  • Recorded on April 20, 2022, as part of a Classical Liberalism Seminar at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University.
    By any measure, Dr. Jordan Peterson is the most famous (now former-as is discussed in this interview) Canadian professor of clinical psychology in the world. He’s also a deep thinker and a best-selling author of multiple books, and has amassed a huge following through podcasts, UA-cam videos, and public speaking. Today, Jordan Peterson is one of the most influential voices in the “anti-woke” movement and this powerful interview demonstrates why.

    I’ll never understand how a large number of people disagree with and attack JP when his overriding message is “Make yourself a better person by looking after your own body and mind, because that will make you more capable of looking after those around you including your family, friends and the wider community”. His message changed my life and I imagine that of hundreds of thousands of others like me across the world. What’s not to agree with?

    As a Chinese, it hits me hard when Jordan said "a wealthy slave, that's no life man". Have been learning a lot about life from Jordan Peterson. Thank you sir.

    The last statement by Dr. Peterson. That is what every young adult needs to hear. Don't let the sins of your father (parents, ancestors, etc) become your own. You aren't a bad person. You can make this world a better place by placing responsibility on your shoulders. And by making that decision, you become indispensable in a world where everyone blames each other for their failures.

    Peter Robinson is the pinnacle of interviewing. His preparation, his ability to cut to the heart of the meter, represent the audience reaction, and to gently steer the conversation and then simply stay silent and allow his guest to speak is fantastic. He’s protestations of ignorance and stupidity are funny but, truly he is a master. Love his conversations and this one is a peach.

    Jordan Peterson is a treasure. It was great to see him interviewed by someone who wasn’t antagonistic and trying to put words in his mouth. Excellent discussion, and the very end hit much harder than I expected it to. His care and integrity are obvious.

    Peter Robinson's face at 33:47 is why we come back again and again to these interviews. Because he is just amazed and delighted and stunned by the excellence and clarity pouring out in front of him. No jealousy, no confusion, no bitterness, no desire to tear down. Just delight in another human being's clarity & brilliance.

    He always brings me to tears. I cry with him. I get angry with him. Learn from him and I constantly nod my head with him. It's like the light bulb inside my brain that is already on just gets more voltage and shines brighter very few do this, but then it's like my heart opens up to the inherent truth and that's just so mind-blowing because what he has done like it or not is confirmed that what I know to be true, what I feel to be true, what is actually true... IS TRUE and with the fundemtal removal of lingering doubt that has cursed so many of us, A seed sown by the one who wishes to undermine the very highest value and the deepest truth (call him what you wish he goes by many names) I'm once again set free by the truth which like many others I did not even know I had lost. Thank you JP and thank you for such an insightful, challenging, compelling and real interview. Wow.

    First time I came across Jordan Peterson. And I must say I am going to buy every one of his books because this man hits a home run on so many issues and quite frankly has a wealth of knowledge to share and all politicians should at least try to do their bit for society listen to this man.

  • @cmcgruder3829
    @cmcgruder3829 Рік тому +1232

    Wow, what an explosive last 2 minutes! It was so poignant and significant; I wish they could have explored that a bit more but it was nearing the end and it was the capstone to a solid conversation. It is so true that this society is putting into young people's heads that there's no point of even being here anymore, that "human beings are doing damage and have no inherent value", where the culture mocks a religious foundation. So young people are literally floating and wondering why they exist without learning the tools of being able to persevere when times are difficult.. We're seeing negative effects of that-- higher teen suicide rates and just a general existential crisis. Don't believe the lies! Your life is important and it comes from being the best person that you can be and not being ashamed of who you are and your successes or failures that you learn from. I'm so glad I discovered Hoover Institute and Peter Robinson and Jordan Peterson. Wish I had done so earlier in my life.

So I put those plans aside and gave my life to God saying look I can't make this work so here's my life. Make what you will of it. And I waited to die. Now I live in a tiny chateau, on a remote island. When I leave the place I drive a rare exotic roadster. No debt, no money. Good health, I've started down hill skiing again at 71. Make what you will of it.

    Wow, Jorden Peterson is a gift to humanity. I’m Canadian and in my 60’s. I am embarrassed to say that I have only recently been introduced to him. Incredibly because I saw a rant he did about Covid, so ironically I have Covid to thank. He is an incredible thinker and speaker. My impression is that he is the most unbiased person I’ve ever heard speak. He tells it the way it is, drawing from his incredible volume of knowledge and putting it together in such an understandable format that it’s generally infallible. Then people want to shoot the messenger and call him provocative or controversial. I guess that could be said, but only if one considers the truth and reality of “what is” as being provocative and controversial. Great interview! Great questions, great conversation. Wow. I have been enjoying listening to Jorden Peterson’s incredible mind, what a treat. The university and students loss is society’s gain. I would disagree with him when he expressed that if he hadn’t left his teaching position that his students would be at a disadvantage from getting hired, I beg to differ, I think that NOT getting hired by those people/companies would be a badge of honour for the student because those people/companies are not the quality ones that they should be working for. 👏👏👏👏💕

    Jordan Peterson is the sugar in the kitchen, on the top shelf but you have/need to stretch to reach it, you can’t be lazy and try to understand this man.
    So many people are reluctant to even try, this is a HUGE curse upon the world.

What a great interview this was, one of the best I've been blessed to see. And that's saying a lot, considering he's consistently brilliant in all he does.
