From now on if somebody asks me "What are you doing," I'll respond with "At what level of abstraction?" Lol

This lecture saved my life

It is very rarely the case that a professor gets an applause after a lecture. This video shows us the power of honest and truthful tutoring that is so lacking in modern universities which are, in part, contaminated by blind idelogical rigidity on the part of the teaching faculty. Well done Dr. Peterson!

I don't know why but I love how always starts off very quiet and soft-spoken and builds and becomes more animated and passionate, you can hear in his voice and see in his face and movements that he truly loves what he is talking about, that this is his passion. Even if you don't understand it all, and I know I certainly don't, it is always enjoyable to listen to someone speak on something they are passionate about.

Watching this lecture series is what is called true education.

"Possibility shines through structure with meaning. Follow that meaning or suffer the consequences." I don't know if there is a better way to describe the entire human existence in just two sentences.

5:51 "What you think about the nature of reality appears to have some powerful relationship with how that reality unfolds itself.'

This lecture was particularly good.

Beautiful. Enthralling. Passionate. Sir you are enlightening us all

Weird thing. But I like being alive so I can enjoy things like this. So much deep knowledge from Dr. Peterson. Thanks Doc.

I think part of his genius is how he makes complex concepts accessible to ordinary minds. Seemingly on the fly.

Thank you Professor. Another great lecture.

Why was this lecture the only one I had never seen and yet it's the most important part of this series and exactly what I need in my life at this point

Just finished Smolin's Time Reborn. This lecture was the perfect appendix to that book.

NEW WORD circumscribe (v.) late 14c., "to encompass; confine, restrain, mark out bounds or limits for," from Latin circumscribere "to make a circle around, encircle, draw a line around; limit, restrain, confine, set the boundaries of," from circum "around, round about" (see circum-) + scribere "to write" (from PIE root *skribh- "to cut").

I learn so much watching this channel

Personality psych was one of my favorite classes I wish I was able to take more classes in greater depth

On “the book”: Meaning is given as much as it is found

21:20 - Imagine you’re reading a book Me, into pg. 208 of 12 Rules for Life: Say no mo’ 👌

This ones a hidden gem!💎

Am I the only one who thought of this pipe painting again and again while listening to him and was just so surprised when he showed it himself? That was even a bit scary...

"I'll tell you a dream I had about this . . . " This guy must have the most interesting dreams. . . On another note, one thing that I haven't heard so far is the virtue of humility. To humbly be open to and seek the truth, to humbly be willing to change when new reality "shines forth" makes a big difference. Otherwise the construct of ourself can ultimately crash when a large enough piece of reality interacts with it.

The dream he described is very similar to one of the dreams of a research subject described in Jung's Psychology and Alchemy.

Astonish how all this is possible in language....

'books find you' (from the film: The Hurricane, starring Mr. Denzel Washington).

As a former chemical engineer/formulator, TiO2(titanium dioxide) is a metallic white pigment used in coatings, plastics, and all sorts of things. I’ve never heard of anything large being made of it though haha

Brilliant! Great, great and great.

The betrayal kiss of Judas, is the presumed self awareness and image death.

1:10:00 Is the best part of this lecture.

28:00 PEER VIEW of the FRAMEWORK. When do you find it? Where is the GROUND OF REALITY? AFTER you discover the REAL TRUTH of the SECURITY you grounded your foundation of comfort and confidence within. IE: FAILED RELATIONSHIP GOOD stuff! 🙌

Great lecture. The sphere in the dream is similar to the concept of the Merkabah in Jewish mysticism.

20:40 “What IS the BOOK” Binswanger VS Boss. BINSWANGER has GOT IT! There is the, CONTEXT, The BOOK, & YOU. 😌👌 24:10 (MAP Explanation)

"I'm going to talk a little bit about existentialism today" is the understatement of the century LOL

I've seen the short clip, and you said that morality was basically that you notice whats wrong and you act on it in micro fixes. But that's the point, is that allllll morality must be chosen by the individual. It only works if the individual chooses to rise yo that level themselves. Morality must include agency. Morality, imposed morality, without agency will always end in oppression.

I just love this man's mind/personality mix, I'll say . Always adding to my understanding of the world but more importantly to my struggling yet wonderful life. much appreciation

53:23 It's the ball from your dream

I’ve done these micro corrections. Those are his reasons why I deserved his betrayal. I’m still with him. I’m getting yelled at every day for asking him those questions that led him to betray me. I’ve been gaslighted. Betrayed. Blamed. Now I’m being shamed. And his actions are justified. The betrayal kiss of Judas, is the presumed self awareness and image death.

Would be good to compare concepts of consciousness of Phenomenology and Vedanta

There's an interesting explanation about the pitcher below, which I would have never thought. My intuitive reaction was thinking that maybe the image wasn't really supposed to make sense, showing how the human brain can find obvious connections between many things, but not all things, and that might signify the beginning of absurdity. Especially since this particular image was standing next to the only image where the signifier was the exact description of the object. Later, I also thought that maybe it's just that you have to go a little deeper to fully understand things, cause everything manifests itself in various levels of transparency. And then I realized how the pitcher looks like a bird physically, with its full rounded body and its little beak perking out. Anyway, just some thoughts. :D

3:40 wait really??? I independently came up with that as my theory of consciousness years ago!!! I imagined that consciousness is defined as the ability to perceive time in the form of a line as the 4th dimension, analogous to the 1st dimension of space, rather than the 5th which uncertain particles live in. And that that's the only way that the afterlife can exist because consciousness requires a quantum computer that when separated from chemistry, it's disconnection to chemistry disconnects it from the constraints of the 4th dimension and it survives in the uncertainty of the 5th dimension in another quantum state. This is also supported by the work of Dr. Stuart Hameroff on Orchestrated Objective Reduction.

A pitcher can be like the bird, in the sense that the bird is the container of predigested or liquefied food for its chicks. The pitcher is the container for water or any combination of ingredients we mix together to make the refreshing drink for those we entertain. The glasses into which we pour the drink into, in this context, are perhaps the chicks of the pitcher, then.

Think about it this way.......

The greek word phenesthai is spelled incorrectly and the correct one is phenesthe. Is also doesn't mean to shine forth but its meaning is related to the false, shalow, easily perceived image that we desire from others to become accepted and perceived as truthful.

I think Peterson has a propensity to the dark and dark thoughts with the nuclear question of the 1980s, the mass killings of the communists/socialists in the 20th century, the existentialists (a grim lot), the depressing works of Nietzsche, Dostoevsky and Solzhenitsyn -- and for all that learning there is a great sadness that comes from it. Something like that is also mentioned in the Bible -- that knowledge brings great sadness or heaviness. And I know his personal life is not easy either.... so, what to make of it? Temperament? I don't know but we are recipients of his insights, of his maps of meaning as he stumbles through the dark cave of life and we should be somewhat grateful. But I personally don't buy the expected big heaps of angst or nausea or anxiety or depression or boredom as the "authentic" response to life demanded from the existentialists. Heidegger was a cad in life and his anxiety was probably from his fear of getting found out. Rationality is powerless against terror and pain but good drugs are not! Therefore, good drugs are a "thing" that shapes or changes meaning. It comes back to "things" again. The visible points to the invisible which points back to the visible. Heidegger wanted the arrival of new gods, a change, but this is just a Heraclitus view of the world of constant change -- no relief for man, Sysiphus pushing the rock up the hill only to have it fall back. Christianity has an end -- a great improvement over existential absurdity. Christianity puts an end to worldly structure and possibility -- the meaning of the shining Christ. Interpretation to your dream: four hurricanes are exterior worldly space of north, west, south. east and if you draw a straight line from each to the middle you get the shape of a cross. In the middle of the cross is you watching, the mind and the physical power. It is a close up but not touching moment. The snitch can be interpreted as Christ in front of Pilot or Dostoevsky's Christ coming back to the grand inquisitor. Nothing in the past or in the future (Star Trek) can contain it -- time and space are useless. Because of its roundish shape it might be the Ouroboros snake eating it's tail. So it defies time and space and reason. It is telling you that like Christ telling Pilot that his is God. But it doesn't hang around for kisses of temptation like the Inquisitor story -- no it's out of there. So what runs parallel in movement from the exterior to the interior? Man's science moving from the Newtonian to the Quantum. Man's psychology exploring the interior of his mind. Maybe the two will meet there at the cross.

Dr.Peterson - helpful in my work on Foucault and Binswanger. Thanks!

Anyone know why he didn't go into the umwelt, mitwelt, and eigenwelt in the 2017 lecture?

I figured out why the pitcher or the vase is a bird :O Think about the what the painting meant.. First the idea is what's infront of you is your world.. right ? So you might be blinded.. Then the solution Is.. What the artist wrote(drew) was Horse.. with the caption of Door Time.. with the caption of Wind Vase(pitcher.. with the caption of bird) The case(I don't understand the word).. with the idea of culture.. So picture this as the story that the image was trying to portray.. There is this guy.. with instructions to culture.. It starts out with a what jordan says.. With a Door it can take you places.. But.. You have to be quick like the wind.. "Because you have to store enough just like the birds before winter"(like a case that stores water or a pitcher that can pour whenever needed) Then Culture will be brought on or shine forth and maybe even show cased when the case opens or when you open it.. It's another Archatipal story.. My God.. his lectures really kinda started my journey onto discovering this hidden dance of Romeo And Juilette among our everyday lives right infront us.. A hidden universe :*) Now I'm abit deep inside your ant hill universe trying to dig my way in and out and unto bigger ant hills(my own life😂).. Really thanks ya.. Something is guiding us.. I just hope that is something at the end.. and not a lose cause.. I really do hope it's true.. 😊

I predict that in the 10 previous comments there is " how lucky these students are to have Jordan as their professor " or " you made it if you receive clapping at the end of you lecture "

46: 00 or so … hmmm I’d say it could have been a predictive download … Tic tac perhaps 🤔

Why are the poles switched in the layer of nature

How do you spell the word at 15:37?

Does he have a study guide associated with this?

Awesome

thank you professor, you are the savior of our times 🙏🦞

Stones

where can we find these presentantions?

Moral relativists are extremely annoying. I think the existential claim that Peterson makes - that if your presuppositions lead to genocidal ends - makes whatever assumptions you make of reality “wrong” is very reasonable. However, talking with my fellow college students they can seem to get stuck out of the loop of “that’s your definition of wrong” and “it only matters to me that the explanation is rationally coherent.” Can human beings ever agree that some presuppositions of reality should be dispensed with?

33:25 “what the hell is going on?”

This man is hilarious. I like to make one of this lectures eatch morning before chores.

46:35 approx. Please put your hands together for Stephen Hawking, also known as The Physicist in the Wheelchair! 🤣 That has got to be the least flattering introduction of the great physicist I’ve ever heard. I know he meant no disrespect by it and I guess students in the humanities/social scientist know just about that much of who he was… the physicist in the wheelchair. Just another competitor at the Paralympics. 😆

👍🏻🥰
