Jordan Peterson | Political Correctness and Postmodernism

- He’s been cheered and condemned, boosted and banned… and now he’s at ideacity to offer perspectives from the front lines of the political correctness battleground. Professor and clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson believes that no matter how controversial, we must recognize the importance of free speech - particularly on college campuses.
- Věda a technologie
Why does everyone confuse Peterson’s rejection of compelled speech with Transphobia. They don’t take time to actually listen to the words, only what they want the words to mean.
Who, REALLY, was it that pushed the C-16 stuff as far as legislature anyway? Was it really true trans people themselves? Or was it neomarxists just finding another bandwagon to jump on for their own agenda - another 'oppressed' group "in need of levelling-up compassion" to add to their portfolio? True trans people know full well that a man can't get pregnant, but the neomarxists have to claim absurdities precisely so they can invite rebuke from nay-sayers and thus continue to justify their claims of 'oppression' by those nay-sayers. Meanwhile, their ears must remain closed to truth, in case the truth might corrode the edifice of absurdity they have constructed, and cause it to come crashing down.
@@bababa0184 no, he actually said he would call transgender people with their pronouns on an individual level. He is not agreeing with the legislative approach to it
@@bababa0184 right! It depends if the individual deserve your civility or not. He also said in harvard discussion that he can identify the individual's intention speaking to him whether its a genuine plea for help or manipulation or attention seeking. Doesnt mean he is a transphobic though.
@@bababa0184 I mean I just find the question absurd. It does not do anything except assuming his level of aggreableness. Even if he is transphobic lets say, Im not saying he is, he wouldn't openly said in a public discussion that "no I would not use a transgender pronoun whatsoever". Its like asking a criminal whether or not he would rob a house tomorrow. Im sure Peterson is a decent person and the question does nothing to gauge the level of transphobia of an individual.
The need to hear what the want to object to for objects sake. There need is not to hear what is said but what can be used, even if it means distorting perception.
Once the fingers gets fluttering He's at his Very Best!!!
Hope this reaches you, all these months later, but I started laughing when I read this. So true!
@@over-educated-sp Lol Tru Dat. Fingers fluttering means he's at his very best explaining extremely complex principles. But he Also plays with his wedding ring when he ponders a point.
We are Extremely fortunate to have him in this MESSY day and age.
😂 😂 😂 So true
It’s my favorite part. Like he’s starting to play the piano and perform his verbal symphony.
@@andrewreyes730 Perfectly said!
Love how Jordan never steps himself down in order for people to understand him, he forces you to come up, stretches your brain to comprehend what he’s saying
Great comment. Intellectual leadership in action.
That's what annoys me about a lot of modern speakers. Like man, I'm not a braindead 2 year old at least!
He speaks so well/carefully and adds in enough information and context that you can learn what words mean just from listening to him and putting together what he says.
Hm. His thoughts are clear. But by making you fill in the gap of the more detailed information connected to it, you would end up having to either disagree with the connection you came up with yourself or disbelief the surface idea, to disagree with him.
In a way, that forces you to agree with him or to find yourself in a position where you can't reasonably disagree with him because what you understood from him is based on your own interpretation.
Yes but you must have a functioning brain to understand reasonable conversation! That's where the ignorant fools commenting here are lacking.
I've never loved listening to anyone rant like this man in my life. Pure genius
Try Bill Hicks ;) thank me later
He actually has a recording called "rant in E minor" 😄
If you watch 10 minutes of this and your mind isn't blown, you're either a genius or you're a liar.
That segue into evolution was absolutely mind-blowing.
That man is a GENIUS! When he says that "it is ressentment and the demand of power disguised as compassion" what's driving the politically correct world! Bam! You cannot get clearer than that!
Pace Nietzsche.
Yahul Wagoni yep almost taken directly from Nietzsche - Peterson himself would acknowledge this and it doesn’t make it any less awesomely true.
sad but true, i think
PC Speech is Fascism disguised as manners. George Carlin
@Jackie O. That I don't have what you have or that I might have to actually work for it.
Love that, "Even a French intellectual had to admit something was wrong!"
Sartre was a great writer when it comes to modenise greek tragedies and theatre. However when he does straight philosophy, you have a bad taste of ashes in your mouth
The funniest is he does that after stating they are not stupid
@Sir Sleepy I don"t know the reference either but as a French, I can say it is not that often French people admit they were wrong on something. So, in the case of highly intellectual people, I cannot imagine the odds of this actually happening...
L
@Sir Sleepy This is how I understand it, from watching a video of JP talking about post-moderism in another video...
Marxism and Communism were compelling ideologies for intellectuals in the 20th century. That was until the dead bodies piled up in the 10's of millions in Stalin's USSR and Mao's China.
The French philosophers couldn't support these ideologies any longer, but they still liked the idea of a great "utopia".
They changed it a little bit, and called it post-modernism.
Activists 60 years ago: “I don’t care if you take me to jail, you can’t make me fight in a war I don’t believe in!” Activists today: “You have to call me xe/xim”
how do you even pronounce them
@@paloma_oni you don't because those are not words.
@@robdel_actual exactly
@@paloma_oni just say "it". It's gender neutral and accurate
@@gabadaba5436 I mean that’s a big maybe considering that’s a noun used for almost exclusively inhuman or inanimate beings when used directly. We typically don’t call people ‘it’ because it’s dehumanizing for those with a very solid grasp on the English language as it currently is.
I used to have a leftist leaning tendencies but but when I listened to Jordan Peterson’s discourse about so many current issues it opened my mind and accepted how blind I was to follow the left ideology. Jordan is one of the brilliant mind in this generation.
Welcome to the civilized side of society my friend.
Jordan is pretty left leaning if you look at it from my standpoint
Not the best way to say this….If you take the blue pill you can stay in never never land and believe what you want. You take the Red pill I’ll take you and show you how deep the rabbit hole goes!
Hey Pablo, I lean left, but do not buy or follow the left (or any) ideology. The two are not synonymous. I like some of the liberal ideas, and some conservative ideas. My job as an INDIVIDUAL is to make up my own mind on individual issues. No ideology will tell me what to think.
@@DigitalGus75 And that's how it should be, that is thinking like an adult. You just have to keep in mind though, that feelings don't balance check books.
The sheer number of people I meet that buy into postmodernism (often without even knowing it) terrifies me to my core.
Spoken like someone that's not familiar with a single postmodern text
Yes so many people don't know what post modernism is. Define it for them.
@@gavinreid5387 Do you have an objection to Peterson's definition in this video?
@@damienpol5215 what is your definition?
S T people don’t like ur definition. Have you read any post modernism?
I’m in favor of Dr. Peterson’s definition. I don’t think Progress is at the core of the issue.
Every time I hear him speak I learn something new about the puzzle that is life and the human sprit, and I’m 62 years old. He has to be one of the greatest minds of his generation and I love how he studies, quotes and melds together some of the historical great minds in his field. It makes me think when I listen to him, which is a good thing. He quotes Niche often, one of my favorites is “thinking is difficult, therefore most people judge”, how powerful is that!
Think that quote js by carl jung.
@@prasannaacharya8672 Yep
Like most conservatives,, he's a moron and a hypocrite.
The United States of America is a liberal nation founded upon Liberal ideals
by a bunch of radical revolutionary capitalists.
@@joelsattler8420 What country are you talking about? The United States of America was an experiment in minimizing central government power and control. It’s very foundation was individual Liberty, entirely the opposite of the Liberals of today. I’m not sure where you were taught about American history but they got it all wrong. Freedom is when I can do anything, unless there is a law saying I can’t, not the other way around as Liberals would have it today, telling me what to think, what to believe and how to behave, no thank you, I have a brain and know how to use it, I don’t need the help of the Government or anyone else…..that’s called Freedom and it’s a wonderful thing. Read George Washington’s farewell address which is a warning against exactly what’s going on today inside the Democratic Party. The Founding Fathers believed in independence, liberty and a meritocracy. That’s why they set up a Republic and not a Democracy. They are very different and that’s why Benjamin Franklin made his famous remark about what form of Government had been established, his quote is roughly as follows “a Republic if you can keep it”, today it appears we can not. God help us all.
He is one of the greatest minds, isn't he? Glad they let him on the stage.
This man has an amazing ability to crystalize concepts.
The greatest thinker of our time. Jordan Petersen saved my life.
Guess you've come across very limited thinkers in your life
To anyone questioning Jordan Peterson's interpretation of this, and the language of Bill C16, there was a case before the Human Rights Tribunal in Canada exactly as he said. "Jessica" Yaniv used the legislation to identify as a woman, and took 12 immigrant women to the tribunals for refusing to perform Brazilian waxing on his testicles. The businesses were ruined, and the cases spent months in trial before reaching a verdict. Had it not been for Blair White, and many others who pulled extensive racist and bigoted social media rants from Yaniv, the tribunal would not have been able to reach the conclusion that this was an attempt to use a new law as a means of extortion to target immigrant women. This is exactly the case Jordan Peterson said would happen after this law passed.....and it did.
Should be pinned
Seconded
This should be pinned.
Fuck Ms Yaniv, wait sorry that's not going to happen like ever...
@@humanbean5722 Mister Yaniv more like.
Huge thanks to Jordan Peterson's parents for creating this gem.
It was a random happenstance if you dig down hard enough.
I respect the sentement of your statement, but if you watch some videos on his life history, you'll find he's a gem in spite of his history. That such a troubled and flawed person can be such a brilliant human leader is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit in all of us.
Huge thanks to God for creating this gem.

I would say, the world's treasure.
He's one Canadian I really wish would move to America. Damn you, Canada. :)
Very true. I did not vote for Trudeau and I am glad he was not silenced by the Political Activists who tried so hard to get him fired from being a professor. We need articulate men like him to counter the silliness that is infesting"intellectual thought" today.
Just when I think I have figured Peterson out, I discover that there's a whole other level to what he is saying.
O boy. The levels just keep going too.
And going and going....
I have the same experience. I find myself re-re-listening to his lectures, and usually being distracted by the the very fact that I am uncovering something new so that I am constantly re-winding just to get back on his rambling narrative track.
Textra1 you said it
Until you reach the level of the cosmic battle of good and evil, you need to go deeper.
Incredible intellectual, refreshing to experience and quite the contrast from the predictable, self-proclaimed, “intellectuals” we’ve had to endure for the last few decades. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
Peterson identifies as an intellectual too. The point that is being made here is that there are counterpoints to all arguments and it's important to listen to both. So try not to side because you fancy him.
He is so eloquently that I can understand perfectly what he says, even tho is a complex thought, with my broken english. And that's because his words makes perfect sense
He's so brutally precise, it's giving me a head spin.
He has to be. He can no longer afford to speak in vague terms, precisely because his circumstantial political opponents, postmodern Marxists, can spin his words out of control and use it against him.

This man is a force of nature👏👏
J Edgar Hoover "The communists have developed one of the greatest propaganda machines the world has ever known. They have been able to penetrate and infiltrate many respectable public opinion mediums. They capitalize upon ill-founded charges associating known honest progressive liberals with left-wing causes. I have always entertained the view that there are few appellations more degrading than "communist" and hence it should be reserved for those justly deserving the degradation.
The communist propaganda technique is designed to promote emotional response with the hope that the victim will be attracted by what he is told the communist way of life holds in store for him. The objective, of course, is to develop discontent and hasten the day when the communists can gather sufficient support and following to overthrow the American way of life. .."
Hover was America's first federal secret policeman. Starting with the immigration red scare in 1919. No propaganda was to false no method to dirty in Hoovers hunt for reds.

Neila Pasa No. Not even close. As long as private property rights are upheld, the US is not a commune. Can/should we all help our fellow man? Of course. At the expense of our individual liberty? Never.
Thank you Dr. Peterson. You’re our biggest weapon against these lunatics. Anyone who knows the history of humans should be terrified of giving governments more power.
Right. Let's start with getting it out of women's decisions about what can grow in their bodies.
You are so right Jesse. At this very moment in history we are losing our independence to the new despots through digital currencies, digital records and surveillance disguised as progress and protection.
It's not the governments you should be afraid of, it's the sociopolitical factions that take them over.
Who else misses good old times with profound speeches from Jordan and digging old videos to find some juicy pieces of wisdom?
Each time I hear J.P. my brain smiles in happiness.
This man is a genius, because he knows he is not and willing to keep searching for the truth and keep learning, and welcomes challenge to his theories.
I agree. It's not his conclusions that overwhelm me.

One of very few good news 2020 - JORDAN P IS BACK!!
JP is a genius in how he takes all these concepts and explains them effortlessly. I've been working in my field now since 2001 and he woke me up to the fact that I am no longer content with what I'm doing. Which is true. I've been miserable doing what I'm doing for the past couple of years. I'm 46 and decided I want to join the Canadian Armed Forces. I'm very familiar and comfortable and with this institution and I made a firm decision to join in Feb of 2020. But COVID hit and since my math suffered, I knew that I'd do poorly on my aptitude test. So I devoted a year to go back and learn math all over again. Online math, books and a tutor. I did the test and was told that I did exceptionally well. my interview and background checks are complete, now I'm in final processing. I live by 12 rules for life: an antidote to chaos. I could have very well stayed where I'm at until retirement. I needed to find a guy like him that would encourage me to get off my ass and not be content with mediocrity and come to work miserable. And to top it off, he's a homegrown Canadian :)
Spit in the face of mediocrity, and go beyond.
It is ironic that “we have students that never want to hear a negative word” and yet they are eager to listen to words that are negative in their subtle destruction of a strong, truly peaceful and contented society.
"they" probably have a very different experience with this "strong truly peaceful" society aka the state and other americans
If this group were every single student in the US, you would be correct.
Not all of these people are students, many of them found Dr. Peterson appealing and have converted themselves to agreement with him
@@eaglesridge7896 Did you just have to say something for the hell of it? Saying not all is not an argument. It offers nothing to the discussion.
@@Shushkin then perhaps some clarification. The original commenter seems to be making the argument, or rather discussing, the possibility that the same student Dr. Peterson accosts in this lecture are the people watching it, and making his argument invalid and hypocritical.
My counterargument is that his audience is far from wholly representative of the student body, nor is it likely that his audience is representative of the people Dr. Peter is mentioning.
In essence, I am saying commenter one fails to note that while people in his talk are being reasonable patient, and often asking well made, competent questions, there are students, who in multiple instances have directly worked with Canadian universities to prevent the speeches at all.
Nor does is represent protests in relation.
That makes the original point dubious in my understand, but I am happy to come to a better understanding of the whole situation, if there is one to be had.
@@platonic_bomb a misrepresentation of what jazz man meant. As a tendancy, the students who never want to hear a negative word are left wing/Marxist leaning. They lap the ideology up that is destroying the society around them by perverting values and instilling a culture of struggle and resentment. A society without values is like a model ship without glue - fragile.
This is one of my favorite Jordan Peterson videos. And that can't be said lightly.
even more than #4 ( I think) of the psychological significance of the biblical stories -- the one where he starts with the letter from some person in Argintina taking hallucogentic to dream - of him, even though she did not know him
And yet you did ....
What about the Channel #4 interview, out of curiosity?
Rob Vel Agreed. I somehow missed postmodernism in my studies - maybe even avoided it because it appeared superficially vacuous. Now JP gives me a logical interpretation in 27 minutes! Can we clone him for our kids?
+Rosseo B Did you check and see if it was #4 in the Biblical series? I never saw that one and it sounds mind blowing. He has so much material out that I haven't seen all the bible series. I've been trying to figure out this thing of collective conscious and that sounds like a case of it if there ever was one.
That is the best talk I've ever heard by Dr. Peterson. Just wow
His talk & Nietzsche quotes remind of a quote of Eric Hoffer: _"It is doubtful if the oppressed ever fight for freedom. They fight for pride and power - power to oppress others. The oppressed want above all to imitate their oppressors; they want to retaliate."_
Yeah totally. What makes you think if you were oppressed the moment you gain the upperhand you wouldn’t immediately become the oppressor?
That certainly is true for South Africa
Oh my god he is evolving. This isn't even his final form!

If you can not explain it properly yourself, then you don't know either, so in that case, what Peterson said here was not what was truly going on in your head.
Love this. In 1983 I was a naive young woman dragging myself out of poverty and a 12 year long relationship with a Maoist, who read the Peking Review and banned fiction. I was completing an Hons degree in literature then, and the deconstructionists hit our universities. I was reading Yeats; Things fall apart/ The centre cannot hold/ Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...The best lack all conviction/ And the worst are full of passionate intensity...Now, I'm 73, and I see his words reflected around me everywhere. We need men like Jordan P to speak, as poets, and others, spoke in the past, carrying the burden of freedom on our behalf.
How in all do u end up with a Maoist? Well, glad you're out of that. Theres alot of fairy headed idealists out there right now
John 8:36 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
@@AwakenedAvocado Nothing wrong with the idealist perspective, except that like so many other "philosophies" it rests upon a world view that is extremely NAIVE. What can work would be a realist idealism.... but none of this "if only they hadn't done blah blah blah, it would all be gravy and every day would be the best of our lives". Unfortunately to give children happiness, we give them fairytale nonsense stories giving them the opportunity to NAIVELY believe in paradise or monarchal rule as a legitimate goal with ZERO in depth explanation or a "how could one get there" discipline. All it does is set the children up for heartbreak & disillusionment later in life when they're taught absurd idealism in their naturally naive state of childhood.

I love hearing Jordan speak. Thank goodness we have great minds like his speaking up against idiocy.
Jordan Peterson's family is currently facing a health crisis. His wife Tammy is very ill after a surgery, performed abroad while he was on tour. Complications have set in, and Jordan has, as I understand it, been essentially sleeping at the hospital to be near his wife. Prognosis is guarded. The condition is painful but not manifestly fatal. Positive thought and prayer (for those who believe in such) are appreciated.
This is why Jordan has been mostly absent from public spotlight for the past few months.
An update on this comment. Tammy is doing much better. Strength and weight are returning, all tests are currently coming back free of cancer.
While I'm not an authorized "speaker" for the family I do have knowledge of these thing. Many thanks for those who offered metaphysical support during this time. Here's hoping for a full recovery and hoping for a return of JBP to public life if that is his desire.
I'd speculate that the new life in the public eye for him and his family has caused a lot of stress probably having an impact on health. I hope she comes out of it well. Thanks to Jordan and his family for their sacrifice to teach the average person this knowledge and understanding so that in the future there will be far less suffering on humans from the evil of totalitarianism. Mankind will be thanking him for the ages, one hopes.
Good that he's a Canadian otherwise the family would be facing steep medical bills here in the USA.
Wow sorry to here this, thanks.
@HardkoresCorner Yes, because your conservatives aren't properly funding it. This is by design to make people want a private solution.
Relentless master. No mercy when exposing the truth.
When Jordan says "I invite you to think about it", I certainly do!
This video wasn't long enough. Brilliant.
My god I love this man. A burning light in a sea of darkness that is the university mind set.
Sadly it is not what universities tech today. Freedom of speech and expressing ideas has become taboo
I want to go back to university but the reason I've justified not to at this stage is this current marxism and wokeness plaguing our educational institutions, it's sad. How could you go about it whilst minimizing exposure to this or is the entire universities values simply compromised now.
@@darrenmcgovern1969 I cant remember who, but someone said to me that i was going to university not to be taught what to think, but how to think. Critically think. That really needs to be a fundamental tenet of university study. To learn how to think , and now today it seems the university has shifted model to teaching young ones what to think. Not how
Dr. Peterson nails it again!
I think his conclusion at the end is absolutely right. It's a minority of far left radicals fueled by negativity, trying to gain more power, hiding their intentions behind a mask of equality and morality. Trying to bully and shame those who go against them.
Thank you Jordan. It's refreshing to have an intellectual debate on a topic that is ruining society.. Its much more constructive to have an intellectual at the head of this debate rather than drawing out the thuggery extremists whose mere presence just adds fuel to fire of political correctness. I think its important for people to understand that we are against racism, against hatred, and we do agree with the modern views but the way to achieve it is not through political correctness. You can't fix a bad painting by painting over it, you need to start with a blank slate... period.
"Even a French intellctual had to admit that something was wrong..." Hahahaha. Genius
No, that is called being bitter. Even Peterson can succumb to petty emotions from time to time.
no, Benjamin was correct, not bitterness Crimson, but genius.
Yes, there are jokes for those that are paying attention. Ha ha.
Well, there have also been lights within the French intelligentsia of those years. Albert Camus, for example. He was radically opposed to Communism. I fully understand what Jordan Peterson is talking about (I think), partly, because I read the "Myth of Sisyphus" and "The Rebel", among other works years ago, and partly because Nietzsche was my most intense philosophical reading in my youth.
THE ORIGINAL PROFESSOR CHAOS Your sacred Founders (hello Jefferson) were deeply influenced by French philosophers, such as Montesquieu. Take a look at your constitution and your native language’s origin.
You are still dealing with Descartes, Thomas Aquinas, and others’ teaching while Europe already digested and learnt from them.
You are still afraid of words, such as “socialism” while Europeans already learnt from it and created some of the most efficient welfare states ever.
French have mandatory philosophy courses in high school, you don’t.
With regard to America’s intellectual history (which is almost non-existent, you guys suffer from the worst case of anti-intellectualism I’ve ever seen), I would suggest you to get off your high horse.

@Douglas, can you come and do my flat when you've finished?
I have done some study on Neomarxism and Postmodernism but have never considered that the latter is an offshoot of the former. Brilliantly and cogently articulated. Thank you Mr Peterson
Totally brilliant by Dr. Peterson. Dismantling post modernism in 15 minutes. Pretty much impossible to argue as well.
Jordan has two abilities (among many) I particularly admire. He has the ability to speak brilliantly and eloquently about very complicated subjects, yet he still manages to avoid talking over the heads of most folks.
Gifted fella, he is.
This guy is an intellectual Titan!
Always time in my life for a solid dose of Dr. Peterson. Thanks.
Argument ending @ 11:50 also is an excellent critique of the Multiverse theory. The ability to conceive of any number of possibilities or physical realities is not the same thing as their physical or conscious viability, because that involves the interrelationship of all things the act of which causes some to be meritorious, others untenable.
I'm overdosing on red pills
IKILLEDROGERRABBIT gfy 😂
I am not sure it's possible to overdose on something that does you good, is it?
Hahaha Maybe
What?
It was more of a blue pill for me...
If you know what i mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Freedom of speech is NEVER our enemy. It must be treasured and protected AT ALL COSTS. Even if you disagree violently with what is being said, it is far better that opinions are voiced in a public arena and subject to counter argument than for them to be driven underground. They sure as shit DO NOT just "go away and die", they hide and grow. Suppress free speech and one day you yourself will find yourself on the receiving end. Prof Peterson speaks wisdom and common sense.
They should have a dark souls boss music playing whenever Jordan Peterson walks on stage
"The only thing they fear is him."
-Elena Richardson
The man says it as it is. We need a lot more of this.
Yes truth and accountability.
God I love Jordan Peterson. Not in a special pronoun kind of way either.
That's fair
I enjoy Jordan so much. I have learned theories, ways of thinking and have become more self-aware. I generally have to pause his videos just to process his thoughts he expresses so eloquently. I am just an average guy, and I need to Google half the the terms he uses, but I love it. I am impressed that even with the considerable time he has spent pondering these issues, he looks for any rational explanation which might dispel his conclusions. That's a free thinker, no confines.
Lastly, I find it humbling after watching Dr. Peterson. I am not as quick to give knee jerk reactions to political arguments, theories, etc...I feel entitled to have feelings about any subject, but understand I am an expert on nothing! He's helped me to think a situation through before I spew BS having not thought an issue through.
You don't understand, i'm divorcing, i'm losing my house, it was jordan peterson that made me stand back up 10 folds the better person i was. I got rid of the bad eggs which is the divorce. Now i'm making 4 times the amount i use to, have balance in life and i'm saving up to see him just to thank him.
@@sonnyjem Good for you man! Very well indeed.
@Tony G got news for ya bud, your so not average. Slowing things down to process a nd filter, who does that? Expanding awareness new ways of thinking? One has to widen their external interface, Is that even possible? How did I know that? A desire to know not assume the words that we hear, it sounds like to me you engage in a way, that is not normal in any possible way. The sheep don't even intake half the words they hear, you're way smarter than them you humble person. You remind me of someone I know, because he too had a learning curve. An IQ of 80 abysmally low, then one day he started to push against his bubble that space we live in our own awareness, he kept pushing and pushing he simply won't stop ! and the bigger it gets, the more it encompasess he started to see and think everything clearly. And those around him they started to notice A visible difference that left them wondering , "did aliens come down and replace him with this?" About that time he started to think, "hey maybe I should retake that test" so he did and what he found was a 169 an impossible feat! No documentation to support this increase in intelligence not anything with those kinds of numbers. And you sir reminded him of that. You are on a rarely traveled road, so don't stop now. I wish you good luck even though you won't need it you'll get where you're going I have no doubt.
That’s growth my friend 😀
Tony G, you seem admirable. Hope you are doing well buddy! Best of luck with everything just keep killing it 🔥🔥😁
“that second dose of soma had raised a quite impenetrable wall between the actual universe and their minds.”
- Aldous Huxley, “Brave New World”
Right wingers quoting Huxley lol what a brave new world *barf*
"We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares.
But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another - slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. [Zuckerberg...social media] Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions". In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.
This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right." - Neil Postman (Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business)
Literally every time I listen to this man I learn something new. Kudos to this incredible intellectual
He is a FORCE and incredibly sexier as he gets older.
Greatest things to come out of Canada: Jordan Peterson and RUSH! Thank you Canada

17:10 I was trying to explain the same thing to some radical friends of mine, but this is so well written and versed I wish I had it on me to quote directly in the future. Well done fred
I love the logic and common sense. The passion he has for the truth gives me hope.
What have we done to our beautiful societies.
We destroyed them in the name of Liberty.
Okay
I was going to say the same thing before I saw your response.
Equality to a true American means equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.
You can’t get equality of opportunity without freedom.
They were stolen while we were distracted by bread and circuses.
They are destoyed by evil
He's right, the love of power is demonic darkness..disguised as an angel of light.
This talk is one of its most impressive ones I have seen of Jordan Peterson.
It must now be the 6-7th time that I watch it and I am each time understanding better all the nuances and points he is articulating here.
The post modernist is driven not by compassion but by a passion to seem compassionate.
Haha. Jordan trying to get all that content down to 15mins! This is the fastest I've ever heard him talk! His accuracy of speech, philosophical reasoning and analysis, common sense, and desire to bring forth life-enhancing and world-enhancing truth is so well articulated and condensed here. It's extremely impressive to hear him.
Takes guts to call Sartre a bonehead
Not really he's dead. What's he gonna do? Fuck those googly eyes though.
I took a course in Satre at university and I can say I got exactly zero out of the effort. That guy was a waste of space.
chavruta2000 :
No. It takes a bonehead to be comfortable with being called a philosopher.
It only takes a brain.
wonder what he thinks of Camus.
17:10 Here as a footnote. Loved this part.
I’m so proud of myself. I’ve listened to enough JBP talks that I can understand this particular lecture, despite the sophisticated layout of his arguments.😊
Nice to see another nigerian appreciating this
@Dennis 👊🏽👊🏽
I admire this man. He is a role model for the people. I look at him and think, "how can anyone be this intelligent?", but then I remember that he started from the bottom like everyone else. His intellect is something we can all have, it's just a matter of how much effort you want to put into obtaining it. I feel privileged to be sharing the same timeline as JP. He is making me a better, more aware person
And there's the fact that some people are inherently more intelligent than others.
way too overly simplified... maybe try starting with reality next time...
Intelligence is not something you gain. You are born with or without. Sure, you can train or neglect your brain, but you'll maybe manage to get 10% better or worse. Sorry to bring you this harsh reality.
But the good news is: I think you mostly admire and were talking about his knowledge. THAT is indeed something you can aquire and depends on how much effort you put in. Less intelligent people are often more knowledgeable in their field than really intelligent ones, since intelligence and lazyness correlate pretty highly. Intelligent people who also put in the work, like he does, are quite rare.
well, if you know enough of his principles and ideals then you will know he also credits his dad with arguably the most important thing that has been given to him from a young age - the ability to read. This is not something that is within the grasp of everyone or anyone - so many single moms out there. It is also the reason he states emphatically that divorce should not be an option - what is best for the kids should then become the most important priority
"All genuine humanity is characterized by simplicity and clarity in being and in action. It displays itself in the smallest as well as the greatest matters. The simple clarity that is evident in his political nature is also the dominating principle of his entire life. One cannot imagine him putting on a front. His people would not recognize him were he to do so. His daily meals are the simplest, most modest, imaginable. He dines no differently, whether it is with a small group of friends or at a state banquet. At a recent reception for officials of the Winter Relief program an old party member asked him if he could have an autographed copy of the menu as a souvenir. He paused for a moment and then laughed: “That’s fine. The menu stays the same here; anyone is welcome to look it over."
"When he gives a speech he knows each detail. His working method is entirely clear. Nothing is further from him than nervousness or hysterical tension. He knows better than anyone else that there are a hundred problems to be solved. He chooses the two or three he finds most central and works on them, undistracted by the remaining ones, for he know that if he solves the great problems, the problems of second or third magnitude will solve themselves.
"An artist becomes a statesman, and his historic work reveals his remarkable abilities. He needs no external honors; his greatest honor is the enduring permanence of his labors. But we who have the good fortune to be near him each day receive light from his light and want only to be obedient followers behind his flag. Many times he has told the circle of his oldest fellow fighters and closest friends: “It will be terrible when the first of us dies and there is an empty place here that can no longer be filled.” May a gracious fate ordain that he live the longest, that for many decades the nation will continue under his leadership along the path to new freedom, greatness and power. That is the honest and passionate wish that the entire German nation lays in thankfulness at his feet. Not only we who stand near him, but the last man in the most distant village, join in saying:
“He is now what he always was, and always will be: Our Hitler!”
Excerpted from Our Hitler: A Radio Speech to the German People in Honor of the Führer’s Birthday, by Joseph Goebbels
Peterson at 4:27
You're doing the Lord's work.
Thanks!
I think the intro is pretty interesting, too. Let's make it very clear that the politically correct regressives are the ones trying to shut down discussion. They have zero high ground, and that's a HUGE part of the national discussion we need to be having.
Thank you 😊
It just so happens that I finished reading 'thus spoke zarathustra' today and happen to stumble upon this video of prof Peterson. My god everything makes sense, everything just seems to be clicked together!
Another masterpiece, Doc🙌🏼 Jordan Peterson nails it all the time💪🏼
Cathy Newman should have watched this before her interview. She would have been more prepared and might have performed slightly better.
@Michael_S_K I am really laughing
So you are saying??!!!
Don’t knock Cathy! If it hadn’t been for her and her car crash of an interview, quite a few people wouldn’t even have heard of Jordan, and I have to confess that am one of them, and now he is one of my absolute heroes. I have binged watched his lectures until my eyeballs are hanging out of my head at 4 am!
She still would've lost, the entire foundation of her misguided beliefs is based on lazy half-logic and postmodernist lies.
@@stephen8176 Exactly. Until she fixes her bad reasoning and questions her own beliefs, there's not way that interview would have gone better -- unless she was humble enough to actually learn something.
Jordan, I wish his voice could resonate in North America, Europe, Australasia..oh, it has! I only hope people will listen.
I'm from australia, he came here but a bunch of dumbasses asked him stupid questions only to be burnt hard.
Socialists: "We want equality of outcome for everyone. Let's elect someone who will provide that."
Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Castro, Chavez, etcetera, all in unison: "Here you go. You're welcome!"
Socialists: "No, that's not real socialism, ... Scandinavia is."
Scandinavia: "Sorry, but we're not a socialist society. We are just as capitalist/free market as you."
Socialists: "Yes you are ... you have such a rich economy."
Scandinavia: "That's because we work hard."
Socialists: "We don't want work, we just want to level the wage gap, so that everyone is getting the same fair share."
Scandinavia: "You mean like Mao & company did, so that everyone is starving literally to death?"
yeah people do misnomers all the time, China and Scandinavia aren't commie. Commie states work hard but the fruit of it is distributed excessively to the elite, the administration.
@@okidokiliteratureclub706 Scandinavia may not be communist, but China is run by a single completely communist parliament. While China has not fallen into complete totalitarian rule, yet, their socialist policies (like the social score system they've implemented just recently) are slowly making it so.
@Andy Bloos
USA didn't ceased to be socialist, USA was never socialist.
But, USA did had far far far better fiscal laws to redistribute wealth among it's population (like Scandinavia has) and they did completely abandon that, consequently leaving a huge chunk of it's population to starve in all dimensions of a decent occidental life.... Education, health insurance, standard of living, etc....
Hitler wasn't that sort of socialist he did not advocate for equality he openly said the Arion (sp?) race was superior.
@@AnnaLVajda Yes, he believed the Aryan race was superior and that many others would have to go. That was part of his Marxist approach to his own nation. But his brand of national socialism (nazi) was still socialism affected by the writings of Marx. And I was more or less pointing out the fact that death is an outcome that proves us all equal, and that these dictators used it to attempt to "equalize" their nations to their own standards.
It's hard to find a news media site that covers the truth from all angles, but this is a good start: www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/hitler-and-the-socialist-dream-1186455.html
*I hope he feels better soon.*

Canada's canary in the coal mine. Standing ovation...bravo good sir.
Brilliant what a great thinker.
Peterson for Prime Minister
My dog thinks he's a cat. When will all this insanity end. I refuse to say, here kitty kitty.
he is unstoppable... one of the best speakers ive ever heard. He has such a wide range of knowledge and with that he brings high levels of detail. Genius is an over used word, however in this instance its very suitable to say that Professor Jordan Peterson is a genius.
Stop fawning over JBP, please.
It gives ammunition to his critics who dismiss him as the cult leader of braindead zombies.
@@enematwatson1357 Jordans critics would not rate very high on my attention span.
