jonah krause: Well, a 'saint' does things others dont;) The feminine and masculine or chaos and petrification What's the right amount of femininity? It can not be femininity alone, it needs some masculinity to be harmonious, otherwise it is the destroying power of the dark Cali the indian goddess and wife of Shiva. The same with masculinity, both extremes have to surf somewhere in between to find a healthy balance, femininity more on this, masculinity more on the other side of the middle. The more extreme a feminine or a masculine system, the more extreme ought to be the opposite answer, an unwise procedure only unavoidable when things got wrong drastically. Therefore I think it is not wise to use chaos as the opposite of order, since chaos has a much more negative flavor than order. Chaos and petrification would be more correct. Feminine Masculine chaos petrification disorder order unfixed fixed creative concrete softness structure caring supportive
Justin Mackadocious Did you have to pay for this video? No, so it's still free for all of us! Those who pay him on Patreon do so voluntarily and they only had the advantage of being able to pose the questions.
Dr. Peterson, your spirit animal would definitely be the mongoose. It is not intimidating to look at but is actually very intelligent, clever, fierce, quick-witted and stands its ground when attacked. Oh, and it can kill snakes.
Kushagra Shukla Kermit? What sort of animal is that? I was thinking more about a border collie, full of intelligence, used to protect and guide the flock to the right path, slow to anger but dosen't lack teeth
Cant tell you how much I love this man.....trying to get my 14 year old son to check out the lectures. What every young person needs is to hear is this man's message.
Dr Peterson, I cannot thank you enough for your insight and direction. You are enriching our world. We understand what you say which means we already know this but we don't hear it or respect ourselves enough to believe it alone. Plus we don't have the eloquence or research that you do. So thanks for saying what we already know deep down in a knowledgeable, eloquent, well thought out way so we believe in ourselves. Thank you Sir.
We're extremely fortunate our generation has a teacher and leader like you in our time. You're a wise voice of reason. God bless you Jordan, we love you.
Héctor Portillo Rivas Jajaja, no porque alguien te contestó a ti, yo soy de Granada España pero vivo en Texas desde el 1995, soy residente permanente de los Estados Unidos, pero sigo siendo ciudadana Española. Saludos desde las Américas. 😊
Thank you so much Professor Jordan Peterson. You stand strong, articulate concisely & truthfully within whatever subject you are speaking to. The world would be a better place with more people such as you. Sincerely.
Thank you Dr. Peterson. I am reading your book and working on the Self-Authoring program. I have watched most of your interviews on UA-cam as well. I think your book is one of the best books I've ever read and have had pause several times where I had to take time to cry. A very meaningful book for me personally. You have helped me more than I can express. I am 62 years old and find that I am finally starting to think clearer and I have hope now. Thank you.
I remember not trusting intellectuals and thinking nearly all professors were, like media, indoctrinators. Then came JP. Now through him, I've discovered many striving to fight for the values I hold dear. Thank you Dr. Peterson for restoring my faith in mankind.
Mr. Peterson, I hope there is a chance you will read this comment because this is information I really want you to know. First, thank you for bringing commonsense and intelligence to the forefront of the conversation for ways to live a good life. Second, I watch almost everything you publish online including interviews and most people are so uncivil. They machine gun questions, make stupid assumptions, don’t allow you to answer, and then say you are prickly. Third, there are a lot of people that seem to be jealous of your success, you probably won’t say it but I will. And that is a factor in the venom some interviewers throw your way. Lastly, I am a middle aged black woman and I love you. So many people try to pigeon hole you to appealing to young, white, racist men. And that is just not true!
adaku75 Well said, from a middle-aged white English male. I doubt, and fervently hope that we are all much less divided than the media pushes at us. Best wishes to you 🙂
Hey there middle aged black south african loving it ... got my 17 yr old son hooked too .... we discuss our roles and behaviour on a daily basis I/we are very very fortunate.....
What an immense pleasure! Thanks Dr. Peterson! Glad to see lots of healthy color in your face & very happy to hear of all the upcoming releases & events. God bless
Great session. Happy to hear that the online university is progressing ahead of schedule. Proud that my Patreon investments are helping to fund that noble goal.
Dr. Peterson, I am amazed at the strength with which you keep your eye on the truth. I've seen you in some tight spots, and I mean at a deep level that may not be obvious, and I so admire the great quality and deep honesty of your struggle at such times. I hope you continue this forever. You have helped me so much.
Dear MR Peterson, Words cannot describe the respect and awe in which I hold a man who can hold such an informed, detailed and articulate view of so many complex and challenging questions. I often find your responses resonate with my own deepest and often unvoiced thoughts and thinking, but more often than not I am staggered by the clarity and simplicity of your insights, NOT that they are simple, far from it, but in the hearing of your discussions there is such a profound honest insight and it fits so easily with so much of what I have learnt and experienced over my own life!! Perhaps easy to say as I deeply believe in apparently almost everything you believe in. I could drone on for hours, I hope and trust you have many grateful responses, so I will just say THANK YOU. I appreciate your time to delve into these issues as I have so little time to work through these on my own!! Thank You, for making my life richer, fuller and more deeply integrated, therefore satisfying!! THANK YOU!! Might I humbly suggest, you might consider reading or listening to Fr Richard Rohr??
This man gave me a lifetime of educational content to watch and read from his videos and books to recommended reading. Im 38 and I’ve been learning more about things in the last year since listening to him than I did my whole life. Thx bro
The positive side of chaos is growth. The feminine dichotomy is chaos and growth; the masculine is tyranny and order. Too much order begets tyranny, and undirected growth begets chaos.The proper instantiation of order tames chaos into a fruitful garden. The pruning of fruit trees is an excellent example of this, as the chaotic growth of many branches are trimmed to direct the flow of nutrients to areas of importance, but too much pruning can kill the tree.
Putrid_Excrescence Thank you. Chaos isn’t “bad”, it’s a natural process. Out of tyranny comes chaos, then comes growth, then stabilization, then order, then tyranny, etc. etc.
Again, thank you Dr. Peterson. Studying and learning a little bit everday and negotiating obstacles of illness, financial decisions, work. So many areas in my life and my husband and I are getting through it all with your suggestions and the help of friends and family. God bless you, Tammy and you dear children.
Thank you, (Internet) Dad. ♥ Re: Qs 2 & 3 - I am an introverted and a highly agreeable woman who told the truth in work today after watching this during my morning commute.
Some really profound and authentic insights. I heard your BBC Hardtalk interview and quite agree with your perception of the premeditated agenda of the BBC. Thanks for all you are doing. It is profoundly important.
Mr. Jordan Peterson is a gift from Heaven, enlightening the world to the changes that may come, so we can avoid slipping down the path of socialism/communism. Very important ideological piece toward worldwide tranquility. Free speech in a freedom loving world is the only hope to thwart the advance of socialism/communism that have killed millions in not so distant past. Kudos to you Sir Peterson.
Thank you so much Jordan Peterson for all your work, I don't feel like such a stranger in the world anymore, though I have a lot of work to do on myself.
Only Jordan would characterize feelings of frustration and righteous indignation with hacktivist 'journalists' trying to tear him down as "internal corruption on my part". A wonderful display of humility. Love this guy!
"Life is an adventure. And I think the greatest adventure you can possibly have is the one that you find if you look for the truth.". THANK YOU Dr Peterson. I wish I'd found you 20 years ago.

Dr. Peterson, I couldn't be more pleased to see you delivering your lectures in many places over the globe. It seems to me that is the best use of your hard gained wisdom and exceptional speaking talent is spreading the seeds of sanity over the most area. Hopefully, many powerful plants will take deep roots and spread. Thank you-Thank you-Thank you! My Patreon contribution, although only what I can afford for now will continue for the indefinite future. Anyone reading this.... contribute money, WHATEVER you can afford. Since we are not Dr. Peterson, it's probably the very best and most positive thing we can do to help effect change!
Mr Petersen, In the unlikely event that you read this comment, I would like to thank you for your work. I have recently completed your book, "12 Rules For Life", and thoroughly enjoyed its depth, sense of meaning and the call to a higher moral standard and overall better self. :)
Seems like the proper balanced feminine is something like creativity. Dominance, Order, Creativity, Chaos. As an artist, I have to let my ordering mind lesson in order to even make the first mark on the canvas. Wisdom is like seeing the whole (chaos) of the world and creatively slotting it into the known.
“Seeing the whole” is perhaps closer. The masculine forges and fine tunes the specific while the properly balanced feminine sees how the specific fits into the whole.
Jordan Peterson is the father I never had, he has made such an impact in my life, made me a better person and a more insightful mother. My children thank you!
It is both incredible and sad that I get more wisdom and life advise from Peterson than my own father. Keep up the good work JBP, you are changing lives for the better.
Annie Simon no, not exactly... More that a decent father and a decent man should be able to give good life advise to their children. It just makes me slightly sad that so many people need to get the advise from JBP due to the huge void so many men have in their lives. My father incidentally was an extremely successful Surgeon and inventor of medical tools in his later life. But an extremely poor role model for his many children.
Wow...no words. The more I listen to you, the more I figure out how to face my dysfunctional childhood. The desire strive to be not just good or ok as a result of my past, but to be all I could be...man, I wish I could tell you my story and how far I have come. Thank you for helping encourage me to face the abyss within me and deal with the subconscious damage from abuse. I want to be free and I am taking what you speak, with my Bible and Christianity to face it and work it out. Thank you, Sir. I cant wait for your next book.
Just occurred to me, JBP has been rescued from the belly of the whale by his daughter Mikhaila. She struggled immensely when growing up with all sorts of health problems. Through that adversity she discovered how important diet is to her health and wellbeing. She then used that knowledge to help JBP get out of the depression and health issues he was dealing with and now they’re both doing fantastic. Not so good for the cows though...
Today is the first day of being everything I can be. Thank you Dr for continuing to show people their potential and not backing down. A modern day hero!
I could say so much about how I have transformed me and my life since Ive found you, your videos, book and self authoring program .... but for now I want to sincerely say THANK YOU.
Thank You Mr. Peterson for all you are doing for humanity. I wish you and your family the best. I am listening and sharing all of your lectures and really enjoying your biblical series. I have to put Archipelago down every other night or so. I had no idea how people can be so despicable-eventhough I served 17yrs in law enforcement. I am also watching the "walk away" vids. There is hope!😃
You are amazing! And i am so glad i stumbled upon your material. It helps me allot. And I start to believe your popularity is just at the beginning stages. good luck for the future!
Dear Professor....without any disrespect to your father, I remember you mentioned he sometimes tells you to "talk too much". I vehemently disagree!!!! In fact, I cannot get enough of your enlightening, aw-inspiring, and aha-moment giving talks....they are priceless in these trying times.
Thank you so much Dr. Peterson, because of your lectures I've been able to help my grandfather deal with my grandma's final stage Alzheimer's. They saved my life when I was a child, I can't express how grateful I am to have been able to say goodbye to her and thank her for saving my life again. I was able to be strong enough for my grandfather to express his sorrow &, helplessness of watching the love of his life slip away. They where very lucky to have 74 years together.
Dr. Peterson: I came to your lecture in Atlanta. I went to hear you and be a part of the event as well as hear complex ideas being discussed. But there was another big reason - I wanted to be there so I could applaud and be part of the standing ovations you received. Thank you all the help you have given me through your lectures, podcasts, IDW videos and TV interviews. Best regards, - Carl
Watching this I finally purchased the assessment and Self Authoring Suite. My husband and I are going to work on it at the same time. Looking forward to it.
Being willing to look into and withstand the darkest place by the illumination of your character and mind reveals the ancestral heroes and finally the source of all life...our Holy Father, God.
I completely enjoy all these talks, in particular the ones with left leaning journalists. Thank You Dr. Peterson! I’m using the tips and techniques you talk about to improve my life
He is the most interesting man of our times. I hope he looks after himself and the saying " the candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long" is not applicable with him. He has helped me get my life in order ( My room is cleaned )..... Worth more than gold.
Order - Tyranny - masculine Harmony - Chaos - feminine Order fortifies against Chaos Harmony resolves Tyranny Order is Tyranny made harmonious Harmony is Chaos made orderly The knight battles the dragon and recovers the maiden The beauty civilises the beast and unearths the prince Order and Harmony enables goodness Tyranny and Chaos creates misery (edited: replaced male with masculine and female with feminine)
incarceratedGeneticist harmony is an aspect of chaos as much as order is one to tyranny: they are not. they are different states, well to my mind. it seemed fitting on first glance it would look like this on a scale Tyranny Chaos
Harmony is just another variation of order, then. I'd replace it with progress. It's the way by which tyranny is reformed, but also starts the slippery slope towards chaos.
Stephanie Rising: I wish for you to rethink your comment in the context of JBP himself, his writings, and his videos. It's better to think we are all chosen by God, then to believe one person is the chosen one, very dangerous thought process.
I'm glad for JBP that he has the success he has today, especially considering all the insane people he had to deal with that were desperately doing everything they could to shut him down or make him look like a maniac. However I miss the good old days when he and his material weren't mainstream and only a few people that were genuinely looking for answers about life were following him. Nowadays there are so many stupid trolls on the comment sections of the videos of- and about him, that all pretend like they are the most brilliant philosophical masterminds of the entire history of mankind and that get all aggressive and insulting when someone slightly disagrees with anything they say.

WoW! Peterson has almost half the subs Rogan does ...and in 10% time it took Joe to reach the same digits, granted, a totally different era but, still. Keep it up JBP :)
I agree. I think that Joe has such a diversity of topics/guests, that while they aren't all for everybody, he's bound to have a little something for most.
I can't honestly see someone calling Rogan a Douche? He seems to genuinely want to find truth, but sometimes his opinions get in the way. You can't fault him for that, he's only human.
My husband and I have been on a journey since we first met to confront what we have in common which is what we believed to be a generational curse on all of our families combined. We discussed this idea on our first date 17 years ago in the form of a sense of two old souls who through a force that we did not understand have been preyed upon. Our job as a partnership was obvious from the very beginning. We started our work right away by falling deeply into love. We have so many examples of a spiritual warfare that has taken place around us as we raise our family with the common goal of breaking the chains and we have many stories of victories that we can be proud of that keeps us going.
I've been following you closely for a year or so now and although my room is still a work in progress, I started going to the gym, finally got a new job so I can leave the job I hate, and hopefully will have the money to move out. I think this is in no small part thanks to your lectures and how they changed my perceptions of my life and my place in the lives of those around me. Thanks a lot!
My dad died 17 years ago and I have had perpetual dreams and nightmares in regards to him. I have confronted him in dreams over and over again and many of them are quite terrifying and/or gruesome. The same thing happens with active imagination. Eventually his face will pop up and its the face of a corpse basically. I have also avoided a LOT in my life and it's been an ongoing struggle to confront regular, mundane existence and deal with my phobia's. I wonder to what degree these two things are connected given what JP said about rescuing our father from the belly of the whale and avoiding confrontation with life. I DO feel like I'm still a boy in many ways trying to become a man, and in the process I've found myself often times overwhelmed by chaos and instability mostly as a result of my own stupid actions or as a result of not having any real order in my life, or guidance, or discipline.
William Koscielniak wow that sounds unbelievably tough. You should try his programs (you can get them even cheaper/free by donating to patreon for one month then cancelling it). The only thing I can recommend is EMDR. It’s probably the best known and most effective treatment for traumatic memories/PTSD-like symptoms. Give it a try or at least research it. Other tips: Meditation Daily writing journal Exercise (rock climbing + martial arts are great) A therapist Travelling Hope this helps. I know u don’t know me, but feel free to message me or reply to this comment if u wanna talk. Good luck, Matthew 😊
Piper43078 that’s the biggest load of shit I’ve ever heard. Demons might be real, I can’t prove that they are not, but the fact that he is obviously distressed by losing his father doesn’t mean demons are involved. These kind of comments are so unhelpful and always founded on stupid thinking. Hope you can see past all that nonesense one day, and come to the light side of science.
Dirt, sounds like what happened to me. I got rid of it. there is a spiritual world. He is being harassed by one , pillls and psychologist will only make things worst
Agreed. I believe it is the best so far. Maybe because he is totally relaxed and knows that nobody here is going to try to ambush him with ridiculous statements?
I absolutely love how you narrated the book (12 rules), especially when you are reading the section about meaning and your emotional voice brings me to tears. I listed to the book three times while commuting to work and it gets me every time!
LOL Look @ the amount of hasbara trolls around you !!!! Can the hypocrisy be any more obvious??? Distract & diffuse as we quietly genocide the planet... Isn't it great !!??
Shreyas Misra I have never proposed nor advocated for "the creation of white homelands" nor have I ever advocated for any "racial" segregation. I practice reason, logos & humility & I have no time for racist ideations. Zionism is a political movement and a creation of the Rothchilds crime syndicate designed to give legitimacy to their criminal activities. Displacing the native Palestinian population is obviously a criminal and deplorable act - Jews & Palestinians lived quite happily together before the formation of Israel. A vast majority of people want to live in peace with each other & the "globalist imperialists" comprise maybe 0.000001% of the population, & I'm no globalist. We have all been fed an incredible amount of lies in order to divide & concur & this psychopathic "management" by the ruling elites needs to be exposed & addressed at all levels.
I do, appreciate your stenght, you are so uncommon. I pray god, your strength amazes you! Thanks, you did help me! We fight principalities unseen. My warfare has been many years. I am 64yrs.,I have 7 grands, 7 great grands. I was bat. clerk 1971. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!
This is infinite therapy. Just now I was working out and triggered into a neurotic, angry State of mind by my narcissistic mother. Just listening to him talk calmed me down and made me realize I've got a near infinite amount of therapy hours out of him. So thankful for this! My life was disgusting 8 months ago and it's unbelievably upward moving now! Thank you times infinity! ❤️
Gramma DRM ...horrifying isn't it ? Keep reading. I suggest you read it in digestible bites and allow regular hiatus for reflection...it's one hell of a read. I don't believe it's possible to spoil the ending...it isn't a fictional novel after all...but 'the depravity of Russian rulers' is the very depravity that all rulers are succeptable to by pure dint of being human...our own rulers could be this way if we don't stop them...not to mention that the rulers themselves were a small number. The vast majority of barbarism was enacted by millions of ordinary people. Solzenitzin's conclusion was that terrible situations like what happened in C20 Russia occur when 'everybody lies, all the time, about everything' . Solzenitzin spent his time in the gulag attempting to pin point and understand where he, personally was responsible for the tyranny...and by extension each individual who failed to be truthful. 'Deny the evidence of your own eyes and ears' This was the party's final command. George Orwell.
I like to walk on the streets and think of Jordan Peterson with anticipation for his upcoming talk in NYC. It puts me into trance, and I'm floating and getting a bit dizzy and silly )) can't wait! Xx
Around 51:20, dressing is discussed and how we ought to act out what we want to become. This is something I take very seriously. I've always struggled with confidence and social issues, have had a hard time having people take me seriously. Admittedly, I still struggle a bit. But, my life started changing when I--no joke--started curling my eyelashes (obviously I'm a lady). It started something. I took an honest look at myself and started dressing in a more sophisticated and studied way. It has transformed how people interact with me, particularly strangers and those I meet for the first time. I also stand quite straight. I dabbled in modeling and became my act. I get treated like a proper lady by strangers, and it seems natural for people to respond to me politely (it might help that I'm quiet). People I'm with note this when I have my "public face" on. I've helped my husband in this area, too. I think it's sad that so many consider dressing well to be uncomfortable, generally unpleasant and that we've mostly given up on it. You don't have to wear a suit or heels every day, but take some care in the details. I recommend that ladies try things like a smooth bun rather than a sloppy topknot with a tee, gentlemen can wear many button up shirts with denim. You're likely to experience something positive from these changes. I strongly believe that everyone has the potential to look somewhat attractive with a little effort.
Jordan, you have changed myself and my wife and enhanced our thinking enormously. PLEASE TAKE A BREAK. I have watched you for several years. There is no urgency (assuming you are not desperate for money, which I assume you are not). There is NO NEED TO PUSH THIS AT THIS RATE. What you have already done will be remembered and be of huge significance for years to come. Please take care of yourself and have a rest. Sincerely, LK. REST! PLEASE!

The feminine and masculine or chaos and petrification
What's the right amount of femininity? It can not be femininity alone, it needs some masculinity to be harmonious, otherwise it is the destroying power of the dark Cali the indian goddess and wife of Shiva. The same with masculinity, both extremes have to surf somewhere in between to find a healthy balance, femininity more on this, masculinity more on the other side of the middle. The more extreme a feminine or a masculine system, the more extreme ought to be the opposite answer, an unwise procedure only unavoidable when things got wrong drastically.
Therefore I think it is not wise to use chaos as the opposite of order, since chaos has a much more negative flavor than order. Chaos and petrification would be more correct.
Feminine Masculine
chaos petrification
disorder order
unfixed fixed
creative concrete
softness structure
caring supportive
this is a patreon q&a that he does for money, what u talking about free?
Justin Mackadocious Did you have to pay for this video? No, so it's still free for all of us! Those who pay him on Patreon do so voluntarily and they only had the advantage of being able to pose the questions.
No, its not free. It costs you your time and your critical thinking my guy.
Dr. Peterson, your spirit animal would definitely be the mongoose. It is not intimidating to look at but is actually very intelligent, clever, fierce, quick-witted and stands its ground when attacked. Oh, and it can kill snakes.
Joe Bizzle, King Kamehameha introduced the mongoos to Hawaii to rid the island of all the snakes, it worked 👍
Wow that's pretty cool bro
Yep. The mongoose. I can't unsee JBP as a mongoose now. With lobster claws.
His spirit animal is Kermit
Kushagra Shukla Kermit? What sort of animal is that? I was thinking more about a border collie, full of intelligence, used to protect and guide the flock to the right path, slow to anger but dosen't lack teeth
Cant tell you how much I love this man.....trying to get my 14 year old son to check out the lectures. What every young person needs is to hear is this man's message.
Janice Lehane, there are some animated versions of him speaking on UA-cam, which might be interesting to him 😊
many thanks x
I have been slowly Introducing his work to my 14 year old daughter. It is going ok! Cheers!
Cary s can I ask how you started? Could do with a few tips on how you approached the whole Peterson thing x
This is a great, not too intense, motivational video for students, which might be a good starting point:
ua-cam.com/video/QObAkF1_6CE/v-deo.html
Dr Peterson, I cannot thank you enough for your insight and direction. You are enriching our world. We understand what you say which means we already know this but we don't hear it or respect ourselves enough to believe it alone. Plus we don't have the eloquence or research that you do. So thanks for saying what we already know deep down in a knowledgeable, eloquent, well thought out way so we believe in ourselves. Thank you Sir.
A voice of sanity in a crazy world. Thank you.
We're extremely fortunate our generation has a teacher and leader like you in our time. You're a wise voice of reason. God bless you Jordan, we love you.
I regret to not speak enough english to understand you how you deserve Sir! I have learned a lot with you. Thanks
Bien hecho Héctor. Jordan peterson es un grande. Dios contigo

Pushing myself through Nursing school. You've been a real inspiration for me to take accountability for my own actions
Thank you so much Professor Jordan Peterson. You stand strong, articulate concisely & truthfully within whatever subject you are speaking to. The world would be a better place with more people such as you. Sincerely.
Thank you Dr. Peterson. I am reading your book and working on the Self-Authoring program. I have watched most of your interviews on UA-cam as well. I think your book is one of the best books I've ever read and have had pause several times where I had to take time to cry. A very meaningful book for me personally. You have helped me more than I can express. I am 62 years old and find that I am finally starting to think clearer and I have hope now. Thank you.
I remember not trusting intellectuals and thinking nearly all professors were, like media, indoctrinators. Then came JP. Now through him, I've discovered many striving to fight for the values I hold dear. Thank you Dr. Peterson for restoring my faith in mankind.
Mr. Peterson, I hope there is a chance you will read this comment because this is information I really want you to know. First, thank you for bringing commonsense and intelligence to the forefront of the conversation for ways to live a good life. Second, I watch almost everything you publish online including interviews and most people are so uncivil. They machine gun questions, make stupid assumptions, don’t allow you to answer, and then say you are prickly. Third, there are a lot of people that seem to be jealous of your success, you probably won’t say it but I will. And that is a factor in the venom some interviewers throw your way. Lastly, I am a middle aged black woman and I love you. So many people try to pigeon hole you to appealing to young, white, racist men. And that is just not true!
adaku75 Well said, from a middle-aged white English male. I doubt, and fervently hope that we are all much less divided than the media pushes at us. Best wishes to you 🙂
Yes indeed! Sort on !
Hey there middle aged black south african loving it ... got my 17 yr old son hooked too .... we discuss our roles and behaviour on a daily basis I/we are very very fortunate.....
adaku75 isn’t he fabulous
Be my wife hahah
What an immense pleasure! Thanks Dr. Peterson! Glad to see lots of healthy color in your face & very happy to hear of all the upcoming releases & events. God bless
Great session. Happy to hear that the online university is progressing ahead of schedule. Proud that my Patreon investments are helping to fund that noble goal.
Thank you so much for helping Peterson!
Jordan Peterson, one of the most pure and intellectually common sensed mind on the planet. So graeful for this youtube channel.
Dr. Peterson, I am amazed at the strength with which you keep your eye on the truth. I've seen you in some tight spots, and I mean at a deep level that may not be obvious, and I so admire the great quality and deep honesty of your struggle at such times. I hope you continue this forever. You have helped me so much.
Dear MR Peterson, Words cannot describe the respect and awe in which I hold a man who can hold such an informed, detailed and articulate view of so many complex and challenging questions. I often find your responses resonate with my own deepest and often unvoiced thoughts and thinking, but more often than not I am staggered by the clarity and simplicity of your insights, NOT that they are simple, far from it, but in the hearing of your discussions there is such a profound honest insight and it fits so easily with so much of what I have learnt and experienced over my own life!! Perhaps easy to say as I deeply believe in apparently almost everything you believe in. I could drone on for hours, I hope and trust you have many grateful responses, so I will just say THANK YOU. I appreciate your time to delve into these issues as I have so little time to work through these on my own!! Thank You, for making my life richer, fuller and more deeply integrated, therefore satisfying!! THANK YOU!!
Might I humbly suggest, you might consider reading or listening to Fr Richard Rohr??
So depressing and shocking to see how main line journalists have been straight out attacking this good man!
But also illuminating!
This man gave me a lifetime of educational content to watch and read from his videos and books to recommended reading. Im 38 and I’ve been learning more about things in the last year since listening to him than I did my whole life. Thx bro
The positive side of chaos is growth.
The feminine dichotomy is chaos and growth; the masculine is tyranny and order. Too much order begets tyranny, and undirected growth begets chaos.The proper instantiation of order tames chaos into a fruitful garden.
The pruning of fruit trees is an excellent example of this, as the chaotic growth of many branches are trimmed to direct the flow of nutrients to areas of importance, but too much pruning can kill the tree.
Putrid_Excrescence Thank you. Chaos isn’t “bad”, it’s a natural process. Out of tyranny comes chaos, then comes growth, then stabilization, then order, then tyranny, etc. etc.
Again, thank you Dr. Peterson. Studying and learning a little bit everday and negotiating obstacles of illness, financial decisions, work. So many areas in my life and my husband and I are getting through it all with your suggestions and the help of friends and family. God bless you, Tammy and you dear children.
Thank you, (Internet) Dad. ♥ Re: Qs 2 & 3 - I am an introverted and a highly agreeable woman who told the truth in work today after watching this during my morning commute.
Jordan please that Good care of yourself, your are a great gift to the World!! We need you for a very long time!!
Some really profound and authentic insights. I heard your BBC Hardtalk interview and quite agree with your perception of the premeditated agenda of the BBC. Thanks for all you are doing. It is profoundly important.
Mr. Jordan Peterson is a gift from Heaven, enlightening the world to the changes that may come, so we can avoid slipping down the path of socialism/communism. Very important ideological piece toward worldwide tranquility. Free speech in a freedom loving world is the only hope to thwart the advance of socialism/communism that have killed millions in not so distant past. Kudos to you Sir Peterson.
Thank you so much Jordan Peterson for all your work, I don't feel like such a stranger in the world anymore, though I have a lot of work to do on myself.
Thank you Jordan. The part about finding your father when you face the darkness is one of the most profound things I have learned from you.
Only Jordan would characterize feelings of frustration and righteous indignation with hacktivist 'journalists' trying to tear him down as "internal corruption on my part". A wonderful display of humility. Love this guy!
"Life is an adventure. And I think the greatest adventure you can possibly have is the one that you find if you look for the truth.". THANK YOU Dr Peterson. I wish I'd found you 20 years ago.

You're doing amazing things for the world. The good that you have done will live on long after you. Thank you, Jordan Peterson.
That BBC Hardtalk interview was another death blow to MSM.
Dr. Peterson, I couldn't be more pleased to see you delivering your lectures in many places over the globe. It seems to me that is the best use of your hard gained wisdom and exceptional speaking talent is spreading the seeds of sanity over the most area. Hopefully, many powerful plants will take deep roots and spread. Thank you-Thank you-Thank you! My Patreon contribution, although only what I can afford for now will continue for the indefinite future. Anyone reading this.... contribute money, WHATEVER you can afford. Since we are not Dr. Peterson, it's probably the very best and most positive thing we can do to help effect change!
Mr Petersen, In the unlikely event that you read this comment, I would like to thank you for your work. I have recently completed your book, "12 Rules For Life", and thoroughly enjoyed its depth, sense of meaning and the call to a higher moral standard and overall better self. :)
Jordan, my words can't express the value of your thoughts, concepts and ideas. THANK YOU!
Seems like the proper balanced feminine is something like creativity. Dominance, Order, Creativity, Chaos. As an artist, I have to let my ordering mind lesson in order to even make the first mark on the canvas.
Wisdom is like seeing the whole (chaos) of the world and creatively slotting it into the known.
“Seeing the whole” is perhaps closer. The masculine forges and fine tunes the specific while the properly balanced feminine sees how the specific fits into the whole.
Ah! It’s like what he says about interviews: listening primarily and thinking secondarily.
Jordan Peterson is the father I never had, he has made such an impact in my life, made me a better person and a more insightful mother. My children thank you!
It is both incredible and sad that I get more wisdom and life advise from Peterson than my own father. Keep up the good work JBP, you are changing lives for the better.
So you are comparing your father to one of the greatest thinkers/teachers of our time and finding your father comes up short ? Sad indeed.
Annie Simon no, not exactly... More that a decent father and a decent man should be able to give good life advise to their children. It just makes me slightly sad that so many people need to get the advise from JBP due to the huge void so many men have in their lives. My father incidentally was an extremely successful Surgeon and inventor of medical tools in his later life. But an extremely poor role model for his many children.
it doesnt seem incredible or sad, inspirations are best found from outside and brought in to the family
Fathers are not taught or trained to be fathers, they do not spend years learning the skills needed. ;-)
Wow...no words. The more I listen to you, the more I figure out how to face my dysfunctional childhood. The desire strive to be not just good or ok as a result of my past, but to be all I could be...man, I wish I could tell you my story and how far I have come.
Thank you for helping encourage me to face the abyss within me and deal with the subconscious damage from abuse. I want to be free and I am taking what you speak, with my Bible and Christianity to face it and work it out.
Thank you, Sir. I cant wait for your next book.
Just occurred to me, JBP has been rescued from the belly of the whale by his daughter Mikhaila.
She struggled immensely when growing up with all sorts of health problems. Through that adversity she discovered how important diet is to her health and wellbeing.
She then used that knowledge to help JBP get out of the depression and health issues he was dealing with and now they’re both doing fantastic.
Not so good for the cows though...
The cows were the sacrifices to the greater good.
Wow, that’s a good one.
Today is the first day of being everything I can be. Thank you Dr for continuing to show people their potential and not backing down. A modern day hero!
Thanks second father
Lemons & Salt better get a bucket then
B l e i d s t e r he's the all father.
Haha that's how it feels sometimes huh lol?
Having grown without a father, this reminds me and proofs how important is a male figure in your life. I completely agree with you
Peterson can be fairly described as the distillation of the best of everyone's father.
I could say so much about how I have transformed me and my life since Ive found you, your videos, book and self authoring program .... but for now I want to sincerely say THANK YOU.
Please come to Western Australia in February when you tour Australia! You only covered the eastern states this year, which is pretty common.
Thank You Mr. Peterson for all you are doing for humanity. I wish you and your family the best. I am listening and sharing all of your lectures and really enjoying your biblical series. I have to put Archipelago down every other night or so. I had no idea how people can be so despicable-eventhough I served 17yrs in law enforcement. I am also watching the "walk away" vids. There is hope!😃
You are amazing! And i am so glad i stumbled upon your material. It helps me allot. And I start to believe your popularity is just at the beginning stages. good luck for the future!
Who watched all available Q&As of Jordan and agrees that this is one of the best ones?
Dear Professor....without any disrespect to your father, I remember you mentioned he sometimes tells you to "talk too much". I vehemently disagree!!!! In fact, I cannot get enough of your enlightening, aw-inspiring, and aha-moment giving talks....they are priceless in these trying times.
Thank you so much Dr. Peterson, because of your lectures I've been able to help my grandfather deal with my grandma's final stage Alzheimer's. They saved my life when I was a child, I can't express how grateful I am to have been able to say goodbye to her and thank her for saving my life again. I was able to be strong enough for my grandfather to express his sorrow &, helplessness of watching the love of his life slip away. They where very lucky to have 74 years together.
This guy is a Gift to Humanity.
Dr. Peterson:
I came to your lecture in Atlanta. I went to hear you and be a part of the event as well as hear complex ideas being discussed. But there was another big reason - I wanted to be there so I could applaud and be part of the standing ovations you received. Thank you all the help you have given me through your lectures, podcasts, IDW videos and TV interviews.
Best regards,
- Carl
Watching this I finally purchased the assessment and Self Authoring Suite. My husband and I are going to work on it at the same time. Looking forward to it.
You have helped many people. Those who have ears will hear, those who lack wisdom will not be able to understand.
Being willing to look into and withstand the darkest place by the illumination of your character and mind reveals the ancestral heroes and finally the source of all life...our Holy Father, God.
Thank you Dr. Peterson! Your message is a flashlight to illuminate the path to a better life.
This is excellent. I just started Gulag A. And I believe you may have made it easier to grasp the premise / message.
I'm about to start reading it!
Ивона awesome!!
me too
It's a tough read, I would suggest going the audio book version. Still hard to get through...
zemeon2 hahah I heard ‘C’ is the most torturous...
I completely enjoy all these talks, in particular the ones with left leaning journalists. Thank You Dr. Peterson! I’m using the tips and techniques you talk about to improve my life
Thank you for all you do Dr Peterson.
Thanks for your public work and bless you and your family sir. Great discussion.
My room's fluctuating from messy to clean every few days which is an improvement since it used to always be messy XD
With you there.
Yes underneath the stairs... jks. Yeah unfortunately I have bills to pay too.
Mine used to always be clean.. clinically clean, these days.. I enjoy, just a tiny bit of disorder
(Excuse for not hoovering up over the past 2 days)
He is the most interesting man of our times. I hope he looks after himself and the saying " the candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long" is not applicable with him. He has helped me get my life in order ( My room is cleaned ).....
Worth more than gold.
Get enough rest. We need you.
Thank you so much Dr. Peterson. I admire you SO much.
Huge fan...going to see you in September....yay
Vicky Devine which show?
Dr. Peterson, it took me all day but I believe the answer to the question referring to order, tyranny, and chaos is freedom.
Grease Dog Or maybe....it's Desire....or Intent
Order - Tyranny - masculine
Harmony - Chaos - feminine
Order fortifies against Chaos
Harmony resolves Tyranny
Order is Tyranny made harmonious
Harmony is Chaos made orderly
The knight battles the dragon and recovers the maiden
The beauty civilises the beast and unearths the prince
Order and Harmony enables goodness
Tyranny and Chaos creates misery
(edited: replaced male with masculine and female with feminine)
idk about harmony being an aspect of chaos. seems pretty ordered to me.
I think thats fitting.
incarceratedGeneticist
harmony is an aspect of chaos as much as order is one to tyranny: they are not. they are different states, well to my mind. it seemed fitting on first glance
it would look like this on a scale
Tyranny Chaos
stahp--muh "mysogynist peterson says chaos is feminine" narrative...
Harmony is just another variation of order, then. I'd replace it with progress. It's the way by which tyranny is reformed, but also starts the slippery slope towards chaos.
Dr. Peterson,
You are looking exceptionally healthy. It's great to see you doing so well. Stay strong, my good lobster.
I am certain God has selected you to educate and guide humanity. Thank you for what you do.
sean n ........your wrong......I am GOD , and I'm working through the internet. I have not gave Peterson these gifts.....
Stephanie Rising: I wish for you to rethink your comment in the context of JBP himself, his writings, and his videos. It's better to think we are all chosen by God, then to believe one person is the chosen one, very dangerous thought process.
No sorry, it wasn't me, I didn't select him at all......yours faithfully. GOD.
Which God?
God is a fictional character.
"Remember that you owe yourself as much as you owe other people. You have to take care of yourself like you take care of other people."
I'm glad for JBP that he has the success he has today, especially considering all the insane people he had to deal with that were desperately doing everything they could to shut him down or make him look like a maniac. However I miss the good old days when he and his material weren't mainstream and only a few people that were genuinely looking for answers about life were following him. Nowadays there are so many stupid trolls on the comment sections of the videos of- and about him, that all pretend like they are the most brilliant philosophical masterminds of the entire history of mankind and that get all aggressive and insulting when someone slightly disagrees with anything they say.
We all hope you're doing well Dr. Peterson. God Bless You & Your family.

THANKS!!
Thank you 😊
That's alot of research there
Jordan Peterson! I love you. Your book changed my life! please continue making content!
"Philosophy studies the fundamental nature of existence, of man, and of man’s relationship to existence. As against the special sciences, which deal only with particular aspects, philosophy deals with those aspects of the universe which pertain to everything that exists. In the realm of cognition, the special sciences are the trees, but philosophy is the soil which makes the forest possible." Ayn Rand, Philosophy: Who Needs It, 2
Please don’t stop, for as long as you’re able to monster. You mean the world to many people like me.
Come to the UAE 🇦🇪 please.....you have a lot of people who admire you from the Middle East and we really want to have a chance to meet you in person and thank you
Yes
Keep it up!! You are really a gift to all of us. Thank you for your time.
WoW! Peterson has almost half the subs Rogan does ...and in 10% time it took Joe to reach the same digits, granted, a totally different era but, still. Keep it up JBP :)
Yeah well no wonder, Joe Rogan is a douche.
I agree. I think that Joe has such a diversity of topics/guests, that while they aren't all for everybody, he's bound to have a little something for most.
I can't honestly see someone calling Rogan a Douche? He seems to genuinely want to find truth, but sometimes his opinions get in the way. You can't fault him for that, he's only human.
My husband and I have been on a journey since we first met to confront what we have in common which is what we believed to be a generational curse on all of our families combined. We discussed this idea on our first date 17 years ago in the form of a sense of two old souls who through a force that we did not understand have been preyed upon. Our job as a partnership was obvious from the very beginning. We started our work right away by falling deeply into love. We have so many examples of a spiritual warfare that has taken place around us as we raise our family with the common goal of breaking the chains and we have many stories of victories that we can be proud of that keeps us going.
Me: yeah i should sleep soon
*Sees this in my sub box*
Me: nvm
NASA future Jordan would have you go to sleep
😂😂😂😂
I've been following you closely for a year or so now and although my room is still a work in progress, I started going to the gym, finally got a new job so I can leave the job I hate, and hopefully will have the money to move out. I think this is in no small part thanks to your lectures and how they changed my perceptions of my life and my place in the lives of those around me. Thanks a lot!
Jordan Betason strikes again. Soooo insightful. Thanks, son.
In my opinion this guy is the most influential person nowadays...nothing beats honesty and truth and he got them !!!
most profound famous academic since CS Lewis
My dad died 17 years ago and I have had perpetual dreams and nightmares in regards to him. I have confronted him in dreams over and over again and many of them are quite terrifying and/or gruesome. The same thing happens with active imagination. Eventually his face will pop up and its the face of a corpse basically. I have also avoided a LOT in my life and it's been an ongoing struggle to confront regular, mundane existence and deal with my phobia's. I wonder to what degree these two things are connected given what JP said about rescuing our father from the belly of the whale and avoiding confrontation with life. I DO feel like I'm still a boy in many ways trying to become a man, and in the process I've found myself often times overwhelmed by chaos and instability mostly as a result of my own stupid actions or as a result of not having any real order in my life, or guidance, or discipline.
William Koscielniak wow that sounds unbelievably tough. You should try his programs (you can get them even cheaper/free by donating to patreon for one month then cancelling it).
The only thing I can recommend is EMDR. It’s probably the best known and most effective treatment for traumatic memories/PTSD-like symptoms. Give it a try or at least research it.
Other tips:
Meditation
Daily writing journal
Exercise (rock climbing + martial arts are great)
A therapist
Travelling
Hope this helps. I know u don’t know me, but feel free to message me or reply to this comment if u wanna talk.
Good luck,

Demons are real. Getting rid of them out of your life is easy. Sounds like to me you are being teased by a demon.
Avoid psychologist get in touch with God.
Piper43078 that’s the biggest load of shit I’ve ever heard. Demons might be real, I can’t prove that they are not, but the fact that he is obviously distressed by losing his father doesn’t mean demons are involved. These kind of comments are so unhelpful and always founded on stupid thinking. Hope you can see past all that nonesense one day, and come to the light side of science.
Dirt, sounds like what happened to me. I got rid of it. there is a spiritual world. He is being harassed by one , pillls and psychologist will only make things worst
I think this Q&A might be one of the most valueable Q&A's so far. Thank you.
Agreed. I believe it is the best so far. Maybe because he is totally relaxed and knows that nobody here is going to try to ambush him with ridiculous statements?
Greetings from Chilean Patagonia
I absolutely love how you narrated the book (12 rules), especially when you are reading the section about meaning and your emotional voice brings me to tears. I listed to the book three times while commuting to work and it gets me every time!
Hi Jordan,
love what you do.
from Israel.
@Khaled Ahh Yes Jordan loves the israeli occupation of Palestine... he's such a smart & great guy isn't he ? ;-)
Yes he is helping prevent any form of white collectivism in the face of their demographic eradication. Isnt it great?!
LOL Look @ the amount of hasbara trolls around you !!!! Can the hypocrisy be any more obvious??? Distract & diffuse as we quietly genocide the planet... Isn't it great !!??
Khaled Palestine doesn't exist anymore, Jesus Christ, th see ignorant morons are the bane of my existence
Shreyas Misra I have never proposed nor advocated for "the creation of white homelands" nor have I ever advocated for any "racial" segregation. I practice reason, logos & humility & I have no time for racist ideations.
Zionism is a political movement and a creation of the Rothchilds crime syndicate designed to give legitimacy to their criminal activities.
Displacing the native Palestinian population is obviously a criminal and deplorable act - Jews & Palestinians lived quite happily together before the formation of Israel.
A vast majority of people want to live in peace with each other & the "globalist imperialists" comprise maybe 0.000001% of the population, & I'm no globalist.
We have all been fed an incredible amount of lies in order to divide & concur & this psychopathic "management" by the ruling elites needs to be exposed & addressed at all levels.
I do, appreciate your stenght, you are so uncommon. I pray god, your strength amazes you! Thanks, you did help me! We fight principalities unseen. My warfare has been many years. I am 64yrs.,I have 7 grands, 7 great grands. I was bat. clerk 1971. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!

This is infinite therapy. Just now I was working out and triggered into a neurotic, angry State of mind by my narcissistic mother. Just listening to him talk calmed me down and made me realize I've got a near infinite amount of therapy hours out of him. So thankful for this! My life was disgusting 8 months ago and it's unbelievably upward moving now! Thank you times infinity! ❤️
you got this man!
Really enjoy your bible series and all of your interactions, I'm reading Gulag Archipelgo. Wow the depravity of Russian Rulers! Scary as hell!!
Gramma DRM ...horrifying isn't it ? Keep reading. I suggest you read it in digestible bites and allow regular hiatus for reflection...it's one hell of a read.
I don't believe it's possible to spoil the ending...it isn't a fictional novel after all...but 'the depravity of Russian rulers' is the very depravity that all rulers are succeptable to by pure dint of being human...our own rulers could be this way if we don't stop them...not to mention that the rulers themselves were a small number. The vast majority of barbarism was enacted by millions of ordinary people.
Solzenitzin's conclusion was that terrible situations like what happened in C20 Russia occur when 'everybody lies, all the time, about everything' .
Solzenitzin spent his time in the gulag attempting to pin point and understand where he, personally was responsible for the tyranny...and by extension each individual who failed to be truthful.
'Deny the evidence of your own eyes and ears' This was the party's final command.
George Orwell.
For anyone who hasn't read the Gulag Archipelago yet, I recommend reading Ordinary Men first.
I like to walk on the streets and think of Jordan Peterson with anticipation for his upcoming talk in NYC. It puts me into trance, and I'm floating and getting a bit dizzy and silly )) can't wait! Xx
Great session Professor
Around 51:20, dressing is discussed and how we ought to act out what we want to become. This is something I take very seriously. I've always struggled with confidence and social issues, have had a hard time having people take me seriously. Admittedly, I still struggle a bit. But, my life started changing when I--no joke--started curling my eyelashes (obviously I'm a lady). It started something. I took an honest look at myself and started dressing in a more sophisticated and studied way. It has transformed how people interact with me, particularly strangers and those I meet for the first time. I also stand quite straight. I dabbled in modeling and became my act. I get treated like a proper lady by strangers, and it seems natural for people to respond to me politely (it might help that I'm quiet). People I'm with note this when I have my "public face" on. I've helped my husband in this area, too. I think it's sad that so many consider dressing well to be uncomfortable, generally unpleasant and that we've mostly given up on it. You don't have to wear a suit or heels every day, but take some care in the details. I recommend that ladies try things like a smooth bun rather than a sloppy topknot with a tee, gentlemen can wear many button up shirts with denim. You're likely to experience something positive from these changes. I strongly believe that everyone has the potential to look somewhat attractive with a little effort.

💜🙏 thank you.
Jordan, you have changed myself and my wife and enhanced our thinking enormously. PLEASE TAKE A BREAK. I have watched you for several years. There is no urgency (assuming you are not desperate for money, which I assume you are not). There is NO NEED TO PUSH THIS AT THIS RATE. What you have already done will be remembered and be of huge significance for years to come. Please take care of yourself and have a rest. Sincerely, LK. REST! PLEASE!
