      The Holy Ghost pours out his Spirit and brings the increase in the name of Jesus. The latter rain proceeds the second coming and it is what waters the seed. Without the Spirit of God no one is saved. Believe in your idea of Jesus till the end of time, it does little good. You need to accept his ambassador and representative. So when the Holy Spirit shows himself and is rejected that is the unpardonable sin. To grieve the Spirit of God is to reject life.
      The supreme witness of Jesus Christ (King David) is reporting for duty.
      He was a man whose tongue held no lies,
      For he was the direct descendant of our father in the heavenly skies.
      Born to a body of fleshy sin,
      Though what laid beneath was unlike the rest of his kin.
      Jesus had the utmost grace,
      Never being wavered by evils face.
      He was wise beyond any years,
      Performing miracles that would bring crowds to tears.
      A beacon of light on top of a starless mountain,
      Where words of wisdom poured out of him as if there ran a cosmic fountain.
      His eyes pierced through you with a single glance,
      Leaving even the most hardened individuals in quite the trance.
      The Holy Spirit so ever majestically flowed inside this man,
      Naturally people caught notice and became a fan.
      Students began showing up from every mold,
      When they heard his words their hearts were sold.
      Wicked men put a price on Jesus's head,
      He was wanted alive or dead.
      Despite this he and his disciples continued their teachings,
      Where on occasion they endured terrible beatings.
      One of the twelve apostles turned to black,
      No longer having Jesus's back.
      Judas Iscariot had done Satan's bidding,
      And it is in hell where he now is sitting.
      Jesus died on the cross to pay for our shortcoming,
      However don't be saddened for if you believe in him you will see him at your homecoming.
      There he sits at the right hand of God's throne,
      Being the voice of truth and love that we all have known.
      Satan's tongue is coated in a layer of deceit,
      And he tramples over promises with his feet.
      He's a being who is bound by deceptions,
      Whose very essence oozes with misconceptions.
      He struggles to look you in your eyes,
      For his gaze holds nothing but lies.
      On occasion he will give you his hand,
      But don't be fooled by his stand.
      He seeks to corrupt your heart,
      You would be wise to avoid him from the start.
      Seeking quick pleasures and casting aside love,
      He traverses this land with push and shove.
      Now Lucifer was once not lost,
      But pride blinded him at a cost.
      Disobeying God he waged war,
      Becoming detestable to the core.
      Today he is the ruler of Earth,
      Though for all his power he has no real worth.
      However most of us have still been sold,
      Giving into sin and becoming cold.
      Nearly everyone is a puppet dancing on strings,
      Marching to delusion for their unjust kings.
      My people have given into lust,
      Becoming robots full of rust.
      However you my child are the exception,
      So when you meet me don't forget to mention.
      That you alone have been granted the key,
      And before your glory they shall all bend a knee.
      P.S.- Not too long ago I was very bitter and destructive. Literally I was covered in blood from head to toe and ripping off nails and things of that nature. In my mind Jesus was against me, he had a vendetta against me which I couldn't account for. Then slowly but surely I started having these revelations, and began delving into the word of God. It seemed like my agony was not in vain. The things which held me back eventually began to propel me forward. The darkness began fading away and an unspeakably bright light was surfacing. Jesus told me that he had to break me in order for me to rediscover who I really was. Sort of like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Today I am almost fully healed in every conceivable way, and things like being a virgin and being covered in scars I strangely enough take much pride in. I took up my cross and followed Christ and in doing so I discovered the greatest love of all.

      So if I quote or repeat something I can cite the source or sources and how many citations.
      Not every video stance is the same in one interview he said he would view any data saying there is no differences in male and female brains. There are, but I agree with his findings on IQ & personality. Men and women are very similar there, but where the differences are can be found at the ends of the spectrums.

      Unlike many modern day 'manufactured crisis', this was indeed a true moral dilemma. If we do nothing Hitler could potentially take over the World. Yet, since we did something, Hitler was defeated. Yet a crack of doom was opened when we achieved the atomic bomb. I think this was an unjust war since many Japanese had perished in the blast. Yet there does not seem to have been any other way than a 'just war'.
      I am reminded of Matthew 19:6 New King which states, "So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” I suppose the same could be said of the atom -- what God has joined together, let not man separate.

    I took a class in psychology in collage and found it very fascinating. I'm now a retired Aerospace Machinist but have raised canines mostly gundogs for over 52 years as well as over 270 species of other animals, including many endangered species. I have found puppies must have physical play and learn a pecking order. We always see that a single pup in the litter does not learn to control their bite strength or how rough the play and turn out to be "terror nippers" and starving for hyper play. They play bite hard and bite your hands often drawing blood. The problem is if humans try to correct the problem, the pup will more likely than not bond properly or want to please their human pack leader. The mother can help sometimes, but the pup may just avoid playing with her. Nothing works better than placing a single pup in with other pup/s around the same size or slightly larger than they are. Fortunately, pups with littermates learn early on how to control their bite by the time they are weaned. but I have found that all single raised pups without rough play with other pups will always have problems with bite strength. The more littermates the better their bite control and the more well-adjusted and pack socialized they will be.

I literally shudder when I imagine how I might have raised him without the insights you’ve given me into the biological, social, and emotional developmental needs of boys.

I noticed this lack of competition for him so i made sure he got lots of playground play, put him in every sport he wanted to try. Sent him to camp. Kept cousins close. He came out fairly balanced. He does have some only child issues but he is vastly different than other "only" children I've observed. Our school culture has got to stop pushing our boys down. Give them outlet.

    I was born 8 weeks premature in 1985 with many problems (placental abruption, hernias, respiratory distress, etc) and I would spend the first 18mo of my life in and out of oxygen tents at the hospital. My mother swears up and down that I got better when a nurse there stayed overnight after her shift "burping" me to assist my breathing, during the Christmas holiday.

      Homeschooling scares me. I don’t want trained kids no matter how you slice it. Many children will fight for their lives anyway. I would never have endured being homeschooled. My mom was my 5th grade teacher though. I remember her helping me with homework zero times in my entire life. I didn’t need any, but I might have respected her if I thought she was smart and cared about me. Her generation only cared about a girls reputation 😂
      I’m a mom now. It would be so depressing to me if I could just be like, ‘oh, I’m homeschooling now’ and my kids went along with it. Some people are incapable of being broken and completely domesticated. They won’t go against every grain of their nature, they will not be robbed of their freedom, beliefs, and autonomy by anyone. Yes, I believe you mean well, but if you RAISE your kids and teach them common sense, critical thinking, current events, philosophy, religion, some history etc. They can go to school almost anywhere. You raise them, but not for a livestock show. Let the government have a shot at them. You’re the one who teaches them what’s important
      You probably have more homogeneous genetics and culture in your family. Oh, I would’ve given anything to have grown up in a small town and not on the border. I might be capable of showing off about having good little calves

However the way you are phrasing it has a creepy undertone. Why? Because you are implying something very dark by omission. And it's this..

    I was a mother who wanted my sons to grow without knowing anything about guns or war. We did love dinosaurs, though. One day at the park, my little one 'saw' a carnotaur behind the bushes and sounded the alarm. His older brother instinctively raised a stick, pointed it like a gun towards the 'threat' and shouted, "Go! Go go go go!"
    He didn't even know that guns went "bang". Hadn't seen Jurassic Park or any television at all. This was my wake up call, both to the immense knowledge potential stored somewhere inside boys and to its defensive utility. Boys are brilliant when we just let them be.

    I'm an introverted only child. Yep, you guessed it, my skills at conflict resolution are almost non-existent.
    I wasn't big on having friends over as a small child and only occasionally spent meaningful time with my cousins. As even a small child, i always preferred the friendship of boys, I didn't have conflict with them like I did with girlfriends.
    It was while contemplating whether to have a single child with my husband that I really began to analyse my own situation.
    I had grown up, occasionally berating my parents for making me an only child... Only to realise while still quite young, that I only ever actually desired an older brother (LoL), I had not desire for a younger sibling, nor a sister of any age. I figured that what I wanted was an additional 'protector figure' and a peer to look up to. Even as an adult I regularly form deep friendships with men and refer to them as 'my brother'. I actually married one of them!! There must be a pathology in there🤣 I should also mention that my father died shortly after I turned 17, this cannot be a coincidence.
    Anyway, I had already become aware of my weakness in conflict, including resolution and taking those times of conflict personally while struggling to let them go. When discussing these things with my Mum (relating to her relationship with her 3 brothers) and my husband and his relationship with his brother, it was not difficult to draw the connection to being an only child. When we did eventually have a single child ourselves, I based the decision to not have more on his personality and willingness to be social. He, like me despite being introverted, was confident in talking to adults, even those he didn't really know (even as a toddler!) He was confident and chatty, plus did not become anxious when left alone, so I simply (probably far too simply) resolved to ensure he had maximum opportunities to socialise with peers and attended play groups at the first opportunity and always insisted on team sports rather than individual sports.
    He is now 18, he is clearly introverted, but open and friendly, so I think I did ok.

    This was such an eye-opening discussion. I definitely have masculine traits but aggression was never one of them. It's insanely difficult for me to tap into that part of myself for more than a minute or two, especially in a healthy way. Looking back, I had very little opportunity for rough play as a kid.
    Also, my kids' school is the same when it comes to letting the kids play. No more snowballs, no more dodgeball. My kids just told me this week that if they want to play baseball they have to use a tee with a really soft ball. And no bat. You smack the ball with your hand. Are you kidding me!?

    Hi Dr. Peterson, I have been watching your content for about a year now and this episode is definitely one of my favorites! :) I think I have some feedback that hopefully, you can consider to improve the viewer experience and grow the channel:
    1. According to my observation I think you have a tendency to cut other people when they're talking when the discussion gets really interesting (both for you and the viewers), especially when the other person is someone that you are a big fan of. I'm sure you saw all the comments in the Richard Dawkins episode talking about this too. I reckon you did better here compared to the Dawkins episode, but still, there were times when I wish Frans de Waal had more time to speak! I also think this happens because sometimes the discussion gets very technical that it is hard to follow for the general public, and when the guest is trying to take time breaking down the technical things to simpler terms for the general audience, you hopped in before he even gets the chance to finish explaining! Of course, in your perspective, this would've been the natural thing to do (we've all been in similar situations before) but it does make the topic a little hard to follow at times.
    2. Recently I saw the channel uploading >2 podcast contents in a span of < 1 week. since the podcast is 1.5 - 2 hrs long it became challenging to catch up with all the content you have! Very unfortunate especially when the discussion is as fascinating as this one! Hence, I think that's why this talk gets lesser views than what the typical podcast episode could've garnered.
    But then again, this is just feedback from 1 audience that might not represent the general public. All in all, thanks for the very insightful talk as always!

    It's really interesting what is being said about rough and tumble play and the higher energy levels in boys. I have worked for some time in different schools as homework tutor. I observed that the boys in particular had a great need to let off steam physically in the short break between the end of the lesson and homework supervision. It seemed like they were draining all their energy in those short five minutes and didn't know what to do with it. I also observed that they were massively unfocused and physically restless during care. I knew that in general they hardly have any room to move and that the games mentioned are severely suppressed. So I decided to disregard the stupid rules of suppressing brawls and exercise and always let them work out in the playground for 15 minutes before the supervision, with lots of exercise and competition. In addition, I shortened the two hours of homework time to one hour and gave them the other hour for pure movement and play, in a free way (they mostly played football). They felt different, calmer, more concentrated, relieved. If the children were given more space for free play and exercise, if they interfered little and if they were given a good, low-sugar diet, many of today's problems (ADHD, increasing obesity in children) would be solved one hundred percent. I remember how in my day that was the exception rather than the rule. So there's definitely something wrong and it's homemade.

Both of these little boys, second siblings to a girl, are very socially awkward and several years behind in their development. There is extreme negative sibling rivalry. The boys are very consistently punished for boy like behavior, even when it might actually be appropriate. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this phenomenal.

      A lot of women in my family would enjoy putting a makeup on me & do other stuff women like to do.
      It's just how women play.
      My father & men in my family are totally the opposite.
      Men will teach you survival stuff & climbing trees & boxing & playing chess & do electrical & plumbing.....
      So it's combination of your genetics & upbringing.
      If you are genetically more submissive, the parents should teach you to be more aggressive.
      I was a shy kid, and it was extremely stupid that my mom was trying to make me more shy.
      I am glad my dad balanced a bit.
      It's good to teach an agressive kid to be more shy & sensitive.
      But we cannot do that to all kids.
      But it's what the education/parents are trying to do.
      It's just stupid & dangerous to make a submissive kid more submissive

      I grew up with two older sisters, on a small farm. In my opinion, my needs or wants were always considered last, if at all. The proverbial "man up, and do it yourself" attitude was unilaterally employed by both of my parents. To their defense, they never laid a hand on me unless I deserved what I got... As a child, I hated it. It felt like I didn't matter, or that I wasn't wanted. In addition to the tactics of my sisters to make sure any wrongdoing blame was placed on me, by them teaming up.
      This resulted in me being extremely reclusive, introverted, and sensitive, with a hyper-developed sense of justice. And made me able to read body language and tonality like breathing.
      As a man, though. I am grateful for the absolute independence and deep interpersonal wisdom that instilled in me. I do not need the approval of others, I get my value and meaning internally. I can't be pushed around. I will not tolerate malevolent, weak, or stupid people. You grow up quick, when you grow up tough. And in my experience? The best of people, have the worst of lives. Guys do thrive in rough environments.
      Raising a young boy myself, I've discovered a few things about how to foster a stellar relationship, as well as provide the subtle nurturing needed. Certainly don't claim to have it all figured out though! And watching Jordan sure has helped me in this too, Lol...
      Young men need clear boundaries, first and foremost. The opportunity to figure things out themselves, without being told the answers. (AKA, a healthy learning environment) A proper challenge, to keep them interested and engaged. (Not too hard, not too easy) A profound understanding of basic morality. Clearly explained punishments, for breaking the rules. (Explain why they are being disciplined, and how they can avoid it in the future.) And a positive reinforcement approach in regards to everyday life. We guys typically respond better to working towards a reward, rather than trying to avoid a punishment.
      You do need to employ abit of the "man up" rhetoric, but only in so much as to reduce the teasing they would receive if they are deemed weak by their peers. Men only like other men they can respect. And noone respects a crybaby or a pushover.
      Finally, make SURE you listen closely to what they say. And ask lots of questions about what they think, and feel about the goings on around them! Spending quality time with them, is often all that is truly desired. One on one. Feeling appreciated, and like they are heard, and understood.
