    Dr. Peterson, I want to thank you from the depths of my soul. I recently overcame a 10 year long opioid addiction, with this last year being a catatonic fentanyl zombie. Your videos saved my life! Your words gave me the courage to face my demons and by the grace of God I won. I don't know if I could have done it without your wisdom, and I am truly humbled and grateful for every word.

    I'm just a middle-aged pleb, I do have to say, these are my favorite two intellectuals. I've never gone to college but used grit and stubbornness to do quite well in my life. My interaction with most college educated people, including some professors at Yale, has left me ultimately unimpressed. Sure, they are brilliant in their fields, but anything outside of that expertise leaves them stumbling through the dark like deaf mice.These two over the past 6-7 years, however, have thoroughly impressed and enthralled me. I literally become fascinated in all of their thoughtful discussions and cannot consume enough. Thank you both !

      I'm inclined to agree with your overall sentiment regarding the "highly educated." But I have discovered that part of the reason for their seemingly less circumspect knowledge is from the necessity of keeping pace of advancing knowledge their own field. But then again, I currently work in the healthcare industry. Even if the "new thing" isn't always the new cure, there is still so much to sift through it leaves less time for other things.

    About halfway through this interview, I realized the answer to Dr. Saad's question to Dr. Peterson's, on why Jordan Peterson is more controversial. Once Dr. Saad explained that he's not religious, that's the answer right there. The war that we face in this world is a spiritual war and they won't attack those that deny God, nearly as much as they as those that proclaim the one true God.

How many people watch these discussions of his once carefully, then sleep on it a few days then rewatch to really sink it in. It really takes 2 watches with a 3 to 10 day rest between them to really drill in the concepts. I loved his college lecture series. OMFG.

    I got saved by you Dr Peterson. I was embroiled in drugs and alcohol in university cowering away from the suffering that comes with carrying responsibility I had to face to grow. With his content I grew up and today I am close to marrying, building a home and taking back my kids that I had previously abandoned. I am now carefully facilitating or allowing God to facilitate something approximating a relationship with him. I'm speaking from South Africa. I cannot thank you enough.

  • @thiago_590
    @thiago_590 Рік тому +17

    One thing that keeps coming to my mind and kind of aligns with Dr Gad Saad brings around 17:01, about empathy and body morphology is the relation people stablish with suffering itself. As Jordan has bring over and over, suffering is real. Period. But how we handle that suffering, more specifically how willing we are to accept and endure some suffering or to avoid it, combined with empathy it may be determinant to how we end up positioning on a moral/political scale. I remember a left wing friend saying once "If it's a way to aliviate all kinds of suffering, that's my choice". That stick into my mind as well as when Dr Peterson says "Imagine how much unnecessary suffering we could avoid bringing ourselves and to others", which always makes me think.. if there is such a thing as unnecessary suffering, is there any suffering that is necessary or worth enduring?
    Anyone not mad would want to aliviate suffering from someone with cancer, but what about the suffering a child feels the first day of school when it doesn't want to be separated from it's mother? Anyone who empathize too much with that child might also suffer and act to stop that at once, bring the child back home and say it's ok not go if does not want to. In other words, if there is too much empathy, any suffering may be seen as an emergency and demands emergency - and probably not suficiently though through - actions. People say mean things? Safe spaces, trigger warnings. Competitions makes loosers sad? No competitions. Can't lose weight? Body acceptance.
    That's also why I think people really believe they are helping and bringing justice, they want to aliviate immediate suffering as fast as possible, the consequences are handled later.
    People with body strength clearly can endure some suffering. More than that, are willing to accept that as part of the process. "No pain, no gain". That's why I think farmers are mostly right wing, they deal with nature all the time, they must face and endure suffering and know how much that will be important for their child to do so in order to work and survive. And to teach that, they can not totally give in to empathy to the first sign of a momentary suffering display. Someone empathy/ suffering sensor might be so sensitive that for any sign of annoyance, it is perceived as suffering. On the other way, with low empathy there is a risk that the actual suffering might be too much to bare at that given moment.
    It's not to say that right wing wants people to suffer all the time with everything life throws. Sometimes to think better strategies to deal suffering in a large scale it is necessary to detach from local individual suffering. If someone is hungry, you may offer them some food, small scale resorces are enough; if an entire city is hungry, yes they all need food, but more than that it needs systems to enable feeding everyone, and to build such systems and keep it working it requires some people to detach from that immediate suffering.
    In general as we live and grow, there are also these two contradicting common sense, 1: that we want things to be easier for next generetions, so that they don't need to suffer the same way we did, and 2: younger generations need some suffering to learn important lessons, again resembling the two suffering dealing ways.
    OBS: of course, this is taking into account the good willing people on both sides, not mentioning psycopaths /sociopaths.

    • @brianhawes3115
      @brianhawes3115 Рік тому +2

      Very good analysis, I’m a woodworker and in my daily struggles a certain amount of suffering is recognized as a window to the transcendence of the suffering, a suspended belief on a daily basis, and a sense of playfulness makes any suffering almost necessary in anticipation of a revelation in reality

    • @thiago_590
      @thiago_590 Рік тому

      ​@@brianhawes3115 I think that when we learn we can endure a new type or amount of suffering it gives is confidence, joy, sometimes we reach that transcendence you talk about. On the movie "the persuit of happyness", the ending would have no meaning without the previous suffering. Like the movie states, happyness is not a state, is that brief moment, the instant when it all aliviates. Some could argue that in the movie there were a ton of unnecessary suffering displayed that some people face every day and I would certainly agree. But unnecessary or not, it is a story of someone who could handle it. I think that's why the hero's journey echoes so much: we suffer, we know we are going to suffer at any moment and there are some who learn how to deal with it and we want to embody that hability as well.

    • @Volkbrecht
      @Volkbrecht Рік тому +1

      The problem with learning to endure necessary, helpful levels and modes of suffering is, as with a lot of areas of character development, that it is mostly not under the control of the individual. We get brought up by parents and society, and during our formative years a lot of us get stuck in a situation that is not conducive to develop to the best possible result of our natural talents. This is especially true for above intelligent people in urban environments. No real physical hardship, and not much challenge in the school setting, that is necessarily tuned to accomodate the average to lower IQ ranges.
      But once that fuck-up has manifested in a personality that is not used to facing hardship, it is near impossible to turn around for some. Even understanding full well where you are and what you would need to take on yourself to develop in a good direction may not be enough to enable such a person to adjust themselves. Because they never had to face strain, it feels highly uncomfortable to take it on voluntarily while there are still conceivable ways of getting by. So they weasel on, and come up with crazy ideas like body positivity (which, like so many leftist mind viruses, started out as a very reasonable concept before being hijacked and translated into "it's okay to be a pig").
      The only real way out of this is the exact opposite of the way our society is going: community. Having well-meaning people around you who challenge you, who, as they say, "take you under their wing", who help their fellow humans realizing their potential. Who may even push you further, when they see that you outgrow their potential. This is how you make people experience feelings of accomplishment, of trusting in their own ability to take on hard tasks. And also how you teach them how to bear suffering. By making them realize that hard work is hard for you, too, but you take it on anyway because of the rewarding results that wait at the end of it. Basically the tribe compensating for the lack of good parenting.

    • @robinp2039
      @robinp2039 Рік тому +1

      Do you think there’s a difference between suffering and discomfort? Suffering has no foreseeable end (cancer) and it’s compassionate to alleviate it; discomfort is temporary (first day of school) and it will build some kind of character/strength, to alleviate it is actually a disadvantage. Just a thought.
