Now, what are your thoughts about the impending global takeover by penguins, and their inevitable enslavement of humanity, and felines...

Look up different charm and charisma techniques if you like that sort of thing. Jordan's basically framing it as a question not a statement, making the conversation about what Bill thinks not what Jordan thinks. Keeps the person far more involved and comfortable.

It’s actually a REALLY bad habit Dr Peterson has. When he says “and you can tell what you think of this” it’s him showing self consciousness about the fact that he knows he should ask a question or stop talking. He’s self aware enough to know he’s being a bad conversationist, but he doesn’t have the humility self control to actually stop. He does the exact same thing as a host, and there are entire episodes where he just steamrolls kind, interesting, guests who his audience, like myself, would love to hear!

Wire like neuronal structures that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters in the CNS/PNS possess no attribute of thinking/life and yet that has “randomly” led to life. Consciousness/thinking is an innate idea(“Fitra”) that is distinct from carbon skeleton and yet the materialist scientist believes that chemistry turned into biology via “god of randomness”/”Emergent property”/”law of nature”.

@@auturgicflosculator2183 This is the thing....I think we all agree on more than "they" want you to think!!

Sorry, but Bill was delusional when he said Jordan and he share a lot of opinions, Jordan is a straight down the line right winger, the only topics he and Maher have in common are Covid and wokeness. So Bill's lenient soft balls at him all interview were I think misplaced and a failure of Bill to stand up for the ALL of the values and issues he usually stands up for.

I love how when Peterson explains the dark triad personality traits to him, Bill responds "Wow that is some interesting shit." It's nice to see him get schooled once in a while on things he doesn't understand.

He literally interviews dozens of high profile people on Real Time. And he researches topics with his team. Seems it's you who is clueless.

He does really good until he gets drunk and reverts back to childhood.😂😂

Better for all of us as he doesn't just interview 'Yes Men' as political butt kissers Hannity and Maddow do.

Very well said. I applaud Bill for being open to that education and being challenged and the process is interesting to observe.

@@magnetiktraxi agree with you. It’s always amazing to me that people mistake having an opinion as being “uneducated”. Bill has been doing this for how long now? At some point a person just absorbs information imagine it after 20+ years. He didn’t know about Trailer Park Boys so I guess there’s that 😂. Bill knows what’s up!

Maher is also an old friend of Ann Coulter, and doesn't hide that either.

No Bill, Justin Trudeau is Jordan's biggest fan! 😁

@@Graacie1111 I'm not saying the story itself is an analogy. I mean Jordan Peterson used it in this context as one. Like, 'forget about the struggle of how factual this is, or isn't, and use it in this way'. That's where I'm coming from.

The reason why Jordan Peterson always breaks down everything into the tidy bits of understanding, is because he goes out of his way to portray himself in such behavior. We fail to understand that the only way you or I can understand how people function as a collective and individual, is analyzing our own conducts and behaviors in life and owning such episodes, so that we don’t get stuck in them. We all have behaved in one moment or another, or for a day or two, in any of the personality traits he described…unfortunately not everybody is willing to break their own ego and humble themselves to accept it, express it, and deal with it, like he says, for so many people it’s just easier to stay that way and that’s when they become definitely one of those archetypes.

@@Ch7oma I hear ya, I never, EVER would've thought I'd see Bill take someone's interpretation of a Biblical story seriously, but it's right in front of us here.

Very well said. No to impose your life onto others and listening to ask the right questions.

Spot on.

The positive use of the term "gentlemen" is lost in our current generation. A true gentleman was manly. yet well mannered and well read. Many men of my generation strove to embody those ideal. If you would like to witness, firsthand, the state of manners and civility in the U.S., Go to a Wal-Mart on a Saturday and cut ahead of someone in line. What we witnessed on this podcast is an excellent example of two gentlemen having a relaxing conversation on topics that demand an extensive knowledge base. This dialog is a good model for our young men to aspire toward. For many young men, it would be a brilliant choice.

You honestly think these two guys are that different? Why on Earth? Because of how they are advertised or something? Can you name three major differences in their opinions? I honestly don't know, I'm ignorant. To me they seem to be in the same camp, as Maher says himself.

He was a HEAVY user multiple bars daily. He had seizures, and he didn't recognize his parents. His mother would call me crying hysterically saying "I don't think he's ever coming back. He's completely gone." It was horrible. He got through it though, and he came out 3 or 4 months later looking like a full person again. But he couldn't stay away from it, and he's back on Xanax & methadone prescribed both. Even then he sometimes tries to use heroin, and has overdosed at least 9 or 10 times. I don't know how to help him. We started using drugs when we were like 15, and it's been his whole life. I never got on heroin, but I was addicted to oxy. I'm stuck on subs now which sucks, but it has allowed me to have a regular life where I don't even consider going back to oxy or dope at all.

If you don't know there is a forum called benzo buddies and some of the withdrawal reports are shocking. Benzos are clearly the most addictive drug and you can just fall into addiction without even realising it.

That’s true. I had come to believe what we saw here could no longer happen..The two men are my betters but I would love to carry water for both of them.

Bill while not unintelligent, ultimately demonstrated himself to be a hedonistic narcissist. He intellectually understands JP, but he is ultimately too cynical to feel what JP attempts to communicate to him throughout their conversation.

What exactly do they have opposing views on? I think there’s more that they agree on than not…

Yes, I loved it. Particularly the last 20 mins when they discussed sex, love, and long term relationships.

@@dsha2006 it was just such a "normal" conversation between friends! I wish the world would figure out that if people could approach and respect one another in this manner...like I might not have the same beliefs as you, but I can respect that...the world would be such a better place

These two could not be more on opposite sides!!! It got very heated but they respected each other. Very nicely done!

"I love when Bill gets along with a racist homophobe"

​@@ViagaraXVodkaI love when people make baseless accusations

​@@ViagaraXVodkaHonestly, you're embarrassing yourself.

@@mikepjersey listen you can live in whatever bubble you want to, the babbling brook of a man called Jordan Peterson constantly uses dog whistles and supports insane legislation, people aren't stupid bro lol

I agree. I found some of Bill's comments regarding God and the Bible offensive, and I know JP disagreed with Bill but he handled it very well. I would have ended up in an argument, lol.

@@solaveritas2 The bible is 100% bullshit and anyone that feels otherwise doesn't deserve a seat at a table with adults with FUNCTIONAL brains.

Absolutely right, he handled every one of those moments as a gentleman should.

that is old school adults. We just go, your opinions are your opinions and we understand that we may see the same thing from different viewpoints.

​@@canadafree2087pretty sure these adults still exist, there's just a lack of respect for each other that is being portrayed disproportionately on social media

@kurtmcvey7086 I’m wondering if Bill never married and had children because he could not imagine a way to pull off how he believes it should be done. (?). He certainly seems to have some good instincts about how children should be raised.

Nothing slips past JBP 🧐

I wish he got to the bottom of why Bill was wearing that shirt

@@FeatherfinderBill has no business commenting on parenting as well as anyone else that isn’t a Mom or Dad

@@Wafaloo He kept praising Peterson's suit to distract from that shirt. Bill was in Jeff Spicoli mode. I'm surprised he didn't have a pizza delivered during the conversation.

I think it makes a difference when he is not performing for an audience.

Classical liberalism is just a dream. Stems from Christianity.

Classical liberalism? Bill Maher? You stepped in it this time.

@@kevin-vp1zd Classical Liberalism is as feckless as libertarianism is immoral.

@@Tampahop or drunk?

Too bad most of what JP had to say flew clear over his head.

@@thestigg3930 yep, Trump was on his mind 80% of the time

@@rtaylor802on the bright side, even if all this is true, bill sitll thought critically at least 20% of the time, and that’s a hell of a lot of Peterson wisdom to glean, and a hell of a lot more than the average person puts into thinking. Most people think for themselves around 0-1% of the time.

@@thestigg3930 The fact they are having this conversation at all is a step in the right direction ;)

​@@thestigg3930 I strongly disagree. Bill had a different agenda. He claimed the podcast would have been the same if there were no mics and cameras, but that was just a showbiz fib. No. Bill had to keep the conversation consistent with his personality and product - he's a very humorous man who has to keep the comedic content up. Peterson is an intellectual who has little need for humorous interjections. That created a tussle - a battle of wits - at a level beneath the conversation. I love watching JP handle humour. Of course he gets all the wise cracks, but it's not what he's there for. But as a well socialised guest, he has to play ball. Bill's interview with Jordan, who is, let's face it, a fairly intense and dry academic, was a masterclass in putting your guest at ease whilst remaining true to your product. As an interviewer myself, please take it from me, there was a hell of a lot going on in Bill's head during these two hours. I thought both men were thoroughly entertaining throughout. Nice one Bill.

Exactly. It’s nice letting idiots walk off the plank themselves rather than pushing them.

bill is a textbook example of hypocrisy.

Bill is one of the few liberals I know who #1 is willing to have conversation with people he knows have at least some different views than him. #2 can actually be amicable and just agree to disagree when the conversation comes to an empass. If the rest of the country could do this we would not have the level of division we have today.

Have y’all noticed how low-information he is? His guests tell him so much info for the first time-he’s never heard about the kaka that happened to the Canadian truckers? I’m convinced leftists live in a fact vacuum.

@@robot9071 Many Democrats and Republicans say that and it is understood but I disagree with that assessment of Bill. By no means do I agree with much of his beliefs but at least he conveys a reasonable dialogue able to at least talk with many on both sides of the political aisle.
