I've never heard someone speak with such intent. Every sentence has a clear, concise point

And your limbic system says "Nahhhhh, for sure... Dragon" LMAO

Its like JP put out 100's of lectures so insightful and useful that make 98% of Ted talks totally irrelevant.

"Nah...For sure - Dragon." LOL

I do my stuff at the bare minimum I have to do since grade school... Now with 4 years at university at my third study path I have to admit, I have literally no idea how to learn and work concentrated.

I wished I learned this when I was 12.

This man is brilliant. I love having the privelidge of being an armchair student in his lectures!

Bite-sized Philosophy, you are definitely one of my favourite channels!

best advice ever 'Jumping off a bridge is not a useful problem solving tactic'

If I was in these lectures I wouldn't stop exclaiming my epiphanies. Idk why these people are so calm.

I'm 22. I dropped out of university last year and it was by far the best decision I've ever made. The crushing thing is that it's also the best decision I will ever have made, like I could predict the future. I'm now an employed programmer and make twice the money I would had I finished my studies and got a job in the field. All without any piece of paper or waste of time... well, just 2 years though

Very good analysis of how you get stuck in these patterns and how to get unstuck.

Its an honor to have someone as precise and accurate sharing valuable lessons online

the way this guy paints his picture is amazing. he speaks both intelligently and basically. he uses phrases such as ‘well, what do you know, like, you’re stupid!’ - amazing

Jordan Peterson looks at angles that I could never think of in certain situations. He really makes me think. That's why I love em so much.

I think most men see a father figure in jordan that teaches them about life, values guiding you in life .. :) idk

2:00 Own yourself. Live your life. You made a mistake, try as much as you can to notice it within you and make it so you wouldn't make it. Don't beat yourself up when you have an error 7:40 Notice a thing about a person to grow together. 9:00 Very important to understand

What a nice stab of video i'm dealing with stress from school it's my last year and i've been anxious from failing

I'm really curious to see what assignments he gives his classes, or what the reading lists are like. He's COMPLETELY unlike any lecturer I knew, more like a priest or a self-help specialist. Not that he's not a good teacher- he definitley is, because I learn from him without being there, but if I had a written exam for one of his lectures, what the hell would it look like? What kind of mark would I get? Anyone a student of his care to talk about it?

I definitely need someone in real life like Jordan Peterson. Master to follow and discuss.

Amazing lesson!

Takeaway from all the examples, from my perspective: 1)Your first response is often putting the blame elsewhere to preserve your current frame of mind where you're still competent 2)Once a new frame of mind is accepted where you need to figure out what mistakes you made... 3)...Assume the mistake was not indicative that you are a bad person inherently because you can't throw away the future possibility of improving in a major way. 4)The overactive super ego will always be there happy to hyperfocus on your mistakes until you're self-hating and cringing; remember there are other more helpful voices to whom you can listen, they will lead you to identify a realistic path forward -- take that path instead. You're not useless even if you've made mistakes, atone for them and remember them, just don't give up hope for tomorrow. Tomorrow you might be wiser if you accept the responsibility that comes with wisdom.

Yeah confronting the dragon that is uncertainty and chaos represented by something that has gone wrong in your life can be quite a bit more difficult than one would assume. It is as though your entire conception of the world has been challenged and you must find a way to correct it or else you will not survive. That is a scary thing. It's incredibly easy to avoid it as well (edit: BUT IT WILL CATCH UP TO YOU!!!).

For me it wasn't a C-; it was an F. I was told by the head of the Dept of my college that I had a bad attitude. One of the very few things that I'm good at is managing my attitude. So I sought help from other Professors. I asked for their advice and to see if there was something that I did which could've been improved upon or that indicated I had a bad attitude. Every single one of them said that they were sorry. I shouldn't have received that F, and I most certainly didn't have a bad attitude, but they couldn't do anything. He was the head of the Dept. It *was* a personal attack. I'm so glad to be out of there.

3:51-4:10 Well that escalated quickly...

Effort and merit are the most important things you need to change your lot in life. You can't magically get smarter overnight, but you can memorize random bullshit in a textbook for hours on end if you really put your mind to it.

Love this. Fascinating.

Failure isn't even failure....unless you _quit._ If you never quit, then each time you fail, it's really just _practice._

You're a light, JBP. Thanks a lot.

i remember in my (first)freshman year of highschool the exact point where i truly gave up. i never was very good at math, nor did i ever pay much attention. i was already doing worse then before at this point, but randomly thought "ok, ill actually do this paper. ill try". well, of course, i knew nothing(and still know the same amount to this day) and so i failed the paper. i got something between a 30 and 70. i remember getting that paper back, that i "tried" on, and seeing that i failed. and i was legitimately sad, i was hurt. i dont remember if i cried or not, but i know i cared. for some reason, i cared. but from that point on to the remainder of my 4 years in highschool, i never cared about an assignment in that way again. after seeing that failure, i made the decision, or defaulted to not caring. to giving up. well, one poor grade never hurt me again. but the collection of 10s or belows on my report cards did. having to look back and see school as another on of my failures hurts me. i can't do anything without making a mistake, and i cant make a mistake without hating myself and dying inside. i can't accomplish anything, i can't improve at anything, because all i have is a history of failures to look back on, no successes. i think "i'll never be good at anything" or "i just can't". i lose all motivation, and for someone as undisciplined as me, that's all i have to keep me going. this is the jumping off the bridge, or maybe the thing before it. all i had to do was ask the teacher to help me. show up before and in between classes. i could have fixed things, but i didn't. and what a snowball it became

Thanks! I was looking for the graph.

Very insightful!

He has blind spots (he doesn’t claim not to) and I don’t agree with everything, but simple fact is he’s saying what no one in our culture has said in a long time, and it’s refreshing and what some people are in desperate need to hear.

1:13 Nawh... for sure, DRAGON!

clue in. loving it!!!

Fail because spending too much time watching dr. Peterson videos.

I got my first C in a lit class in Uni. I finally figured out that this particular prof only counted the pages (I tended to be more concise) and based the grade on that rather than content. So I wrote a long paper to get it up to the request amount for an A, I filled the middle pages with a diatribe that mostly criticized his theories, but also ranted on nonsensical ideas, and at one point basically called him an imbecile. I got my A!

Brilliant, just brilliant!

There are three people that I turn to on KZfaq for advice on how to straighten out my life. - The Black Phillip Show with Patrice O'Neal (RIP) - Dr. Peterson - Al Swearengen

How is It possible that a video can be this good. So fucking good.

Any time I have a question about a thought or life, I just look up Jordan Peterson.

This man is brilliant.

Brilliant

"I bet you that 30-50 percent of the people in the room are working at 2% efficiency." Calm burn, Doctor.

My problem was getting the C retaking the exam geting an A and going home to the same dysfunction like it was supposed to change something. The reward is only as valuable as its ability to change your circumstances.

No background music, thank God!!

when you know you'll like the video just in the middle of it it's been a while since I watched a video with new or somehow new information because sometimes I feel it's the same things I keep watching all over again. Maybe I watch the same theme of videos and don't search for other stuff from JP

I had no idea a C- on a piece of paper could manifest itself as Tiamat. 🤣

"Naaah for SURE dragon" lol true

JP, I love you!

Last words @ 9:43 say it all in this case. *Polish up your work ethic* . That may be true when referring specifically to academic grades in schools. But a balanced *life* requires not only work, but also play and rest. Many are so competitive they don't recognize the need for recreation. Goals are necessary. And discipline is necessary to reach those goals. If the journey toward your goal is so difficult or so out of character for you . . . then it may be the wrong goal. Not everyone is cut out to be an intellectual, a teacher, or other kind of brain-genius. Some could be happy being a butcher, a baker, or a candlestick maker.

"Better the hypothetical dragon than the real dragon." So what you're saying is go play Skyrim?

I love this guy :')

2:22 Yes to all.

I've always thought that I was stupid. I quit school when I was 15, but actually, I was homeschooled (translation: did nothing) for a few years before officially throwing in the towel. I had crippling anxiety and stomach ulcers. I had a number of learning disabilities as well. All of this just did me in on the school front. I guess all that really did a number on my self esteem. At 19, with obviously major holes in my education, I went to a local community college for upgrading,. It was scary, but I did get a B in English 11. It would have been higher had I not missed 1/4 of the semester due to illness. I believe I got a B+ in law. Not bad. I really suffered in math, due to my dyscalculia and Math Anxiety. I'm afraid to go back and get my dogwood because of the math barrier. But I don't think that's a reason not to do it. It's a reason to find the supports to get through it. Or at least try.

Solution: Don't jump to conclusions. Problem: How do you not jump to conclusions?

Where is the rest of this lecture!? Dr. Peterson seemed just about to continue on how to deal with error messages from life.

To cut it short: you learn from feedback.

Bite-Sized Philosophy, could you do videos on other philosophical intellectuals?

This is how imagination spins reality. This is all fantastic talk.

Just realised life is a DnD game with Dr Peterson as the dungeon master

"Nah for sure..dragon" 🤣🤣🤣

"I can't have a bad grade" a character in Breakfast Club

error messages contain within them the implicit world now the upside of that is: well they within them the implicit world (the change of the tone gives meaning)

Hey guys, he talked about a labirynth on the Chartres cathedral in one of these videos, anyone knows which one? Ha said something about having to walk through all of the quadrants to get to the middle and how the dome of the cathedral represents the sky.

These students are lucky I wish that i can meet that guy

If you’re feeling pain from those errors listen to the reason for the pain. Entertain the idea that you’re stupid or worthless and watch your mind correct itself after realizing the absurdity of the proposition.

4:33 exactly what happend to me....

Which series of lectures was this from?

4:00 stop explaining my life lol

I laugehd incredibly loud when he said maybe you're just disagreeable and neurotic. fml it hurts hearing my problems so clearly, thanks

where can I find the continuation of this lecture?

08:05 I felt like this story was about a person who rack up about a “victory” they won over an ended relationship and JP is still angry about that lol

6:53 shouldn't it be Positive/Negative *Effect*>?

Most people don't learn until they make a mistake, some only learn after massive mistakes when they are on the edge, some never learn.

ok, bad test right. I got bad marks in testing situation, however, I did really well at work with experience that slowly got my confidence up. It does not reflect my capabilities at all.

I'm cold *hurr* *hurr*

I need those slides

Having an existential crisis in a nutshell.

*puts bad grade on lab scale* *burns it* “Well what did I get so upset about that for? It’s just paper” I like this conclusion, you could make a decent sketch out of it

True story

uh... I've been averaging C's and B's for two years so far... I thought that was okay.... damn.

That's how you respond to depression and anxiety, man.

3:44 it's manifested itself as a horde of wild MISSINGNo attacking the video.

I tried o show this to my ( never went to college but thinks I should make all A’s mother ) . She didn’t get it and I was so heartbroken ... 😔

W H A C K ! ! !

does ayone knows the name of the full video/lecture?

2:47 god hearing this hurts

God he's so clever. He's able to communicate nuanced truths about reality and the human experience that are just ineffable for most people though they may know it unconsciously. Incredible work.

I wonder why this got removed from Mondays of meaning

It's being humbled. You've been given some adversity now it's time to kick it up a notch. It should be used as motivation not something to sob over.

Me: why I got C ? JP : (a bunch of life biggest questions)

Mistakes and/or things dont go the way you think you expected........... signs of what reality is...... how intelligent am I ...... ;;;;; --- parents expectations and demands on child, that wants something else...... and how that plays out with passive aggression, covert aggression and self-sabotage (flunks in last year of college)..... ---- The Dragon of Chaos.....

I'm stupid compared to who I thought I was

I can't say that I have watched a lot of Dr.Peterson's videos but from what I have seen, I feel that these are sermons or some kind of motivational speeches. Stuff that sell and people like to listen to since that human beings enjoy hearing someone discussing these psychological problems so they won't feel that they are misunderstood and alone. I wonder what does his exams look like.

C- means you lower the curve if the highest grade is 100

"nah ... DRAGON" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

but Dr. P.... , I'm better at video games than making my bed (said in a whiny voice.)
