I found him around that time too, 2015 or 2016, when he started appearing on Joe Rogan's podcast. Joe had interesting psychologists on often, but that first exposure to JP just blew me away. Then I discovered he had all these lectures of myth and Soviet ideology, two things I'm fascinated by. And then had written a book to help people with depression take back control, which I was struggling with at the time. I owe so much emotional and intellectual growth to Dr Peterson now.

Writing is a conversation--with myself, sure, but with someone of whom I have a model in my head.

Kinda helps with the whole memory recall thing. I can remember in my middle school years having a friend from PR named Freedom. Wasn’t his real name and he barely spoke a lick of English. We nicknamed him Frito as a result because of how he annunciated his name in his broken English dialect and accent. However, his favorite snack was chocolate peanuts. For some reason I had a sense of awe and surrealism how he was so enthralled with the excess and accessibility to his favorite treat. Which, made me aware for a moment that he probably didn’t have it as good as I did before we met.

That was something like 30 years ago, and I still think about it. Especially the chapter called "The Grand Inquisitor." So much yearning to know truth, so much confusion, complications, false ideas mixed up with true ones.

I've been a long-time follower of Dr. Peterson, but what really struck me about this video is Dr. Peterson's advocacy for the humanities. I am a student of History, and I have felt over the past several years this sense that my study, along with the rest of the sister disciplines in the humanities, have been denigrated constantly, accused of being an area of knowledge that no longer provides any sort of economic or moral value. The prevailing rhetoric now is that young people either have to get a STEM degree, or go into Trade School; there is nothing else in between that is a worthwhile effort. It seems as if there has been a moral darkening over the population, a growing fixation with what is practical and not with what is good. Yet we've seen with the handling of the pandemic that there is a need for a humanitarian education, because we are increasingly faced with the crises of unethical science and governmental policies. I hope that soon, Dr. Peterson will not have to dissuade people from studying the humanities, and that our western civilization once again rediscovers the importance of the humanities. After all, the study of the humanities was one of the only things that pulled Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance and Age of Reason.

Well, my writing was not concise, it didn't get to the point, it had unnecessary words. It was a linguistics course, not a writing course, but Wick Miller taught me how to write. And it was the best thing I learned out of all my classes.

I can see, old as I am, how he would have been and I hope still is, a truly inspirational lecturer. The one you REALLY wanted to be in the class of. A true, great, teacher. THESE are the people we NEED in education, at every level. I studied a crap degree - as in it was great if you wanted to be a chartered accountant. But I did something called The International Management Programme...so I had an AMAZING professor lecturing on the papers in my 4th year, to do with international management. And that experience, was the first time I ever had my mind and horizons in an intellectual sense, truly broadened.

About halfway through a man mentions a smoking addiction and how he realised he used it as an excuse to not do certain things. That was definitely a big part of it for me. It's sad but especially after I had my child and was done breastfeeding I started again because I was around it and that made it easier to pick it back up..but many family members were only willing to watch my child when I was smoking. So I kept smoking because "why not" (and I was depressed and stressed). Until I started to realise I didn't want a smokers cough and I didn't want to spend the money...then I realized I could just say I'm smoking but choose to breathe and take a moment instead. One family member did thankfully understand and was kind to knowingly watch my child for a bit while I just had a break (without smoking). Back to being honest..I discovered who I wanted around me and my child anyway vs who I didn't. The people that were refusing to watch my kid if I wasn't smoking...all of them ended up being people that I now cut out of my life for many reasons. Just being honest about that one thing was a big hint.

"Part of being a good person is to alleviate suffering." (16:52) That explains so much. It explains the polarization we see today; when we reach a conclusion about how to reduce suffering, we tend to think that others who don't see it that way are working against us. It explains the temptation we all have to dehumanize those who disagree with our own perspective on what causes suffering and how to reduce it. It explains why Dr. Peterson has often expressed frustration at people teaching a false morality; chasing after that phantom good only increases suffering, rather than decreasing it, while simultaneously helping its proponents *feel* virtuous and moral. To know how to truly reduce suffering long term, you need to know the foundational truths of existence.
