Wow! Profound squared!

I have many friends who I've discovered recently are quite ignorant, but even worse, refuse to listen or see evidence which may disprove their militant stance on said topics. It's so frustrating not being able to explain to friends why they are misinformed or wrong on subjects that matter. People who don't communicate are either fearful of what they perceive as failure, too proud to accept they may be wrong, or just brainwashed to a point of Narcassism. I dont want friends like this but feel a strong obligation to keep trying to help them see the light but then I am faced with the prospect of being labeled a pest. I hate knowing that people are misinformed and even fearful unnecessarily and making irrational choices simply coz I am failing to create a 2 way conversation I always insist they show me why they have their views but they insist they don't want to talk about it. There is the dilemma. Do we just give up on these types of people? I tend to think it's dangerous to do that.

I do as well! The problem with the internet era is that we have so much speech from listening. If a person types into the void on twitter, you can't hear anyone listen back, even if people are. So people get louder and more extreme in their expressions to the point that they hyperbolize their speech into nonsense -- and then it is roundly mocked as if it is not worth listening to at all. So we have thousands of people walking around aggrieved because they perceive that nobody is listening to them. The solution? Free speech in living rooms and audiochats.

An excellent and well expressed insight!

Oh man this full circled me

Jordon himself regularly flirts with teary eyes. That’s what makes him relatable to his audience. You can hear the quiver in his voice during this clip.

I met Dr. Peterson a few weeks ago at a lecture in Iowa on the topic of abandoning ideology. He is a genuine person who deeply cares about the people he speaks to and genuinely believes what he teaches. Personally, he has impressed deeply upon my heart to be a better, more genuine person by his example.

Exactly! I was just thinking (and not for the first time) how simultaneously thrilling yet terrifying it would be to attend one of his talks in person because he would invariably say something that would hit home and make me cry, (a pretty easy thing to do, as I'm a highly sensitive person with some mental and emotional issues to untangle from childhood) or he, himself, would get choked up and I (being also highly empathic) would cry. I would be a mess! So embarrassing!

@@mrs.antihero I feel you on that one. This clip brought me to tears. I'd be a mess if I was there. The gravity of what he's addressing is so very important. Seeing freedom of speech slip away from our grasp has been very hard for me lately.

@@christopherhitchens163 why though?

You can apply that to his perseverence in suffering through the withdraws of the benzos that were alleviating his autoimmune-caused pain. And that feeling of hope and redemption does feel more real than the pain you rose above, the pain starts to feel like a dream while the redemption is the more real experience.

Can you express your opinion of the techniques used in the cult you managed to get out of with the events taking place today by our institutions? Or should I be more specific with my question? Thank you.

Was the cult Mormonism? Guess it doesn’t really matter what cult it is

Maybe I should be more specific. I don't know the type of cult you came from. Though the most recognized cult leader of them all was the koolaid man. Jim Jones used to preach out of his garage in Palo Alto CA. Feinstein, Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Jane Fonda, Harvey Milk and Jim Jones all hang in Palo Alto where Jim Jones lived. "I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto" - Hillary Clinton He was the founder of many of the lefts beliefs today. his video's are on youtube. He pushed for Equality, Social Justice, radical atheism and of course communism. His ideas of social justice he taught that we should view everything including objects as a color based on skin. Equality was taught to be equal those that oppressed you need to compensate you for the actions of their great grandparents. The wording he used was masterful and deceiving. Today I understand his line while drinking the koolaid and using the injections. he said, "This medicine will not work unless everyone takes it" Does this sound familiar?

@@broman1536 Its called "The Way International," founded by Victor Paul Wierwille, and it claims to be a "biblical research ministry". They believe that the Bible contains a perfect, whole, indisputable truth that interprets itself, and that it existed in perfect form in the original texts. In reality, this means that they think they hold an absolute, indisputable truth, and that the special privilege of knowing this means they are superior to everyone else, which leads to hem believing that they can justify all kinds of abusive behavior due to their inflated sense of importance. TL;DR: they think ends justify the means because they are chosen to spread the true "Word of God" and they justify their evil acts with this delusion. There are also multiple splinter groups as "Dr Wierwille" died in 1985, and almost immediately afterwards the cult fractured due to power grabs in the ensuing vacuum.

He's an empath. He KNOWS others' suffering, he feels it. Sympathy is understanding and compassion for another. Empathy is feeling with another what they are feeling.

Beautiful comment and feedback. Totally agree..... what a beautiful mind and an inspiration.... and so authentic and humble too.

Appears is kind of like saying "I feel like". I never even thought about that until now, maybe I've seen it used in propaganda, "It appears the president lied"... How often do we talk to people and they say "I feel bla bla bla"? I have friends who do it more than others, it's something I don't do anymore, well I damn sure try and teach my children not to also. Anyhow sometimes I feel like a robot as I age, the emotion I struggle with would be anxiety born usually, that crap we CAN'T turn off no matter how hard we try the irony being I saw our bodies as pretty much 'machines', they need fuel and have exhaust systems LOL... HAHAHAHA I'm gonna smoke a bowl. No Segway just keeping it real, I respect Peterson more than I respect most people I've met in real life.... like you said, he's honest to the point that many people struggle with, denial proving itself. JP should be taught in K-3, not teachers worried about teaching little children to be always thinking about sex...... weird weird weird ambition to have... As a black father of 2 I'm SICK of the Democrat party, they push more division on us than anything.

Yeah but the Issue with psychopathy is you have to be a pretty good actor in front of them, that’s the point, you need to come across genuine in your “understanding” and make them feel like you are truly understanding them, even though you may not understand or want to lose the argument, this gives you a starting point to do either.

This is so true. That’s why therapy can work so well. I’m glad to hear you respond this way.❤️

I agree that having something that unifies people may be an overaching idea, yet whose idea will be the unifying one? Telling people what to believe may lead to more adversity. Yet, listening to another without wanting or needing to convince them of anything, including religious dogma and then simply showing a real intetest in the other person is a bridge of unification through being truly present with the other, in order for NEW ideas and solutions to arrive into the meeting between them, something that may not have existed before the meeting. A real meeting of hearts. Which takes some preparation. This way of meeting does not imply that anyone will be swayed to the other's opinion but that a Higher truth may become revealed through the meeting and the mutual desire to understand each other with openness of mind. No longer your idea against my idea but the result of the meeting of ideas, desires or hopes or ideals. This Higher ideal is not something that can be scripted, nor does it fall into categories like archetypes (if we have this that or the other archetype as a layer over the person we might miss seeing something about them that is not in that category) because it does not belong to the realm of preconceived ideas or concept about the perso , it belongs in the realm of possibility and surprise and hope, therefore a counsellor treads on a kind of holy ground, which is not religious but deeply spiritual, in the sense of the depth of valuing the meeting and what is happening in the present between the people meeting, clearing the lenses of preconceiveid categories, which might make the other feel confined to an archetypal character when in fact he or she may be sharing something deeply individual and intimate, the art of listening also includes the art of waiting for the Revelation about the other person's experience. Archetypes are helpful in understanding undercurrents of human behaviour . Yet, In some cases too many other archetypal layering may block the way to this kind of revelation, because the very skill of perceiving another through those lenses of for example archetypes can be a hindrance to seeing the person in the deepest sense of what they are able to reveal about themselves and to read the person as though all the information about that person is in the person themselves.

Pointless rant.

Outstanding reflection in my opinion

i think goes even deeper than that and that is freedom of conscience. Jordan sees freedom of speech suppressed by the media and next is the suppression of freedom of conscience by the Pope and government in their unity. Instead to preach the Divine redemption brought by Lord Jesus, they will want suppressed the freedom of conscience same as in the dark ages. UK was the country that gave the Bible to the world by marvellous work of William Tyndale that burned him on the stake because translating the Bible to common language.

Yeah AND giving his listeners techniques on how to speak and listen more effectively.

I like your assessment.

Unfortunately most people won't do that in return, I've experienced it enough.

and yet feminists dislike him. I didnt even know about him until about 6 years ago when he was coming to my country to give some talks. The media wrote some hoopla about how certain woke groups and feminists hated him. When I read that I thought to myself that this guy is probably awesome! ....and I was correct. He actually speaks common sense. Feminists don't like when people speak common sense as it highlights the nonsense that they spew forth on a daily basis.

To “steel man” the other’s argument, you have to genuinely listen, and seriously consider their point of view, and then prove that you have done so.

Post modern cultural Marxism: Post modern: "Of or relating to an intellectual stance often marked by eclecticism and irony and *tending to reject* the universal validity of such principles as *hierarchy, binary opposition, categorization,* and *stable identity."* Cultural: pertaining to the context of culture or cultural exchange/system Marxism: a political, social, & economic philosophy developed primarily by Karl Marx which, among other premises, ultimately assumes that *socialism* is inevitably the final stage of societal development, and therefore *superior to capitalism* on *merit that it is last.* I think that phrase (not a word) might not be made up & sounds completely relevant to what he commonly discusses.

Sounds to me that some of his critics perceive his opponents being castrated by descriptive phrases because they're too lazy to unpack them & so would like to think they were merely made up.

I didn't watch the GQ interview@@psychcowboy1, so I have no commentary on whether his point is contradictory or not (I have observed elsewhere that he does a lot of his logic reasoning verbally out loud as he is evaluating it, which absolutely could manifest contradicts & interruptions in competitive dialogue by virtue of how that thought process works, but alas I am missing context on his likely usage of this in your reference). Summarizing someone's argument isn't terribly hard, but summarizing it in a way that their main idea is effective & clear & without a spin or misinterpretation from one's own inherent biases is quite difficult & was the core of his point, which incidentally didn't seem to make it into your point. Because it's so hard to dissociate from our own preconceptions enough to objectively evaluate another's, a dynamic social structure with a wide diversity of contradicting values (i.e. significant difference in opinions) loses cohesion very quickly unless those preconceptions share common ground, the closer to one another the better. Or if the opinion with the most divergence/friction is held by an individual emotionally mature enough to let it go (or is otherwise oppressively censored enough to not disruptively manifest it), & validate the common ground shared by everyone else for social peace, this is the exception he alludes to a lot. It doesn't always have to come down to that, but it seems most people tend to skip the validation step, as I've done here.

This very notion you describe right here is why community faith is so important. If we can't trust the sum of morality from all of our ancestors before us, who despite our arrogance lived in very much the only way humans can - differing slightly, but telling the same stories over and over again - then we are lost. There is great wisdom in trusting and knowing that.

Man, not gonna lie, i have discovered this person last week and he is phenomenal. Surprisingly, when i played this video , he just described the base of my dealing to the other people. I thought there is no other way to discuss a problem. I know people will say that i lied, but i don't hassle to prove them wrong.

Or is it just another psychological parlour trick to increase your self image of superiority over your opponent?

@@manbirsinghsidhu567 well you're in for a real treat- there is so much that he has put out for the world to learn from. I've barely dipped into it.

@@grainofsand4176 Yeah man i am amazed to see the world through new lens

Listen. Respond.

Not just the mechanics but the critical importance of it and the link between it and human rights and civilization.

Also, maybe April fool's day had something to do with the title 😂😂

exactly the right sort of clickbait...

Welcome to KZfaq/internet. Luckily you can do just that without leaving your couch

When I studied psychology at degree level we had to be CRB checked, a UK criminal record check. It’s frightening that material that in a deranged or sociopathic mind could be used to mentally abuse is so widely available.

Watch all his University Lectures.

@@brynleytalbot778 that's an interesting view/point. Do you mean sociopaths? It's true. On the other hand, think of how many families you can help as well. I think there are alot more people out there using info for good. I guess this is really a fundamental discussion behind any tool- linguistic, intellectual, physical...- the question is do we deprive many of improving for the concern of how the few will misuse it? Tbh, I suspect, that a sociopathic psychopath that is out to damage and harm others is likely to find out somehow. This is not to say your concern is not valid- definitely something to think about. If nothing else, I think it told me something about me and helped me become aware of my view on alot of issues I'm uncertain about. 🙏🏼

@@grainofsand4176 With all due respect, but I completely disagree with you! He’s taking the same risk as someone selling hammers or chainsaws. These are tools and can be used either way, and this lectures are just tools that are available to the public and I guess in the US sociopaths/psychopaths even have access to guns EASILY, but it’s still debatable to put constraints as this is the second right amendment. And you’re questioning the legitimacy of someone using the FIRST right amendment!! I’m not American but I used this for the sake of the arguments. I think he’s doing way more good than harm by putting these things out there and he’s promoting the ways to understand yourself not necessarily others!

Agreed. I've noticed in real time a completely change of attitude within myself as I realised the other person was actually on my side :) And I felt it immediately necessary to show the same. As confrontation turns on a sixpence, to friendship, those moments are quite stunning.

I too am vulnerable to flattery....

Simple basic tenets of relational maturity

This works like a charm with my ex. He's so gullible. 😂

Can confirm this works fantastically. It’s very hard to attack somebody who’s being nice to you.

Shhhh.....the critics are trying to find ways to make his speeches illegal...too many of us are getting wise thanks to him

What illness?

There is only one method by which a sane person can hate him: utter ignorance.

@@ronsnow402 Before you digress, do you have a problem with free speech being a mandatory ethos for humanity?

@@boomaaee Basically. 😂 Minus the tendency of distortion.

@@boomaaee "So what your saying is ..." has a context. When it's used as a statement to bring in assumptions that haven't been said, it's toxic and bad faith. When it's used as an honest question and limits itself to the topic already under discussion, it may be good faith, although there are probably better ways of phrasing it. Possibly: "I've been trying to listen carefully, and it sounds to me like you're saying X. Is that accurate?" The initial version often sounds like people putting a rotten red herring in your mouth. The latter version makes it clearer, and is an essential part of communicating.

@@seancooper5140 Spot on. There's a running joke on that opener from one of Dr. Peterson's interviews.

Yes agree, but it's a lot deeper than sympathy...it's compassion because he also feels the pain and is trying to reduce it in others.

@@JamchesterBoozle agreeable

What he said ^ (minus the bit about Finland) : p

don't diss the trolls bruh

Agree.

Not really, because most people are stupid.

No. Sorry. You can't begin to compare him with Kant, of Nietzsche, or Spinoza. If you listen to Joe Rogans interview with him, you will hear him utter complete nonsense for about 90% of the podcast. Just rambling, really. His power however, is to simply have very basic common sense, and be vocal about it. This is how far we've sunk: most public figures don't have that anymore.

Hi, that is something that I did for a while too. However, I found that on occasion this mindset would lead me to fold on my own position prematurely before it was fully and properly debunked by the second party. So instead of aiming to be proven wrong, I try to follow JP’s rule about assuming whoever I am talking to knows something that I don’t. The reason this works better for me is that it allows me to defend my stance properly by assuming that whoever I am talking to is intelligent enough to have formulated good reasons for having a different opinion than me and that they are worth taking seriously. However, I don’t start a conversation on the back-foot by already thinking my opinion is something that needs to be debunked. The end goal is the same, refining arguments until the core truth of the matter is articulated, but the process is different. It’s only a slight difference in mindset but it made a big difference to me.

I HIGHLY recommend checking out a book called "Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know" - by Adam Grant. Speaks to this and changed the way I think about any debate or discussion.

Clever. Done right, you come out perceived of having humility where what you actually did was guided the other person into revealing the hidden meaning, context or driving force of their thought

@@GreyBlackWolf yep can confirm it works irl

i also do this ocasionaly, but personaly i relate far more to Jordan's comment about cynics. i lay out my sad arguments in dear hope that someone proves me wrong :/ alas on those situations it hasnt yet come to be

The problem would be that they probably don't understand half of his concepts and are not willing to learn them.

Then they won't have the power only a brutal dictatorship can offer. The silver lining is most of them would find themselves crushed under one instead of ruling over one.

That's _why_ they hate him! He breaks them mid-run from their painful truths.

I think most people hating on him have taken whatever he said out of context.

@@phasespace4700 First, we'd have to know where you got that information.

Start somewhere. (Maybe by making your bed 😉.) The outcome is worth the effort. - some rando on the net, cheering you on

we all have work to do on ourselves, i work a lot on myself and i've got impressive results but i am still lazy in some terms and have lot of work to do

@@hobbymaniac101 oh I always make my bed and keep my room tidy! Thank you for cheering me on.

@@pete531 I wish you the best with working on yourself!

@@pizzapie7 More power to you for reestablishing dominance over your goals and plans. Something Scott Adams wrote about is establishing procedures and mechanisms which bring you closer to your goals, and making those procedures your "goal". Possibly worth considering if you're having a hard time sticking to long term operations, since it makes short term progression into victories. "I will work out fifteen minutes Monday, Wednesday and Friday" being better than 'I will become strong and lose 15 pounds' because either, ideally, gets you to the objective state you've identified as desirable, but focusing on the mechanism instead of the end state gives you three wins a week instead of one distant one. Maybe worth trying?
