It's blown my mind how supportive and encouraging Jordan's community is. Really touched me seeing some of the comments under this video. He has had a huge impact on my life too. I'm getting my life in order. I have decided to make animated Jordan Peterson videos. Here's my first attempt: ua-cam.com/video/O2Q28Gmiy24/v-deo.html
The mental picture one should take away is akin to an Angel, dressed in a light far brighter than the sun, arriving in someones hour of need. That should be your mental state when saving yourself, solving your problems, and helping others. Let your strength be without end.
@Minimalism Your user name is self explanatory to your underwhelming assessment of both this Elite Psychology channel and Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson stands out as an elite psychologest in no small part because of his broad spectrum comprehensive working knowledge of what a healthy individual's emotional and psychological foundations are built upon, being able to effectively communicate and motivate on an *elite* level that most everyone can relate to, of how to identify and overcome stumbling blocks within each individual to work towards becoming the best version of oneself possible. This in my opinion is maximization of the human experience, becoming all one is capable of being. The opposite of minimalism on a personal level, which to me means "be the least one can be."
He is still a pill popping crazed crybaby, and his core philosopy of individualism and suffering is poisonus to your soul. Watch this ua-cam.com/video/WXYuqrO8LLo/v-deo.html, then read this: www.amazon.com/Jordanetics-Journey-Humanitys-Greatest-Thinker-ebook/dp/B07JY9XV38. That should change the minds of you lobster boys and hopefully you will stop being lobsters and become real men instead.
I made a girl at work cry this week by showing her a conversation I had about her with a colleague. She's great at what she does and is a top quality person, but she doesn't know it because nobody tells her. It can mean so much and it's so easy for us to give out 🙂
It's Una Mattina by Ludovico Einaudi. Amazing music. It may not be needed, but it's still good and pleasant music and adds to it in this case, imo. Dis coming from someone who normally laughs at Americans adding piano or violin to anything even remotely emotional :P
The DAD we all never had that we dreamed /needed! I was suicidal and this man literally SAVED my life….in my darkest days in my old room. I watch HOURS of him and it motivated ME to fight for my life and make something of yourself. Life matters, make it matter!
My wife battles depression and anxiety and i tried to turn her on to some of his videos to try to help her. She didn’t want any part of it. Said she didn’t agree with his views on woman. It’s frustrating for me because i know he’s a great man that just wants to help people.
I agree. And looking at your pic, it's not exactly on topic but, I feel the same when I see heroes like Superman and Spider-Man be brought to tears. Not that I'm comparing him to either though. But, when you see superheroes like them feel that way, you get the sense of, "I'm not supposed to see them cry or see them sad." That just makes it even more impactful.
@@heinrichwoogue8887 I am the one who truly believe in God. For me it's much easier to live and die, one day It's all about accepting the death! I am Orthodox,from Srbija...now JP healing himself in Belgrade, Srbija ! I wish him the best, so to you .😍
@Shlok Ahuja I find him mildly amusing, but he's forever playing the 'victim' card. He's a hopeless Academic, but I loved his discussion with radical feminist Camille Paglia because I"m a huge fan of hers. I love her and so does JP.
Don't forget that he's also a grifter who uses fake empathy to pretend he cares and draw people in. I was fooled for a long time, but he's recently shown his true colors.
@@billybatson7852 grifter?? Fake empathy?? What are you on about? Jordan Peterson is an extremely intelligent guy and he genuinely cares about what other people are thinking, he is more than just a psychologist, he is a living legend.
@@caspamasters That's what I believed for a long time. I listened to his words very carefully. At one point in his many interviews, he said that trans men and women were clearly going through a very rough time. But later, he attacked Elliot Page for no reason and was cruel as fuck about it. Then, he refused to apologize. This happened just before he was launching a new channel on The Daily Wire. He knew what Twitter's policies were. He had attacked a bikini model but that didn't get him suspended. So then, just a week or so before the launch of his show, he decides to be an asshole to Page. Why? Because he was TRYING to get suspended because 1) he knew it would get him a ton of attention and 2) so he could whine like a little bitch about it on his new show. That makes him a grifter. He is a heartless piece of shit who pretends to care for people for profit. But his actions in recent months have shown me his true colors. For a guy who says that you should "clean your room" before going out into the world, his room is dirty as hell and full of hate. You want to follow him? That's your choice. But it's all an act. He has proven that much. Living legend? My god... I hope you wake up someday to how stupid that sounds.
@Nicht von dieser Welt He would welcome cirticism if it was valid, he doesn't need protection from that. What he needs protection from is being slandered by the media who outright lie about what he stands for and paint him as some alt-right figurehead. There have been and still are attempts to ruin his image when he's just trying to help people to fit some weird narrative that the a part of the left wants to paint him in.
Steyn this is beyond left or right. It s about the toxic human nature to boycott elses success. I'm not sure if I am translating this in english properly, but imagine if you have a big pail with a bunch of crabs inside trying to rise up, they will pull down the ones above in order to do that. I think we (as humans) are not as different.
Nicht von dieser Welt you obviously don’t know what criticism is if I call you a nazi that’s not criticism that’s slander nothings being critiqued but you just love throwing insults around rather than having a constructive conversation so I wouldn’t expect you to understand that
Yeah but people are so ungenerous that they don’t even give that little encouragement. Because they think it is not their responsibility. Jordan is helping people and taking responsibility that takes guts.
I hate him because he doesn’t think trans people are real, he uses rhetoric like complaining about “cultural Marxism” (which is an antisemitic conspiracy theory from the Nazis that stems from “cultural Bolshevism”) and he doesn’t think men and women should work together. He doesn’t know anything about the C-16 bill and spread misinformation about it for the purposes of fearmongering about trans people, he has no idea what post-modernism is yet complains about it (which is another thing he has in common with the Nazis), and he doesn’t understand Marxism yet complains about it.
@@colestevens1375 4th copy and paste. You're nothing more then a troll account with fake misinformation wanting to tear down a humble person wanting to help others. You're more of a nazi then him.
When Jordan Peterson shows emotion, that has a profound effect on me. Why does it effect me so heavily? Because it is empathy. I've lacked receiving it my entire life and for him to show understanding hits me hard. Us men are talked down to each and every day everywhere we go. Our days are overwhelmed by loneliness as we have often have no one to relate to or to vent to; but, to hear JP say and show he cares actually holds meaning dearest to my heart. It reminds that my humanity is still present, although it lays dormant for the most part so the world cannot hurt me.
Had a normal childhood so I guess empathy was there here and there, but I can definitely sync with what you say about us men and about our humanity being buried somewhere down there.
For myself, it is because it is genuine. It is difficult to find genuine people in this modern world. Everything about him is real and genuine. When I hear him speak I do believe he is saying what he means and means what he says.
Hi I'm from nz, and thought my life was null and void, and spent majority of dispensing hurt and pain, because of what I thought society owed, I never saw men in my life cry or show emotion besides from anger, seeing this articulate , beautiful show genuine care/love, has helped me engage with my true feelings, at 40 yrs old I'm just beginning to like and accept myself, Im also accepting others as they are, and I'm able to cry,now, whether in sorrow or joy, forever grateful to JP,
So true man, he reminds us of how the world should have been. And knowing that you deserve something, validating that you're not a broken piece you're just in a broken machine, feels like getting a little piece of what's missing
When I was 12yoa my brother commited suicide, one week later my Dad also commited suicide, I found both their bodies, as you can imagine my Mum fell apart, Im 72yoa now so for 60 years, I have suffered, never completely got over the whole episode, believe me Jordan Peterson has helped me, greatly, peace and love to you all.
I wanted to reach out and touch your hand and tell you I don’t know what to say except I will be there if you need a friend to listen to you. I guess that is naive because I don’t know you nor do I know where you live nor do I know if you will even read this. But I just wanted to reach out to you as your pain must be unbearable at times. May life be gentler on you.
Ur comment struck a part of my heart I had not been in touch with for so long. I only hope you find some sort of peace and tranquility . It is not your fault you have had to suffer for so many years. I am really sorry

I just shook his hand Monday night. Was an amazing moment for me. He is absolutely amazing in person. So humble. So wonderful. He even took a picture with me. I love him more than ever.
Mark S politics cannot destroy his message. It is in us and it is strong .... because he is right and we know he is right .... because we feel it to be so. No politician can take that from me it is in my soul and the message lives on.
Misanthropic people always hate those that confront their bitterness. The modern "progressive" political ideologue is usually driven by hatred despite their claims to the contrary.
You lucky to find this good influence as a young person, it's much better to build a coherent character while you are still young. I wish you the best of what life can offer and even better I wish you to stand up to the challenge of life .
I’m 17 in Canada providing for my family in Pakistan and if it wasn’t for him I would’ve been intoxicated and half dead in the gutter in the streets of Pakistan.
Sure, I really appreciate appreciate you taking to honestly taking your time and heartfelt concern for me. Your concern alone is a gift of good for me. I now live in Canada and my family is Pakistan they say they hate me but they never reject the cheque at the end of the month. I’ll fight my way through to the better days because that’s the only thing I can do. God bless you heart, brother.
You are the salt of the earth man. Providing for a family....That's for sure something noble when compared to the entitled, rich SJW kids sitting around and crying about their rights.
I hate when my transexual friends say he’s political like that bill he opposed wasn’t about his politics it was about facts and logic being against taking away freedom of speech.
Only those who pay attention to what he talks about realize that everything--especially politics-- leads back to the fundamental potential of the human being.
@Nicht von dieser Welt probably because everything he talks about can be applied to the manner in which one thinks about politics--the same way it works in every other facet of life. Wild guess.
Hi. My name is Filip, i am 21 years old and i am from Poland. I have never pay attention for learn english - which resulted I never could speak and write. And because of that man i already started to learn my english and move on to UK to study psychology. Thank you Jordan Bernt Peterson.
Eric Sandoval he’s up and back on his feet. He was out exploring a castle yesterday followed by a steak dinner with his beautiful family. I think he’s now out of the fire.
@@nevoy7076 and you're a bot who judges people for no reason. Get a grip on life. Theres more to it than being a grammar cop. This is youtube not your English professors MLA paper 🙄
Jesus man. I can’t tell you how much Jordan Peterson changed my life. I was so close to ending it all. Until he told me to stop thinking everything is about happiness and to start being strong and look for something meaningful regardless of the pain and struggle that’s a consequence of it.
My father died when I was very young and I had an abusive uncle. I have never been in the presence of a man who actually cares. So I hid from the world and constantly blamed myself for my pain. But this man has made me see things differently. So thank God for his existence.
Ever since I started watching him around 2 years ago, I dip in and out of his videos. Once I'm in though, I can't get out for hours - and I feel much better and enlightened when I do. He's very special, and he does what he does so very well.
Kailey Marie That's what I don't understand about him. He says highly insightful things, he cries, he demonstrates himself to be a highly intelligent and thoughtful person, but then he goes and does things like suggesting women are inherently less competent than men, or that the Toronto van attack wasn't the guy's fault. I don't know what to think, because I'm appalled by the latter aspect of him, but I can't reconcile that with everything else about him that I've seen. Signed -- A "lefty" who's open to sane, reasonable and controversial discussion
@@verfuncht Perhaps you mean that they are physically less competent? Perhaps you mean that women work fewer hours than men? Perhaps you mean that they are not the same? I'm not sure what you are referring to.
I’ve admired him for years I’m an empathic spiritual counselor and I just began my bachelors in science in behavioral psychology I work in a mental health facility and I’ve always understood the why behind others actions and feelings I don’t know why I never realized that Jordan and I have the same birthday and I speak in the same manor of expression with my words and hands Because of him I got out of depression sadness and anxiety from seeing how so much of the world feels suffering ..: because I found someone who thinks of the world just as I do 🙂 thank you Jordan Peterson for showing me I’m not alone in my mindset
This guy is a real man, a figure, an emblem, a paragon. One of the greatest thinkers of our time. Long live to him. We need to protect him at all cost.
“The person that everyone can turn to for strength”. That hit hard, I used to be that person in my year, but then I started to break down, my emotions and loneliness started to get to me. Now finishing school I have seen how that negative emotion built from the people who saw me has spread through the entire school. It feels like I was the last pillar people could rely on after the lockdown had ended and I let everyone down. This has reminded me to fix myself together so I can be that pillar in college, which will almost certainly have no one from my school.
As someone who has a left-leaning view on most topics, I never understood how anyone could hate this man. He has a very pragmatic and logically view about most things .. but more than that, I always felt a great deal of empathy, passion and honesty when he speaks. He’s a very genuine man.. a very humane man.
I'm right there with you. I am a leftist bisexual woman who thinks identity politics is toxic and that men can't be women and the things being done right now are harmful AF. I am routinely told I can't be a leftist if I think that, or that I'm alt right lol. But I look like the women with blue hair the right uses on their memes about leftists lol. I have no nation, especially now that reddit has banned all female centered subs against gender ideology.
Heads up to leftists on here, we can still point out oppression without getting drawn into the 'cultural Marxist' extremists stuff, it's not an Olympics event, but, I will die on the hill over gay rights, I am genuinely worried about the backlash from all of this. I spent too long fighting for it to be put off by the culture war stuff
i don't hate Jordan Peterson but I question his influence and what he chooses not to say. He certainly gets explicitly politically and claims to champion the truth and freedom of speech but won't touch citizen surveillance v's state secrecy or the political persecution of Julian Assange. Also after famously saying (apparently) that "no Marxist dare debate him", he skipped the opportunity to debate with Marxist expert Richard Wolff. I also know he makes a massive amount of money..... I agree truth and responsibility. Yet Julian Assange is suffering psychological torture in UK's version of Guantanamo bay for exposing the truth. The US military and the "Coalition of the Willing" are yet to to take responsibility for this and the lies that were told to wage this war in Iraq and continue to be told to stay in Afghanistan. I think if Peterson is happy to discuss trump, DNC etc he could be happy to discuss these issues. I wonder if telling an Afghan orphan to just suck it up and clean their room is more important than collectively fighting the injustice?
Exactly this, I have been raised somewhat extremely left (mostly on climate) but I have two groups of friends , one more extreme leftists and one more extreme right, what came to me also after I watched mr Peterson, is that how corrupted their views are by the media, this goes for left and right, and although I have been working on having a more neutral view and two sided view of things, since about a year, mr Peterson still helped me open my eyes a lot more, as a 16 yo I find it stupid to see how many of my age category base their views on one sided social media stories, this also helped me to get to a more neutral point.
Ms Bramble I understand your frustration with his reluctance to discuss certain issues but I don’t think it’s fair to place those expectations on him. He is a psychologist by definition and he’s almost forced to discuss political topics due to the people that he interacts with or the hate he receives from certain demographics.. maybe he feels he must defend himself on those specific subjects. I don’t think he is that political in all the public speaking/seminars I have seen of his.. I believe he’s more interested in peoples’ behaviours and analysing the human psyche. I too find myself sometimes disappointed by the fact that he won’t condemn the hard right as much as he will condemn the extreme left but again, I recognise that it’s due to the fact that he’s constantly having to defend himself against ridiculous hate. To compare the route Julian Assange chose to take with Jordan’s is unfair. They do not have the same goal/purpose in society. It’s not his fault he is rich/famous, he obviously has a fan base who like what he says. You can’t expect everyone to be a spokesperson for the issues that mean a lot to you, all you can expect is for people to be decent human beings.
My sister killed herself at the age of 26 after a failed marriage. I never saw her pain I never gave her the space to talk and tell me about her problems. I was broken, i was depressed and i cried every single day for a year. There was numbness, anger, remorse and i blamed myself for so long. Thank you Dr Peterson, thank you for everything you've done for me
I hope to meet him. This dude has done a lot for me only in a matter of months… and being in a dark place in July, holy fuck, did he come at the right time! 😞🖤
any other fucking self help book would have done the same. But with less toxic subtext. Like that idiocy: "you're only allowed to criticize the world if you're perfect yourself". Do you seriously believe this? xD
I hate him because he doesn’t think trans people are real, he uses rhetoric like complaining about “cultural Marxism” (which is an antisemitic conspiracy theory from the Nazis that stems from “cultural Bolshevism”) and he doesn’t think men and women should work together. He doesn’t know anything about the C-16 bill and spread misinformation about it for the purposes of fearmongering about trans people, he has no idea what post-modernism is yet complains about it (which is another thing he has in common with the Nazis), and he doesn’t understand Marxism yet complains about it.
This man is one of the very few reasons why I haven't ended my life. I wish people were as honest and pure of heart and strong of will and character and wisdom as Jordan Peterson. He's a role model's role model.
He makes me wanna kill myself, but too be fair so does the length of my enormous nuts that I want to rest on Jordan Peterson mouth so I can hear what kermit would sound like with two fat ones in his mouth.

While many would like to know your intelligent reason for dislike of Petersons you decided to offer adolescent vulgarity. Your right of course but not convincing. Good luck cleaning up your room.
Jordan... I can't even find the words to describe how much you've helped me and how thankful I am. Your words are very powerful and hit straight to my heart. ❤️ I'm very proud of you for having the courage to get out in the world and use your knowledge to the best of your abilities. It's very inspiring what you're doing for others. I look up to you in so many ways.. and I just hope others see you the same way. Thank you Jordan 💯 ❤️
I know that Jordan will probably never find this comment. But I just want to say that he CHANGED MY LIFE. I belong to a small town in India. My life was falling apart and I was miserable. Someone recommended his videos to me and the more I watched, the more i learnt ans started taking responsibilities. I am at a much happier place and so is my family. Thankyou Jordan. Thankyou so much. I needed encouragement.
@@colestevens1375 I don't think that any of the viewpoints or things he says in his videos is transphobic but his viewpoint does resemble to what you would call conservatism in a traditional sense and so people who are already of the viewpoint that extreme conservatism and the radical right is correct might find certain parts of his videos as encouragement of that thinking and transphobia has often been part of that extreme conservatism. This is part of the problem of having very binary viewpoints which I think is promoted by social media. The social media culture is very quick to judge. The situation is like if you don't agree with a particular ideology then you have to entirely disagree with it. There's no middle ground. People don't think that they can agree with some things about a particular ideology and disagree with others. The point I am trying to make is that I don't think JP had any intentions of promoting transphobia but some of his followers might.
@@anusheelsolanki1 I agree that it is at least unclear whether he intends to promote transphobia. But firstly, he did clearly state that he does not believe trans women are women, correct? And I find it hard to believe that he didn’t know about what was actually in the C-16 bill. It is an extremely short bill, I’ve read it myself. Also, trans identity isn’t an ideology, it’s a fact of life. Trans people have always existed throughout history and across cultures, and the scientific community acknowledges the validity of trans identity across numerous scientific fields (and yes, that includes biology. Just because biologists don’t study the societal implications of gender doesn’t mean they don’t think trans people exist). And finally, I am of the opinion that you are responsible for the people who associate with you. If transphobes find Jordan Peterson’s message appealing, that is on him to do the work to show that transphobia will not be tolerated in his community. He hasn’t done that.
@@colestevens1375 I don't mean to be offensive but the thing is he actually asked the interviewer what is meant by a real woman? He further clarified that if a person does not fit into a gender category, that doesn't mean that they should be treated with disrespect. He says that trans women are not real women on the basis of a biological perspective. I do agree that trans people have existed throughout history and in almost all cultures. Regarding the C-16 bill, since I have not read the actual wording of the bill so I don't think it will be wise for me to comment on it. From what I understood JP doesn't have much of a problem with what speech is being imposed as compared to the act of compelling the usage of certain words. But then again I haven't done any research on C-16, so I cant say this with surety. ua-cam.com/video/y_xtAhGcDnE/v-deo.html This is a link to the full video you are talking about.
Gosh.. every time I watch this.. it makes me cry.. I love this man.. The other day, my husband and I had a bad fight. Old me would get depressed, say "I am so sad and down to do anything" and sleep all day and doing nothing... but after JP, I got up, despite my feelings, and started to clean my room and making my home clean. . It was amazing!!!! He made me believe that everything I do, no matter how little it seems, matters!!!! I felt so much better!! I am trying to be a good person and it matters!!!
+Fonterrorism NZ Are you the dude who looks for anyone expressing any small amount of sadness and pisses in their face because their troubles aren’t the worst in the world? Come on man... Be edgy somewhere else. There’s better places for it. This is just weak.

As a mother and grandmother, and listening to Peterson's lectures L have come torealise that a lot of us do not teach our children to cope with the stresses of life. We are to busy protecting them from the complexities instead of understanding the reasons for weird behaviour instead of finding solutions to problems. The greatest is......how to communicate and listen and that there is no shame in saying "NO" and meaning no. We are all different in the woven fabric of life and opinions matter as much being heard and accepted. All this political correctness is stifling.
@@RealziesCuts Depends on why you’re saying no. If you respectfully lay boundaries for a relationship, and someone disrespects those boundaries, the only reason to say “no respectfully” is to be able to acknowledge your moral superiority in saying it kindly instead of ripping them a new asshole immediately.
@@Qcnordique Sadly because his views don't fit the leftist narrative. Peterson does tell us a lot of cold hard truths, most people in my experience don't want to hear the truth. They want everything sugar coated and the answer they 'want' to hear.

How can we get the latest news about him? Latest means at least 1 month old or a few weeks old. I would like to know whether himself and his family doing ok or whether he is in pain. I just care for Dr. Peterson.
The last we have heard is that he almost died a couple times. But that he's been doing much better now. His daughter said that the next update would be from him directly. So we can just keep him close to heart for now
Gutsy Guts just shows you genuinely can not do good anymore without judgment, if you are not as far left as they want you to be you are a llliiiiiiissssttt of names
Oml. This has nothing to do with his politics. This is about the hreat work he does with young mena as a clynical psychologist. Ppl cortisone him on the basis of his politics.
My son has organised for me and him to see this guy in Manchester this September. We can’t wait we’re really looking forward to it. Peterson should be in charge of this entire planet.
3 months ago I was basically in The gutter. I was depressed, my relationship fell apart, I lost my job and my home. I was close to giving up! Just from watching videos of this man I now have my own home and a new job and I'm trying to fix my relationship. Thanks Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson has single handedly started a movement for change. He’s challenging the way we think, how we behave etc. He is mesmerizing to listen to, and he tells it like it is.
I sincerely believe you're right. I've spoke with random people in my life (eg. carwash) and they know of DrJP. I've always said it: "truth is inevitable" and DrJP helps people restate the good things in this world and the things worth fighting for.
Rebecca Stevens Beware idolatry. He is just a man. He has not solved his own problems. (Deuteronomy 6:4) 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one.' Jesus said: (John 14:6) 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.' No one, not even Jordan Peterson.
Because there is nothing bad anyone can say about him. But he proves what they try to believe wrong. The only way to combat that is to make up lies or change your ideas and agree with him.
@mikeallan james I have a question, not a challange. What is a great intellectial? Some one who invents something new, like a genious? Actually, this is a two part question. If someone is not a great intellect, does that make them less important, if they are effective in spreading a familiar lesson with passion? He is like a cover artist.
@mikeallan james i think people that hold your views are usually fringe dorks, that no one really likes to talk to. you have to hold on to this idea that YOU are somehow at a higher level to be able to dictate what constitutes a 'great intellectual'. I know many guys like you. They usually have psychological problems. Peterson is a very smart person, and he is quite good at doing his part at tackling the 'meaning of life' problem. Philosophy and psychology. But hey now, Mikeallan james, youtubes great smart person's critic says no. Peterson is a litmus test to those dorky annoying weirdos that hang out in the shadowy corners of incompetence.
@mikeallan james A cover artist in music is someone who takes the songs or musical ideas of others that they admire and interpret them in a way that listeners can enjoy. A new way of inperteding what is already known as "good." I belive that Peterson is that. I do not hear anything new, but I do believe that the old truth's are being narrated by him in a way that can reach people of all generations and not just young men...I am a non-young woman and get great satifaction from the ramblings of Peterson. This is not a good video of Peterson, with the crying and the music and all. It is a maniputation of him. I loathe post modern or deconstructialism and seen how it had made many art-form stagnant and meaningless. I the worlds of the great Maria Callas, when the diva was asked why she did not sing atonal music, she simply said, it is painfully, ugly and does not reach the heart. And most people, people of average or high intelligence feel the same way. They want to be enriched, entertained and even challanged, like in the works of Wagner. Difficult work but rewarding. Destroying systems that work, is not art, it is death. Peterson is very humane and full of love, not contempt.
@@mankypancakes You are welcome:) That's how I see Peterson, playing the classics, not destroying what is known to be common sense. And he is talking things further in his own way, by looking at how depression works on a chemical, situational and even nutrtional way. He is a problem solver, not a B.S artist.
@@Idk-dm9zg I was being sarcastic mate. Of course Jordan's teachings are further from encouraging "Toxic Masculinity" which by the way is a made up word by the far left. Hence the use of quotations in my original comment.

@@Idk-dm9zg No need to get into a debate mate. I wasn't trying to reel you in to one either. Look; of the two sexes, each one has its own share of douchebags. I'm not denying that. But nowadays you rarely hear about Toxic Femininity as it always gets swept under the carpet by the PC police to hide their appalling hypocrisy. Instead of calling it Toxic Behavior in general, they condescendingly blame it on men as they've never been guilty of the same. If that's not considered sexist, then I don't know what is. This also reminds me of how the left is trying to impeach Trump saying he has instigated violence and then turn a blind eye to their own instigations. The hypocrisy in that is too much to bear. ua-cam.com/video/aj1Rwlztapg/v-deo.html
@@suhpc82 It sounds like you've fallen in to the trapped mindset of us vs them. The left, the left, the left. You should really stop using this term in your thinking, as it's clouding your thoughts. sarcastically, implying that you think the general population that you would call the left, would call this Toxic masculinity. I'm what you would consider left, and in no way would I or anyone I know call this video out for pushing toxic masculinity. I'm sure you could find someone who calls anything that Jordan does as pushing toxic masculinity, and I'm sure that they would most likely would be considered left. All this would be doing is finding a fringe case with a label that fits your preconceived ideas of a leftist and using it to further solidify the biases you have. You then say it is a concept made up by the left and imply that it doesn't exist. Firstly, all concepts are made up, so I'm not sure what you are trying to get at here. Bringing up Trump is a complete non-sequitur, and really shows how much you have fallen in to the us vs them rhetoric of US political discourse. You also base your arguments on 'but what about them'. Stop watching blazeTV, Ben Shapiro, Crowder, Fox News, OAN or any of the right wing pundits and news outlets and stop thinking about things in such binary terms as left/right.
My husband took his own life, I needed to hear this.jordan Peterson is a beautiful human being. I did try everything to save him, I did exactly the predicted and blamed myself, I now know there was nothing I could have done.
*He's the essence of selflessness.* He's been dealing with withdrawl from benzos, dealt with hostility and lies before that, and being ostricized from his workplace before that. And yet all he wants is to see people be happy.
Joachim Guth sometimes the word men is used in place of men and women because humanity is collectively mankind. Women are men in the sense that they’re human.
Me too!! I read his book, then gave it to my brother, and he hasn't read it yet. Doesn't even know where he's put it. And his life is a shambles... I might have to gaffa tape him to a chair and read it to him myself...
Same here.. I have been following him since the bill c16 debacle here in Canada. I stumbled on to Jordan Peterson right at the tail spin of a life threatening addiction with heroin, His lectures and books have played a huge part in my sobriety and in February i will be 2 years sober. I could never thank him enough for the help and inspiration he has offered the world.
I love you Jordan Peterson! Imagine a world filled with leaders of a similar calibre to this amazing man! Leaders who teach (through voice and action) that truth and compassion, responsibility and accoutability, forgiveness and love are all part of the lens you look through when striving for anything. Imagine!!!
Would you really tho ? I mean seriously I don’t think you would, although I don’t doubt you enjoy this mans words. Yet I do think you value yourself more than anyone, as the majority of us do.
This man is magnificent in the most humble, beautiful way and I appreciate his raw emotion and thoughtfulness and honesty with us. He’s so damn admirable. I’m constantly astonished by him. No ego, not out for selfish power, he wants to do his part and imagine how brave!
If people hate him it's simply because they can't tolerate that he sees things differently than them. He's the most reasonable and articulate man that I've seen touch on the topics he talks about.

They hate him mostly cause of his political beliefs which is really ridiculous imagine hating somebody for his opinion on a country’s system most of his haters haven’t even watched any of his psychiatric lectures which is his primary work
@@MickayG I'm not to enthusiastic about this comment in the context of a video apparently meant to make people reconsider their negative opinion of him, it seems counterproductive.
@@mkvk74 So my personal opinion is counter productive? On the other hand, if this video would actually make people reconsider in the first place without reading my comment... they still don't get it. So... no, I don't see why my opinion would be counter productive.
Since watching his lectures: I got a first at uni after having scraped past on talent alone before. I got off porn, something I’ve been addicted to for 10 years and am now in my first relationship at the age of 23, we’ve been together a year and I love her dearly. I’m getting in with both my parents. I have a job and I’ve worked very hard at it despite avoiding working for years, too afraid to fail to get one. And I’m making music and about to train to be a life coach/therapist so I can pass on the gifts he’s given me. From the bottom of my heart I thank Peterson.
I'm 23 as well and the things you said are the thing currently doing right now. I do have a job that I really dislike but it's better than doing nothing and I also planning to finish my studies so I can get better job and hopefully a healthy and meaningful relationship with someone. It's really amazing that you want to be a therapist good job man
Jasper: That's great, but be careful: he's also full of shit. He hates postmodernism, but defines truth as relative. ('if it doesn't serve life, it's not true'). He hates victimizing, yet rose to fame by acting like a victim of Bill C-16 (while the bill never actually harmed him). He hates the violent communists, yet threatens with violence if you say something wrong. Watch out and stay critical, that's all I'm saying.
@surrealIdeal I fully agree to your note of being self-critical. Nevertheless, when juxtaposing an individual solely to ideological and conceptual terms (of humanitarian nature), you will always find one short of something. Postmodernism, truth and other concepts are abstract terms precisely because we do not know where their definitions end, let alone how they change in time and context. Thus, no individual, past or present, real or fictional, has ever been entirely consistent with a set of definitions that are applied to discussions around a member of a community or a society as a whole. Furthermore, the manner you relayed examples of Jordan's behavior is extremely reductionist. To take violence if may - initial feelings of malevolence is a natural and normal evolutionary reaction to violent behaviors in the environment (anything different in an adult is an indication to clinical pathology) yet a mature individual will regulate those emotions so they are not realized as an active intent to violence. This certainly does not mean he or she is a violent person (or that he or she cannot condemn violence) nor does exhibiting traits of violence for the objective of deterrence does one make a violent person. Furthermore, violence does not necessarily imply the physical aspect - it is common knowledge that a person of impressionable age, in distress, or great change could be impacted by flawed logic and reasoning, potentially so detrimental as to reach debilitating status (which can easily fall under the definition of psychological violence). Any responsible adult will thus act in a way as to minimize the possibility of such interactions and instead expose that individual to the situation in a regulated manner.
@@srrlIdl his stance was the introduction of compelled speech enforced by rule of law. he stated he would never comply with forced speech, no matter what it was. he wasn't claiming personal victim-hood (imo) he was saying this is a line the government should never cross in a western society.
@@zeller3228 Bill 16 wasn't introducing compelled speech. Legal experts explained this. Still Peterson used this to get famous and rise as a hero. He clearly stated he could get in trouble, he would probably get fined. He would refuse to pay, get thrown in jail and go in hungerstrike. If that isn't playing the victim card, I don't know what is.
How can one not love this man. His absolute compassion for everyone and the intensity in his feelings for people he doesn‘t even know most of the time is absolutly heartwarming.
Because he spreads a lot of info that's scientifically incorrect, refuses to discuss the ethics of his actions which which he faced the consequences for, he casually talks in fields he doesn't understand, his explanation for theism is downright pathetic, etc. Not that I hate him, but those could absolutely be enough reasins for many people.
Master Sergeant Then you and Jordan aren’t very different. You both put a lot on the line to fight for what you believe to be worth the sacrifice. Please take care :)
This man has been through hell, literally. He's definitely earned his wings. I am overjoyed that he is recovering well and has such a loving family that took care of him.
copykon Don't minimize hell. That is a place of eternal torment, which JP has not endured, and i sincerely hope that he never will. But he forces dangerous and misleading interpretations upon Holy Scripture, which he does not understand, therefore i am concerned for him. He needs more than just medical treatment and encouraging words.
I feel the same way. He’s helped me out of the nihilistic pain that I thought I was stuck with for life.I try not to get enraged when people slander him but I feel like they’re attacking a close family member. It’s so strange, I’ve never felt that way about someone I didn’t know.
Me too, I think its due to giving meaning to life by making us responsible adults. It all seems so simple until no one is telling you these simple things and then comes a long a beautiful man like Peterson to remind us of what we all know deep down we should be doing.
@mikeallan james well I don't think anyone gets upset about criticism levied his way. What upsets people is when they deliberately misrepresent the truth to smear him, there are very valid criticisms to a lot of his views, however these criticisms are overshadowed by incessant attempts to slander him as an alt right neo nazi and shit like that. Criticism is fine, slander is not
James throwing a label on someone is slander, calling him a white nationalist alt right member when he has continuously condemned the identity politics of all kinds is slander. Saying his ideas are wrong is not. And while I'm not 100% aware of all the details my interpretation of the lawsuit was not that he is "suing the university for criticizing him" but rather that he is fighting back when his job is on the line for the sole reason of him speaking his mind. Yes he speaks quite seriously about issues that could be considered trivial which is a valid criticism, but calling him alt right for this? And how is this any worse than the largely held belief that white men are oppressing and keeping down every non white Male. And so anyone in the IDW is alt right? Brett Weinstein is alt right? Joe Rogan is alt right? How is this a specification for a political affiliation when the occupants of the IDW all have incredibly varied beliefs?
mikeallan james the Intellectual Dark Web is not the literal dark web. He’s suing the university for punishing a student teacher after she played a video clip of his. This university compared him to hitler. These administrations should be held accountable for lying about him in these ways. Higher learning institutions are preaching madness. That should concern us all and I wish more academics would keep them in check. Peterson is a classical liberal not an alt right loser.
I think he knows how much he has done but he also knows that he has a very long way to go. He is and always will be an uphill battle but he is also hopeful. And so should we like you have done.
I would probably be drowned in depression if not for this man, his integrity and intelligence, the information he provides, truth he gives and his enormous empathetic heart. Jordan Peterson's lectures and his talks gave me a lot to rethink my life and start a new day. Not only I got more consistent and wiser but I hope a better person as well. Love to you all
It's sad how frequently Jordan Peterson has been unfairly demonized. As a liberal myself, many people whom I generally agree with and associate with are the ones who have such disdain for him. There's plenty I don't agree with Peterson about, but I also recognize that he's an intelligent, very well-intentioned, compassionate person, and I wish my peers also recognized that. You don't have to agree with someone on everything to have a genuine respect for them.
This right here is humanity. Man, I was borderline in tears after this video, and your comment just made me cry. I just wished more people thought like you, liberal or not.
idk if I’m crying as a result of empathizing with the genuine compassion and brilliance he’s shown in this video, or from the immense relief I feel reading comments like these that show me there are others who think this way, with how long I’ve spent feeling so misunderstood...... regardless, I am very glad to have found both
I have only now stumbled across this man and, like you, I'd call myself politically progressive. There are many small snippets of videos of him showing a wide range of opinions on UA-cam. A lot of it is like this one, genuine and rational, but even more of them show him saying abhorrent things filled with logical fallacies that are about him "destroying" people (usually "feminists"). The comments in these videos are always people cheering him on a saying terribly sexist things, so I find him confusing and don't know what to think. Somebody who's ideas encourage a community of angry, vindictive, anti-feminists seems immediately dangerous, but someone who's advice on psychology has helped improve the lives of thousands clearly has a positive impact. How do you go with rationalising these two sides of the man?
He is doing relatively well right now and is working on his new book- "Beyond Order". From what I have heard he is taking a short break from public life.
@@quidlad2050 Glad to hear he is doing well. Nobody deserves a break more than this guy - he has been an inspiration, mentor, coach, and lifesaver for countless people all over the world for many many years. Rest well Jordan (can't wait for the new book!!!).
I’m not an academic person I work in a dead end job 50 hours a week to provide for my family, Dr Peterson gives me strength and hope everyday that I will make a better life for everyone I love and I just wish he could see how much he helps me and educates me on a daily basis and I’d like to thank him
I saw Jordan Peterson in my dream and shaked his hand, thanking him. He told me he's proud of how I got myslef together. One of the most encouraging dreams I ever had.
It's blown my mind how supportive and encouraging Jordan's community is. Really touched me seeing some of the comments under this video. He has had a huge impact on my life too. I'm getting my life in order. I have decided to make animated Jordan Peterson videos. Here's my first attempt: ua-cam.com/video/O2Q28Gmiy24/v-deo.html
Great that this was recommended the day after your second post ... great videos
The mental picture one should take away is akin to an Angel, dressed in a light far brighter than the sun, arriving in someones hour of need. That should be your mental state when saving yourself, solving your problems, and helping others. Let your strength be without end.
Noble- a nice tribute.
@Minimalism Your user name is self explanatory to your underwhelming assessment of both this Elite Psychology channel and Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson stands out as an elite psychologest in no small part because of his broad spectrum comprehensive working knowledge of what a healthy individual's emotional and psychological foundations are built upon, being able to effectively communicate and motivate on an *elite* level that most everyone can relate to, of how to identify and overcome stumbling blocks within each individual to work towards becoming the best version of oneself possible. This in my opinion is maximization of the human experience, becoming all one is capable of being. The opposite of minimalism on a personal level, which to me means "be the least one can be."
He is still a pill popping crazed crybaby, and his core philosopy of individualism and suffering is poisonus to your soul. Watch this ua-cam.com/video/WXYuqrO8LLo/v-deo.html, then read this: www.amazon.com/Jordanetics-Journey-Humanitys-Greatest-Thinker-ebook/dp/B07JY9XV38.

Seeing an intelligent, resilient, man... *cry* ...dude that's some moving shit.
I agree. And looking at your pic, it's not exactly on topic but, I feel the same when I see heroes like Superman and Spider-Man be brought to tears. Not that I'm comparing him to either though. But, when you see superheroes like them feel that way, you get the sense of, "I'm not supposed to see them cry or see them sad." That just makes it even more impactful.
I think he's resilient BECAUSE he can cry.
Certainly is.
There’s a differentiation between that sort of man, and a weak man. And the latter is pitiful, if not outright disgusting
I think people who deal with suffering, on a daily basis, absorb so much of the pain they witness; of course it comes out in tears.

Don't forget that he's also a grifter who uses fake empathy to pretend he cares and draw people in. I was fooled for a long time, but he's recently shown his true colors.
You were probably butthurt when he said he hated trump
@@billybatson7852 grifter?? Fake empathy??
What are you on about?
Jordan Peterson is an extremely intelligent guy and he genuinely cares about what other people are thinking, he is more than just a psychologist, he is a living legend.
@@caspamasters That's what I believed for a long time. I listened to his words very carefully. At one point in his many interviews, he said that trans men and women were clearly going through a very rough time. But later, he attacked Elliot Page for no reason and was cruel as fuck about it. Then, he refused to apologize.
This happened just before he was launching a new channel on The Daily Wire. He knew what Twitter's policies were. He had attacked a bikini model but that didn't get him suspended. So then, just a week or so before the launch of his show, he decides to be an asshole to Page. Why? Because he was TRYING to get suspended because 1) he knew it would get him a ton of attention and 2) so he could whine like a little bitch about it on his new show.
That makes him a grifter. He is a heartless piece of shit who pretends to care for people for profit. But his actions in recent months have shown me his true colors.
For a guy who says that you should "clean your room" before going out into the world, his room is dirty as hell and full of hate. You want to follow him? That's your choice. But it's all an act. He has proven that much. Living legend? My god... I hope you wake up someday to how stupid that sounds.

Never, ever, at all costs.
@Nicht von dieser Welt He would welcome cirticism if it was valid, he doesn't need protection from that. What he needs protection from is being slandered by the media who outright lie about what he stands for and paint him as some alt-right figurehead. There have been and still are attempts to ruin his image when he's just trying to help people to fit some weird narrative that the a part of the left wants to paint him in.

Same 😥
Manoj BS no shame bro I cried watching this gotta let that out

Yeah but people are so ungenerous that they don’t even give that little encouragement. Because they think it is not their responsibility. Jordan is helping people and taking responsibility that takes guts.
Me too. No matter if I have good day or bad, I try to give someone a kind word, it takes so little
His intellect is why he is respected, his empathy is why he is loved!
I hate him because he doesn’t think trans people are real, he uses rhetoric like complaining about “cultural Marxism” (which is an antisemitic conspiracy theory from the Nazis that stems from “cultural Bolshevism”) and he doesn’t think men and women should work together. He doesn’t know anything about the C-16 bill and spread misinformation about it for the purposes of fearmongering about trans people, he has no idea what post-modernism is yet complains about it (which is another thing he has in common with the Nazis), and he doesn’t understand Marxism yet complains about it.

When Jordan Peterson shows emotion, that has a profound effect on me. Why does it effect me so heavily? Because it is empathy. I've lacked receiving it my entire life and for him to show understanding hits me hard. Us men are talked down to each and every day everywhere we go. Our days are overwhelmed by loneliness as we have often have no one to relate to or to vent to; but, to hear JP say and show he cares actually holds meaning dearest to my heart. It reminds that my humanity is still present, although it lays dormant for the most part so the world cannot hurt me.
I care mate,because of Jordan.Take care brother
Had a normal childhood so I guess empathy was there here and there, but I can definitely sync with what you say about us men and about our humanity being buried somewhere down there.
For myself, it is because it is genuine. It is difficult to find genuine people in this modern world. Everything about him is real and genuine. When I hear him speak I do believe he is saying what he means and means what he says.
Hi I'm from nz, and thought my life was null and void, and spent majority of dispensing hurt and pain, because of what I thought society owed, I never saw men in my life cry or show emotion besides from anger, seeing this articulate , beautiful show genuine care/love, has helped me engage with my true feelings, at 40 yrs old I'm just beginning to like and accept myself, Im also accepting others as they are, and I'm able to cry,now, whether in sorrow or joy, forever grateful to JP,
So true man, he reminds us of how the world should have been. And knowing that you deserve something, validating that you're not a broken piece you're just in a broken machine, feels like getting a little piece of what's missing
When I was 12yoa my brother commited suicide, one week later my Dad also commited suicide, I found both their bodies, as you can imagine my Mum fell apart, Im 72yoa now so for 60 years, I have suffered, never completely got over the whole episode, believe me Jordan Peterson has helped me, greatly, peace and love to you all.

This man changed my life. And screw with politics. His message isn't political. I'm so happy I found him when I did.
I hate when my transexual friends say he’s political like that bill he opposed wasn’t about his politics it was about facts and logic being against taking away freedom of speech.
Only those who pay attention to what he talks about realize that everything--especially politics-- leads back to the fundamental potential of the human being.
Yes! indeed even from Mars he is fantastic.
@Nicht von dieser Welt probably because everything he talks about can be applied to the manner in which one thinks about politics--the same way it works in every other facet of life. Wild guess.
@Nicht von dieser Welt ok 👍🏼

I don't know what to think, because I'm appalled by the latter aspect of him, but I can't reconcile that with everything else about him that I've seen.

Lappu1984 careful he’s a hero
@@jabalimohamed1983 His parents? I don't know if they'll be able to take care of him at this point...
“The person that everyone can turn to for strength”. That hit hard, I used to be that person in my year, but then I started to break down, my emotions and loneliness started to get to me. Now finishing school I have seen how that negative emotion built from the people who saw me has spread through the entire school. It feels like I was the last pillar people could rely on after the lockdown had ended and I let everyone down. This has reminded me to fix myself together so I can be that pillar in college, which will almost certainly have no one from my school.
As someone who has a left-leaning view on most topics, I never understood how anyone could hate this man. He has a very pragmatic and logically view about most things .. but more than that, I always felt a great deal of empathy, passion and honesty when he speaks. He’s a very genuine man.. a very humane man.
I'm right there with you. I am a leftist bisexual woman who thinks identity politics is toxic and that men can't be women and the things being done right now are harmful AF. I am routinely told I can't be a leftist if I think that, or that I'm alt right lol. But I look like the women with blue hair the right uses on their memes about leftists lol. I have no nation, especially now that reddit has banned all female centered subs against gender ideology.
Heads up to leftists on here, we can still point out oppression without getting drawn into the 'cultural Marxist' extremists stuff, it's not an Olympics event, but, I will die on the hill over gay rights, I am genuinely worried about the backlash from all of this. I spent too long fighting for it to be put off by the culture war stuff
i don't hate Jordan Peterson but I question his influence and what he chooses not to say. He certainly gets explicitly politically and claims to champion the truth and freedom of speech but won't touch citizen surveillance v's state secrecy or the political persecution of Julian Assange. Also after famously saying (apparently) that "no Marxist dare debate him", he skipped the opportunity to debate with Marxist expert Richard Wolff. I also know he makes a massive amount of money..... I agree truth and responsibility. Yet Julian Assange is suffering psychological torture in UK's version of Guantanamo bay for exposing the truth. The US military and the "Coalition of the Willing" are yet to to take responsibility for this and the lies that were told to wage this war in Iraq and continue to be told to stay in Afghanistan. I think if Peterson is happy to discuss trump, DNC etc he could be happy to discuss these issues. I wonder if telling an Afghan orphan to just suck it up and clean their room is more important than collectively fighting the injustice?
Exactly this, I have been raised somewhat extremely left (mostly on climate) but I have two groups of friends , one more extreme leftists and one more extreme right, what came to me also after I watched mr Peterson, is that how corrupted their views are by the media, this goes for left and right, and although I have been working on having a more neutral view and two sided view of things, since about a year, mr Peterson still helped me open my eyes a lot more, as a 16 yo I find it stupid to see how many of my age category base their views on one sided social media stories, this also helped me to get to a more neutral point.
Ms Bramble I understand your frustration with his reluctance to discuss certain issues but I don’t think it’s fair to place those expectations on him. He is a psychologist by definition and he’s almost forced to discuss political topics due to the people that he interacts with or the hate he receives from certain demographics.. maybe he feels he must defend himself on those specific subjects. I don’t think he is that political in all the public speaking/seminars I have seen of his.. I believe he’s more interested in peoples’ behaviours and analysing the human psyche. I too find myself sometimes disappointed by the fact that he won’t condemn the hard right as much as he will condemn the extreme left but again, I recognise that it’s due to the fact that he’s constantly having to defend himself against ridiculous hate. To compare the route Julian Assange chose to take with Jordan’s is unfair. They do not have the same goal/purpose in society. It’s not his fault he is rich/famous, he obviously has a fan base who like what he says. You can’t expect everyone to be a spokesperson for the issues that mean a lot to you, all you can expect is for people to be decent human beings.
"I'm really listening to them."

I hate him because he doesn’t think trans people are real, he uses rhetoric like complaining about “cultural Marxism” (which is an antisemitic conspiracy theory from the Nazis that stems from “cultural Bolshevism”) and he doesn’t think men and women should work together. He doesn’t know anything about the C-16 bill and spread misinformation about it for the purposes of fearmongering about trans people, he has no idea what post-modernism is yet complains about it (which is another thing he has in common with the Nazis), and he doesn’t understand Marxism yet complains about it.
This man is one of the very few reasons why I haven't ended my life. I wish people were as honest and pure of heart and strong of will and character and wisdom as Jordan Peterson. He's a role model's role model.

It's very inspiring what you're doing for others. I look up to you in so many ways.. and I just hope others see you the same way. Thank you Jordan 💯 ❤️
I know that Jordan will probably never find this comment. But I just want to say that he CHANGED MY LIFE. I belong to a small town in India. My life was falling apart and I was miserable. Someone recommended his videos to me and the more I watched, the more i learnt ans started taking responsibilities. I am at a much happier place and so is my family. Thankyou Jordan. Thankyou so much. I needed encouragement.
..And now you are a living example of that courage.. We deeply thank you..
He’s made a lot of peoples lives worse, especially trans people.
@@colestevens1375 I don't think that any of the viewpoints or things he says in his videos is transphobic but his viewpoint does resemble to what you would call conservatism in a traditional sense and so people who are already of the viewpoint that extreme conservatism and the radical right is correct might find certain parts of his videos as encouragement of that thinking and transphobia has often been part of that extreme conservatism. This is part of the problem of having very binary viewpoints which I think is promoted by social media. The social media culture is very quick to judge. The situation is like if you don't agree with a particular ideology then you have to entirely disagree with it. There's no middle ground. People don't think that they can agree with some things about a particular ideology and disagree with others.
The point I am trying to make is that I don't think JP had any intentions of promoting transphobia but some of his followers might.
@@anusheelsolanki1 I agree that it is at least unclear whether he intends to promote transphobia. But firstly, he did clearly state that he does not believe trans women are women, correct? And I find it hard to believe that he didn’t know about what was actually in the C-16 bill. It is an extremely short bill, I’ve read it myself. Also, trans identity isn’t an ideology, it’s a fact of life. Trans people have always existed throughout history and across cultures, and the scientific community acknowledges the validity of trans identity across numerous scientific fields (and yes, that includes biology. Just because biologists don’t study the societal implications of gender doesn’t mean they don’t think trans people exist). And finally, I am of the opinion that you are responsible for the people who associate with you. If transphobes find Jordan Peterson’s message appealing, that is on him to do the work to show that transphobia will not be tolerated in his community. He hasn’t done that.
@@colestevens1375 I don't mean to be offensive but the thing is he actually asked the interviewer what is meant by a real woman? He further clarified that if a person does not fit into a gender category, that doesn't mean that they should be treated with disrespect. He says that trans women are not real women on the basis of a biological perspective. I do agree that trans people have existed throughout history and in almost all cultures.
Regarding the C-16 bill, since I have not read the actual wording of the bill so I don't think it will be wise for me to comment on it. From what I understood JP doesn't have much of a problem with what speech is being imposed as compared to the act of compelling the usage of certain words. But then again I haven't done any research on C-16, so I cant say this with surety.

As a mother and grandmother, and listening to Peterson's lectures L have come torealise that a lot of us do not teach our children to cope with the stresses of life. We are to busy protecting them from the complexities instead of understanding the reasons for weird behaviour instead of finding solutions to problems. The greatest is......how to communicate and listen and that there is no shame in saying "NO" and meaning no. We are all different in the woven fabric of life and opinions matter as much being heard and accepted. All this political correctness is stifling.
It’s how you say no that matters if you can’t tell someone no respectfully then you don’t deserve to be in their life
This comment is based
@@RealziesCuts Depends on why you’re saying no. If you respectfully lay boundaries for a relationship, and someone disrespects those boundaries, the only reason to say “no respectfully” is to be able to acknowledge your moral superiority in saying it kindly instead of ripping them a new asshole immediately.

@mikeallan james I have a question, not a challange. What is a great intellectial? Some one who invents something new, like a genious? Actually, this is a two part question. If someone is not a great intellect, does that make them less important, if they are effective in spreading a familiar lesson with passion? He is like a cover artist.
@@melodybreyer2544 a "cover artist" is a great, great metaphor. Crooning the classics for sure. Thanks for that thought.
@mikeallan james i think people that hold your views are usually fringe dorks, that no one really likes to talk to. you have to hold on to this idea that YOU are somehow at a higher level to be able to dictate what constitutes a 'great intellectual'. I know many guys like you. They usually have psychological problems. Peterson is a very smart person, and he is quite good at doing his part at tackling the 'meaning of life' problem. Philosophy and psychology. But hey now, Mikeallan james, youtubes great smart person's critic says no. Peterson is a litmus test to those dorky annoying weirdos that hang out in the shadowy corners of incompetence.
@mikeallan james A cover artist in music is someone who takes the songs or musical ideas of others that they admire and interpret them in a way that listeners can enjoy. A new way of inperteding what is already known as "good." I belive that Peterson is that. I do not hear anything new, but I do believe that the old truth's are being narrated by him in a way that can reach people of all generations and not just young men...I am a non-young woman and get great satifaction from the ramblings of Peterson. This is not a good video of Peterson, with the crying and the music and all. It is a maniputation of him. I loathe post modern or deconstructialism and seen how it had made many art-form stagnant and meaningless. I the worlds of the great Maria Callas, when the diva was asked why she did not sing atonal music, she simply said, it is painfully, ugly and does not reach the heart. And most people, people of average or high intelligence feel the same way. They want to be enriched, entertained and even challanged, like in the works of Wagner. Difficult work but rewarding. Destroying systems that work, is not art, it is death. Peterson is very humane and full of love, not contempt.
@@mankypancakes You are welcome:) That's how I see Peterson, playing the classics, not destroying what is known to be common sense. And he is talking things further in his own way, by looking at how depression works on a chemical, situational and even nutrtional way. He is a problem solver, not a B.S artist.

Instead of calling it Toxic Behavior in general, they condescendingly blame it on men as they've never been guilty of the same. If that's not considered sexist, then I don't know what is.
This also reminds me of how the left is trying to impeach Trump saying he has instigated violence and then turn a blind eye to their own instigations. The hypocrisy in that is too much to bear.

Bringing up Trump is a complete non-sequitur, and really shows how much you have fallen in to the us vs them rhetoric of US political discourse.
You also base your arguments on 'but what about them'.
Stop watching blazeTV, Ben Shapiro, Crowder, Fox News, OAN or any of the right wing pundits and news outlets and stop thinking about things in such binary terms as left/right.
My husband took his own life, I needed to hear this.jordan Peterson is a beautiful human being. I did try everything to save him, I did exactly the predicted and blamed myself, I now know there was nothing I could have done.
This guy has the most positive comment section on UA-cam. I love it
Logan Hale Hey I’m here to send good vibes to counteract Scott. ⭐️
@Scott Adam Clean your room
@Scott Adam calm down. I don't understand why you're taking time out of your day to be an asshole on UA-cam.
This man is the reason I'm chasing my PsyD. He's a role model for many.
good for you Troy, good luck!
Troy Streacker - keep after it! Good for you! All the best to you, Troy. - Paige
Me too
I have an interest in that too but I am just going to read about it instead LOL
Very nice!
*He's the essence of selflessness.* He's been dealing with withdrawl from benzos, dealt with hostility and lies before that, and being ostricized from his workplace before that. And yet all he wants is to see people be happy.
He is just a Human who still retained the capacity to cry openly. you have to be so brave to cry openly.

Joachim Guth sometimes the word men is used in place of men and women because humanity is collectively mankind. Women are men in the sense that they’re human.
@@joachimguth6226 Why does someone always have to ruin a special moment with their SJW comments.
Nobody with a sensible head on their shoulders can honestly hate this man.
Unless theyre brainwashed
Even if you don't agree ideologically, he's clearly trying so hard to help people and has.
agreed completely.....he talks simple, practical, always hard truth that people NEED TO HEAR
You misspelled respect. No one with a sensible head on their shoulders can honestly respect this man.
@@hans-joachimbierwirth4727 what's not respectable about him?
He’s literally changed how I approach life - major impacts..
Me too!! I read his book, then gave it to my brother, and he hasn't read it yet. Doesn't even know where he's put it. And his life is a shambles... I might have to gaffa tape him to a chair and read it to him myself...
Philip Hudson good
Same here.. I have been following him since the bill c16 debacle here in Canada. I stumbled on to Jordan Peterson right at the tail spin of a life threatening addiction with heroin, His lectures and books have played a huge part in my sobriety and in February i will be 2 years sober.
I could never thank him enough for the help and inspiration he has offered the world.
Viracocha well done you. Very proud of you. Keep going!
@@waynew5089 Thank you, I truly appreciate the comment.
I love you Jordan Peterson! Imagine a world filled with leaders of a similar calibre to this amazing man! Leaders who teach (through voice and action) that truth and compassion, responsibility and accoutability, forgiveness and love are all part of the lens you look through when striving for anything. Imagine!!!
Saying I would take a bullet for this man is an understatement.
@HellHoundTSO, I just commented saying I would take a bullet for this man!😌 You are correct, it is an understatement.
Same.
His guidance is in getting you to "take a bullet" for yourself, your family, and your life.
Edward Hines - he wouldn’t have you take it. The point they’re making is he’s too important to lose and they’re incredibly grateful for his teachings.
Would you really tho ? I mean seriously I don’t think you would, although I don’t doubt you enjoy this mans words. Yet I do think you value yourself more than anyone, as the majority of us do.
Dr. Peterson is a gift from God
the "don't do it to yourself" kills me everytime.
Hits me right in the heart too
When he says ".... Sorry....". It just breaks me and speaks volumes.
This man is magnificent in the most humble, beautiful way and I appreciate his raw emotion and thoughtfulness and honesty with us. He’s so damn admirable. I’m constantly astonished by him. No ego, not out for selfish power, he wants to do his part and imagine how brave!
If people hate him it's simply because they can't tolerate that he sees things differently than them. He's the most reasonable and articulate man that I've seen touch on the topics he talks about.
Has Peterson ever said something smart? What was it?
@@psychcowboy1 That technology and not ideology is what got women on an equal footing with men. Next.
@@davidlee9532 No that thing was stupid and rude, I.e. that's your theory, that's a foolish theory.. Women's rights movement was effective at advancing women's rights. I asked for something intelligent. Lmk when you find it.
@@psychcowboy1 that putting forward the idea that the world is ran by an evil patriarchy, and placing evil on a group of people based on a variable such as gender or race is a reprehensible act and not the way forward.
@@spikey288 The West is an oppressive patriarchy... Jordan Peterson.
I think he is a brilliant mind misinterpreted by the hateful in this world.
Not even misinterpreted... their minds cant compute his logic and reasoning, they are so stuck in their ways and believes they're simply unable to listen... or they just lack the intelligence.
@@MickayG precisely this
They hate him mostly cause of his political beliefs which is really ridiculous imagine hating somebody for his opinion on a country’s system most of his haters haven’t even watched any of his psychiatric lectures which is his primary work
@@MickayG I'm not to enthusiastic about this comment in the context of a video apparently meant to make people reconsider their negative opinion of him, it seems counterproductive.
@@mkvk74 So my personal opinion is counter productive? On the other hand, if this video would actually make people reconsider in the first place without reading my comment... they still don't get it. So... no, I don't see why my opinion would be counter productive.
Since watching his lectures: I got a first at uni after having scraped past on talent alone before. I got off porn, something I’ve been addicted to for 10 years and am now in my first relationship at the age of 23, we’ve been together a year and I love her dearly. I’m getting in with both my parents. I have a job and I’ve worked very hard at it despite avoiding working for years, too afraid to fail to get one. And I’m making music and about to train to be a life coach/therapist so I can pass on the gifts he’s given me.
From the bottom of my heart I thank Peterson.
I'm 23 as well and the things you said are the thing currently doing right now. I do have a job that I really dislike but it's better than doing nothing and I also planning to finish my studies so I can get better job and hopefully a healthy and meaningful relationship with someone. It's really amazing that you want to be a therapist good job man
Jasper: That's great, but be careful: he's also full of shit. He hates postmodernism, but defines truth as relative. ('if it doesn't serve life, it's not true'). He hates victimizing, yet rose to fame by acting like a victim of Bill C-16 (while the bill never actually harmed him). He hates the violent communists, yet threatens with violence if you say something wrong.
Watch out and stay critical, that's all I'm saying.
@surrealIdeal I fully agree to your note of being self-critical. Nevertheless, when juxtaposing an individual solely to ideological and conceptual terms (of humanitarian nature), you will always find one short of something. Postmodernism, truth and other concepts are abstract terms precisely because we do not know where their definitions end, let alone how they change in time and context. Thus, no individual, past or present, real or fictional, has ever been entirely consistent with a set of definitions that are applied to discussions around a member of a community or a society as a whole.
Furthermore, the manner you relayed examples of Jordan's behavior is extremely reductionist. To take violence if may - initial feelings of malevolence is a natural and normal evolutionary reaction to violent behaviors in the environment (anything different in an adult is an indication to clinical pathology) yet a mature individual will regulate those emotions so they are not realized as an active intent to violence. This certainly does not mean he or she is a violent person (or that he or she cannot condemn violence) nor does exhibiting traits of violence for the objective of deterrence does one make a violent person. Furthermore, violence does not necessarily imply the physical aspect - it is common knowledge that a person of impressionable age, in distress, or great change could be impacted by flawed logic and reasoning, potentially so detrimental as to reach debilitating status (which can easily fall under the definition of psychological violence). Any responsible adult will thus act in a way as to minimize the possibility of such interactions and instead expose that individual to the situation in a regulated manner.
@@srrlIdl his stance was the introduction of compelled speech enforced by rule of law. he stated he would never comply with forced speech, no matter what it was. he wasn't claiming personal victim-hood (imo) he was saying this is a line the government should never cross in a western society.
@@zeller3228 Bill 16 wasn't introducing compelled speech. Legal experts explained this. Still Peterson used this to get famous and rise as a hero. He clearly stated he could get in trouble, he would probably get fined. He would refuse to pay, get thrown in jail and go in hungerstrike. If that isn't playing the victim card, I don't know what is.
How can one not love this man. His absolute compassion for everyone and the intensity in his feelings for people he doesn‘t even know most of the time is absolutly heartwarming.
Only the ones who don't listen...
Because most of the voices speaking against him come from the people who have decided what to believe and who therefore won't listen
Because he spreads a lot of info that's scientifically incorrect, refuses to discuss the ethics of his actions which which he faced the consequences for, he casually talks in fields he doesn't understand, his explanation for theism is downright pathetic, etc.
Not that I hate him, but those could absolutely be enough reasins for many people.
I’m a very old soldier. This made me weep.
Master Sergeant Then you and Jordan aren’t very different. You both put a lot on the line to fight for what you believe to be worth the sacrifice. Please take care :)
Me too
My fiancé left me four days ago and this made me cry so bad.
@@shanejones8598 sorry to hear that dude. I've been there. Stay strong and good luck
J.A Bless you my friend. Your a good person.
This man has been through hell, literally. He's definitely earned his wings. I am overjoyed that he is recovering well and has such a loving family that took care of him.
Not literally
JenSmoke I understand you. I hope you can live a peaceful life.
@John Peters You will man. Keep strong, draw strength from the love to your children, don't lose faith and hang in there.
copykon
Don't minimize hell. That is a place of eternal torment, which JP has not endured, and i sincerely hope that he never will. But he forces dangerous and misleading interpretations upon Holy Scripture, which he does not understand, therefore i am concerned for him. He needs more than just medical treatment and encouraging words.
He has put people through hell - don't you have empathy for the interviewers he has verbally abused?
I love JP like he was my father. He has given me more help in just one year than I thought possible. Life changing advice and guidance.
I feel the same way. He’s helped me out of the nihilistic pain that I thought I was stuck with for life.I try not to get enraged when people slander him but I feel like they’re attacking a close family member. It’s so strange, I’ve never felt that way about someone I didn’t know.
Me too, I think its due to giving meaning to life by making us responsible adults. It all seems so simple until no one is telling you these simple things and then comes a long a beautiful man like Peterson to remind us of what we all know deep down we should be doing.
@mikeallan james well I don't think anyone gets upset about criticism levied his way. What upsets people is when they deliberately misrepresent the truth to smear him, there are very valid criticisms to a lot of his views, however these criticisms are overshadowed by incessant attempts to slander him as an alt right neo nazi and shit like that. Criticism is fine, slander is not
James throwing a label on someone is slander, calling him a white nationalist alt right member when he has continuously condemned the identity politics of all kinds is slander. Saying his ideas are wrong is not. And while I'm not 100% aware of all the details my interpretation of the lawsuit was not that he is "suing the university for criticizing him" but rather that he is fighting back when his job is on the line for the sole reason of him speaking his mind. Yes he speaks quite seriously about issues that could be considered trivial which is a valid criticism, but calling him alt right for this? And how is this any worse than the largely held belief that white men are oppressing and keeping down every non white Male. And so anyone in the IDW is alt right? Brett Weinstein is alt right? Joe Rogan is alt right? How is this a specification for a political affiliation when the occupants of the IDW all have incredibly varied beliefs?
mikeallan james the Intellectual Dark Web is not the literal dark web. He’s suing the university for punishing a student teacher after she played a video clip of his. This university compared him to hitler. These administrations should be held accountable for lying about him in these ways. Higher learning institutions are preaching madness. That should concern us all and I wish more academics would keep them in check. Peterson is a classical liberal not an alt right loser.
The world is a cruel place, but living in a time where there are people like jordan peterson makes me feel like theres hope.
I dont think Dr. Peterson will ever fully understand his impact on people. Myself specifically. He has changed my life!
XxBo3eeDxX mate what’s the point
@@harrycross4311 he thought he was being funny, I think , or exactly what Jordan said about people not liking to hear other people doing good
I think he knows how much he has done but he also knows that he has a very long way to go. He is and always will be an uphill battle but he is also hopeful. And so should we like you have done.
Mine too.
Fuck me too
I think he understands, and that's why he's brought to tears sometimes.
This man is saving the world.

I would probably be drowned in depression if not for this man, his integrity and intelligence, the information he provides, truth he gives and his enormous empathetic heart.

He saved me my life
am a young black african and this guy is one of my source of guidance
It's sad how frequently Jordan Peterson has been unfairly demonized. As a liberal myself, many people whom I generally agree with and associate with are the ones who have such disdain for him. There's plenty I don't agree with Peterson about, but I also recognize that he's an intelligent, very well-intentioned, compassionate person, and I wish my peers also recognized that. You don't have to agree with someone on everything to have a genuine respect for them.
This right here is humanity. Man, I was borderline in tears after this video, and your comment just made me cry. I just wished more people thought like you, liberal or not.
Extremely well said. If more people adopted your line of thinking, the world would be a much better place.
Well said,I don't agree 100% with the man, but I respect his logic and compassion.
idk if I’m crying as a result of empathizing with the genuine compassion and brilliance he’s shown in this video, or from the immense relief I feel reading comments like these that show me there are others who think this way, with how long I’ve spent feeling so misunderstood...... regardless, I am very glad to have found both
I have only now stumbled across this man and, like you, I'd call myself politically progressive. There are many small snippets of videos of him showing a wide range of opinions on UA-cam. A lot of it is like this one, genuine and rational, but even more of them show him saying abhorrent things filled with logical fallacies that are about him "destroying" people (usually "feminists"). The comments in these videos are always people cheering him on a saying terribly sexist things, so I find him confusing and don't know what to think. Somebody who's ideas encourage a community of angry, vindictive, anti-feminists seems immediately dangerous, but someone who's advice on psychology has helped improve the lives of thousands clearly has a positive impact. How do you go with rationalising these two sides of the man?
Pls get better and recover fully, Mr Peterson.
What's wrong with him?
He is doing relatively well right now and is working on his new book- "Beyond Order". From what I have heard he is taking a short break from public life.
@@quidlad2050 Glad to hear he is doing well. Nobody deserves a break more than this guy - he has been an inspiration, mentor, coach, and lifesaver for countless people all over the world for many many years. Rest well Jordan (can't wait for the new book!!!).
yeah this man is needed
Finally an update with him in person on his daughter's UA-cam channel
I just feel like everytime I hear Jordan speak I need to indulge every second like it’s priceless. Life is so fragile. His wisdom is so humbling
I’m not an academic person I work in a dead end job 50 hours a week to provide for my family, Dr Peterson gives me strength and hope everyday that I will make a better life for everyone I love and I just wish he could see how much he helps me and educates me on a daily basis and I’d like to thank him
Very nice! You are doing great!
Well done, Mr. Appleby. Your family is blessed.
People like you are the unsung heroes. You're doing such a great thing 💪💪
Work additional 5hrs a week on your skills, within 2 years u won't have dead end job. I know it is difficult
He is One of The most IMPORTANT Human of our Time.
Anyone hate this guy,
Has no hope.
AGREED
I'll be praying for the haters!
Oh shut up.
I saw Jordan Peterson in my dream and shaked his hand, thanking him. He told me he's proud of how I got myslef together. One of the most encouraging dreams I ever had.
Great 👌👍
I have had fantasies like this too. This guy is my spiritual father.
who or what is Myslef?
(j/k, great dream of course)
Oh my heart! This is beautiful.
Watch his video about his dream about warriors and Jesus and what he says those dreams mean
The empathy Jordan Peterson has is so mind blowing and tangible that one can almost cut it with a knife. God bless him and his family.
