2017 Maps of Meaning 12: Final: The Divinity of the Individual
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 тра 2017
- In this, the final Maps of Meaning lecture for 2017, I review the year and its offerings: What is a belief system? Why are people so inclined to engage in conflict to protect their belief systems?
It's partly because our belief systems are not only systems of belief, but structures that serve to render everyone who participates in that belief and its dramatization and acting out in the world predictable, trustworthy and cooperative (even when competing).
Is there a hierarchy of rank or value among belief systems, or are they merely arbitrary?
What is the relationship between descriptions of the objective world and moral guidelines? How do you determine how to conduct yourself in the world? What should you do (and is that question even genuine -- or answerable?)
What inbuilt structures do you bring into the world, as a consequence of biological evolution, that help you orient yourself in life, in the face of its overwhelming complexity? What is the relationship between the games that children learn to play when becoming socialized and the cultural structures that guide us in broader society? How is all this related to the underlying symbolic structures (religious structures) that sit at the base of our societies and belief structures?

I don't always watch 35 hours of lectures on youtube but when I do it's Jordan Peterson
95TurboSol and it's only Dr. Peterson.lol
Lol. Read my mind.
+JaredCrabb1
Was about to say :D
Justin Beall
Ha, it probably took me 40 hours (turbovovlo), I had to stop to cry a couple times. call me a pussy, I dare ya
I'm here. I'm on the other side. I started watching Peterson clips, then I read 12 rules for life, then I watched the entire 2017 personality course, then I read 12 rules for life again, then I watched the biblical lectures, now I've just wrapped up the Maps of Meaning lectures. I've also watched all three of his interviews with Joe Rogan. I'm 22. I've never been this invested in a pursuit in my life, I've never felt this much meaning in my life.
I did all that in the span of a year -- I started with the clips in November of 2018.
I'm a completely different person from who I was a year ago. Just staying the truth made a massive change. Understanding the human condition and the reasons behind individual sovereignty, that gave so much positive meaning to my life. I used to suffer from bad anxiety and horrible social anxiety, both of those are mostly gone now. They still exist within me, and those shadows haven't gotten weaker -- it's me who got stronger. Strong enough to conquer, overcome, fight. To be my own damn hero.
I also got my first intimate relationship after two years of solitude, and the first relationship ever where I'm completely honest with a person and feel zero guilt around them. For the first time, I don't feel a hint of inadequacy; she knows my flaws. I know hers, we make each other better. I pay attention to who she is and who I am around her, that's helping me grow so much. Helping us both grow. I'm becoming a catalyst for positive change in people around me.
I also got what I can very well consider my first job ever. Definitely my first professional opportunity in the field I want to dedicate my life to. And I feel it deep in my bones that if I had lied just once; if I had cheated just once throughout my entire interaction with my future boss, he would have never given me this chance. I wasn't someone I would want to hire a year ago, but I am now.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson. Truly. For all your work, for all you've done. I'll continue to learn. I'm reading 12 rules for life for a third time now, I don't think I'll finish it this time. I feel its time for a break, to let ideas stew, incubate, develop. Then I'm thinking of tackling Campbell or Dostoevsky. But this whole journey started thanks to you. I still have to carry my own cross, but now at least I have a map to help me in my journey. That makes all the difference.
you have summarized everything I wish I could in my near future. I am heavily considering moving from the lectures to the books after watching the biblical series
Don't stop there. Repent of your sins and believe in Jesus. He has taken the sins of the world on Him and promises pardon from the wrath of God to all who believe in Him. "The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus" Romans 6:23
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but forfeit his soul?" - Jesus Christ
Don't become a better person and still die in your sins.
Congratulations Young One, and thank you for taking the time you deserved to become the best man you can be in this life! I look forward to our future change makers and preservers of our species, the earth all its animals, and wonders preserved in your strength to be present! Happy New You Birthday!
My man!
I want to know you! You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing that story. It’s beautiful.
I’m a 25-year-old girl and I spent the last 10 years of my life in a deep, deep depressive episode. The end of this lecture series made me burst into tears. Thank you Dr. Peterson! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me that life really is worth being here for. It really is. Thank you so much, sir, thank you.
Sequins \m/ \m/
So glad to know that you managed to pull through & came out the other side of your pain ! :):):)
I've been there, I know exactly what you mean.
Stay strong, there is a light at the top of the abyss!
29 Year old, was 26 when I learned about this guy. There are so many times I have been talking to people about this stuff and just burst into tears seeing how different my life is since following this guy.
I don't advertise to the world what I am doing, I kinda keep to myself. Talking about it still makes me emotional. Man what a wreck I was.
Point I am trying to make is that there is definitely some truth in what he is saying. I have undergone a self transformation, started working out, started caring for my wife more, changed careers, and I am on my way to starting my own business. I am a completely different person. It is crazy to see my life drastically changed since taking more responsibility and how much better I feel.
Don't stop there. Repent of your sins and believe in Jesus. He has taken the sins of the world on Him and promises pardon from the wrath of God to all who believe in Him. "The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus" Romans 6:23
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but forfeit his soul?" - Jesus Christ
Don't become a better person and still die in your sins.
The man's a force of nature.. Working as a professor, and being at the top 0.1 percent of the best minds and talkers out there; doing talks all over the place; and making his content available for all of us who can't hear him speak in person for one way or another. Does this guy even rest?
And I know a "thank you" is not enough to express my gratitude and respect, but still: thank you Jordan B. Peterson.
may I tag along in expressing my gratitude to JBP?
Well pardon me for being born growing up in a backwater third world country, obviously my arbitrary declaration of admiration and respect for this guy being one of the top 700000 minds in the world is not backed up by science and research. (sarcasm)
AND THAT'S THAT.
He's very smart on any level of analysis, AND THAT'S NO JOKE!
For whatever reason, I can't see the latest reply in the thread but I saw it in the notification. And yes, we sure are in agreement with what you said, and that is why I'm here watching this video and others like it: to learn,and not to troll.
khaii13 top 0.1% is 1 in 7,000,000 isnt it? I think that's probably not too far off. the guy is a beast.
Couldn't have written a better lecture myself.
Clean your room, Shakespeare!
dude lets smoke cocaine at my house. I know you're down Bill, we found your pipe
Peterson thinks he can trick men into taking responsibility to save humanity for the sake of Civilization.
God is the Why! Everything else is Vanity.
Without God Civilization can go to Hell!
Men YOU have no responsibility to save America. Just kick back and ride the wave and go with the Flow. Don't try to be heroes in a world where you are enslaved.
Let Feminism save itself! Men build your own arc for yourself and have fun rejecting all the women trying to jump in once the Flood comes.
@@buddyblack1659 have fun after the flood with no women in it!
@@buddyblack1659 so then, are u waiting for somebody on a flying horse or ufo to take you somewhere else? or to transform the world with some magic words?
thank you for your sample of knowledge..
“The answer to the problem of humanity is the integrity of the individual”
Words cannot describe how beautiful of a statement this is.
Amen…
I only became aware of Jordan B Peterson a couple of weeks ago. I've learned more in that time than in my entire 40 years before watching his lectures. He articulates his ideas in a way everyone can relate. He gives me hope that everything's not lost.
true
Thank god for the crazy SJWs introducing a lot of us to him, because that's how I got here. This man's knowledge is astounding, and his ways with articulating it are unsurpassed by any teacher I've experienced this far.
The Family Virtue Signal this stuff is not complex..... that's one of the great things about it.
DoctorCrankyFlaps, I love your username, and you wrote exactly what I am thinking, roughly speaking
Me too! October 25th 2018 Am 74 on October 31st I have waited a long time. Sonya
Dr. Peterson, I hope you are not annoyed by the memes. We do it because we really enjoy what you do and respect you highly. These memes are how we convey reverence.
He isn't annoyed. This is what he wrote on another vid ("A Left-wing case for free speech"): "I think the memes are a good thing, overall. It seems to me that they are both satiric and done with affection. So it's good that some jokes and teasing exist to lighten the discussions." :-)
Thank's for sorting that out for us
Dr. Peterson, I was reflecting recently on your remarkably ability to not being affected by your sudden popularity and the huge support around you. Is this one of the consequences of speaking the truth?
Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and changing my life along with that of many others.
Avs Sai Babu i watched JP and jocko wilink on joe rogan podcast and i must say they are talking about same story, "chaos and order" but ofcourse one lecture of JP is equal to like 5 jocko's podcast! density of information is too high!😅
Would love to see that!
And thus, the sorting comes to its conclusion. Great job cleaning your rooms everyone.
Cleaning your room is an eternal process. Our rooms will never be fully cleaned, and our selves will never be fully sorted. We must continue to clean and sort!
while(alive) {
sort();
cleanRoom();
}
Yes. This is only the end of the first chapter in the sorting process. We must now move on to the next one.
Cr4y7 did you just assume Matt 2.0's language? You bigot!
Haskell:
sort = cleanRoom >> sort
Clean my room...I'm still cleaning my closet :(
Its been a wild ride so far. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
50 years of wisdom in that last hour. Just wow
I rarely comment any material on the internet if ever, several times in my lifetime, probably. And now I just couldn't leave this integral piece of mere brilliance as is. I've gone through the course in 5 days, simultaneously reading half of the "12 rules..." and this was one of the deepest, transformative and engaging learning experiences I've had. I'm profoundly grateful to Dr. Peterson for him living his life in a most meaningful possible manner, his integrity inspires and brings back a faith in humanity.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
"The answer to the problem of humanity is the integrity of the individual."
Thank you Dr. Peterson for all your dedicated persistence, effort, and responsibility you've undertaken to bring this teaching to your students and myself~* :)
This is so bitter sweet, the final lesson.
Sorting Myself Out you have a great channel, same meta story as mine
CEO of Opinions Inc. I value your opinion.
Well. A day of rest and on to the next one
That's how I felt about the biblical story lectures too 😔
The mix of emotions I had when he said in the end of #11 "One more class, eh?!"
Stralling through the comments to prolong it :)
I watched two other MoM classes, the one from last year, and the one back at harvard. This one is the best so far. Thank you for providing all of this free of charge.
Thank you for enabling me to change my life so dramatically , my gratitude is hard to put into words.
Thank you, thank you.
Congrats to everyone who made it this far. I hope your lives are starting to make as much sense as mine is starting to. Time to go finish "gulag archipelago" before the library wants it back. Terrifying book, made more so by my own life experience in the presence of malevolent psychopaths on oil drilling rigs. I can see it happening, under the right conditions. This past is never far off from becoming the present.
Thanks Dr. Peterson and good luck in your own life.
You sound like a person with some interesting stories to tell. I'm intrigued by what might be taking place on drilling rigs now.
These lectures are like great literature: you read it at school and say, "Well, okay", because you are still not old enough. Then you read it after life has punched you a few times such that you barely made it in one piece, and then the same literature hits you really hard and you say, "Ah, this is what they mean it is classic!" I think that the depth of what Jordan Peterson delivers in these lectures cannot be fully appreciated by students; they are still not old enough. But having lived about a half of my life and watching these lectures now, I have grown a lot as a person because I recognize many of his "abstract" ideas of good, evil, sacrifice as specific and personal life battle-scars. And those experiences make so much more sense now - they do have a meaning. I am sure many middle-aged men and women could relate to this; it is never late to grow.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson!
Well said, I'm also not sure the youngsters are fully grasping the importance or meaning of this; you really can create your own personal hell on earth through sin and bad decisions
Don't you dare belittle their thought, awareness, and validity of their experience, boomers. I understand you're talking from your own experience of your past, but experiences are very very diverse at all ages. Everyone grows up at different rates. I'm glad you enjoyed the lectures to, though.
@@tamih532 Let me assure you, youngsters can have a Very intimate knowledge of what it’s like to build a personal hell.
So true. I'm 50 and while I think I would have benefited taking this course in college, I don't know that I would have appreciated it's brilliance having now seen how few people in the world actually can think and be so authentic at the same time in their search for answers.
I'm 79 and feeling redeemed by these lectures. All my education and all my experience are being pulled out and reframed.
you're lucky to have made it so far in this wicked game
Worth. Every. Second. Such a great series. Thank you, Dr JBP.
Thank you Dr. Peterson! You've changed a lot of lives.
I cleaned the shit out of room today my dudes
Booty Glitter But did you save your father from the underworld?
Aaron Santos sho nuff, immediately after the dragon was slain..i sorted him out in his own lair and promptly rescued my father from the underworld
You shit in your room?
Ritcherscream724 I did. But it was only glitter. Sorted.
Get a toilet bro
I nearly cried at the end, anyone else or was it just me?
I did cry.
Almost, but it resonates with me a lot due to my life being atragedy so far (33year old)
Not just you.
It's all of us!!!
I'm crying over and over reading all the comments. =)
I barely understand every other word he says but Dr. Peterson so eloquently describes the overall idea that I still basically grasp what the main points are. A sign of a great orator and teacher.

Thank You! Appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.
.
Dr. Peterson, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work you've done. I have awakened my ability to write poetry about the same time I started to listen to your lectures (when the controversy around pronounced made you quite popular). So, rather than being verbose, I would like to dedicate this poem I wrote to you:
Dive into the waters of the unknown ,
plunge into the depths never shown.
Find the golden orb of wisdom
and escape your own mind's prison.
Drive a wedge between yourself and you
based on what is false what is true.
Build up an edifice of monstrous strength,
go as far as any damn reasonable length.
If you are weak and overtly nice,
you shall pay life's harshest price.
A weakling, even one protected by all,
can't bear to pay any single heavy toll.
Strength comes when confronting dragons
willingly and with sharpened talons.
Perception serves to orient the soul
so it can rise after the fall.
🙏💛
Beautiful poem. Hope JP reads it
Well done 👍🏻 I love you poem ❤️
Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
Discovering your videos was truly a Christmas gift for me and my whole family, perhaps the most valuable of all times.
My 14 year old daughter is a big fan of your Maps of Meaning lectures and the 11 year old one finds your reasoning very helpful in her battle with anxiety.
I wish you and everyone you care about the best of health.
I did. It made their day.
The dude can make kids happy about being told by their parents to clean their rooms. If that isn't a signifier of genious then nothing is.
Goodness 14 year olds watching and enjoying maps of meaning..... Terrifying. It'd be an experience to see a kid like that blossom to an individual
YOU KNOW WHAT'S BETTER THAN A LAMBORGHINI?
Being sorted.
A GRODGE
+Luke Donaghy But only if its stacked with books, naturally.
A SHEEPORGHINI.

OBVIOUSLY!
I am on a journey to consume everything this remarkable man has produced.
So far it has been incredibly valuable and I am not even half way through it.
One day, I hope I can repay him somehow.
It's amazing watching him work over his thesis again and again, the structure is tighter and more elegant every time.
Absolutely perfect that Dr. Peterson ends the course wearing his collar up like only he can.
Dr.Peterson, I am from South India. I have been listening to your lectures. You have made me orient my life to a higher good. You have thrown light on my inner self, which made me realize my resentment and bitterness, am trying to work on it. Thanks a lot for giving us hours and hours worthwhile content for free. 🙏

LAST 25 MINUTES ARE GOLD
Indeed. The last minutes of this video should prevail in human awareness not as a reminder but as a motto. I keep coming back to it since I first saw it few years ago. Truly remarkable!
You have saved humanity with this summary
God bless you ❤
I've learned exponentially more from these lectures than I ever did at university. For that, I am grateful.
This channel was one of the greatest things that have ever happened to me. Thanks you all for making this happen.
Jordan Peterson didn't take the redpill...
The redpill took Jordan Peterson
He took the Shrimppill so he can now see colors of pills you can't even imagine
Jordan Peterson IS the redpill
@The Truth As I Know It Time has not yet come!
@The Truth As I Know It what do you think he should elaborate on about racism and sexism?
@@b.happilyeverafter He goes into this for a fair bit of time in his Personality lecture series. He talks about the psychological and evolutionary origins of racism and uses the worst example he could relate to the students: the nazis. One interesting insight he provided is that a lot of people seem to think bigotry is based on fear, but he's found it actually has more of a correlation with orderliness and is based on disgust, which is actually worse I think.
Best course I ever took!
Solae V You're so lucky to actually be taught by him. Did you talk to him outside of lectures? If so what's he like.
bump
I watched all 12 episodes. Totally worth it.
The last 10 minutes gave me an epiphany. Then I went on to listen to the 12 rules of life and watched all the maps of life lectures. Forever grateful
Definition of a Great Mann!!!
He definitely has integrity, great communicator, very intelligent, wise, has a great deal of patience, motivator, tell it like it is if you accept it, knowledge of history.....what a breath of fresh air to hear a man I can learn a lot from!!!
I am 21 years old. And I am extremely happy that I watched these lectures. I can't tell how helpful it is to sort inner conflicts and analyze own actions and beliefs. Thanks a lot.🧡
Update on your life
I'm from Brazil and sometimes can be difficult to apply the notion that we must align ourselves with our own higher aim in order to progress in life.
Takes a whole lot of courage, because there are so much we don't know, and so much we can't even grasp.
but the inconceivable amount of videos and audios that you made availble have given me the tools to realize the dragon that is always behind me, and the weapons that a needed to cut the one in front of me in pieces and make the world out of it.
Thank you for that! The capacity to organize, articulate and apply the knowledge that lies inside of me is changing everything.
So, that's it. Thank you for sharing this life changing content.
And thank god (and the internet) that I can receive it, understand it and absorve it.
p.s.: I have so much more to say, but I can't yet articulate everything in english.
and please do a lecture on taoism ☯
Rafael what is the world view in Brazil? Is it more collective or more deterministic?
I would like to know why you say that the idea is difficult for you.
Benjamin Balke
Yes, there are Brazilians here. Good!
Brazilian way of thinking tends to be more collectivist, at least in public opinion and common sense.
Raquel Salcedo Gomes thank you for telling me that. I wonder if it has always been like that or if it is the result of more modern thinking? Many Latin American countries I have seen are more focused on the family unit and not the individual. Also the culture of Catholicism seems to play a factor in the way people view upward mobility.
Benjamin Balke you are right. Catholicism is very strong here, as well as the christian culture in general. We have what you could call a mix of that with marxist ideas, in what is called teologia da libertação.
Raquel Salcedo Gomes somehow that mixes well with both Catholicism and Calvinism.
1:22:31 I was brought up in a residential school. There I spent my late childhood and by the time I came out I was an adult. The school was highly orderly, everyday and every activity conformed to a time table, every meal was planned. It gave me a conviction that the world is also orderly and there are concrete grounds to adjudge things. But soon I found I was entirely wrong. I couldn't even decide or articulate what is TRUTH. I was in CHAOS. This course has clearly given me some order, a rock to stand on. I'm grateful to you, Mr. Peterson.
2:14:50 justifying the fact that problem exists, this idea has given me motivation to keep fighting all the snakes in my life. Thanks Mr. Peterson
Life changing. I'm incredibly grateful to live in a society where such knowledge is available to whoever seeks it. That final lecture did an amazing job at connecting the dots and summarizing the fundamental questions raised throughout the series. Thank you for working so hard and diligently.
I can’t believe I just watched all 12 lectures for fun, took notes and enjoyed it better than Netflix . Jordan you rock !
I just completed this whole series and I'm literally crying 🥺
I got answers to the questions that always kept bothering me .
I feel so glad that there's someone like in this world. You're my life saviour seriously.
I don't have enough words to thank you Sir. You're ultimate Hero 🙏🎉🔥❤️😭🙇♀️
I will forever be envious of the children who grow to know you as a father.
Be a good father yourelf then
Amen! It's legacy changing time!
Julius Caesar Yeah, but I'm sure if I was his kid I would never comprehend how great a privilege it was.
Ezekiel True. It’s your father, you don’t often get to have ‘other’ dads for comparisons.. often.. or usually..? I don’t know which frquency I should put there😂
He left it all in there! Thank you, Dr. Peterson. This series of lectures has been life-changing and practically eye-opening. I have personally been able to find answers to questions which I was looking for quite some time. Thanks for giving me the tools to live my life is less suffering and a more meaningful way. Thanks for giving the hard truths. Thanks for helping humanity. Thanks for making me humble in an uncanny way which I don't think I would be able to articulate. Thanks for everything you do. You are a GEM of a person. Get well soon. Love & Respect!
How to go from sordid to sorted in 12 lectures.
Michael Scott Brilliant!😬😎
I'm 45 years old. I watched and really listened to all 12 lectures of Maps of meanings. It's so true to comprehend. If the Maps of Meanings lectures were available or at least, a possible coarse In high-school I really believe I would be better off today. You could probably tell by my grammar.
This was the most eye opening lecture series that has ever been taught, in a manner of speaking. So, anyways, that's that.
Thank you Doctor Peterson. My mind is opened, and I have focused my aim to the highest possible target. Your message will transform this world.
This lecture series has changed how I perceive many things.
Thanks so much. Thanks to UoT. Thanks to those who support Dr. Peterson on Patreon.
This was fantastic. So to conclude: you need something that you deem valuable to aim at, and in perusing that you'll not only find meaning in your life, it will protect you from falling victim to dangerous ideologies. Thank you for teaching us this valuable lesson Jordan Peterson.
His lectures are like a performance, I don't even have time to think about anything else than what he's saying, and rightfully so.
I've now listened to his entire 2017 Personality course, his entire Religion lecture series, many of his 12 Rules for Life lectures, and now all of 2017 Maps of Meaning, and I think this one here (number 12) is one of his best. There's more gold in 2 and half hours here than people often get from a year of full-time university study. What a professor!
I want thank you Dr. Peterson for this life altering lecture series. I'm a 56 year old man who had been drifting about pretending I knew so much about the world. What I actually knew was so disconnected and arbitrary, just snippets and half truths. I now have a basis, a substrate for actual meaning and bit of a toolbox for having meaningful conversations. Thanks indeed!
What a journey! This felt like a rite of passage - thank you Dr Peterson!
holy crap that last hour of the lecture was insanely deep. thank you for everything you’ve contributed to my life dr peterson.
I have been starting and then stopping many things for a long time... for many reasons, one of them being that I started way to many all the time... But now Im happy that the first I concluded was hearing/watching all these 12 lectures. Thank you Mr. Peterson, the only man I truly admire in todays world.
What a series, what a man and what a closure of a lecture! It's truly a blessing to be able to enjoy such knowledge and wisdom. I'm thankful for this. Thank you, Jordan, from the bottom of my heart.
I just found out today, that my 15 year old grandson is watching Jordan Peterson lectures. If I were any happier, I would bust open. And yes, he's a normal kid.
I kid you not , listening to Jordan speaking about these things is similar to me as listening to music and I mean that literally.
I feel the same. Thank you!
Thought I was the only one. The words just flow together so perfectly off the top of his head it sound like something people spent hours perfecting how each word adds to the next. Psychological Pink Floyd
It's good to know that I'm not the only person who watched an entire college lecture on youtube. This is possibly the least watched of his lectures, which is a shame. It is quite possibly the best. The last 20 minutes of this lecture is extremely powerful.
Give this man A Nobel Prize already 😊
they need to create a new prize
After listening to these 12 videos,along with the Bible series,i can safely say this channel is one of the most precious treasures in the internet sea. It wasn,t easy,since english is not my first language,but wow,do i have a lot to digest now. Everybody should have access to this,i wish we could find some professionals to make subtitles for various languages.
What a great man, what a great lecture series. Sadly I learnt more useful tools here than was taught to me by my father, but now I know, and am very grateful. Thank you Jordan
It's pleasure to listen these lectures.
English is not my first language so I cannot fully understand whole lectures. But, I know 30 hours of lectures changed my entire belief system and destroyed my nihilistic attitude to life.
Thank you Dr. Peterson for sharing your deep understanding of this material, and making it available for free online. Your method of combining it with aspects of psychology and illuminating it with real life experience enabled me to understand and unpack so much more of the philosophical content. I hope that the Universities start to include this content for all Bachelor of Arts programs as we seem to be in desperate need of a deeper understanding of our cultural and intellectual heritage.
Dear Dr Peterson, "The Brothers Karamazov" is my favourite book, and Mitya has always been my most favourite character, I know him very well in my heart. In your lecture you mentioned the dialogue between Ivan and Aleksey regarding the great inquisitor. I don't know if the translation gets it right, I read it in Russian as it is my mother tongue. The main point of this story was whether or not it is worth to have a great hunky dory world with the cost of one single child's tear. It is not of course, and Mitya's story in the book represents it. I feel it is right.
Lots of gratitude and my best wishes,
Ana
Just concluded this lecture series and Personality 2017. Now to move on to the Biblical Series and Maps of Meaning PDF. Thank you, Professor Peterson, for your incredible generosity. For those of us who don't possess the financial means to afford a seat in your classroom, these freely accessible materials are like an undeserved gift. Your lectures have helped (and are continuing to help) me improve my character and my life. Watching them has become the best part of my day. You are a truly great man.
I enjoy when he shares the questions he asks and the thought process or how he goes about answering them as he 'sorts himself out' because it acts as an example of how 'what matters' forms our being.
If the values of Western Civ are saved, Dr. Peterson will be remembered as one of the catalysts for a deeper understanding of truth, morality and what it means to live responsibly in the world. Aim for the good by sorting yourself out and then extend that outwards to society. Thank you so much for your work good Doctor!
2:19:45 -> The End
YOLO!
Total goosebumps overload.
Watching these lectures has provided tremendous insight. Thank you for putting these out there for the world to see your hard work/research/analysis. This video, especially the last 10 minutes is profound. Bravo 👏🏻
Pain & suffering; a tiny price to pay for living & most of all love because it’s all worth it!!! Happiness & love include some grief. Pain & suffering; both benefit growth in humans. Introduces us to humility, a good friend to have around to combat our arrogance. Absolutely love you to pieces Jordan!!! 👍🏻😘🙋🏻♀️
I really don't know what I have learnt from this course, but I have a feeling I have learnt something that will help me become a good individual, thank you Jordon b Peterson for uploading this lectures.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson!!
You oriented me towards the highest good and there's no going back. I've changed.
Thank you. You changed my life with these lectures. I'm aiming at the highest possible good I can.
Every time I watch these lectures, I almost go into a flow state, deeply engaged. So I wondered why that is. Why am I interested in this? Do I instinctively know that this is vital wisdom? Do I have an abstract value system that's similar to everyone else here? Is my archtype speaking to me? Do I decide that these lectures are TOOL for my frame of reference? For survival? Probably all of it.
My eyes are pointing at the goal of listening to you. And my note books are record of your wisdom passed down to me.
I've never encountered any sort of content that gave me more MEANING and WILLINGNESS to try to thrive in this unforgiving world.
How to sort yourself out before watching a Dr. Peterson upload, roughly speaking:
Embody the tradition of your dead ancestors, ok that's one thing. Clean your damn room. Bargain with the future and let your representations die instead of yourself.
explain to the bloody postmodernists why they're wrong. And then you have to rescue your dead father from the belly of the whale, OBViously.
And so then you'll be able to watch the video as far as I can tell. You can slay the dragon of chaos later.
John Smith well it's no bloody wonder!
And that's no joke, in my estimation.
John Smith It's something like that
John Smith . You're done!
I like to listen to Jordan Peterson to sort myself out before watching Jordan Peterson to sort myself out ;)
Love how you talk with your hands. :D (I'm Italian. We do this.)
Listening to this while cleaning my room and i enjoy every second of it.
Wow that was amazing, the more I listen to you Mr.peterson the more I learn thank you so much
This whole lecture series was fantastic but that last 10 minutes was truly something else
This whole lecture series (and really, the ideas you have shared) has been like watching Darren Arronofsky's The Fountain (you really should check it out!) multiple times and then having the conclusion manifest itself so clearly after years of pondering its meaning. Life is suffering. Accept the burden, aim for the highest good and simultaneously transcend it.
And ultimately, experience glimpses of Paradise.
Thank you so much, Doctor Peterson. ❤
Tatjana Reithofer that's one of my favorite movies. I kind of hated it at first for being all over the place but as soon as I accepted it as a kind of dreamy "experience" as opposed to a "movie"... I started to love it and now I watch it again and again. Favorites alongside that are American beauty, adaptation and Groundhog Day. I know you didn't ask but there you go. lol I wonder what JPs favorites are (aside from Pinocchio ofcourse)
Second that! same here, regarding "The Fountain"!
Me three : ) ohh The Fountain!
You are so right!!!
Dearest Dr. Peterson, Your excellent lectures have given me the final bit of courage my Nichiren Buddhist practice did not to climb that mountain of fear and see over the top. You have changed my entire life and that of my family and friends as well. When we change from within we change our environment and you have given me the self knowledge to do just that. I have no idea how to thank you unless my assurance of going on to be all I can be and help others along the way qualifies as a payback. Thank you so much for MAPS OF MEANING. Your knowledge is life changing and of course world changing.
I'm here for the second time, after watching the whole series a second time. All I want to say is THANK YOU Jordan Peterson, and I wish you full recovery and an even brighter future.
And it came to pass that all were sorted.
Great comment!!!
Early in the morning. Hubby made coffee and asked me to put music on. I put Jordan on and we both smiled. Music to our soul💕
I’ve noticed the change of my response when dealing with abusive/aggressive behaviors. I am not upset or angry anymore. Instead, I am able to figure out where the problem is from. Thank you, Jordan, you are so dear to us. 🌹
Discovering Jordan Peterson is one of the best things in my life. Discovering him at this time is the best thing for me as I've learned more than what university can teach. I have hope in myself which I look down on very much thanks to his speech. I want to show my gratitude. Thank you!
"The solution to the problem of humanity is the integrity of the individual".
Thank you Dr. Peterson. I am a slightly better person than I was, when I started with these lectures.
You are changing my entire perspective on life and rejuvenating my will to love it. Thank you Dr. Peterson
"Sometimes you don't have an answer that works. You have an answer that produces the highest probability of success." The Powerful - Jordan B Peterson
Thanks for posting this lecture series online Dr. Peterson. Exactly what I needed.
Thank You Mr. Peterson. I just finish your 2017 Maps of Meaning Class and looking forward to do the authoring program and personality test.
You opened my eyes.
Thank you!
Thank you Jordan for doing the hard work so I don't have suffer while trying to figure it out. Hopefully, I can take it forward in whatever minor way I can.
His teachings bring me to tears! I must admit...thus this man is the Output of Chaos and Order in 21st century 🤔
The identity point is really interesting. Absolutely love these lectures. Thank you for continuing to share.
Thank you, Dr Peterson. You have given us (the world, I’m Brazilian... and amazed/lucky to watch you) so much value and wisdom with these lectures there’s no way of saying how deeply thankful I am.
Thank you Dr. Peterson! God bless the rest of your life. This is so beautiful!
