*_"Not engaging in a stupid war is a nice start"_*
It’s a bit late for that, the minor wars have been won and lost by all sides but the final war is on the horizon and the ultimate prize is their for all contenders to take on a much more even balanced battle ground.
@@zlatkovuckovic6443 what? word soup..
land word soup? What this mean. No I’m 57 years old and my mother who is 87 lived through WW2 and she told me one thing that you young people could learn, “nobody believed a War would happen; this was 1939 in Europe: the cradle of civilisation!
Starting to look like he spoke too soon. Trump’s about to remedy his only positive.
Baby Boto yes things can turn very quickly, in a trade war a term widely used these days! and what do you have, cultural identities willing to risk all to gain control of the things that substain their comfortable lifestyle. Their are no stupid WARS.
Its incomprehensible that someone like Jordan Peterson could be banned from speaking.
I don't think so...it's quite comprehensible...he speaks in a calm convincing manner, using facts, that DO make you rethink about things that you were told to be true, and really encourages people to think for themselves with logic and even getting to know the other side of things and then making up your own mind...put all this together and you have the worst enemy to the overlords that have an agenda all about creating a hive mind of drones that repeat blindly the mantras that they told them to...
@@chaudx There is definitely a desire by those who own MSM to dumb down society
Where has he been banned from speaking?
Yeah, it’s like banning Mr Rogers
Jordan can be banned from speaking in the same way and for the same reasons Zar Nicholas and his family were murders and the Soviet Union was plunged into 70 years of socialism, murder and corruption.
Watching this in 2021 and laughing at the contrast between Jordan's hopes in 2018 for the future, and reality for the past year+. Peace.
I love Dr. Peterson because of the fact he can talk politics, religion, psychology, and motifs for life without bringing emotion into it and speaks with logic. We need more men like him!
Flawed logic. His commentary is spurious spin.
@Nick Yankee PLEASE !!🤣
@Nick Yankee Nah, your level of ignorance isn't worth the effort.
Though I think it’s sad to watch his obvious and rapid mental decline. He talks about how males should retake the masculine role in society yet he sobs like a sissy at the drop of a hat when he’s challenged on his theories. This is the strong male role model men are supposed to look up to,?
Even when he debated with the gay Steven Fry he descended into an effeminate mess of tears and Fry said afterwards that Jordan asked him for a hug and a “deep tissue” massage. I’m that sense he is certainly a “man’s man”.
Lol, “without bringing emotion into it” that is hilarious.
Haven’t you watched his chats with Steven Fry and others ?
He becomes a sobbing mess right in front of them and talks about his “pain”.
His obvious rapid mental decline and his embarrassing decline into femininity are just difficult to watch.
Physician heal thyself!
1960: there will be flying cars in 60 years
2020: this syrup is racist
LOL! That's about it...
Grow up.
Bryson Reins Yep, CANCELED! Everything is racist now if you ask the radical left.
Bryson Reins That’s communism. Rewrite history, attack religion, tear down statues, rename buildings and streets, censorship, etc..
@@guthrie1181 It has nothing to do with communism. Communism is the theoretical classless society where the state doesn't exist and production is owned by the workers themselves. It has never existed in history. What you're describing is just regular authoritarianism - which has happened in every authoritarian nation regardless economic ideology since the dawn of history. The Romans, ancient Chinese, Persians, etc all used to whitewash history books and criticize their predecessors whenever a new group of people came into power. It's believed that a lot of atrocities attributed to bad emperors in those countries were just made up by later people (eg. Christian writers falsely exaggerating the Roman's brutality against Christians).
I have to admit. I appreciate that Trump didn't start another stupid war.
He laid off soldiers in Iraq and Avghan and replaced them with private armies. He is also creating chaos in foreign affairs with his people like Grenell who was kicked out of Germany. Trumps a fucking moron, how this can idiot can become the president of the US is beyond me.
Yeti
@@Marubi2 he opposed the Iraq war in the first place, then called out Obama stupidity for Barry Hussein TELLING the Islamists when US troops were going to be moved out , ISIS formed in the resulting vacuum. ever since JFK was killed, Democrats have done nothing but betray the west's allies, with the current ones actively helping those who seek to destroy the constitution and finish off free market economy within the states.
the only time the media and Hillary said anything positive about him was when he launched rockets into Syria

"What I'm hoping for is a return to normative incompetence among politicians. That would be really nice."
Don't hold your breath.
"Moderate left, moderate right, reasonable discussion", that would certainly be nice.
thats a friend of mine and I. he leans left, i lean right but we can share a great dialogue without starting a heated discussion
@@Lem0nsquid exactly!
I still prefer seeing Ben shapiro destroying the far left but that sounds nice too.
Basically, I think if you can come out as friends or can be respectful to each other to an extent would be a win. Because no matter what, the same liberal VS. conservative arguments we have now will continue long after we are dead. So we might as well not sweat it as much. Don't let it ruin friend ships. I have a friend who is a bit more moderate to conservative but we share great conversation and share perspective. Because it's either yours a bigot conservative or a blue haired raging liberal. Or a whiney uneducated liberal or a Racist, apathetic conservative. When most people are able to state their political bias and just move on. Or just converse as friends.
@@engineergaming5989 Ugh. I really hate this whole idea of conservative guys shuts up liberals or Conservative prick shut down by blah blah blah. At some point it just cringy or tiring. Ben Shapiro makes some good points, but I'm tired of people (not assuming you are, your your own person) finding politic figures to be some kind of god or rock star. That's how I feel about Ben and that's how I feel about Greta T.
Jordan is one of the most sensible people I've seen in my lifetime. Expertly pisses off both sides of the spectrum.
Shaun Somma the truth does this to people who play political games instead of working for their people that they don’t represent. I love that honesty is something people still respect. This guy is smart but more important he’s always a great example of how to be true to yourself and he has the decency to not just talk shit and be a parrot for anyone who is childish and angry regardless of “side”
It depends on the topic. He says a lot of provocative things and makes most of his good points in ways that are easily misunderstood by people on both sides of whatever issue he's talking about pretty often. Other times he's flat out wrong, or makes a nonsensical argument, and often the data/research he uses to make claims is insufficient, hence why so many people call him a hack.
He tends to use buzzwords like "radical left" but never clarifies what he actually means, so people make assumptions, which are usually wrong. Usually when he says the word radical, he's talking about authoritarian perspectives, like restricting free speech, which has nothing to do with right or left. It just so happens that people who claim to be left are the ones he's disagreeing with at the time, because there's a vocal minority that pushes for such things. He also tends to ignore the radical positions of those on the right, which makes him appear more biased than he probably is in actuality.
Personally, I think that's pretty far from sensible, regardless of his actual stance on things (usually his actual stance IS pretty sensible, but he goes around provoking others).
Matt just like you did on his UA-cam video. Typical leftist racist fuck face spouting off from the mouth as if repeating what they read about trump from a coffee shop drinking a star bucks coffee enjoying internet and peace of mind knowing your perfectly safe as you are and if you shit out of your mouth. Whelps. You won’t be killed for speaking your mind.
However your very party you so cling to life for is in fact against open and free speech. They are for the eradication of rights purely in name of the majority. Ironically it’s not even the majority that stands to gain by anything the left says or does.
Your points are weak and your failure to not look inward and fix your own parties problems before you dare to speak up against another shows the public the types of people whom catered to the extremely socialist views of the current Democratic Party.
Not really. Your average republican will align with most everything he has to say. The alt-right loves and hates him but who gives a fuck about what such an insignificant group of people think.
@@snakevudo9311 I have an idea why don't we not have party names and just have men running for office?

Jordan Peterson: Normally Incompetent
"Normative incompetence" How wonderful and accurate .
Gotta give it to Peterson, he has a realistically low set of expectations for politicians.
him and trump have something in common, they bend over for the SmallHat tribe
@@Afflictamine the fuck are you talking about?
@@darthdarthbinkss He's referring to JBP taking the 'ticket' for career success.
@@r.c.miller6161 oh look another badly scripted bot.
@@pendleeldnep Well to be fair he's not entirely wrong. I don't agree on the hysterical "war against his own citizens" part but the Trump administration's reaction to the pandemic certainly leaves much to be desired.
As Jordan so correctly put it: "hopefully, we can return to "normal incompetence" as opposed to the radical incompetence we have now. Wow, what a thing to say about our political system.
I think he meant it toward any political system: he indicates that there is a certain degree of corruption in any political system.
Yes, I caught that turn of a phrase, too. Sums it up pretty well.
Especially when you look at what the hair brained are doing in opposition.
M.A.G.A..... TRUMP 2020
I have to humbly disagree about "radical incompetence". I f you look back over the last 40(maybe more) years, BOTH parties are executing the SAME agendas, those of the elite globalists/ cor-pirates.
Interesting proposition on the role of government: its main goal should be ‘cause the least harm possible’ . It shouldn’t concern itself with doing the right thing but avoiding the wrong thing.
Plays nicely off of Winston Churchill's "democracy is the worst form of government - except for all the others!" I definitely agree the best thing you can hope to expect from government is to do the least amount of damage possible. Anything better than that is a bonus. The Founding Fathers realized this - which is why they crafted three branches with checks and balances on each other.
Have you shadow-blocked jmb4? If so, please explain.
"how do you judge the sucess of an american president ?.

I was never a conservative but I am defined as such these days... So be it
Welcome and we need to get rid of the far left so we can get back to the bargaining table
Luke The far left really is very contained and not that developed. Many people are liberals with clear social rights policies, and some radical ones.
N Nocturnal welcome
yup
@Luke right of stalin? obiously everyone right of stalin would be a fascist haha
I love this guy he is so well spoken it’s always good to get it outside view
whats the alternative
Nothing wrong with being conservative or leftest but being nice to one anotherseems to be gone
The two party system is a mirage. Our democracy is illusory.
We are being deliberately infantilized and I fear our ends lie in sheep-like stasis, consuming ourselves into apocalypse out of the bones of a dying world.
We must stop attacking straw men and awaken from this media forcefed stupor. Only then will the obfuscation subside and the true enemy be seen.

Leftism is toxic and is not the same thing as being a liberal.
x classic liberalism is good when needed. Leftism was never needed
Liberals and leftists are not the same just like Conservatives and neo nazis are not the same.
1:22 Very true. A lot of people threw their vote to Trump because they couldn't stomach Hillary.
I agree 100% on that point. Trump didn't "win." Hillary lost. Pure and simple.
I consider myself fairly liberal, but even I voted Trump
That was the dumbest mistake I’ve ever seen - Clinton’s entitlement to the presidency was WAY too blatant...
I literally couldn't stomach either of them and probably won't be able to vote for a 1st party in 2020 unless Trump loses the primary or the Democrats calm the heck down. I am of the position that Liberals and Conservatives both suck and that they both spout their own forms of hatred and stupidity that only serve to increase discriminatory behavior and attitudes.
Blargity Blarg Blarg
There's some truth in that. Both parties are pretty unhinged at the moment.
Fast forward to Jan 6th 2021 and see how polarised the polarisation became and how things go over the edge of sanity so
quickly .
I would like an update on this.
The simple fact that this man was banned and protested from college campuses, shows how crazy the extremists have become in America. If you don't like what he has to say, don't go to the venue he is speaking at. But my gosh, he seems a very reasonable person.
One of the big things that pisses me off about Trump is that he pushes people away from voting right wing.
He lost this election far more than Biden won it. People voting for Biden were voting against Trump, and Trump's attention seeking has been like a smokescreen for the radical right and left to maneuver politically.
Basically, Trump can fuck off in my opinion. He basically accelerated the process that you're speaking of on college campuses, making it even harder to dissent in favor of conservatism, or at least bringing liberalism and conservatism into balance on college campuses.
@@hellomate639 there never has been a balance od liberal and conservatisim on college campuses
@@variablevolume3059 It's getting worse, and Donald Trump reduced the credibility of conservatism to center-left academics, making it even easier for the radical left to take over universities.
That's what I really hate about Trumpism. He not only is anti-conservative in that he discredits the institutions that he's supposed to embody, but by doing things like that he discredits conservatism as a whole to the people that we most desperately need to convince of the value of conservatism.
And I don't mean to say that in a way that conservatism is inherently better: I think center left and center right is a great boundary for great ideas to be developed, and right now we're nowhere close to that, and worst of all, a lot of conservative principles have little attention in American politics, like aesthetics. I.e. see Roger Scruton's work.
I am registered as an independent, but I'm contemplating registering as a Republican sooner than later so that I can vote against Trump in the Republican primary in 2024, should he campaign to run again.
@@hellomate639 im no Trumper. But many college campuses are far left. That is just a fact
@@variablevolume3059 I am not disagreeing with you in the slightest. Many college campuses are indeed super far left, and Trump is assisting in making that problem worse.
"What I'm hoping for is a return to normative incompetence among politicians. That would be really nice." LMFAO. Peterson sure knows how to deliver a backhanded compliment!
More like insult.
@@sylviaplath8263 i agree with that and i gotta say the fig tree section from the bell jar gets me every time
People who love him seem to not understand him so often times. He is no Trump supporter, that's for sure.
My daughter would call that passive aggressive. I prefer backhanded compliment.
@@kirkmulder1599 yes he's not because Ben Shapiro knows Donald trump isn't the best either. Donald trump is seemingly progressive and he has only pandered to christians while saying homosexuality is fine. Donald trump isn't the greatest man. I was 13 when I knew of him as a politician which is the only position I have seen him in 2016 since I saw of course polarizing teachers disliking him I think I voted for him because I thought it would be funny to make fools angry and I was a class clown the jester the troll. I either made someone or everyone laugh at me or with me and both. But Im not surprised to know now that I'm 20 that Donald trump isn't the best candidate for Republican. That would become RonDe Santis most definitely.
Where’s the rest of the interview?
ua-cam.com/video/_pRvutf1n10/v-deo.html
i would disagree that the US is not more polarized than 60 years ago. Johnson in 64 got 60% of the vote. Reagan in 84 got 60% of the vote. it is inconceivable now that such wide swings can occur. The two sides now see themselves as having nothing in common, no basis on which to co-exist with the other. An attitude, I think, which is not illegitimate.

Would love to hear Jordan revisit this now...
He's not intellectually honest enough to admit he was wrong and eat some of his words.
Politically speaking, he is not that intelligent or astute. In terms of just general politics, putting aside the psychological aspects and certain niche topics.
Hoping Jordan is OK. Just heard the sad news from his daughter
what happened?
Cringlez pls don’t quote me word for word but something along the lines of was initially taking Klonopin and some other antidepressants and got hooked on the drugs, then went to rehab, then rehab failed, and then went to a special clinic in Moscow (unsure for what ailment). Supposedly in tough shape but now starting to heal. Crazy stuff.
@@swisstrader the whole world seems to be taking pills.smh
Kimberly Hudon yes. Sad but true
Just check out his channel, his daughter tells it all clearly. In Short, her mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year. With various complications apparently. She's still with us, but it hit Jordan hard.
He was proscribed a certain anti depressant which is highly physically addictive. Also, the medicine had an adverse effect on his well being, aggravating his condition to the point of suicidal thoughts. He has been fighting his depression for years. It seem to run in his family. The prospect of loosing his wife was simply to much to bare.
So he basically had a couple of close brushes with death itself in Russia, battling the physical and mental damage of the medicine and pneumonia.
He is recovering and doing less bad, but has to deal with neurological damage.
If you listen to Jordan Peterson speak and get triggered, you're too radical.
Well said! Agree!
I do when I see him debate atheists. It doesn't go well for him
rofl! :)
@J J Instead of just resorting to name-calling, which is sadly all too typical of the left today when it lacks a decent counter argument of its own, could you give an example of something that Jordan Peterson has ever said that's wrong?
@J J So I asked you to tell me something he's ever said that's wrong, and you go on a political rant with all the gusto of a typically over emotional left winger, as well as throw in yet more sarcasm and abuse.
Are you capable of giving a reasonable and sensible answer that's conducive to healthy debate, or are you going to prove that the left are only capable of name calling, ranting and avoiding the question?
"I'm looking forward to normative incompetence among politicians." That's sadly the best we can hope for.
I think the issue of polarization stems from those on both sides gaining value through identity. It's an attention thing. People are awarded for bad forms of attention as much as good, so to be able to craft your own identity based on another's actions gives you validity without taking responsibility.
1970s we will have flying cars
2019 you get banned for having an opinion
well not really just your opinion has to conform with the "mainstream", sort of like during socialism in Eastern Europe...
That doesnt mean that the leaders of this are socialists or communists....
As ie. during inquisition situation was rather similar as well.
no, just hate speech.
@CCRider87 by spreading hate speech
So sad, so true!
LOl Hmmmm.... funny how its only the fascists that are being banned. Notice any patterns there u little nazi's?
I'm so glad Dr. Peterson is anti-stupid war.
K1NG FalconGaming With statements like that I’m more confused than ever as to why the MSM continues to label him far right conservative or alt-right.
Peterson only looks far right to those on the extreme left
I would like to think that just about every one of us in the US can agree on THAT. Maybe we should start a new political party based solely on that: The Anti-Stupid War Party. Its single greatest accomplishment would be that.
Is a Tariff war stupid? Is it easy to win?
Luis Destro
Consider it a market correction after all the cheating China has been doing.
Here I am on 4/1/22 asking myself, did he say "war" and "Chris Rock" too.
Jordan is a very intelligent man because he has the rare ability to be critical of hit own party this ability shows his fairness and reason. Also one thing he missed talking about how trump didn’t start a war, he wanted to but his advisors managed to talk him out of it. This coming from a inside source in the White House who was on 60 minutes. I do like this idea of staying in the middle because both sides bring something to the table and it is often the rare right or left that bring the issues.
The worst part about Trump as President is the 'trolling', quite literally. Perhaps the best US President since the 90s at least!
I liked that he noticed that Trump's actions may be crafted.
i mean, the guy was a reality tv show host, he's an actor by hobby
Do yall think presidents get elected for their autenticity? Theres a lot of work behind the scenes guys, like a lot, believe some, plenty of what trump does is crafted, and he can pull it of no worries, good actor and stuff
It's a fact for like 80-90% of politicians.
@Richard I'm conservative and I agree with your West Germany example. However you clearly have a misunderstanding of the executive branch. Trump doesn't have the ability to "make laws," and neither did Obama. The economy we are seeing now is the product of six years of recovery under the previous admin, mixed with general republican economics for the last four (which are decided by the senate, not the president, and which we would have gotten anyway with any administration).
As mentioned, Trump is a reality TV actor. It's his only successful/legal business venture. He has made his living trolling people, and unfortunately a large portion of the republican party cares more about sticking their thumbs in the left's eye than any real step towards a smaller government. Most of my family falls under that category.
I like Trump.
And that is how a HOST supposed to conduct an interview, I mean the "host" probably have his own viewpoint. But when u invite someone to your show, it's for audience benefit to listen to the guest!

And not one opposing comment in the comment section under all his videos. Brainwashing 101. The same idiots that say your free speech is coming under attack are the same people that filter out all opposing comments on social media. These are the same people that spread lies and misinformation and justify it by simply saying " I believe it to be true ". What Peterson thinks about Trump can only be relevant to morons.
"What I'm hoping for is a return to normative incompetence among politicians." Peterson always has such beautiful unexpected things to say.
All politicians are incompetent, but some like several governments in Central America, are incompetent beyond belief.
Don't worry Jordan, "The best is yet to come!" What does he say now?
"Entrepreneurial types tend to be liberal" is a fantastical mis-statement.
I think that he meant liberal in a more classical sense (free market values, low taxes, ext)
liberal in countries other than america are not necessarily the leftist parties. As he said in the interview in canada the liberals were meant to be a centrist party, and in australia they are pretty much central too
You spelt libertarian wrong.
@Ceej Brit. Your interpretation of what he said is fantastical in its misunderstanding.
Under the classical, pre-1960's American definition of liberal, then Trump certainly is a liberal. In most places, "Liberal" is a conservative term, referencing such concepts as free-trade, not a Left-wing political ideology, as it was appropriated by 1960's Americans.

“He has not embroiled the US in an additional stupid war.”
“Not engaging in a stupid war, is a nice start.”
@nick m. Ignorance is bliss; just keep listening to the media spin. If you haven't noticed yet, the reports of genocide were vastly overstated to say the least. There are powerful interests that will do anything to maintain US involvement and conflict in various regions.
You think if there actually is genocide happening, because of Trump pulling out of Syria, that they would air that instead of the impeachment farce?
Seems he is engaging in civil discourse with his rhetoric ...andTrump has called for and threatened civil war in AMERICA if he were to be impeached.
@@whiteraven69 *"Trump has called for and threatened civil war in AMERICA if he were to be impeached."*

My buddy once said "Jordan sounds like Kermit The Frog if Kermit got a PHD.".
I love this interview
What I enjoy about Jordan Peterson most of all is his ability to think analytically, not emotionally. I think so much of the reason that we consider nations like the U.S. to be so 'polarized' is that so much of media now is motivated by emotion rather than actually taking a moment to consider what has just happened. In other words, knee jerk reaction headlines and reporting that is really supporting reactionary thinking. In Canada, Peterson seems to infuriate most of the Canadian media representatives because he always thinks and speaks analytically and this goes against the current concept of what we call 'news'.
He's wound tight. His analysis is at base superficial and he is constantly emotive. Tautologies are typical of his rhetoric. Here, he is rather reasonable, but says nothing of note. Anyone who has actually bothered to research Trump, knows he is complex, has a background in business, was a centrist Democrat on social policy and was critical of Obama's foreign policy (what little there was) and probably resembles best, an Eisenhower Republican.
we need a generation of logical, non-hysterical politicians like Peterson. To me he is the epitome of what Plato's Patrician class would be.
the nation is in fact not polarized. the majority (most often silent and comprising all races/backgrounds) of people are outstandingly conservative. Last time i checked, most citizens believed in God and held deeply felt convictions w/ respect to morality and standards of decency. a strong economy is infinitely preferred to one of stagnation and zero growth. most want their children educated in those ways that encourage Christ's teaching of gentleness and love. anyone have a problem w/ these?
Pretty obvious he's already driven you crazy :)
@MichaelKingsfordGray grow up? Do you suppose one should only admire people whom you agree 100% with ? You are the one being immature. And you didn't even gave a logical argument or evidence for anything that you claimed.
"Trump didn't win the election, Hillary lost it." Truer words never spoken.
Wrong!!!!!
It takes a special kind of incompetence to win the popular vote and lose the election.
Yes and no. Hillary was in some ways the 'incumbent'. She led the incumbent party, she had been in power with her husband previously and she'd been part of the incumbent government. So, she was a largely known quantity. In a way, the election was a referendum on the incumbent party and she sold herself poorly. However, it's not enough to be anti-incumbent. The challenger has to sell him or herself as credible. Trump sold himself as a credible alternative. A man who could get things done. So, Hillary gave Trump an opening, but he exploited it.
He did win, and he will win again!

Jordan Peterson rocks no matter what he’s talking about 🦞🦞🦞
Seems like the most unbiased take on Trump in my opinion.
Jordan Peterson makes calm out of chaos.
Good interview where the host actually let the guest speak and doesnt try push an agenda. Well done to The Delve. Canadians and Irish, probably the two most civilized conversationalists.
Yes, it was very annoying how Jordan Peterson kept getting attacked on interviews as if that's why he was there. To be maliciously attacked by the ones who invited him.
@PringlesKing William Not so!
@@cyrusthered8000 What people are missing is the difference between disliking Islam and disliking Muslims. Disliking Islam is understandable as it preaches a violent dogma but when you use that dislike of Islam as an excuse to discriminate against Muslims then you're heading into dangerous territory.
@PringlesKing William They're justified in hating the Brits. Not saying they should or shouldn't.
A lot of the Scandinavians are pretty good too, even though they are quite egalitarian.
I wonder what he'd say about Trump in 2022. Knowing what we know about him now.
The way he speaks cuts so deep that I feel like I have memorized all his speech. 😄
The color on this video is great. Very sharp for mere 1080p too.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only person thinking that lmao
Chris B I thought the same thing.
I believe it's the right lighting setup. Don't really think color and resolution interplay is the reason here.
IKR Jordan's hair looking like gold. I was just admiring it the whole time Cuz I thought it was brown.
It’s nice that in one month, no one has even jokingly made fun of this comment.
What an interesting group of viewers we are.
Jordan has a talent for telling the truth, however ugly it may be, and still look cool! man after my own heart!
Better to be hurt with truth than comforted with lies.
You should check out Ben Shapiro as well, “facts don’t care about your feelings” is his catch phrase.
Little Bennie mile a minute never trumper. No thanks
Only thing I have heard Dr. Peterson say that I did not agree with. We are 100 percent more divided than ever. Than again this was three years ago and things have changed a lot since then.
Wonder what JP thinks of the political scene in North America now?
Jordan could become next PM of Canada he would easily win all the arguments.
He says that people are less polarized than under Nixon or Reaggan and that it is nice he doesn't start a war. Which is fine but says nothing about Trump. He calls Trump strange and "ideosyncratic". The situation in North Korea is bad but it COULD BE WORSE. COULD BE WORSE, is all he said. It could be worse but he just proves that he has no clear standpoint. This is fine for me but how could he convince anyone like that? Maybe it is enough for Canada. Maybe he won't engage in a stupid war but still overrated.
Andrzej Mroz and you are smoking crack cocaine again. stop smoking crack cocaine. thanks
Andrzej Mroz nah he’s too smart and the average folk are too dumb. They prefer blind hatred
Andrzej Mroz Even though I would run out and vote for him as fast as I could, there are far too many Canadians who wouldn’t. He also has said he has no desire to get into Canadian politics and I really can’t blame him.

I could listen to this man speak all day every day. I would not consider myself a truly intelligent person. Maybe average at best. But I always understand every word Jordan Person says. This makes me feel intelligent and good about myself not to mention that I always agree with everything he says. He illiterates what I think but cant verbalize. This is a gift he possess. Amazing talent. Thank god this world has given him for us.
"He illiterates what I think"
~Film cuts to Jordan Peterson running around a pre school stealing all the books. Freeze frame with deep narration
"Coming to you this summer. Jordan Peterson, the Illiterator".
perfect comment - Jordan is infectious and cleansing like bright sunshine...
p.s. the word you might be searching for is, He 'articulates' what we are thinking.
I'm a huge JP fan. He *can fall victim to getting wordy, especially in some of his earlier videos, but he's obviously softened his use of polysyllabic words in response to early criticisms. I suspect it was perfectly reasonable to be so articulate when he was teaching, because the audience was his students, who would be used to the terms he was using. UA-cam audience? Not so much.
You may not feel a capable communicator, but don't discount yourself, your potential is most likely not yet reached. You're more than the past experience of yourself.
Be hopeful, work diligently to better yourself, stay humble. You are almost certainly more than you measure yourself to be, but focus on building upon those things that help you and others to measure up ... The measuring and judging itself is a distraction. Building value in yourself and others is real.
Smart people can clearly connect all the dots for all of us to see the big picture. Peterson and James Tour are both smart guys whom I like to listen to. Steve Quayle also!
Maybe they haven't become more polarized, but hostility levels between sides has drastically increased.
Exactly!
Hostility and polarization are both MUCH worse now, and it's at the basic cultural level, not just political. One might have to have lived in the USA for decades to really know this. It's probably not clear to people looking in from the outside.
The gun fetish has gone off the charts.
Nice catch!
Well, on the woke side anyway.
Now after January 6, 2016, I would be curious if JP sees this differently.
I would like to know what he thought about the January 6th riots
“Normative incompetence” amongst politicians... now thats a dream
Stan Zosim
I agree: politicians are excessive by nature! Mix that with the power they get and the outcome is most often corruption.
So sorry Jordan, the word we were looking for was "corrupt."
@@korratheaustralianshepherd5804 nah
We were as polarized, we were polarized differently during Nixon, as opposed to during Trump. When NIxon was president, it was a generational divide. Nowadays, it's a cultural, political divide.
He was pretty accurate on his description of Trump, but is he disagreeable? Seems pretty malleable, stroke his ego and he’ll give you what you want. And does he not curry favour with giant corporations, what was his 2017 (?) tax bill about?
Peterson’s work on social/individual/philosophical is really good, his comments on politics are questionable no doubt.
@@naveed210 I think it his meaning of disagreeable that you might be misunderstanding. He is using DSM5 meaning of (agreeable/disagreeable) which is someone who stands up for what he believes more likely (but not always) than caves in to compromise. Disagreeable is not a bad trait, but many politicians tend to be agreeable according to Jordan (at least they act like that on the exterior even if disagreeable behind the scenes) but Trump is more authentic (my opinion) in showing his real side to people which (even if he does have negotiation tactics that he is not sharing). His sincerity is there. Btw I think the biggest issue might be media coverage of the president which skews it for most people around the world due to certain key news organizations being international.
e X i l i u s that is complete and utter tripe, a comment from someone who is not paying attention. Trump bends his will to the word of the corporations. To say he’s sincere? Wow, you must be f’in asleep. A populist is not sincere in any way, the man is a demagogue. 😂🤦🏽♂️
Big fan of Jordan’s but he certainly called this one incorrectly. The U.S. is tearing itself apart from increased levels of extremism on both sides.
@@neilshanahan8217 I'd argue against that and say that the divide or polarization just seems greater because of the meddling of media companies blowing things out of proportion.
In my opinion the discourse, if you want to call it that, is just louder nowdays and a lot of people do the wrong things with good intentions or try to do good things in a bad way and that most people stand on the same side without realizing it because the edges of the definitions are blurred.
As I've always said America works best when the two parties work together to benefit the people... Some from party A some from party B
And president that can keep them talking to one another.
Its a very nice start
Hope Jordan gets well soon.
And some new fresh ideas
Back when this video came out, I'd agree with Peterson. No more division than there used to be.
Now things seem to be changing, the divide is getting worse. It's for sure not the fault of the people, the media is trying their damdest to make it so. Perhaps I'm wrong, who knows?
"the media" "the people" covers a lot of ground, people use those expressions a lot but it doesn't really say anything. I think this is an asymentical conflict, between a centerist political party in the Democrats and an organized crime syndicate with an openly fascist agenda, dressed in the clothes of Christianity and calling itself the GOP. Both groups have media organs which propagate their message and encourage the US population to support them.
@@J0MBi the Democrats, a centralist political party 😂, I take it that's a joke. And facism is now the tool of the far left, the dictionary definition of facism is now pretty much the left's default setting. And to try and say the Republicans are criminals and the Democrats aren't, is one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard. Do you actually follow politics? Or are you just pushing your agenda?
@@J0MBi to be called "fascist" you need to do something at first xD
republican party doesn't fit really well
also, a kind reminder about a boy who cried a wolf
You are not wrong. Identity politics are alive and well. The division will get bigger as long as the media, activists, and politicians play the identity politics game. And I don’t see them letting off the throttle any time soon unfortunately, it’s a very trendy and lucrative business, not only in terms of money but also in terms of popular support.
If people, in other words, society isn't the responsible for the polarization who its? The president? Really? C'mon. That's why USA people have failed. They want to point with the finger to each other the responsibility. The media create hate and people buy it. Their own citizens are full of hate. They just don't care real things, prefer some etiquette instead.
I love the guy, not that I agree with everything he ever said, but he has content and arguments. He is both reasonable and has common sense. Having said that, and in reference to this particular video, I am humbly gonna disagree with him on the following: According to what he just said, america is no more polarized that it was under Reagan or Nixon. To argue his point, he says that america has been, for a long time, a 50/50 nation. This is where I don´t agree. A 50/50 nation is a divided nation with one party in power, supported by half of the people, the other half being in the opposition. A politically divided nation is healthy, we talk, we kind of compromise on big issues and society as a whole moves forward. Power alternates from one party to the the other one, from one election to the next. As incredible as it may sound, 50/50 is good. Polarized means something else: it describes (or measure) the ability (or inability) that one half has to talk to the other half. With that definition in mind, yes, America is more polarized than ever. Trumpist who won´t bulge, who won´t compromise, who spend their entire time attacking the other half on false premises represent the incarnation of a polarized society. Need examples? Just a few names: Marjorie Taylor green, among others, Ron Johnson, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Josh Halley and so on, all led by the beautiful Tucker Karlson. Not only it is polarized in the extreme, but their disagreements are not even based on facts. If you don´t judge based on facts then it no longer is a political party, it becomes a cult. Amen

Now 4 years later Peterson's been revealed as not too bright. Trump is a narcissistic compulsive liar who actually attempted to overthrow a free and fair election.
Does Peterson still think he was harmless?? Apparently so, he invites the other GOP seditionists who backed Trump's attempted coup on his podcast.
I, too, would be curious whether his opinion has changed any, or remains the same, now over 3 years later.
"He was certainly successful on TV..."

@@davidmurphy7332 OF course he was talking about politicians in general, but leave it to the left to bash Trump...TDS is real
I think he means we need normative political scandals and incompetence. Not the left constantly bashing the right. It’s counterproductive to American policy and therefore it’s people.
Rational, dispassionate, critical thought is refreshing.
For the first time this dude didn’t go around the moon and back before making a point. Well done!
We need JP back to show people that there are still rational, reasonable, intelligent, well spoken, and well meaning people in the world.
I believe that I heard the reason was he got very sick, and had to stay away from social media due to his health, and especially after the loss of his wife due to cancer.
I could be wrong though.
Edit: ok, so I looked it up and apparently he's in a coma? He was admitted to a Russian hospital due to a anti-depressant dependency, and maybe also pneumonia? Idk, the details of what happened seem a bit fuzzy, but I'm not sure if he's still in a coma.

But it’s very different to live through it in real-time as a child, with no idea if we would be killed in an instant, what was going to happen next, and if the world was going to end before I could see my family again and say goodbye. What we ran from, saw, heard, smelled, and experienced as we pushed through crowds and ran for our lives from the collapsing towers-the first, then the second-as we tried to get home with police stopping us at every way in and bloody, ash-covered bodies running past us-has become common knowledge in the past decade. The teacher spoke up: “That reminds me. Gamely, I lifted my legs over my head, and suddenly pffft! I didn’t have time to even think about holding it in: The rogue toot reverberated throughout the studio. I began panicking, wondering how I would get home to my apartment building on the other side of the Towers where my elderly grandparents also lived. Each one of us, about ten in a group, has to swim beside a boat. It was my first-ever yoga class: 90 minutes for beginners at the Y. Give up! Come on, get in the boat!”
On the third lap, I start to get delirious. Yogis can have a sense of humor. As the stink lingered, I was mortified; the source was pretty obvious to all. On the second lap, the boys who had already given up yell at me from the boat, “Come on! You don’t need to do this. If at any point you need to give up, you get inside the boat.
We start in. Then he jumps in the water and grabs me by the arm, and I think, It must be something dangerous because he’s trying to pull me out. Then, my neighbor and her 13-year-old son appeared in the doorway, arriving late for the day after an appointment, to walk me home. It’s smart to avoid eating for several hours before class.” I couldn’t wait to leave; who’s so Zen he can’t laugh off a fart?
A mere eight years later, I finally found the guts to go to another class. But I look way out in front of me, about two football lengths, and I see other kids getting out of the water. My arms feel like spaghetti, and I almost can’t move anymore. I remember parents rushing in to pull out their children amid the chaos. Then he slaps me in the face and says, “N--, who told you that you could get in the pool?” I was 12 years old, sitting in school three blocks away from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, when the planes hit the twin towers. As I unrolled my mat, one joked, “Well, don’t sit next to us!” I grinned back, reveling in my full disclosure, and got ready for class. And then, dead silence. One time, I’m swimming in the deep end of the pool by myself, and I hear one of the lifeguards yell out, “You! You! Get outta that water! Get outta that water right now!” He is so frantic, I think there must be a snake or a snapping turtle. We left just minutes before the first tower collapsed. And it was actually going okay until about 20 minutes in, when it was time for a series of poses on our backs. I get out of the pool.
One of the final activities at the camp is the mile swim.
I’m an avid runner, and when you pass gas during a group run, there’s a collective laugh, and someone might call you out, but you keep on. Here, everyone - my disingenuous self included - looked around for the guilty party. Our teachers had us all gather in the cafeteria. I am the only black Boy Scout eligible to try out for it. As soon as we finish the first lap, half the boys have given up and gotten in the boat. I survived, but that morning was just the beginning of my trauma.
I’m 11 years old. He’s trying to save me. Upon entering the studio, I immediately confessed to a few women: “This is the first time I’ve been to yoga since 2003, because last time, I farted.” Everyone cracked up. I knew nothing about the practice, so when the male instructor announced the poses, I was like, “What in the hell is warrior what?” I just wanted to release my type A tendencies while folding myself into a pretzel. Three laps around this big lake equals one mile.
