Proffessor Jordan Peterson is my magic parent.

I've been going to college for a couple years now, and not once has any instructor I've learned from received an applause at the end of their lecture.

chugging a coke while taking applause. Jordan, I think I love you

Brilliant. This series should be mandatory viewing on public television.

Second prof. Peterson binge night. Attention starting to fail. You really know how to keep it alive, though, professor.

So far I’m captivated by this information but I’m having a hard time focusing, particularly on this lecture. Every point he makes sends me into deep thought then I have to go back ten minutes because I was too busy going off on tangents in my head about the things said here. Truly thought provoking and profound.

1:05:44 IS THE BEST OF THE BEST " Your genes should definitely not survive another generation" What a line man

This man speaks extraordinary wisdom which I will have to go back to again and again to have any understanding of. Quite profound.

I'm impressed by this Professor. He's real.

Jordan Peterson is brilliant. I'm so happy I found his channel.

What this guy is doing is some sort of a work of art to me I cannot wrap my head around this amazing lecture series This is so much fun

Here Kali is symbolism of uncontrolled destruction potential of universe and the imagery points to the futility of humans in a scenario where if they built such destructive potentials ( depicted as Kali) they won't be able to control it (as Shiva himself has to come to stop Kali who ignores him and stomps over him) And the tongue of the Kali is the symbol of regret as Kali is a form of parvati, the consort of Shiva himself

I grew up without my dad being around, although I was fortunate enough to have strong male role models in my uncles and my grandfather. Now in my 40s, I have to say that JBP is the mentor I've been searching for my whole life. It's taken me a while to to fully trust him and get past the alt-right stigma, I have searched and searched and there literally is ZERO evidence that he holds extremist political views

Jordan you are a genius. Thank you for this vast information of knowledge. Can already sense my perception of my self and others is expanding thanks to you.

I was actually searching for videos on Eliade and came across this JBP video. This was the year before he became famous. He had no idea what was coming at this time...

Words cannot express the value this guy has provided to the world by sharing his knowledge publicly

Just love all your videos dr.P. So increadibly full of knowledge and wisdom. Wish I had your clarity and precision in verbalizing concepts. Long life to you.

41:49 That's exactly Helm's Deep from LOTR the Two Towers. And they win that battle finally by voluntarily "riding out".

And just how many lectures in school have YOU attended that ended with applause from the students? I have been backing up in the lectures, from the later ones. Now I want to start at the beginning of Dr Petersons' voyage of discovery and follow in his footsteps. They are deep ones, but they blaze an important trail. Frankly, I resent that I am older than him - if only I had met his ideas earlier in my life, how might it have been different. If you are young and just beginning on your journey, PAY ATTENTION, there is wisdom to be found here.

wow I have just finished this lecture in one take, it was so intense ... I can't believe that I was able to keep my attention through the entire lecture. Thank you Mr Peterson for what you are doing for Humanity. May God bless You. The Path is getting clearer.

Perterson , wise man of our time

when this happened to me I thought I was losing my mind. I didn't know that it was a natural part of the human experience. My upbringing and culture had not prepared me for the journey. Interestingly enough, the preparation I needed came naturally from within. Everything I needed to re-assemble into a valuable, functioning structure was already there waiting for me in the shadows of my being. If you're going through this...I would like to offer up these words: death before dying is a gift. hold on to hope. let go of knowing. breathe. Allow yourself to become small to make space for the you that is arriving.

Thanks again for having the old ones up

Your lectures are of incredible value. thanks so much for sharing them. just got your 12 rules book this week into my kindle. Hi from Rio.

Fabulous all of it, he would be my man on a desert island ❤️

44:05 I love this, such a small change in perspective opens up so much potential

I have so much respect for this guy... What a man! ❤️

Who could have imagined what 2015-2022 would have in store for him. For us.

Well the representation of Kali is totally different. Although I don't know what picture you got Mr Jordan, but the representation of Kali is which I can Frame by understanding which photograph you are referring is that, she is representing a embodiment of power and the man below her feet is not her child, he's shiva(husband of Parvati, and Kali is incarnation of parvati). He went under because it is said that Kali was so angry that he was about to end whole universe, as she is the goddess of power in hinduism. Would say you are right at point of Nature over men, which the act represents. I think you were misinformed about this.

Absolutely true. We may know what it means to be a mom or dad, so we can act it out but we can't essentially say what it takes to be a parent. Lord knows, my parents have tried, though. This i watch on my mom's birthday.

Hello to all my fellow ADHDers binge watching these!

Incredible connections and deep thinking - Amazing lectures. Always and eternally inspiring

Those students will learn more in this one course than all their other courses combined.

5:24, 8:10, 9:22, 10:13, 13:34, 15:06, 16:49, 19:58, 21:24, 22:45, 25:49, 26:36, 28:16, 31:02, 34:19, 36:48, 40:28, 43:01, 51:09, 52:48, 53:29, 58:32, 1:02:58, 1:06:54, 1:07:27, 1:09:42, 1:12:13, 1:17:06 Death is the precondition for learning (Phoenix); Mary is that which enclothes everything (nature).

Re-watching and after a break of 2 years and it's still amazing. Many thanks JP

Your lectures are way better than what I got at collage, you teach understanding and meaning, at my collage they only thought us raw facts, I could have gotten the same experience just from reading the books

Wow... so my own picture of what a mother or father are is ultimately a primate's attempt at piecing together roles that have been born out of nature and are far more complex then I could ever hope to imagine.

We love you Jordan!

God I love Jordan Peterson.

Being Baptised into Christ's Nation was the single proudest greatest day of my life. I was 33 years old. It's true how you describe the experience, the water washes away any insults or hateful motivations you had to purify your spirit. When you appear again soaked through and take your first breath, it symbolises another thing. Now you can breathe easy, you don't have to be disgusted by your own past natures and actions. All is forgiven the very second you repent and give yourself to Christ and to our Father in Heaven. So 32 years as a gobby Atheist, and 8 years as a humble Christian and it has been the toughest but also the best 8 years. Thank God for God :)

I found a clip from this lecture in my recommendations and it seemed relevant to my life right now, so I searched for the full thing. Just one thing I have to add, the reason that character from marvel doesn’t have one of his eyes is not because of legitimate danger he faced. It was his cat that scratched his eye out😂

I am so thankful for you, Doctor.

third lecture on a roll

Reading Mircea Eliade's 'A History of Religious Ideas'... Only on page 39 and I'm running out of sticky notes :-) Having difficulty understanding the myth of Hainuwele from Ceram, New Guinea. The thought of a murdered semi-divine maiden springing forth as yet unknown edible foodstuffs seems a bit simple given the brilliance of the discovery of cultivation by these people. It seems that the translation (and the ultimate game of 'telephone' of oral traditions) may have missed something important. It would seem that murder was confused with a voluntary sacrifice of oneself for the benefit of the tribe. The sacrifice is not ones life in a suicidal sense but rather the life's work of someone to provide something new and useful for the people. This sacrifice of time and effort would fit better than the assumption that a murder took place due to the outrage of others at the discovery that food grew from crap... This would NO DOUBT be obvious to anyone living at the time. People gotta go somewhere and the obvious correlation to human and animal feces to punctuated plant growth must have been known. Considering that my interpretation would allow the stated account for the division of labor between cultivator (women) and hunter/Sheppard/protector (men), the discovery of the need of chronological data for farming and only add the more important need to sacrifice time and labor to result in a hopeful harvest later, I can only surmise that the idea of murder is insufficient to properly explain the impetus for their rational to support the mode of being that results in creative cultivation, division of labor and simultaneously accounts for the sacred nature of the feminine. That was the longest sentence I have ever written in my life.... sorry :-)

The opposite of love is not hate. It can't be. The opposite is indifference. So A and not A holds.

Just 4 years ago, yet he looks like he aged 10 years 😔

no, I respected my parents and didn't want them to suffer.

I laid out this dilemma a couple weeks ago and I want to reformulate it, because you might make some use of it. Okay, here it is: the preservation of meaning in, for example, stories, has two effects: 1) it creates the possibility that an individual will encounter that text and become more enlightened and a better person as a result, and 2) it reduces the immediate need of individuals everywhere to even concern themselves with meaning because anyone who might rely on that person for instructive wisdom and virtue can instead be edified by the preservations. The dilemma is that it's not clear whether the 1st effect renders the 2nd desirable or even acceptable. The dilemma is that the goal of preserving meaning actually sabotages the necessity to wrestle with it.

The only way I can go though this: Listen to it during walking, at least 3 times. Listen again with video and make notes. Try to explain few ideas from the lecture to my friends. Since then there's no point in pressing next video button.

Live by the spirit not the flesh. Speak Life!

I'd like to take a look at the photos that he's showing. seems like powerful stuff.

The notion of perpetual vigilance with respect to institutional corruption is indeed an ancient and salient one.

Is this "Crumb" movie the one about Robert Crumb? That's the only one I can find.

40:30 - about let go and come back

This isn't the presentation I heard the quote in, but who did you mention said something along the line of, "We think so our thoughts can die and not us."?

Very interesting how the Religions took the imagery of the bearded, elderly "Philosopher King" which in it's day symbolized the authentic, Self-realized man/woman and flipped it into a literalized man who lives off in a cloud far away somewhere.

At 55:00, he gave a wonderful rendition of the movie Monster's Inc.

Did the pheonix rising from the ashes motif come about because when our ancestors used to cook birds, sometimes they would fly away?

Just wanted to point out that the readings for this curse are still avaliable in J.P webpage when you go to the section "More", "Academic" and then "Classes".

1:00:00 Talks about women

Maa Kali some times 8, 6, or 3 arms mean or aswell as 3 faces Are the many minds and many action Multitasking on a human human level like a God or Goddess That she is Many eyes, tongues, faces, smiles, legs, are the humans abilities not of evolving but evolution of an enlightened soul But it your wisdom, understanding and it's right in that aspect I enjoy

What's with the title? Great lecture, but I'm five minutes from the end and heard no mention of either shamanism or Eliade..

i really with that the pictures were there

Did he ever get around to Eliade?

so i into mythology, religion and comparison...where should i start with Mircea Eliade? also im rly imaginistic (is that even a word) person. i rly like pictures in book ..like in those of Carl g Jungs one,man and his symbols.

Was anyone else curious of what the Hindu deity, Keli, looked like; and subsequently fell through the rabbit hole or rather a plethora of online resources and images? I spent loads of time and yet feel I barely scraped the surface of Hinduism.

Do you have a link to the movie Crumb?

39:09 - 39:35

"What it means to be human is, well whatever that means, the one thing you can say about it for sure is that it's bloody peculiar" Compared to what... Dr. Peterson? :)

I'm pretty sure jk Rowling took one of doctor's courses

Love it

Which year is his best personality course?

More please

James Bond is also an orphan, by the way

[28:30] On Jung

34:08 "uterinus"

Idea:interesting

Fun fact: The Lion King was based on the Shakespeare play Othello

Can anyone tell me the name of the movie? Sounded like Crum or crumb...but I can't find the video! Can anyone help?

18:30

1:02:08 can someone tell me the name of the book he mentioned

Robert Crumb?

41:12

can someone please provide a link to the movie that professor Peterson cited ?

That was a pretty intense drink at end there professor. You sure that wasnt some good canadian whikey Haha jk. I really enjoy listening to your lectures while i work.

Wow....Jordan is completely wrong about the story of the goddess Kali. It's actualy an avatar of Kali, a midwife called Peryachi. Periyachi is not eating the intestines of the man underfoot (a king she killed by trampling him) but of his queen. The open belly is of the queen on her lap. The child she is holding is the king and queen's child, which they wanted to kill due to a prophecy. If jordan got that wrong...what else did he get wrong?

1:03:08 i had a galaxy brain moment

44:09

17 people embody bad forms

Vesica id nomen est.

It's my mission in life to abolish all propaganda and adverting and marketing geared to exploiting people's weaknesses to line their own pockets. Billionaires are criminals.

He means claustrophobia, by the way; agoraphobia is the exact opposite.

After this lecture the chances that anyone in the class procreated with one another is 0.

1:03:00 kobiety natura

i never watch vampire movies. they suck.

53:00

ehm.. thats not kali.. or a proper explanation of her. Get ur facts straight before giving a speech man.!!!

It seems there's never enough time to explain the mythological philosophy of femininity.

Why does he make all of those weird gestures and facial expressions?

Mmmm dunno, makes me doubt of him when he uses harry potter as a case of study
