I've literally traveled around the world a few times now... been to dozens of countries. With every new place I see, I love America all the more because of it.
Only reason I see why US is best country is that it provides the best opportunity to earn money. But once you're rich, I'd go some place like Ukraine. Because if youre rich in US, in Ukraine you will be filthy rich and basically a king and you can travel to a million countries, but you will most likely always love the one you spent more time in. Some people get used to their home, and in order to get used to another home, they need to spend a good amount of time. Even if many countries were better than US, you cant really expect to love them more than your homeland after just a few days Essentially your phrase can be translated to " I've had sex with 200 women.... Every time I have sex with a woman, I love my wife even more all because of it"
Maybe I need to stop overvaluing the opportunity cost and start trying out big projects in life. Being safe from failure is the biggest danger after all.
In case you are wondering, the “Future Authoring” program that Dr. Peterson mentions near the end of this video is available here: bit.ly/SelfAuthoring It's part of his online service “Self Authoring” that helps you to analyze your past, to get your present life in order and to identify a more rewarding path for your future. It’s not free, but it has been proven to work in studies performed with university students. Jordan Peterson Fan Channel is an official affiliate of the program, so if you follow the link above through, you will not only support Jordan Peterson and his endeavors but also this channel in a small way - and most importantly yourself. Thank you.
Green Doggie the standard or today lmao. Although if your disciplined enough you can keep both and still do so leasurily as long as you get your shit done
good sacrifices can be getting a cheaper apartment to save more money, cooking home more, walking to the grocery store instead of driving, not over eating, etc
Visiden Did you miss the bit about Abraham at the begining? The dungeon, the cave, the dragon as it were, are all not at home but in the wilderness, the unknown, off the map, in uncharted or potentially dangerous territory. Thsr being said I think their title holds up. . .
yeah but where do they learn that behavior from ? Not from thin air. We need to STOP playing the blame game and elevate each other. So much negative talk but not enough effort to actually help the kids. Just that last statement alone is a huge part of the problem.
Great Video I think, although I don't agree 100% with Peterson. First thing, I think he underplays the control you have over your own mind. IMO you can make yourself interested in something, at least for me that it's possible. Or maybe I'm just naturally interested in everything, I don't know. Second, I don't agree with his arguement, that my interests, my feelings, are beyond me and thus compelled by a omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent entity. I don't believe these things to be the making of a supernatural entity outside of me, but rather a result of a feedback cycle which evolved over millions of years. I don't think humans have anything that makes us special than other forms of live, other than maybe our complexity. I don't believe that there is a soul or a ethereal essence guiding our actions or influencing them in some other way, but rather that every effect preceived now, be it the action of someone or their interests or feeling, is the result of countless inputs, past events, genetic predispositions and such. I think, that since the quantum layer of reality is mostly probablistic, but those probabilities eventually converge in the macro layer und thus become deterministic, that the whole macro universe is deterministic in the end and we just lack the ability to comprehend the complexity. What seems for others to be the evidence of some greater force I just think is merely a mechanism which is too complex for us to grasp. It was the same in the past everytime.
Sorry to bring this back two years later but I wanted to comment on your second part. I don't believe in god or what other version people like to call it, and I've never seen much value in religion and the things it's brought with it, even when I was in a religion. However - and this isn't my point, I'll get to it in a moment - in general I've noticed that even if something doesn't hold any value whatsoever for me, it still can in ways initially imperceptible to me. Sometimes it just takes someone else's explanation, or maybe it influences them into creating something I enjoy, etc. In watching a lot of these videos from Jordan Peterson I've come to realize that a lot of these stories he talks about all have some kind attempt to explain how to handle the mind, and it's caught me off-guard rather often how many of the things I've come to realize in my own life were reflected easily and accurately by Jordan Peterson's lectures, themselves informed by stories like these. I've spent a lot of time recently seeing and going over his explanations of the story of Kain and Able, how it reflects in the world today, and I'm stunned by how accurately it represents the resentment and envy I've felt and witnessed. When I look at them now, these stories look like someone - or maybe a lot of someones - trying to understand the world with nothing to go off of save for their own mind and experiences. When they say it's god doing something, or when Peterson says you can call it whatever you want, I think that's the underlying part of your brain common with all of humanity; Now I tend to liken it to the source code we all run on. It's the behaviors you see repeated across multiple people, the same situations people get themselves into, the way the different generations behave toward each other over and over, it's all the same despite the different people, places, times, experiences, all of it. It's not a god manipulating people, but it's something out of our reach that dictates us regardless. We're not completely in control of ourselves, and if we were no one would ever have trouble getting into special forces, or really in doing anything they set their mind on; we'd all be exceedingly dangerous and perfectly driven people. In that context, the stories in religion then are very insightful. It's telling you what people hundreds of years ago figured out worked, but you have to peel off the religious tendrils stuck to it, replace the rusted, aged words, and pick through it's carcass for the meaning it's trying to show, something I'm wholly incapable of.
The Bible is the truth. So I love how he clings more and more to the Bible and hopefully he eventually follows Christ and realizes that Christ is salvation. God bless
From my understanding he believes that the morality we know today is passed through culture. When he’s been asked specifically whether he believes in Christianity he kind of dodges the question in a way by saying he doesn’t believe in the Bible literally but is adamant about the importance of the stories in it. I think that he associates the totalitarian nature of the USSR to the rise in atheism/nihilism so he is kind of forced into a corner in a metaphorical sense. It’s my interpretation that he is agnostic but supports the foundation of religion based upon the merit of some of the archetypal knowledge it passes down and because he understands human nature rather well. As a clinical psychologist he is hesitant to remove religious dogma because it brings a sense of order to the world, even if it isn’t well founded or logical. This is just my interpretation, hope that this helps.
How about some humility on your part? Maybe you are not capable of penetrating the ideas he puts forward which means you have a lot of work to do and that would be exactly the unknown he is refering to:P

Dirt farmer / levon helm is a good song.
I'm stuck in the Darkest Dungeon.
nicholas damn it you beat me to it
You are not alone! The most important how to get out with lettibg God help you.
How about now?
When you’re in the dark turn to the light ❤️ God bless you
1 John 1:5
REMIND YOURSELF THAT OVERCOFIDENCE IS A SLOW AND INSIDIOUS KILLER
Me watching the thumbnail.
*So now JBP is my ancestor and narrador of Darkest Dungeon*
*Singular Strike*
Sacrifice wouldn't necessarily mean to kill. Could also be to sacrifice bad habits for good; this for that. See figured it before the end 👌
Breaking the TV or video game can be the modern version of sacrafice.
Green Doggie the standard or today lmao. Although if your disciplined enough you can keep both and still do so leasurily as long as you get your shit done
Try telling that to Abraham before he killed the animals.
good sacrifices can be getting a cheaper apartment to save more money, cooking home more, walking to the grocery store instead of driving, not over eating, etc
The idea of a "rational" sacrifice
🔥 finally!!!
Interesting thumbnail as "the unknown" the pointing man in the picture ventured into turned out to be the Darkest Dungeon.
Visiden Did you miss the bit about Abraham at the begining? The dungeon, the cave, the dragon as it were, are all not at home but in the wilderness, the unknown, off the map, in uncharted or potentially dangerous territory. Thsr being said I think their title holds up. . .
The problem of the modern age is Nihilism/Atheism leave nothing to sacrifice for, and therefore, nothing to live for.
First view. I feel special. Great video Dr. Pederson.
loki8284 Thank Psyche Matters, they watched the full talk and snipped out the gems for those of us unable to watch the full lectures.
Oh, I think us buckos can't thank Dr. Peterson enough! Still, I'm glad many people also like these clips. So thank you, too. :)
#VideosThatMatter
I feel this. Praise jesus.
Jesus wasn't born at time of Abraham.
Before Abraham...I am!

As a young immigrant I can say the country is doomed. The kids are so spoiled and privileged yet lazy and ungrateful.
Im a kid and i totally agree with you
yeah but where do they learn that behavior from ? Not from thin air. We need to STOP playing the blame game and elevate each other. So much negative talk but not enough effort to actually help the kids. Just that last statement alone is a huge part of the problem.
Doomed ? Really ? You aren’t God to decide

Sometimes peterson makes it seem like he believes in evolution and we're homosapiens, and other times he seems religious. I don't get it

@@SolidPain6624 the Bible is true to u, everyone has a different belief that they're certain it's true
it doesn't have to be neither of them, there's a balance between things
Is he an Atheists?
Wonder why he likes to quote the bible.
uwais qarani i don’t think he’s an atheist. He explained it in a video it was really hard for me understand his explanation.
Jonathan Calderon But he's not christian isn't he?
uwais qarani I think he’s catholic he said something about he believes in the logos it was really interesting you should check it out
