Agreed
Well spoken.
It really is. Jung once said about psychedelics "Be wary of unearned wisdom" and to some extent some of this stuff that JP is revealing, partly because he utilizes Jung's spirit so much in his teachings, feels that way to me. Periodically he will say something so revelatory that I have to stop the damn video like I'm in the middle of a Steven King novel and what I just read frightened me to the point where I need to take a break and get some fresh air.
christian almli which from King? ,per say..
33:02 - "It's much better to identify with your capacity to transform than it is to identify with who you are now."
Richard Sneed Along this line of thought, he says the "old you" must die. Can someone describe this? I have helluva time understanding this idea, let alone, a method for dying while transforming.
Maybe like "going cold turkey"? Bam! Flip a switch and stick to it come hell or high water?
Your comment is 9 months old but I'm going for it.
What JBP means by "the old you must die" is that you must give up who you are for who you must become. Do not be attached to any part of who you are in your quest to become better, because anything you hold onto as your "identity" could be exactly what keeps your from becoming who you are trying to become.
Sometimes learning something new has cascading effects on your belief systems and you need to question every aspect of yourself and your life and reshape it to fit the new information in a way that makes sense. You need to be honest with yourself about your attachments to ideas and let them go to get closer to the truth. JBP often refers to this process as your death and rebirth, like Jesus on behalf of mankind or a phoenix.
so good
Thanks for the eloquent and profound analysis.
Conformity is dangerous and I think it's in full bloom with idealistic groups like liberalist potheads and full fledged conservatives. When you settle for who you are and not challenge yourself to be better, or the worse version of that mentality, the denial of your potential as a human, it becomes a pathological part of your personality, and it affects everyone around you in small ways. That's why choosing friends are important because some friends pull you down instead of challenging you.
Who else is here ignoring their actual schoolwork and studying this instead?
freaking prophet
Wow thats so accurate right now lol
@@mattkijak7407 me
I'm watching this as a "break" from my research paper.
😂😂😂😂
Peterson's lectures are one of the most valuable resources I've ever stumbled upon. Every lecture leaves me with an abstract sense of fulfillment and the motivation to be a better person.
+Charlie Kelly Maybe if you follow Prof. Peterson's wisdom you'll get the waitress ;)
+Tom Woodthorpe
Face the dragon, get the treasure. I'd eat the dragon too, but dragon is a meal a for kings and i'm sort of a common man.
+Charlie Kelly
A king of the rats is still a king. You could at least craft a powerful new rat stick from its bones.
Charlie Kelly amen, brother
Me too, but then I eventually find my way back to PornHub
This guy makes me wish I had been a student at the University of Toronto... his style of teaching, unparalleled!
It's unimaginable to see that such a wizard is faced with unnecessary obstructions while he could make this world more intelligent and brighter - hundreds at a time.
I can't believe this is free. This is something that will definitely help my psychology studies
I am a non-intellectual and I am glued to the screen when you speak. You must be doing something right!
absoluttchamp are you still?
Everyone has an intellect. Sometimes it takes a Jordan Peterson to stimulate it.
41:26-44:14 Maybe up to 45:55 - This whole section about "the little pit", suffering and putting yourself back together; destruction of the old paradigm, then building a new, wiser, better version of your self... This is worth listening to a few times, particularly if you're someone who's had issues with depression.
One of the major features for me, and many others, is that feeling of being lost every time you get knocked back; you loose your long term perspective. It would be great to have a little boiled down sound-bite or "mantra", something that just summarises this section and reminds you that it's a transformative period. I think it would help a lot of people get through it quicker, and come out stronger.
Loving your lectures Dr Peterson. Would be fantastic to take your course online someday!
What an amazing mixture of genius, wit, vitality and humanistic love in you sir! You are the greatest lecturer I have ever had the pleasure to learn from. Don't stop spreading the knowledge you glorious human!
Peter Lynch are you serious or his husband?
Peter Lynch wow! Perfect description!
Thank you for making your lectures available Professor Perterson. They are invaluable.
54:50 when Jordan talks about snake phobia possibly being built right into you - I have seen this in my 6 month old son, first hand. I had a black belt that I thought he would be interested in inspecting (he's VERY curious and exploritory), and when I tried to hand it to him, he jerked back in terror. I've never seen him do that before. Ever. It took him a second to build up the courage to reach out and touch it, and he inspected the end, as if to confirm that it was an inanimate object. He's NEVER seen a snake before. Ever. It led me to believe that the fear must be primordial. So interesting.
Thank you Professor Peterson for your kindness in spreading knowledge freely. It is greatly appreciated!
Thanks Jordan Peterson for posting lectures this semester. I'm doing a long slow study of your courses and books. Having a great time and new lectures are
a source of joy and interest!
I never had the grades enough to be able to apply for Psychology, so these videos make me very happy! They are incredibly useful for anyone I think. Because learning about how you work/humans work and why is something everyone should be interested in, in order to make the world a better place by bettering yourself and understanding others
Second time going through these videos. I miss this Jordan Peterson. What a phenomenal lecturer. I hope he recovers his health and gets back to what he does best: teach.
Im going through all of Dr. Peterson's personality lectures again, these lecture videos are so useful and engaging!
Almost 5 years ago. Almost 4 million subs. Only 340 thousand views on this first lecture. Let that sink in, says a lot about the number of people who will volunteer to better themselves. Glad I'm here. Let's go mom buy the books.
41:30 Transformation, successful or not is actually quite dangerous.
43:40 "You can tell the character of a human being by how much truth he is willing to tolerate." -- Nietzsche
Glad he is on the planet.
Happy he shares.
Estatic people relate to what he says.
It gives me hope.
The clapping at the end was nice, never in my 17 year of education did that happen in any of my classes.
This guy gets goddamn standing ovations at his classes. How could you not clap after being in this class?
In Switzerland (eth, Zurich, architecture) it was common. Also lineups for entry and seating positions. Always full with hallway overflow. The quality was that high.
Excellent way of teaching - so easy to follow such a complex subject. Thanks for this.
Dear Peterson thank you for recording your lectures so people can learn and knowledge themselves for free. Thank you.. I wish more professors do that..
Did anyone else find the statement that "nihilism is pointless" as funny as I did?
yeah me too...but Mr. peterson believes in christianity so i didn't expect him to say it isn't pointless
a nihilist is just a frustrated hedonist...
@@drasticgamerstv1025 JBP does not believe in christianity my dude. He recognizes the value system and more to that. He has his own way of faith, i believe. I remember somewhere him saying that he believes in god. but i couldnt understand what he really meant by god there.
@@John_Leonard_Hart_IIII I think of nihilism as the natural progressive state that the pathway of hedonism ultimately leads to. By the way I agree with you, I like the way explain it as I think that frustration is the inevitable outcome when one wholly subscribes to such a philosophy.
Billie Eilish should listen to Jordan Peterson 😂
I'm a 56 yr old man and every time I here Mr Peterson speak it fills me with a sense of pride and honor, I get that feeling when your country wins a gold medal at the Olympics and they play the Canadian national anthem.
Brilliant, informative and engaging. As a mental health nurse this course is extremely beneficial. Thank you Dr Peterson!
He explains things so well. I wish I'd had a lecturer that I clicked with like this at university
Thank you so much, for putting this gold mine of information out for free, I plan on reading much on the reading list in an effort to learn more about myself, and the world around me. Your insights are phenomenal! Thank you Dr Peterson!!
I hated school as a young man but in some weird way im extremely jealous of these students!
Same. Wish I would have had the epiphany that if I cared about school I would have learned so much. I didn't, and out if ego I went the exact opposite way. If I was academically inclined from the get.. welp, at least these are free, books aren't though.
I transcribed the 2015 series word for word!such valuable knowledge.thanks mr Peterson.
Hello, can I get your transcripts? It will save me a lot of time. Many Thanks
It's just my hand written,messy,personal notes.
+Philip Morise aha I see. Thanks!
+Jordan B Peterson OMG you keep amazing me, professor! Thanks a lot. yes of course we are interested :))
Yes I am interested in this and the maps of meaning lectures,but I plan on buying most of your books anyways,so I'm sure all the info and more is in there.thanks professor Peterson for all the effort you put into UA-cam.it is highly appreciated!
This is one of the best things ever.
Thanks so much for posting these lectures online. I find myself learning a great deal with each one that I watch.
I hope you truly know how much you are a truly a gift to the world. When I first saw stumbled upon you, I didn’t like you but I listened to what you had to say anyways. I still do not agree with your views on women and white privilege, however, I am a better person because of you. I thought I was awesome but I had to face some real ugly things I didn’t realize about myself and not only did you hold a mirror and help me to see, you motivated me to be better. Thank you. I hope you believe your cult following. You deserve it.
Absolutely love that you mentioned Robert Sapolsky. imo you and him are two of the top professor-lecturers in the game today. Brilliant, and above all useful stuff - Thank you for posting
Learning these things from him makes me think that one of the ways in which he gets his point across so good is by implementing the archetypal type of a person who is right in his character when explaining, also the reason people like him so much. If you look at any movie where they show a misunderstood scientist that in the end was right even tough no one believed him you'll see some behaviour patterns. Or at least that's my way of understanding the lesson
I started a word file called 'vocabulary I learned from JP' :D
Haha that's funny, I do learn new words from him too, I just try to remember them
Outstanding! Good on ya.
Fair point. I also improve my vocab with JP's videos quite well.
I love this! Please share!!!
Can you share that?
"The fundamental task of the emerging human being was to extricate themselves from their family."
This brings to mind the so-called "rebellious phase" of teenagers. Perhaps it is not anomalous, pathological, or otherwise deviant behaviour, but an evolutionary mechanism indicative of the development of independence from the family. It may be that it should therefore not be repressed or necessarily punished, but guided along healthy avenues. I don't really know anything about child-rearing or the psychology of families, but does this make any sense?
+Occhi Blu -- Depending on the family situation it could definitely be the healthy thing to do. Otherwise, I don't mean to imply that completely extricating oneself from one's family is necessary or necessarily the goal. Rather it is the demonstrative ability to live apart from the family and make decisions for oneself, preferably responsibly. At least, encouraging that should be the goal of parenting.
I'd have to defer to someone like Jordan on the reasons for divorce. I think that an addiction to porn while married is a symptom of existing problems, though, and less so a cause -- but then certainly an exacerbating factor. Sodomy is either simply sex enjoyed by [hopefully] both or male homosexual sex, for which I find no objection in the modern context. Homosexuals in heterosexual marriages will inevitably find a lack of happiness within the relationship. The "me" generation is perhaps more a result of the over-coddling of children, of trying to tell everyone that they are special.
+Occhi Blu -- The value of the traditional mother-father parental structure is difficult for me to assess. I've really not read much about it beyond the sound-bites from far on either end of the argument published in the media. I can't say that I've known any same-sex couples with children, the closest I've known being a single gay father. None of this provides me with anything useful.
As for the rest, I pretty much agree. Good parenting is of prime importance in a child's development and that cannot be achieved by letting popular media instruct them. As you say, though, it's difficult for families to afford to always have one parent there for their children. My nephews are pretty lucky, in this regard, having two sets of grandparents in close proximity to take over whilst their parents pursue their careers.
When he says "extricate themselves from their family" I believe he is talking about the individuals ability to live independently of the family structure. Meaning the individual can evaluate the family from an outside perspective, the parts of the family structure that are supportive can be honored and the parts that are destructive can be ignored. Some toxic pathological family may have to be avoided all together.
For example: One of my relatives was very wise in most of his thinking except he was also racist against black people. A person who can extricate themselves recognizes the wisdom without also becoming racist.
If a relative in the family is known to be abusive, the best course is to isolate them unless they are willing to do the work necessary to change.
This is when he was Clark Kent. Superman was just around the corner waiting to be revealed.
Your lectures remind me why I studied the Humanities rather than STEM in college. Thanks a lot!
They remind me why I did the opposite ;-) It is good to be well-rounded however
STEM?
@@Sjahko_ Science, technology, engineering, and math
Yes, definitely more interesting on a novel level. Having an understanding in STEM field, however, can help you sift through what science & math/statistics are valid in the humanity area.
It's one of the great tragedies of the humanities in the modern age is that many adherents to the humanities are fond of mis-interpreting stats/facts, accidentally incorporating biases into their studies, or even calculating the correlations wrong in the first place.
And all too often now, as with the *radical* left academics, stats and facts are *purposefully* misused to pedal some political agenda.
good video, hope to let my kids see this when they're old enough. I'm so happy to see such brilliant minds on youtube, need more and more like you.
Gosh when I see that I can be listening for three or more hours and so much I have learnt in the last hours..... my hunger of knowledge has just explode!!!! Thank you so much Professor Peterson...
At the end of this lecture you talk about the danger of parents who do everything for their children. I'm 26 and have some light fear and insecurity in my life as a result of being afraid to move forward without a hand to hold. What is the best way to go about breaking out of this pathological mold? Really appreciate everything you put up. I hope you win the good against injustice! MUCH LOVE!
Thank you so much for putting these up, they're great.
I never paid attention in high school because I never knew how it would apply to my life. Although, my favorite class was Bible because it seemed to teach me ideas that I can practice in my life to improve my quality of living. After graduating , I've spent the last 3 years going through a transition learning phase about myself, and Mr. Peterson has helped me tremendously. I find myself day after day watching these lectures, just for the knowledge they hold. Seeing how in the present day, all of the drama against his license being revoked, this drives me to learn even more. If it is powerful enough, some people might try to get rid of it. Thankyou Mr. Peterson, may you live long and prosper.
Wow, what a fantastic lecture! Thank you so, so much for making these public.
First lecture. They clapped. Thank you Dr Peterson for leaving this online!
I do really thank you so much for putting these classes available for the world, outside the walls of the academy. God bless you, sir!
II would just like to say how grateful I am for these uploads.
I think these lectures (2016 and 2017) are arguably his best contributions, and I'm not belittling his other work.
Jordan Peterson: "The Internet's dad" 😁
Thank you Jordan for existing.
Man, this guys impressive. His intelligence , sincerity, principles, ethics, and ability to convey information is incredible. I understand most of what he speaks about, have many of the same ideas and beliefs, but wish I could speak and convey my own opinions, knowledge, beliefs, etc. as well as him. And, it's not just schooling or his educational background , I've grown up around many well informed and well educated individuals ( at 45 years of age), but absolutely none explains information and beliefs any where close to as well as Mr. Peterson. Its fascinating. I got into some legal troubles a couple of decades ago and, it through a wrench into my being a productive member of society. And, I was fairly intelligent and hard working. Did almost 9 years, for something I actually didn't do, basically came down to being accused and I wouldn't rat on my brother and some of my friends. It is what it is. My point that I'm going for, after doing those many years in prison, you learn ALOT of things about man, human nature, etc..If, hypothetically speaking, Jordan Peterson was given a prison sentence for say something he didn't do, whatever, he would be accepted by a majority of the inmates and, most would befriend him and protect him. Mr. Peterson might actually find that interesting, lol. The guy is fucking sharp, his sincerity and conviction shines through. On of the most impressive people I've ever seen. I'm not a fanboy type of person. If my favorite rock band, author, actor, whatever walked past me in the casino or hotel lobby, there would be a 98 % probability that I would absolutely not go up to the person and talk to them, or ask for an autograph, etc.. But, if I saw Jordan Peterson, I'd make a b line directly to him and introduce myself and thank him for what he does. I suffer from some depression, I guess we all more or less do but, I'm curious what makes him depressed? Anyway, love this fucking guy!!
Just found this channel I really like psych as well as philosophy so im glad to have fact checked information makes everything so much easier.
Looking forward to upcoming lectures
According to your openness model of lecturing, this is perfect for me!
God bless Dr Peterson.
I've binged his lectures, and then I'm gonna read his book list.
Is there anyone who's as crazy as I am in terms of watching "Personality and its transformations" 2016 lecture series/course after watching "Personality and its transformations" 2017 lecture series/course just due to the lack of new profound content or for the hope to find new golden insights that the other course might miss.
There are people even more crazy than you, bucko ;) you are "just" a good student. Keep it up! :)
Your lectures are amazing! If I ever have the chance, I'll try to watch one in person
I love these lectures
Is it a Canadian thing to clap at the end of the class period, or is JP just that awesome?
You guessed it right
We’re not THAT polite
Awwwwwwesome
He's just awesome
we only clap when we don't understand and respect the subject or content of lecture.
very interesting, thanks for the upload!
Mr Peterson ... thank you for your tireless efforts and thank you for your lectures ... I find you more than anything to be "real" and "honest" which I believe is central to any form of discovery ... while I do not agree with everything you espouse, overall I find it very informative and interesting as well ... you have a clear firm grasp of the essentials and a clear type of speaking. Thank you again. :-)
DR. PETERSON, A HUGE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUCH PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE SHARING IT!!!
I am in India n to have such an opportunity to listen to such valueable knowledge & you SHARING IT for free, it's so Great of you!!
I have got your 12 Rules of life and the SELF AUTHORING PROGRAM.
THANK YOU!!
I hope that you have been able to improve your situation since the time you posted your comment. I have a lot of sympathy and respect for the Indian people. I cooperate with you on daily basis at work and admire your English skills. People in my country (Poland) struggle with English. There is much to learn and development is essential for all in all aspects, but youtube lectures help also immensely with the language development.
You looked bad, man! The visual output of your health has transformed completely. The last video I saw of Dr. Peterson, a video from The Joe Rogan podcast, the man was in impeccable health. I hope you keep it up, man!
Lockdown andI'm here :)
Thank you very very much for these videos.
Thank you for sharing.
I intend to go over this lectures again, since we are staying at home
Jordan B. Peterson fooled me into studying psychology. That was until i discovered that psychology is not like this, it`s full of orderly people. All my teachers are orderly, linear thinking people. That makes it boring for me. So I went into litterature instead, in that field I can use my creative and analytical capacities, something I could not do in psychology.
I think without a proper structure you lost in the abstraction, so without necessary knowledge you can fill up unknown with some intuition, but I have a strong guess, that used old road" is have a reason to stay in, to look from a stable position.(perspective) btw I'm not sure about, actually I dont learn psychology but I belive I have a relatively strong sense, and what I see, it's terrified me how we can change overtime as we are in reaction with the circumstances. So with my small knowledge and even smaller" English I say there is a reason maybe..something like that..=}
I am a Carleton alumni and student (started a second undergraduate
degree at 27 in the fall). I am psychologically compelled to comment on this lecture series.
This is a good professor (watched a few 2015 lectures, starting in the middle).
My second degree is only core courses (electives completed) so, this is both relaxing and interesting.
Ayy Carleton!!
Who's here because Corona. Use your free time wisely.
corona helped me find my real dad
30:04 Just been reminded that Peter was the rock to build upon, unlike the sand. Sand is the personality and rock is the being or sense of aliveness within us.
47:32 "You actually die into your personality!"😂😂😂😂
Jordan Peterson has such a great sense of humor haha 😄 bravo!!
This is fantastic
he won my heart at "I don't really like blackboard"
I am glad people like him still exist.
I don't even read , but you make me want to read. Already bought your 12 step book =)
Casey same lol he made me assume reading as a duty of mine. I always hated reading as a kid my parents tried to pay me at one point to read when I was 8. Funny enough I would much rather buy a book then by food now lol
Thank you for the video
i am just starting this course! wish me luck.
I have a new series to watch.
I was ready to do all those essays and the whole reading list to be there and have the chance to hear it live and ask questions.
Yay new content!!!
Thank you!
Informative.
The fact that this much knowledge is all but freely available to any jackass with an internet connection literally anywhere in the world speaks volumes on the successes of capitalism
I wish I had the list of required readings for this paper. Its 20 years ago I graduated with BSocSci in NZ, but thanks to Professor Peterson I can take his paper via these postings. Informally, of course.
But you do, look in the description
Came here from Maps of Meaning, Jordan suggested this is a good preparation for the course. Am I in the right place?
I will just binge them all. I am so lost in life I am just watching anything that has JP in it.
My pet-fail videos beckon but I can’t quite bring myself to pause this chap.
god bless you sir
Gold.
21:09 "Don't eat all the bread!" That cracked me up. It sounds like there might be an interesting story behind that one.
Jordan I would hope that you would like to have every recorded lecture you've ever done available on your channel, because I sure would
I stopped the video once to say "Crazy Insightful" to myself, then continued
Can you imagine being a student of this legend?
Well, no need to imagine. We are his students aren't we? I consider myself JBP's student after having listened/watched thousends of his lectures and interviews.
Does anyone know how / where to purchase the textbook he uses for PSYCH 230?
The way Peterson talk reminds me of Feynman a lot.
ChestnutRic3 wow! Right on
This oberservation particularly struck when he said "this is dopey",
Both razor sharp minds
Yes! I made that observation too
I guess the resemblance is rather about the fact that they're both sharp as hell.🤯
Jung brought me art and art therapy, mandalas, journaling ... etc.
I watched many of your 2015 Personality Lectures while researching and seeking inspiration for a fiction piece I am writing. Such great insight into the human mind and scope: a truly valuable tool even for a layperson (i.e., me). Thank you so much! :)
Question to the Maestro: many differences between the 2014, 2015 and 2016 lectures?
+Jordan B Peterson Gotcha. Thanks again - merci beaucoup. Your name may end up in the acknowledgements of a graphic novel project I am part of: my apologies in advance for that!
(Its aimed at comic book stores: not exactly university-worthy material ;) )
Am being educated, thanks JBP
Does someone else get a Richard Feynman vibe from his facial expressions? Even the way he talks sometimes.
Yes omg. I noticed that
