      10000000*100000% OP..... However, an entire political campaign was started/based on a "LIE" by taking a soundbite from a video and removing the first xx seconds from it, so if making a statement, make sure you always capture and save it's complete context in video format ( I still cannot believe how many people believe such types of "LIE's" and, when they realize it .... keep following along and/or keep trusting the person whom tricked them)

    I never really comment on UA-cam, but the way in which Dr Peterson refrains from speaking in certainties about things in which he admits to knowing little about - islam for example - is refreshing. The man conducts himself with a level of discipline and poise that is not often seen by many in the public eye. He seems to be refining himself and his approach with each and every interview and speaking engagement, it's quite remarkable. Absolutely wonderful and thought provoking discussion. Hat's off to Lafayette College.

      hahaha Mike Barker, you on the other hand, being wiser and more intelligent can see through his fraud and hypocrisy right? Peterson's language is the exact opposite of word salad, I've actually seldom come across anyone who takes ideas so abstract, and is able to lay them out in clear, articulate ways. If you pay attention, you'll notice those big words serve very specific functions, and he will use simpler words when they will do. (Just because you don't understand him doesn't make it word salad by the way).

      I'd love to hear a radical leftist describe the following "If you were in a debate, and your goal was to prove that something that was truly correct, was in fact true. What criteria would it require to prove that theory is true to yourself?". If it's anything other than providing factual evidence based on statistical analysis, and providing that the analysis was taken in the most credibal way and further more developing a checks and balances system against small human error and how that would effect that statistics realistically... then providing that information to the listener and have them debate it, and offer no holes in your argument. If they can't disprove the evidence, or provide more reasonable evidence it has to be taken as credibal fact. Meaning honest supportive analysis is how man kind had always confirmed facts. If you ignore statistics analysis, you're blindly fighting a battle based on a few things you've seen on TV. No coyote has ever survived a full on hit from a stick of dynamite or a train, but most westerners have seen several episodes of the looney toons.

    *I love how he wields humor.* Doesn't it make you feel like after such a lengthy introduction or long statements that he becomes profoundly more human and relatable through the use of banter and quips in a manner that is aimed mostly to crystallize a point, make it noticeable and memorable? His elegant manner of speech is certainly something to learn from, but how he maintains a certain level of simplicity for the enjoyment of everyone involved shows even more layers of his wisdom.

      I love JP, but he’s not exactly unique in that respect. The media and society, however, do not usually want to listen to long, involved lectures and debates. The public was lucky enough to discover him because he took a stand on this PC language war (and actually knew what he was talking about and was a strong orator) at just the time it was really heating up in the zeitgeist. If he hadn’t published those initial UA-cam videos about C16, it’s unlikely the general public would have ever heard learned he existed.
      My point is simply that if you find this guy fascinating because you love to learn via well spoken, prodigiously researched individuals rather than just love JP for his eloquence on issues you care about, there’s a galaxy of other guys like this out there for you to watch.

      Valerie Loney Irish American here. A lot of Americans do not understand the background and heritage of the average Irish citizen. Basically due to the fact over 50% of Irish Americans are Farmers so they don't actually interact socially with Irish Americans on an intellectual level. It's embedded in our culture to self-sustain and be family oriented individuals. And sadly, since most Left individuals occupy areas of Capital or State assistance areas and not production, they become out of touch with the true identity of Irish history.
      I physically come to tears knowing my family's origin of Ireland are fervently destroying this identity. The individuality and values it takes to be productive for the sake of survival and protection is being withered away. Keep your stance on being an individual, but don't be afraid of voicing your values. Rationality developes in all aspects of life and there's nothing wrong about having that type of integrity.

I have just subscribed to this channel as I like Jordan Peterson and I like what I hear so far.

    Haven't started video yet but felt compelled to comment just to say how much I admire Jordan. I've listened to his lectures and podcast as well as his daughter's podcast for years now. I'm a 30 year old guy that's been homeless and suffering from severe anxiety for 7 years now. Although I've been on methadone since 2015 and clean I have yet to clean my room up. Jordan's compassion with intelligence and no nonsense approach to fixing things has always been alluring to me. When things are down I try and imagine what Jordan would say to me in that moment. I have no family and feel like he gives me an idea of a father figure/ therapist/ mentor/ friend when I need it most. I haven't missed a podcast yet. I wish to one day be able to get into school to study maths as that and the physical sciences has always been my interest and truly is my motivation to get up everyday. I pray that in time I become more confident, less awkward, and in a place where I'm a bit more content and surrounded by positive people I can show my love to. Thank you Dr. Peterson for being a guiding light to me. It's meant a lot. You've helped more people than I'm sure you can fathom, and that are in situations that are more unique and varied than anyone can comprehend. Thanks man. Thanks.

I have been called conciseness ever since I started to conduct myself in a professional state of being in the last 1.5 years, I am and will be continuously working on improving my faults. Although i am clearly nowhere near understanding my self now nor when i really become an adult i have set out my plan for the future although I believe that one person can not prepare for what comes next in a realistic way, In a world where the goal of man is to deter from 'Chaos' as Dr Peterson has discussed it in great length. To conclude I discovered Dr Peterson From his first Siting with Ethan and Hila from H3H3 Podcast.

      Jordan - the trick is to have a goal/s and then replace that goal/s only if something more valuable comes along. So work out what your values are and don't mistake your values for what you 'shine/project' them on, your values aren't people or destinations or things but can be discovered through them Have strategies, ways of achieving, rather than a rule, a singular way of doing that doesn't take into account the unfolding complexity of the future that you can't accurately predict. And ... enjoy the process, your path looking forwards is nothing like your future self ' s path looking back. Could you have predicted how you would have achieved being 16 at the age of 6? It had twists and turns, some evoked by you, some provoked on you, and you had capabilities of receiving and doing that got you there. Well done!
      At the age of 44 that's about the best I have worked out to date. I wish you well in your journey, it'll have highs and lows but it is always worth it.

    I've always considered myself as being liberal, as being on the left, but this movement to radicalise everything on that side is both surprising & disappointing to me. As a bisexual female I've always believed in free speech, you cannot announce yourself as liberal but follow that up by exclaiming that it can only be considered to those thought to be the minority. To group people together in a community is ridiculous, I in no way want to be part of a LGBT "community", just as I don't speak for all white women, I don't speak for all those in that "community" & I certainly don't want those speaking on my behalf, not during this movement in particular.
    Jordon, personally I think that your work is wonderful, you've renewed my love of psychology & have enlightened me about religion.

      I was beginning to become disillusioned with how vitriolic the left had become. Especially my fellow progressives. JP came along and taught me how to think about things with the progress of mindset but disassociate myself from any form of identity politics.
      JP has actually reinforced my progressivism by having me critically examine if my actions were contributing to tribalism.

      Fernando Marquez, my reluctance to be placed amongst the many into a community, so to speak, is based on my desire to not be expected to speak for the masses. I'm noticing that such communities have a tendency to have one speak for the masses & I'm absolutely oppose to having others opinions be considered my own based on one singular similarity that we share. I see that there's safety in numbers, that having other individuals validate your opinions can be useful. Though, in such a time as this, it appears that the radical left are using their circle as an echo chamber, bouncing around their nonsensical ideas & nodding their heads as each person condemns those outside of their circle. It makes me embarrassed to have any shared opinions with them, even if it is merely their most mentally stable & rational few.

      Your problem seems to be financial. Finances is a simple game of money in and money out. Both of which you can change to a certain degree. I find most financial problems isn’t the money in, but is instead the money out. Pay off debts, and still work 70 hrs a week and you’d be rolling in money sooner than you think. While I personally don’t agree with 100% of his plan(mainly on housing), Dave Ramsey’s first 3 baby steps I consider to be the best money advice to ever be told!
      I wish you the best of luck!

    This was an absolute joy to behold, and I learned so much from it. The questions were fantastic and the overall atmosphere was just so beautiful. It was great to hear Dr. Peterson tackle those insightful questions without having a bunch of knobheads shouting down his every word if it didn't match what they wanted, and I also quite liked the respectful silences that followed some of his more humorous statements as they served to maintain the formal nature of the event. I will be coming back to this many more times in the future. Well done to the organisers, Dr. Peterson, the moderator, and all of the students for putting this together and holding it so well!

In real life my wife bumped into the bed when she was climbing in and it startled me and I yelled really loud and woke the baby up.
