The very reason why Ironman and Batman are the most relatable superheroes... They are still mortal and can be massively damaged and scarred as well as mentally broken.
And they will even try to ruin those two
@@dantheman909 indeed
Anybody who claims Superman isn't relatable has never actually experienced a good Superman story. Beyond superficial appearances, when he's actually handled properly, he's far more relatable to regular people than someone like Batman because he's just a wholesome farm boy with old school American virtues who just wants to help and protect people.
@@Tyler_W I think the interesting part about Superman is that his struggle is not the one to protect HIMSELF - he is, after all, nigh invulnerable. Rather, it's the struggle to protect OTHERS. With his powers, he could easily sit back and live a life of ease and luxury free from any concern. But that's not enough. Further, even with others he has to strike the balance of protecting them without doing everything for them. Stated that way, his goals can seem almost impossible. It's something every parent understands and grapples with.
They are relatable because they are still alpha males and not gay ... YET!
I love my 1980's cartoons. Clear values, lessons learned. Knowing is half the battle...
Toy commercials.
And it's amazing how yesteryears toy commercials had a higher moral standing than most of what todays mainstream media supplies.
@@natethegr8230 Things are judged by their own traits, not by comparing them to other things.
@@alfredosaint-jean9660 So when you shop for a new car, you don't compare the traits of different makes and models to arrive at your final purchase decision?
@@whozyourdaddy No, I know what I want and I buy what fulfill those conditions.
Price chasing is a waste of time.
Marvel movies have become a hollow shell of human story telling.
ok but why does Klavan have to lie about it? He says they never die. He says it when ever he is asked about it.
@@cyclone8974 Ever read comics? NOBODY DIES, not once. And when they do, they come back in a couple of years.
They had a good run. Turned out better than I expected tbh
Become?
Marvel movies count as storytelling?
Quite to their point, the marvel movies through Endgame were absolutely tied to the life, redemption, and death of Tony Stark. They're absolutely hollow now.
Still it was back then, way worse now, i was always expecting on next movie to have better story telling, most of them just dissaponted me.
The story can only be as deep and smart as the writer.
A happy accident caused by Robert Downey Jr. contract expiring.
@@alfredosaint-jean9660 Is that true? It seems so intrinsic. A happy accident indeed then.
Hollowness, in culture and movies, doesn't appear suddenly. Why else did GK Chesterton write in 1908;
"Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer"?
Superman is only super because of his goodness and love for humanity. That is why we love him. Otherwise he would be a monster to be hated and feared.
A point the whole Superhero deconstructuon genre generally ignores while unintentionally proving it.
He would be Homelander, wouldn't he?
@@zabumbaman1828Or Omni-Man or the Plutonian.
Superman's greatest weakness is also his greatest strength: his morality. It is no secret that he is based off of Christ.
I heard it once said by a Superman fan that it was his human and middle America adopted parents who made him a good person growing up.
The thing that Peterson and Klavan are not saying is that value is imputed. When someone says: "The Earth would be better without humans on it," it is a value judgment that could ONLY be imputed by a sapient being, and humans are the only creatures we've yet encountered who fit that definition. In a world without human beings there would be no creature left on Earth capable of appreciating or even disvaluing this state of affairs. The only creatures capable of imputing value to the Earth would be gone.
If you talk to anti natalists many of them will say, that existence in itself is pain, that they only stay alive because they are afraid of death and pain, yet are forced to go through it eventually
In their minds creating new humans is an act of cruelty and non existence of concious ess a blessing
So?
Wrong, there's only One who can impute value, and it is not the creature whether created by God or by chance. Without God you can't spell Good.
@2:09 duh fuq was that a squirrel jumping to his death?????
That's what happens when you don't clean your room
🤣Good eye.
I saw that too. Definitely a bird. Wings spread out
The squirrel listened to the conversation, realized the problems are insurmountable, and decided on the spot to start his dirt nap early.
That was Rocket. He wanted in on the conversation.
Mel Gibson made a comment about similiar conclusion to the marvel movies.
Oh my gosh. I've read the story about Ham and Noah before years ago, but never really connected with it till now with this discussion. I'm so thankful for this upload.
I have a small child who is watching Monkey with me and loving it. That's right a Japanese TV show from 1979 and it is still entertaining and educational in 2024.
They take away being human great point!
Wall-E was a more human story than Marvel
@@d_shuffles excellent point. Wall-E stripped bare the truth that we are polluting (f*** the term "climate change") our planet for the sole reason of making life easy. "Easy" leads to death, "struggle" leads to being alive (human).
As I've seen some say when comparing Marvel and DC: the Marvel heroes want to be gods while the DC heroes are gods wanting to be human.
Just the past few weeks, I felt a sudden shift to pull away from progressing forward in technology… but I guess I’m not the only one who’s feeling this way because I see videos like this. It must be a universal feeling going on at the moment between some people who think this way.
Technology and morality are not by themselves mutually exclusive. However, for the past few generations, there was a strong focus on technology, all the while forsaking morality and spirituality. Indeed, you are not the only one having an urge to return to basic value that created an homogeneity of society. We can live without modern technology (the Amish are a good example), but we cannot live without morality.
@@polinco737 If I may add onto your thoughts, I'd say morality is necessary to keep technology in check. Tech has brought us tremendous medical advances over the last 2 centuries allowing us to live longer, healthier, and safer lives; ironically it can kill us (and others) faster than ever.
I'm an Orthodox Jew and during Sabbath, *everyone* in the community turns off their electronic devices so we're able to engage in meaningful conversation and pray together without the sense of being rushed from place to place we do each week. I still require a cell phone and computer to do my job, but putting it aside for 25 hours a week certainly is healthy for well-being and helps to reduce my anxiety.
EXCELLENT discussion!! thank you VERY much!!
I love this discussion between two of my favorite people.
I'm so grateful for you. You have deep and meaningful conversations. Live long my friend.
Dr. Peterson is incorrect concerning the nature of who was cursed in the story of Noah and Ham. It was not all the descendants of Ham, but specifically Canaan, his youngest son. This may or may not run counter to the point he was making, but it is worth pointing out as it is commonly misquoted.
Yep
One thing you must ask yourself when creating a hero of any kind is whether they would be heroic without the unique gifts or skills. The key word in superhero is hero. Most of the marvel cinematic heroes are not really anything of the sort.
They will be plenty heroic if the Creator wants them to be heroic
And if the Creator wants them to be superheroic then they'll be a superhero😂
@@user-wz5wl5zi4e It's their actions that make them heroic.
But most of them are. Which ones aren't heroic? They're all willing to sacrifice themselves to save humanity from massive threats.
@@HeyMykee Striking a deathblow with a sadistic grin on your face is not heroic.
WOMP WOMP
I like Jordan’s question: “WHY ANYTHING NOW?” Simple answer: Complacency and Allowing yourself to be vulnerable to anything that is put in front of you or to your face, then accepts it as it is without contradiction! Life and Death will face us all whether in reality or in the movies. It’s the journey you make it to be that counts!
There is a great amine now airing that focuses on this exact point. In "Frieren; Beyond Journey's End" an immortal elf (Frieren) discovers the value in human lives even though they are short and fleeting compared to hers. In the story, she retraces the 10-year journey she had with three companions, Himmel, Heiter, and Eisen, to understand the value of friendships, even if by her standards they are brief. (And she gains some new friends along the way)
Culture war.
Pff@@DavidGarcia-kw4sf
2:06 I struggle with this with my kids. I worked very hard to become comfortable, but now my kids have things too easy to build the character traits to face life. So, do I artificially create hardships? I have no doubt that they would be better off in the long run, but...
Obviously this is a good, first-world problem, but it is a problem.
I think working on projects with your kids that require them to do some physical labor and spend time away from distractions where you too can work alongside them and use the work as the cause for delaying certain gratifications.
Yeah, it's like being rich and spoiling a kid. There's so much around the house that they can get involved in, regardless of money.
You can put your kids to school in, like, Columbia or Costa Rico. Give them worthwhile challenges to grow.
Physicalchallenge. Go hiking. ´forget´ the tent.
I like the point about futurism (didn't know that's what it was called). It often feels to me like people disregard all previous wisdom and I find it quite difficult to negate. I hope JP expands on this sometime soon, or has he already and I missed it?
Cabrini, from Angel Studios just showed the world how to make a female superhero movie. There could be improvements, like showing the serious prayer life and devotion to Jesus Christ that is required to be such a powerful Saint, but they are definitely moving in the right direction.
Just as lame
Heroes* is the proper spelling.
What happened to the discussion about empty theaters and modern superhero films?
We are becoming the people from the movie Wall-E.
More like Idocroacy
This is why Kyle Reese and Ash Williams are such great characters.
3:16 There's a movie called 'Innerspace'. All the good guys are "ultra" human rather than "super" human. Come to think of it, the bad guys are too. Even Mr. Igoe who could be an embodiment of Thanatos, aka "the Deth Drive."
I always thought that superhero movies exist in a no man's land between fantasy and science fiction, lacking the aspirational qualities found in both. In fantasy, the universe essentially has different laws of nature that, with effort, can be used for moral and dramatic effect. In science fiction, this is accomplished rather through an extension of the real universe instead of an alternate one. But in superhero movies, virtue and ability are fixed and the domain of a select few, with ordinary humans as the hapless backdrop.
I do not understand the nihilists but I also don't understand Dr Peterson's statement about if you come into unearned wealth why rush? I have passions that I engage in not just in my work but in hobbies also, but I know if I won a fortune in the lottery I wouldn't hesitate to engage in my passions at a much deeper level that monetarily I just could not do right now.
One of my passions is coffee. I engage in it as a hobbyist, I not just brew but roast my own beans, create my own blends and all that. However if I stumbled into a lottery win I know I would invest in coffee farms in the Australian tropics including resurrecting species of coffee that almost went extinct like stenophylla. And that is only one example.
The entire episode was fabulous. A great rapport between you two.
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us." We have nothing to boast of before God. We get into loads of trouble when we exalt our own doctrines above a living God when it is God who, being sovereign and pure holiness, has chosen us, weak and frail and faulty to be His temple. Our earthen vessels is where He has chosen to reside - He wants to be no further away from us than in our hearts. He loves us that much, as though the God of the universe cannot get close enough to the creation He loves so dearly. 'I'll reside in their hearts and write their names on the palms of my hands.' Who can argue with Him on this point? He loves us.
We grow into the stature of Christ. Not an AI machine, not the doctrines of men which are vanity and chaff...no, but into Christ Himself:) Many can't handle that truth so they choose to make up doctrines to abide by. A waste of time and empty of real love.
My fav part of the main episode was JP talking about his son, how to make him unbreakable and no longer fragile but able to withstand anything - and in the process robbing him of his humanity and the very thing that endeared him to his son. The same holds true for God, as He is our Father with the exact same sentiment towards us, giving Himself for us in our fragile state, even encouraging us that He will come alongside us without judgment or ridicule and 'in our weaknesses show Himself strong'. Beautiful and powerful~
This is why super hero movies are in decline
The problem is to encourage and nurture creativity. Creative people don’t have to be driven. They are largely self motivated. Art, poetry, music and dance are arguably the most human activities.
And let’s not forget creativity in other areas. The cancer researcher, the extraordinary teacher, the talented social worker, the compassionate nurse. Nietzsche was right. We do need to transcend human nature. But the Superman does not fly through the air in Marvel fashion. The Superman is the development of our innate human creativity.
...and who pays for it ? The problem today is that everything is becoming more subsidized regardless of the usefulness of the endeavour. I'm all for someone pursuing there artistic motivation, it's when the government takes my resources and gives it to someone else to pursue their creativity. Grants to writers of novels that no one reads, and tax breaks for film productions that no one wants to watch. If the art is of true worth, it should be self sustaining, or done solely for the enjoyment of the artist.
I agree@@reekinronald6776
awwwww….. cliffhanger!!!!!😂 blast you, editor!!!
I love to listen to the wonderful shinning wisdom of Andrew Klavan. He, alone, is one of the best example in the world as why we need to veneer our elders.

Lol, should we also shellac and maybe pasteurize them?
@@HeyMykee Lol
Script writers are the soulless as well. We are getting characters who are no longer fully human. Sex is not love! Sex is not making love. Love is more complex than just sex. Humans don't fall in love based only on sex!! The stories are sooooo shallow.
I think this is function of what they are talking about. Today, individuals can survive on their own. You have welfare, and a multitude of government services that will take care of you if you fall of the path, you just have to ask. This social welfare structure once was provided by family and marrying into, and creating, a loving stable family was the prime directive of all humans, especially women, that's why most entertainment included some sort of traditional romantic plot line. The family was destroyed (I will say intentionally) by Feminism and other Left leaning ideologies and today, romantic love and marriage is certainly not essential for survival and thus is of little interest to writers in most genre's
They've been selling that lie for a long time.
Welfare is not surviving on one's own. It's dependence on the government.
yes with very few exceptions I've always despised superhero movies with marvel being the worst and agree sex and death are some of the more interesting things about life and thinking about them actually helps keep me going⚛😀
The prospect of dying while having sex keeps me going.
Punctuation!
well alfredo you're not the first person on youtube to complain about it I know perfectly well how to punctuate and construct a sentence it's just that at my advanced age like a lot of other things I don't bother anymore and who really cares it's just youtube where nothing is very important and most things are quickly forgotten⚛😀 @@alfredosaint-jean9660
What does. one have to do with the other though? What superheros are immortal or don't have sex?
@@HeyMykee Yes, according to movies.
I love listening to Andrew talk. He’s such a compassionate, intelligent and alert person.
Just saw Dune 2... awesome movie, good size audience. It IS still possible. Can't wait for pt 3!
Same here!
It would be Dune Messiah, not pt 3
The majority used to at least be good and were occasionally but not infrequently really good. With the exception of maybe two movies, everything after the ending of the main story in Avengers: Endgame has just been a hollow, ideology riddled shell of their former selves. I'd be very interested in Klavan's thoughts on the Amazon series Invincible. With a few mild aspects stereotypical of our time, it's as good as it is because it takes the superhero narrative and handles it with a great deal of emotional realism, complex characterization, and a commitment to stakes and consequences, and it does it all while being sincere and without being cynical like The Boys. I think it actually has a soul because the creator of the comic (one of the best of its kind when it was coming out) is one of the main writers and producers. The 144 issue/chapter comic is mostly excellent, too, but the show has been a quality adaptation that proves the genre still has a wealth of good stories to tell if only the people telling them were actually interested in telling compelling and meaningful stories with cool ideas instead of propagandists using them as a ashallow soap box or hacks incapable of telling stories that resonate with the human experience.
As far as the drunken Noah story, I've heard the phrase "he saw his father's nakedness" was an ancient Middle Eastern euphemism that implied that Ham took advantage of his father's drunken stupor by sexually violating his mother (or step mother) in order to shame his father and assert dominance over the family. Noah then cursed his bloodline because if the shame he brought on the family and because his child would be
the product of incest. Assuming this has any bearing on the truth of the text, I wonder how that might fit into Jordan's explaination.
Finally, somebodyu in the discussion thread who gets. it!! I'm getting neck cramps from so much facepalming.
I would love to see Jordan Peterson interview John Danaher
This here conversation is in large part what motivated Dr Moira MacTaggart to join Orchis, initiating the Fall of X comic run. MacTaggart participated in the massacre of the mutants. The remaining mutants ( who once collectively had the ability to resurrect their dead) were livid. The only two remaining who are sticking up for both humanity and mutants is Kamala Khan and Captain America. Iman' Vellani's comic run is doing really well.
No, it isn't. Modern Marvel Comics is devoid. There is nothing close to moral about those inconsequential stories and their immoral writers.
Danke, 💯
i wonder what his thoughts on Snyder's films, namely MoS and BvS
In the atrocities that we happen arrond us how do now the difference between someone that do something whitout nowing what they do or someone that is evil and now exactly what he is doing??
Children need pushed in the direction of making good choices, choices made by habit at the basic level. Making the morning wake up at a time followed by a habitual routine sets up reflexes that eliminate what is a chore for too many. Habits and reflexes that are good for them in the long run. It is NOT about immediate happiness and making the crying stop. It is about making the crying useless and finding solution the most important. It serves better in the long run.
"Why are you crying? Well what are you going to do/ not do again."
I saw Avengers 2 in theatres when I was like 16 (totally the target age). I was so disappointed it made me not wanting to watch any Marvel movie ever again. Almost 10 years later superhero films turned into what I felt like they were going. Shallow blockbusters overstimulating your brain with sound and VFX.
JP’s tie is 🔥
Amen!
Humans need stories with morals and heroes with values, whether religions, myths, legends, books, fiction, stories, manga, comics or VIDEOGAMES.
Single Player Games matter.
What Dr. Peterson misses here is that Ham lost his right to the Priesthood. This involved the garment of priesthood that Noah wore. In some Jewish documents its referred to as the garmemt of light which was passed down from Patriachs going back to Adam and going forward to Joseph whose coat caused enough jealously and envy that his brothers attempted to kill him and keep his coat.
Attachments to "superheroes" can create a false sense of reality and expectations of others.
Not the point.
@@alfredosaint-jean9660 Oooops, you've discovered my kryptonite.
When Genesis says that Ham "looked upon the nakedness of his father," that was an expression that meant that he committed incest with his mother. That is why the condemnation and the curse appear to be so out of proportion.
My favorite heros as a kid were Anakin Skywalker,Master Chief and Batman Now my heros as an adult are Jordan Peterson and similar Podcasts.
JP always sticks the landing on his point. Always.
The problem with some hero movies is that the antagonistic isn't a big threat, and no one cares if they are beaten because it's anticlimactic, and the hero didn't have to overcome in the traditional sense. A good hero movie example is star wars. Darth vader is threatening, huge, and terrifying. Luke is young, inexperienced and by the return of the jedi, he's a completely different person
Mostly those are just the very recent ones though, since Endgame, when Marvel was still good.
Some people (many people to be honest) act like Superheroes such as Superman and Batman among others show their worth by being unwavering and incorruptible and somehow this is suppose to be the highest form of moral, human storytelling. Not everyone actually makes this claim but often times unbeknownst to them they are turning Superheroes into deities, objects of veneration instead of parables of people like us who despite their failings find their way back. The modern Superhero is the lowest form of escapism, meant only to pacify. I don't really think any great storytelling is going to come out of that machine until that inane ideology can be put to rest. I think stories are better when they carry the spirit of what came before without having to be a representation of said thing.
One thing I don't hear many people mention is the idea that super heros and movies in general encourage imaginary confusion with reality. How many peoples energies are devoted to escaping the reality of their day to day existence ?
Ummm...no. Maybe some people can't tell the difference, but most can. As I see it, talking about the good Marvel movies up to Endgame, the superhero movies (Marvel anyway) are about making difficult choices and the need to make sacrifices to help other people. It's exactly what we all have to do. Things are just dramatized by them having various powers, which I see as analogous to all of us having various abilities and weaknesses.
That argumenat. is as specious as saying violent movies and video games cause large-scale bad events (you know the kind I mean, that we're not allowed to even talk about anymore). If it were true, everybody would be doing that, but it's only a vanishingly small percentage.
It's ironic that people of ancient Greek were more transcendent and elevated in their thinking while people of today live no more than animal on instinctual auto pilot.
The voices that survived antiquity are the Jordan Petersons of their time. Faulty thinking, sin, etc has always been a perennial human problem.
I believe that is by design if you get what I’m saying…
Upper class Ancient Greek
@@ellienavarro4230 Upper class Ancient Greek ? Why would that even matter in an Ancient world ?
Even Kings of the time wiped their ass with a stick. And they used to trade gold bars for a handful of pepper. That how poor living condition was back then.
And yet these guys sit down and invented ethic and philosophy, hard hitting enquiry about life and death and what it mean to be a moral human and stuff.
I suggest they use a projection of themselves when writing all the characters.
Which superhero movies are they talking about?
2 heroes! Both from an older generation. Whom I respect, and won't deride, as Ham did his father 😉
Brilliant
9:18 into video: the descendants of Ham were the Egyptians according to the Old Testament; and according to the Testament, it was the Hebrews not the Egyptians that were "the enslaved"; and furthermore in fact according to the Old Testament, the Egyptians enslaved the Hebrew; so, Jordan's Biblical interpretation on that particular point seems to be back assed backwards.
Have you thought about this all by yourself?
400 mill spent on women centric captain Marvel movie, what is super crystal clear now is if you tell men long enough how they been oppressive since the dawn of time. THEY DONT GIVE YOU MONEY FOR YOUR LECTURE 😅
who would have thought?
Marvel has become less about the people and more about "the message". The MCU for phases 1-3 and some of early phase 4, were about people, and they were the reason we cared what happened. Now it's about "what the message is" and it does so at the expense of what makes us humans and people

Nobody happy. You can't give people what they ask for apparently. It will never live up to their expectations unfortunately.
There is much of truth and wisdom here.
- well Arnold has been ready to battle back the Antichrist as the Terminator for years now and even when he was the Governor of California -we all have to remember this
What disturbs ME about modern superhero films is that they make men out of women and women out of men.
And humans create while AI is created.
I'm pretty sure humans get "created," too.
The dangerous choice of our past was to opt to be lazy or complacent because life favored the strong and active. Modern society has been constructed as an inversion of that dilemma.
Praise the lord
God bless you
Aaargh I got so frustrated that they didn't develop their idea on why and how the flood could not have come as a consequence of not being environmental enough ! Sure, you might say that at the time of Noah, they didn't have the technology to produce and use titanic amounts of energy as today, but that merely begs the question : how can you demonstrate that the flood even in our time could not come as a consequence of not being environmental enough ? Anyone know of any link where Jordan Peterson might be discussing precisely this at length ?
Some claim Tamerlane exceeded Mao in death count... The Muslim slavers in Africa supposedly killed 100 million in forced marches. Mao was singular but not unique. I suspect he is being reincarnated, politically, as you read this.
The conquest of India may have been the bloodiest 400 million

Transgumanism isn’t even close to possible, it’s entirely out of reach. AI is just computers running software designed by programmers. It actually an example of intelligent design in that sense. Consciousness is external to the brain and can never be mapped by a computer
Actually, in Leviticus it is commanded not to expose the nakedness of your father. The ancient Jews understood this to mean you are not to sleep with your father's wife. Ham was not cursed for poking fun at his drunk dad. He was cursed because while his father was incapacitated, he slept with his mother.
Wait...did I miss the part about superheroes? I heard about Noah, pretty sure nothing about Superman.
I just watched The Ghostbusters with my daughter. Answer the Call. Absolutely horrible movie, no story, no realness at all and it looked like a cartoon with people in it. Atrocious movie
War and great suffering will be the thing that reminds and grounds these recent generations.
What Disturbs Me About Modern Superhero Films is how repetitive they are. Also, if you're over ten, why are you interested in "superheroes"?
Crystals grow when molecules that are alike get close to each other and stick together, forming chemical bonds that act like Velcro between atoms. Mineral crystals cannot just start forming spontaneously - they need special conditions and a nucleation site to grow on.
Nucleation site: tiny crevices where free gas-liquid surface is maintained or spots on the heating surface with lower wetting properties.
Similarly, human beings become capable of passing on the traits of what it is to be human when they are in an environment that allows them to grow as they ought. “So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” (Ephesians2:19-22.)
What disturbs me, I’m not one.
Generally, super hero movies centers around the narcissistic needs of our ego. The need of be different, better, admired. To have power overa the rest etc... but a Good super hero movie finds a balance between that and other things (Batman begins is a Goodyear examole of a more complex and nuanced themes) but woke super hero movies are borderline sociopathic X-rays of the revolting minds that wrote them.
Finally an intellectual group of commenters on these UA-cam videos. 👍
Of course the magical super-yahtzees are not a fan of super heroes
Bear hollow because they're riding a script about the superheroes they are not the ones that created the superheroes there is a difference
Feminist: You can't spell heroes without HER!

I would only be shocked if most Christians actually knew what was in the Bible
"Death is good"
No. It's not.
Thanks for honoring my freedom of speech.
When Jordan preaches either Catholic or Protestant doctrine as being literal truth ... he no-doubt believes that HE is a superhero.
And had Jesus been a real religious Jew ... he no-doubt would have believed that when he preached Judaism as being literal truth... that HE also was a superhero.
There shouldn't be any doubt that no matter which religion ... it goes to the HEAD of the preacher ... and in turn ... gives off the "AIR" of superhero.
Anyone can look back in history with any excuse for dictators like Mao or anyone else. Western civilization were also had dictators which were monarchies and they still exist today and try to exert power behind the scenes. Groups of people from different countries shouldn't use history except not to fall into the Same mistakes. All people living in a corrupt society have problems even Peterson. In fact, most of them learn about psychology but spend the majority of their time looking and analyzing other people's flaws then their own analysis and self improvement. Alot of psychiatrists are stuck on diagnosis than prognosis. The problem with prognosis is by the time people have fallen apart and have no soul or individuality they end of up as slaves to the system of tyrants. Prognosis would mean you would have to live with a person to recondition them enough to offset a destructive sociopath.And the present system doesn't offer that kind of long term environment and social rehabilitation. Sociopaths are generally fear motivated so they will resist relationship due to abuse from relationships from their past.
thanks to the western civilization you can used this western civilization technology and the western european values like individual fredom..... count your blessings my friend....from a third world country immigrant.
