Your videos honestly are having a large impact on how I conduct and analyze myself. Being very anti-social I dropped out of highschool and just got my GED right after instead of putting up with the socialization in a public school and have primarily focused on money and pursuing my hobby in computer programming. For about 4 years I have signed up for college and never gotten past the admission process due to my horrible habbit of running from my fears. Your videos have inspired me to push past those fears and I now am on my way to starting school in January to pursue a CS degree. I have more things to push past but because of you, I have at least made the leap. Now to just stick the landing. I really wish I had teachers like you when I was receiving a highschool education, perhaps things would have been different.

Hey Prof. Peterson, I'm really grateful for your videos. I think you're a truly great person. Have you ever read Hermann Hesse?

If so, as a fan, I'd love to hear you talk about a book like Steppenwolf or Narcissus and Goldmund. Hesse and Jung really helped me through a lot of hard times years ago, just as your lectures have recently and continue to do so. Thank you!

I have always felt that the female initiation is childbirth. At least, that's how I understood it as a child. There is no need to brave yourself to hang from hooks or spend the night alone in the woods if you know that it is likely that you will experience the pain of labour. It always seemed like an inevitable and impossible gateway to me, and it is only recently that it has become normal for a woman (in this culture) to be older or to forego the experience entirely. I say this, but when I consider the fairytales and so on, it is often the way that the young woman has to prove herself through arduous tasks, often as the servant of a witch or similar. Is the female initiation really sustained self sacrifice (the heroine feeds all the animals in the barn before herself and so on) and housework? Or would the initiation point be where she conquers the witch with her cleverness (or occasionally purity) and goes on to fullfil her duty and then be free to seek her own fortune? I think I will have to give this quite a lot of consideration! Thank you for making your lectures available! I am a housewife who would normally not have access to this level of education and I am very grateful!

@Creamy6oodness3 жыл бұрын
That's a great point but it strikes me as more abstract than what Peterson was alluding to. My impression is that he's implying a girls first period marks her initiation into womanhood. Nature makes it pretty obvious when a female is mature. As you said, only very recently have women had the privilege to put off having a child until later in life, or even put it off completely. A lot of the time, once a woman has her first period, she was married off ASAP, so childbirth probably followed the first period pretty quickly.
@albuslee4831 Жыл бұрын
The moment you learn to make the ultimate " Sacrifice ", it must be for the women. It might be how to confront your own fear, to the men, in order to " Protect ". Those must be the ultimate role of female and male given by the nature.

Not every theory he holds is correct. The first thing I remember when he was talking about snakes, and how our fear of them is definitely innate, is me holding a snake as a 5 year old, with no fear. I was in the forest and my uncle was fixing something and I saw a snake (which I didn't know if it was venomous) and I just calmly took it. It was not courage from my behalf, just lack of fear...
@onefugue6 жыл бұрын
Starting from 58:00 Peterson builds up to saying "it's not 'follow your bliss'" (58:38), a direct counter to that other modern champion of mythology and archetypes, Joseph Campbell. From Campbell I always got the impression that "follow your bliss" meant pursuing what inspires you, what you enjoy working hard at, what causes you to lose track of time, etc. Sounds wonderful, if a bit new agey and idealistic. And the truth is, we often don't do it. Why? Because there are many dragons out there that confine your life to a small territory. Dragons that will devour you if you get too close. How can one follow one's bliss with all these dragons getting in the way? Suddenly following one's bliss doesn't sound so nice and warm and blissful. We can sort of do it without facing our dragons, but rather weakly. How many artists are out there who never activate the bold daring visions lying dormant within for fear of criticism, spending a life circling it from a distance, "pursuing their bliss", but never fully realizing it? So in a way, the treasure the dragon guards *is* the bliss, or the exponential growth of it. Campbell just didn't focus on the terrifying requirement of his statement. Peterson says something like, "no this is going to scare the crap out of you, it *has* to in order to wake you up to your full potential. But it's more than worth it, in fact it's necessary if you want to truly live".

You could easily make a change of profession and become a coach for writers. I get many archetypical ideas from these lectures that would fit right into a novel. Nature is that which gives us life, but at the same time destroys us. So why should not we do the same to it? That´s the perfect antagonist villain, it´s a noble cause to end suffering, but completed in a twisted way. A Inversion of the Buddha dharma. Even God became possessed by this archetype - he flooded the world to end all the evil and suffering. And it´s quite possible that humans are doing it right now, with technology ment to make our lifes easier (causing climate change). It might seem that this archetype is not only rooted in us humans, but in nature itself. And we humans are the tragic greek hero, who means to do good but has an inherent fault causing or destined fall. It would be ironic if the world ended like a greek drama, cause ancient greece is the pillar of the modern world. It would mean that the artiststs and creative people of that civilization (in a way) prophesied it´s fall right from the beginning. That would certainly make Plato discouraged, as he saw drama, and poetics in general as a treat to the state.

+Jordan B Peterson I am finding your lectures both profound and wise from a broad knowledge set. I am both a quantum biologist and a video game designer, so you resonnate 100% with me. I want let you in on a very little known secret about dopamine production in our frontal lobes. We get higher dopamine every morning from UVA light no matter where you are in the world. That is assuming we are not using glass, contacts or eye-glasses to block it. In other words, those that use the morning sun by looking toward the sky for 5-10mins produce more dopamine for mood and other health influences. Additionally, the UVA interacts with DHA in the RPE (the mirror component in the eye) to produce ocular melatonin that gets transferred later in the day for the coveted pineal gland melatonin. Melatonin is not only a gate for sleep, but is profound for health. The fluorescent lighting your under (blue-light) shuts down melatonin and creates cortisol (stress). So be wary using fluorescent lighting or any normal screen/tv after dusk in particular can damage the melatonin compound.

I have a question. Are spiders an innate fear? I had a nightmare when I was 2-4 years old about two spiders fighting in a white room. I overcame that fear, rationally, but if ever I see a spider, something deep down instantly triggers a complete activation and shoving of my blood into my muscular system. It lasts 1/10th of a second, and probably activates within 20ms-45ms of seeing the spider (i.e. before I can even tell what I'm seeing consciously). Then my regular self takes over and doesn't care. Is this innate or a non-structural (non-primal) construct?
