Regarding Jordan's final point that everyone has a darkness inside them, there is an old Cherokee proverb that goes like this. The elder would say to the child, "Inside everyone is two wolves, one good and one evil, that are locked into a fight that never ends, both fighting to kill the other". The child would say "Which wolf wins?". Then the elder would reply "The one that you feed".
Dark wolf (evil) always wins in the end ... Cause guess what.. We all die... You can only prevent him from taking your life for so long.. The reaper gets everyone eventually.. It's a shame most people don't know they will be better off.
@@pinkusfloydus9373 not if the good wolf produced enough positive actions that effect the world beyond death. Then and only then is when death is defeated.
I love how people title these videos with these positive affirmations... and then you watch the video and it's Peterson reminding you that you're innately dark and violent and you should get over yourself. hahaha
Maybe, but just look at children Ashley, they grow up naturally selfish and bratty, you don't have to teach a child how to be selfish, self-centred, uncaring, not to share, to talk rudely etc. but you DO have to teach them to be unselfish, kind, to share, play nice etc.... A child that is allowed to run on purely it's own nature - tuns into a monster very quickly lol
What an absolute genius. In a previous lecture, Peterson discussed how he actively observed what he says and to not say things that make him appear weak. In this lecture, he could have easily said he was “bullied” for being mouthy as a kid but that would have come off as weakness subconsciously to his audience. Brilliant man and an inspiration.
@@ergaberga8356 I see nothing wrong with admitting that you were a victim of something in fact I believe it is important for the healing process after said event. As long as you don't stay a victim and adopt a victim mentality. You must admit and acknowledge so you can heal and then grow stronger. If you never admit to yourself what happened you may have a hard time healing, for in order to heal you must acknowledge that you were hurt/bullied/victimized etc.
You misunderstood him. It's not that he doesn't want to appear weak, he isn't that vain. He doesn't say things that make him "feel" weak. What he specifically described was that when he told the truth, when he said something that truly aligned with his inner self, he felt strong and he felt whole. And when he didn't tell the truth, he felt weaker. Like he was coming apart at the seams. That's what he meant by avoiding saying things that made him weak.
i'm learning more about myself from this man more then any counselor or doctor I've ever seen and he's made me really realize a lot about myself and I'm grateful.
What he said at the end about realizing how he's not so different from there inmates--and how we needed to respect the dark side of ourselves--is _so_ refreshing to hear! When I openly talk about the things I have felt (never done)--or even acknowledged that I have a "dark side"--people look at me like I'm strange. I realized, through various situations in my past, that _no one_is above anything. To put it another way (this is how I explain it to people), "everyone is capable of anything...it simply takes the right set of circumstances to bring those actions forth". We need more people like Jordan Peterson too have the important conversations.
With all due respect to his brilliance, only an absolute nerd like Jordan Peterson would have the realization about his inner monster through meditative self analysis. Most of us figure it out through experiencing our capacity for brutality first hand when life puts our backs against the wall.
WorldByTheTale That hurt to read. I abused drugs for close to a decade and I've done things one can 'marvel' at. Even worse, in a way, I was proud of my self somehow for experiencing that which I've experienced yet surviving. Even after getting clean I used my past to manipulate my present. Only a year or two ago, through, constantly hitting a wall within myself I realized my actual value. No, I don't beat my self up about it, no one should. But one must understand the depth of a human in order to begin the search of a right perspective.
tngsnow ... it's apparent in the context of your comment that you do not understand the idea Mr.Peterson is trying to convey.. I do believe this topic to be analogous to perceptual qualia, you won't grasp it unless you have a bias of sorts, past experience or philosophical understanding of self ... notice his arrogant character and lack of morality due grandiose superiority in the opening, the story climaxed at the walk in the yard with his cape.. he was less of a (him) Because he was too ignorant and arrogant to see the intention and malicious nature of others, he was too confident it blinded him, upon reflection he was much better than he was, because he was now aware of his inadequacy... he seen the deceptive way his beliefs we're making him a liar, manipulative, and easily victimized...
3141592-2952413 777 By being so pretentiously obtuse in your vernacular, you fail to perceive that our interlocutor and the respondent have also gleaned their own lessons from Peterson's anecdote. Both were valid points to reflect on, but rather than considering them you took the opportunity to behave as a highfalutin aristarch.
sole21000 I don't think I'm pretentious, rather unapologetically truthful, my message was not rude it was to be helpful, he mentioned a problem, I did my best to answer it , without thinking he required nicety... also yes I picked up on the ironic semantics I. your reply lol
Precisely, but I think it’s intentional. More people are willing to click on a video that they perceive will be about self improvement, (which Dr. Peterson is renowned for) then about how your perception of yourself needs to change.
Because Peterson is so engaging that the title becomes irrelevant. I clicked on it and did not notice the title dis not match because I am always draw into what he has to say.
Amazing that he started to meet his shadow at such a young age, wonder whether he had a good childhood? Most never meet theirs, and I am only just beginning in the middle of life. What a good video, thank you. He is helping me to bring out my courage and motivation to meet anbd embrace my shadow. I haven't been aware of the fact that i wasn't real, since the oblivion of the shadow- and of the higher, true self as well, - was unconscious and involuntary. I had heard about it, but have been too stessead and in a health /energy crisis all my life. Congrats to all who are here and do it!
This guy is so inspiring, but people have to want to change in order to change most of the time in my experience. For me it straight up takes a traumatic event sometimes to motivate me. I wish it was so easy. :3
Absolutely agree. We (each individual) can be much more. But much more of WHAT ?????????????? I was taught by some (apparently) very smart folks that quality is at least as important as quantity. And sometimes less is more.
"I was in prison wearing a Sherlock Holmes cape and matching boots". Jordan, welcome, and join the club!! You bare the mark of a true eccentric!!! As for your comments on the shadow self, what would make ME pound on someone's leg with a hammer (apart from the obvious - the orthopedic surgeon with patient under anesthetic!). The answer? If I was literally fighting for my life. If someone was trying to kill me, or my children. Or if the pay - off was so massive that pounding on someone's leg with a hammer could, say, save the world, or something along those lines!
Colgate Max White Maybe "Thou shalt not murder" would be a better definition because murder is a legal definition. If I had to kill someone to save myself, or someone else, (my loved ones for instance), I would kill someone else. But in lesser circumstances would I kill someone else? I like to think I would not.
See, that's the thing that I think he is driving at: You would "like to think not" but no matter how moral or righteous we may think that we are, there's a personality buried deep down inside that is capable of absolutely horrific things. If we choose not to explore what might make that part of us manifest itself, there's absolutely no chance of us preventing it from coming out given the right circumstances. However, if we are aware of what would have to occur for that to happen, there's a chance that we can take appropriate action to stop it before it comes out.
I think these are only a few conditions of many. I think you, and all humans for that matter including me, are capable of so much more hatred and violence than that. Even if the guy were innocent, you only need to believe that he's evil, by your own personal moral compass, and all doors of unimaginable cruelty would open up to you.
You didn't really read much into what Peterson said, you're talking about a really basic situation, when he was talking about a more complex one (hurting someone because he could be the reason for you to ending up in jail) Getting physical to defend yourself is one thing, deciding to hurt someone for your own interest is another, and that's what he was talking about
This was a great snippet of knowledge and not only that, it had a truly interesting story in it. Much more interesting than usual. *Also, greetings from Portugal, i hope you liked your cape* :p (unfortunately I have no idea what cape he bought, capes aren't all that common, but the only one I was able to find with any cultural significance was the "Capa de Burel", which means "Burel Cape")
Jordan, your comments on the danger of the intellect is spot on, as one would expect. I don't know, I'm a relatively intelligent person, and I have always been very conscious of the dangers of it, such as becoming prideful, stagnant, complacent etc. So, I am intensely self-critical, to the point where I frustrate those around me because of my, frankly, self-destructive tendencies. I think a balance has to be met. If you, as an intelligent person, refuse to acknowledge value in any of your work, why would you carry on doing them? Is it because others see value in it? If they do, how do you stop them and their compliments from going to your head? Perhaps a certain, realistic, level of love for your work is necessary to actually stay humble and carry on doing work.
If the danger of the intellect is that it can move you towards pride and arrogance then is that also true for 'Stupidity?' . . Is the danger of stupidity it's ability to move you towards pride and arrogance?
Here's what the Bible says Dr. Peterson. Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" we're all capable of utter wickedness.
This is what A Course in Miracles teaches as explained by Dr Kenneth Wapnick. It is essential to recognise and come to terms with one's dark side. If the Regressive Left could understand that they would see that any kind of Utopian ideal is just plain impractical apart from being downright dangerous.
I tend to agree with everything Jordan says, so I'm not saying he is wrong here. However, how can he be so sure that there is something more in every person? What if I have hit my peak at a very low level, and that's just the reality? How does he know there is something more?
UltraTribes because if you study something you will eventually learn it. We just never start because lack of faith in ourselves. Neural plasticity never stops .
UltraTribes how do you know? Read the book psycho cybernetics by Maxwell maltz. There are free pdfs on the internet. Limiting beliefs will destroy your life. Also get the memory book by Harry lorayne. Respond back when you get them. They will change your life. I'm waiting
16 years of constant failing at everything, depression, total absence of a social life. I'm no expert, and I'm not trying to claim that I am. I just know from experience what's possible for me and what isn't. Sorry if I was implying a definitive statement.
I wish he would say more about the process when he tried to establish what kind of psychological change he would have to undergo to be able to pulvarize somebody's leg. How can you do such self-examination?? It's so interesting to me. I for example also think, like he did, I could not do that. And I had an experience where I thought of hurting somebody physically, like for the first time ever I genuinely considered that in that tough situation. But it was more like preparing to defend myself, more than attacking. But to do such harm and pain completely unnecessarilly, instead of just pacify the person is completely beyond me.
Isn't this hypocritical 1:56? The danger of the intellect does not tend towards pride and arrogance, although most authorities of it's possession do so but rather more so in their philosophy behind the intellect, this leads to an intellectual laziness which leads to a lack of critical thinking for the sake of pigeonholing the many minutiae within argument's/debates in the world. There are too many aspects to consider which is why people try to create any general consensus to simplify the complexity in understanding human societies but an overall consensus without reverting to mathematical models or very logical metrics cannot fully cover all aspects within the world to describe human speculative arguments.
One positive of all these Jordan Peterson lectures is that people like myself can learn and improve the life of myself and the people around me, with the teachings of a highly decorated psychologist from a highly regarded university in America that would cost me thousands to go and study. One negative I have just realised is that these videos could also help people on the other end of morality, who want to commit acts of malevolence.
I think he just means he thought about that and nothing else for a long time. Google defines meditate as: _intransitive verb_ To engage in focused thought on scriptural passages or on particular doctrines or mysteries of a religion, especially Christianity.
I can't really remember where I read this but anyway ' if you can't push it pull it with one hand I build with the other I destroy ' I am sure that the who are you going to be is a fabrication from the perfectionistic point of view anyway, I am happy about myself that I do not piss people, off too much whilst being hedonistic I am a good listener yet I paint the pictures that I feel so drawn to and if I merge them with myself that I can see a strong individual and a colourful pattern that works with all emotions as any human advisably should but to forge and break down are all destructive and creative processes that unfortunately are all part of the full package to be and we'll never be perfect it's pointless striving for perfection nothing is perfect we need to be who we are and go according to our strengths and weaknesses to work on and I truly believe that when you're doing that eventually you merge and forge a stronger individual be pessimistic and think for an optimistic solution nothing is black and white it's all grey
Thanks Jordan. Wow, I love how switched on you are. You don't do status quo and speak about how things are, even challenge the way things are to an extent. There is no fear if it disrupts the way things are. I suppose it is more of assisting people break denial about what they think about the way things are. Love Love Love this guy man!!
Arrogance is related to totalitarianism, but I think thatintellectual arrogance doesn't necessarily stem from intellectual ability c.f. the phrase 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'
Jordan Peterson: You can be so much more than you are Me: I know I can be more than I am. I just can't figure out how! haha I want to be an engineer and I'm certainly capable of it. I'm probably capable of doing much better than that, but an engineer is what I want. My problem is that I hate studying, so uni is out of the option. Studying is boring and takes too long. I mean generally you only have to tell me something once and I will get it, but not everyone does and I hate having to wait around for everyone else. If there was a way for them to just give me all of my assignments and I can just get on with it and hand them all over in a couple of months and they could give me my diploma I would love that! But it's obviously not possible. In the end I would rather not go through it and not get my job than suffer for a couple of years and do the job afterwards. An apprenticeship or being a trainee seems appealing but I'd have to take a large pay hit to do it and I can't afford that. I have too many responsibilities. Ah well. That's the way it is I guess. Just best to keep looking for opportunities and just enjoy life while I'm at it. Not everything is gonna work out perfectly in life. I suppose it's my fault for not finding my calling until after my school years too. I should've worked harder when I was younger, not like I regret how I spent my school years.
Well doc, I can't force anyone to give me a higher paying job so, I don't know.... I guess I should just be passive and be grateful for what I have, right? Even though I barely get by. Yes, no?
Hi Sisters and Brothers, I'm trying to find a video where he talks about obstacles using driving and an old woman crossing the road as an example. Does anybody know where I can find this?
Y did the short prison guy shot them n the back of the head? Did he not want to see there faces, crying and struck with fear. Did he start with the plan but then started to regret it but they saw his face so he thought he had to kill them but didn't want to??????? Idk just thought it was strange that he did it n the back of the head
I love these personal insights into professor Peterson's personal life and what made him become the man he is today.
bruh... or lady/apache attack helicoper/whatever 🤣 why do I get such kicks on these ironic profile pics. katchupp 100
weren't you impressed when I took my first surfing classes?
Don't you think that was an incredible sleap of courage?!?
I was so impressed by myself that I believed this is "the way to go" d there's no other way to succeed

Juvenal Banal very true!
Nothing wrong with realising your own depravity and ability for evil.. it's actually the only first and start-off road to being a 'good person'.
Captain Zane, very true. I'm actually, thankfully just learning this now!
haley k you could also view it that we are innately good and conditioned to be bad by our upbringing
Maybe, but just look at children Ashley, they grow up naturally selfish and bratty, you don't have to teach a child how to be selfish, self-centred, uncaring, not to share, to talk rudely etc. but you DO have to teach them to be unselfish, kind, to share, play nice etc.... A child that is allowed to run on purely it's own nature - tuns into a monster very quickly lol
Well if nothing else I've learned the word "innocuous".

What an absolute genius.
In a previous lecture, Peterson discussed how he actively observed what he says and to not say things that make him appear weak.
In this lecture, he could have easily said he was “bullied” for being mouthy as a kid but that would have come off as weakness subconsciously to his audience.
Brilliant man and an inspiration.

Struggle & struggle well my friend🌵😸🌵
Be all you can be, join the JP Army!
The first minute is relevant to the title. The rest is “Jordan Peterson’s prison story”.
Which was also relevant (just not to the title). Very interesting and even scary insight into human nature.
I wish he would say more about the process when he tried to establish what kind of psychological change he would have to undergo to be able to pulvarize somebody's leg. How can you do such self-examination?? It's so interesting to me. I for example also think, like he did, I could not do that. And I had an experience where I thought of hurting somebody physically, like for the first time ever I genuinely considered that in that tough situation. But it was more like preparing to defend myself, more than attacking. But to do such harm and pain completely unnecessarilly, instead of just pacify the person is completely beyond me.
Be a person that beyond our natural instinct.
What if ur not well articulated? I have a stutter. How can I win fights, how can I stop feeling like crap?
Isn't this hypocritical 1:56?
The danger of the intellect does not tend towards pride and arrogance, although most authorities of it's possession do so but rather more so in their philosophy behind the intellect, this leads to an intellectual laziness which leads to a lack of critical thinking for the sake of pigeonholing the many minutiae within argument's/debates in the world.
There are too many aspects to consider which is why people try to create any general consensus to simplify the complexity in understanding human societies but an overall consensus without reverting to mathematical models or very logical metrics cannot fully cover all aspects within the world to describe human speculative arguments.
These videos are never what the title says they are.
Peterson looking like the Godfather in the thumbnail
The Global Excursion Peterson in a Italian Accent "you come to me on the day of my college lecture....go ahead take a seat."

I had to pause and google "define innocuous". Then paused again to google "define pulverize"
2:20 The totallione intellect (intellect arrogance, really important)
Never make the mistake of getting on Dr. Petersons couch with muddy shoes on and proceed to grind your shoes into the fabric.
rob "Darkness!"
Fuck yo couch nigga?

Thanks, dr Peterson.
This is well explained in Rule 8 :Tell the truth or atleast don't lie.
One positive of all these Jordan Peterson lectures is that people like myself can learn and improve the life of myself and the people around me, with the teachings of a highly decorated psychologist from a highly regarded university in America that would cost me thousands to go and study.
One negative I have just realised is that these videos could also help people on the other end of morality, who want to commit acts of malevolence.
Well if nothing else I've learned the words: "innocuous" "pulverized" "snitch"
I’m genuinely curious what meditations he used to come to that place. Like I wouldn’t even know where to start.
I think he just means he thought about that and nothing else for a long time.
Google defines meditate as:
_intransitive verb_ To engage in focused thought on scriptural passages or on particular doctrines or mysteries of a religion, especially Christianity.
"I'm a smart person" - Jordan Peterson
I can't really remember where I read this but anyway ' if you can't push it pull it with one hand I build with the other I destroy ' I am sure that the who are you going to be is a fabrication from the perfectionistic point of view anyway, I am happy about myself that I do not piss people, off too much whilst being hedonistic I am a good listener yet I paint the pictures that I feel so drawn to and if I merge them with myself that I can see a strong individual and a colourful pattern that works with all emotions as any human advisably should but to forge and break down are all destructive and creative processes that unfortunately are all part of the full package to be and we'll never be perfect it's pointless striving for perfection nothing is perfect we need to be who we are and go according to our strengths and weaknesses to work on and I truly believe that when you're doing that eventually you merge and forge a stronger individual be pessimistic and think for an optimistic solution nothing is black and white it's all grey
Everyone is capable of causing horrible damage that's why I hate people on the whole
Life blows
Thanks Jordan. Wow, I love how switched on you are. You don't do status quo and speak about how things are, even challenge the way things are to an extent. There is no fear if it disrupts the way things are. I suppose it is more of assisting people break denial about what they think about the way things are. Love Love Love this guy man!!
Wow, powerful.
Very articulate
Very insightfully presented ...honesty best policy..
Could someone send a link to the full lecture, please?
*you could be more as you are, can't you see? you could be anythingg you could be free*
Why end so soon???
Arrogance is related to totalitarianism, but I think thatintellectual arrogance doesn't necessarily stem from intellectual ability c.f. the phrase 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'
Thanks Red Skull. Didn't know u were so intelligent
Lol he just explained himself that he is Sheldon done right
Jordan Peterson: You can be so much more than you are
Me: I know I can be more than I am. I just can't figure out how! haha
I want to be an engineer and I'm certainly capable of it. I'm probably capable of doing much better than that, but an engineer is what I want. My problem is that I hate studying, so uni is out of the option. Studying is boring and takes too long. I mean generally you only have to tell me something once and I will get it, but not everyone does and I hate having to wait around for everyone else. If there was a way for them to just give me all of my assignments and I can just get on with it and hand them all over in a couple of months and they could give me my diploma I would love that! But it's obviously not possible. In the end I would rather not go through it and not get my job than suffer for a couple of years and do the job afterwards.
An apprenticeship or being a trainee seems appealing but I'd have to take a large pay hit to do it and I can't afford that. I have too many responsibilities.
Ah well. That's the way it is I guess. Just best to keep looking for opportunities and just enjoy life while I'm at it. Not everything is gonna work out perfectly in life. I suppose it's my fault for not finding my calling until after my school years too. I should've worked harder when I was younger, not like I regret how I spent my school years.
On the same boat
Wow I kinda went through this kinda thinking.
He's not wrong
Well doc, I can't force anyone to give me a higher paying job so, I don't know.... I guess I should just be passive and be grateful for what I have, right? Even though I barely get by. Yes, no?
Hi Sisters and Brothers, I'm trying to find a video where he talks about obstacles using driving and an old woman crossing the road as an example. Does anybody know where I can find this?
Nicky Santoro (or Anthony Spilotro in real life) comes to mind.
Doesn't address the title and I know JP does address it in other videos
Hmm, interesting. Especially the last part.
Shadow Work
I'd love to see a photo of him from that time!
He can be so much more as well...... He can do a great voice over for Kermit the Frog! He needs to get full potential out of his life.
Seemed like the video kind of cut off, is there somewhere else with the full talk?
If I were more than I am, then who would I be?
"You can be so much more good person that you are"
Wow Jordan is great. I read about Lucifer and the intellect in blavatsky's books.
Some people call me the space cowboy...
Yoo are you getting ads revenue without a copyright strike?
I'm a new youtuber, please teach me.
What lecture is this taken from I wanna hear the stuff around this
Any one knows which lecture is this or have the full link?
Link to the whole talk?
Anyone know the full speech name?
He has a great stature for a live action Rick (Rick and morty)
Y did the short prison guy shot them n the back of the head? Did he not want to see there faces, crying and struck with fear. Did he start with the plan but then started to regret it but they saw his face so he thought he had to kill them but didn't want to??????? Idk just thought it was strange that he did it n the back of the head
Misleading title.
wrong tittle?
