What a load of bullshit! There’s no such thing as “the Individual” - it’s an abstraction from the real human situation which is: people living together in society. You cannot consider human beings in vacuo - we are social creatures by nature, something Peterson and his followers do not seem to comprehend.
Roger Gillion, if you skipped, then you missed.
@@syourke3 When & how exactly has Peterson (and/or others like him) ever said anything that even remotely implies that we are not social beings who are born that way innately as individuals who are all a part of a much larger society whether we/they like It or not??? Please enlighten me because I'm completely oblivious in regards to the statement that you're referring to in your commment. Thank you.
@@KRIS-sh8wp the story of Jordans life, so many things that he never says or even implies, he's said and implied
@@syourke3 We cannot be social creatures by nature if we are not an individual first.
I love free college. Thanks internet!!

Attachment to the avoidance of suffering creates its own suffering
Yes, you must accept suffering as it enters, and let it go as it leaves. I know from experience ;)
In greek we call it Phygoponos or the fear of pain that makes you avoid it.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Thank you.
It is not possible to act in the moment when you orientate yourself to the highest good you can imagine.
Let's say the highest good for me is well-being for all of humanity, including myself. That means, I want me and others to be happy. So, what if I'm not?
I will create more suffering than necessary in order to motivate me to get happy, because mentally I'm comparing my actual situation to a possible situation in the future.
Any goal, any orientation regarding the future or the past will ultimately lead to not being in the moment and therefore to suffering.
Man I feel like I'm getting premium paid services watching these videos by Jordan Peterson.
Tbh, teaching people how to be more valuable members of society and how to better their lives shouldnt come at a premium, because then those that are stuck at 0 cannot change for the positive as easily, which isnt what you want.
he is an amazing human being.
Ack, you said it out loud.
We are so lucky to be around for this. Can you imagine being 16 yrs old and the thing that consumes your thoughts is not nuclear war in itself. It’s the realization that not everyone else was also.
Amen brother! This stuff is masters level wisdom and understanding into us! Know they self? This guy knows us! He has gone into the darkness and come out with the light. Amazing understanding of the mystery we all live each and every day.
"Orient yourself towards the highest good you can imagine and then act in the moment"
Thank you so much
Right!? Ah such amazing advice.
There was a South Asian thinker who said something like that human beings can't reach perfection but the process of trying to achieve perfection makes us human. (I'm sorry I read that in 9th or 10th grade so I can't remember exactly but it always stays in the back of my mind).
@@anisatajy9445 Possibly Confucius or Lao Tzu. Either of those ring a bell?
Amen. Has God called him to preach yet? Because he's been speaking truth for decades....
Yes, yes, love this.
He has another one. Something like "act in a manner to that creates order out of chaos."
I feel lucky and grateful to have stumbled across this man.
"The things you own, end up owning you"
Tyler Durden
RSD Tyleeerrrrrr
Whatever you own, you need to ask yourself, do I serve it or does it serve me?
Deep, very deep. Unfathomably deep.
And sticking feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken. ;-)
I'd take it a step further, if we're talking about a physical posession. I'd say that things you don't own but want to end up owning you. It's like you create your own value for each physical thing you want to own and then it starts to mean that much to you. The danger here is to be sure that what you want truly comes from you, and it is not in fact someone else's desire.

I think by the time this quarantine is lifted, we will all have earned an unofficial college degree.
I've already watched all his lectures in full twice 3 years ago.
Now I'm revisiting during the quarantine. I'm always learning something new. It's like reading a Dostoevsky novel.
I officially support you. Unofficially, good for you!

@@astrojeet you need to read for yourself. It's good to hear a others interpretation but maybe you have deeper insights that we could benefit from.
This man changed my life for the better.
...at a significant time in my life.
No. Dr. Peterson's lectures are invaluable in this regard, but he is not the one changed you. You must recognize YOU are ultimately the one who made the choice to change. You alone have the power to change and better your life. Congratulations on your embarkation on this journey! I wish you the best.

@@nazwaffen9219 There is no reason to believe in such fairytales
I just realised that my hatred to my ex is defining me and holding me back from beeing the person I was set out to be. From a story about god, by Jordan Peterson.
You are not alone on this one. Lots of us are vengeful to our own hurt. Touching my own nose.
Who were you set out to be?
My brother!
People often perceive the Bible as being nothing more than a fairy tale; however, even if you're not a religious individual, the sermons it contains are tremendous lessons toward living a fulfilling life. As long as, of course, they're not taken out of context. If you need proof, just look around you. North America is an absolute mess. It's lost.
Men age like wine, women age like milk
"Living in the moment" has a different connotation to "being present". One implies recklessness, the other implies alertness. 🙏
Awareness?
Alertness implies potential hypervigilance.
Once upon a "now" time, I was being harassed by a demon-fem, among other things, shouting I was a wannabee - trying to get reaction of entanglement - my only reply was: "You are right, I am a wannabee " they waited with snickering stances for a low consciousness comeback of entanglement . . . .
I continued with "I want to be mindful each time it's now and it's now right now" They blanked out I turned and walked away.
Being present is quite different than "living in the moment"
be well in heart mind.
I think he’s quite mindful of presence and being in the moment. Living in the moment without a general purpose or direction in life leads to depression in my experience. Process orientation paradoxically needs a goal to direct the processes towards.
@@NassifKazan Alertness implies vigilance. But you are totally correct. Focusing intently on the present moment, like you're trying to pin it down with your eyes, generates a lot of beta waves which are closely associated with this attachment/suffering stuff. You really do have to "just kinda be there".
Being alert is good, but it's also good to be mindless sometimes.
Today’s modern attachments include: resentments, hurts, traumas, things from your past, angers, jealousies, judgements, hatred, unfortunate accidents or bad experiences. Living or dwelling in the past.
Amajor Seven that's pretty much what have existed for centuries. Of cause you have to announce your moral superiority with your myopical claim
jamie 711711 - we are here to explore and to offer up our insights and maybe putting egos and weaknesses aside, come down to your own beliefs (which can and do change with time). Why are you here? I’m not superior but I aim to understand more.Its not about moral myopathy as you call it. It’s vices that prevent your growth and evolution and attachment to them truncates your development.
jamie 711711 interesting that you see Amajor Sevens comments as moral superiority. I don’t see it that way but rather someone just adding some good points to help others.
Amajor Seven The most core attachment I have found to be holding myself back recently is that to my ego, or likely more correctly, to my external and internal self images. From being able to admit the things I have done to seeing my own responsibility in causing my percieved suffering, my ego habitually fears exposing these truths to others and accepting them within. Its all too easy sometimes to ignore the elephant in the room or to offload blame.
Maximilian Lembo - you are so aware then. So, then the question is how do you draw the line between these two points. It sounds like you are coming soon ready to shed your skin, to step into the next level of your evolvement as a being. If fear holds you back, it may be that you are holding on to the past (but in a romantic nostalgic way). Forgive yourself because there is no thing that is perfect. Just knowing what you already know, means you can see it. Make the transference or shift internally, and then with time, the outer persona will do what’s needed. You won’t need to do the thinking. It will automatically do it by itself because your body knows how to. Thanks so much for sharing your story with me!!💕best wishes!
Perpetually stunned by how well Jordan is able to draw from a wealth of valuable sources and even more so: how well he manages to then simplify theses complex ideas, weaving them together and thus making them curiously accessible.

there is a joke “do you know why buddhists don’t like using vacuum cleaners?” the answer ......is “because there are too many attachments!”
clever

THANK YOU for tearing down the “live in the moment” trope. it is absolutely unhelpful and patronizing.
Word! That was really good to hear. I was always confused by that one too. When I lived in Cali, it was usually brought up and talked about in order to justify casual sex with someone. It repulsed me! But I thought it was because I was wasnt "getting" something. ...I am now a recovering New Age participant. lol
Biggest lie sold to GenX.
@@amyrenee1361 Thanks for that passage, I like it. I need to read more of that book!
"Knowledge without wisdom", well said.
There are gifts, ideas and even truths that can be found. But it is all cherry picked. I read once that we are treating other cultures and traditions like a shopping mall and its only the packaging we want, really. The book suggested that it is due to US culture being so young. We are humans evolved from tradition, but it takes much longer than a mere 200 years to develop that, so we are latching onto whatever we can find to fill a deep void within.
I thought that was an interesting prospective.
Attachment is the root of suffering. Expectation is the root of all heartache.
In a dual existence (bifurcated?), meaning and purpose give way to suffering and circles/cycles/habits
Learn to let go, do not hold tight. We take refuge in comfort and order.
That one you loved that got away... How much of that attachment was to an idea versus reality?
Many layers peeled away, over years.
Our lens which is an inlet for experience, is proportional to what we are ready for.
I've been torn asunder. It serves a specific purpose. To come back to a clean slate.
Don't let life over time dictate how you are, because of conditioning. Recognize it for what it is.
Circles/cycles/habits dig deeper the rut over time, just like learning to play an instrument.
It becomes autonomous like most of life.
Learn to breathe color and purpose back in to your existence. Be an outward pouring light
versus a gaping black hole
That's beautiful!
thats very beautiful
Wonderful
wow I felt so great reading this. thank you.
Deep wisdom
9:42 “You should conceptualise your highest good and orient yourself towards that”
The sermon on the mount
that part where he was talking about how dostoevsky makes the "villain" the strongest character and then goes after him, made me instantly think of how ayn rand is just the opposite... and a few seconds later, he mentions her. i legitimately cheered!
It's necessary to read Ayn Rand's non fictional works to really understand her philosophy.
And to get an easier concept of her sense of life 'Anthem' is the fastest tool.
Roughly speaking: evil is impotent against good because her metaphysics start with the axiom that existence exists, ie it starts with a positive; the light is stronger than the darkness.
As far as my understanding goes all of the comments in this thread are a misrepresentation of her ideas.
@D. E.
Considering how late this response is and my general ignorance of Ayne Rand this comment might be inappropriate.
I apologize if it is.
I am however very curious as to how Ayne Rand is considered a Nazi.
I'm absolutely no expert of Ayne Rand and I don't fully trust Wikipedia which is the only source I've glanced at for this.
But judging by this quote
(From Wikipedia) "she condemned the initiation of force as immoral[3] and opposed collectivism and statism as well as anarchism, instead supporting laissez-faire capitalism, which she defined as the system based on recognizing individual rights, including property rights." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand)
Specifically, the Opposing Statism part of that leads me to believe she was not a facist, let alone a Nazi. Considering Facist doctrine to my knowledge runs off the basic doctrine (All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.) - Benito Mussolini
How could she be a Nazi if she was against State power and regulation?
If you have some information that I don't or just more knowledge, in general, I would love to know more (:
@D. E. Thanks for the honesty (:
It just really annoys me when people call everyone who they disagree with a Nazi.
Not to say that that's what you were doing. You clearly had at least a reason behind the statement.
I am also a Christian and also won't pretend to be one of the best, or even doing the best that I can. We all have our problems. Thanks for being open to conversation (:
@D. E. hear yee, hear yee. You are so right. Today's Easter, i hope people are actually reading their Bible.
D. E.
I wouldn’t try to read Atlas Shrugged as literature, but more as an intro to objectivism. That being said, do read it, as you have to know what Objectivism is in order agree or disagree with it.
Whenever Jordan Peterson mentions a book, you go read that book.

Oh my Goodness. Just discovered this guy today thanks to CZcams reccomendations. Wow! He is so good! His grasp on the subject is strong and his explanation is enlightening!
formusiconly1 Congratulations friend! I have just been watching his lectures for a year or so, and it has enforced my way of thinking so much ! It is is difficult, however to absorb all of this wisdom. He has an amaze mind and thought process doesn’t he ? I admire the way he slowly and methodically considers any question before answering. He isn’t an egotistical blow hard or condescending. This world needs THIS man at THIS time !
@@jasjones6556 Agreed Jas! We can tell he is not afraid of facing the depths. Would you recommend his books?
I think one of the things I love about JP the most is when he is speaking, you can literally see his mind going and he is appreciating and admiring it almost above and beyond his efforts to teach. Of course this makes him a legendary teacher.
Something happened to me while listening to Jordan; everything seems to come together in one flash.Life immediately seems to become meaningful amidst the chaos and i felt ready to move on and be responsible and acceptive of anything that happens to me and believe that i was at the best place to move forward mysteriously victorious.
Jordan Peterson, I love this guy, his boldness and intellect.
This girl in the hijab is basically as famous as Jordan Peterson.

Hahaha I always notice her. And the blonde girl is late again.
The deeper the attachment, the more powerful grief will take hold when whatever one attaches to is no longer. Love without attachment must be one of the most difficult aspects of humanity to achieve let alone understand its concept.
Do you think love is opposite of attachment?
@@SubliminAL-ql7go Read what I actually said then do some serious thinking about how you interpreted it.
" Live in the moment"
I love when he says something in passing that just explodes in my mind why something never really sounded right, but didnt know why! I have been spending much time struggling and confused at that moment idea.
Yeah that "live in the moment" idea can kick back, and kick back so hard you will struggle to recover.
This man is a genius! I love his lectures, he helped me get my life back on track and evolve in less than a year
The Buddhist story I recall about attachment is the person who uses a raft to cross a river and, once across it safely, instead of leaving the raft behind, carries it with him. Creates a great image. I guess the trick is to work out what you are needlessly attached to that is holding you back and what you actually need (not just things, but behaviours; beliefs and relationships. And that's hard and made harder by the need to get through the bustle of every day.
"Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion-which I would define as…unconditional love-is essential to a Jedi's life. So, you might say that we are encouraged to love."
compassion is not unconditional.
Too bad BS isn't forbidden.
This is disgusting in the best way possible.
@Bas Wenmakers Jordan Peterson addressed that in the video with the reference to Nietzsche. Sure, if somebody is scared of an action but would do it if there were no rules, then they aren't moral, just cowards. However, that does not mean all morality is cowardice. Square is a rectangle but not vice versa. True morality is believing there is something intrinsically wrong with a certain action and refusing to do that due to inner strength and belief rather than fear of outer punishment.
Basically, you're right about some people. Its just that you wrongly extrapolate those cases to all morality.

It’s something special this man is doing
Absolutely breathtaking. Never had a quiet speech raise my heart rate before I started listening to Dr. Peterson. I should have heard all of this long before I became a young man.
Unbelievable they tried to destroy his reputation because he disagreed with legislating the opinions of a small minority. It is extremely important what he is teaching his students (and the viewers) in terms of psychology, philosophy and general life advice. Every time I watch one of his videos I learn something new that actually helps me move forward.
JP really does such a good job of helping you to think and ponder on things in a different way. He’s a fantastic mind!
This is so perfectly awesome! Exactly right! Misery follows wherever you go; if you're miserable, you're not going to get rid of that feeling by feeding it possessions, drugs, alcohol or any other distraction. Attachment is distraction. Importance is the stumbling block to miracles. The wise man tells his student, if you're in a hurry, you might learn your lessons in 2-3 lifetimes; but if you are willing to take centuries or millennia to accomplish your goal, then you might find Enlightenment in an instant. Declaring something -- even time -- to be "important," is a form of attachment. The purpose of this entire universe is one of breaking attachments -- setting us free. And responsibility is the Truth that will set you free.
The "Ivan and his brother" story reminds me of the relationship between Ozai and Iroh from Avatar: Last Airbender in principle at least
That's exactly it.
"The things you own end up owning you"
You most likely won't see it but thank you Jordan Peterson. Thank you for seeking understanding and bringing us along.
Thank you for asking the hard questions. Thank you for showing us how to have courage and step out into the unknown.
I was really hopeful that this was the answer I've been waiting for all these years when he tied nihilism to Buddhism. ...if anyone has the rest of this lecture, you could be drastically changing my life for the positive with sharing it.
Buddhism strays away from the extremes of nihilism and eternalism. It is called the Middle Way. Great lecture but this point is wrong.
There are the Lesser, Greater, and Diamond Vehicles of Buddhism. Myanmar follows the first vehicle which focuses on personal liberation as opposed to the altruistic motivation to liberate and enlighten all sentient beings.
How many Buddhists meditate daily? How many Christians pray daily? A very small percentage of any population who claims to have a religion are actually followers.
The flaming monk was a protest as the then government tried to impose Catholicism with one brother the head of government and the other brother the head of church. The Americans actually interfered to help the Buddhists with all the consequent events. I am not sure about the purity of the motives of the American government, but it is a strange one if not a sincere one. I think it was sincere.

But I don't know which one of those videos this clip was taken from. It's a lot of material to look through.
@@ape1821 You are correct that Buddhism exalts the middle way, but it seems to couch actions in extremes in the translations I have read. Regarding suffering, both Jordan and Buddhism seem to see it as inescapable although we have some say in the details.
Buddhism denounces attachment because everything is temporary.
So is Buddhism.

Did you know the “eye of the needle “ is an actual place. In Israel. It’s an opening in a wall called “the eye of the needle “ which is too small for a camel to enter. I just thought I’d share, it doesn’t change the lesson Dr P is telling.
Great professor- love how he ties so many of the liberal arts together in one class
He is so curious so kind, and so experienced
thank you for bringing in the buddhist awareness of attachment right after your exposition of the camel through the eye of a needle. Beautiful articulations!
So we all know: "The eye of a needle" is a low entrance through a walled city. Too low for a camel to pass.
Wait.... It didn't mean a sewing needle? I know sewing needles weren't trending in biblical times but those needleholes are tiny
TWX Established it makes more sense with andres claim. Because if the camel had a hard time entering the eye of the needle it would require the camel to be able, with difficulty, to do so. But the way I’ve always imagined it as a sewing needle made it so that it was impossible for the camel to enter the eye of the needle and therefore impossible for the rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Nice insight.
Brent Carroll The position of the camel would have to be one of humility... head hanging low, crawling on his knees. Likewise it is possible for a rich person to come to heaven, but it requires the same degree of humility the camel displays.
@@kevinpeach8129
By King James's time, when the first non-latin translation of the bible was made, there were in existence sewing needles.
The eye of the needle was a "single wide" entrance usually for after dark, beside the main gate, so travellers could come and go but attacks wouldn't be effective. A camel could shuffle through after *removing its burdensome bags of valuables*. So you can enter as a rich man, but not with all the riches which make you too BIG to accomplish the "strait and narrow".
The person who is trying to drop attachment continues the momentum of attachment.

I like Jordon because he integrates biblical text
It is so amazing how beautifully articulate and truly genius level art he can speak out. What i’ve learned after some time of listening the JP, is to my avail he is literally free of ignorance. All my questions have been answered.
I’m going through this right now. It is painful and liberating .
normal people: so, when were you born?
JP: so, when did the conditions set up such that you were capable of taking on full functional independence?
Constant truth bombs, JP
That was absolute FIRE at the end!!!!! Orient yourself for this next split second and forevermore
Brilliant. Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing.
One of the impediments to enlightenment is attachment to enlightenment.
If your idea of enlightenment was going to enlighten you it would have done so already
There is no attachment
To enlightenment.
Dr. Peterson neglects the second part of the injunction: "Follow Me."
It can also be so humbling and show you how much love the world has and was willing to give. I'm sure anyone enlightend would see the lessons for what they were and simply seek a bit of guidance. My past experiences have shown me and prepared me as they will continue to do so. Much love

"The essence of balance is detachment. To embrace a cause, to grow fond or spiteful, is to lose one's balance, after which, no action can be trusted." - Thief: The Dark Project
I like the Buddhist parable on attachment: Two celibate Buddhist monks were walking, and they came to a stream. A woman was standing on the shore, wondering how she would cross. One monk carried her across on his back, and the monks carried on their journey. The second monk berated the first for carrying the woman, and by implication, endangering his celibacy. This went on for some time until the first monk turned and said, "I picked up that woman at the stream, and set her down on the other side, yet you have carried her these many miles.

Holy crap, mind meld. I was nauseated by Ayn Rand within the first 10 pages of Atlas Shrugged for this very reason
spiralsone yup couldn’t agree more. Might as well binge-watch Disney versions of fairytales. There’s way more substance.
I love her fictional works, but it helps if you see her characters as archetypical. The stories then take on a mythological epic kind of quality that I find very enjoyable.
Read 'Anthem' first and you'll see how you will not want 'Atlas Shrugged' to ever end.

I was happy but then someone told me I was in love with a lie so let's start over from the very beginning.
Actually the story says that the man, apart from wealthy, was quite a moral man, it says he told Yeshua about him always keeping god's law in his heart and always being a good person, but he wanted to know if there was something else he could do. Yeshua then tells him to sell all his belongings and to give all he has to the poor, and follow him. The story ends saying that the young man went home really sad because he had many belongings, hinting that he wouldn't get rid of them.
Great camera action. Thank you for keeping up with his movements.
This was a great lesson and video and I needed it to saw me the lessons I need to learn

This reminds me of what a character in the Legend of Korra had said, to progress himself further beyond his bonds. He repeated to himself, to let go of his Earthly bonds, and he did, and then he was able to fly, as he was an Air Bender, because of himself letting go of his Earthly tether.

In AA one of the twelve steps to recovery is to find and release your Character Defects...that leads to spiritual awakening and a psychic change (aka rebirth free from the obsession of alcoholism). Burn the old feathers on order to truly fly!

"Good Teacher", the rich man called Jesus. " Why do you call me good?" He asked.
Ayn Rand is pronounced EIN. In her Playboy interview she said it rhymes with "mine," which, if you know anything about her, you know how appropriate that is.
Fine

Attachment is the biggest impediment.

I think what he means towards the end (orient yourself towards the highest good that you can imagine and then live in the moment) is something like: put yourself in a direction towards fulfilling yours ends (whatever they happen to be), but avoid getting attached to their fulfilment. This is the idea of going after something while accepting its negation (so to speak). You are effectively accepting life at its present state (hence living in the moment) while also following your inspiration (i.e. the highest good that you can imagine). The outcome will be a pursuit, or rather a journey which is joyful precisely because the feeling of fulfilment does not depend on the outcome: the process itself is what's doing the fulfilling.
