This channel is a diverse collection of video clips that I have personally found to be "intellectually actionable" so to speak, in that all of them contain complex, dense, but useful information presented in a straightforward manner.
Some of these clips are used as source materials in videos I make on my primary channel that further expand upon complex ideas relating to psychology, culture, politics, philosophy, religion and more.
I also upload random clips or full length videos from my primary CZcams channel on this channel as well.

If you're a fan of Jordan Peterson (ASIDE from his antics on twitter), consider checking out my primary channel where I go into more detail on Peterson's work in "Maps of Meaning," as well as some other sociocultural topics: www.youtube.com/@PFJung
That’s actually a really functionally real definition of morality
yes and less about karma
@@ckocko444 In a way, except morality, and how he described we come to know it through action is reflective of karma. Karma just means "action" after all. And he is saying through our actions we can come to know what is good and bad for us based on what those actions bring us - which is actually the process of karma. And our actions, along with what it brings us, is a function of who we are and specifically what we do within our own life context. Karma just extends that to a spiritual realm of the soul... but I actually don't believe that it is much different at a functional level.
I'm not sure this definition really works. Because a sadist could torture someone else, which I'd say is immoral, but under Peterson's definition, if the torturer does not suffer negative consequences as a result, it was a moral action.
@@hansomekim1219 Hmm.. that is an interesting rebuttal.. I think I'd counter that someone behaving like that would be hurting others, and, even if they don't get caught or punished their actions damage the social fabric and is immoral in that sense... I do think you have to take into account the effect one has in the world as part of their system of feedback
Perfect
I love old school fat Jordan
@@CR-rm4iy It's not even a weird diet it's literally only eating beef. And then going on about the morality of others.
Love him both ways
What has changed - his weight???
@@priscillarodriguez268 I would say what changed is that he got corrupted by the algorithm. These guys are always great and have amazing thoughts, but then they find out that if they change their opinion just slightly to cater to a far right-wing audience, there's big big money involved. Happened to Russel Brand too, and many others.
I love old school Jordan cuz he is less self righteous and more psychologically explanatory
...The actual hell are you weirdos even talking about?
A lot of confusion in the comments. Karma is in reference to peoples actions aka “cause & effect” not a perfect life. Watch the video before commenting
Examples? For this type of immortality
All is relative
Hmmm ... where's the karma?
I think he’s saying that if you do something immoral then you will suffer negative consequences one way or another which I believe will always be true because I think anything you do moral or immoral will result in negative consequences one way or another, but what I’ve always found absurd about karma is that bad things happen to good people all the time which is completely unfair and makes no sense if you believe in karma
I understand noone cant warp the fabric of reality. “It snaps back at you or loved ones” and I believe karma transcends this…plane. JP is a lifesaver.🙌
Dr. Peterson, if you ever come by my comments: I am suffering because I guess I did the same harmful things over and over again, I was dumped righteously so I think. I guess Karma is snapping back at me. I wish there was salvation.
It's a strange definition of immorality. What about things you do that result in outcomes that are catastrophic for other people but benefit you? I would think that's immoral but it won't necessarily "snap back" at you, you could keep on benefitting and other people keep sufferening.
I really wish I believed in karma and I wish I agreed with Jordan Peterson that "nobody ever gets away with anything ever" but life has taught me differently. Selfish people get away with selfish acts all the time.
Depends on what you mean by benefit… some may think they are benefitting by, let’s say, stealing, but I see your point
The guilt of knowing you've done something wrong, it will live far longer than the pain it caused. The people you hurt can get help, because they did nothing wrong. You can't.
And those rare few who don't feel pain and guilt the way the rest of us do, well, the consequence of their actions will follow them forever. Everyone will find out eventually what kind of remorseless monsters they are, and they will never know love. No matter whether they are surrounded by short term pleasure, they will never see the true beauty that underlies the human experience.
@@stevedasbru great insight, i agree 100%, wise words.
technical indeed considering that karma doesn't exist.
Karma exists, it is 'action' , or immoral action as explained in the video , it's very real just misunderstood
I wonder what his karma is going to be
Nothing to do with karma as explained by the Buddha. Nothing at all. The Buddha never speaks of immoral but akushala karma (unuseful/unbeneficial). It refers to any volitional action through body, speech or mind of which, if it produces its karmic result, the result will be unpleasant, give rise to unhappy feelings. And to think one can deceive oneself is, of course, a nonsense, requiring one self that deceives and another self that is deceived. According to the Buddha, however, having a wrong understanding of how the world works, not believing in the workings of karma, for example, is akushala karma of the mind.
Am happy u use the wo rd tec chemcial
When speak on drugs weed is not a drugs
All my boss i ever have here is a crack head under cover, and they come out are cute as this one 😢😮😂😂😂❤🎉😊😢
Go to a children’s hospital. You’ll see that karma is completely false
I don’t want to be disrespectful as I completely understand what you said …. But the teachings of Hinduism explain that nothing is cause less (like a mutation forming into cancer) as karma is defined as action or a deed it is in fact the cause for cancer you just don’t know which karma caused it (could be that the great grandfather of the child ate an apple gifted to him (so a good deed was done) but it formed a mutation which gave cancer 3 generations down.
@@maximilianthiel8485 I believe that the idea of the universe punishing you for something someone else did before you were born both idiotic and disgusting.
If it was true, then very bad people would all have really bad life experiences. But that’s not always the case.
I completely disagree with you
@@travman1987 when you do a deed good and bad things follow and you don’t know the factors forming the consequences it’s an observation not a belief…. You should look at it without trying to find an entity or someone to blame as that is not part of the theory… also it is not my opinion but a teaching of an religion so you can’t agree or disagree with me as I haven’t stated what my view is… I see this is deeply emotional to you so you should find someone to explain it in person for you as a CZcams comment hardly suffices
@@travman1987 look at swami tadatmananda for the complete explanation how the teaching explains the unfair world you correctly observed and judged ( I really think you are saying the truth but your understanding of the teaching is wrong(Christianised in some way))
Jordan became a model of the world that is not like the world in reaction to parents that cannot tolerate their actual experience of their parents.
Jordan could not get away with his actual experience, so he learned that lying worked to keep negative emotional reactions and overt alienation in abeyance.
Jordan's constant lying, not only disconnected him from the feedback of his internal signals but also has him resisting and contradicting internal signals.
Jordan's disconnection, resistance, and contradiction of internal signals cause perpetual internal imbalances, anxiety, and dysfunction.
lol Only one lying here is you, to yourself, concerning the above.
@@MrMawnstercan you direct our attention to something I wrote above that does not come from Jordan's communication?
@@Mike_Lennox The part where you assumed that Jordan is or was that sort of a person
I may have read this incorrectly but I believe that the OP is actually just using “Jordan” as a replacement for a generic subject to better expand upon the points that Jordan has laid out. I don’t think it’s a personal attack on Jordan himself. Correct me if I’m wrong.
When you try to take so much responsibility for a world that isn't your fault, yes it would create internal imbalance. He cares deeply, perhaps too much and he is a blessing.
Those who want to destroy him are disturbed and inconvenienced by the truth.
