      I found him around that time too, 2015 or 2016, when he started appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast. Joe had interesting psychologists on often, but that first exposure to JP just blew me away. Then I discovered he had all these lectures of myth and Soviet ideology, two things I'm fascinated by. And then had written a book to help people with depression take back control, which I was struggling with at the time. I owe so much emotional and intellectual growth to Dr Peterson now.

      I totally agree about Dostoevesky. I read "The Brothers Karamazov" for a college class-- "Sacred Symbols and Patterns of Thought Through Time". That was something like 30 years ago, and I still think about it. Especially the chapter called "The Grand Inquisitor." So much yearning to know truth, so much confusion, complications, false ideas mixed up with true ones.

      Kinda helps with the whole memory recall thing. I can remember in my middle school years having a friend from PR named Freedom. Wasn’t his real name and he barely spoke a lick of English. We nicknamed him Frito as a result because of how he annunciated his name in his broken English dialect and accent. However, his favorite snack was chocolate peanuts. For some reason I had a sense of awe and surrealism how he was so enthralled with the excess and accessibility to his favorite treat. Which, made me aware for a moment that he probably didn’t have it as good as I did before we met.

    I've been a long-time follower of Dr. Peterson, but what really struck me about this video is Dr. Peterson's advocacy for the humanities. I am a student of History, and I have felt over the past several years this sense that my study, along with the rest of the sister disciplines in the humanities, have been denigrated constantly, accused of being an area of knowledge that no longer provides any sort of economic or moral value. The prevailing rhetoric now is that young people either have to get a STEM degree, or go into Trade School; there is nothing else in between that is a worthwhile effort. It seems as if there has been a moral darkening over the population, a growing fixation with what is practical and not with what is good. Yet we've seen with the handling of the pandemic that there is a need for a humanitarian education, because we are increasingly faced with the crises of unethical science and governmental policies. I hope that soon, Dr. Peterson will not have to dissuade people from studying the humanities, and that our western civilization once again rediscovers the importance of the humanities. After all, the study of the humanities was one of the only things that pulled Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance and Age of Reason.

But I did something called The International Management Programme...so I had an AMAZING professor lecturing on the papers in my 4th year, to do with international management. And that experience, was the first time I ever had my mind and horizons in an intellectual sense, truly broadened.

    "Part of being a good person is to alleviate suffering." (16:52)
    That explains so much.
    It explains the polarization we see today; when we reach a conclusion about how to reduce suffering, we tend to think that others who don't see it that way are working against us.
    It explains the temptation we all have to dehumanize those who disagree with our own perspective on what causes suffering and how to reduce it.
    It explains why Dr. Peterson has often expressed frustration at people teaching a false morality; chasing after that phantom good only increases suffering, rather than decreasing it, while simultaneously helping its proponents *feel* virtuous and moral.
    To know how to truly reduce suffering long term, you need to know the foundational truths of existence.

    About halfway through a man mentions a smoking addiction and how he realised he used it as an excuse to not do certain things. That was definitely a big part of it for me.
    It's sad but especially after I had my child and was done breastfeeding I started again because I was around it and that made it easier to pick it back up..but many family members were only willing to watch my child when I was smoking.
    So I kept smoking because "why not" (and I was depressed and stressed). Until I started to realise I didn't want a smokers cough and I didn't want to spend the money...then I realized I could just say I'm smoking but choose to breathe and take a moment instead. One family member did thankfully understand and was kind to knowingly watch my child for a bit while I just had a break (without smoking).
    Back to being honest..I discovered who I wanted around me and my child anyway vs who I didn't. The people that were refusing to watch my kid if I wasn't smoking...all of them ended up being people that I now cut out of my life for many reasons. Just being honest about that one thing was a big hint.

    Dr. Peterson,
    This was a great compilation that captures your findings on the power of writing, sorting out your past, and transcending it into a positive future.
    I particularly enjoyed Tim Ferriss’s point on how Viktor Frankl’s motivation to make it out of the concentration camps was to finish his book.
    I can’t divorce the connection between Frankl’s desire to finish that book (or his life’s work) and his aspiration and drive to return to and “finish” the life of righteous intent he had chosen for himself. He ultimately transcends the evil bestowed upon him and being the father of logotherapy and the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, I’d say he positively impacted not only his own circumstances but those of thousands of others taboot.
    He’s a perfect example of what you’re trying to convey here. But thank you always for your daily reminders of self-reliance and strategies for overcoming life’s inevitable suffering. You are changing so many lives for the good, just like Frankl.

    Peterson has changed the world - and my life - for the better. I know at the end of the day he is just a human, flawed and imperfect like all of us, and I don't agree with everything he says. Sometimes I've even gotten mad with Jordan. But that's alright, because he is authentic, and brilliant and that. His teachings have allowed me to call myself out on my own bullshit more than once, and more importantly, they've helped me find meaning after wasting so much of my existence on so many meaningless vices. You are a gift to the world Dr. Peterson, flawed, yet brilliant, vulnerable, yet brave. I wish you a long and healthy life and many more years of teachings to come.
