    Can we take a moment to appreciate how much Jordan admires John? It isn't very often you see this childlike awe from JP. He will often level himself with his guests, but it is rare that he actually subordinates himself like he's doing here. He's so giddy he can't be quiet haha. And it absolutely beautiful. 💚

      I learned more from listening to this conversation then I did in all of my undergrad, and I was a philosophy minor! The "educational" institutions stand mocking us all, took our money and guess what?!?!? We didn't all pick the wrong major. But the universities secretly replaced growth with a system that they knew would lengthen the adolescence phase. That's the opposite of what we would go into debt for.....but they didn't tell anyone, just kept it to themselves, meanwhile, they all KNOW that they are harming these young adults and crippling them for the rest of our lives: financially, emotionally, intellectually. It's not sustainable for a species to dumb a whole generation of itself down. Any place that disallows any speech should not be allowed to consider or call itself an educational institution. Mainly. Someone needs to make the proper argument for the students saddled with debt. The argument isn't that they charged us too much for the wrong degree. The argument is fraud. They frauded all students since they began this secret operational change for the worst, broke the contract and the education that all of us are paying for and were charged for, but it never once existed in those buildings. We would have only agreed to saddle ourselves with that level of debt if the outcome were more prepared young adults and more skilled and well taught and productive members of society. None of those things can be produced from the directive the universities are operating from. Which is to lengthen the adolescent phase of life for these young adults who trust the institutions to do the opposite. It is an egregious breach of contract and fraud but also a breach of social contract with the society at large, which the universities seemed to have happily waged a war, to watch, from students, who are brainwashed to be grievanced. They are not concerned with teaching anything. They are sleeping at night when they know they are tapping our most precious resource, the next generation.

      I think the interruptions are partly due to Jordan's confidence in John's understanding of the subject matter and his abilities to guide the discussion without hindrance despite his interjections.
      Upon revisiting this conversation after many months, Jordan's participation still appears/feels perfunctory until you see that John is "dancing" with him.

    The whole conversation is a perfect illustration of the dialogical nature of thought that John started out by discussing. This is the first time I've seen Dr P so excited. I think it's first of all because they're old friends and second because they're both intensely focused on the same general topic -- thought/consciousness/the reality outside our thinking - from slightly different angles. They were feeding off each other and each was carrying his own thinking forward through the other one's input. If this is what academia looks like in practice, I've misjudged it all my life! It was exciting to see two fine minds thinking out loud together.

I am afraid that many "modern" academics are too woke and easy offended to be able to defend their position in the way John and Jordan just have.
      Just look at how climate alarmists will not debate those with opposing thoughts, or anyone opposing the covid official narrative is closed down, smeared and slandered, where things are not allowed to be discussed and debated, just "defended" with argumentum ad hominen.

      I’ve been around people that were using cocaine while I was not. Conversations in that situation sounded very similar. The cocaine user usually comes off as in a state where they think what’s going on in their head is all that matters at the time. For someone in Peterson’s position he should have the capacity for sufficient self reflection to get this fixed. Aside from being distracting it is unproductive since no ideas get finished. I say, cocaine or he thinks he’s depressed but is really an undiagnosed manic-depressive and this is what a manic state looks like.

I think there is a deep mutual firing of ideas rather a constant interruption, but we cannot see that very well because we don’t know their relationship. I think they know well each other and the conversation is taking a form that is more private rather than public.

      It was absolutely insufferable, especially since the essence of the conversation was John teaching Jordan, and he wouldn't let him do so. As with everyone, he's his own worst enemy - he's far too enamored with himself, his ideas, his "wit", his voice, etc... It's one thing to interrupt briefly for clarification or to add something, but usually it was just a complete tangent or, worse, a shitty joke about t shirts.
      My saddest observation about Peterson is not that he's "wrong" about things but that he doesn't believe in his ideas enough. If he took his ideas to their true logical conclusion, he'd be considerably more content (which might help with his health issues) as well as more likeable. John appears, at a glance, to be someone who is immeasurably further ahead in his path than Jordan - he has patience, understanding, compassion, graciousness etc..., rather than everything being a big competition.

    This is a rare conversation in which Jordan is more of a student than a teacher, interviewer, or host. I think that’s why he interrupts so often: he’s trying to metabolize John’s ideas with his own understanding, in real time and out loud, and he’s doing that in small chunks.
    Remember when Jordan says, “It’s horrifying AND great to talk to someone who knows a whole bunch of things I don’t know at all,” and right at the end, “It’s always nice to find someone who disagrees with your work, who could help correct it. That’s why I want to talk to you.” You can tell John is planting a lot of seeds (and new vocabulary) in Jordan’s mind.
    I’ve listened to all of John’s “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis” series and many hours of his dialogues with other people-I’m positive he’s not offended by the interruptions. Like John says near the end, “We’re just friends talking; this is like Tai Chi,” and later he uses words like “affection” and “respect” to refer to their dynamic. John’s always humble and gracious. For anyone who wants to hear him uninterrupted for hours, go check out his UA-cam channel-it’s phenomenal.

      Nothing wrong with enjoying the pleasures of God's creation. Their is a significant difference between the real person and a reflection in the mirror. Realizing that God's creations are not the subject of worship but like a photograph or picture of even a loved one is only temporary.
      This world is like an apple that will eventually fall from the tree, and after a while eventually rot away. The same for our physical bodies. That's very clearly understood.
      Yet we have as the Bible states an eternal soul.
      It's by faith that we come to believe.
      Note that we were given free will by the grace of God, and are free to choose.
      The Bible also says , The Lord God proclaimed that My ways are not your ways.
      Thus the reason we sometimes struggle.
      No one can force you to love them back.
      Even in the direct relationships we sometimes maintain amongst ourselves are subjected to a false sense of worship towards others which almost always become problematic.
      Peace and Love
      God bless you.

      Excellent. And (if I may) I think the experience you're describing there is more than just "appreciating God's creation". It's the realization that you yourself are part of that creation.
      That Oneness is very desirable, very positive, even "loving"...and I often wonder if that feeling comes from "God" or from our joyous relief at being freed from our everyday obsession with _philea nikea_ (knowledge with an eye towards victory/problem solving), and instead accepting...just being.

    I love having conversations like this..sadly, its hard to find people who understand how to have a discussion and not a debate. Many times people turn the discussion into a contest of "whos right and whos wrong" or they assume your trying to flaunt your intelligenece, instead of understanding the discussion should edify each other solely for the purpose of relating experiences, wnjoying each other's knowledge and coming closer to truth. At best, most people are only interested in what they have to say and as your speaking they are already formulating a rebuttal instead of actually building on the foundation of the discussion.. because of thisbi often find myself discussing deep matters with myself..its like playing mind chess with yourself..playing the offense and defense...

      Meeks;. Very good point. Conversations that respect various perspectives usually are simply searching for truth in a reasonable way.
      Respect simply means ; to listen. Take Jesus's method of delivery to people he encountered who had doubts. He showed great patience and extreme understanding, yet confident in his message often using parables to get a point across. Many Christians fall into a Caiaphas type syndrome of arrogance.
      I think it's important that we always stay grounded and focused on the objective. Which is to Love.

    Amazing conversation, Peterson is on fire here, invigorated with some force which I can scarcely identify. John rises to the challenge, keeping pace with the wild, untamed, excited mind of Peterson in a way that seems almost super human itself. These two giants, wrestling their complicated ideas in opponent processing with one another is a joy to watch. Not only is the talk an excellent example of proper dialogos, but it is also full of really deep tidbits of information relating to the works of each intellect.
    What emerged here for me is the increased depth for each of them in exploring each others ideas and their own. It is a tour de force of intellectual advancement. I see both of them as having reached new levels of understanding and appreciation for works from the past, works of each other and their own works and thoughts. Sadly, it likely takes an already substantial understanding of both of their corpora to understand.
