you now clearly see: yes there's Evil, and yes there's Good.
Bite-sized Philosophy That’s a good one. We can also add another book I listened to recently on CZcams which Dr. Peterson recommends: Viktor Frankl: Man’s Search for Meaning.
"You know this is one of the things I really like about Jung. He's often regarded as a New Age thinker. That's wrong! He's no New Age thinker. He knew that the pathway to enlightenment was barred by the necessity of a passage through Hell. And that no one was going to do that. That's why there isn't a world full of enlightened people you might say. Like if it was just a matter of doing nice things, following your bliss let's say, however you might put it, then why wouldn't everyone walk up the Stairway to Heaven? That isn't how it works. That's not how it works at all. I don't think you can be convinced of the necessity for moral action until you understand exactly how dark and terrible things can get and that it's your fault that they're getting that way. Who wants to think that? So... you can think it though - but not without it burning you."
Dorothy Gale . Sorry u perceived me as evil. I'm not comparing myself, but would you call Jesus evil when he went into hell and conquered death and then came out?
@@jebziffel2929 Not pointless at all. It's absolutely wonderful that some people take their time to quote deep messages, because reading is way better than hearing for some of us. I for one think better through reading than hearing. Sometimes I read and get taken abound by the message as I realize I have literally just heard that - but it's just not the same. I do agree with you, though, regarding shallow, short sentences you can find on regular videos.
My whole life I been really bothered by how there is human evil, and how there can be indifference to suffering. Then I remembered, as a child, how I used to put worms on a fishing hook.
Taken literally, is it me or does anyone else feel that the idea of Hell is a bottomless one where anything tortuous or unforgivingly painful is easy to conjure up in the mind, more so than it is of thinking how many infinitely great things there would be to do in Heaven? Why is that?
It's much easier to move down the negative spiral than up the positive one. The "bad" emotions are the ones necessary for survival and they're easy to reflex into. Survival comes first everything else second. Negative truths pull you down into the animal for self preservation, positive truths pull you up out of the animal for relation. It's very hard to see beauty down in a negative spiral. Down deep in one everything outside just becomes a mirror.
To willfully move up the positive spiral is a blessing of our rational mind which grew first out of necessity for survival. If you can slow your mind which is a whirlwind of emotion laden thoughts you gain clarity of perception because you're less likely to reflex into a defensive stance when confronted with the outside. You can see both positive and negative truth clearer, which gives you a better stance from which to judge what you're looking at.
Because while depicting a perfect world or situation is very individual, depicting a state that NO ONE would want to experience is very universal. No one enjoys being on fire. No one wants to eternally be suffering for no good, for no propose other then to suffer. But what people would picture as heaven, as a Utopian ideal world or state of being, is so individual that it is basically impossible for two people's heavens to match.
'i dont think you can be convinced of the necessity for moral action until you understand exactly how dark and terrible things can get. and that it's your fault that theyre getting that way.' heavy.
Evil its a heavy burden and destroys you In Psalm 32:5 its written Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD." And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
That's crazy!! I thought I was insane for putting it myself in the shoes of evil people. I didn't like it but It was an eye-opener, I'm not very different if I don't control myself, and keep myself in check
That is why I became a baptized Christian witness of JEHOVAH. This provided me the prescibed regimen a person like me needs to keep myself UNDER control.
I like JP very much .... I'd love to know how he explains PRC ... I also wish his reading on aspects of the left side of extreme politics was a little more varied than one Soviet dissident.
Read Frans de Waal, 'Our Inner Ape', that will a give deep perspective on good and evil. A person or being's ability to have empathy is a tool of the two, good and evil. If you can think of the most painful experiences that you yourself would not want to ever know that pain, that is what what will be most likely the most effective when inflicted on another being. Empathy-for good or evil purpose-is dependent on one's creativity, their imagination.
Shao Yu Mai Wang I disagree. Many people can rearrange what already exists. I am referring to divine imagination. True divine creativity is a feat reached by very few in human history.
One of my deepest wishes is that more people could understand this.......I meet so many young people who are good willing and kind on the outside, but you can see a deep identification with the evil badass, but not the good sort, I'm talking of this sort that wants them to be like that guy. They believe that as long as evil makes you cool and interesting, good is a sacrifice they are absolutely willing to take, mostly because they never seen something deeply good in their entire life.
Proverbs 4:20-27 state: My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. 24 Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. 25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. 27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.”
Evil isn't looking at a Vietnam war photo of a dead kid lying in a ditch. Evil is working retail and being forced to stand there and watch as a mother twists her 10-year-old baby girls arm until it breaks because the child was sitting on the ground and not wanting to walk. Standing there and watching it, unable to step in, because you know for a fact that it will cost you your job and that you will be vilified by people for daring to tell a parent how to raise their children. If you have a few brushes with evil like that, it'll make you a much stronger person on the inside.
Confronting that mother and acting correctly would have made you stronger. Passively watching to protect your self is making you weaker. You easily can get another job. Risk and danger make you grow. It awakens the sleeping giant so to speak.
@Oni Tora How do you know that the child wasn't misbehaving all day? I'm just saying, you don't know all the facts of the situation, therefore it wasn't your right to intervene. Well, I suppose it is your right by freedom of speech, but it would be considered rude.
Humility will make you stronger than any knowledge of evil. Hopefully, deep knowledge of evil will bring you to the state of humility but it's not always the case. Sometimes people embrace their evil nature with pride. Humility gives confidence because it negates the fear of being exposed and vulnerable. It destroys evil because evil cannot exist without someone's fear. If I accept my pain with an open heart and humility, what evil can you do to me? Of course, I'm not there yet, and probably won't be as I'm not a saint, but that's my experience on a small level concerning evil and strength.
Great video, especially the ending about going through hell is the passage to Enlightenment, and that hell is caused by your own way od making choices.
I've been well aware, for awhile, that terrible things are happening in the world and they continue to happen, in part, because I do nothing to stop them or anything to help resolve them. The worst part of knowing this is knowing that you know this and realizing that you're just too...lazy...to do anything about it.
The people commenting on your comment have little idea what you are communicating. Your point is one of personal responsibility, having a sense of duty that goes beyond personal comfort. Pragmatists will think this is a foolish idea, because by confronting evil (and there is plenty of it) you risk sacrificing yourself to some degree, the most extreme bringing about your own death. Christ is held up as being the most caring, the most enlightened being, because he went the whole route to bring about a change. (This is the official and basic tenet of Christianity.) Yet there are people who may not be religious who still behave benevolently. People who go beyond their own welfare (as you do) are considered highly developed.
The reason young people have such a difficult time facing evil is because they see that they aren't much different. That's frightening to a lot of people.
One of my professors said the gulags were propaganda, and that the replacement of families and peoples in Lithuania, and other Baltic countries by the Soviets were just rumors. Of course this was in a philosophy course, I realized then it was time to drop out, join the trades, and starve that university.

"Like a knife in the heart through the back".. wow an excellent way to communicate betrayal. True betrayal. If that line originated with Mr. Peterson. Then I am impressed not only in his understanding but also with his skills as a communicator.
"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed." - Jesus. I always think JP has such amazing insights, that are also found in plain words in the bible. He just misses the best bible truth - redemption.
The scary thing about intellect, is strength of will. Cause when you really look into what you are REALLY capable of. It's frightening. It's why you should never underestimate someone, cause you never know, especially today, what one person is capable of. And there are plenty of examples of that found in art.
I love how Jordan mentioned the nazis, even though the guy who asked the question, exclusively mentioned communism and socialism. He was trying to get his agenda backed up by Peterson.
Thats funny cause they're are people who vlaim to be closer to god than others but secretly do bad deeds under the tables so thats a bunch of crap, evil and good coexist hand in hand.

It was little things but was in the end dismissing l had feelings not validating me as a person. Respect and trust are the foundations of any relationship. So l know what evil is though it's not at all on a scale with the global atrocities. l have experienced what peoples own flesh and blood choose to do to one another and that there is danger not only safety in numbers. That en masse people can kid themselves it must be okay because everyone is......

Basically l know l could not would never treat any of them that way even when l had great opportunities to do so, with no one else knowing just me and a sibling/s. l could not do that. I could not go their is it my conscience, l dont know, l know l would have really not liked myself for doing it and it would have really played on my mind had l have.

The price of freedom might be the risk of the loss of peace
It is the price we pay for wickedness.
No matter how many will say it, evil still exists, but sometimes just acknowledging it makes it better than to simply ignore it, because in all the injustice and in all the suffering someone has to reminds us for what we stand.
"you can think it though,but not without it burning you".
man,my soul heard this one
Amen
@Doofin It hit my soul like heroin hits a junkie.
The burning is also a transformation, new understanding changes behavior, character. The new character is more nuanced. But a distance opens up between one and those who are not willing to do anything painful voluntarily. If enough of these transitions take place communication of any depth with these people becomes almost impossible. It is impossible for one to be swayed by demagogues, but it makes the behavior of those less sophisticated somewhat appalling. It's not just that it burns as one comes to understand, it isolates over time from the bulk of humanity, can almost make one question if they are completely human. In economic terms it may be "rational behavior" to avoid painful thought process and remain in some sense a sheep among many similar sheep. But the propensity of questioning and the tolerance for pain are inborn, and so the people who develop themselves really have no choice in some sense, because curiosity is a strong sensation. But the life is not as comfortable as it might be. Or so it seems to me.

@@bustermcgee7403 definitely and Jordan is a tortured soul as a consequence. I call people out no matter where we are or who we are surrounded by on their mind games. There is a backlash but the two people who at first took a dislike to me tell me months afterwards that they have left there abusive partner and 'thank you'. These people were in abusive relationships for months or years peolle around them did not say anything or chslkengebit enough. Is it too painful to really see or do we want an easy life.

Sailorjerry46 to me it was all things everything that has always existed and will exist and yet to come. All things.. everything known or experienced.. the good and bad actually. The bad teaches us what we don’t like so we find what we do love and want for ourselves.. back to whatever it is we love and that’s like the epitome of God..
I dont think you can be convinced of the necessity for moral action until you understand exactly how dark and terrible things can get and its your fault that they're getting that way. Who wants to think that? You can think it tho... but not without it burning you ! This 🙏🙏🙏

As Ben Parker once said, "With great power comes great responsibility" and we all have a responsibility i guess as we are alive.
I recently talked to someone who was younger than me, and I mentioned the Nuremberg trials. This person had no idea what I was talking about. These things aren't being taught.
Teresa Harris I teach that topic in my Global History class for sophomores.
I was three years out of college before I ever even heard the term, and that's only because I like to read and watch educational videos. I went to a good high school, took AP history, and even a few additional history classes at a fairly prestigious university and Iiterally never learned ANYTHING about Nuremburg, the Holodomor, the Great Leap Forward, the Muslim slave trade(s), the role of the British Empire and other Westerners in ending slavery around the world, etc. It's honestly hard to comprehend how terrible the Americam education system is. I graduated college in 2015 btw.
True story!
I was chatting with an old friend and his 18 year old daughter was in the room listening. She had just won a place to a university in the tier below Oxbridge.
For some reason we mentioned Joseph Stalin.
"Who is Stalin?" she asked.
I briefly explained that he was a brutal dictator in Russia in the 1930s through to 1953, who murdered millions of his own people.
"Ah!" said the newly enlightened one.
"So, he was a Nazi then!"
The most powerful thing that Nuremberg trials did for the developments in... lets say... legal history or the philosophy of law, was the critical thinking about the legal positivism. That was for me the greatest achivement of II WW age in the legal problems - to be critical of legal positivism is the main source of being against the totalitarianisms, and totalitarian regimes. In legal positivism lays this particle of justification of totalitarian regimes. Becouse legal positivism does not like to question the law as something that could be against the ethics. The law should be seen as the source of norms and ethics. Preferably the only one source of them. But there is another philosophy of law, normativism which says - the ethics and the norms should be the source of system of law. Or there is no law if not generated by higher system of ethics. Beside law or above law. For some centuries there was legal positivism who said that your king's law or your state's law is all which you must listen to - not your consiousness, not your ethics, not your values. That was what made colonial empires and totalitarian regimes. And the Nuremberg trials were actualy the end of believing in it without question. :)

Stop that-questions like that make it easy-Peasy to put yourself in the same place, sooner or later.
Evil is real and you can see it most clearly in those who lie, who you show are not telling the truth and who continue to lie anyway.
"Evil is negative truth" what a load of nonsense, you should listen more to the professor.
This is very complicated... For example, Marx was a thinker and his thoughts were proposed for the better society than before. You wanna say that you blame Marx because Stalin took the chance to bend it into horrible shape of ideology? That's bullshit...
SeouL It depends on your definition of human. Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths, i.e. those who do the most evil, lack many of the qualities we associate with being human. They are not just normal people doing bad things.

Not just young, old :D I'm 38 and recent events in my life and outside my life lead me to find JP, who validated mysticism for me which in turn tuned me down into contemplative compassionate self-analyzation. I cleared out a whole lifetime of some very heavy baggage in seven days. Barely ate, barely slept. Peterson, along with others but most prominently him, lead me to a reconciliation with my spirit. I can't thank him enough.
I’m 55. I thank God for Mr. Peterson. My only regret is that I didn’t hear his wisdom earlier in my life. I’m not complaining. Glad to have it now. I’m hoping that enough young people see the truth and wisdom that this great man is so willing to share. If not, our troubled times will worsen. I honestly don’t know how Canada, and maybe North America has gotten so lost.
Jordan Peterson is a fad. Nobody will remember him 10 years from now.
Carlos Garces I so disagree.
@@garcesce no one will ever know you even existed
Suffering is a necessity to gain the perspective to sense when things are going well, and when you have been through hell, well is all you've ever wanted. We have to be pushed to keep moving forward, and too many folks have chosen the Lazy Boy and ritualistic Tv time, opposed to actually challenging themselves consistently. We all have big dreams, all you need to do is start exploring your curiosities and entertain them.
Suffering is NOT a necessity to gain perspective to sense when things are going well. We don't need lessons in hell to KNOW what is good. This is such an old teaching that people think it must be true, and they never really think about it. You just KNOW when things are going well because you FEEL good.
Evil is forced on us, some may not move to action until they personally feel the pain, BUT that doesn't mean that this is the path to enlightenment or to take action for improving. This is the duality deception of this reality we are stuck in.
This kind of thinking is exactly why some feel Jung was new age... There are no victimizers/perpetrators, because you have to suffer to know what is good. It takes the evil out there in the world and puts the blame on YOU.
Did you write this? It’s beautiful.
@Nickhead87 you are backasswards, and obviously YOU have been severely brainwashed, and your thinking is entirely warped! There is an evil agenda being perpetrated by a small group of those who think they own the world and us, through their social engineering, their control of all wealth, their evil minded freedom taking laws, their control of all food supply, and most production of food, their control of all utilities, their control of medicine, and health, it might appear to brainwashed and sleeping people that people are evil in their attempts to survive this system, but WE are being manipulated into these positions, these reactions, this fear for survival.

"The stability of those systems (Marxist) depends on the individual's willingness to lie." Boom. Head shot. There it is right there folks. This is why Dr. Peterson says it critical for us to tell the TRUTH.

Never seen one. Only human monsters.
Started listening to the audio book “The Archipelago Gulag”, over a year ago, as suggested by Jordan Peterson from another video, and was slowly drudging through it for about a week. It’s an actual account of the true reality of the time. The in fighting amongst the people, the fear based reactionary snitching for each ones personal survival, as divide and conquer is taken to the enth degree within their civilization! Then the atrocities get described in detail after the state takes over. Coming in the middle of the night, separating Husbands from Wives, Children from Parents. Then the next phase of coming after the snitchers and eliminating or taking them away too! It’s chaotic psychopathy at its very worst. That was part of just the beginning of my listening efforts where as depression was setting in and dark poisoned World views started taking over my thoughts. I only made it through about a quarter of the book before I had to stop as it was effecting my sleep patterns as well. I’ve yet to continue and hope to someday, but talk about a Wake Up Call, BIG TIME! And Yes, You can’t help but put Yourself in their shoes, just knowing it was a real systematic covert operation and reality during that period of time. How it continued on and on for years to come is still absolutely perplexing. Yes and that along with the Nazi Regime over in Germany with the concentration camps and all. Jordan’s right, those two are are enough in and of themselves. How easily a totalitarian state driven dictatorship can take over in a short order, whether it becomes communism or socialism, when the collectivist mind set starts to rise in the people, is when it becomes too late to stop its final outcome of unimaginable enslavement. With the rise in a societies susceptibility to collectivist herd mentality, based On fear based government coercion. Those who go too far left with the collectivist rage can easily turn into the very monsters they were oppressed by
It is the same mechanism that propagates p dophilia, they adopt the power position to gain control of the relational transactions
Yeah, me again. I hear in your comment the approaching hoofbeats(?) of the coming time when religion and politics will converge into the same topic and realm worldwide, to be governed by a man who will emerge only too happy to help all of those who believe his claims and promises. Our only hope is in Him, certainly NOT the same him as previous.

This was really a deep and meaningful talk, and it's actually very true. The road to enlightenment can really force some of the darkest truths upon you.
The question is how will you deal with these? Do you accept the pain and suffering that goes along with it? Or will you let these forces consume you.
Just gimme the pain and suffering i wanna see what are they , cuz im already fucked up enough, i dont stop midway
@@dontsaymynameunlessyouknow8775 keep transforming yourself, life is journey what you see or feel or think are sceneries, not permanent either good or bad
One might argue that in order to see great examples of good, they must arise from great examples of evil. Truly good men faced with truly evil circumstances will provide those examples of good.
I think it can work either way BBT.
“The Center of malevolence is betrayal” is the reason I do not bother socializing at all. Some disgusting humans I thought were good, were actually the worst kind of creature

"You know this is one of the things I really like about Jung. He's often regarded as a New Age thinker. That's wrong! He's no New Age thinker. He knew that the pathway to enlightenment was barred by the necessity of a passage through Hell. And that no one was going to do that. That's why there isn't a world full of enlightened people you might say. Like if it was just a matter of doing nice things, following your bliss let's say, however you might put it, then why wouldn't everyone walk up the Stairway to Heaven? That isn't how it works. That's not how it works at all.
I don't think you can be convinced of the necessity for moral action until you understand exactly how dark and terrible things can get and that it's your fault that they're getting that way. Who wants to think that? So... you can think it though - but not without it burning you."

Love hits a person harder than force my friend... Truth
Taken literally, is it me or does anyone else feel that the idea of Hell is a bottomless one where anything tortuous or unforgivingly painful is easy to conjure up in the mind, more so than it is of thinking how many infinitely great things there would be to do in Heaven? Why is that?
Maz Klassa Because pain and suffering are a fact first and foremost. Before heaven, there is hell.
Yes, what "Morality" just said.
As C.S. Lewis puts it: “All that are in hell choose it.”
It's much easier to move down the negative spiral than up the positive one. The "bad" emotions are the ones necessary for survival and they're easy to reflex into. Survival comes first everything else second. Negative truths pull you down into the animal for self preservation, positive truths pull you up out of the animal for relation.
It's very hard to see beauty down in a negative spiral. Down deep in one everything outside just becomes a mirror.
To willfully move up the positive spiral is a blessing of our rational mind which grew first out of necessity for survival. If you can slow your mind which is a whirlwind of emotion laden thoughts you gain clarity of perception because you're less likely to reflex into a defensive stance when confronted with the outside. You can see both positive and negative truth clearer, which gives you a better stance from which to judge what you're looking at.
Because while depicting a perfect world or situation is very individual, depicting a state that NO ONE would want to experience is very universal. No one enjoys being on fire. No one wants to eternally be suffering for no good, for no propose other then to suffer. But what people would picture as heaven, as a Utopian ideal world or state of being, is so individual that it is basically impossible for two people's heavens to match.
So true. Every word. Thanks for posting.

Read Frans de Waal, 'Our Inner Ape', that will a give deep perspective on good and evil.
A person or being's ability to have empathy is a tool of the two, good and evil. If you can think of the most painful experiences that you yourself would not want to ever know that pain, that is what what will be most likely the most effective when inflicted on another being. Empathy-for good or evil purpose-is dependent on one's creativity, their imagination.
He Was Fuzzy Wuzzy yes, I always believed those who lack imagination lack empathy!
Shao Yu Mai Wang I disagree. Many people can rearrange what already exists. I am referring to divine imagination.
True divine creativity is a feat reached by very few in human history.

that we have immediate access to a brilliant Mind like Dr. Peterson's.....
One of my deepest wishes is that more people could understand this.......I meet so many young people who are good willing and kind on the outside, but you can see a deep identification with the evil badass, but not the good sort, I'm talking of this sort that wants them to be like that guy. They believe that as long as evil makes you cool and interesting, good is a sacrifice they are absolutely willing to take, mostly because they never seen something deeply good in their entire life.
The Heart has no “malevolence”. Love is kindness
Proverbs 4:20-27 state:
My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. 22 For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. 24 Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. 25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. 27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.”
Evil isn't looking at a Vietnam war photo of a dead kid lying in a ditch.
Evil is working retail and being forced to stand there and watch as a mother twists her 10-year-old baby girls arm until it breaks because the child was sitting on the ground and not wanting to walk. Standing there and watching it, unable to step in, because you know for a fact that it will cost you your job and that you will be vilified by people for daring to tell a parent how to raise their children. If you have a few brushes with evil like that, it'll make you a much stronger person on the inside.
We are all made stupider on purpose at some point in our lives.
Did the arm actually break or are you just exaggerating
Confronting that mother and acting correctly would have made you stronger. Passively watching to protect your self is making you weaker. You easily can get another job. Risk and danger make you grow. It awakens the sleeping giant so to speak.
@Oni Tora How do you know that the child wasn't misbehaving all day? I'm just saying, you don't know all the facts of the situation, therefore it wasn't your right to intervene. Well, I suppose it is your right by freedom of speech, but it would be considered rude.
Wtf? Just intervene, human rights
Brilliant professor, though I think aggression has its virtues while evil is unnecessary.
Brilliant answer and should be made compulsory in secondary schools with parents awareness and ideally them educated as well. No pain no gain
I'd like to see the entire discussion.
A book which really did it for me was "If This is a Man", by Primo Levi.
Humility will make you stronger than any knowledge of evil. Hopefully, deep knowledge of evil will bring you to the state of humility but it's not always the case. Sometimes people embrace their evil nature with pride. Humility gives confidence because it negates the fear of being exposed and vulnerable. It destroys evil because evil cannot exist without someone's fear. If I accept my pain with an open heart and humility, what evil can you do to me? Of course, I'm not there yet, and probably won't be as I'm not a saint, but that's my experience on a small level concerning evil and strength.
@@immanuelcunt7296 Amen! Humility is people-pleasing instead of acknowledging the faults from deep down.
Very good clip here.
Great video, especially the ending about going through hell is the passage to Enlightenment, and that hell is caused by your own way od making choices.
I've been well aware, for awhile, that terrible things are happening in the world and they continue to happen, in part, because I do nothing to stop them or anything to help resolve them. The worst part of knowing this is knowing that you know this and realizing that you're just too...lazy...to do anything about it.
Don't choose evil. Save YOURSELF. *THAT* alone is plenty of help and far easier said than done.
This has been haunting me for the past year
The people commenting on your comment have little idea what you are communicating. Your point is one of personal responsibility, having a sense of duty that goes beyond personal comfort. Pragmatists will think this is a foolish idea, because by confronting evil (and there is plenty of it) you risk sacrificing yourself to some degree, the most extreme bringing about your own death. Christ is held up as being the most caring, the most enlightened being, because he went the whole route to bring about a change. (This is the official and basic tenet of Christianity.) Yet there are people who may not be religious who still behave benevolently. People who go beyond their own welfare (as you do) are considered highly developed.
The reason young people have such a difficult time facing evil is because they see that they aren't much different. That's frightening to a lot of people.
We have a choice to say no to evil. Choose well.
I have just so much gratitude and love for DR Peterson .

Esico6 Why specifically Christianity over Islam? That’s what stumps me.
@@TheEternalOuroboros God chooses you...its very personal. When God calls you...you will know..and you wont be ashamed or embarrassed by knowing him. Usually people that hit rock bottom have no where else to turn...and God will reveal himself during that time ...and then you choose to invite him into your heart . Or not
@@lollic307 I personally had an experience where what you said was actually true.
@@TheEternalOuroboros peace to you
That answer; one of the best from the great man.
Thank you for this information. And for it is you.
I got scared straight ...finally at 39years old. Thank you God. 2nd chance
How are you doing now, friend?
deeply needed lucidity. You can only go for so long in the world, pretending that everyone is actually good deep down, without it backfiring horribly in your face...
"Like a knife in the heart through the back".. wow an excellent way to communicate betrayal. True betrayal. If that line originated with Mr. Peterson. Then I am impressed not only in his understanding but also with his skills as a communicator.
dr peterson brings us all together in thoughts...i am lovin it...
"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practising evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed." - Jesus. I always think JP has such amazing insights, that are also found in plain words in the bible. He just misses the best bible truth - redemption.
kasnicholas He's a bit cynical, I'd say, because he sees that sometimes life circumstances don't allow redemption and it's not for everyone.
kasnicholas how is lest being used in this case?
@@r011ing_thunder6 Everyone practising evil does not come to the light, or else his deeds will be exposed.
He never mentions slavery ... Odd. ABSOLUTE Evil is evil
Slavery is not a sin, was not a sin, and won't be a sin when slavery occurs again. did you enjoy your welfare today?
@@Xarkom89 back in the trees for you
@@shatteredsquare And back to dust for you.
@@shatteredsquare You sound like a scared and weak person
Thank you
This is marvellous from J.P. Thanks.
The scary thing about intellect, is strength of will. Cause when you really look into what you are REALLY capable of. It's frightening. It's why you should never underestimate someone, cause you never know, especially today, what one person is capable of. And there are plenty of examples of that found in art.
I think we need a global epidemic of centrism. I'd rather die by committee than incompetence.
POWERFUL
Brilliant!!
I love how Jordan mentioned the nazis, even though the guy who asked the question, exclusively mentioned communism and socialism. He was trying to get his agenda backed up by Peterson.
Were nazi socialist?

The further we get away from God more evil grows
Thats funny cause they're are people who vlaim to be closer to god than others but secretly do bad deeds under the tables so thats a bunch of crap, evil and good coexist hand in hand.
@@robertjazz3613 yes but good people try to suppress evil they turn their back on it just like they do their sick minded relatives
As much I am a believer of higher power and god. I realized good could not exist without evil. Just like Hell could not exist without Heaven.
Damn! Smart, intelligent, thought provoking, down to earth, illuminating, and easy to understand language! AMAZING!!!
The landscape of morale thinking is unlike the self appitomy for demise 🙏politics enact upon any gestures of heart, so that judgement are swayed or besseched...
