Imagine watching Sponge Bob with Jordan Peterson.

Even the best professors can't get the projector to work.

Listening to jordan peterson is like a boxing match, but you're tied up and he just keeps on punching you in the face with facts and truth. I'm so jealous of the students who have the privilege of attending his lectures

It's interesting how Jordan Peterson recommends that we reject our ideologies and shake up our mental framework of how the world works and yet a lot of the people who post parts of his lectures on KZfaq often use him to justify their own worldview. Not once in this video does he mention "alpha males" nor does he make a parallel between being at the top of a particular dominance hierarchy and being an alpha male. While intuitively they seem like the same thing, human social hierarchies don't have alpha males. I guess what I'm saying is that Essential Truth is using Peterson to project and justify their worldview despite the fact that the good doctor isn't really making a case for that. Or its a clickbait for Red Pillers or something, it's hard to tell.

Dude if he starts a channel doing movie reviews I’m paying money for it

"Confusing privilege with competence" pretty well sums up your average highly educated millennial arguing their feelings against objective reality.

HOW DARE HE INSULT THE SNAIL KING

this guy is a fountain of knowledge

I feel Jung again.

You can only truly be alpha if you are already successful at your dreams. That’s why I call myself a masculine man for right now because I’m not at my dreams and goals yet, but I’m on my grind.

This is the most in-depth movie review of The Lion King, EVER!

Before Peterson, the whole alpha beta obsession and redpill crap I had my own alpha/ beta personality model. I started observing group dynamics in social, academic and sport settings. circa 2007-2012. This model revolves around accepted leadership. The variants are based on aggression, conscientiousness, competitiveness and competence. In my model you have alpha plus and alpha minus, beta plus and beta minus and so on(delta,gamma). My observation was that a beta plus could in situations dominate and lead an alpha minus. My definition of alphas are superior in physical ability and intelligence and must be aggressive/competitive. Your type A personality combined with all the advantages. Higher performers. Very instinctive or primal. No verbal filters and very reactive as well as proactive. Apex people. An alpha minus lacks one or a few of the above with respect to the group objective. Usually intelligence or competence. Roles can switch depending on group objective( alpha to beta) But minus or plus is always permanent. So if the objective switches and you are not the alpha in that particular activity you are now beta but your plus or minus ranking remains. ( alpha minus cannot become a beta plus they will be beta minus) that is based on aggression and competitiveness. My theory was that a beta plus may lack some physical advantages but they are highly aggressive and competitive. Yet they cannot match an alpha plus and do not wish to because they want the best to lead. However in the presence of an alpha minus they will not submit or tolerate incompetence because the alpha minus is unqualified to lead. The beta will take the lead then delegate the alpha minus to a task that puts their ability to the best use. As long as the beta continues to perform and yield results the group willfully accepts this. I noticed this in school social circles, my sports teams and later in university group projects. Sometimes the smartest person in the room was not the best leader. In sports the most athletic did not always command the respect of the team. This rings truer to me than a man being considered an alpha just because of his size and aggression. He could be a total buffoon. Now deltas will never challenge any alpha. Nor gammas to betas. The ability difference is too great. Nor would they think to. I could go on and on with real life observations and example but I hope you get the point. People want to be lead by the person with the greatest chance of success and that is not always the person with the greatest raw ability.

As a clinical psychologist in training I can speak to the process of integrating the shadow, to some extent, in myself and have too been lucky enough to bare witness to the process in some people I have worked with. It’s magnificent.

Good old musafa, he was always my favorite character

JP explaining that we don't feel comfortable with a space until we've explored it suddenly makes me understand why people give guests tours of their homes. That has always been weird to me.

I love this man so much. How I wish he had been my teacher. Luckily we get to enjoy his lectures on KZfaq. Thanks for uploading these.

Wow, I love it how you go into the symbolism of the Lion king, especially the part with Simba and Nala...it reminds me of some stuff in my life.

If I was in this class, I'd be like "woah, slow down Dr. Peterson, can you go over that again?"

This is one of the most brilliant lectures by him, a real eye opener. I wish I knew all this earlier

You need a balance, you need alphas and betas for a society to function. They have their uses.

It's not about being "alpha". "Alpha" is about power, aka oozing testosterone, and it's a primitive expression of masculinity in males. JBP talks about a higher order of dominance: dominance through competence and responsibility, authority through knowledge and character. (Latest update: Jordan Peterson did stop saying "dominance hierarchies". It's not the same thing as "competence hierarchies" because "dominance" hierarchies are about being authoritarian.)

9:07 "They keep wrestling" Simba is the adventurer and wrestles with the anima. He tries to beat her, he tries to make up for his inadequacy and tries to get even, in the face of her superiority to him. Thats akin to being rejected as a guy and finding this intrinsic motivation to get stronger and improve, there is hardly anything else that motivates a man more than that. "and then there are on the fringe of the kingdom" And in the process of contending with the anima outside of the "walled garden", the holy land that gave him security and safety, the hero encounters death, gore and insanity (the hyenas making cruel jokes about killing them, coming out of the eyes of an elephant corpse and then that one insane hyena...). Those are my thoughts on this scene. The lion king is deep, there is a lot Im missing out and a lot i cant bring into words. It has almost religious depth

This man know how to gesticulate.

"Privilege" Triggered

Great point about hardening of the face. I found that I did that and it works. People really do react differently! Judging the world is something we are told not to do but it’s the natural way to do things! Don’t beguile your wisdom, it allows you to make judgement.

I am very glad on Peterson's videos to see so many in touch with their true nature. It brings gladness to the heart to see not all is lost. To see people have discussions on the Holy Spirit and transcendence without deniers is pretty damn incredible to see..

That's a professor with passion! The students are enthralled!

Listening to this the 2nd day in my new apartment 🤔 And he’s right. Currently placing things and cleaning everything. Interesting.

I feel like I keep looking for the right way to act, always trying to improve myself in some way I keep coming to Jordan for these reasons.

I love how he doesn't even know the character's names. "Sound. Dialogue. Music. Movement. Not important. I can break this shit down just by the pictures."

"person uhhh...lion." lmfao

I for sure would take off my hat in a class of Jordan Peterson

I wish Mr.Jordan Peterson was my teacher in university

lol "musofa"

His brilliance is humbling!

1:43 "if you're a low dominace person: you wander around like *this*" I don't fly, man.

Animal Fun Facts: -Hyenas are very proficient hunters. They frequently hunt more than they scavenge. -Lions frequently scavenge more than hyenas. -Spotted Hyenas live in matriarchal clans, as the females are larger and more aggressive than males. -Male lions evolved manes to protect their necks (mainly from fighting other male lions).

To be alpha or beta really doesn't matter, all u have to do differentiate between what u can and can't control and accept or disavow the things that happen around us

Jordan "and so" Peterson

Chad thundercock liked this video

I cant stop listening to this Peterson!

This is unbelievably true! I experienced it myself my life started at 50 from the moment I started to accept my so called aggressive side the society made me afraid for!

I hope my university lecturers are 10% as good as Peterson. Much respect!!

Thank you very much for the video

He passingly notes evidence that the behavior that we call schizophrenia results from conflict between the subconscious and conscious (11:50). This deserves great attention, as it implies that the most severe putative mental disease is not a disease at all.

Love all of his videos

The smooth eye movement he talks about is called "Smooth-Pursuit Eye Tracking," and has to be trained (for example by high end gamers or spear-fishers, etc). The choppy eye motion that we usually use is called "Saccadic Eye Movements," and is great for reaction to random stimuli, but bad for aiming on a target you a tracking.

what a wise man! Very logical examples too. His students are very lucky to have him as professor

Wow great point. Many students mistake PRIVILEGE with CONFIDENCE.

paradox is the tension that drives the universe.

Love this guys work!

Wow they have an old school projector on the left side of the room. Cool that they still use it. Once those lights turned off to use the projector in class was my time to nap or good off. Lol memories.

I understand everything and nothing at the same time when I listen to JBP. I understand what he says but I don't know how to apply the stuff he says on my own life.

In defence of hyenas: when i finally saw one up close, it was playing a game with 2 jackals, and it was fun to watch and appeared fun for all involved. Dog-like pleasure. They do also hunt, and let's not forget lions also scavenge. Ugly, sure, but a tough, sociable, gutsy animal.

You can move your eyes smoothly from left to right if you try really hard not to momentarily focus.

So fun, so educating!

I certainly never got any credit for reporting the "difficult thing to see" to my superiors when I used to work...

Lol, I want to see a disney movie at 1 hour 30 minutes long, with a Snail King, who shows lessons on life through his slow, meandering experience (snails and slugs experience time much more slowly than humans), teaching a younger snail and demonstrating his dominance over mammals as he lives a life of peace, eating plants which offer no defense at all to his consumption, and these plants live off the remains of the foolish mammals... Then in the last 2 minutes have a bird come down and snatch up both snails and gulp them down. Yum!

I have seen it a couple of time in these videos, that the title not at all matches the content "Alpha males&beta males"?? What? I think this says a lot more about the uploader than about the really sophisticated speech of Jordan Peterson.

blew my mind with that eye scanning demonstration

"Snail king" had me dead.

Wicked talk and I love the laugh of Hyenas, it's wicked. I didn't know about voluntary and involuntary eye movement thing, that's cool.

The prime definition of a rambling man. Why is is so hard for him to stick to the point and prove the point.

This is extremely valuable advice

"Snail King" LOL. Could make for a very interesting parody.

This guy is so wise I’d kill to be sitting in that room

Once, there was a snail king who was high in serotonin. Nothing happened for a long time. True story. Available at all good bookshops.

Thank You

03:06 Musafa hhh he almost said Mustafa lol 🤣

I learned 386 new things in this presentation. Man he can deliver a punch

i never thought of lion king showing the adam and eve like story with simba and nola till this video

Personality is the keys guys

Simba actually asks Musofa first. He says something like “what about that place there?” Which is dark THEN the king tells him he must never go there.

So the archetype of simba is Justin treadou unearned privilege but does that mean he will figure it out and set his kingdom right or does it require a rejection and “prodigal son” archetype? And if so how much suffering is going to be a consequence?

Women JP is being a little less draconian than normal & is speaking some very valuable truth. Bravo

Jordan Peterson is phenomenal.

This guy is awesome. I want to read his books next.

"What about the hyenas?" "Nah, (BLEEP) those guys."

Sorry for anyone who's here because of the title. Still a good talk. Definitely worth a listen.

The ad at the beginning almost frightened the 💩 out of me 😜 😳

I love the word, 'Beta', because whenever it is used, it's always used to describe how someone else is beta and never the person saying it. 'Me?! Beta?!?! Haha that's funny! It is you who is the beta!'

Dang!!! The video was cut off, right when I was getting some good info........

i love JP! for some reason i couldn't stop laughing at 3:55 he says "moofasa"

He should watch Erased !!!!!! I would love hearing him talking about it

Imagine Jordan Peterson doing a lecture series analyzing Attack on Titan

I’d take this class in a heartbeat 😂

Jordan has the unique ability to apply psychological theory to reality!

I have so many questions about life for this man

"everything is coming in and nothing is coming Out" - me in a nutshell

This man talk a lot and say a little... Incredible

Amazing story on Simba 🙏

I was definitely mopey in school but made it through grad school and now looking to move to the next stage. Wish it was a little easier to find a good partner.

I like that he doesnt have a Mac And that his laptop has an RGB keyboard ^^

Honestly I don't know if Disney had all this things in mind when they made this movie but the interpretation is awesome!

These people in the top have alll the resources. I REPEAT ALL THE RESOURCES in that area below him to use in the hunt for what is beyond limit. Thats is why they can succeed more often.

I wish more professors would open up their classrooms to the world.

Is it just me or is his voice soothing?🤔

I like Jordan's ideas. The only thing that stops me to put whole trust in this, is that he explains them with a fiction story instead with real ones.

Ravens and crows are most certainly not creepy in any way, shape or form. They are extraordinarily fascinating!

So many people misunderstand Hyenas and because of movies like The Lion King they tend to be used as poor examples. The Spotted hyena is an incredibly intelligent and fascinating pack animals plus they're really cute (not Lion King's hideous animated caricature). I recommend anyone to check out Kevin Richardsons page "The Lion Whisperer" who shows how amazing these animals really are.
