So here I sit watching and Listening to Mr Peterson and Mr Murphy, in London, England. I'm a 58 year old man, and have felt such a feeling of comradery for these gentlemen. I've been nodding in agreement and verbally agreeing all through this tremendously ,fascinating, and interesting podcast, which I've enjoyed immensely. My sincere thanks to both gentlemen.
Sitting here in Maine in the USA. I’m feeling the same thing. It is transcendent conversation. Still trying to digest the yeonmi park and Randall Wallace conversations.
And this Canadian, in turn, appreciates as much your fellow British gentlemen of similar fibre and depth.. and we find them, too, in Australia, Germany, USA, and all across the Western World and beyond… it are these and those minds and voices that maintain my hope for the future generation.. and, maybe if we are granted a bit of grace and fortune, even for a few years in our own lifetime still and again -
From my American cage, this is a treat! It's no wonder education never consisted of everything spoken of here. A thinking American is an uncontrollable American.
I sit at the feet of these men and yet I feel alone. Most people I know have swallowed the cool aid of our times. I fear I may loose my circle of friends and family if I voice my thoughts. I now understand how the great dictators were able to wield such terrifying power.
I could not fathom how some horrible events could be and people could be so fooled... but I now get an idea how I could have been and its sad to see it start to repeat...
I am a 62 year old Nova Scotia female. I can't Express how humbled and impressed I am by this man and his stories. I am proud to say I can relate to him on so many levels. Thank Rex from the bottom of my heart.
24 year old nova scotia here! Rex is truly a national treasure. I hope Dr. Peterson has Pierre Pollievre on soon, I think he is canada’s best hope currently
22 year old Nova Scotian here. Even as a 13 year old, I liked Rex whenever he came on. People like him matter more than we realize. He makes me proud to be from the East Coast, he's someone of great caliber. Thank God for those who speak the truth; with grace, dignity, and impeccable humour. Wassup Creighton! xD
I’m a classical singer. This made me consider all the operas and oratorios I’ve sung. How when you sing something by heart it becomes a part of you. Thank you Dr Peterson
I am no singer, I am no muso, but I grew a love of classical music thanks to, probably my early years listening to my fathers occasional piano practice, and my teen hunger for same during the 'emotional desert' of a boarding school education in the '60's 'rock' era.
I think I aged at least two years listening to this. Loved it. Especially the expounded conversation on knowing words and being clever/profound outside of academia. Made me think of personal circumstances and I was near tears. Such a liberating and strengthening conversation. I had to look up the word ineffable. And translate to my native tongue. Once I did that alone produced the positive bombardment of happy! Thoughts. ❤️
Me at the beginning of most interviews: "who the heck is this person, and why on earth should I care what they have to say?" Me at the end of EVERY INTERVIEW- " it's over already? That was fascinating and interesting!"
Ive started to ignore the person or personality being interviewed now and trust that jbp knows what hes doing. Ive tried other interviewers (joe rogan, etc) but they dont have the same grab with every single person interviewed the way jbp does. Its something special i think.
Great Interview. Two treasures of our day! Compared to all the rubbish out there! CBC got owned by actor JT and and the Pandemic has broken the Spirit of Canadians thanks to Trudeau with all the game playing PC so hollow. People are seeing and realizing that this is spiralizing into marxist agenda daily. Plain EVIL!
God please allow these to influence a great population of our youth who are being sold precisely what Mr. Murphy describes, ‘empty philosophies void of logic.’ Great word, treat.
I'm am by no means an "educated" person, but, I fully appreciate the level of education both of these men have and share with us all. The food for thought that they provide is a feast.
As a public high school teacher, this line stuck with me near the end of the interview: “who the hell are you to tell me I have unconscious bias”. School districts across the country are adopting policies at an alarming rate that are aimed at indoctrinating educators toward this DIE parody. 99.9% of us are afraid to say anything for risk of red flagging ourselves. Me, I’m ready to fight this none sense if I risk losing my career. There’s simply too much at stake.
Start fighting it now, before it's at the door! Talk to your colleagues about the truth, not with buzzwords but clearly, so that when the lie comes they will recognize it!
Ask them to site the underlying scientific literature that supports these policies. Because there hardly is any at all, at least nothing reputable within education. When they cant it gives all those not willing to speak up a non political reason to oppose. The burden of proof lies with the one wanting to introduce something. Most of them cant meet it when you point it out.
@@GilmerJohn This is how these things have permeated this far. Until, educators, parents, students, etc stand up, consequences be damned, this will continue and get to a point of no return. This is the hard truth it.
I am ashamed to have let myself slide after university. I can recite the Jabberwocky and perhaps some snippet of David Whyte, along with quotes from Buddhism and Stoicism, but I've forgotten the soliloquies of Shakespeare and the rhythm of Homer.
Rex Murphy is a Canadian national treasure. He's an oldschool intellect and sharp as s tack. He cuts through the bullshit with a very creative wit and his writing is biting in both how poetic and correct it is. It reduces him to have to be exposed to all the intellectual bankruptcy the modern left has unleashed upon the world, yet he reflexively does commentary on it and sheds a compelling light on it with all the weight of his classical lit training.
He's new to me, I wrote down several "quote" he has said tonight. Not famous ones, but just some of his elaborations on his point. He's a deep well of wisdom and experience.
Dudes and dudettes...I’m still recovering from listening to the Yeonmi Park podcast and JBP just keeps pumping em out. I’m amazed and still catching up to all the content...here we go! Thanks Jordan!! Nice to see the life return to you more and more every few episodes. Thank God 🙏🏻❤️
Just think of Canada becoming a republic a future NK, just what they became after Japan left them.... This is one thing I learned from there....besides the fact that I grow up in communism and I understood every word in that interview as I lived it
Yeonmi was an absolute amazing woman and I know she doesn’t think so but she is and went they horrific circumstances. Great job Dr Peterson from real folks
I'm no less amused than highly appreciative of the eloquence and thoughtfulness that Jordan and Rex present. It's a treat to listen to them in such a long dialogue format.
I had never heard of Mr. Murphy before, as I am from the UK. It's so refreshing to hear someone with common sense articulate the stupidity that is happening in Western culture.
@@richardwoollaston3650 well we will just have to cheer really really loudly then won’t we :-). I’m sure that won’t mess up their little capitulation display.
It's ironic, I suppose, when these two talk about being humbled and inspired to be in the presence of great minds they've known, and you suddenly realise - you're being given the honour of a 2 hour conversation between two such minds. You can safely say, yes, I know exactly what you mean Mr Murphy, sir.
I very much prefer these long-form discussions to what most "interview" shows provide. These educate you not just about another person, but about other ways of thinking.
There's a lot of filler in most long-form channels. They know people want it. They just don't have enough to say to make the time worth it. That never happens with JBP, although you have to ration how much of it you try to absorb in any given day!
I think our country is going downhill. I'm upset with these smart guys. I suppose they like what America has become. I don't. I don't understand why we have a 27 trillion debt if it isn't important. Why keep track for all these years? I'm just about these guys age. They make money writing books looking smart. I hope they are happy for the world they are leaving their children. I didn't have children partly from the draft taking a high school graduate and telling him to go kill and be killed and then the other fear of being blown up by nuclear weapons. Young people are lucky you have not had to face a draft into a war half way around the world.
@@elizabethdavis6275 I did not finish it even though I have listened to many of Jordan's videos like the one of the girl from North Korea. Almost every video (not Just Jordan's) is a complaint about how things are. Bitch, Bitch, Bitch and I don't blame them but doing the same thing is not going to bring change. For years I watched 60 Minutes and where did that get us? Here is a solution: Increase the House Of Representatives to 1 per 30,000 like it says in the Constitution. 100 years ago we limited the House to 435. Just enough for the the Fortune 500 to each have their own boy or girl. That is the time of women's suffrage, the Fed and the IRS. We were taken over by all the new inventions at the time and the wonderment of the World's Fairs. In 1929 a Republican controlled DC passed a law to make the 435 permanent but it is in the Constitution so can't be it is our first right. Representation. They will tell you the reason for 435 is because the building can't hold anymore desks. How about building a larger Capital for the people to have representation like the founders gave us?
"There are some things that are so stupid, that you have to be; extremely intelligent to perform." My God! If I could speak and write, with even the tenth of the power of Mr. Murphy's wit.. God!
@@Isaiah--vj2xu Awesome man, always lovely to see my fellow South Africans around these parts of the internet. I was tuning in from Durban at the time. 😄👍🏽
Sheesh, the rare depth of conversation during this episode was so uncommon hearing it became stimulatingly rejuvenating. I need friends I can talk to on this level!
"The university is the continuation of a conversation across centuries..." JP just throws off these profound phrases without effort. Brilliant interview. I don't know anything about Rex, but will definitely look into his work.
The importance of the neutrality of universities is pointed out in David Hoffman’s video of a 1968 debate on the Chicago campus. Very enlightening to see self-described white radicals and Black Panthers confront the University NOT taking sides against Dow for napalm.
@@downeybill Me as well. When I heard JP's first podcast with Rogan I immediately started listening to Maps of Meaning and Personality and Its Transformations.
Unfortunately, JRE lost his way long ago... He has entertained INTELLECTUAL GIANTS and RAW LIBERTARIANS on his podcasts whilst he then turns around and espouses the beliefs and policies of the "Enemy"... Joe Rogan has not only tacitly approved BUT has VOTED FOR the very Career Politicians and REGRESSIVE POLICIES that turned California (a once beautiful State) into a Third World Shit Hole... He fled California with his tail between his legs and went to a STABLE and PROSPEROUS Red State... Much like Bill Maher, he talks out of both sides of his mouth and DOES NOT walk his "tough" talk.
This might be one of the single greatest interviews I have ever heard. There is a depth and richness that compels thought, gratitude, and a thirst for knowledge.
Amazing! Having worked at CBC (no longer there for over a decade and wouldn’t go near its current insane woke doors) but briefly having worked with Rex and listened to him for years) it was the best and most revealing insight to what a solid upstanding gentlemen he is. Always knew that but now have his backstory :)
I just turned 24, hearing Rex say whatever you’ve learned by 25 will stick with you forever is by far the single most motivating sentence I’ve ever heard. Challenge accepted. New Goal is to read one book a week this year. Maps of meaning may take longer haha. Love all you do For us Jordan keep up the A+ work. ❤️
A word of advice from C. S. Lewis: read OLD books! The people of every time have blind spots and biases, but older writers have different ones than you, and they may have insights that can help cure yours.
@@billsimms2511 I think he understands that the battle has just begun, lines have been drawn, outcomes far from determined. Now is not the time to be sure that things will work themselves out in a proper manner. It is a time of gathering for the coming storm.
@@billsimms2511 I don't know if you're familiar with Bill Whittle, but Bill used to be one of the most "gosh-darn, we'll prevail because we're Americans" guys I've ever seen. Hopeful, upbeat, etc. Now, some eighteen or nineteen years since I first read him, he's not too optimistic either. Nor am I.
re Rossi/postmodern motivation I remember, during the height of the Four Horsemen (Hitchens et al) and recently having left Uni, buying myself a copy of the Koran and the King James Bible - and a set of highlighters. With an aim to go through and highlight each of the instances of perceived sexism/racism/homophobia that I could find, to prove to myself how foolish these religions are and how superior I was. A decade later, I found Dr Peterson and he turned my whole damned world upside down. As unwelcome, self recriminatory and painful as it was, I have never been more grateful to anyone for anything than I am to you sir. Thank you, from the depths of me, thank you.
I haven't read the Koran, but as a Christian and avid bible reader, I imagine your efforts required alot of ink. Ultimately where did you land? I understand that your narrative led you to take some self-improvement steps, but I'm curious about the Bible vs Koran results.
@@davidd6334 I started with the Bible, I did not get further than a few books in - I did not bother starting the Koran, presuming a similar experience (and I agree with that statement that I don't think it translates well). I seem to remember multiple marks on every page, from different colours denoting the specific perceived ism/phobia that I'd discovered. The activity made me even more of a condescending atheist than I already was (and I was plenty one already - "mock them"). Looking back, I experience an embarrassed and rueful awe, contemplating the preposterous foolishness and arrogance of my young self.
I listen to podcasts like this and feel so much pain (literally, in my chest) that there’s so little I know. The more I read, the more pain I feel because the educational hydra grows, I read Jung and I want to read Nietzsche, Homer, the Bible, the Kabbalah, etc. I read the Bible and I want to read about Roman history, Zoroastrianism, Pagans. The more I read the less I feel I know, and the more I feel the need to learn. Had my obsession started just a bit earlier, before I graduated, or while I was in high school, I would have been able to dedicate that incredibly valuable time to learning. I’ve still got a lifetime (I’m 22), but now work is in the way. Maybe I’ve just got to make sure the work I do is worth sacrificing time towards an education.
If you can read a book every couple of weeks, that's 200 books by the time you're 30. And if you choose good books, that's a hell of an education! If you can't tell what's good, just go with old, especially pre printing press. Old books that are still read must have something to say or we'd have forgotten about then generations ago!
I have focused on the classics of literature over my life and I cannot be more grateful for the incredible quality of the minds, ideas, philosophy and critical thinking that I discovered. They deserve to be worshipped. They have enriched my life beyond what I believed possible. We are in a new dark age, but these giants will not be cancelled. They must be kept alive for a more enlightened age with people that can and do truly appreciate it, and by that, deserve it.
Cute, but the printing press and its modern-day analogs belong to ALL of us, not just "journalists". That said, these abusers certainly need to have their weapons taken from them.
I’m a Texan and Rex is one of my favorites. I also attended Catholic School run by Benedictine Nuns and although I’m Conservative Lutheran I wouldn’t trade that Catholic Classic Education for anything! Thank you Rex for everything you’ve done up to now and especially for calling out the Propaganda Ministry on our radio & television masquerading as “”journalists”.
Part of our homeschooling here is poetry memorization. My 7th grader has memorized over 50 poems and we will continue through high school. The longest one she knows so far is Rudyard Kipling’s The Law of the Jungle. It’s by far our favorite subject aside from world history and literature. I am so glad we chose to homeschool. My kids have benefitted so much.
We homeschool as well and read lots of books. I was so encouraged by this conversation with Rex. Really made me feel that what we are doing is the right thing. Do you pick the poems for your kids to memorize or do you use a resource for that?
@@BrunhildValkyrie i pick some and some come from curriculum. Institute of Excellence in Writing (IEW) has a great curriculum for poetry memorization and also we used a curriculum for writing by Susan Wise Bauer that contains dictation and poetry memorization. Right now (this summer) my youngest is memorizing Casey at the Bat. We are going to make a film about it using a group of homeschool kids dressed in early 1900’s apparel playing a baseball game. She will narrate it by performing that poem. 👍
“Sometimes the persona takes over the person.” Reminds me of the Vonnegut line from Mother Night: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” That line hit me hard when I read it in high school, and it stuck with me.
CBC was hijacked by low IQ quasi-politician career bureaucrats long, long ago. We are just at the point when it’s corpse is starting to really decompose.
Two of my very favourite writers! What a perfect meeting of matching minds. I was beyond fortunate to have worked with Rex Murphy at the National Speaker's Bureau here in Canada - bragging rights for life! The CBC is missing Rex's voice, wit, brilliance, and comedic cynicism all at once but especially times like these! Thank God for RexTV. Blessings to you both.
Rex was an icon in Canadian journalism. He had a way of articulating his point and was master of painting a mental picture in our minds. I will sadly miss Rex, one of the last great journalists of my lifetime! God speed Mr Murphy.
I am not a native English speaker but, oh lord, what a depth of thought in this conversation. It makes me fall in love again with the English language. It is so satisfying to hear the both of you. Thank you Mr. Peterson for these podcasts. Beautiful, and interesting people and talks. Thank you.
Thank God there is still a place we can go where there is an opportunity to learn something deeply meaningful and of infinite use to the world. It reminds me of the days when the convos in the classroom where the best high you could get.
I live in Texas but I am from NS. This interview is like listening to my elders back home. Very nostalgic, hits the heart, and a virtue that shines the truth through the darkness of this modern day nonsense that we get bombarded with on a daily basis. The dialogue certainly makes my bluenose soul yearn for that salty briny air. May God bless Rex and Jordan and the great country of Canada. As they have mentioned, some of the smartest people I have met in my life are not masters of academics - far from it. They are masters of their selves, understand how to interact with those around them, and the bi-product is a better environment in which they habitat.
This is going to be a real treat. My two favourite Cnadians. Folks, Rex has his own UA-cam channel focusing on Canadian issues which is very worth subscribing to. Lots of respect here.
On his channel he interviews Dr Peterson, just prior to his short departure from the world stage. A wonderful interview and at the end a genuine acknowledgement of mutual respect and admiration towards each other.
I keep commenting the same thing every week, because it keeps being true: Excellent episode, excellent guest, fascinating conversation! Thank you both.
Dr Peterson, This is one of the most delightful and at once edifying interviews you’ve had yet. I’m sure many will mock it as an echo chamber or self licking ice cream cone of sorts; yet I would argue that there is a need and benefit from those discussions when they earnestly dig deep into issues like this one. You and Rex in conversation on stage would be so very entertaining as well. I Thank you and I’m thankful for you.
I couldn't agree more. For many of us, brilliant minds like this can beautifully articulate what we've been thinking and feeling. If the ideologically possessed are to be pushed back it may be that the necessary courage and motivation will arise and be sustained by conversations like this.
@@timr9633 D. Bonhoeffer (I paraphase): ‘God will not hold us blameless in the matters of men. Not to act is, is to act. Not to speak, is to speak.’ This position that Bonhoeffer speaks a truth into both the Christian and the agnostic. That we are called by our positions as Men and Women to stand in the gap for His sake, sure... but for our families, communities, our states/territories/provinces, our nations, and our fellow human et al. S/F, Shannon
Rex Murphy is a common sense no nonsense SOB! I wish we had more like him!! My god Rex Murphy you are without a doubt a giant of intellect and all those year at the CBC were wasted! You are way above your station.
I completely agree with everything you said except that his time on the CBC was wasted. He made the CBC listenable. Cross Country Checkup was absolutely worth tuning into every Sunday afternoon. There was a different topic each week and people would call in from all over Canada to discuss it with Rex. He loved to talked to everybody and it showed. When he left the CBC seemed to stop being interested in average Canadians at all.
@@wijkeg4558 Yes I agree but you get waste of space people from the press running and winning political office, I would have really liked to see Mr.Murphy running. He would have made a FINE representative. Or better still, PM!!
Wonderful man, thank you for interviewing him. I'm grateful when a new treasure is introduced to me. You look remarkable, Mr. Peterson. Shockingly healthy with a lively sparkle in the eyes. Lovely to see you looking so well. May this portrait of perseverance persist.
Good lord, this man Rex is a Gem! I could listen to him all day. I've never even heard of him before this podcast. The combined wisdom of these two men is endless.
"This goes too our heart and core. We are displacing ourselves, by allowing charlatans, to wreck the intellectual standards of the western world" Brilliant!
@@penname40 Yeah, it's a bit ironic that this brilliant statement about intellectual standards is quoted by a charlatan who is incapable of grammatically dictating the words.
@@philosophicallyreclined6632 at least his intent is honest in merely reciting Murphy's words, which undoes any sort of charlatan label. We should reserve that condemnation for the true jackals who actually intend to deceive others.
Wow! The way JP’s guest conveys the principle & truth he’s derived through the articulated experience of a life well lived both personally & professionally is a real testament to the intelligence, wisdom and moral integrity within the man!!
Rex Murphy is a Canadian gem. We all grew up hearing his voice on our TVs and through our radios. He writes mainly opinion pieces for the National Post these days which are poetic and articulate and I read them in my head, hearing his voice and metre which makes it all the more impactful and often profound.
Less than 20 minutes in and I'm floored by this guy's use of language. I feel like I've been listening/reading utter drivel in comparison with other journalists/news people.
If you want a treat, google Rex Murphy articles, many are to be found in the National Post. I read his articles even if the subject doesn't interest me much. They are always masterpieces in regards to language, humour and precision of pinpointing the issue.
Jordan, this may be the best one yet! Of course, to my embarrassment, I wasn't familiar with Rex Murphy. What a treasure trove has been opened to me. I wish I could find the words to adequately express it. Thank you, Jordan. It was such an arid and vacant space without you in it. I am so happy and grateful to have you back! Greetings from Dallas, Texas!
Rex Murphy is the best! The only independent thinking journalist in Canada who stands apart from the dominant left. He is the balancing force. And I will never forget our conversation together over a meal. Respect.
Over half a million views of a two and a quarter hour long conversation between a psychologist and a journalist! There is hope for humanity. Truth is not dead. Faith is preparing herself for massive awakening. And a broad-based realisation of the utility of authentic love in action will herald the coming of the rightful heir to this wonderful world we live in. May the Father of all that is good and right and just bless you both in abundance. The best is yet to come...
I'm the biggest Jordan Peterson fan and I really respect everyone he interviews, but it's a complete myth that calcium helps the bones... In fact people who consume high amounts of calcium experience more bone fractures.
I'd argue your both as fu*ked as each other. ABC and BBC and new York Times all as fu*ked as each other also. They paid people too believe they were gathering money for me or representation and then nomiki sold what evidence she gathered too the new York Times so I believe there is no evidence.
You don't get it.. these agendas are designed to drive you crazy. This is not about ideology but about driving society apart. Unless you're a part of a minority that benifits from these agendas, this will agitate to the point of frustration and anger. The real purpose of these woke and cancel culture agendas. Don't buy into it. If you do..then your the fool.
I’ve never been strong academically, went to Technical College and now work in the trades. But I’ve been recently struck by Jordan’s podcasts for a hunger of a higher thought process. I won’t miss any of his content and am in search of more. Just bought Beyond Order and cannot wait to read it!
You are not alone. I passed on a university education and thank God for it. I am an automotive technician. Many of us who went into the trades are fans of Dr Peterson. The woke world doesn't resonate with people who have to contend with reality. The culture war is going to get much worse before it is settled. It will be bloody.
Like a combustion engine A poem's power Comes from the compression of expression A few words combined Confined Fusing meaning and emotion Into an energy form Known as a poem
I'm glad to hear that wisdom has not totally left this world. I've found it lonely pushing back against cultural wokeism by myself. I don't have a platform; mostly I fight with words. I won't back down from this plague. I just wish it didn't feel like a loosing battle. 😔
"What is a university? It is a continuous conversation across the centuries". -Excellent observation! I am afraid that our woke educational institutions are deliberately stopping the conversation to take the power of reason away from our youth.
All that happens in college is students do their best to cheat and lie to bear through the classes without learning a thing while playing with free money to do drugs and have sex. This is a kid who dropped out 4 months ago
It’s a shame to waste this time for enrichment and creative development on demonization and blame. Thank you Jordan and Rex. You both are a soothing balm in this abrasive society.
Stunning conversation.... This is giving me even more faith in "The Word." Thank you Dr. Peterson and Rex Murphy. ~ I'm so profoundly grateful for you both. Much Love to you and to all the people you love.
Fascinating interview; thank you so much, Dr Peterson. I'm watching this in the U.K., near Newcastle, and thinking about the state the West is in. I think it is partly down to our great relative wealth, apparent security and ease compared with what our forebears endured. A saying up here summarises it, as follows: "Strong men make for good times. Good times make soft men. Soft men make for bad times. Bad times need strong men ..."
Conversations like this are “a form of psychic breathing”, as Carol Gilligan puts it. When you come across something that speaks to your famished soul, you savour every word of it. This is food for some serious thought. It makes academics look like an integral part of life. It ceases to be an elite, esoteric pursuit. We need more of this. 👍
Absolutely brilliant!!! I am a woman of Indian origin and got my mba in finance in the US and I am now pursuing my 2nd career here in California getting my doctoral degree in psychology in my 40s; and I cannot tell you how frustrating it is for me to hear some the resentment in some of my peer cohort here at University of San Francisco. Honestly Dr. Peterson- if you start your own doctoral program I would love to study in your program because it is incredibly stifling to not be able to “think out loud” out of the fear of offending someone who gets offended on behalf on someone else in the name of them being an “ally”! It’s ludicrous and doesn’t promote true critical thinking! I’m concerned that these people will only get it when we are all in the Gulags 😰🤯
Why isn't this conversation played in every high school? A verbal symphony of what magic comes from reading and studying the greatest minds, especially in literature, arts, phylosophy and history that ever lived and so be vicariously in their company mentally and the growth, good and pleasure that comes from that. Pity it's only nano particles of population that preserve it all. Too great a risk for mankind to lose it.
May God continue to have His hand upon these two gentlemen. There are others like them. Real men. Fatherly in nature, brotherly in battle. Thank you.

22 year old Nova Scotian here. Even as a 13 year old, I liked Rex whenever he came on. People like him matter more than we realize. He makes me proud to be from the East Coast, he's someone of great caliber. Thank God for those who speak the truth; with grace, dignity, and impeccable humour.

I’m a classical singer. This made me consider all the operas and oratorios I’ve sung. How when you sing something by heart it becomes a part of you. Thank you Dr Peterson
True, meshes with the soul, colours us with all the colours of a prism, brands us with complexities to many to count.
I am no singer, I am no muso, but I grew a love of classical music thanks to, probably my early years listening to my fathers occasional piano practice, and my teen hunger for same during the 'emotional desert' of a boarding school education in the '60's 'rock' era.
you never noticed that before ?
I am a classical guitarist and I thought exactly the same.
Dichterliebe and Finzi’s A Young Man’s Exhortation for me. And Bach B Minor. And Handel Dixit Dominus. Ugh. It’s all so good.
It's not 20 thousand, it's more than 20 Million people who are happy that he is back. Greetings from Germany
Rex said 20000 times 20000 other people which is actually 400 million people!
I thought that was rather an understatement also.
The numbers should be higher of course.
Canada is in big trouble. We need help
As an Australian, I am so glad that Prof Peterson is back.
i believe he said twenty thousand thousands of people -- a poetic way of saying twenty million.
I think I aged at least two years listening to this. Loved it. Especially the expounded conversation on knowing words and being clever/profound outside of academia. Made me think of personal circumstances and I was near tears. Such a liberating and strengthening conversation. I had to look up the word ineffable. And translate to my native tongue. Once I did that alone produced the positive bombardment of happy! Thoughts. ❤️
Me at the beginning of most interviews: "who the heck is this person, and why on earth should I care what they have to say?"
Me at the end of EVERY INTERVIEW-
" it's over already? That was fascinating and interesting!"
I know, right….humiliating to realize you think because you haven’t heard of someone they have nothing to offer….wrong, and lesson learned.
Ive started to ignore the person or personality being interviewed now and trust that jbp knows what hes doing. Ive tried other interviewers (joe rogan, etc) but they dont have the same grab with every single person interviewed the way jbp does. Its something special i think.
Rex is an institution!

Great Interview. Two treasures of our day! Compared to all the rubbish out there! CBC got owned by actor JT and and the Pandemic has broken the Spirit of Canadians thanks to Trudeau with all the game playing PC so hollow. People are seeing and realizing that this is spiralizing into marxist agenda daily. Plain EVIL!
In a day where mediocrity is celebrated this is like fresh air.
God please allow these to influence a great population of our youth who are being sold precisely what Mr. Murphy describes, ‘empty philosophies void of logic.’
Great word, treat.
I'm am by no means an "educated" person, but, I fully appreciate the level of education both of these men have and share with us all. The food for thought that they provide is a feast.
As a public high school teacher, this line stuck with me near the end of the interview: “who the hell are you to tell me I have unconscious bias”. School districts across the country are adopting policies at an alarming rate that are aimed at indoctrinating educators toward this DIE parody. 99.9% of us are afraid to say anything for risk of red flagging ourselves. Me, I’m ready to fight this none sense if I risk losing my career. There’s simply too much at stake.
Don't risk your career. Rather, simply ask selection questions of the skulls full of mush.
Morales are the characters that define human consciousness. Good for you !!!
Start fighting it now, before it's at the door! Talk to your colleagues about the truth, not with buzzwords but clearly, so that when the lie comes they will recognize it!
Ask them to site the underlying scientific literature that supports these policies. Because there hardly is any at all, at least nothing reputable within education.
When they cant it gives all those not willing to speak up a non political reason to oppose.
The burden of proof lies with the one wanting to introduce something. Most of them cant meet it when you point it out.
@@GilmerJohn This is how these things have permeated this far. Until, educators, parents, students, etc stand up, consequences be damned, this will continue and get to a point of no return. This is the hard truth it.
I love Rex always have and always will. He's one of the smartest Canadians minds. Canada has always been lucky to have him.
Dr. Peterson has the most interesting guests. Mr. Murphy is a fascinating personality.
I am ashamed to have let myself slide after university. I can recite the Jabberwocky and perhaps some snippet of David Whyte, along with quotes from Buddhism and Stoicism, but I've forgotten the soliloquies of Shakespeare and the rhythm of Homer.
He looks really creepy on the thumbnail though!!
Rex Murphy is a Canadian national treasure. He's an oldschool intellect and sharp as s tack. He cuts through the bullshit with a very creative wit and his writing is biting in both how poetic and correct it is. It reduces him to have to be exposed to all the intellectual bankruptcy the modern left has unleashed upon the world, yet he reflexively does commentary on it and sheds a compelling light on it with all the weight of his classical lit training.
He's new to me, I wrote down several "quote" he has said tonight. Not famous ones, but just some of his elaborations on his point. He's a deep well of wisdom and experience.

Dudes and dudettes...I’m still recovering from listening to the Yeonmi Park podcast and JBP just keeps pumping em out. I’m amazed and still catching up to all the content...here we go! Thanks Jordan!! Nice to see the life return to you more and more every few episodes. Thank God 🙏🏻❤️
Yeah, that interview was heavy. Both her story as well as her observations about American higher education were stunning
Just think of Canada becoming a republic a future NK, just what they became after Japan left them.... This is one thing I learned from there....besides the fact that I grow up in communism and I understood every word in that interview as I lived it
This is real meat. Nourishment for adult minds. Long live podcasts!
Yeonmi was an absolute amazing woman and I know she doesn’t think so but she is and went they horrific circumstances. Great job Dr Peterson from real folks

I'm no less amused than highly appreciative of the eloquence and thoughtfulness that Jordan and Rex present. It's a treat to listen to them in such a long dialogue format.
Yes, it’s so interesting that even 2 hours seems short😆
Love Murphy. A journalist with character and passion. Screw cancel culture … the woke warriors will be swept under the rug of history.

Canadian national treasure.
It's ironic, I suppose, when these two talk about being humbled and inspired to be in the presence of great minds they've known, and you suddenly realise - you're being given the honour of a 2 hour conversation between two such minds. You can safely say, yes, I know exactly what you mean Mr Murphy, sir.
I very much prefer these long-form discussions to what most "interview" shows provide. These educate you not just about another person, but about other ways of thinking.
There's a lot of filler in most long-form channels. They know people want it. They just don't have enough to say to make the time worth it. That never happens with JBP, although you have to ration how much of it you try to absorb in any given day!
This is basically lecture of living fully.
I think our country is going downhill. I'm upset with these smart guys. I suppose they like what America has become. I don't. I don't understand why we have a 27 trillion debt if it isn't important. Why keep track for all these years? I'm just about these guys age. They make money writing books looking smart. I hope they are happy for the world they are leaving their children. I didn't have children partly from the draft taking a high school graduate and telling him to go kill and be killed and then the other fear of being blown up by nuclear weapons. Young people are lucky you have not had to face a draft into a war half way around the world.
@@timsteinkamp2245 Did you watch the video? These men are very upset about the direction their country (Canada) and indeed the world has taken.
@@elizabethdavis6275 I did not finish it even though I have listened to many of Jordan's videos like the one of the girl from North Korea. Almost every video (not Just Jordan's) is a complaint about how things are. Bitch, Bitch, Bitch and I don't blame them but doing the same thing is not going to bring change. For years I watched 60 Minutes and where did that get us?
Here is a solution: Increase the House Of Representatives to 1 per 30,000 like it says in the Constitution. 100 years ago we limited the House to 435. Just enough for the the Fortune 500 to each have their own boy or girl. That is the time of women's suffrage, the Fed and the IRS. We were taken over by all the new inventions at the time and the wonderment of the World's Fairs. In 1929 a Republican controlled DC passed a law to make the 435 permanent but it is in the Constitution so can't be it is our first right. Representation. They will tell you the reason for 435 is because the building can't hold anymore desks. How about building a larger Capital for the people to have representation like the founders gave us?

"The university is the continuation of a conversation across centuries..." JP just throws off these profound phrases without effort. Brilliant interview. I don't know anything about Rex, but will definitely look into his work.
The importance of the neutrality of universities is pointed out in David Hoffman’s video of a 1968 debate on the Chicago campus. Very enlightening to see self-described white radicals and Black Panthers confront the University NOT taking sides against Dow for napalm.

This podcast has taken over the number one spot from Joe Rogan for interesting and insightful conversation. Wow it was time well spent.
I will never, ever forget Rogan for those three Jordan Peterson interviews. Changed me forever.
@@downeybill Me as well. When I heard JP's first podcast with Rogan I immediately started listening to Maps of Meaning and Personality and Its Transformations.
Unfortunately, JRE lost his way long ago... He has entertained INTELLECTUAL GIANTS and RAW LIBERTARIANS on his podcasts whilst he then turns around and espouses the beliefs and policies of the "Enemy"... Joe Rogan has not only tacitly approved BUT has VOTED FOR the very Career Politicians and REGRESSIVE POLICIES that turned California (a once beautiful State) into a Third World Shit Hole... He fled California with his tail between his legs and went to a STABLE and PROSPEROUS Red State... Much like Bill Maher, he talks out of both sides of his mouth and DOES NOT walk his "tough" talk.

This might be one of the single greatest interviews I have ever heard. There is a depth and richness that compels thought, gratitude, and a thirst for knowledge.
Amazing! Having worked at CBC (no longer there for over a decade and wouldn’t go near its current insane woke doors) but briefly having worked with Rex and listened to him for years) it was the best and most revealing insight to what a solid upstanding gentlemen he is. Always knew that but now have his backstory :)
I just turned 24, hearing Rex say whatever you’ve learned by 25 will stick with you forever is by far the single most motivating sentence I’ve ever heard. Challenge accepted. New Goal is to read one book a week this year. Maps of meaning may take longer haha. Love all you do For us Jordan keep up the A+ work. ❤️
One year... get after it bucko! And good luck ;)

re Rossi/postmodern motivation
I remember, during the height of the Four Horsemen (Hitchens et al) and recently having left Uni, buying myself a copy of the Koran and the King James Bible - and a set of highlighters. With an aim to go through and highlight each of the instances of perceived sexism/racism/homophobia that I could find, to prove to myself how foolish these religions are and how superior I was.
A decade later, I found Dr Peterson and he turned my whole damned world upside down.
As unwelcome, self recriminatory and painful as it was, I have never been more grateful to anyone for anything than I am to you sir.
Thank you, from the depths of me, thank you.
I haven't read the Koran, but as a Christian and avid bible reader, I imagine your efforts required alot of ink. Ultimately where did you land? I understand that your narrative led you to take some self-improvement steps, but I'm curious about the Bible vs Koran results.
@@davidd6334 I'm also intrigued. Please, give us an update.
@@davidd6334 I started with the Bible, I did not get further than a few books in - I did not bother starting the Koran, presuming a similar experience (and I agree with that statement that I don't think it translates well).
I seem to remember multiple marks on every page, from different colours denoting the specific perceived ism/phobia that I'd discovered.
The activity made me even more of a condescending atheist than I already was (and I was plenty one already - "mock them").
Looking back, I experience an embarrassed and rueful awe, contemplating the preposterous foolishness and arrogance of my young self.
Jesus that sounds like the absolute worst way to spend your days. Good on you for getting out of that.
I listen to podcasts like this and feel so much pain (literally, in my chest) that there’s so little I know. The more I read, the more pain I feel because the educational hydra grows, I read Jung and I want to read Nietzsche, Homer, the Bible, the Kabbalah, etc. I read the Bible and I want to read about Roman history, Zoroastrianism, Pagans. The more I read the less I feel I know, and the more I feel the need to learn. Had my obsession started just a bit earlier, before I graduated, or while I was in high school, I would have been able to dedicate that incredibly valuable time to learning. I’ve still got a lifetime (I’m 22), but now work is in the way. Maybe I’ve just got to make sure the work I do is worth sacrificing time towards an education.
If you can read a book every couple of weeks, that's 200 books by the time you're 30. And if you choose good books, that's a hell of an education!
If you can't tell what's good, just go with old, especially pre printing press. Old books that are still read must have something to say or we'd have forgotten about then generations ago!

They deserve to be worshipped. They have enriched my life beyond what I believed possible. We are in a new dark age, but these giants will not be cancelled. They must be kept alive for a more enlightened age with people that can and do truly appreciate it, and by that, deserve it.

Part of our homeschooling here is poetry memorization. My 7th grader has memorized over 50 poems and we will continue through high school. The longest one she knows so far is Rudyard Kipling’s The Law of the Jungle. It’s by far our favorite subject aside from world history and literature. I am so glad we chose to homeschool. My kids have benefitted so much.
We homeschool as well and read lots of books. I was so encouraged by this conversation with Rex. Really made me feel that what we are doing is the right thing. Do you pick the poems for your kids to memorize or do you use a resource for that?
@@BrunhildValkyrie i pick some and some come from curriculum. Institute of Excellence in Writing (IEW) has a great curriculum for poetry memorization and also we used a curriculum for writing by Susan Wise Bauer that contains dictation and poetry memorization.

sounds like Rex resents bombing competition..he has been doing it for years.
I love them both . They make me proud to be Canadian
With Justin Trudeau being the highest....
Drop the rock is one of the great peasant sports of medieval warfare. Finally a chance to fight back even if it’s against a neighboring nobility.
"Spine requires calcium and there's no milk at the CBC". LOL. Another epic one-liner to add to the Rex Murphy list.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️🙏 ~ true story!
Rex ,cherry , trailer park boys ,Stompin Tom, Rush . Legends .I've missed a few I apologize 😌
CBC where intelligence goes to die
They are so woke it’s sickening
I spit my tea out laughing when he nailed that one!
I'm the biggest Jordan Peterson fan and I really respect everyone he interviews, but it's a complete myth that calcium helps the bones... In fact people who consume high amounts of calcium experience more bone fractures.
"The petty fascism of wokeness". Mr. Murphy can turn a phrase with the best of them.
I'd argue that he is the best of them...
I'd argue your both as fu*ked as each other. ABC and BBC and new York Times all as fu*ked as each other also. They paid people too believe they were gathering money for me or representation and then nomiki sold what evidence she gathered too the new York Times so I believe there is no evidence.
@@tylercadman414 is this the only place you can find to cry about it?
38:15 Please timestamp. It's easy to overlook but we need it.
You don't get it..
these agendas are designed to drive you crazy.
This is not about ideology but about driving society apart.
Unless you're a part of a minority that benifits from these agendas, this will agitate to the point of frustration and anger.
The real purpose of these woke and cancel culture agendas.
Don't buy into it.
If you do..then your the fool.
Great to see someone brought up Catholic who appreciates his Catholic education and is grateful.
brainwashed into Catholicism from a child.
@@r0ky_M I don't think he's still Catholic. At least I didn't get that impression.
@Lee Grant then let me be more precise: I don't think he's still a practicing Roman Catholic. But I could be wrong.
Learned so much from this interview. Jotted notes to follow-up on writers and books. A million thanks!
I’ve never been strong academically, went to Technical College and now work in the trades. But I’ve been recently struck by Jordan’s podcasts for a hunger of a higher thought process. I won’t miss any of his content and am in search of more. Just bought Beyond Order and cannot wait to read it!
You are strong period, sir.
Someone following their right path...I admire you for it.
You are not alone. I passed on a university education and thank God for it.
I am an automotive technician. Many of us who went into the trades are fans of Dr Peterson. The woke world doesn't resonate with people who have to contend with reality. The culture war is going to get much worse before it is settled. It will be bloody.
Never too late to learn. I’m 64 and learning the most important and valuable things in my life!
Like a combustion engine
A poem's power
Comes from the compression of expression
A few words combined
Confined
Fusing meaning and emotion
Into an energy form
Known as a poem
Brilliant! Original??? I see no quotation marks. If so, that's excellent.
@@davidmartin7718 yes, it’s original. Thanks.
Love Rex, he is a national treasure
This term is overused.
@@SpirituallyTransformed eyeroll
The one true national treasure is Nicholas Cage.
I'm glad to hear that wisdom has not totally left this world. I've found it lonely pushing back against cultural wokeism by myself. I don't have a platform; mostly I fight with words. I won't back down from this plague. I just wish it didn't feel like a loosing battle. 😔
This was perhaps the best, most interesting, and fully enjoyable interview I have seen in a very, very long time. Thank you Mr. Peterson
"What is a university? It is a continuous conversation across the centuries". -Excellent observation! I am afraid that our woke educational institutions are deliberately stopping the conversation to take the power of reason away from our youth.
Indeed
All that happens in college is students do their best to cheat and lie to bear through the classes without learning a thing while playing with free money to do drugs and have sex. This is a kid who dropped out 4 months ago
It’s a shame to waste this time for enrichment and creative development on demonization and blame. Thank you Jordan and Rex. You both are a soothing balm in this abrasive society.
Stunning conversation.... This is giving me even more faith in "The Word." Thank you Dr. Peterson and Rex Murphy. ~ I'm so profoundly grateful for you both. Much Love to you and to all the people you love.
What a nice comment!
"I don't know how a free people have succumb so easily..." DECADENCE!, pure and simple.
Tell em' Bane.
Fascinating interview; thank you so much, Dr Peterson.
I'm watching this in the U.K., near Newcastle, and thinking about the state the West is in. I think it is partly down to our great relative wealth, apparent security and ease compared with what our forebears endured. A saying up here summarises it, as follows:
"Strong men make for good times.
Good times make soft men.
Soft men make for bad times.
Bad times need strong men ..."
Conversations like this are “a form of psychic breathing”, as Carol Gilligan puts it. When you come across something that speaks to your famished soul, you savour every word of it. This is food for some serious thought. It makes academics look like an integral part of life. It ceases to be an elite, esoteric pursuit. We need more of this. 👍
Listening to you two is like listening to a symphony.
A symphony of knowledge and wisdom.
There is an unseen conductor too.
@@JonRyanGlickly that is something worth “unpacking”
Great poetry and literature is not an infection but an immunization against weak and worthless thought. Thank you both for your great work.
"The Idiots on Twitter dropping low I.Q. Bombs from Great Heights!" Lmao the best damn description EVER!
The BEST
Twitter is a public restroom wall.
Twitter does have one utility: it reveals people for who they truly are.
“The commonalities of goals and values, not skin colours and ideologies”. Thanks Rex! Another brilliant insight into what we need to succeed.
Rex is a Canadian treasure. What he said about Glenn Greenwald is spot on, one of the last mainstream journalists with integrity.
Still praying for you, Dr. Peterson! Continued healing!! We need you!
Two great Canadians having a true intellectual discussion. Brilliant
We throw away so many things that are at our elbow, yet search in vein for things that are 20 miles away. - Rex 53:47
in vain. veins carry blood.
mmm. Version from another culture: "the musk ox searches the world for the source of the scent, which is its own body"
Absolutely brilliant!!! I am a woman of Indian origin and got my mba in finance in the US and I am now pursuing my 2nd career here in California getting my doctoral degree in psychology in my 40s; and I cannot tell you how frustrating it is for me to hear some the resentment in some of my peer cohort here at University of San Francisco. Honestly Dr. Peterson- if you start your own doctoral program I would love to study in your program because it is incredibly stifling to not be able to “think out loud” out of the fear of offending someone who gets offended on behalf on someone else in the name of them being an “ally”! It’s ludicrous and doesn’t promote true critical thinking! I’m concerned that these people will only get it when we are all in the Gulags 😰🤯
Why isn't this conversation played in every high school?
A verbal symphony of what magic comes from reading and studying the greatest minds, especially in literature, arts, phylosophy and history that ever lived and so be vicariously in their company mentally and the growth, good and pleasure that comes from that. Pity it's only nano particles of population that preserve it all. Too great a risk for mankind to lose it.
