This is *exactly* the problem I have with many people in my generation (Milennials). They are looking to the government and to society for their wellbeing. No one will ever give a fuck about you as much as you care about you (okay, maybe your mom or somethin). Your responsibility is to make due with what you got. Most people are expecting a clean house without first cleaning their room. Sure, society might shit on you but they're always gonna do that and, many times, they won't be held to account for it. Nevertheless, you have to continue, because you want a clean room. Separate yourself from the people harming you and clean your rooms till your house gets clean.

Hi @@bernie2124. I think the emphasis that a lot of people are placing right now on personal responsibility is a coping mechanism. It ties into the "just world hypothesis," which you can google if you're interested. The thing is that if there's always some way you can take personal responsibility, it inoculates you psychologically against the threat of a cruel, unpredictable, and often unjust world. I think the desire for that psychological security makes many people callous.

Well put

You make a good point, and I believe that emphasizes Peterson's focus on how it plays out in clinical situations. In my opinion as a mental health therapist, I have seen many cases where there is a truly unjust situation someone is stuck in (abuse, difficult relationships, bullying) and sometimes, especially with children, they are incapable of just removing themselves from the situation or magically having a new job with a nicer boss. Sometimes the most you can do is help them work on themselves to be more resilient in the face of difficult circumstances. It increases their wisdom, insight into themselves, and sometimes that can translate into insight regarding other people's suffering, thus increasing their own patience towards others.

This is an excellent point well made in my opinion, and helped me verbalise some thought I have had alot around this subject. Thanks for putting across your thoughts into the pool, I greatly appreciate it.

Peterson points are 100% fallacies.

That second sentence was honestly 85-90% of the point Peterson was making: If you can't get your own life in order, how do you expect to change anybody else's? Which is a simple concept honestly that people are overcomplicating for some reason.

Zizek: Society is fucked up for so and so reasons. What happens when you clean your room and you’re still stuck in North Korea Peterson: He thinks localism and individualism will be superior. Because the Bible and his archetypal narrative about redeeming fallen humanity. Zizek is right, the answer is yes, please. Both cleaning your room and helping to democratically involve yourself in the transformation of society. Peterson argues for a false Libertarian utopia that cannot solve the global problems we face like Climate Change (he’s a denier), and really has no existing form of localism that actually exists. It seems to only empower what’s already there, strong multi-national corporations who would benefit from the reduction of government institutions.

@@DZ-yk2ew most climate change deniers dont actually deny that the climate is changing. What they argue agains tis the fear mongering death cult that have turned it into the next apocalypse. Just look at who's funding all the groups and who has all their money in green energy and renewable shit. We're not going to die and our western societies have the greatest level of hygene and cleanliness that we have ever had comparitively speaking to the population. The problem with that as well is that 99% of the time when people replace tyrants, they replace them with another tyrant because they have no other model of the world except of what they know. When you can set yourself in order you can then go on to take responsibility to lead the revolution to greater things rather than go out and do the same shit as the dictator you just usurped.

darkanguiel -Peterson, unlike some commenters, understood his point and either countered it, refined his point, or agreed with Zizek’s point and expanded on it to show how it agreed with his view. Peterson’s point is to find a place to focus and move out from that, and since you can control your behavior, that is where you will learn about making successful decisions and making corrections will be easier which will in turn create confidence for addressing those issues outside of the self.

You can't control society though. The only changes you can make are in your personal life.

@@chadmwilliams89 A dangerously wrong, but somewhat popular view. First define "society". It doesn't matter what form (save defining it as "an unchangeable thing", another easily disproved claim) that takes, it is still possible for an individual to affect change within or upon it. Look no further than Zizek for proof, though there are many examples both good and bad.

It's alot more effective to fix your own issues than others for many reasons and if society did that as a whole each individual did it then many of the issues the bigger issues in the society group would automatically start being fixed. It's a very simple concept and that's why it's gained so much traction from so many so fast

Fix what you have agency of then move on to the ones you don't.

I would advise against that. Even Zizek doesn't want to be a Zizek.

and started spitting everywhere 😂😂

i wish i were half as good a rhetorician as zizek.

:))

I honestly think Zizek's argument here was weak to begin with. What if my life is a mess for reasons out of my control. Who can say with all certainty that they have full autonomy and control of their situation. Do concepts as abstract as freedom, will and autonomy even exist? We can't know for sure. That doesn't mean we should be doomed to not do anything, even if it's pointless and we are just deceiving ourselves when we strive to better ourselves and the world

lmfao that clearly tells you that u have understood nothing so is the person that replied to u with the name DRg. house and society is totally different ofc basement dwellers cant differentiate. peterson just toold an age old proverb and told it in his book those who are ignorant of such folks think this is some einstein lvl shit lol.

the "put your house in order" argument is valid if its used properly. on a general note you should follow it. however, there are many situations where the problem is withing a higher structure and working on your house here is doomed to fail or far too slow. also it should not be used to shut down someones argument. there are many people who can produce valuable stuff, despite not getting along with their own life. i even think peterson is part of that but thats just my feeling.

That's exactly what I thought. It took him a while to get there though

@@BuGGyBoBerl I agree partially with what you said, in that, as advice is one to be pragmatic about life. But as a statement describing how the human being interacts with it's environment is very accurate. What action or what kind of interaction can we have if it doesn't, as insignificant as it might be, begin with a conviction to pursue the needs of our own? I'm not saying we are voracious and stupidly egoistic creatures, that's a completely different topic. I'm saying we always are irremediably tied to ourselves. And the microcosmos we have in our heads is nothing but a fraction of the bigger there's outside. I think this is the logic behind Peterson's argument, I don't know if he is aware of it though. Even caring exclusively about te bigger problems means caring about yours, but not covertly so

If you look more closely at Zizek, you will find that he is neither.

Zizek is not a sociologist... He has extensive understandings of and experience with psychoanalysis. He is one of the most educated intellectuals of psychoanalysis alive.

A true psychologist, understands that the individual does not exist as a monad, but as a being in intimate and constitutive relationship with the Other. In any case, from the perspective of the poorest psychology, Peterson's argument (the "rule") is a fallacy. That is, in the perspective of being "primarily a psychologist" he is also wrong (Sorry if there are mistakes, it is not my native language).

Exactly! But I believe zizek ends up more accurate in the long term, as individual behavior tends to be negligible compared to the collective.

@@joshbaino3087 Well I think his point is directed more towards a more optimistic perspective of how you should do all that's in your power to set your own being in order and then repercute positively on others. Because it's true all those important people are troubled themselves but that doesn't necessarily they don't have a minimum order in their lives because they're important for a reason. And Jordan being troubled himself also shows the change you can make by doing your best to set yourself up even when you have depression or other problems. The main point should be something like "Set your house in order as you possibly can even if it's still a mess and then go outside to solve the problems of society that is affecting your own personal life"

He can’t make a point if he can’t even speak

@@joshbaino3087 No I think as always you can't just say Peterson good Zizek bad and viceversa you can extract good points from both as every good argument. It's right that there are elements outside of the reaches of the individual but the message as I said and think is that you must do whatever you can. Your point I think is that that isn't our solution to everything at every moment but I think that depending on how you see it it's indeed the solution to our problems because yes, it isn't perfect. But that's what we've got. And since the collectiveness is built on the individual one should always start fixing the base on which it's constructed. You can understand those ciments as external forces which is true but that's the point of setting yourself up. So imo the conclusion is that while the most important thing is to do what Dr. Peterson said, you should always be aware of Zizek's words and know that there are forces outside of your knowledge and that you can't fix just individually. What matter is to make things better so we're only gonna focus on that the individualization is a good plan for us all even if the idea of the transcendant it's still there

@@joshbaino3087 But not saying that you should ignore everything outside yourself tho. Just saying that fixing yourself is generally more important so you have to be aware always of the larger picture too. It's just a good presumption that whenever something goes wrong YOU can fix it because this way you increase your "efficiency". No matter how lil you apport by doing so really, it matters that it's better and it will depend on the person alone if the effort is worth it. But yeah but see even if the bigger picture isn't much affected it is always good to have where you part from well consolidated. Of course the bigger picture problems have to be tackled too but like we're both saying some of those are external forces we don't posses power on. Where they and you and I differ imo it's that Peterson is proposing the best possible solution while not the perfect one but Zizek is trying to find a clear answer to everything. Individualization will fix all society's problems? Of course it'll not, but it's a very good base and tool. And also important to know that Individualization doesn't equal to close yourself up from the outside imo it just means "think for yourself" or something on the same line

Zizek is correct a person can work his ass to death, but if the system he/she lives doesn't reward this person's effort, it's worthless, then when this person gets old and sick, he/she will be thrown to the junk yard.

Peterson's solution is both as well. But an individual will have a much higher success rate of changing society in the right way if they can routinely clean their room and maintain cleanliness of their room. It breeds competence and order, which JP considers to be ESSENTIAL _foundations_ needed in one's life before they can tackle larger societal problems. You need a collective of people able to actually change their environments in a perceptible manner consistently to lead the charge for social change, is JP's argument. That starts with being able to set a small facet of their life in ordec consistently (cleaning your room and maintaining its cleanliness).

@@Un1234l Well without a systematic change the individual change is useless. Let me give you an example. Let's say somebody is thrown into a cell with no food. This cell represents society. Under Peterson's ideal if this person is starving is because he or she is lazy or unproductive. The reality is that you can blame someone all day long, someone in a cell without food, tell them they have to get "their shit together", but food won't magically appear even if they decide to be productive. If someone in North Korea wants to have a successful restaurant, I don't care if he has his shit together according to Peterson, he will fail. I disagree with you and Peterson with the last argument. I believe you have as a collective to be aware as problem and compromise to solve it, because no individual can overthrow a corrupt government. We will disagree all day long perhaps because you have strong beliefs but my suggestion is to go to North Korea and try be successful. Peterson is very comfortable talking in the first world.

@@johndoedoe88 No one's saying you don't try to change anything, or that there will ALWAYS be a way out... He's also mostly speaking specifically about these middle class people not in a totalitarian environment (who in fact live in a democratic society with equal opportunity for all), who prioritize going for radical social justice changes rather than setting order in their own lives first, and then building upon that competence to see what they can or cannot change, whether due to competence issues or systematic barriers in place. Completely different environment: people who have too much idealism and not enough experience trying to naively change things. But let's suppose you're arguing within the confines of this environment: surely big systematic changes have a bigger impact than individual changes? Yes of course, but big systematic changes always have BIG consequences, good or bad, and no one should be in charge of these big changes that will dramatically shift society _until they have a good track record of showing us they know what they're doing._ Like never leaving a rookie restaurant dishwasher in charge of handling the cooking, leading the team, managing of orders, and keeping the restaurant on track and in order. There is a wealth of experience, skill, and wisdom needed before they can be tasked with leading a change in the restaurant, in terms of food, management, etc. Otherwise they can and SHOULD only realistically change what's happening at the dishwasher level, because they have no insight into what the rest of the restaurant is doing or how it operates. _If they want to lead bigger changes, they should first become intimately familiar and competent with the other roles in the restaurant before they cause potential disarray._ It's also similar to having a sheltered monarch with no advisors creating laws vs a well-cultured, well-studied monarch who has lived among the people and with great advisors creating laws. If, for example, the rookie dishwasher just decides to successfully lobby that all orders must be made only as they come to ensure maximum freshness, higher food quality, that will definitely lead to big changes, and maybe even higher quality food on account of the proven principle that fresh food tastes best, but this dishwasher fails to realize that their solution is not feasible on a time basis, causes undue extra stress on the cooks and servers, results in longer wait and cook times and thus slower service that turns away customers, creates a smaller menu of feasible orders; and even the fact that making ALL orders as they come is beneficially negligible in many cases. Such a rookie didn't have the experience and insight to see why their proposed solution is good or bad, or even feasible. But even within the confines of your prison/totalitarian/famine scenario, the person with the most composure and orderliness has the most _potential_ and capability to change things, RELATIVE to his peers. IF an opportunity is to arise, it's the person who has his shit together who is most likely to really cause a change. Peterson would also argue that in such an oppressive environment, of COURSE some things would be impossible to change. That's his entire position on WHY you should clean your room first, to see what is and what isn't impossible, "[paraphrased] because to change big social structures is bloody difficult and complicated, man. If you can't even consistently keep order in a small domain of your life, and it constantly falls into chaos under your watch, what makes you think you can create and maintain order when tasked with social systems and social structures that are MUCH more complex than cleaning your room?" Again, he has ALWAYS argued that big social changes are harder than what these middle class idealists naively believe. But if a person were put in an environment that gives them the opportunity to create social change (i.e. non-totalitarian, equal opportunity democratic society), then gaining competence in small things and building upon that competence, gaining insight into how things operate, is the way you best bring about those changes. If you're in a famine, totalitarian, or tightly regulated environment like North Korea, he'd say "tough luck, man," because he KNOWS realistically there's such few opportunities in such cases and it'd be a MUCH more difficult task for anybody to change things from within. But even still, given a person in such an environment, the one able to consistently set order in a small area of their life through a building of competence, is the one most likely to change things, if given the opportunity, not the one who's all talk and no results. They are more psychologically resilient, capable, and have insider knowledge about how things work, and thus how things can be changed, IF things can be changed at all. TL;DR: He NEVER stated that ANYONE can and WILL topple oppressive totalitarian societies by first cleaning their rooms, or that doing so will find a solution to famine, which are much more engrained and complex social problems; he's just stating that in an environment where you can change things, being able to consistently keep one's room clean gives the person the right foundation to build upon, and fosters in them the right mindset that they should first see what they are capable of exerting control over, and see if they can first exert control over a smaller domain, then working up to more complex domains, enacting changes there and seeing their effects on a smaller scale before they are tasked with things on a larger scale. Like a student electrician vs multi-decade nuclear reactor electrician. Or municipal leader vs provincial, vs federal, vs prime minister/president.

But imagine if everyone in North Korea tried to clean their room.

The thing is zizek posed no threat to Jordan's view points they all related to it, only case he made was I dont think your way works because I'm pessimistic, I'm not buying that he is a real intellectual he is just a highly functional argumentative person without the capacity to find a moral solution so he takes the lazy way out which is to have everyone ruled by a dictator.

Not necessarily, sometimes . This are different ideologies. You either believe ir are in line with one or the other. I choose the latter, Dr. Peterson. I personally didnt learn, grow, or made me question my current way or life from Zizek words. Dont get me wrong, I understand what his saying, his points, I just completely disagree with that way of view. Personally for me Dr. Peterson's way has brought meaning into my life. I mean I no longer fear death, I live every day in a state of mind of love, joy, compassion, gratitude and humility. Are some days bad, yes, do I get sad sometimes yes, does shit hit the fan sometimes, yes but my overall view and look in life of life is a complete 180. For the first time in my life I'm genuinely happy.

@@b3hemoth448 see there is an exception so there cant be any deeper truth to what Peterson says right? Its just flys over ppls heads what he jordan is really saying.

Naahh Zizek moves his hands too much. The way he delivers his point is intimidating. He simply can not accept to clean his room, one has to start at something.

Zizek made the same points a lazy child would make. He doesn't understand the point of being disciplined & he rather blame society for all his problems. We are a product of our environment but the first step to a better life & change is to learn discipline .

Hahaha yup

No he said: lets clean society

@@evolution__snow6784 they both did actually

@@iansantos3808 no Peterson says clean your room, like the clip you just watched said

@@evolution__snow6784No clean you’re room is find you’re inner flaws recognize them work on them so you can work of society. Even if you are in Korea, for example if you are in a Dictatorship and you’re being indoctrinated by a certain idea you need to clean you’re room. But what does that men ?; It means identify that you’re being indoctrinated , find the flaws do you’re homework fix you’re self and try to fix society for example or try to make the best of the situation. Some times beating the system is almost impossible so you need to reinvent yourself, find meaning in that society and make it the best you can. An example of not cleaning you’re room is the great number of voters that don’t find there inner flaws of their thinking or morality but want to fix society not knowing what they really want. And I am with Zizek in this, I have a pessimist view on the people. People are lazy to really inform themselves. And they make lazy assumptions or accusations.

I know! People are just reducing it to a "us vs them" mentality

These youtube titles are ridiculous

@@NoVisionGuy Well he quite literally did challenge Dr. Peterson, did he not? They describe it as so in the actual discussion. LOL

@@VicSellsPeace my bad, I've seen too many thumbnails that I automatically assume titles get dramatic, this kind of thumbnail is one of em

it actually exposes the pseudo intellectualism of Peterson.

Hahahaha That’s hilarious 😂

The echo AND the lisp... ☔😳 too much

agreed. They just had a disagreement thats all. Every one should learn from them how to lead a civil life.

On the other hand. 💊I'm sharing Acts 2:38 with anyone who wants it bless

Extremely misleading thumbnail. But that’s life nowadays

IDK, I feel like this says more about the expectations of the viewer. Anyone mildly familiar with Zizek will know he's not going to be literally shouting aggressively/angrily at a person but instead having an intelligent discussion, basically, with perhaps some jokes and at most a little fun sarcasm.

Well a challenge isn't something evil, it is just that. I think it actually hit on point this time. You don't even have to disagree with someone to challange them. For example if i challange a friend in her/his beliefs. It is just used as another word to instigate discussion.

Zizek and Peterson is literally on the same boat. What I am seeing from this debate is that Zizek is constantly trying to help Peterson to let loose of himself and become much aggressive and go on the strategically-offensive against his "enemies" in this theory.

Zizek destroyed Peterson here. Anything else is a romantic view.

I dont see that he killed him in anything. Zizek is just asking with questions, like usual balkanik communist who wants to make other in insecurity with questions. Peterson gave all answers like high power.

Your comment is gold.. 🤣

My God I was crying imagining this. I still can't stop laughing

Yup. There aren't any dumb questions to ask, only dumb answers to answer

Well, Zizek is a philosopher and a dreamer but not a realistic person. He has no idea about the real humans and the human nature. He lives in the world of ideas and philosophy but not in the true facts.

@@tomek1867 I can't say I know much about him, but I think when it comes to emotions and behaviour, there are very few facts, a lot of it is purely philosophical and I think he had a good point. Some people are in particularly difficult situations that make it a lot more tricky to "set your house in order" than others, who's to say that there's not someone in a situation that makes it *impossible*?

@@MichaelRRyan Well, human nature is as it is and that is a fact whether we like it or not; biology rules human behavior: instincts etc. Philosophy is a kind of fairy tale. The United States was founded on taking land from and extermination of Native Americans. It is the same with human nature: greed and greed and again greed and of course domination.

@@tomek1867 of course it's fact, everything is as far as we can tell, but no one knows the facts of how we act. Psychology is a field of theories, and there are very few, if any hard facts, and any psychologist could tell you that. Philosophy is not so much fairytales, it's a field that focuses a lot on how we *should* act, how we should live to feel fulfilled. We as humans have our biological motivations, but we also have the ability to go against them and think with logic instead, which is why a field focusing on *how* to live is so important
