Jordan Peterson on Christ, the Crowd, and René Girard

Back in 2018, David Gornoski caught up with the then rising psychologist Jordan Peterson right on the release day of his bestselling book ’12 Rules for Life.’ The two had an interesting conversation on political correctness, the Left’s fetish for victimization, his book, and René Girard.

Finally an interview I haven’t seen

[@luqkuh]

After being exposed to some of Girard's work this piece of content is EXACTLY what I was searching for. Pleased to say the least.

[@Ykpaina988]

I was actually just wondering if Jordan had anything to say on Girard

[@megancyloneight9822]

It didn't appear as such, did it? Click bait for Girardians.

[@pedramghozat]

sounded like he learned something about GIrard

[@matsten]

Got me lol

[@mckeruzaapaugari]

This amazing - thank you… 🙏🏻

[@sentilopis]

16:43 the “testing” for sacrifices part was really insightful. Work still needs to be done to select a proper sacrifice, distasteful as it is.

[@mcosu1]

Was that Rene Girard reference?

[@Ykpaina988]

Owen Benjamin that’s the name I was trying to remember ! The huge pianist !

394 People watched this interview
Which strikes me as Maybe the most important synthesis on UA-cam
The algorithms are The tools of the the mimetic crowd in that way
What is most valuable does not become viral

[@davidgornoskifanfavorites]

It had well over a hundred thousand before it was deleted on UA-cam. But you’re right.

[@PSBosses]

@@davidgornoskifanfavorites why it was deleted?

[@emmamooradian7227]

Finding common ground through literary theories is one thing but the interviewer missed the opportunity to represent mimetic theory's serious criticism of psychoanalysis.

[@lesliecunliffe4450]

Please help me to loc ate Girard's critique of psychoanalysis. Which book is it in?

[@henkkelderman4182]

Too bad one of the mikes is so dysfunctional.

[@archtura7276]

Jordan has been confronted with Girard in interviews before, and he says he's familiar, but he's obviously not

[@mikeybustamante6627]

I think Jordan is very familiar with Girard, but refuses to accept that sacrificing one’s self as a means to keep cultural order is one of Girard’s points. He seems obsessed with combining the philosophy of Nietzche and Dostoyevsky to make this weird overly symbolic representation of Christianity as to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and make something of yourself. Jordan, Christ was a carpenter. Not a tech billionaire.
