All I can say is thank you Dr.Peterson for making these lectures available to us unfortunates too old, poor or far away to come to U of T and have our minds boggled in person. I just sort of stumbled onto your chanel link surfing last week and it's all I've listened to since. As an electrical engineer by trade I get a decent amount of mental challenge day to day, but nothing like the cerebral carpet bombing your lectures have provided so far. When I was in school a "holy shit" moment was when some doofus set the lab on fire. Here it seems to be when you dispense a piece of information that makes several things I've never even tried to understand suddenly seem clear (or close to it) while simultaneously blowing holes in things I assumed I understood. It's like the perspective shift of psychedelic drugs without the frustration of sobering up and seeing that the revelatory thoughts you wrote down are actually finger paintings of sea horses and the lyrics to a tampon commercial jingle. Maybe this stuff doesn't come across as heavy to others, but it's been intense for me so far. Can't wait to see what kinds of other goodies lurk ahead in this lecture series, your book, or any of the other daunting works referenced therein. Again, thank you for putting this stuff out there for us. It feels good to have curiosity back.
Had a similar effect on me. I'm pretty well read and a lecturer myself (not in Petersons league) but it's been a long hard road. The PC thing destroyed my former career, it's a long story, but I bounced back. I like Petersons focus on the pursuit of truth and his ideas around religion being more evolutionary than ideological. Those ideas really hit me on something that was deep and which I'd always pushed away. In the end my own struggle with PC has set me on a road of knowledge and discovery for which in a funny way I am grateful. Finding people like Peterson, and many others, would never have happened without that struggle (though I had enough in me to question PC at the start). I think Peterson is a very important figure culturally and intellectually. I have not come across another, certainly this century, who's at his level. His commitment to 'telling it like it is' puts many academics today to shame.... I liked your comment, that's why I'm writing this, perhaps as a fellow traveller. All the best! ps loved your 'cerebral carpet bombing' analogy! You have a great turn of phrase, hope you keep using it!
+Abstractacus my friend, look for thelastpsychiatrist, i guess i miss spelled it, im on a bad keyboard. hes as good as d. pet. but theres only written stuff
OK will do, thanks!
Haha
The banana who lived on the moon smiled at the dancing ants that sailed the sugar sea to the isle of the penguin god..
I love when he’s in his place with receptive hungry souls, his smiling, joking, he’s just so loving to kids and people, I hope he feels as good as he makes us all feel!
It’s hard not to compare him to a literal jesus
I was that suffering nihilist who noticed he was suffering due to nihilism. I was basically a step off from suicidal. I was in the middle of approaching the issue of being afraid to die rationally to see if I could find a way to kill myself without being aware of it so that fear wouldn't stop me from going through with it when I stumbled across Jordan Peterson's talk about responsibility and how it gives life meaning. Basically I'm alive today because of this guy. But yeah man, nihilism is a monster.
Then I'm glad you are still here. Stay safe.
Good luck dude. Hope I can find a similar path
Nihilism no bueno. Welcome back.
Love you dude, thanks so much for sharing your testimony. It's really powerful, man. You may have gone through that, and have been freed from it as you were, in some large part so that you could help others who face the same thing, through your testimony. Really powerful, emotional to read about your triumph, man (or woman.) I sincerely hope things are going well for you these days.
Its basically being ignorant enough to let your natural instincts kick in.
I drive in my car for about 10-12 hours a day for a living and I downloaded the entire Maps of Meaning course and listened to it over a one week period. I really enjoyed the course and found it very profound. Thank you, Dr. Peterson. Now on to the Psychology course!
10-12 hours holy shit. im a truck driver but drive 3-4 hours/day. Podcasts and audiobooks are a life saver. i look forward to work actually lol
Stephen Johnson Lol same here. my mind has expanded so much over the last two years listening to this stuff!
I’m also a truck driver and I’ve listened to so many Jordan Peterson videos over the past year and a half that I could probably teach his classes for him lol
10 to 12 hours a day, everyday? Come on now.
You are lucky to have this much time without interruptions
What a time we live in to have access to all this information. I'm paying 70 dollars a month for unlimited data and I can listen to some of the greatest minds while I work. Unbelievable. Just trying to get better and better everyday and watching Jordan Peterson really helps me to get a grip on all aspects of life
Here's some deep chill-out songs for you to enjoy Sam...knock yourself out brother.
SONIC FOXX MUSIC.
Please share what are some of the great minds that are helping your growth as a person!
technology is amazing.
I’m from South America I couldn’t afford college but I’m so grateful that you put out these lectures for free.
To be able to access this kind of lecture, for free is so amazing. These are the most valuable lectures I've ever witnessed, and I spent 5 years in university..
peterson. you make a difference
No kidding !
1:28:41
Dr. Peterson!
I really love you. You are brave, honest, caring, and good. I feel sad for the people who do not understand that ; they are in the dark mind of IT while you are filled with the light of a star. So avoid the black holes, You really can’t shine light in there

I'm 46 years of age and I'm no dope. I've been a thinking person all my life. But I am, only in recent years, beginning to appreciate the importance and value of having truly learned people like Jordan in our society and I am really getting a lot from his lectures. I wish I had had the influence of a teacher like him when I was in my late teens / early twenties. To any of you students out there who have attended or currently attend his lectures - You are very lucky. Make the most of it. This is what a REAL education is all about. This man is a "teacher" in the truest sense of the word. On the subjects of teaching, schooling, education and life in general - I would highly recommend that people also check out the various talks and writings of John Taylor Gatto.
He is not the only professor who carries you away with his oration.
To be honest he does come through as a biased man. His consuming hatred for the Russians and Germany (and probably for non whites, non Christians and Moslems as well) clouds his view of reality.
And, I am 70 plus and I have seen others who could not , despite excellent intellect see the whole picture because of presupposed notions on some subjects.
I asked myself, after listening to some of his rambling lecture this question. What did I take away from his lectures?
Answer; Not much really. Others before him have said the same things .
His views are not nuanced, nor deeply insightful or perceptive, and rather pedagogical.
But then he is a professor after all.
Azzy M I can see what you are getting at. He clearly does not question the official WW2 narrative and I wonder if his belief in freedom of speech would extend as far opposing the criminalization of holocaust denial. I doubt it somehow. I would strenuously disagree with him in this whole area but I don't believe in throwing the baby out with the bath-water.
I don't write off people for being the product of a lifetime of ubiquitous and constant brainwashing.
However, I can't see why you would say that he hates Russians when he clearly loves the famous Russian authors and he says nothing else which suggests that he does. He clearly has no time for Soviet Communism but that is not the same thing as hating Russians. He has extremely unquestioning view off WW2 which informs his dislike of National Socialism but that does not mean he hates Germans.
He has said nothing, in my opinion, which suggests that he hates non-whites, non-Christians, and non-Muslims. I think you are taking his extremely narrow and biased view on WW2 and drawing a lot of tenuous conclusions from that.
His lectures can be a bit "stream of consciousness" (some more than others) but that does not mean there is no point or value to them. Of course people have said before what he is saying now. I doubt that you, in your 70 years, have said an awful lot that is completely original either. Everyone draws from what has gone before. There is nothing new under the sun. He is a teacher after all. His job is to impart knowledge and ideas which he, in turn, has learned from others.He is not claiming to be messianic oracle! Finally, so what if you are 70 years of age and you get nothing from his lectures.Perhaps it is exactly BECAUSE you are 70 years of age that you don't. You have lived a lot longer. You have more life experience. You have probably read more extensively than someone a lot younger. But just because you are 70 and you are not impressed, it doesn't mean a person in their late teens and early 20's won't benefit from his lectures. They are, after all, aimed primarily at people in this age group - people at a completely different stage in their life to you.
SMELLTHEBULL I agree with a lot of what you say, at least partially. But my overall impression is not appreciative of all the gushing and fawning I see. Yes he knows how to speak well and that is good for 20 YO freshmen. Loving Solzhenitsyn ? Well Solzhenitsyn serves to strengthen his views that is why. He does not touch up to the events that led to the Stalin era and what that means for us in the US today. True No I am not the source of any profundity. I just listen to what intelligent men have said to me in their books. Nor do I claim any such faculty.
I am an ordinary man and having heard his lectures and absorbed as much as I could, these are my opinions, off the cuff. Have no intentions to defend them vigorously either.
Eg., what I find rather annoying was that he touches on some subjects, makes a rather probing and incisive comment but then sort of tapers off non committally ( if that be a word). But that might just be my interpretation.
+mariusz sabadasz There was once a person, who saw people's ideas as the people themselves.
John Taylor Gatto is also super awesome. I met him at a home schooling conference where he spoke in the 1990s. JBP mentions Gatto in a lecture, and like you, advocates reading him.

“I've concluded that genius is as common as dirt. We suppress genius because we haven't yet figured out how to manage a population of educated men and women. The solution, I think, is simple and glorious. Let them manage themselves.”

Another great is Haim Ginott.

Listened to you on JRE (Joe Rogan Experience), who else has found this AMAZING intelligent person from JRE?
Dr Peterson thank you for making your lectures public! You are one of the few people trying to make this world a better place and we truly truly appreciate you!
Seems we are on a similar path, I find it peculiar 2 young men are listening to this man at similar times.
Leonardo Donato I did.
Same
Came here from JRE, and dedicated to watching every lecture I can now. How did this happen?
Yup. Guilty as charged... found this after watching JRE but I've been aware of Prof Peterson for a while. End of episode one and I'm still a nihilistic atheist. Let's see if that changes.
Jordan mentioned in this lecture about how he asked someone if they would choose depression or the illness destroying their joints. After hearing him speak about this more recently, my heart breaks knowing he was referring to his daughter.
Same here. Glad she's doing so much better.
Yeah I picked that up too, it shows the depth of his character somehow, the things he's talking about are not textbook stuff, but real. (not saying that textbook stuff aren't real)
I wondered the same thing. How awful the depression must have been for her.
i 've watched so many of your lectures that whenever i waste my time , i hear ur voice and i realise im wasting my time and potential(thats precisely what i here ) and get on my desk . all the things u 've said about meaning in lifting responsibility is real. I feel less anxious and really good , all because of you and the responsibility that i 've voluntarily taken...i feel strong. thank you from the depth Mr Peterson.
1:28:40 man that sound just got me out of my hyper concentrated state and made me laugh out loud
Who farted?
Lol someone totally farted 😂
Yep, that's a fart right there
im also lol
i'm an engineering grad student and i love listening to these lectures as if i'm a psychology student.
whatever gumgum me too
Theoretical computer science here.
Awesome.
These lectures are way beyond psychology classes. Prof. Peterson is really a systems engineer/analyst. His systems happen to be humans. As a computer scientist I find them as relevant as algorithm analysis :-)
I am a civil engineer with 16 years experience in my profession and I listen to Dr. Peterson lectures meticulously. What he covers is the human condition and the world and ideologies that influences everyone.
3rd year Informatics Engeneering reporting in, Peterson has made me question my carrer choice several times, but I figured out that I can be interested in many things while only pursuing a carrer in one of them. At least for now
Peterson is such a breath of fresh air ♥️😍
That's for sure!
No he's not...he's a HUMAN WAKE-UP CALL who says...
"REEEEALLY...you think so?...THINK AGAIN.
Especially at 1:28:41 !
It's funny you mention that: scoot to 1:28:38 of the video. The sound of fresh air! :)
SAND MAN Peterson doesn't fart or poop.
1:06:36 he’s talking about his own daughter. He didn’t want to reveal it until he published his book
He ended up revealing it later in his lectures before book was released
Nice to see someone with the Team Fortress 2 Engineer as their profile picture 😊👍
I replied the same, had not seen your comment yet.
I'm glued to every word. He meanders, but somewhere in there is a stab at what might be the most important ideas we will ever explore.
I think it's fascinating, watched about 40 mins and seemed like content for 2 hours or more.
I'm here for the meandering
I think his mental turbulence is facinating
no student is sleeping during this class, that's for sure....
I disagree that he's meandering or turbulent. I think he's calculated that this is as much as we can handle.
How very generous of you to put these lectures online. My sincerest thanks to you, both for your generosity and your courage.
Those students are lucky to have the presence of this genuine intellectual man who actually chose to use his intelligence for good not for himself
The ability to have this full set of lectures at my finger tips without any personal cost is proof of an intellectual revolution beyond comprehension. A good playlist of podcasts/UA-cam videos has had a significantly greater impact on the way i view the world than the years of my cookie cutter college experience. We are on the cusp of something incredible. People like Jordan give me limitless hope for the future of society.
So excited and I'm not even in the class!
Yes you were
We don't have to take the exam though
Hi Dr. Jordan Peterson,
Thank you for uploading all the lectures, as I have watched most of them. Eager to see new ones coming up. It has been life-changing and transforming for me and the people around me. Not the best thing for my field of study, as I end up watching your lectures instead of studying for my own exam. Worth it, though.
Best regards and thank you again,
Andrius
I'm here, cleaning my student room in Strasbourg, while listening to your lectures.
You don't know how much I'm grateful for your work, Professor.
Que Dieu vous bénisse.
Professor Peterson, thank you for sharing this wealth of knowledge freely for those of us who want to learn but cannot afford it any longer
If only those kids knew back then how privileged they were to sit in that classroom and dialogue with one of the most influential thinkers alive... They definitely got their money's worth
You are absolutely riveting Dr Peterson. I'm an Orthodox Christian and I appreciate your unsympathetic assessment of the abject evil of the Bolshevist yoke. That's a rare position within the hallowed halls of modern academia.
59:15/1:00:28
Sit down. Sit down. Listen to me.
And this is the final lesson.
Always attack a man's strengths.
And i don't mean weaknesses.
No, I mean strengths.
No one ever expects you to attack the strongest part of the fort.
Up the middle. That's where the action is.
And it's the same in life.
Look, I know you got demons. But don't run away.
Attack them head on as they're coming to you full speed.
Because that, my friend...
...*Is Living.*
*~ Sal Bandini.*
gabriel montreuil nice quote i like that alot
I really like that quote... The time frame you tagged where Jordan is taking about the morons and there use of straw man augments....
Whenever I'm arguing with someone and they pull out the straw man I say
"Hey Dorothy, nice straw man, let me know when you get back from OZ and have legitimate argument for me..."
Ready to Rumble is amazing lmao
gabriel montreuil dam thats so tru
Where is this quote from ?
These lectures are great. I listen to a ridiculous amount of them throughout my day while I work. I wish those who hate Peterson or think he's just some angry "anti-SJW" white guy... and nothing more. Would listen to him discuss this stuff. It's so evident that he's a peaceful, empathetic human being with a genuine interest in mankind and the human condition. The polar opposite of what many of his critics believe. All they know about him is the "pronoun use" debate. Which is like 1% of what Dr. Peterson is.
Thank you for sharing these. I've found your lectures very helpful and encouraging.
Jordan B Peterson this is great. I've always hated school but loved learning. I'm going to watch them all. definitely willing to pay for this type of stuff. thanks.
I'm excited to watch this series! Your Pinocchio story on Rubin brought me.
One of the greatest teachers of my time. Watch all of him you can. Leave everything else.
I find your genuine perspicacious intellect to only be enhanced by that delightful sense of humor; downright entertaining! I feel so privileged to have access to your lectures here, Dr.Peterson! Sincerely, "Thank-You!" ;-)
Mr Peterson that lecture is an amazing eye opener. Cant wait to watch the rest . thank you.
Just remember that everything this guy said is only pathos.
David Sanderson then it could be exceedingly boring. Humans are emotional creatures and if a professor isn't passionate it is a shame.
ENTHUSIASM, NOT PATHOS. David Sanderson, I imagine your political beliefs are more liberal that Dr. P's or you wouldn't try to be bringing him down by using a single WORD the way the SJWs do. Am I correct? Because "pathos" is ad hominem, AND is the root of the word "pathological" - whereas the root of the word "enthusiastic" (which is what I say he is) is from "Late Latin enthusiasmus, from Greek enthousiasmos "divine inspiration, enthusiasm (produced by certain kinds of music, etc.)," from enthousiazein "be inspired or possessed by a god, be rapt, be in ecstasy," from entheos "divinely inspired, possessed by a god," from en "in" (see en- (2)) + theos "god".
In short, god within.
Dr. Peterson.
After only seeing Petersen in the free speech debate recently, i never knew he was such a pleasant guy! I mean he is allways polite and such when debating, but watching him in a more "safe" and pleasent atmoshphere with people who arent attacking him, is such a joy. I instantly gained so much respect for the guy
Was a senior in hs in 1984. The day after that movie was on tv everyone in school was pretty freaked out.
Now i live in Arizona.....been to the missile sight many times.
It was used in one of the Star Trek movies.
I never thought we would reach 1999.
At the beginning of the video - it must be such satisfaction for him to hear why students are coming to his lecture and knowing that he is changing people's lives.
Did the kung flu really come from China?
We need more teachers like this to instill critical thinking, not the feel good and be afraid to hurt anyone's feelings at all cost crap that is being sold and spouted in the Universities and Colleges of today.
ouuhh .. harsh!
,, sorry i am trolling
couldn't help it
This knowledge articulated has helped me immensely. Thank you Dr. Peterson for sharing and educating us.
Feel lucky to be alive at the same time as him. When he is no longer with us (which I deeply hope is a long long time away) he will be remembered as one of the greats.
4 years later and this is here as a resource to help me in a rough patch in life. Thank you for posting these!
Excellent.
Thanks for the videos Professor Peterson.
So many people I respect adore this man. The truth of the matter is he doesn't have a selfish agenda. He's here only to help humanity in the best way he can according to how he perceives life.
Saw you on Joe Rogan. Had to look up your videos today. Watched the Gautama and Buddha, Adam and Eve this morning. Now starting this lecture from the start. This is great stuff you are sharing, thank you so much!
Starting to binge your lectures, you are brilliant.
SpiralBJJ 2 years later, any hope?
@@ianmccombs7287 unfortunally no one has ever seen or even heared from him since "the binge" started. Legends tell us he drowned in superb intellect.
21:30 "What horrible entity thought that up as a joke?" (referring to MAD). His name was John von Neumann, often cited as one of the most intelligent people who ever lived. He was a scientist and made substantial contributions to many different fields, including pretty much inventing game theory as well as the modern computer. He also worked on the Manhattan Project. Witty or not, I'm quite sure he was aware of the gravity of the situation, and it's possible that the very concept of MAD was what ultimately prevented nuclear war.
Anyway, great lecture, as always! I'm really grateful for the effort of making this available to everyone. There's a lot of wisdom here, even for those of us who have no ambition to become psychologists.
EVERY human being would benefit from JBP's wisdom. He teaches each one of us to fix ourselves first, before we try to fix anything or anyone else. He teaches us that life is struggle. We are wired for struggle. Struggle is what gives life meaning. Facing our fears is the way. And everything is about balance. The balance between order and chaos. Too much order OR too much chaos, is bad. We need both. We need both men and women, conservatives and liberals. All in balance.
@Hubert Jasieniecki Yes! The horror of it is just built-in to the way the best acronyms work. They're always a joke, preferrably an ironic joke, and optimally a pun as well, if at all possible.
One of the great perks of living in this modern age is that I can enjoy these deep philosophical conversations from the comfort of my chair with nice cup of coffee.
Although I have seen many greathinkers on youtube, you seem to fill a niche that is not often talked about.
The way I see it, there are two fundamental realities that affect our lives and around which humans build their lives.
One is the objective scientific truth, mathematical truths that tell us how matter behaves, this has been the engine of wealth and prosperity and has allowed us to progress from spearchucking tribes to putting rockets on the moon (and soon maybe even Mars), and effectively quadrupling our life expectancy in some prosperous nations.
Then there is the reality that we are social animals, and that we display certain behaviour and make pretty much all our decisions within that realm of interaction with other human beings (whether we display empathy, or seek top optimize our situation to find a suitable mate). This reality is profound, and it affects everything we do. I work alot with numbers on daily basis and I sometimes miss that human aspect, but I try to encorporate it into my work whenever I can.
I feel like I can learn alot from you on that second reality, and I feel like people are often not educated enough on this subject, many people who might not be fortunate enough to have a parent that is willing and or capable enough to teach them about this suffer as a consequence.
What I'm trying to say is that I feel enriched when I listen to your lectures, sometimes to the point where I can be emotinaly moved by them which might be kind of weird, even though I certainly do not agree with everything you say.
Thank you for uploading these lessons and I hope you will come to speak in the Netherlands one day so I can listen to you in person.
I love that you referenced The Day After, I remember how scared I was as a kid in 1984 of nuclear war, child murderers and Mcdonalds shooting sprees. There was that other TV film World War III that ended with a nuclear war. Many those were hairy times...ha.
I remember doing bomb drills in elementary school. Now that I'm aware I'm like, wtf is getting under my desk and tucking my head between my legs going to do against a nuclear bomb....ffs
Jordan Peterson is a hero of mine. Would love to talk to him over coffee or strong Canadian beer.
The Gaming Goose
Or a fine single malt by a roaring open fire.
This has been bugging me for a while, I was trying to pin point what is it I find so charismatic and compelling about Dr. Peterson,
and the intro to this lecture made it clear.
He reminds me of Feynman, the mannerisms, the look, the smiles, and above the way he picks your interest with tiny details to teach you about bigger things.
Maybe Feynman's teaching style became more expressive and conversational as he got older, but I found his Cornell lectures to be pretty formal. Peterson seems more like a really smart uncle ranting after dinner whereas Feynman's lectures are very structured.
I hope J. Peterson lives a hundred more years and still give lectures.😎
Dennis DeLaCruz His left wing detractors will not listen to him , and so they will be even less able to argue their position than they are now .
Sadly that probably means even more Antifa violence .
@@A2Z1Two3 far better for the rest of us. JP teaches PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Leave them where they are
there's something really cozy about part 1 of his 2016 lectures, especially considering it was before peterson's rise to fame, and hearing some of the kids who essentially took the class on a whim and haven't a clue what they're in for
Wow, Dostoyevsky sounds like a seriously interesting character. While I generally don't read novels, I'll be picking up Crime and Punishment. Thanks for putting these ideas out there for the layman Jordan.
read Notes From Underground. It's the greatest book on the psyche I've ever read.
Kunal Mandalia Crime & Punishment was the book that made me fall in love with literature. Just reread it a few months ago-3rd time. Pick it up mos def.
Just discovered this man tonight and thank the lord I did
sllimthg you are in for the ride of your life.
So his knowledge and wisdom doesn't die with him and can be used to push life forward and continue to positively influence people's lives.
You are light in an often hard dark world. Thank you for that
My 14 year old is home schooled and we have found a new daily lesson since watching you Jordan Peterson.
Jason Moler I was homeschooled from grades 3-12 and am not quite sold on the idea. Sounds like you’re doing everything right though. Godspeed!
Brilliant.
Hello Mr. Peterson , I would like to thank you for opening my eyes to a, very well put thought process, to look into my own life "objectively" and root out long held misbelief's I have picked up over my 40 years on this planet. I have so much to learn from you're discussions on life and how one should better themselves for the betterment of everyone else. Thank you for maximizing you're own potential for the benefit of all who are wise/humble enough to listen to the wealth of knowledge you bring to the table. Thank you again Alan.
This is 100% gold and it's a justification for the Internet fee just for these lectures alone. Three cheers for Dr Peterson.
I wrote a poem about the mental health industry with the refrain "with the blood of the camps on their hands"
This guy is bloody brilliant. Really gifted teacher . Very rare. Doing his job challenging young minds . They will never forget this experience as they age
You've got a really good heart, JP.
Can't believe the last comment is three years old... This man makes your brain and your soul just blow up. Imagine being in that classroom. Those young people were really lucky to be there
I’ve been learning from Jordan Peterson for about three years now & that’s quite a long time! I was in college studying business when I really got into him so I began to read his really dense work (his first book) & I’ve been taking it slowly. Whenever he mentions someone like Nietzsche, Carl Jung, Solzhenitsyn, Viktor Frankl, & many more I begin to read their work also. I must admit I haven’t finished his book (which I’m still working on after some time) but the process has been very influential! As I now begin my career in NYC, I am looking forward to life & because of that I wish to someday thank Jordan Peterson personally.
I was lead here from the publicized debate about freedom of speech and political correctness. I am a nursing student in Canada and I have personally experienced a professor trying to stifle my freedom of speech in her office after an ethics class. She told me that my statement about a particular religion was unprofessional and therefore could affect my grade. I appreciate Mr. Peterson's vocal concerns about freedom of speech. On a side note, the professor's attempt to stifle my freedom of speech was unsuccessful.
I only regret that I couldn't have taken this entire class when I was an undergrad. Fascinating.
I'm really upset that we're at a point in time where we have to fight for free speech against those who would take it away from us but I am glad that it led me to the videos of your lectures. I really enjoyed this first one and am looking forward to hearing the rest. It's just such a shame that something so horrible had to happen to point me in your direction.
On the bright side, those SJWs already lost: Peterson gained more viewers and we (supporters of free speech) found a very intellectual teacher, while the SJWs merely made themselves look like clowns. I'm also gonna keep watching the maps of meaning videos.
joshtheamazinganimator Why were you fingered for something? or Fingered for nothing?
Peter Codner your comment makes no sense to me. Arguing is a form of fighting.
At the risk of sounding cheesy, the heroes only reveal themselves in time of crisis.
@@swamdono No, you're not cheesy.
I was an average teenager that was annoyed of most responsibilities like work and making a budget and cleaning...I hated cleaning. But I found this man and he changed my mindset. Responsibility is meaning and therefore happiness. And I started having a better mindset, wanted to change my character, didn't want to be so bloody ignorant, made a budget... Thank you Jordan! You told me WHY I should do these things instead which no one explained to me as clearly as you.
He just speaks the truth and does so without apology. In today's world when intellectuals speak the truth they do so with ether an air of apology, hostility towards the truth or with the desire to believe that truth is not so.
I accidentally learned about Unit 731 a couple years ago.
He's right. That shit is hard core and absolutely not for casual reading.
MissourHanzai Nuke 'em again as far as I'm concerned.

A reasonable comment... on the internet?
PAÏEN! PAÏEN!
Yeah, as a Japanese citizen, I always think how everyone looks at the Nazis as the epitome of evil (which they are) but literally turn a blind eye on the Japanese atrocities except Nanking (or Nanjing, depends on how you pronounce it). Unit 731 is literally one the most sinister points human history in my opinion.
Those human beings did some evil deeds. Aren't you capable of doing the exact same?
Yes, and I enforce that capability with my comments on the internet.
I believe I'm a pretty intelligent guy and I try to keep my ego in check about it. Yet, every time I hear JBP speak about anything, I'm absolutely floored.
Thank you Dr.Peterson! I've been suffering with psychosis depression for a few years now, I'm struggling with my existence. I know that by learning from your lectures I'm going to draw a lot of positives, that will help me find some meaning and some answers to questions that suffocate me everyday. Respect from England.
Peterson is so hard to turn off. I can't stop watching him.
The beef eating has really made a difference from how he looks here! brilliant talk. Every minute was fantastic!
1:28:40
*awkward turtle*
It was Jordan, look at how he moves.
It wasn't a fart, it was a religious communication.
Jordan Peterson farts in the general direction of ur preferred pronouns!
Completely unshaken by trivial gas
It was a chair squeak! LOL
A true educator sharing this material with the world. Thank you, Dr. Peterson!
I am made comfortable with his lack of ego and his efforts to be precise and accurate and genuine and sincere
It's interesting to see the comparison of JBP's general persona then (2016) and now (2018). He was much more at ease then, laughing easily. Today, as he says, there is an underlying "terror" he lives with on a daily basis, fearing he might say something irredeemably "wrong" that would suddenly end the popular following that has helped so many, for the better.
He seems stricter and more rigid. The stress load, schedule and publicity will surely age him, but at a respectable cost.
I watched this in 0.25x speed. Seven hours well spent.
These old classroom lectures really changed my life. I met the love of my life 6 years ago. I was just starting to get obsessed with this stuff and Peterson is the reason we made radical honesty the foundation of our relationship and nothing has ever worked out better in my entire life.
Thank God for your decision to put this material online, the 0.75 youtube play speed setting, and the English subtitles underneath.
Up next? The same 1st Lesson, in the 2017 series!
I wish I had a teacher like this at school... I may have actually learned something, and actually bothered to stay.
@Truelove I just meant I left as soon as possible (at 16) because I didn't find it stimulating.
Hello professor. I came across your lectures by a suggestion from Reddit. I'm planning to watch the entire lecture as my interest is piqued. However, I have to ask you something regarding the Hansel and Gretel story and all the things that you mentioned about.
The thing is, I too lost all sense of value from my life and my mother supports me for the past 5 years while I aimlessly live in my basement, and I'm too old for that. The thought that she's helping me and it's destructive to me occurred way too many times. I've been depressed but thankfully I consider myself out of it, I found a sense of value through improving myself by working out 5 times a day, meditating and read non-fictional books voraciously. But I don't want to end up either as a moronic psycho shooter who's mad for not figuring out how things work when he was younger, and I don't want to just grab a career for the sake of surviving. I want to do something valuable, meaningful to me. I do want to stand on my own 2 feet, and it's really hard when they treat you as an incapable of reasoning person.
Back to my mother's case. The mere act of her suggesting things that I'm about to do makes me feel that I'm giving her the impression that she's the sole author of my thoughts, and it's wrecking me hard. I somehow manage to counter her by saying things first out loud, but I can't tell whether it works or not.
So 2 questions, actually one and the mother one optional: How does one person in my situation goes about building a value system in order to find a goal worthy of living and working towards (I'm impoverished) and two, if it's possible to give a tip or two on how to handle such H&L witches in a non-violent way, because I can tell that there's gonna be many ahead.
*don't assume that it is NECESSARILY the case that you are being
dependent. The workouts and reading are good ides. Maybe you are also
somewhere where the employment levels are low, etc. So don't beat
yourself up too much.* - Yes, brilliant reply to this issue facing many.
I'm in the same situation, but the situation is my fault in that i had a disorder (body dysmorphic disorder) but never dealt with it, partly because it was painful and partly (being honest) because i was too lazy to get out into the world and work. Now im also a too old guy living in his room. I used to be a perfectly capable and fun person, but the isolation over the years has taken its toll and I suppose I've been resigned to death. Not in that I will kill myself, but that I'm ready for it when it comes. When you spoke about hansel and grettel, it struck a chord. I know for a fact my parents would like me to be independent, and it has taken a toll on them to see me go from such a promising young man to almost a mute. The thing is I don't even know where to begin, or even if i truly want to bother getting myself sorted, or how. Being honest, I think I'm just writing this for some attention and I actually have no intention of getting better. It's weird because ye have this idea that you are or at least were a good person, then realise, maybe i have just become one of the bad ones.
using the terms 'good' and 'bad' loosely
Teo Vlafd: Thanks for sharing. You doing better? Keep fighting.
Well mate, if anything, by writing these thoughtful lines I hope you've realised by now that you're far from being incapable of reasoning.
I should be asleep right now. I knew I shouldn't have started a Jordan Peterson video. He captivates me immediately.
Your levity and laughter are a delight, Mr. Peterson - may your many patrons multiply it bounds above the dregs the SJWs wish to share with you.
I'm guessing half the people who thumb down Peterson's videos, don't even watch them. They just see his name, click on the video, thumbs down it, then click on his next video and repeat.
I've read liberal comments against Peterson, they are either intentionally building strawmen to defeat, or they haven't listened to anything he has said.
Exactly what I thought. So true :)
Please do avoid using the term 'liberal' as a blanket term for 'left-wing idealogues' (as Peterson would put it). I consider myself a liberal and so do millions of others who are very open to Peterson's ideas.
@@BNconductor as does Peterson
@@BNconductor Well said!
Checkmate, libtards. xd
FYI: The largest H-Bomb ever produced was the "Tsar Bomba" by the USSR. It had an explosive yield of 50 megatons, approximately 2380 times the yield of the bomb detonated over Hiroshima.
It is interesting to note that the bomb was actually designed to have an explosive yield of 100 megatons - but it was judged to heavy to be delivered by ICBMs and its blast radius would most certainly have vapourized any flight crew attempting to drop it at that time.
The bomb, of course, has no tactical use - it is meant purely to decimate completely any large population center.
+Joel Foo I don't believe its correct historically that Hitler committed suicide.
The Russians didn;t believe it, the Americans suspected he escaped to
S. America, and there is substantial evidence. The truth is more
important than any propaganda-- either way.
Think maybe you've taken the yield for Nagasaki bomb, to split hairs. 'Little boy' the Hiroshima bomb was smaller in the order 13-18kt.. Also mildly interesting to note the the Tsar Bomba had a maximum theoretical yield of 100 Mt as if 50 wasn't enough.
There are also videos of similar megaton explosions, maybe also the test of the bomb, on youtube if you want to witness the horror.
@@cecilhenry9908 But, speaking of truth, did Hitler have a political career in S. America? If he didn't, then what exactly is the importance of that particular bit of truth
FYI - if the purpose of a nuke is to destroy land area (ok, to destroy humans and their artifacts on land area), then your megatonnage is better allocated as a number of small nukes than as one big one. This is because a bigger nuke gives you a bigger spherical zone of destruction in three dimensions. But if you double the radius of your three-dimensional sphere in the air, which requires eight times the volume and thus eight times the megatonnage, you also double the size of the two-dimensional circular zone of destruction on the land, which gives you an inclrease of only four times the area. So, eight times the megatonnage, four times the value. Whereas if instead you made eight identical nukes, you would get eight times the value. See: two-thirds power law
@Jordan B. Peterson, I appreciate your research into the Columbine shooters. I remember that day vividly. I remember how our teachers in my school were grief stricken because they had connections to the students and teachers that were slain in that school. Though one edit, it wasn't Detroit, it was a suburb of Denver. Thank you.
Thank you Mr Peterson for giving us these lectures. This is high quality material. Apreciate it!
Intelligence and wit don’t always go hand in hand, but it’s safe to say that Dr. Peterson has both. Gotta love the introduction and the instant rapport he seems to have with his students.
I have shit to do but I seriously can't stop listening!
During this lecture, little did Dr. Peterson know he was going to be a public rock star in the intellectual arena. One person can make a seismic change. Hopefully our youth continue to listen to Jordan.
Thankyou Mr. Peterson. You've coherently laid out specific ways we interpret our cognitive thought, the yin yang off our human nature inside the mind, taking in all the greatest philosophers ideas and knowings to lay them out on a table for everyone else to enjoy and absord. I'm almost finished watching this first video, and God.. so many emotions are being brought to my attention that I might have other wise overlooked. I am thoroughly intrigued listening to this first video on maps of meaning. Before moving to the second video, I feel its necessary to rewatch this one multiple times to engrave as much information as I possibly can. Astoundingly enlightening, and I couldn't be more thankful that you have opened the door for everyone to have the opportunity to take a seat in your college level lecture, truly grateful, thankyou.
So I love Dr Peterson. He is just amazing. But I want to point out 1:28:40 for all of us still in the seventh grade (developmentally-speaking).
Brilliant! A public lecture on this topic or similar topics is needed with a Q&A.
there is !
After my breakup with the" love of my life" who I was convinced that I would spend my life with I had dipped into depression. Not ever pondering suicide, just lost. I had let my relationship define who I was. I found Dr. Peterson and have been listening to anything and everything I can find. Something about the way he speaks really struck me. I was ever only"agreeable" to my X. I was never really an agreeable person before her. Learning how to get in touch with my "shadow" has helped me get back to the person I once was.
As a student who has just graduated high school, going into university shortly, I can only pray I have the opportunity to engage with a teacher like Jordan Peterson. It is not with many people do you get the feeling that you are undergoing active growth when they speak. In fact, I get goosebumps simply listening to the man.
Good luck. Go to this university to attend these classes if you can. Inspirational professors are very few and far between.
I remember falling down the rabbit hole when I was introduced to Sam Harris three years ago. Going down the same hole with Jordan Peterson.
It is most probably a one way trip. There is only one hole but some paths are dead ends.
Me too. I'm into week 3 of continuous listening to him for hours each day.
I am also fascinated, he is clearly an incredible thinker! Should you be interested I can also highly recommend Ken Wilber 's work? It could be your next rabbit hole ;-)
It's not a mistake that impacts the argument at all, but Raskolnikov's victim wasn't his landlady. You're mixing her up with the pawnbroker.
I’m so thankful that these lectures are posted online for all of us to watch. Peterson has so much insight and wisdom, I feel blessed to have been introduced to him two years ago when he was thrust into the spotlight regarding bill C-16.
I am so glad these courses are available on You Tube.......its changed my life.
