Here is another example: JORDAN PETERSON BEST MOMENTS 2018: 'There are some profound thinkers.' [Then JP rattles off his list, apparently to illustrate that he knows who the profound thinkers are.] 'You don't get to be an atheist when the people you attack are naïve fundamentalists.' 'We have an ethos that is valuable. You scientist types are casually dismantling it, what the hell are we supposed to do, there is something valuable here. The new atheists wish that everyone will become rational.'
      [Let's try to make sense of this 'Best Moment'. You don't get to be an atheist? I don't get to not believe in God? Atheist is a belief. Who the heck is going to stop me from believing or not believing in God? Scientist types are dismantling the ethos? WTF does that mean? What is a new atheist? Someone who is an atheist now, or someone who just became an atheist? Atheists want people to be rational? What is wrong with that? My question to Roasted Liberals or any JP fan -- if these are JP's best moments, I hate to see his worst.]

    My Dad died on December 9th of last year. He changed his plans and decided to be buried instead of cremated two days before he died. I live 1350 miles away. He has three sons and one daughter. I am a middle son, but I was the only one of his kids that showed up. I handled it all and spent $9,000 out of my pocket to honor his wishes. It took untilJune 4th, his birthday, before I broke down and cried. I called in sick to work and broke down alone. His headstone got mounted last week. I miss my father so much and there were more than him that made me a man of strength and a man that doesn’t share the pain of doing it all alone. Keep up the good workJordan.

      In every interview JP establishes himself as an absolute loon. I am just not sure which to share as a top contender there are so many tying for 1st place. But check this one: IDENTITY POLITICS and the MARXIST LIE
      1. 'What has been happening under the subsurface of easily perceptible reality manifest itself at many layers.' 'You need to specify the level of analysis before you can move forward properly.' 2. 'This era of increasing polarization, a serious war of ideas.' 'It is necessary to understand the war of ideas.' 3. 'Some people have more privilege than other people.' 'You cannot throw everything away that runs contrary to your deepest moral instincts.' 4. 'For Marx the world view is a never ending battle between the oppressor and the oppressed. 5. An economic view that people are fundamentally motivated by economic motives. I never did buy that theory.'
      [Tell me why no one sees through the complete sham of this guy? Let's analyze how much crap he offers in just the first two minutes. 1. His point is that what? You need to think? 2. In another interview he says the US is not more polarized than it has been in the past, thus completely contradicting himself here. An antidote to chaos? The guy is mental chaos incarnate. 3. Some people are more privileged? Gee thanks for updating me on something everyone already knows. 4. How long has Marx been dead? Why does anyone care what he thought. Does JP ever offer a solution to any current world issue? Not that I have noticed. 5. JP does not think that making money is a fundamental motive? A label of absolutely insane and self-deluded fits JP like a glove.]

You can tell he is deeply troubled and saddened by the current situation for young men (and young women) and how difficult it has become to find a path for yourself and really become a good man or a good woman.

The guy is hugely arrogant, spewing loads and loads of useless content, preying on the gullible, sort of like a televangelist. OK he is doing it to make a living, so no criticism of him there, but start paying attention to what he actually says. Soon enough you will see through the emperor's new clothes:
      JP’s ‘Who Dares Say He Believes in God?’
      “What our consciousness seems to be for is to encounter those things that we have not yet encountered. Those things that have not yet been brought into being. For the encounter with potential. To transform the future into the present. You have apprehension about what role your choices might make into transforming that potential into one form of actuality or another. You might make mistakes. You can get out of bed and do the things you are supposed to do..."
      [Thank you JP for this great wisdom in telling me I can get out of bed and do things.]
      And from JP FB page:
      “We, humans, are the only creatures that are aware of our boundaries in space and time. When we discovered time, we discovered the end of our being. That made all the difference when it came to our self-consciousness... We (the sovereign we, the we that has been around since the beginning of life) have lived in a dominance hierarchy for a long time. We were struggling for a position before we had skin, or hands, or lungs, or bones. There is little more natural than culture. Dominance hierarchies are older than trees. The part of our brain that keeps track of our position in the dominance hierarchy is therefore exceptionally ancient and fundamental. It is a master control system, modulating our perceptions, values, emotions, thoughts and actions. It powerfully affects every aspect of our Being, conscious and unconscious alike.”
      [So a rabbit running from a fox doesn’t understand its boundaries in space and time? So why is it running? And why doesn’t it crash into trees if it is unaware of its boundaries in space? The evolution of my brain is ancient and fundamental? Thank you so much for this credible scientific analysis of what my brain is for. And of what use is it for JP to tell us humans are smarter than animals? Every 2nd grader already knows that.]

      @@jerrygreene1493 I see that you are (or were two weeks ago) very interested in extracting "something smart" that Mr. Peterson had said from the minds of his observers. I most likely won't be responding to this thread again because I have seen how you interacted with other commenters like myself and have no interest whatsoever in arguing pointlessly until one or both of us is irritated. With that being said however, I would like to state my thoughts briefly and ask for your explanation of why you feel so strongly about him and why it matters so much in five concise points -so that I can understand your point of view with as little detritus to sift through as possible.
      In my opinion, which is based off of observation of my environment, I think that he has been able to impact so many people positively because he seems to take interest in digging up old and deeply rooted things and then does his best to understand them better. Most people have some basic concept of everything he is talking about (per your 4th graders quip) but have not taken the time to understand the reasons for those things in themselves and in the world. I think that he comes from a place of having done his best to understand the simple fundamentals of society and human thinking as a whole, and then states them as clearly as he can so that everyone who has not taken the time and trouble to deeply investigate these things can have them articulated for them and apply them to the best of their ability -thus causing better self awareness and sensitivity to responsibility and consequences. I think you may be expecting him to be more concerned with scientific things rather than conceptual things? Is this correct? Also, have I said what I meant well or was I not clear and you would like me to clarify some thing that I was trying to say?

That is all fine. The other issue is him trying to act like a know it all intellect in politics, science, and philosophy. In those he is an embarrassment, absolutely chaotic reasoning and delusional grandeur. I would suggest the APA divest themselves from him as he fairly effectively implicates psychology as sham of fake science masquerading as an undeserving spot in academia. Here is just one sample from his new FB page, if you find anything about it useful or insightful, please clarify:
      "We, humans, are the only creatures that are aware of our boundaries in space and time. When we discovered time, we discovered the end of our being. That made all the difference when it came to our self-consciousness... We (the sovereign we, the we that has been around since the beginning of life) have lived in a dominance hierarchy for a long time. We were struggling for a position before we had skin, or hands, or lungs, or bones. There is little more natural than culture. Dominance hierarchies are older than trees. The part of our brain that keeps track of our position in the dominance hierarchy is therefore exceptionally ancient and fundamental. It is a master control system, modulating our perceptions, values, emotions, thoughts and actions. It powerfully affects every aspect of our Being, conscious and unconscious alike."
      [I appreciate your willingness to dig deeper into this issue and in a polite manner, however just briefly on the above paragraph. Only humans are aware of their boundaries in space and time? I guess he is stating here that humans are smarter than animals. That of course is completely pointless and useless and every second grader already knows it. Add to that it is wrong. Animals don't run in to trees or run off cliffs because of course, they know their limits in space and time. And that is just the first sentence. The rest is pure junk also. Add to that that he is so arrogant and self absorbed in every lecture, I personally cannot think of any current public figure that even remotely rivals him in being annoying. The emperor's new clothes analogy fits him pretty well.]

    My favorite thinker of our time. He has done the academic work, the labor at an incredible rate. I can’t believe how well read he is and how he has synthesized western thought into pragmatism. It was my aim to be the strongest person at my mother’s funeral, and I was and I was with her for the last year of her life until the very end. It broke me to watch her die, to be alone with her (I’m an only child), and then to be alone. But Peterson is right, it this immense suffering I have been through that has given meaning to my life. I will live my life forward in her honor. Her name was Ann.

      As I let that fear of judgement emotional pain go I am better able to ask how can I learn from this mistake rather than the negative shaming
      I'm better able to ask SELF how can I do better next time.

    My dad died when I was 16. It was November 13 and it's gonna be 7 years. It was so sudden I didn't know how to react. I didn't cry but this physical pain that built inside me was huge. I'm a sikh so we burn the body, and when two days later I burnt the body in the burial site with all the ritual, I broke down in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to be strong. But this guilt inside me rushed out in forms of tears that I was unable to pay him back what he did for me. It's hard to be strong when you lose your parent and that too at the tender age of 16. It's not logical. I wanted to be the strongest in my family at his death, but I couldn't. That single day made me mature in ways I couldn't imagine.

    It’s been quite an experience. I’ve spent my life in self improvement. Always Starving for more enlightenment. Nothing can compare to my own struggles and journey through life in gaining wisdom.
    It’s been such a blessing to have this time with her. I’ve been a sponge, in that I am enjoying every moment I have with her.
    Married at 17 in 1980 it’s been nearly 40 years.
    I’ve found there is a bitter sweet living this experience, however the bitter is wrapped in the pure essence of love.
    Where is the sorrow in this?
    The sorrow is in the potential departure which is also wrapped in an all encompassing Love for another.
    Reading these posts bring me joy to see the heart felt empathy and compassion that is being displayed for each other. Even though we seem as strangers we are completely connected. We are one.
    Every act or lack of effects the one that we are.
    Who can hurt another with this perspective.
    Love is all there is.
    Anything else is a resistance to it and from where you came from.
    My presuppositions to life:
    Everything happens for a reason.
    It’s all for my good.
    I chose, choose, this to experience and to expand.
    When I attempt to control, stress enters in.
    I now only let go and allow.
    I am amazed at the perfect order in all things.
    The miracles that unfold daily, as a lotus flower opening, a pedal at a time, throughout each day.
    Men are that they may have joy.
    A simple shift in perspective allows it to be so.

Take Boccaccio, who lived at a time when Christianity was virtually unquestioned, and one would be ostracized from a community if they did not attend mass. The Decameron which he wrote is packed full with humanity’s same vices we see today, if not worse.

Instead I was trying to indicate that in our modern time we are too preoccupied with so many external things that reduces our ability to be introspective and so we tend to clog our brain with too much superficiality, even when we think we're intellectualizing to a higher degree. But at the end of the day we are becoming more and more disconnected from our conscience or to know that there exist something called "CONSCIENCE. The result??? Post podernism, snowflake mentality, trigger warning and execcive PC colture, etc....etc....etc.....

      Great person or cheesy faux emotional platitudes. You should be grateful for happiness? Why is this statement of any value to any person in any situation?

    This man is incredible. He speaks so powerfully and truthfully. You can hear it in the way he pauses and thinks over every word he utters. He's one of humanity s best and i don't care what your politics or race or Creed is you cannot deny this. Just look at his psychology speeches.

    I was cold when my father passed away. When everyone went to their homes, I cried and cried trying to reach out to my dad. I felt this loneliness was painful cause he left so sudden with out warning. I was 19 and dad was on his 40. I just met my dad on my 19 birthday. I was brought up by my stepfather. I blame mum for not telling me. I wish I told him I love him. Hope he understand.

    Good basic message... but from a despairing, negative, OCD viewpoint. Makes life sound like a dreadful responsibility & slavish drudgery for a speck of happiness here & there; if we may finally get something right. I believe Happiness/ positive, hopeful attitude is also a conscious choice, every minute of every day. Where do we live? Here, Now, in this Present Moment. Where do we learn/ change/ grow/accomplish / get things done/ make things happen? Where you are now, Here, in this Present Moment. Our lives & all history is in essence, a (remembered or recorded) experience of each Present (significant, or mundane) Moment's (consecutively experienced) thoughts, feelings, & actions & the results. So if, as we now know (proven by Positive Psychology) ; our creativity, efficiency & success all improve when we choose to pursue good goals from being rooted in a feeling of happiness, hope & joy & positivity; as we imagine, think, take action & create Now, in the Present Moment. As each person chooses happiness; more happy, inspiring & inspired people make life & existence & our world a better place. Sounds like a win-win to me! Choose (& study) Happiness; practice gratitude for the good experiences, learn from & let go of (find a way!) the bad experiences. 😊

      Great thoughts! There's much here that I agree with. On that note, I appreciate Dr Peterson's perspectives also because in my opinion, he's closer to the reality of Life. Life is much suffering and very painful via from what happens to us and what we cause to happen. Entropy constantly tugs at our bodies and this planet. And to say other wise is a lie. BUT, the story does NOT end there. We can make a CHOICE in how we respond. Dr Peterson stresses that we can either let life make us resentful, OR we can choose courage and bear our burden and transcend our suffering. I believe too many of us are incorrectly set up for life, especially our youth, and are not told this in a straight forward manner. They assume that life is "supposed" to be happy by default and when the chips don't fall as they expect, their world gets crushed and they see no way out other than an external crutch or suicide. When I first heard Dr Peterson explain this, it actually didn't make me more dismal. If anything, I got a bit angry that people didn't tell me this earlier when I was a kid--that life is suffering. Don't get me wrong. I STILL CHOOSE positivity, optimism, and gratitude. The biggest difference for me now, is that I don't seek happiness, I seek inner PEACE--there's a HUGE difference. You can have PEACE amidst turmoil. You can have peace of mind knowing that you're constantly striving for a more noble character, even though today I might be a bit sad or depressed. I guess my point is, I've learned to not get so down on myself when, despite my best efforts, I still don't feel "happy". But I've learned to still feel at peace and grateful for my life and what is given to me for my own learning.
