He made an interesting point: we have to be an ideological puppet first before we become a fully independent individual who can think for themselves, because otherwise we wouldn't look at what we believe critically and transcend from there.

*"We think things we don't act out and we act out things we don't dream"* he said that so quickly and nonchalantly. Love this man so much.

Praying for Jordan

This man has changed my life. His message was the only thing that helped me see clearly the way to move forward. God Bless you Dr Peterson!

i love and respect this man. and wish him well and peace continually. can’t think of a kinder, more logical, peaceful, more eloquent being in these disturbed times. i feel blessed he’s out there making sense of things and helping so many of us ❤️🙏

I hope he gets well soon & comes back.

Knowing and understanding is wisdom which I think every person should seek everyday they possibly can.

Finally someone who I can understand and that’s not simple. He makes it pretty clear. I think it’s interesting that he brings up that you need to be disciplined after childhood to become independent and to know how to live

Thank you. In these times of absolute, upheaval,.... I need the voice of reason, more than ever. Mr Peterson. I wish you well. Hearing your mind at work, is precious rainwater, after a long drought.

I wish I saw this before screwing around with my college path

We need more people like him. Brilliant mind

I have followed Dr.Peterson for years now , it was his lectures that got me through my degree at university as a mature student of counselling psychology.In those circles so few if us dare to mention him or reference him because university felt institutionally captured. This is one of my favourite clips.Wonderful.Thanks for everything Professor Peterson.I've saved many of your talks for my grandchildren when they grow up. My autistic adult child is still influenced by trans ideology, thinks of herself as 'non binary' but far less so than say 8 years ago. Her and her contemporaries are derisive when Ive mentioned your name. Its been tricky to keep her close and at the same time gently stand my ground and disagreeing with her on these matters. I hope she may put her prejudice aside and listen to you with an open heart and mind one day.

Mr Peterson I missed your lectures and wishing the best to you and your family.

I think of Freud the same way, no matter what criticisms you may be able to level against him, his work gives you the way to transcend his personal limitations.

I hope that things will be better for you man...we need your wisdom.

Hoping for his full recovery, we need him so much!

I LOVED your Biblical series Dr Peterson. I have watched them all, though I must admit that biting off 2 1/2 hours at a time is a bit more than I can chew. Much like my reading Doestoevsky (at your call), where I rarely got over 10 pages before feeling the desire to stop and process. Thanks for your clarity in a world that seems to revel in muddy minds. You are curative for the world.

It is because of FOOLS a WISE man sands out! Keep up the great work and ignore all the FOOLS!!!!

Thank you Dr Jordan. I hated you first but I have to admit that you may have saved my life. And I am from the middle east. I pray for you.

It’s hard to find someone who can take me this deep.

4:10 he makes such a great point about the mind and verbalizing vs acting out then understanding how to articulate what you already knew. 💡💡💡

Jordon , I just thank you bossman. Your a true Genius, and stay.in awe. You shred brother

Mr. Peterson the people love you ur special by who you are thank you take the time ya need we’ care of ur well being thank you much love respect to you sir thank you.

God bless this man who has unknowingly helped me tremendously

Jordan Peterson, don't ever stop. You have raised sons you will never meet. But I for one will strive to prosper until I meet you

Thank you Dr. Peterson :)

Excellent lecture characterizing Nietzsche’s mind.

Remarkable analysis. Fortunately - I read most of The Antichrist so saw the writing where Nietzche bemoans or mourns the Death of God, so great a being, if memory serves. The explanation of the state of the modern man very helpful and enlightening. I will say as an Evangelical with Faith - Being committed to that Faith - even though I can not prove it True - is an anchor to the soul and mind. I also believe the tenants of Christianity and the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures have great value for society - Even if approached in a secular mindset as I believe Jordan always does. Thanks JBP Clips.

"The ritual lasts long after the reason has been forgotten."

Wow. That's a good one.

@5:00 "We think things we don't act out, and act out things we don't dream"

"The rituals last long after the reasons have been forgotten"

I also noticed with this learning deficit it takes me so hard to understand what I am being homeless teach and I can't tell the person teaching me get mad.

He's back ☺️

Full link to this lecture anyone please and thank you !? May we all prosper in these times 🙏

I ask after this video, what comes NEXT? Nietzsche saw the tumult we are still in, where will the resolution bring us, and how will it be reached? These are philosophical ladder steps for civilization, first stability, then disruption, then a somewhat more wizened stability. Which Niche Awaits the Greats?

My life has been so hard with a learning deficit disorder makes it hard even today in my life when I'm trying to absorb new information at my job and I can tell it's making the boss man irritated I've been having this problem since child I wish I could have absorb information quick like everybody.

AT 4:10 , he says it ALL

+The ritual lasts long after the reasons have been forgotten."

'You may know... you may not' sounds like the start of a scene in a mafia film lol.

God bless you MrPeterson.Im a big fan of your lectures sadly didn't have the luck to attend any but im happy i watch from youtube.I respect ur work and I pray for a speedy recovery.I wish you healing in Jesus name.Amen.

Succinct! I do hope Dr. Peterson is getting better.

This part sounds like the "past authoring" instructions on his #selfauthoring program 4:35

The intensity of only seven minutes. casse-tête!

"an absolute intellectual tour de fource of staggering magnitude"- Jordan Peterson for ya

Praying the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you to all truth and you will become born again. You are such a precious lovely soul. "When you become a born-again Christian by believing the Gospel (accepting and receiving Christ alone to save your soul), you immediately become a child of God. Once you get saved, you are a permanent member of the heavenly family, and you can never be disowned for any reason. Even if you tried to return the gift of eternal life, it would be IMPOSSIBLE! If you ever hear anyone claiming that they “used to be a Christian,” it simply means that they once ascribed to the philosophy of Christianity, but they were never really born-again by the power of the Gospel (2nd Timothy 3:5)." - Hank Lindstrom

This is what separates truth from tradition when it comes to belief in God. Most Bible-based religions for example, observe holidays and they don’t really know why but that’s a lot of things, people don’t know why they believe something, why they are doing some thing, why they’re saying something, they only know that they’re doing it for reasons that they think they know but they don’t really understand this is why most religion is false religion. These are definitely the days when we know far more than we understand and that’s very dangerous.

When i read the chapter 3 will of power of the book the psychology of the unconscious by c g jung, he is just demolishing nietzsche in his philosophy but i dont think he demolish his critics btw and now im odds with nietzsche

It's a shame Nietzsche didn't go deeper into Eastern Orthodox Christianity. I suspect his enquiry would've been deeply fulfilled.

Not all of our integrated parts communicate well with one another.

didn't really understand this video ;-; might have to watch it a couple more times

Rabbi Kaduri vision of war happen 03/17/18 at the 100th meridian.

It's easy to tell the difference between knowing and understanding. You know that DNA is what tells the cells to behave a certain way but you don't understand it.

Some days I swear, just briefly, I can smell wires burning. Mine, that is....d.

Feynman techniques help.

Reruns? again? Bring back Jordan

...that's why I think that we - as a species - are still stuck in adolescence. On the surface, we call the process JBP described here "growing up", becoming "aware" or "conscious" for that matter. Of course, these concepts (as abstract concepts tend to do) include sooo many different layers of meaning and it's a challenge to untangle them, but that's what every single one of us needs to do - to the best of our abilities. Till that actually happens, we're gonna keep acting like spoiled brats, complaining and blaming instead of taking responsibility. #justmy2cents #nuffsaid

5:12 So when your articulated knowledge becomes out of sync with your dream like knowledge, it creates a sort of sickness of the spirit, and people tried to fix this by using religion which created bad outcomes? If I’m understanding this correctly I’m just wondering, so if religion doesn’t work, what should you do, to sync your articulated knowledge and your dream like knowledge?

Read the book, the only book, beyond good and evil. Long life to the King!

I am in need for someone to help me see something I believe in. Perceive outside world is in a sense a believe, but I am talking about believe as ability to fight conflict in order to find truth. So to fight something not exactly knowing what it is, hoping to be right, would qualify as believe. I know, I believe in love between equals, between two. But to fight someone who things two are the one is impossible. Because it is the one, in a sense, but while you are within that one you are not merged. I m so much tired of being killed as wrong part of self within the one. That's not love, that's lazy attitude. Aaaaaaaa!!!!

Can somebody tell me how to spell the characters name in his example? Would love to look him up, but I can only think to spell it as "niche" lol Nvm. I got it lol. "Nietzsche"

'You may not know this, but I'm a fan of Neitzche'. You know what, Jordan. Believe it or not, I ascertained that a while ago. I'm not quite sure why exactly. I speculate it may have SOMETHING to do with the fact that you've mentioned him about 10 Trillion Times! You said something along the lines of 'a lot of put up Christmas Trees, but none of us know why'? Whatchu jivin' about, boy! We all know why or at least we all SHOULD know why. Once Constantine converted to Christianity, we saw The Roman Catholic Church slowly incorporate more and more Pagan elements into their theology in an attempt to convince The Pagans of Rome to join. So, they decided to incorporate Saturn alia which was a really popular Holiday at the time and The Germanic Pagan Holiday, Yule. People celebrating Yule historically brought Evergreen Trees in their house because they thought they had some 'Magical Quality' because they were the only trees that didn't lose their 'colour' in the 'dead of winter'. When you said 'The ritual lasts longer than the reasons that have been forgotten', I'm curious to know if you construe that as a 'good thing' or 'bad thing'. I construe it as 'bad'. When all meaning has been eviscerated, it's a 'dead ritual' for lack of a better word. Frankly, I think you're better off starting A new ritual with a new meaning. Your analogy of the person upset, but can't place their finger on why exactly they're upset. They invariably start crying and suddenly, like an epiphany they are aware of the reason. I saw you use a similar analogy with Sam Harris, seemingly to lend credence to your 'Non Materialistic' and possibly 'Cartesian Dualistic' beliefs. Sometimes there can be 'disconnects' between facets of The brain, which can completely explain this phenomenon. One example is 'Presquez-Vu'. The popular theory is that when were trying to remember a word or concept, the brain , in an effort to 'help' blocks out all similar words to your 'intuitive conception'. The only problem is, it also blocks out the precise word that you're trying to remember. We've all had Deja-Vu before. The theory that I find most plausible goes something like this... Sometimes, we have minor epileptic episodes in one region of the brain's neurons all 'fire' at once, rendering that section of The brain non functioning for one seceventSo, we gather visual stimuli with our eyes. The main centre for processing visual stimuli is The Occipital Lobe. But, it turns out that visual data also goes to the Amygdala and a small section which aids in visual data called The Techtum. Let's assume that you witness a sequence of 3 events... A, B, C. BUT when your Occipital Lobe receives 'A,B and C, it has a minor epileptic event which means that it processes 'C' 1 second after the Amygdala and Techtum. So... All data is transferred to the Conscious apart of The Brain. So... You say, I witnessed A, B.and then C, but because The Occipital Lobe received the signal late, your 'Conscious Mind' receives a SECOND 'C' right after. So your brain naturally asks 'Wait... Didn't this already happen'? That's a very likely explanation. Because we can experience so many types of 'disconnects' in the brain, I don't find your 'Crying and then remembering analogy to be impressive in the least. Perhaps it was merely due to a Physical Disconnect.

Om shanti k good

Hey guys, can someone explain how the content of this video relates to the title?

Ramblings are ramblings if we quote or not.

There is ALOT of Bric-a-brac cluttering up any belief system. But it is better than the structure-less nihilism that produces, maintains, and creates nothing - and is the zeitgeist of the Kali Yuga epoch of a civilization in decline and eventual downfall. Mankind has known poverty and struggle since its dawning and has struggled valiantly - many times - to climb out the muck. We're Very good at that. What humanity has not yet learned to cope with is how to survive the peace and plenty of luxus. . ...and thus the wheel of fortune turns. . What I am curious about is the relative immortality of the bureaucracy of the Catholic church that has remained intact for nearly 2 millennium and survives to this day; and how the Rothschilds Family has survived centuries without the shirt-sleeves to shirt sleeves in 3 generations family fortune phenomenon. Both are like HeLa cells in regards to the lifespan of sociological systems. .

Dear dr Peterson, I noticed your grief when you refered to people you live whom you think will be thrown into hell fire after death. I hereby wish to guide your attention to the fact that that theology has been created by religeous leaders (for similar reasons as what you see in secular leaders today) and is NOT scriptural. God has revealed it to those who search for Him in this epog of truth and righteousness. We are dealing with a God of love who calls us to walk in love and do what He asks us to do; starting with His instructions in His Book in order to discover and hear Him. Be blessed.

What neitcha is he talking about? Its not very clear

implicit memory..

While I very much respect the intellect of Jordan Peterson, he sometimes lumps the entire world into one bucket - near the end of this clip he says something like the world learns how to put everything together which introduces ideologies such as organized religion. He says this is horrible and than he says Nietzsche predicted millions of people would die in the 20th century due to the ideology of the left. First, the millions of people who died were as a result of non-religious people - none of the big 3 believed in God - Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Second, it was the Christian nation's love of God, people, and freedom that pushed back at that tyranny and stopped the genocide. While we didn't free the entire world right away, we freed enough to eventually get the USSR to eventually acquiesce to a certain amount of capitalism and freedom (until Putin pulled the reins in on some of the freedoms the Russian people started enjoying). China has remained under the thumb of an oppressive regime and look at the penalties the world is dealing with because of the actions of China. I think that Jordan is brilliant and I love the way his mind tries to think of everything, but a little faith in something bigger than ourselves is not a bad thing. I read a book titled "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist", which was fantastic. If you can read that book and still firmly believe that a Creator doesn't exist, then I won't waste your time trying to get you to believe in God. Sombody/Something kickstarted the whole existence of this world. I am not smart enough to understand everything behind it, but I am smart enough to understand that we didn't just come to be - Somebody created us. I choose to call that Creator God and if God created us, there has to be a reason. Once again, not smart enough to figure out the reason, but willing to put my faith in God that He is much smarter than me and knows why we are here.

The Western World needs Christianity more than vice versa. Let’s say the Bible and their God exists, doesn’t that mean he would be the source of ultimate meaning, truth and reasoning? I love Mr. Peterson intellectual way to see Christianity but I always think it’s sad that he sees that more theoretical than a reality. Would love to see him someday have a dialogue with Ravi Zacharias. Two great minds, while the other one got it figured out what the fundament of this world is.

3:12, he's talking of Sam Harris.

Cristianity is not catolicism...😉

The Catholic Faith is the only semi-scientific dogma that humanity has ever produced. Reading the Fathers of the early Church is so memorizing. Most religions that ever existed were just base on superstition; not the Catholic Church.

Maybe some of you Westernerers will contemplate on why you condone (and many times, encourage) some vile, disgusting and abominable behaviours in society that was prohibited and even illegal in the past. Maybe then you'll consider rethinking your perspective on life (or lack thereof).

I LOVED your Biblical series Dr Peterson. I have watched them all, though I must admit that biting off 2 1/2 hours at a time is a bit more than I can chew. Much like my reading Doestoevsky (at your call), where I rarely got over 10 pages before feeling the desire to stop and process. Thanks for your clarity in a world that seems to revel in muddy minds.
