The fact these videos and those like it aren't getting any more views/likes than they are..... well, its the simplest evidence I can think of proving where we are as a people (and in many more ways than I care to get into at the moment because I have somewhere to be)! Seriously though, if you aren't; interested enough, have enough comprehension skills to follow along, believe them BOTH wrong, aren't the least bit edified afterwards...... well, I guess I did have time to go into A BIT of the ways it proves (embarrassingly) how far we've fallen as a people! Everyone these days seems to like being about "self"..... I just wish if that MUST continue, it also included an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and especially a desire for *THE TRUTH* ! Anyway, I really must go..... God Bless you Jordan and Douglas as well as your families!
I enjoy your podcast as a historian and would suggest the similarities between the cultural revolution in China and the current cancel culture of the west.
I would be forced to write an essay to attempt to clearly lay out why I am grateful to you for your podcast Jordan. It is largely because there is an infinite of areas of which I am ignorant and your podcast helps to improve my education in some of those areas. I would like to point to an individual I believe could maybe offer some insight to some of the issues you are wrapping your head around in this podcast, and that would be the economist Thomas Sowell. He has written several books of some of these very topics.
The two most complete cultural commentators on the planet having a chat? What better way to unwind. Maybe James Lindsay will join them later and I'll take tomorrow off to watch on repeat and overdose on good red wine. Enjoy mate.
Douglas Murray is one of today’s leading Anglo-Saxon intellectuals. Murray has a terrific mind, and I look forward to reading his book. Thank You, Dr. Peterson!
I totally agree, I'm a kiwi who lives in Australia and Douglas Murray is literally a breath of fresh air. I am a huge fan of JP but to hear these two great men in discussion is a work of true art

Douglas Murray is a brilliant and brave man. This attack on Western European culture needs to end before everyone is consumed by the flames of nihilism.
@@sammybolton2591 I'll tell you the solution (at least for Europe): stop mass immigration, more incentives for families to encourage pregnancies and stop the agenda that is pushing demoralization on white people.
@@sammybolton2591 Did you listen to the entire podcast? Murray explicitly says cultivating 'gratitude' for what Western civilization has given the world is an antidote for the underlying resentment that has fueled this modern trend to reduce Western tradition exclusively to its worst failings and most egregious acts; no culture throughout human history has escaped such failings. Both Murray and Peterson agree it's a very high bar for people to reach, however, because as humans we are loathe to hold ourselves responsible for our choice to feel resentment. And as Murray says, resentment is a very strong emotion. It's a difficult concept to grapple with, just as practicing forgiveness is.

As a British Indian man, I try to call out this injustice where ever I see it. My heart bleeds for my white brothers and sisters. Just know some of us stand in solidarity with you. Humanity must stand as one!
What injustice? Do you really think that those who you call your “white brothers and sisters” in Britain regard you with such affection? As a child, in Britain, I saw disturbing scenes of Indian women being spat on by groups of my white school peers, on my journeys home from school. Things have moved on a bit since then, but Kinship? You may dream of and long for it, but I think you are just useful. Now, grown up, I see that some of you make trouble for Black people in the workplace.
Pick your side. You can not be both BRITISH and INDIAN man. You either one or NONE ! Please stop those CURRY restauriants ...they reek havoc, suffocating
As a Ugandan living in Germany, I approve of the entire gratitude section. DM literally took the words out of my mouth 🙏🏿 I once said the exact same thing in a podcast 1 year ago but less eloquently. It feels good to know that we share the same thought despite me lacking the eloquence to put those thoughts out so beautifully 😘 it’s been worth it sitting in the entire Saturday. If in a few years I’m still here and my child messes around with that patriarchy nonsense I’m taking him/her back to Uganda ASAP, thanks for that tip too 🤣🤣🤣
Next years will be unsafe in the world. Conservative totalitarian movements will return and will be no safe for non-white people in Europe. I recommend you to return to Uganda ASAP. Regards
As long as you are clear , to the point and from the heart, don't worry about sounding eloquent. I'm sure you are very eloquent in your first language. You speak English very well
when the masses have ideas and thoughts in their mind but lack the eloquence to speak them well, we tend to find our champion in speech and thats how these public speakers and famous commentators are born like DM and JPeterson. If only we all could speak so well and articulate our thoughts in the heat of debate. But its cool to have these speakers for us, even if we dont necessarily agree on every single opinion of their's JPeterson Douglas M and T Sowell are quite good
You gentleman give a young man with no future such as myself a tiny ray of hope in this dark, scary time. Thank you for talking about the things that nobody else seems to be talking about. Thank you for speaking the truth, and asking the questions everyone else is too afraid to ask.
As a (relatively) young woman, I also struggle with how bleak things seem. But we can’t give up. The most revolutionary act is to proclaim loudly what is happening. Keep speaking the truth. That’s all we can do when we feel powerless.
A lot of people are concerned and are talking about these issues, but we certainly need more sensible people to talk about them. Thing is Peterson is articulate and informed so he can my a proposition and defend it, and that's not easy. My aim as a young man is to become more adept at communication. Remember that clip about the purpose of college is to learn how to communicate and think.
I have learned so much from Jordan Peterson and his talks, I can't believe how asleep I have been for 55 years, thank you for the history and all your work. I am learning things I have never been taught in all my life.
Sometimes a history lesson is from your own family and their life stories. I hate that history repeats itself. I do agree with you - I too have learned so much from podcasts
Ya love to see it. I found JBP and shared his work with my parents. They love him as well now. It's like you can look back on the past with eagle eyes after learning little lessons from him and you think, how did I not see that coming?!
I'm glad that Jordan and Douglas brought up the matter of heroes in the past times. They are the two heroes in our time, something we need very much today. Thank you, gentlemen!
We, Great Britain have a thousand years of history I said to my university lecturer when discussing the EU, he replied - What is history. My heart dropped. I walked away remembering my Grandfather who died in agony from mustard gas and went blind for this country his country. I am way past politeness. Thank you for speaking of your dear friend Roger Scruton. I listen to him and learn so much. I’m grateful for those who gave so much for those who were alive at the time and those yet to be born. Me, my father and millions of us.
@ C S Good God! A university professor escapes relevant comment with pedantics. "Oh professor please explain why a definition of history with a cut-off point in the past, will be helpful in the search for knowledge."

As an immigrant in America, I have to say that Douglas’ analysis is spot on. People like me come here because the West is awesome and gives the highest equality of opportunity to diverse groups. It used to be puzzling to me why so many born and brought up here don’t see it, but then fish don’t necessarily realize they’re in water…it’s all they know
There is a lot good about the western tradition. The Enlightenment values, for examples. A focus on materialism, scientific progress. However, it is not just extremists on the left who are threatening this. It's people from the right. Most people on the left do not actually reject western enlightenment values. We've been defending it for decades against theocratic religious rightwingers and authoritarian groups. I don't like the Post-Modern left either.
I have to politely disagree with you, the problem is world over but deeply seeded in the western world through mass indoctrination and brainwashing. They want us to believe that we are free meanwhile we ravage the world to what ends? And have an elite group of tramps in control at the top who set the rules for the masses which most blindly follow, and these fuckers run pedophile rings based in London and party whilst they had us believe that we had to be in lock downs for everyones safety.. Missing out on sacred funerals, childbirth, weddings all sorts of crucial and fundamental events human beings are here to participate in as the celebration of life. Yes other world countries are corrupt too but when you look back at history it stems from the roman empire and then the western take over of many other countries... Where Britain for example raided and pillaged other countries resources and stole their ancient artifacts to stick in their museums and parade themselves as high and mightier than others. It's all a lie but not a lot of people have the stomach to see it for what it is. I'm from Ireland my country was impacted by it the ancient celtic culture, but when I attended college in the UK I realised that the British people aren't even educated on what their history is God help them all they think they have taught the rest of the world and helped them out of some kind of depravity. But in reality they decimated cultures and caused genocides knowingly.
Fish cannot be taught, human beings can, problem arises when they are are either willfully blind to reality or deliberately malevolent (as Jordan has said in multiple ways). The west is struggling with a burgeoning issue of immigration from countries that do not have what we have, yet people born here still want to burn it to the ground in favor of ...what exactly? If even 10% of the "woke "snowflakes went and spent 6 months living in some of these horrifically poverty and disease stricken areas, living just as the locals do 100%, having to walk miles and miles for water filled with parasites and bacteria, trying to grow crops in dead drought ridden soil, being hungry for days on end etc etc - if they managed to survive this ordeal (and some won't), I think they would come back to the west and start shouting at all their woke snowflake friends to STFU - just STFU, you have NO CLUE how FUCKING EASY YOUR LIVES ARE, how blessed you are to live in western society with it's good healthcare and wall to wall clean water and wifi, you must be OUT OF YOUR MINDS TO WANT TO BURN IT DOWN, literally INSANE to want to destroy what's been built here - because even with the blood of colonialism and slavery on it's hands it's STILL a lot fucking better than the alternative. If you hate western society that much, go live where I've just been, and I'll bet both my balls in less than 3 months you'll be BEGGING to come back. If I was a billionaire, that's how I would fix this crisis - give all woke people a free plane ticket to one of these places, with a promise £100,000 if they last 6 months - I'd bet most will either die or forfeit the money to come back early. But they'll never understand, because they don't WANT TO. (but ironically they still complain about "no wifi signal, whaaa"). Honestly, if this gets much worse, humanity would deserve an apocalypse, NEED IT, to wipe it all away and start again.
you can't understand what hard life means if you're a spoiled, cuddled brat... There's no light without darkness and all that :(. My idea is: take all the green haired wokies with their pronouns and ship them to a 3rd world country for a week. Guaranteed they won't make a single noise ever again when they get back :)))
I no longer feel alone in this. I honestly thought I was the only one thinking this way. I felt guilty and ashamed for thinking this way. But my human side , my logical thinking kept questioning me. Seems that Douglass explained my questions and my understanding of this subject. Thank you.
You are far from alone. Douglas is correct. It is not acceptable for anyone to tear down our culture and leave us with nothing, any more than it would be acceptable to do that to an African culture, an Asian culture. Etc. we have a right to take that personally, and to object to it
As an immigrant, you are not alone. Western traditions and costumes must be defended at all cost, also, because of immigrants who seek refuge in this culture. We should talk more about INTEGRATION to western culture and our new home than diversity. 1:28:23
You’ve been gaslighted sir, like the rest of us, by education, media, government and corporations all working in lockstep to propagandize and stifle all dissent. It’s much worse than most people can imagine.
I’m not sure how old you are but I grew up in the 90’s and this conditioning was definitely there then. It’s been festering for decades and white people know all too well well what they can say and not say. The same goes for what you think and people. You’re expected to be a punching bag both literally and figuratively as a way of balancing out the sins of the past. It’s disgusting!

Thes two gentlemen are national treasures to the USA and GB! I adore Douglas Murray! I cannot wait to listen to the wisdom. The sanity in an inverted and twisted world we are currently living in! Thank God for JP!
In a long line of important and interesting podcasts from Jordan Peterson, this one ranks up there as one of the the most important to listen to. Absolutely brilliant.
I am grateful that I was not sooo deeply rooted in resentment that I was unwilling to listen to Jordan and understand my own role in my suffering. I am a much happier person having come to terms with that and aiming myself in the direction of truth and love. Thank you to both of you for your work, and especially Jordan for vocalizing what I needed to hear that I could not vocalize myself.
You are so right, I share the same experience. I’m so glad I was aware enough about holding onto resentment and causing my own suffering. We are our own worst enemy at times! Take care!
Yes, Jordan says things in a vary articulate way . Great gift. His discussion o suffering I could feel, and was so helpful. Someone else knows...Good guests too. Just a decent forum of podcasts. Enriching.
go ahead waste your money on this foo s book. these two mother faking clowns should address the enslavement and exploitment torture of the most innocent creatures on the planet-animals. murray is a modern day slave master. blacks were not only enslaved-they were raped tortured , children molested and raped , experimented on etc etc.... majority of whites still hate blacks just for being black-i live in canada-i know this for a fact. i cant listen to these two racist any more. talkin shit bout blacks selling blacks.
"If you won't respect my ancestors, my culture, and my history - then why should I respect yours?!" Indeed, every single Canadian of European heritage needs to hear and understand these words. I will no longer accept this disrespect coming from anyone. If I lose a few "friends" or family members - then so be it!
@@stephaniezank7717 hi, Stephanie, Murray was talking about his (literal, British) ancestors/culture/history - specifically Rex Whistler, a man who died on D-Day fighting for principles that are worthy of right praise .. instead, Whistler was derided a racist based on the past sins of ancestors not his actions. Objectively, you, me, and 99% of rational folk wouldn’t find the actions of Nazis respectable .. so, we should be able to agree the west’s ancestors and cultures *on the right side of history* can be deemed respectable (I hope) /Ted
@@stephaniezank7717 Yes. 1/2 of my ancestors were Jews from Germany, all murdered in the Holocaust . Because Nazis were murderous morons, should I follow their example or use them as a model? I think not.
I followed along, listened hard, understood most words, and can officially say we're incredibly fortunate to have the such smart people, good people like Jordan and Douglas, and we get to listen to them, only in exchange for time. Deal!
I loved this so much I watched it twice!! I am currently studying in my sociology class and of all the constructs to discuss, race is again the most prevalent berating the white person. I am a white female and when you spoke about haveing to be "polite and courteous" it was as if you were reading my mind. It irritates me that I have to keep defending myself when I have done no wrong and wish to do no wrong to ANYONE. Thank you both so much for sharing your wisdom. My hope is that somehow society as a whole will learn to understand each other as unique individuals and focus on the things that really matter. But how can we do this? I am so buying this book. Many blessings to you both.
The fact that out of all the JP interviews I’ve seen, this one has Jordan commentating the least…? I dunno, it tells me that what Douglas is saying realllly deserves the stage. That he knows exactly what he’s talking about and how to say it thoroughly and effectively… thank you for the work you both do! I’m definitely gunna purchase this book. We need to arm ourselves with the truth!
Please interview Thomas Sowell …..he’s in his 90s now and needs more recognition for his work in tackling these types of issues yet he probably won’t be around for too much longer , he’s getting up there now
A vital and astonishing conversation. I feel grateful beyond words to both gentlemen for sharing their deep learning and wisdom with us, and for helping us to think about these profoundly important issues.
It's good to see that by researching his new book, Murray has broadened his perspective on slavery. In past interviews re BLM, the 2020 riots, etc. he has seemed to allude to slavery as being a particularly American issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sadly, it has been a worldwide phenomenon for thousands of year. As Thomas Sowell points out, there were more Europeans enslaved by the Barbary Pirates than the total number of African slaves in America. Indeed, it is the west, and particularly the UK and the USA, which has done more to end worldwide slavery than any other culture.
Yes, the majority of those espousing this ideology are committing the anachronism fallacy. The arrogance is outstanding. Essentially standing on the shoulders of your ancestors, as if you were any better. Slavery was legal throughout the world. It’s part of our history as a specie. Digging up graves won’t do anything. Rather foolish that people don’t see it.
This is of course followed by the classic bad faith response of "By pointing out European suffering you are minimizing the suffering of BIPOC's and other minorities.". They understand that victim narratives are extremely powerful and will never allow other groups to diminish their current monopoly on them. People need to understand it is about power, not empathy.
I've followed Douglas Murray for a couple of years now, he has such clear understanding of the complete mess we are in and has the courage to speak out, I believe our country could be rebuilt in terms of pride and hard work, if a man like this were our Prime Minister. Imagine, Douglas Murray, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom! I can hear the applause now, its' deafening.......that's my dream..
@@Ralph_Baric_PhD_C2019 He's a deep thinker who values books; probably too much for the modern era, but time will tell who is right in that decision. He only really appears in public when it's time to push the next book, but it's always on-point.
@@suttonadmiral891 From your statement it is plain that you either got nothing from listening to the discussion, or, more likely, listened to little or none of it.
I make no apology for the following commentary - this is epic! Deep thinking, referenced in facts, engaging , great questions by Jordan ( who often times is fielding questions ) ... Douglas Murray is clear, succinct, straight forward .... this is a most refreshing exchange.
Enjoyed the lecture between you and Jordan Peterson. The description of the program says it was a year ago. Douglas, you nailed the tumultuous times we are living today - quite prophetically. Have not read “The War on the West”but will now. Thank you for the profoundly important dialogue between the two of you.
Well said. Although I would credit our Western Culture to Christianity. Actually, now that I think about it, I would credit it to the Biblical God. Israel is also very productive.
@@analysisonlight605 Nope, christianity prohibited humanity from development. Only Renaissance who came back to Roman and Greek culture and started church reformation enabled progress. Christianity is tremendous black hole.
as a non western native, i always found it funny, how so many leftists hate on white ppl and complain about their culture being bad or evil or oppressive... by voicing these opinions thru devices largely made or created or invented by white ppl, sitting in their first world country standards and home with countless laws and items and infrastructure largely made possible from white ppl. we should make game show where they live in a studio with only non white made or invented ideas and objects and see how they enjoy their lives then. or just send them to saudi or kenya and see how their activism goes lol. they complain about the very ppl that allows them the right to complain in the first place
This conversation kept me riveted the whole time. Speaking of "gratitude", I feel incredibly greatful for both of these smart, good, articulate, honest and courageous men.
What a treat to have two geniuses have an intellectually unfettered discussion on issues of the utmost importance for humanity with such courtesy towards each other. Thank you, Gentlemen. ❣️
Brilliant conversation. Two minds in symphony on a quest for what is right and good. It almost brings me to tears of joy that there are individuals leading the way and fighting a good fight to keep us on a noble path. Keep on keeping on
I think the reasons Mr. Murray or Dr. Peterson are so popular is they can articulate things that many people see but can't describe. They also do it with a dry wit and brilliant vocabulary!
Amazing to have free access to this production line of incredible conversations. Thank you Dr Peterson, for your expertly conducted interviews and the continuous and nourishing supply of brain food!
Listening to these two GIANTS on the 'reading' of our cloudy and chilling days is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. They make the contrary narrative looks poor, fragile, naked.

This is the first time hearing Douglas Murray and boy oh boy is he impressive. I actually will be recommending this video to some of my friends. We need a lot more of this reality to be exposed to shut down the insanity and stupidity that makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Anti Racist Theory is being practiced in hospitals already. It must be halted. Elizabeth Warren has proposed a bill twice now to put anti racism into healthcare. UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Astounding. My heart hurts for our youth being subjected to all of this. School Boards have been infiltrated...thankful so many parents are fighting back. There is an awful evil trying to takeover US. Praying it's diverted. 🙏✌
He is definitely a brilliant man but he has the typical white British slave master attitude towards the world.His fact are feeble and why is he so worry about a group of people who was being oppressed has manage to educate themselves and is striving for uplifting their self and is not accepting the old slave mentality?? What he seems to want is for the world to continue honoring their white masters rules and should not try to free themselves from their clutches.Great discussions.
Thank you Mr. Peterson and Mr. Murray for sharing your time! The "insanity" that is attacking everything that I think decent is and has been too much. Thank you for all you do!
“Gratitude is a form of courage” - That is such a profound concept. It reminds me of the old Smiths lyrics: “It’s so easy to hate, it’s so easy to laugh. It takes strength to be gentle and kind”
I found this conversation to be one of the most fascinating conversations I have heard in a while. The University that I attend in South Africa (Stellenbosch University) has a psychology course, which I take, that has the exact claims made in this video. The curriculum seems to be attached to the past injustices of our country (apartheid), and sort of uses it as a smokescreen to attach these anti-western views to it. The Marxist and Liberal views they use make it seem like the answer to all our problems when here in SA the problems lie way beyond that. For instance. there is an article that we have to read called "Challenging the Hegemony of Eurocentric Psychology" by ANTHONY VERNON NAIDOO which we needed to read and write academic essays based off of it. I am shocked at how global this is becoming
@@PanelVulture Thank you for posting this. I have read it twice already and you actually taught me a lot. After my first read, the diversity of psychological tenets actually reminded me of the schisms of Christianity. The first break from Catholicism in Europe to now actually 1,700 forms of Christianity. If someone disagreed with an aspect, start another sect.
Two extremely intelligent, enjoyable and well-spoken gents. Thank you for continuing to fight the good fight! Flawed because we are flawed, Western Civilization is nonetheless the best thing that ever happened for free speech, art, medicine, creativity, Christianity and CHARITY. . . . etc. ad infinitum.

Oh what a treat 😄 two of some of my favorite people coming together and having a great conversation. Thank you both for all that you do, you won't know what a profound impact you've made on this poor wretch. Much gratitude and love ❤️
Fantastic podcast Peter and Douglas, You both touched on some fundamental points of great importance, and I particularly appreciated the original point Douglas made in reminding us that if those who reject our culture and those who founded it, we have the perfect right to reject theirs in return. Wonderful stuff.
Great talk 🙏🏾 The thing is, as an immigrant, I’m so thankful for Western culture. The people who cry racism and blame white people for all their woes don’t speak for me.
That’s the beauty of western culture. You have accepted it so now you to are a part of it. It’s not a race or ethnicity thing it’s a principles thing. Unlike many other nations where your bloodline is essential to your progression.
Thanks dr. Peterson, for everything. And thanks dr. Murray for this talk and the courage and determination to speak up for this madness and do something, I’ll definitely be looking forward to read your book.
This is why I hate listening to super smart people. They always come up with points I wish I had made!! 🙂 Well done Jordan and Douglas! This was very engaging, mind-stretching, and deeply rewarding to listen to. Thank you both for your various works and public contributions!
And to keep going in spite of getting fired, deplatformed, demonetized, canceled, black-listed, ostracized, defamed, and essentially silenced from all major platforms. It's sad how millions believe upstanding men such as Peterson and Murray are looked down upon as being racist, transphobes, sexist, misogynists, and other -ists or -phobes. It's sad how merely "following" such men on social media can get you in deep sh!t even if you disagree with most of their views and are merely curious about differing viewpoints. It goes to show you how easily people can be brainwashed to believe in the most absurd things.
Thankful to Douglas Murray for writing this much-needed book right now. Always insightful and timely, and well-spoken in interviews. Great guest. And the host knows what time it is too, it seems.
I read Douglas's books "The Strange Death of Europe" and "The Madness of Crowds". IMO he really nails what's happening around us. I haven't read The War on the West yet, but now that I've listened to this video, I will as what he said really resonates with me. However, I wasn't convinced that Jordan felt the same, at least not as much as I would have thought he would.
Jordan appears more emotionally involved with people and their individual needs on a one to one basis. But he has done much more than most to educate us about large scale issues, as has Murray, the Trigernometry fellows, and others. When a person has gone through as much as JP has, and in the public eye, maybe you reserve your passion for the causes closer to you. Also logic and emotion rarely mix well.
Outstanding conversation between two of today's great thinkers and writers. I really enjoyed Douglas Murray's "The Strange Death of Europe" back in 2018. Must read "The Madness of Crowds" and "The War on the West". Western civilisation has to be defended at all costs. Children need to be learning positive aspects about our culture, they need to have a sense of their country's history. Many people these days are incredibly ignorant about western history and culture. So few people listen to any classical music, for example.
Jordan Peterson, thanks for uploading such great conversations and content. I appreciate you without even knowing you personally, you seem like a great person to meet one day.
Except they discuss this as if the agents pushing this ideology are operating from a place of good faith when they are not which makes these discussions useless unless they are geared towards understanding the con, understanding how the con is implemented and operating and how to actively fight back against it and protect oneself from it. I mean what they are discussing was obvious three years ago and it seems that all they do is observe it as ‘phenomenon’ as if the place in a war waged against ones life and that of ones family is that of objective observation when its not. I get the distinct feeling that they could be standing on the firing line ready for execution and they will still be observing phenomenon. I find everyone’s lack of actual activity against this astounding. Its all talk at this point. They do not actually give the audience any guidelines for actually fighting this in the real. Sure Jordan actively fought against it in the university so that is a kind of example but this is a totalitarian system being built around us and we need a plan to decentralize and no one is talking about that or rather the ones who do are on the fringe. The best quote I heard on this and acted as cold water splashed in my face was by Barricade Garage who said “Even Neo had to leave the Matrix to fight it” and then he went on to discuss how and why individual people take action but he is not an intellectual. And no not protests or another podcast but how to be self sufficient. The author of “Live not by Lies” also teaches folks how to create networks that are outside the matrix which is actually offline not online. When this system has finished installing itself you do not think online discussion will be allowed without being held against you in their social credit system do you? We have to go analogue at some point but those skills are dying or dead (people cannot even operate a simple printing press!) and we are not teaching each other these necessary skills of survival. In the end this is a system we will eventually not be able to exist without unless we plan now.
This is such a brilliant conversation. Thank you men. I was particularly touched by the thoughts on resentment and it's danger to ourselves and each other. It was also nice to hear someone else saying that there was a limit to the politeness people can show to how they are framed. I've always thought that the people 'defending' minority (probably for their own self aggrandising) would ultimately cause a lot of harm to the people they're 'trying' to help if the majority gets sick of all the self flagellating we're expected to do these days.
I can't remember the last time I've heard a more inspiring conversation between two people. You two are simply amazing and I hope many will follow your example of how true western men should be. We are in desperate need of people like you. We need to defend our traditions and cultures and with rational and reasonable arguments you've presented in this video I can only see the beginning of the fight both in the intellectual and field realms. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with the world. I deeply admire you both and wish you many more decades of success in your every endeavor.
Thank you Douglas you legend, also thank you Jordan for hosting this interview. So timely and important. Continue with your bravery, we all need a leader on this topic.
Douglas Murray's The War on the West is available now on Amazon: amzn.to/3veyXqF
The fact these videos and those like it aren't getting any more views/likes than they are..... well, its the simplest evidence I can think of proving where we are as a people (and in many more ways than I care to get into at the moment because I have somewhere to be)!
Seriously though, if you aren't; interested enough, have enough comprehension skills to follow along, believe them BOTH wrong, aren't the least bit edified afterwards...... well, I guess I did have time to go into A BIT of the ways it proves (embarrassingly) how far we've fallen as a people!
Everyone these days seems to like being about "self"..... I just wish if that MUST continue, it also included an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and especially a desire for *THE TRUTH* ! Anyway, I really must go..... God Bless you Jordan and Douglas as well as your families!
I enjoy your podcast as a historian and would suggest the similarities between the cultural revolution in China and the current cancel culture of the west.
The sodomy is the last sign before the complete destruction of a civilization.
Why did you cancel your last event?
I would be forced to write an essay to attempt to clearly lay out why I am grateful to you for your podcast Jordan. It is largely because there is an infinite of areas of which I am ignorant and your podcast helps to improve my education in some of those areas. I would like to point to an individual I believe could maybe offer some insight to some of the issues you are wrapping your head around in this podcast, and that would be the economist Thomas Sowell. He has written several books of some of these very topics.
If you really think I'm going to watch 2 hours of JBP and DM on my free monday evening after a hard day at work, you're absolutely damn right!
The two most complete cultural commentators on the planet having a chat? What better way to unwind. Maybe James Lindsay will join them later and I'll take tomorrow off to watch on repeat and overdose on good red wine. Enjoy mate.

@@sammybolton2591 Did you listen to the entire podcast? Murray explicitly says cultivating 'gratitude' for what Western civilization has given the world is an antidote for the underlying resentment that has fueled this modern trend to reduce Western tradition exclusively to its worst failings and most egregious acts; no culture throughout human history has escaped such failings. Both Murray and Peterson agree it's a very high bar for people to reach, however, because as humans we are loathe to hold ourselves responsible for our choice to feel resentment. And as Murray says, resentment is a very strong emotion. It's a difficult concept to grapple with, just as practicing forgiveness is.

As a Ugandan living in Germany, I approve of the entire gratitude section. DM literally took the words out of my mouth 🙏🏿 I once said the exact same thing in a podcast 1 year ago but less eloquently. It feels good to know that we share the same thought despite me lacking the eloquence to put those thoughts out so beautifully 😘 it’s been worth it sitting in the entire Saturday. If in a few years I’m still here and my child messes around with that patriarchy nonsense I’m taking him/her back to Uganda ASAP, thanks for that tip too 🤣🤣🤣

You're about as Ugandan as apple pie.
when the masses have ideas and thoughts in their mind but lack the eloquence to speak them well, we tend to find our champion in speech and thats how these public speakers and famous commentators are born like DM and JPeterson.

You gentleman give a young man with no future such as myself a tiny ray of hope in this dark, scary time. Thank you for talking about the things that nobody else seems to be talking about. Thank you for speaking the truth, and asking the questions everyone else is too afraid to ask.
the present is all u need son
As a (relatively) young woman, I also struggle with how bleak things seem. But we can’t give up. The most revolutionary act is to proclaim loudly what is happening. Keep speaking the truth. That’s all we can do when we feel powerless.
A lot of people are concerned and are talking about these issues, but we certainly need more sensible people to talk about them. Thing is Peterson is articulate and informed so he can my a proposition and defend it, and that's not easy. My aim as a young man is to become more adept at communication. Remember that clip about the purpose of college is to learn how to communicate and think.
The future is still to be made
One young person can be the one to change the world in ways unimaginably good. Rooting for all you young people.
I have learned so much from Jordan Peterson and his talks, I can't believe how asleep I have been for 55 years, thank you for the history and all your work. I am learning things I have never been taught in all my life.
Sometimes a history lesson is from your own family and their life stories. I hate that history repeats itself. I do agree with you - I too have learned so much from podcasts
Ya love to see it. I found JBP and shared his work with my parents. They love him as well now. It's like you can look back on the past with eagle eyes after learning little lessons from him and you think, how did I not see that coming?!

Brilliant man.
he's wonderful, a true passion for culture
Me either..he is awesome!
Hours of interview this week as well. He was on Rogan, triggernometry, modern wisdom and new culture forum 🙌🏻
As an immigrant in America, I have to say that Douglas’ analysis is spot on. People like me come here because the West is awesome and gives the highest equality of opportunity to diverse groups. It used to be puzzling to me why so many born and brought up here don’t see it, but then fish don’t necessarily realize they’re in water…it’s all they know
Thank you for saying it.
There is a lot good about the western tradition. The Enlightenment values, for examples. A focus on materialism, scientific progress. However, it is not just extremists on the left who are threatening this. It's people from the right.
Most people on the left do not actually reject western enlightenment values. We've been defending it for decades against theocratic religious rightwingers and authoritarian groups. I don't like the Post-Modern left either.
I have to politely disagree with you, the problem is world over but deeply seeded in the western world through mass indoctrination and brainwashing. They want us to believe that we are free meanwhile we ravage the world to what ends? And have an elite group of tramps in control at the top who set the rules for the masses which most blindly follow, and these fuckers run pedophile rings based in London and party whilst they had us believe that we had to be in lock downs for everyones safety.. Missing out on sacred funerals, childbirth, weddings all sorts of crucial and fundamental events human beings are here to participate in as the celebration of life. Yes other world countries are corrupt too but when you look back at history it stems from the roman empire and then the western take over of many other countries... Where Britain for example raided and pillaged other countries resources and stole their ancient artifacts to stick in their museums and parade themselves as high and mightier than others. It's all a lie but not a lot of people have the stomach to see it for what it is. I'm from Ireland my country was impacted by it the ancient celtic culture, but when I attended college in the UK I realised that the British people aren't even educated on what their history is God help them all they think they have taught the rest of the world and helped them out of some kind of depravity. But in reality they decimated cultures and caused genocides knowingly.
Fish cannot be taught, human beings can, problem arises when they are are either willfully blind to reality or deliberately malevolent (as Jordan has said in multiple ways). The west is struggling with a burgeoning issue of immigration from countries that do not have what we have, yet people born here still want to burn it to the ground in favor of ...what exactly? If even 10% of the "woke "snowflakes went and spent 6 months living in some of these horrifically poverty and disease stricken areas, living just as the locals do 100%, having to walk miles and miles for water filled with parasites and bacteria, trying to grow crops in dead drought ridden soil, being hungry for days on end etc etc - if they managed to survive this ordeal (and some won't), I think they would come back to the west and start shouting at all their woke snowflake friends to STFU - just STFU, you have NO CLUE how FUCKING EASY YOUR LIVES ARE, how blessed you are to live in western society with it's good healthcare and wall to wall clean water and wifi, you must be OUT OF YOUR MINDS TO WANT TO BURN IT DOWN, literally INSANE to want to destroy what's been built here - because even with the blood of colonialism and slavery on it's hands it's STILL a lot fucking better than the alternative. If you hate western society that much, go live where I've just been, and I'll bet both my balls in less than 3 months you'll be BEGGING to come back.
If I was a billionaire, that's how I would fix this crisis - give all woke people a free plane ticket to one of these places, with a promise £100,000 if they last 6 months - I'd bet most will either die or forfeit the money to come back early.
But they'll never understand, because they don't WANT TO. (but ironically they still complain about "no wifi signal, whaaa").
Honestly, if this gets much worse, humanity would deserve an apocalypse, NEED IT, to wipe it all away and start again.
you can't understand what hard life means if you're a spoiled, cuddled brat... There's no light without darkness and all that :(. My idea is: take all the green haired wokies with their pronouns and ship them to a 3rd world country for a week. Guaranteed they won't make a single noise ever again when they get back :)))
I no longer feel alone in this. I honestly thought I was the only one thinking this way. I felt guilty and ashamed for thinking this way. But my human side , my logical thinking kept questioning me. Seems that Douglass explained my questions and my understanding of this subject. Thank you.
You are far from alone. Douglas is correct. It is not acceptable for anyone to tear down our culture and leave us with nothing, any more than it would be acceptable to do that to an African culture, an Asian culture. Etc. we have a right to take that personally, and to object to it
As an immigrant, you are not alone. Western traditions and costumes must be defended at all cost, also, because of immigrants who seek refuge in this culture. We should talk more about INTEGRATION to western culture and our new home than diversity. 1:28:23
You’ve been gaslighted sir, like the rest of us, by education, media, government and corporations all working in lockstep to propagandize and stifle all dissent. It’s much worse than most people can imagine.
I’m not sure how old you are but I grew up in the 90’s and this conditioning was definitely there then.
It’s been festering for decades and white people know all too well well what they can say and not say. The same goes for what you think and people.
You’re expected to be a punching bag both literally and figuratively as a way of balancing out the sins of the past. It’s disgusting!
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
Indeed!
Which is why authoritarian regimes usually target the literati first.
Yes, which is what white people did to black people during slavery

It's good to see that by researching his new book, Murray has broadened his perspective on slavery. In past interviews re BLM, the 2020 riots, etc. he has seemed to allude to slavery as being a particularly American issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sadly, it has been a worldwide phenomenon for thousands of year. As Thomas Sowell points out, there were more Europeans enslaved by the Barbary Pirates than the total number of African slaves in America. Indeed, it is the west, and particularly the UK and the USA, which has done more to end worldwide slavery than any other culture.
19:57 murray > explaines smth profound about the nature of slavery for a good minute
perterson > deflects with a comically smarty wordsalad.
Hence the term ‘Slav’ in Eastern Europe.
Murray has a good deal of hypocrisy. He bashed Putin and Russia but he never bashed UK for destroying Iraq .
Yes, the majority of those espousing this ideology are committing the anachronism fallacy. The arrogance is outstanding. Essentially standing on the shoulders of your ancestors, as if you were any better. Slavery was legal throughout the world. It’s part of our history as a specie. Digging up graves won’t do anything. Rather foolish that people don’t see it.
This is of course followed by the classic bad faith response of "By pointing out European suffering you are minimizing the suffering of BIPOC's and other minorities.". They understand that victim narratives are extremely powerful and will never allow other groups to diminish their current monopoly on them. People need to understand it is about power, not empathy.
I've followed Douglas Murray for a couple of years now, he has such clear understanding of the complete mess we are in and has the courage to speak out, I believe our country could be rebuilt in terms of pride and hard work, if a man like this were our Prime Minister.

What a treat to have two geniuses have an intellectually unfettered discussion on issues of the utmost importance for humanity with such courtesy towards each other. Thank you, Gentlemen. ❣️
Brilliant conversation. Two minds in symphony on a quest for what is right and good. It almost brings me to tears of joy that there are individuals leading the way and fighting a good fight to keep us on a noble path. Keep on keeping on
I think the reasons Mr. Murray or Dr. Peterson are so popular is they can articulate things that many people see but can't describe. They also do it with a dry wit and brilliant vocabulary!
Well Douglas definitely can. I think Jordan was still in some discomfort at the time. At least he appeared to me to be suffering in some way.
Amazing to have free access to this production line of incredible conversations. Thank you Dr Peterson, for your expertly conducted interviews and the continuous and nourishing supply of brain food!
For the first time in my life, Douglas has made me feel patriotic about being English. My complete respect and love to both of you 🙏🏼❤️
Listening to these two GIANTS on the 'reading' of our cloudy and chilling days is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. They make the contrary narrative looks poor, fragile, naked. That's a PITY it is unreachable to people in my country - I'm BRAZILIAN (Portuguese-speaking), just a few people know English. Thanks for everything, Dr. Peterson. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
History will NOT judge these two kindly or fondly .
@James T Cat Cado Then let history judge us patriots and loyalists as the revolution prevails. We care not. We will go to the Lord's kingdom and sip tea with Benedict.
@@KopperNeoman ok, Bro
Esse livro com certeza será traduzido ao português, você não acha?
go ahead waste your money on this foo s book. these two mother faking clowns should address the enslavement and exploitment torture of the most innocent creatures on the planet-animals. murray is a modern day slave master. blacks were not only enslaved-they were raped tortured , children molested and raped , experimented on etc etc.... majority of whites still hate blacks just for being black-i live in canada-i know this for a fact. i cant listen to these two racist any more. talkin shit bout blacks selling blacks.
This is the first time hearing Douglas Murray and boy oh boy is he impressive. I actually will be recommending this video to some of my friends. We need a lot more of this reality to be exposed to shut down the insanity and stupidity that makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Anti Racist Theory is being practiced in hospitals already. It must be halted. Elizabeth Warren has proposed a bill twice now to put anti racism into healthcare.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Astounding. My heart hurts for our youth being subjected to all of this. School Boards have been infiltrated...thankful so many parents are fighting back.
There is an awful evil trying to takeover US.
Praying it's diverted.
🙏✌
He is definitely a brilliant man but he has the typical white British slave master attitude towards the world.His fact are feeble and why is he so worry about a group of people who was being oppressed has manage to educate themselves and is striving for uplifting their self and is not accepting the old slave mentality?? What he seems to want is for the world to continue honoring their white masters rules and should not try to free themselves from their clutches.Great discussions.
If you haven't by now try Lex Friedman's interview with Douglas Murray, I think you'd enjoy it
@@helensmusings Thanks! I will check it out. How ironic--at the exact moment you recommended your video, I was looking up a movie for an acquaintance.
@@WhistlesToAnimals lol good timing, I've just finished listening to it and was thrilled to have come across it. I wish you joy in your discovery 😊
Thank you Mr. Peterson and Mr. Murray for sharing your time! The "insanity" that is attacking everything that I think decent is and has been too much. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you both so much. I'm quite sure there is a war on free society, our history, family and community.
And the only way to stop it is at the local level.
There is not!
@@Carbon915 there is not! Okay. You're welcome.🙏
Brenda, seek the Lord. He is the power and the glory, and the only way,. Amen.
@@Carbon915 Seek the Lord. Amen.
“Gratitude is a form of courage” - That is such a profound concept.
It reminds me of the old Smiths lyrics: “It’s so easy to hate, it’s so easy to laugh. It takes strength to be gentle and kind”
10000%
It's easy to be kind & gentle.
“Ohhhh mother… I can feel…. The soil falling over my head….”
Yeah it’s really easy to be cynical and hate the world. It’s really hard to be grateful for what it has given you.
It’s so easy to laugh, it’s so easy to hate, it takes guts to be gentle and kind.
Douglas's chapter on gratitude is one of the most powerful series of pages I've read in a long time.
The Brilliance of these two men is a conversation that can change your life. I love the clarity and their vulnerability to examine their own arguments
I'm just finishing the book. Really a worthwhile read and I so envy Douglas Murray's incisive mind.
This is fantastic! Thank you both for having this discussion.
Two of my favorite human minds...i love the way these guys think....
Thank you, this was a gold nugget for the ears. Especially everything said after ,
" The devil is incapable of gratitude. " Absolutely spot on.
I bought War on The West and I adore both these brilliant men ❤
What a fantastic conversation by two of my favourite minds of our times.
I found this conversation to be one of the most fascinating conversations I have heard in a while. The University that I attend in South Africa (Stellenbosch University) has a psychology course, which I take, that has the exact claims made in this video. The curriculum seems to be attached to the past injustices of our country (apartheid), and sort of uses it as a smokescreen to attach these anti-western views to it. The Marxist and Liberal views they use make it seem like the answer to all our problems when here in SA the problems lie way beyond that. For instance. there is an article that we have to read called "Challenging the Hegemony of Eurocentric Psychology" by ANTHONY VERNON NAIDOO which we needed to read and write academic essays based off of it. I am shocked at how global this is becoming
It seems that they want to bring back the "old days." And play a reverse uno card.
Is there anything wrong in Naidoo’s article?
@@PanelVulture Thank you for posting this. I have read it twice already and you actually taught me a lot. After my first read, the diversity of psychological tenets actually reminded me of the schisms of Christianity. The first break from Catholicism in Europe to now actually 1,700 forms of Christianity. If someone disagreed with an aspect, start another sect.
Awe bra
Michail, I want to create a chat somewhere, to gather people who explores Jordan's works. would you like to join?
Two extremely intelligent, enjoyable and well-spoken gents. Thank you for continuing to fight the good fight! Flawed because we are flawed, Western Civilization is nonetheless the best thing that ever happened for free speech, art, medicine, creativity, Christianity and CHARITY. . . . etc. ad infinitum. We're on your team, men!

Douglas Murray gives such great and passionate interviews. Thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable.
Can't stop listening to these two (individually) on JRE - love it!
Something else isn’t it. Utterly fabulous
Oh what a treat 😄 two of some of my favorite people coming together and having a great conversation. Thank you both for all that you do, you won't know what a profound impact you've made on this poor wretch. Much gratitude and love ❤️
2 of the people I can happily listen to for hours. 2 great intelligent men.
Murray has evoked Lord Kenneth Clark. As suspected, Murray is a man of civilization.
Absolutely brilliant and highly enlightening! Here, I do actually learn things and angles I didn't yet know. Thank you to both of you!
Fantastic podcast Peter and Douglas, You both touched on some fundamental points of great importance, and I particularly appreciated the original point Douglas made in reminding us that if those who reject our culture and those who founded it, we have the perfect right to reject theirs in return. Wonderful stuff.
Great talk 🙏🏾 The thing is, as an immigrant, I’m so thankful for Western culture. The people who cry racism and blame white people for all their woes don’t speak for me.
I agree. I'm an immigrant too and I find this Western white hatred very disgusting and very stupid.
Because it’s mostly other white people who blame white people.
That’s the beauty of western culture. You have accepted it so now you to are a part of it. It’s not a race or ethnicity thing it’s a principles thing. Unlike many other nations where your bloodline is essential to your progression.
Best of luck in your future endeavors! It's great to have you among us!
Ryan Donovan thank you that’s so kind!
Whoa! This is a very important topic worldwide.
Thankyou so much Jordan and Douglas.
Thanks dr. Peterson, for everything. And thanks dr. Murray for this talk and the courage and determination to speak up for this madness and do something, I’ll definitely be looking forward to read your book.
Douglas Murray is hands down one of the foremost thinkers of our generation.
@@utv5490 You just demonstrated that Murray doesn't have much competition
Vital discussion in this day and age-incredibly insightful, nuanced and well thought out as usual-best of luck with the book Douglas!
This is why I hate listening to super smart people.
They always come up with points I wish I had made!! 🙂
Well done Jordan and Douglas!
This was very engaging, mind-stretching, and deeply rewarding to listen to.
Thank you both for your various works and public contributions!
Douglas Murray is on the front lines for us !.. more courage than any GOP politician in the country.
One of the greatest moral challenges of a person is to keep going in the direction of their ideals when their ideals, themselves, are under attack.
Well said!
And to keep going in spite of getting fired, deplatformed, demonetized, canceled, black-listed, ostracized, defamed, and essentially silenced from all major platforms. It's sad how millions believe upstanding men such as Peterson and Murray are looked down upon as being racist, transphobes, sexist, misogynists, and other -ists or -phobes. It's sad how merely "following" such men on social media can get you in deep sh!t even if you disagree with most of their views and are merely curious about differing viewpoints. It goes to show you how easily people can be brainwashed to believe in the most absurd things.
Continuity is so important.
Thankful to Douglas Murray for writing this much-needed book right now. Always insightful and timely, and well-spoken in interviews. Great guest. And the host knows what time it is too, it seems.
I read Douglas's books "The Strange Death of Europe" and "The Madness of Crowds". IMO he really nails what's happening around us. I haven't read The War on the West yet, but now that I've listened to this video, I will as what he said really resonates with me. However, I wasn't convinced that Jordan felt the same, at least not as much as I would have thought he would.
Jordan appears more emotionally involved with people and their individual needs on a one to one basis. But he has done much more than most to educate us about large scale issues, as has Murray, the Trigernometry fellows, and others. When a person has gone through as much as JP has, and in the public eye, maybe you reserve your passion for the causes closer to you. Also logic and emotion rarely mix well.
It is always such a revitalizing breath of fresh air to listen to both of you speak! Thank you for this enlightening conversation!
Outstanding conversation between two of today's great thinkers and writers. I really enjoyed Douglas Murray's "The Strange Death of Europe" back in 2018. Must read "The Madness of Crowds" and "The War on the West". Western civilisation has to be defended at all costs. Children need to be learning positive aspects about our culture, they need to have a sense of their country's history. Many people these days are incredibly ignorant about western history and culture. So few people listen to any classical music, for example.
Jordan Peterson, thanks for uploading such great conversations and content. I appreciate you without even knowing you personally, you seem like a great person to meet one day.
@pinned-by Jordan B Peterson•▫️ what is this? damn you little brat 😂😂
Except they discuss this as if the agents pushing this ideology are operating from a place of good faith when they are not which makes these discussions useless unless they are geared towards understanding the con, understanding how the con is implemented and operating and how to actively fight back against it and protect oneself from it. I mean what they are discussing was obvious three years ago and it seems that all they do is observe it as ‘phenomenon’ as if the place in a war waged against ones life and that of ones family is that of objective observation when its not. I get the distinct feeling that they could be standing on the firing line ready for execution and they will still be observing phenomenon. I find everyone’s lack of actual activity against this astounding. Its all talk at this point. They do not actually give the audience any guidelines for actually fighting this in the real. Sure Jordan actively fought against it in the university so that is a kind of example but this is a totalitarian system being built around us and we need a plan to decentralize and no one is talking about that or rather the ones who do are on the fringe. The best quote I heard on this and acted as cold water splashed in my face was by Barricade Garage who said “Even Neo had to leave the Matrix to fight it” and then he went on to discuss how and why individual people take action but he is not an intellectual. And no not protests or another podcast but how to be self sufficient. The author of “Live not by Lies” also teaches folks how to create networks that are outside the matrix which is actually offline not online. When this system has finished installing itself you do not think online discussion will be allowed without being held against you in their social credit system do you? We have to go analogue at some point but those skills are dying or dead (people cannot even operate a simple printing press!) and we are not teaching each other these necessary skills of survival. In the end this is a system we will eventually not be able to exist without unless we plan now.
This is such a brilliant conversation. Thank you men. I was particularly touched by the thoughts on resentment and it's danger to ourselves and each other. It was also nice to hear someone else saying that there was a limit to the politeness people can show to how they are framed. I've always thought that the people 'defending' minority (probably for their own self aggrandising) would ultimately cause a lot of harm to the people they're 'trying' to help if the majority gets sick of all the self flagellating we're expected to do these days.
Thank you Mr. Murray. The politeness is over and time to taste their own medicine. Thank you Dr. Peterson for having such wonderful guest.
I can't remember the last time I've heard a more inspiring conversation between two people. You two are simply amazing and I hope many will follow your example of how true western men should be. We are in desperate need of people like you. We need to defend our traditions and cultures and with rational and reasonable arguments you've presented in this video I can only see the beginning of the fight both in the intellectual and field realms. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with the world. I deeply admire you both and wish you many more decades of success in your every endeavor.
Thank you Douglas you legend, also thank you Jordan for hosting this interview. So timely and important. Continue with your bravery, we all need a leader on this topic.
