As an ex-Petersonian, this is just to say to all his fans that are probably lurking here somewhere in the comments - there is no shame in reassesing your beliefs.
I’m a big fan of his older stuff, his newer stuff that’s coming out is less my style. I like to think I’m pretty centralised on the political spectrum for most things, but I like his opinions on the Male-Issues of the world. I actually really appreciate this comment because I have been reassessing a lot of my beliefs I held.
Like he says. Sort his wheat from his chaff. There is a lot worth listening to and thinking about when he lectures within his field of competence, psychology and self-help. There are many simplistic summaries (clean your room, lobsters, etc) pedalled that do not adequately reflect the thought provoking core of his earlier lecture series, borne of his clinical practice, and he has participated openly in that with the drive to make his platform more ... "accessible". There are many trivial criticisms in this video that ironically are unnecessarily verbose and spend a Pareto-esque amount of time away from the powerful discussion points. Unfortunately JP has devolved into the culture warrior that 5 years ago he protested he was not, and his output is filled with ever more subjectivity in what is not psychology but far more rigidly objective topic areas. His adaptation of definitions to be broad and subjective to support his conservative bent to find reasons to explain the world as it exists, from a self-identifying scientist who advocates precision in speech, is something he has always done to some extent but is increasingly overt and hypocritical. He is eroding his own credibility with this current hyperventilation about facism and deadnaming, switching from provocateur to expedient claim of victimhood. Ugh.
@@syklone_ thanks for the reply. I'm somewhat centrist-left now (social democrat) but I observed that my more left-leaning friends have really no patience or space for allowing other people to reflect and reach conclusions that they propose. I do believe that if you just derisively criticise somebody, somehow trying to shame your opponent into submission they are just going to rigidify themselves and double down. I think one can acknowledge some of the real plights modern men are experiencing without discrediting real challenges that women experience. Just a thought. Also, what led me further away from JP's stuff (besides stuff Cody mentions) was realization that all the interesting wheat I sifted out from JP's chaff was 99% consisting of Jung, Campbell and maybe Nietzsche. The rest of self-help I needed I found on therapy and the need for Peterson stuff just disappeared naturally.
This is a great comment for everyone to remember. Reassessing our beliefs is part of what makes us intellectually healthy, especially since we come across new information all the time. Thanks so much for this reminder.
Hey I'm a centrist/social democrat too, though I'm less leftist than my family. Always was a bit suspicious of him but in many of his early talks I ended up siding with him. The way he gets so passionate and emotional in many of his lectures looks like mild mania to me, at state where everything you say can start sounding profound and you lose your inner critic.I think it almost looks like his mental state has deteriorated over the years, perhaps a combination of his illness and his no doubt streesful place in politics an twitter.
1:16:20 as an indigenous person I can tell you why "double helixes" are found in lots of art. BECAUSE WE BRAID THINGS. Hair, materials for weaving, and more. So while cultural reasons exist and vary, braiding things together makes materials stronger. Just another example of him taking his biased perspective of the world as fact.
No, you see, a long time ago the indigenous people actually got microscopes from the magic space monkeys and after they saw DNA strands they started braiding their hair like it, clearly he's right because he knows the dictionary definitions of words better than the rest of us
Though apparently he doesn't know the dictionary definition of "climate". Which is weird, because surely there are scientists at his university who could explain it to him.@@justalonelypoteto
@@Some_Average_JoeYou are asking an indigenus person as a source of why the indigenus people do the things the way they do???? Like.... They're the primary source???????
No hierarchies did not start with our industry. Sure we were more egalitarian but looking at tribes living today all of them have some form of hierarchies. We see this also across the animal kingdom in all kinds of animals. Peterson doesn't argue for a strict hierarchie but just says that they are inevitable. And the more complex a society becomes the more you need a better hierarchie to organize the society. The Inkas and Mayas all had kings and hierarchies and you will find the same with every other culture that grows to a certain size. There is no way around it.
@@EbonyPope Yes, we must be like the Incas and Mayans, they have been consistently successful for Millennia and they have hierarchies. Just look at how they still succeed even today. How can we ignore their lessons. They are still amongst the strongest and most successful societies. Aren’t they? Checks notes….. oh.
@@daviebananas1735 And there is the one who has no comprehension skills. A desrciptive statement just says how things are/were not how they should be. Peterson never argued that there is no wiggleroom. He is fully aware that ancient cultures were more egalitarian but that wasn't his point. His point was that as soon as you have a society you create hierarchies. He elaborated on that saying that it would be better to call them competence hierarchies. You want a plumber? How you gonna call? Surely not the worst you clearly want someone who is capable. Bang. You created a hierarchie. Or preference if you prefer that word. Even the most egalitarian hunter gatherers had hierarchies. Or do you think the most inexperienced hunters were leading the hunt? It is well documented that even our ancestors had elders, head of families, town leaders or kings. None of what he said contradicts what Peterson said. He is only defeating the strawman he created.
Love how he said you don't throw out Neitzsche because of the odd weird statement but then throws out the entire tradition of Marxism from a half-assed partial reading of the Manifesto.
the man read about it for 40 years and has his house filled with communist paintings. what you is doing is looking at a edited video and assuming thats that..
The best description of Jordan Peterson I have ever heard is that he excels in talking in a way that less intelligent people think highly intelligent people talk.
I think intelligence is a part of it, but education is a larger factor. I would think a somewhat below average person given correct information could be competent to question such grifters assuming they haven't already been indoctrinated to accept this stuff. Similarly, I k ow someone I would say seems at least in a technical sense near genius. The pace at which he absorbs and applies technical information is insane. But he is uneducated other then self taught technical info and he has absorbed some of this shit. Once the seed is planted pulling him out is difficult because of the implied axioms of this type of thought and the general unwillingness of people to renounce the ideological.
@@OK-bg2px Well, I've seen more and more UA-cam videos of professionals coming out to talk about, for example, gender dysphoria, which is a real thing that affects o.01% roughly of the population.
@@ianstover How many Peterson lectures and interviews have you seen? Do you even understand what he is saying? What ideology? You're a brainwashed fool, Peterson's conclusions are based on facts. He's a clinical psychologist. Clinical. That's clinical data.
This is such a small things ,but as a neuroscientist I got real upset when he said serotonin was *the* most important chemical in the brain. It really isn't. If *any* neurotransmitter is used all over the brain, the closest we could come to that is glutamate or GABA. But really they're all vital and play their own roles. There is no hierarchy of neurotransmitters 😉
It's because EVERYTHING has to have a hierarchy to him. There NEEDS to be a hierarchy. There just has to be, there is no situation where there is not a hierarchy in his mind. It's obviously ridiculous, but it's his ideology.
@@jodajoda2863 To add to what you've said, I find that JP uses hierarchy in a different way entirely. To him, any event where more than one choices/possibilities exist, the representation becomes a hierarchy. Whether it's choosing between a sandwich and an ice-cream, or choosing to ask a question vs not asking it (like that student) - the formulation of all such situations are (to JP) hierarchical. He broadens the scope of the word so much that it becomes too entirely ubiquitous.
He's not a neuroscientist. He doesn't know shit about neuroscience. That shit pissed me off too. He's a psychologist, so he's probably learned SOME neuroscience, but it's way out of his wheelhouse. His specialty is personality and social psychology. The guy just likes talking out of his ass.
Cody mentioning he has a girlfriend kinda made my brain short circuit because it reminded me that he is an actual human and not some ethereal news goblin here to punish me for my news crimes.
After this video I had a wave of guilt wash over me. I was struck with doubt when I saw JP's video response about the Elliot Page ban. I used to defend him because I liked his rhetoric about boys being left behind. But when I saw him roleplay the hero in a special suit and light, he instantly appeared to me as madman. So I stopped defending him or sharing any of his content. But now after watching your video, I'm starting to think I could make amends by making sure no one falls in the same traps I did. Thank you for your work.
One thing I really liked for helping in terms of myself understanding the boys being left behind concept was Brené Brown's "Men, Women, and Worthiness" segment. I would get really pissed with my bf at the time for not seeing what I was struggling with, and realised through listening to that regularly that I also didn't know what he was going through. Life is a challenging place, but we can do this. 🌏
Roughly speaking, culture is a see-saw. It's insufficient to simply even up the weight. An impetus is required, and the hypocritical matriarchy is the most expedient way to remove the patriarchy. The trick is going to be, to make sure the matriarchy is smoothed over to make equality.
@@hiddenechoes I admit that age 68 the boys left behind concept was something I could only conceptualize in terms of Lucy being mean to Charlie Brown which is .... not uncommon. i.ve been lucky, my guy was my best friend and I miss him like hell. And to reverse the experience, boys shaming girls for .... being girls same thing. I went to a girls school so didn't have to deal with any of that stuff until uni where it was lurking anyway but I survived. I had a great Dad who loomed benevolently in the doorway should I have a question about anything, clapped loudly when I was learning to ride a bike and fell off repeatedly which pissed me off ... in short he was also my best friend. (And so was my mum and they really liked each other). I was lucky, and frankly he would regard Jordan Peterson as an insect ... actually he wouldn't because that person would not ever enter his mind he had better things to do. He was shot in the back in WW2 rescuing a friend and got him to safety was hilariously proud of being a man with one kidney, courtly, funny "I'm only handsome because my wife picks out my clothes" brain the size of a planet and momentary moments of utter illogical madness but ALWAYS a protector of those in need and the planet in general. I don't think JP has the cognitive abilities to even understand that those are values that are worthy of respect.
if someone asks you something that's counterintuitive of your own world view of courses you will be in any relationship especially where its a tediously intense stakes like finding a common ground with one another in a debate. in order to properly think about it you need to clarify and ask why don't you understand other wise it leads us in making false assumptions about the other party which can lead to the debate going off the rails
Dr. Peterson is my favorite clinical psychologist, neuroscientist, astrobiologist, evolutionary biologist, mechanical engineer, fashion designer, male model, actor, historian, climate scientist, marine biologist, firefighter, Olympic swimmer, renal nurse, brain surgeon, and ballet dancer. It's unimaginable how one man could have accomplished so much and obtained so many PhDs in such a short amount of time , but alas, here he is in all his glory.
I absolutely love when people with inflated egos say the wealth naturally disperses to the smartest and most capable. I got multiple letters from the white house in regards to getting the highest marks on standardized tests as a kid. I was on track to have my pick of university. Shit happened and my family ended up without a home for a time, been under the poverty line most of my adult life. I'm still just as "intelligent" but my circumstances changed and my opportunities dried up. I'm making 30k a year instead of 30k a minute because capitalism doesn't give a fuck about you if you don't have the means and a ton of luck
😔 I'm very sorry that happened to you. I have a similar story (ending up in poverty the majority of my adult life) despite being above average in schooling. It's very unfair, and I hate it when rich people write it off by saying "well life isn't fair buttercup, suck it up"...yeah, I realize that, and that's a huge problem because it could be fair...ya know? We live in the richest nation on earth, we had a complete psychopathic moron as president who was filthy rich for just being born into luxury. Yet, single mothers are starving, our parents would rather die than go into medical debt. Shit is beyond unfair, it's just fucking cruel! Anyways, take care friend and stay safe 😊
Capitalism doesn't value your intelligence or anything else you have to offer beyond your labour. I lament the number of unique and important minds we missed out on as they spent their lives stacking shelves in order to eat.
If people had more empathy for each other, capitalism would die a natural death. Most of the employer class just straight up don't understand what it's like to work and not receive a fair wage. They might have worked hard in their day, but in their day, wages better matched labor. Most of them just don't get that the wages they're paying are causing their employees to struggle. It doesn't even cross their minds. You can see this attitude in the condescending signs on businesses all across the country decrying that "no one wants to work." Correction, employers: no one wants to work for what YOU'RE paying.
Every time Jordan Peterson talks, all I hear is that kid in history class who claimed to be playing "devils advocate" during the WW2 lesson but actually just wanted to say shockingly horrible things to get attention.
@yasminc7827 I think they were just using a simile to compare petersom to a kid that hides behind devils advocate to say horrible stuff (implying by the ww2 part to be saying nazi things)
@@getaround1276 oh, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation. This is a bit off topic, but I think we need to move past the preoccupation we have in our culture with ww2 nazis. According to my grandfather, who fought in the British Army in ww2, the British didn’t even use the term ‘nazi’ much during ww2. They called them Germans. The soldiers they fought were just soldiers, not supervillains. For political and propaganda reasons, we hold one horrible event in history above all other horrible events, which is dishonest.

Weird criticism tbh, that's exactly what right wingers say about us. Complicated questions have complicated answers. The desire for succinct answers is understandable but not if it gets in the way of a correct one.
@@marciamakesmusic No one said anything about complicated questions though. The comment you're responding to only refers to yes/no questions, which are the opposite of complicated. Also, it was, like, a joke, y'know?
Peterson reminds me of a time that me and my friends at the time smoked a large amount of marijuana, ate a lot of shrooms, and wandered around in downtown Louisville Kentucky on a dead Sunday. I fell asleep in the back of a car, and had an intense shroom dream, and woke up having felt like I had an epiphany on the nature of life and all things, and i started freaking out trying to tell my friends what I had unlocked in my brain just prattling out incomprehensible words desperately trying to convey my revelation watching them slowly grow from interested to concerned. Unlike myself, Peterson never moved past trying to get people on board.
Shroom dream would have summed that up nicely. Peterson’s rantings remind you of your shroom dream…with ingested weed thoughts too. While not an outright insult it is true…or would be if you or I ever did such things.
@@jonahkaun891 a percentage of the rabble will like whatever slop is fed to them. The owners of all the media JPee speaks on push his BS because it's a BS that entrenches rather than threatens existing systems of power.
It's really amazing how you managed to cram so much info into such a short, consumable video! though, speaking of consumable, I am really hungry since I started watching it. Also it seems like the sky's darker now? weird.
Jordan Peterson is a master of sounding as if he knows what he's talking about in a way any actual expert on the topic could recognize as bullshit, but sounds believable to someone who is not.
As an engineer… we use all sorts of tests and sensitivity analysis to know what variables are important to include… so the idea that atmospheric physicists don’t do the same betrays a profound ignorance of hard science.
moreover, the general notion of it all, if you remove the fluff, seems to be that "you don't know what the word environment means, therefore you're wrong kiddo" is so ridiculously hilarious and pedantic, made me spit out my drink
I love Peterson, his lectures have opened up so many doors, and authors, and helped me get a decent political image of the world (starting when I did politics in University).He is one of the most influential, inspiring honest, erudite people in the world. He knows one hell of a lot of things about many IMPORTANT things... - BUT - !!! Peterson has got it wrong about climate change. To quote another charismatic inspirer (Dr Karl ) Its real, we did it, its bad already, and we cannot stop it from continually getting worse and worse for at least 20 years. There will be a myriad of related issues such as - you may end up going to war with anyone between you and the equator, and it get worse if all the methane in Greenland tries to make a break for it. Now - Regarding Corporate propaganda, and its shameless exponent - Bjorn Longborn was famous for moving to Australia (Perth West Australia- where the mines are) and getting a bunch of support from Gina Reinhardt (for a while Australia's richest woman and Bigtime owner of Coal Mines - FYI - She stole all the wealth from her kids so it "wouldn't get stolen from them"). Anyhow Bjorn is very smart, but he uses his smarts for various often short term cynical strategies to spread FUD while trying to discredit valid, diligent scientific work about climate change; to a level that boggles the mind. He has somehow got himself lodged and whispering in Jordan Petersons's ear. This is a bad thing, but I am hoping that one day Jordan will be going down various intellectual rabbit holes (as he does) and will find Bjorn there, as a snake .
I think it comes down to the fact Peterson is in no way a scientist. Jungian psychology is somewhere between philosophy, science, and bullshiting and because Peterson is Peterson he believes hard sciences are the same.
No man in history was more victimized by the Dunning-Kruger effect. He's so certain he's unambiguously right about every single thing that ever popped in his head despite knowing so very nearly nothing about anything
It's hilarious because he hates both empirical science and postmodernism, meanwhile postmodern therapy and (the very empirically based) cognitive behavioral therapy are both extremely effective and brief compared to the kind of pseudoscience that he practiced with Jungian and Freudian techniques. Not to mention multicultural and feminist therapy being pretty standard for the whole field these days. Like he doesn't even know much about Psychology 😂

Interviewer: "Have you ever answered a yes or no question with a one-word response?" JP: "Well, see, as a world-class linguist I have to say it depends on what you mean by 'word.' Do you mean the smallest unit of meaningful language? In that case, what would 'well' have meant in the beginning of my response just now? And by 'answer' do you mean just a response to a question or are there any underpinnings of having to 'answer to' someone in a hierarchical sense? Because hierarchies change the context of the question being asked to less of a casual, optional answer into more of a demand, even if it's unintentional, due to power structures. And that's because these, let's say, power structures have been around since time immemorial. Lobsters have power structures. But you know what social construct they didn't have? Infanticide. And I can confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt, since I'm a fully-credentialed marine biologist because I've been going to the aquarium and studying the animals there for 40 years, that lobsters have no rules about infanticide. In fact, if we go back further in evolutionary history, which I can speak to as an evolutionary biologist, we see that many species, in fact, had no gender roles and no particular role at all in the life of offspring. This was before trees and lobsters, so it must be hardwired into our brains to not care for our young and have no distinguishable gender roles. But if we're going by the most numerous animals on earth, we have to at least look to ants to figure out how we should structure gender in society. One queen who flies around, mates, and pumps out babies until she does while a harem of men provide her with a huge mansion and are at her beck and call. But wouldn't that be discrimination based on gender? Not if you're a cultural Marxist. That's just the type of matriarchal society they want. I know this because I, myself, am a professor of feminist studies. So, in answer to your question, I don't think that we should allow pineapples on pizza unless the top is the hearty meat because we can't have sweetness represented as the topmost layer, as sweetness is often permissiveness and is therefore chaos. We must temper this with order, which is the meaty structure of the ham."
For real the man can't even start his answers with a yes or no 🤣🤣🤣. You could ask him if he likes cake and he'd give you a whole paper on baked goods and still somehow never answer your question🤣
But on the other hand, it's the oldest trick in the interviewer/debater's book to try to summarise a complex topic that cannot be answered with yes/no, and say "it's a yes no question", even though it really isn't, to try to force the person they're interviewing / arguing with into saying something that misrepresents what they really mean and can be used against them.
If you can explain complex issues in a simple way, then it's probably a crude summary that omits vitally important information, that leads to very incorrect assumptions.

43:38 This is actually a cool and inspiring story. The guy who first postulated the idea of alpha wolves, L. David Mech, eventually refuted his own finding when he realized he had based the idea largely on aberrant behavior of captive wolves that didn't accurately represent how they would behave in the wild. It turns out that the "alpha" male and female of a wild wolf pack are just parents teaching their young how to hunt, not physically dominant members of a peer group. This is how good science is done - make your best guess with the evidence you have, then become your theory's own harshest critic when you get new information that doesn't support your previous ideas. Our boy Jordson could learn a lot from the humility of such honest scientific methodology.
The guy who accidentally kick-started the gluten-free craze did the same thing. His findings potentially linking gluten to gastrointestinal problems got a ton of attention so he re-did the study with an unusual level of rigor. People who claimed to be gluten sensitive stayed at the experiment site for weeks and ate only food provided by researchers. They never knew when their meals had gluten or not, but they did give regular reports on how they felt. Gluten itself didn't have a significant effect, but a class of molecules called FODMAPs that are found in cereal grains among other foods appeared to be the culprit behind some (but not all) participants' reported discomfort.
It's also another one of those things where you kind of have to cringe when you look at things you've done in the past. I feel like if you don't, you're not self-aware enough. I know you were talking about research, but this was just a small related thought I had.

This means that if I start speaking about the 2015 economic state of Uganda, I have absolutely no idea what the hell I am talking about and should not be given more weight in the discussion than any other participant. People need to stop pretending that being an academic makes you qualified to speak about any random field.
well it's one thing to speak about it and another to speak about things with a sense of authority. I'm in the corner of mechanical engineering, and a licensed car mechanic. When it comes to mechanics and how to fix your car, I don't think it's wrong of me to speak like I have more knowledge and experience with that to tell you what is best for your car (and if you tell me your budget, we can find a compromise for what can be done and pursue a solution together) but when it comes to medicine, I'm clueless, so if I speak about health or medicine or even biology I either read about it and cite my sources, or I am transparent about how I actually am not a person that has an educated opinion on that matter. Even if I read a lot of studies, I have not learned about the topic in the step by step way you'd learn in a class, where the boring but important information is taught aswell. Anyone that is educated in the field of science does know that no one speaks about science in absolute ways, all we have are theories that need further investigation for clarification, so that is another thing about Peterson. He doesn't use the little science he does know, the way a scientist would.
It’s also because he just uses big words in an attempt to sound smart, and to make complete gibberish sound thoughtful. And of course the generic self help shit makes him seem like a caring father figure to them.
but ... but ... listen ... ur qualification means u can read and comprehend other stuff as well ... therefore JP here is a jack of all trade master in ... everything oh c'mon now
You can be sure JP has an opinion on chemistry and the economy of Uganda. In both cases, he will say, they are suffering from the ill effects of cultural marxism and post modernist academia destroying the fabric of society.
I used to listen to him until I heard him say sexual abuse should be considered sexual abuse when the male parts of the family feel like it's sexual abuse. I was sexual molested by two of my cousin brothers when I was only 6 and they are supposed to be the "male parts" of the family. He thinks something has to be noticed by a man in order for it to be taken into consideration
Even men get sexually assaulted, so many men in our society refuse to believe men can get harassed too. Jordan doesn't care about men or women, he is just a straight up psychopath and a grifter.
It's wild to me that people can hear Jorpson say something so blatantly misogynistic and not come to the conclusion that he's a misogynist. Well, that and everything else that he has said.
Peterson somehow thinks he's intelligent because he has a PHD, and yet he says so many stupid and ignorant things. As a behavioral psychologist, he should be able to understand what a sexual predator is and how they tend to justify their actions and minimize the damage they inflict on their victims. Especially in the case of predators who molest or assault family members, they often don't think they have done anything wrong. I'm very sorry for what happened to you. Please ignore idiots like Peterson. Even with his fancy PHD, he has no idea what he is talking about!
Peterson: Clean your room and take responsibility for it and you will be happy Also Peterson: No don't clean up your planet, that's not the same... Look, see, imagine if you were a grasshopper and this was 1930s Germany...
@Benjamin Eby Lol. You absolutely can clean the planet and many people in service jobs do just that. What people are saying though is that it's not enough -- and no. No individual Joe Schmoe is responsible for-- or can really do anything about the climate crisis. It needs to be a concerted effort by many people (that meaning, governments) who all currently live on said planet. Basically, our metaphysical rooms. I think what you're interpreting is that saying "clean the planet" literally means one person going from country to country, dredging rivers, reverse osmosis sewage, picking up litter, re-planting all the trees, setting up wind turbines, inspecting nuclear power plants, etc. Which is just a dumb assumption to draw. You and I are literal nobodies. We don't have the time, resources or power to do anything.
@Benjamin Eby Toddler logic. Like how little kids will make a huge mess in seconds and then act like the end of the world when told to clean it up. You make a mess in your room, you clean it up. You make a mess on your planet, you clean it up.
Jordan Peterson is the personification of the pseudo-science that Foucault exposed as a fraud decades ago. Every time I listen to him, I enjoy thinking that Foucault was right. As Cody said, Peterson isn’t a serious person. He is a psychologist who thinks he is a scientist. But psychology simply is not science and that is why he can never answer any questions - he is actually right: psychology doesn’t know enough to make any claims. However, the mistake he makes is talking at all. He should just be quiet.
Didn't he admit 100% of his knowledge of postmodernism stems from one Hitchens book that's criticized as a bad book on postmodernism? Peterson really embodies the image of stereotypical online smart person who has read a little on every topic and is decent at quoting stuff. Without the academic credentials he'd be just a random internet smartass.
Peterson is a bullshit artist. He likes to string big words together in an effort to mask the absurdity of his positions with word vomit complexity. I've seen acardemics do this a lot to prevent other scientists from questioning their methodology and/or conclusions. But Peterson isn't even all that great at it. It's a little confounding that people fall for it, but then again think of the MILLIONS of rubes who bought Trumps endless stream of mouth excrement and he was plainly a huckster at best. I guess there are always going to be vulnerable and gullible people out there.
What does for mean? What does a mean? What does guy mean? What does who mean? What does hates mean? What does postmodernism mean? What does so mean? What does much mean? What does Jordan mean? Oh wait that's me, but what am I? [goes on to stare at the ceiling and cry for 5 minutes]
I mean. The way he talked to that student was so telling. The young man was so polite and open for a different viewpoint, saying stuff like "of course" and acknowledging the points where he is on level with the prof. The answer? A very weird repetitive "No! Not of course!" as if he was talking to a bad puppy. What a tool. Not open to discussion or even a normal talk.
It is telling. I know when I was younger and wanted to talk the “big things” like politics and religion with people, they’d scoff and say things like “you’re young, wait until you’re mature” or some other nonsense. And it was so miserable, wanting to actually discuss things, maybe change minds, maybe come to a consensus… and to be talked down to. To be patronized in such an obvious and ridiculous way. I had the best discussion (about abortion) with a guy my own age who was very set in his opinion & me in mine, but we were very polite with each other and recognized each other’s valid points. It was a thought provoking conversation, one that I think about from time to time, just because it was one of the first times that I, as a young 20s, was not dismissed out of hand for no other reason than my age (or my opposing opinions).
@@tabathaalshalhoub1653 The funny thing about that is that traditionally young people are way more passionate about ideological debates, and their views are less tainted by endless nihilism caused by a long difficult life. In other words, maturity does not equal more insight, if anything the opposite is true in my experience. Old people are typically way more jaded and much less open-minded, which is not surprising or even a controversial take, that's just how people are.
@@eugenefullstack7613 I will have to add that I’ve always hated that song “I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger” but there are some things I’ve learned as I have gotten older. But it hasn’t made me talk condescendingly to younger people. I even teach 5 year olds and I treat their questions with respect, even if it gets us off topic (because the focus should be about learning, being excited to learn, how to answer questions, etc and not “we have to do these pages today”).
Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are the perfect examples of a debater who doesn't know how to debate. It's the simple process of adopting the aesthetics of a skilled debater, but not following through with the necessary steps. You see this in Ted Cruz as well.
That's the problem, though. The aesthetics is all you need. If you can convince your audience that you're a big brain alpha, if you can build a *seemingly* more rational case, it doesn't matter if you're correct. Unfortunately this is true in certain segments of the left as well. It is the nature of Internet Politics(tm), which is to politics what sci-fi is to science. It is politics as entertainment and a drug. But if you go look at the comment sections of any atheist-theist debate, you'll find each side declaring their guy the winner in equal numbers. Debates were never about finding interesting arguments and, but about the spectacle when our favorite brainy bois beat their opposition into a pulp with their cerebral prowess.
It's odd how those scientists that predicted the temperature rise, sea level rise, and all those other things they've BEEN EXACTLY RIGHT ABOUT, have so much "error" in their data. Those predictions were made 50+ year ago. With advances in both technology and our understanding of "eVeRyThInG" we pretty well know what is happening and going to happen.
@@andrejaeckle9828 they downplayed the massive increase in emissions in the last 20 years, which caused an accelerated heating compared to their predictions.
I can't believe when he said "it's not like the bible was put together by a committee...." that you didn't bring up, that is EXACTLY what happened. The stories were compiled by a group of men. And they left out stories that didn't align with their ethos.I can't believe how easy I found the time to get this short recap into my day.
It’s almost like they heard about the Council of Nicaea but then thought nah, that couldn’t have happened. But that’s exactly how the first version of the New Testament was formed.
Not only that, we also have well documented instances of alterations and additions after the fact within the bible. Not only in the original where stories have been added to Peter and Paul for example, which we could find out becuse it was documented that scripts had been added to Peter and Paul in the Council in Trent. They put scripture into Peter and Paul because they didn’t fully know where those parts came from but decided that they would work best within that setting and put them in. ___ If you want read a more detailed decription on how we today udnerstand that they did not fit, if not skip to the next __ 1. In Ephesians, 40 words have been used which previously have not been used in the works and mark a very strong language and style shift, which is a strong indicator that it was a different author. Paul previously talked much more about how Jesus was acting on god’s behalf, Ephesians however puts Jesus on an more autonomous path, which directly contradicts Pauls previous writings, again idicateing a different author. 2. Colossians is also understood to be not an original work and added in the 2nd century. Mainly because it is targeted at Gnosticism and refuteing the idea. However Gnosticism was not realy understood to be heresy untill the 2nd century - putting the work roughly 50-80 years after Paul. Again language used is much different and it is hypothosised that it was a student of Paul trying to carry on Paul’s legacy. 3. 1. Peter and 2. Peter face similar problems. With 1. Peter showing it beeing written by someone who had formal education in greek and philosophy - something highly doubtfull for a supposed galilean fisherman. Much more damning is that 1. Peter references the Septuagint translation, something which would not have been aviable during the supposed writing of the letters. 2. Peter has similar issues, the first is that the identifyer used for Peter uses a different spelling for Peter - which is weird if you identify yourself you’d know how to spell your name. Again like Colossians it makes references to the 2nd century idea of gnosticism and references the book of Jude, again which doesn’t fit the timeline oft he rest oft he works. ________ Carry on here. This means not even the original texts which later were decided upon during the Council of Rome in 382 under Damasus, and the last confirmation oft he bible (not it’s translations) was in 1546. To now know that the bible was not dropped down onto earth (like Muslims claim for the Quran) is absurdly naive for someone who claims to understand the devine idea of a deity and referenceing the judeo-christian values as much as Peterson does. Something I, as a german, find disgusting. As a long lasteing christian value and tradition is to surpress the jewish faith as „outdated“ and „not haveing accepted the messiah“. Somthing which was burried after the 2nd world war, but brought up again by Pope Benedict (a german for all that is ironic) to include praying again for the „deluded jew“ during easter mass with the words „„Oremus et pro Iudaeis. Ut Deus et Dominus noster illuminet corda eorum, ut agnoscant Iesum Christum salvatorem omnium hominum.“ (translated to May god enlighten the jews to accept Jesus Christ as their saviour). Something popes previously had dropped from the easter mass and used a much more inclusive version saying „let us also pray for the jews to whom our god spoke firstly, whom he protected in covenant“
Yes, I fully expected them to jump on that and was disappointed when they didn't. Like, you just described exactly how the Bible was put together and then claimed it wasn't. "It's not like America was originally a collection of British colonies until they got fed up with certain British policies and decided to declare their independence and fought a war to become a new country."
@@sarahbarrett1247the Council of Nicea didn't in any shape or form decide the canon of the Bible. That's a 18th century myth that for some obscure reason keeps popping up. The actual process can also not be accurately described as "by committee". It was more a running debate of a couple of centuries that resulted in a list that was only then canonized instead of the other way around
sometimes they kill for sick entertainment and in a weirdly bored, absentminded manner. Like literally placing their paw on a bug but not fully crushing it then looking to the side and closing their eyes for some reason.
The story of the farmer and the chicken is about how expecting the status quo to continue unabated can leave you fatally helpless when circumstances change, which is why we should do nothing about climate change.
@@duane6386 no, it's clear from the story that we need to do nothing about climate change. Maybe another story will help you: Cassandra saw in a dream that a great disaster was coming and begged the people of their town to prepare. Almost no one believed her, and those that did felt they were too busy to prepare and that they would just hope that things would work out somehow. Then the disaster came and everyone died. I hope that helps
Peterson exemplifying his rule about precision of language again by deliberately confusing the definitions of "climate", "environment", and "universe". Absolutely brilliant. *headdesks repeatedly*
I listened to an interview with him and besides being super pissed at him for intentionally misgendering and deadnaming Elliot Page repeatedly, it struck me he was being super pedantic to the point of ignorance. Like pretending not to know how people commonly use terms and phrases. Just like the opening clips in this video. He seems super disingenuous
It's funny that he'll be talking about being scientific in our definitions and respecting the real meanings of words one minute and saying that words have no meaning and science is overrated the minute the topic changes from gender to climate. Like most other Americans, he only believes in science insofar as it is convenient to his ideology.
The funny thing about the Monopoly example is that Monopoly was created by a socialist to demonstrate the problems of unregulated capitalism. There used to be a second round of the game where the rules introduced progressive taxation, to show the importance of wealth redistribution. It creates winners and losers on purpose, it's not just a random thing that happens to be in the game, it's literally the entire point of the game. The game was created to fight hierarchies.
And then the woman who created it was fucked over by capitalists and saw basically no money from creating one of (if not *the*) most successful board games on the planet.
@@martiendejong8857 No idea, I'm not sure any copies of the original game exist. It was called The Landlord's Game, if you want to look for the original rules.
She was a Georgist. Georgism has nothing to do with socialism. Unless you take the stance of the libertarians and believe that taxes are theft and taxation means socialism.
@@henglish3398 Except that Jordan Peterson doesn't need a "complex issue" for him to do this sort of stuff. Regardless of how simple the question is, he'll just battle you on the semantics and point out that it would be possible to use bad definitions for some words and how those definitions aren't very useful and therefore the question can't really be answered. There is a large number of examples of this cited in Alex O'Connor's video on JP's views on religion, like when he's asked "do you think the events of the Bible really happened", that would normally be a simple "yes", "no" or "I'm uncertain", but instead he starts to go all stoner about what reality really is and what it means to "happen". Though I can't entirely blame him, because one part of this would be that giving a simple answer seems boring, so he might just be going through different interpretations to make the answer give more insight, but that shouldn't be used as an excuse to not actually give an answer.
Yes, it's very hard for so many people to listen to real meaningful content isn't it? Poor lost souls who couldn't care about the truth much less allow themselves to consider the human condition to the point that they may find themselves responsible for the advancement of society.
He would be an attorney's worst nightmare on the stand. Attorney: So you say you were home on the night of July 16, is that correct? Peterson: Well define night, and what is home? Attorney:🤦
Peterson is a caricature of conservatism. He is all about why people should never change anything. Pretty much everything he does is grasp at every possible reason why change is scary. And sometimes change is scary, so he resonates with fearful people.
That was me, I was one of those "fearful people". That's really all it was. The *potential* for unpleasant change worried me and change in general is hard for me to deal with, so I gravitated toward Peterson's claims regarding being forced to use certain pronouns. I didn't like the idea of compelled speech in any sense. As it turns out, if I had actually looked into his views a bit more or and done *any* research into his claims, I would have realized much sooner what he really was. Instead, I just kind of stopped watching him on my own, and only much later found out that not only were his claims false, but he was using that momentum to spread some pretty dangerous views.
@@ThePurbleKing that seems to be a general trend. I've met a lot of otherwise reasonable people who start liking Jordan Peterson for his very surface level stuff, then she appeals to their anxiety of change to draw them in deeper.
I will tack on he represents neo liberalism because it uses faux-rationalism for why we cannot directly confront an issue. It's a long winded incremental argument about why we as present humans can't do anything presently drawing on either maintaining traditional forms or well it's too complicated to confront. Two sides of the do nothing coin
@@ince55ant That’s ‘cause he’s actually very good at this specific thing. He can help people. If only he could stfu about big political topics sometimes, jeez.
@@guyincognito5663 He can help conservative young straight men who feels disenfranchised by a world that is moving further and further away from traditional masculinity as the staple identity at the top of the hierarchy. His rules for life isn't really a unique contribution to the self-help scene, it's just stay organized and be disciplined, but because he mirrors something these men either had in their upbringing and now feel is missing(stability in who you are and that being unquestionable), or they've never had it and always struggled with self-confidence he provides that angle. It's a small, inoffensive branch of his overarching conservative and socially regressive philosophy but as we've seen it easily acts as a gateway to the rest of his reactionary and anti-progressive ramblings. He's essentially offering a cop-out solution for young men questioning themselves, their self-worth, and their identity that just doesn't exist for any other group, whereas a woman who feels marginalized, or a queer person, or a black person will have to navigate a world and discover their own self-worth in spite of a world that doesn't think they should have any. He's basically telling these young men who have the exact same path in front of them that everyone else is wrong for telling them that they would also have to put in the same work as everyone else. Basically, we're in a crisis of masculine identity today, and instead of forging ahead towards something better for everyone JP is saying "F***, go back!".
There are two kinds of people who become therapists. Those who wants to help others, and those who *really* need help themselves. I… do believe JBP falls solidly into the second category…
As a bio graduate, I'd just like to say: 1) Being older than trees isn't an achievement or a measure of importance, there are various marine organisms that predate trees and lobsters 2) Peterson knows why marine life predates land organisms, right? It's not like life required water to begin and lobsters so happened to diverge from other marine organisms or that once plant life moved to land, they had an enormous uphill battle to evolve traits that allowed them to live on land 3) As Cody mentioned (and from my ecology class), Peterson is obsessed with one type of hierarchy when in reality hierarchies can be organized into various other configurations 4) Human hierarchies are social constructs, not biological 5) The human brain relies on various neurotransmitters; serotonin is just one and it isn't "the most important" 6) Peterson has never mentioned Rosalind Franklin when he's peddling his pseudoscientific ahistorical telling of the discovery of the DNA structure, any self-respecting scientist knows her contribution to the discovery considering her data was stolen by a colleague of Watson and Crick 7) PZ Myers said this so I'll just put it here, Peterson used the opposite of the scientific method, he began with his conclusion, found an animal with traits he liked (lobster) and then formulated his hypothesis 8) After rewatching the video again, I'd just like to add one more thing, Peterson's understanding and solution to climate change is laughable. "Make the poor rich and make the cost of energy cheaper", I agree that we should help people out of poverty. The part that makes no sense is how making energy cheaper will change the processes that create the harmful byproducts we get from harboring energy. He's also ignoring that other factors that contribute to climate change. It's concerning that people hold the opinion of a social scientist turned fossil fuel propagandist in higher regard than the people actually working in the field. EDIT: Some spelling and formatting, I also added point 8
I think we are over emphasizing lobsters and then the apparent use of lobsters to justify a hierarchy. I think there's baggage with the word hierarchy that causes confusion. It is not a worthiness / power / ruling hierarchy, it is about competence - and there are multiple hierarchies, and hierarchies of hierarchies. He isn't justifying social darwinism here. As for 1) Being older than trees simply means that a system evolved in organisms, and it has survived so far long, that it must be robust and hence has value to the species, or multiple species in which the system operates. 4) This betrays the baggage with hierarchies - he is talking about the emergence of competence hierarchies. Social hierarchies are a different matter. As I said, there is no one hierarchy, but multiple ones. Even if people at the bottom of the social hierarchy come together and engage in social play, they will end up organizing themselves into a competence hierarchy - that is to say, different people will gain different levels of importance from their fellow mates - and there's absolutely ways of going up and down hierarchies, within one person's control. This also answers (3). Peterson has issues with climate change and his other increasingly right leaning stances, but I have rarely come across anyone who gets their criticism of hierarchies right.
1-2. Wasn't his point that we show direct lineage to lobsters and the role of serotonin seems to show up in land animals as well? 3. I don't really see the obsession with one type of hierarchy. He for example talks about family hierarchies vs. artificial groups and flaws of monarchy. 4. source? 5. He never said that wasn't the case, he pointed out the direct link between serotonin and group status 6. He never mentioned Crick and Watson either and why would he, it's not a history class 7. well granted he does make facts fit his conclusion and I don't like it either. I'll give you that one, he's a cherry picker
@@austintyler7901 Thank you, that's a good point regarding the politics here. More importantly, the kind of hierarchies that Peterson talks about are not the kind that left leaning individuals think he is justifying. These hierarchies can and do emerge when a group of children come together to play, people of the same socio economic status engage in extended social interactions, people engaging in any endeavor. It has to do with competence, responsibility and reward - not power, which is what many on the left associate hierarchies with. More importantly, there is not one hierarchy, and they are mobile. The video also misses out on his conversation about chimps, where tyrannical chimps can be eliminated out of competition by cooperating chimps - which points out that competence hierarchies do not tolerate power or domination.

Know next to nothing about Canada but just a wiki blurb about Grande Prairie at the time tells one enough about his climate science perception: "The town of Grande Prairie was incorporated as a city in 1958. At that time, its population was approximately 7,600. The opening of the Procter & Gamble kraft pulp mill in 1972 and the discovery of the Elmworth deep basin gas field spurred an economic boom. Grande Prairie's population went from just over 12,000 in the early 1970s to over 24,000 by the time the oil boom went bust in 1981." JP got there in 1979.
One should also perhaps mention that Fairview where he went to school CURRENTLY is a town of 2500, the same as it was in c.1970. Some towns in Greenland I visited have more people than that and in terms of things to do you could get on a boat to do some fishing or get gazeboed on the regular with rye vodka. Ever seen There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis? JP may as well be the preacher kid
@@AdobadoFantastico The simple answer is Alberta is kind of like the Canadian version of Texas. Not confederate really though, because we all got that great Canadian public education, we know Canada had the Underground Railroad ect...so our convoy members and free thinkers have gone for modern xenophobia and general racism like White Replacement theory like flies to sugar. In my rural high school musical we removed the gay characters from A Chorus line. That was in the 2000s. Albertan conservatives and libertarians have gotten terrible since Covid. Some of the people I went to high school with are starting to say the universal healthcare system is communism and its just dangerous because the Conservative party will happily push a private system if given power. Alberta is an oil and gas rich province, and a lot of young guys in my hometown ended up as riggers and then truck drivers. Now they:re out of work and on Covid or unemployment payments half the year. It:s that kind of place.
As an actual PhD student in neuroscience, the moment someone claims there's a "most fundamental neurotransmitter", you've demonstrated your neuroscience knowledge is completely and fundamentally incorrect lmao JP lobster mobsters are funny
also replying to help more people see this. I love it when people actually know neuroscience. I'm not at all a professional or taking classes but I love the biology and it makes me so giddy to see people talking about it realistically :DDD (also unlike JP I don't ever claim to know what I'm talking about beyond having read studies/data on it, lol. I am far from someone you should take the word of, I just wanna spread more correct information and will always actively request people to correct me if I'm false about something, preferably with a source I can look into so I can fool around in my science nerd zone again lmao.)
I’ve watched about 30 videos of JP over the years. Apart from being a climate change denier and a gold medalist in word saladry, I’ve heard him say - “Contraception will be the downfall of the west”, “women who decide not to have children are destined to remain forever unhappy”, “women were much happier in the 1950’s”, “ incels wouldn’t be around if we had socially enforced monogamy”, “the male is order, the female is chaos”, “the male is the divine individual, the female is the divine mother and child”.”men and women working together is problematic” What an outdated view of humanity he has, especially of women. What a simplified view of the 8 billion of us , dividing humanity into two. We are all individuals and although there are biological differences and some traits that are different, we all have individual values, priorities and ways of seeing the world. There is a huge overlap in these things.
he's also said that rape needs to be reverted back into a property crime against the woman's husband because, according to him, that's the only way to get men to care about rape. He also claimed that every single adult woman who he had as a client with "mental problems" was because she had a job and wasn't just having children when she was 19
I want to make a small note of Peterson's ramble around 57 minutes in about private school vs public school - as a Norwegian, this idea that its a divine or natural law that dictates (richer) people who go to private school are smarter than people who go to public school is very funny to me, because here, it's generally "accepted" that the big well-funded public universities and colleges are what you attend if you're smart enough to get through their selection programmes, whereas private school is something you buy your way into if you're rich but not good enough to get into the top public schools. Because public school is well-funded, we don't have that gap where all our politicians and business leaders went to private school (pretty much everyone here goes to public school, wealthy or poor, and school quality isn't based on your damn zip code), nor do we have the "joke" that public school is a bad education. Btw, I'm not even saying that its true that public university / high school attendees are smarter than those at private schools here, I'm just saying that as a point of showing how material conditions play into things like grades and success.
A major problem in the US is the trust conservatives put into what others tell them. If they looked at examples in the world, many of their world views would shatter. 😮💨 Asking them about hypothetical examples (or real ones, like yours) is like asking them to imagine society without gravity. :/

I'm not a psychologist, although I work with them, but even with my degree in English language and rhetoric I can see how he is using his training to tell a segment of the population what they want to hear in order to achieve fame and fortune. He's sucking the money nozzle. This is a shocking, nauseating misuse of scholarly acumen. Perhaps he is so tormented because he is aware of what he has become.
I'm not a psychologist either but I would say you are probably telling some truth their. In my amateur psychologist oppinion, Jordan is all about Jordan. He is charismatic, loves to talk and is hooked on people believeing him to be some sort of sage or prophet. He does undoubtedly help some people and is undoubtedly extremely intelligent and is probably right more than he is wrong. I don't want to beat up on him too much here as at first watch and only half an hour in I think this is probably a far left leaning platform. And the left do love to hate but in defence and love of certain minorities of course.
That specific one with the fellow calling in almost sounded like there was no call and he was just 'talking' to himself. Of course that could just be because the caller reminded him of himself.
The woman who created Monopoly actually created 2 games meant to go together - the Landlord's Game and Prosperity. The Landlord's Game was meant to show the inevitable results of the land-grabbing system that existed (one person accumulates wealth and everyone else goes bankrupt) while Prosperity required players to work together and improve everyone's standing. Prosperity played correctly was a game that didn't end demonstrating the sustainability of that economic system.
Prosperity sounds lame, everyone cooperating so every player can have fun and where everyone wins or loses together, based on how well the cooperate… lame.
As soon as he said, "I found out how to monetize social justice warriors." He lost any plausible deniability as a complacent and unknowing thinking man. Call him Shen Bapero.

He comes from the "I'm not racist, I just always seem to have something negative/passive aggressive to say every time I'm reminded that PoC exist" school of rational, balanced, unbiased thinking.
You know, Jordan Peterson is such a complex, nuanced topic, I assumed this video would have to be huge! I'm really impressed you managed to keep it to a such a terse, reasonable timeframe yet still do justice to such a controversial figure. Kudos!
I know the runtime is all people are commenting about, but you manage to talk about this dude for three hours and never really repeat yourself or waste time. The only segments in the entire video that weren't some combination of entertaining, informative, and worthwhile were the parts where Jordan Peterson is speaking.
Sometimes I wish I had more lead in my environment so I couldn't suppress the rage I feel when I hear him talk. But then again I would probably agree with him if that were true.
It's incredible how, if you say "climate change is real," he'll answer you with "Well what do you mean by 'climate?' And what do you mean by 'change?' And what do you mean by 'real?'" Essentially disallowing you from using any widely-accepted terms, and expecting you to come up with brand-new definitions for any word you want to use. And if he takes issue with something you say, and you begin a response with "okay," he'll interrupt you and fucking berate you about it because he doesn't think you're being precise enough. But of course, when asked about same-sex marriage, he talks about "the continued assault on traditional modes of being" without explaining what he means by "traditional modes of being," why a "traditional" mode of being is better than a non-traditional one, what he means by assault, or why he chose a word that evokes violence. He refuses to meet people where they are, choosing to talk about "cultural Marxists" and ignoring the fact that we're talking about rights. And, of course, his answer boils down to "no," he doesn't support marriage equality, since his spooky cultural Marxists will, of course, support marriage equality as they've been doing the entire time.
I know right! It’s like all these cultural Marxist haven’t been changing definitions of words on an almost weekly scale since the early 20th century….oh wait….
Peterson's inner monologue: You can never be precise enough for my high standards but when it's my turn, I'm going to overgeneralize to the point that I'm not actually saying anything, then claiming I'm correct but oppressed.
The guy is great at stringing what sounds like smart ideas and words around without actually saying much of anything a lot of the time, the start of this video highlights that fantastically, it is like a subjective word salad that seems meaningful but isn't at all. What actually fascinates me about this is that it is a symptom of the benzodiazepine haze where a person thinks they are having grandiose insights but they are actually in a somewhat delirious kind of spiritual/emotional state running off of weird energy (I know because I have been there). Note his personal crisis, rediscovery of religion and those rantings of late weaving it all into world events.
@@petecabrina it's painful to watch and I really feel for him personally, despite horror at the effects of his influence over others. There's the obvious signs not just of benzo overuse, but also the suffering that leads people to overuse benzos or any other pharmaceutical cope in the first place. I wonder if recognition of that shared pain is part of what attracts people to him. It's encouraging that less fashy commenters are doing what they can to provide alternative solutions to the problem of suffering, because it is so urgent.
I know he has an insanely over-inflated ego, but Peterson genuinely staring into middle distance for 15 seconds to ponder if he might be a religious prophet is on an entirely different level.
I hope you understand the fundamental complexity of this statement. I mean what do you mean by “care”? How would you define “feelings”? I am asking from the position of a qualified evolutionary biologist who focuses on the neuroscience of lobster mating cycles.
To be fair, that is a well-described norm among mental health clinicians present even in the mainstream literature. Little Pete's attitude is not surprising.
Do you think that phycologists are there to comfort your feelings? No, they are there to change your life to a better course, pandering is not included(very sad, ii know you like it) there is what jordan implied there...
The Peterson Pattern actually reminds me of a great lesson in critical thinking I had some years back. We were reading Platos Republic and our class created a thing where we defended Thrasymachus because we were so amazed that his description of how society works was still applicable today. Our teacher told us "It's true that he provides an analysis of *what* and *why* things are, but ask yourself *does he explain why is it OK that things are what they are*"
Good approach! I also like the approach that the very thing that makes us human is that we do NOT accept the world as it naturally is. Humans started being humans when they started changing the world around themselves. Using fire and tools, healing diseases with medicine, building machines to do the work for us... Why should we not try to change the "natural necessity" of hierarchies if we don't like them? We've changed everything else already!
Which is a weird flex, because in Plato's version rulers purposefully lie to the masses so they would submit to a hierarchy as far as we can tell is completely arbitrary. He would have them to believe people to be born with golden silver or bronze in their souls. Just as Peterson is doing here.
@@lookbovine Yeah, but that's why Plato is a genius. He was the first to identify LANGUAGE (and the semiotics of language) as the fundamental barrier to truth and understanding. His work was one of the first deconstructions of recursiveness in language and it took 1000 years - really until Ludwig Wittgenstein - for us to realize this. So you get Plato's Forms which exist outside the conscious, or rather cognitive, purview of language but still exist as real, unchanging virtues we should aspire towards. And there are entire schools of thought on what it means to be "just" from Utilitarianism (of Mills and Bentham), to Kantian deontology to Rawls work on justice. It's like asking what being "free" means. Isiah Berlin makes the distinction between positive freedom (freedom to do something) and negative freedom (the freedom from something). Which "freedom" is more "free?" This is why we need to teach ETHICS. Right and Wrong are not easy subjects to reason about and philosophy has, correctly, spend an inordinate times fleshing out this question. Aristotle's theory of means is a decent starting point (albeit with deep flaws when you try to extrapolate the idea to society writ large in the form of laws, so even Aristotle has limits).
@@killianclendenen2216I hope you realize it has nothing to do with principles and all to do with the fact he doesn’t want to admit he was wrong. He’s too prideful to do so which is why he won’t take it down.
@@killianclendenen2216 There is a scarier difference that you don't understand, the difference between a know-it-all delusional narcissistic abuser and a conscientious human being. Guess which one JP is.
I thought that everything that could be said about Borden P. Jeterson from a leftist perspective has already been said, but this video presented even more info about his crazy claims and arranged it all in a consistent string. Nice work!
"The decision of an actress/actor named Ellen/Eliot Page. I'm employing this awkward, impossible naming style..." Literally no one is requesting to be addressed by their dead name and their chosen name every time you talk to or about them. That's almost like the exact opposite of what you are being asked to do!
I'm an hour and 15 minutes in and while I AM going to finish this video, this is about 2 hours and 50 minutes of Jordan Peterson more than I normally tolerate.
Any time spent watching Jordan Peterson is time you'll never get back. Cody needs to produce a shorter version where all the dang Jordan Peterson is edited out.
Actually, the five minute Peterson clips are often pretty interesting. They are just some psychological take on some person from history or their motivations. When he goes on for more than five minutes, on the other hand, they end up being two hours of gibberish.
I just realized, on my 10th viewing, that Peterson says, "the US military has been at the front of intelligence research" and inteprets that as researching how smart people are. But intelligence research is figuring out how best to spy on people.... he just said a true fact and then blatently misinterpretted the definition to make his claim sound credible! No one will ever read this, but that just blew my mind, I cant believe i never caught that before....😂
I notice him doing this stuff several times and its impossible to know if he's doing it on purpose or he is just actually stupid. I'm betting that he is just being blatantly dishonest everytime he opens his mouth. This type of person has zero passion for the truth. he either misleads people on purpose or he was too lazy to actually learn. He is a cockroach...
I like to underline this knowledge: *there are people who idolize a dude who talks so much actual bullcrap that Joe goddamn Rogan went "yeah, can you do all that again but now with an actual answer somewhere inbetween?"*
1:20 I love the idea of a doctor criticizing climate models for only including some variables and not "everything." Your blood pressure and heart rate aren't "everything" about you, but most doctors seem pretty interesting in using those to judge your health. It's almost like that's the entire point of a scientific model, to focus in on the key drivers of climate or health.
Let's all sit here and appreciate the fact that _JOE ROGAN_ is sitting here slowing himself down to explain climate change to Jordan Peterson, as if he was five years old
No, you see, Joe just didn't get what Jordan was saying. What Jordan was saying is that words don't mean anything and therefore we should not even be trying to discuss any potential "problems" to find "solutions". Everything means anything and that means nothing. At least he gets being a Nihilist right, since he seems to be misinterpreting pretty much everything else he talks about.
Ehh... "I would defend to the death the right of some idiot to say stupid wrong shit" is an underlying cornerstone of free society. Why should we scorn that he is willing to die for his own right to say stupid wrong shit?
@@ishner true. It’s just the hypocrisy of him attacking others for things he constantly does that makes it so hard to ignore. It’s not so much his theories or beliefs as his vehement denial they aren’t theories/ beliefs, but undeniable facts. It’s his claims of; “That’s just a non-starter. You’re WRONG!” That gets under my skin. I hope that made sense.
Hmm, yeah. Any guy that has that kind of super solid tone while hammering truths tend to make me think "ouuh, I really want to listen to that guy! He looks like he's the one who's right!" Which fortunately activates my spider sense, nowadays, screaming "guru alert! Guru alert! Pinch of salt!" Beware of anyone you FEEL is right.
These 'gurus' know that most people won't dig deep into what they are saying and that they just need to always pretend to know what they are doing, if they ever admit they are wrong, they risk losing their loyal followers.
I'm a psychologist and I KNOW that many of the claims that JP makes about our field have been either overstated or outright wrong (e.g., military IQ exclusion), and I've dreamed of making a video showing how factually wrong JP actually is. Then this. Really awesome work, and thank you!
@@jasonbolding3481 Jungian psychology and his theory of personality types is 100 years old. The field has progressed a little since then (although we still generally describe ourselves as a 'soft science' given our continued reliance on inferential models).
Jordan: "So there's these lobsters..." Me: "M-hm." Jordan: "And sometimes they fight." Me: "I've seen." Jordan: "And the loser lobster gets all sad and deflated." Me: "Aww, poor guy." Jordan: "Sometimes humans get sad and deflated too. When that happens, you can give them serotonin, and they'll get poofy and happy again." Me: "I am one such human." Jordan (lies): "Turns out if you give the loser lobster serotonin, they will also get all poofy and happy." Me: "Hey-hey! That's neat! What a fun little quirk-" Jordan: "And that is why we MUST HAVE *Rigid Hierarchies!!"* Me: "..." Me: "And so you say, you _don't_ use drugs anymore?"
There's actually recent research that found that depression is not caused by a lack of serotonin. So even the idea that we get happy if we take serotonin is wrong.
He's so selective about what requires detail. If he has to play defense then it becomes infinitely -pedantic- nuanced. Whenever he's on offense then we can take astronomical leaps, gloss over everything, muddle things together, and only critique things by either simplifying them to the point of being infantile or by waffling about it until everything means nothing.
Exactly, if he doesn't like something he can shout "woke", "virtue signalling" or "neo marxist" ( or even "fascist") and his army of transphobic 8Chan bigots cheer and say " the left can't meme "
Above all else Peterson seems to fancy himself a master of debate. I knew someone who, as an edgy know-it-all teen and young adult, argued in the exact same way. Instead of countering points based on the facts presented, he instead resorted to a lot of pedantic hole-poking, verbal run-around, and deconstruction of the presentation of his opponent’s arguments. The idea was to delegitimize the points his opponent made by making it seem like his opponent was unprepared or an imbecile, which protected him from having to defend his actual opinion. The person I knew was VERY proud of the fact that he was in “Model UN” in high school and that he was evidently never defeated in debate because of his use of that specific style.
What a short and concise video! I watched it in the statistically proven best way to retain data of watching 20% of the video while focused and in complete order. Then the rest of the 80% of the video I watched in complete chaos while eating a lobster.
@@utg8suitedaa701 well it's complicated.. what is chaos, what is eating, what are lobsters? What do we know, what don't we know, what will we know? These things mean so much that they actually don't mean anything, but why do men lay bricks? It's the natural law of hierarchy!
@@bballforever100 Well, there is certainly a natural order of animals, a hierarchy so to speak. In this order lobsters, which are certainly animals, have a consciousness that is assuredly comparable to human hierarchies. In that matter, the lobster has significantly more chances to be eaten by a superior being, the human, than the inverse. So I think that while lobsters are an admirable animal, it is the responsibility of our society to analyze the inevitability of this hierarchy, a hierarchy that is to be overturned if we follow the tenets of Cultural Marxism. In conclusion, I would say that lobsters are definitely animals and humans are objectively higher in the natural hierarchy. I hope this answered all your questions.
You should eat the lobster that beats all the others to crawl out of the tank, because he has succeeded and some cultures say devouring the strong confers their strength upon you.
The gay marriage thing makes me think of when my mom and dad got married. It was over 50 years ago. They were both dirt poor, had virtually nothing, got married in their tiny apartment on a weekday. The pastor they hired told them they already had a mark against them since they had been living together "in sin" for several months. Dad's mother dragged him into the bedroom and told him not to marry mom because mom was Catholic (not Baptist like dad's family), had many siblings, and she'd want him to help them with money or whatever (he had no money). They ignored all those people, got married, and went back to work the next day. All those people naysaying with nonsense are long dead now, with long trails of dysfunction and divorce and drug/alcohol problems, and mom and dad are still married and stable.
Jordan Peterson doesn't just dance around every question, he spouts out a nonsensical word salad almost every time as an answer. I'm impressed that this guy can even draw substance from anything Peterson ever says.
What's funny about the monopoly bit is that there is a super famous psych study that's taught in psych classes all the time where they got a bunch of people to play monopoly and intentionally rigged the game so one of the participants in each group was randomly selected to have absurd advantages like starting out with twice as much money, getting to roll 2 dice while the other person rolls one, and collects twice as much money when they pass go. The study showed how the selected person may typically start out sheepish and try to be fair they eventually became way more aggressive and started to act like they totally deserved the win. You'd think a professor in Psychology would know about this and how it goes against a lot of his points but oh well
If I had a bunch of absurd advantages in Monopoly, you're goddamn right I'd be going for the throat. I'd look like an absolute buffoon, losing a rigged game like that lol
He does. He talked about that, (and usually a tangential about the Pareto distribution), but more often the Milgram experiments. Which is similar, but worse in regards to the typical reluctance, but breakdown and willingness of people that tended to be far more often than first expected. And in this case we're talking about to the point of theoretically killing someone ffs.
@@firedrake110 I think this is why people get so defensive about shit like white privilege. They feel like they were supposed to get two dice but they don't feel like they did but people keep saying white people get to roll two dice, so they feel like they should be winning when they're not. The reality being that (in this metaphor), some people get stopped every time they go past the "go to jail" square, and most of the properties are already owned by like 6 billionaires.
Important addition about the Monopoly rigging experiment: in post game interviews, when the advantaged player won, they were more likely to say it was because of their skill, whereas if the disadvantaged player won they were more likely to attribute it to luck. Huge implications for how we understand inequality (and the people who deny its a problem).
One thing I really respect about this show is how they're able to take complex, often intentionally obfuscating topics and cover them in an extremely short video. Also, thanks for reminding me not to look at the runtime, it definitely made the video seem longer than the shockingly short runtime.
I too was very impressed at the comprehensive response to a complex situation, in such an incredibly brief video. I also very much appreciated the reminders to not look at the timecode, laughed every time.
@@LexYeen I wrote a primer to what's bad about JP 3 years ago, and just reading the links could easily take someone 20 hours. Seriously, this video is indeed a short debunking.
@@LexYeen that’s what’s so frustrating. He can spew this shit so quickly and spread it to so many people. A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts its pants on.
@@collinweeks6322 The entire point of this brief video is to provide context lol If people wanted to watch Peterson’s raw lectures and interviews they can do that, too. The second point of this brief video is that Peterson’s rhetoric is just the right recipe to grab those who subscribe to Truthiness
@@gridlock489 it failed, this dude cant even grasp how clinical psychology and neuroscience relate to each other. i took sculpture in college , i studied psychology, anthropology and sociology during that course. in a fine arts college! am i assuming jp did the same when it comes to neuroscience in a clinical psychology course? no! am i certain that the intelligent approach when making a video about him is to embrace that possibility, specially since CP AND NS are so intimately correlated? yes! did this guy do that? or did just took the face value chance to hammer down like a clown? exactly! great providing of context! for childish dummies. i watched 10 mins, i laughed, now im outa here! hf with the circle jerk.
I think Jordan Peterson believes that he is so intelligent that he can briefly think about a subject and understand it better than all of the people who study that same subject as their lifelong profession, working with others who also share that lifelong profession.
@@sycoutuber92 I disagree. You're completely leaving out his further points on hierarchy, mainly that there are other types of hierarchy found in nature than the one very specific type JP wants to talk about and that the complex, human-made hierarchies JP tries to equate to natural hierarchies are not, in fact, natural. Talking about the common ancestor of a worm and lobster aggression was to highlight how JP uses false science to back up his opinions and present them as fact, which immediately calls into question the validity of the opinion.
As someone who listened to Joe Rogan a ton and listened to Peterson a ton, I really really appreciate this! I have always been someone who assumes positive intent, and I am easily swayed if I am being completely honest with myself. As I age (33) I find I am gaining a deeper understanding of what I actually believe etc, and honestly things like this are so critical to me. Overall I just really appreciate the truly insane amount of work that had to go into this, and literally every video you all do. Thank you all, for all you do, because it is truly impressive and instructive!
I listened to a few Joe Rogan podcasts. When he had on a guest I thought I would like. But then I started to see that he doesn't push back nearly enough against trash like Peterson. It's not his fault; he doesn't have the tools.
@@Admiralmeriweather Joe Rogan has a ton of money now and can afford a staff to work on the subjects that his guests will be speaking about. So no he could use tools but he chooses not to.
@@Admiralmeriweather I think he's actually getting better on this point. I'm not sure if it's mentioned on this vid (I'm only an hour in so far) but during the recent 'climate' podcast JP started going off on a tangent about how 600mil children a year die from bad air quality caused by cooking on indoor fires. Joe immediately live fact checked this and found out that it was 600mil children 'had their health affected by' not 'died from' it. Jordan just dropped the topic like a stone and moved on. It was hilarious...
This has been one of the most refreshing videos ive seen in a long LONG time. Im incredibly impressed with the quality of intelligence in actually this whole channel if im honest. I recommend this channel to everyone now. Its so rare to find actually intelligent people who are also willing to put in the time it takes to cover these subjects properly. I would love to have that kind of patience. unfortunately this world has blackpilled me since i was a child and i hardly care to help anymore. but the clarity this kind of actually intelligent content brings to the DESPERATELY in need internet public... im in awe and actually inspired. Absolutely brilliant
As someone who initially thought Peterson was reasonable and then realised he's full of shit. Having such an extensive (albeit short) video on all of his wrongdoing is really enjoyable. Thank you for doing 80% of the work so I only have to do 20% of the thinking.
All you really need to know to realize that he is full of shit is that he got famous for telling kids to "clean their room" because personal responsibility and success starts with the basics. And then he became a benzo addict years later and had to go into an induced coma to recover from his addiction. Why didn't he just clean his room?
I had the exact same experience. I'm embarrassed now that I was ever impressed by him, and this short video mirrors very well my own perceptions of just how dangerous JP has become.
Man this Jordan Peterson clearly thinks he's better than everyone, what a dick. Boy it felt so good to laugh at someone saying how stupid he was for 3 hours. It's definitely healthier to criticise someone personally rather than tribal ideals.
That clip of him talking about climate science has been the bane of my existence since it came out. He's not wrong just about climate science, he's wrong about the very concept of scientific modelling. The question of where this man's expertise lies is entirely moot - assuming he was being earnest in that short clip, no one should consider this man a scientific expert, even when it comes to his own field of study.
Yeah the more he said about that the more he pissed me off. The man would have failed a statistics foundation course yet he's out there lambasting climate scientists like he's the expert and not them.
One of the most inarticulate and ignorant discussions of the pros and cons of modeling I’ve ever heard. And yet he sits there and speaks with perfect confidence that his empty blathering is highly significant.
Especially his field of study! He lies about stuff we learn in literally the first semester. Not to mention scientific methodology as a whole. Disgusting traitor to his profession
"Global warming" or the climate change scare is certifiably false and easily proven as such. Actual, unmanipulated data shows that the Earth's climate has always changed and every projection of human's footprint has been completely wrong. It's a total scam for money, control and votes.
I can't thank you enough for laying all this out. 3-4 years ago I needed to hear 'Clean your room', because that kind of thing really does help when you're depressed. But then I quickly found myself scratching my head how he could just generalize or down right lie about things, to fit his narrative. Any time Rogan or any interviewer pushes back or questions something he said, his responses are always a non-answer, and if that gets called out, he get's all 'meta' and passive aggressive. The frustration on his face in these moments is quite like a dog with food aggression.
same, sorta. got me hooked when i was going through a rough time and then at some point he posted something about cultural marxism. it looked off and conspiracy theory-y so i unsubbed and later found out it’s a literal nazi thing :/
I'm certainly glad Peterson didn't die from addiction, but it makes me wonder why he needed antidepressants in the first place. Shouldn't cleaning his room have helped? Peterson is a hack that sells generalized cures for over coming life's problems, without acknowledging that people have serious mental issues that no amount of cleaning can cure
@@Marc010 it’s so ironic that he could help people for real as a psychologist (if he gets one for himself first) but clearly he cares more about money and influence
As an ex-Petersonian, this is just to say to all his fans that are probably lurking here somewhere in the comments - there is no shame in reassesing your beliefs.
I’m a big fan of his older stuff, his newer stuff that’s coming out is less my style.
I like to think I’m pretty centralised on the political spectrum for most things, but I like his opinions on the Male-Issues of the world. I actually really appreciate this comment because I have been reassessing a lot of my beliefs I held.
Like he says. Sort his wheat from his chaff. There is a lot worth listening to and thinking about when he lectures within his field of competence, psychology and self-help. There are many simplistic summaries (clean your room, lobsters, etc) pedalled that do not adequately reflect the thought provoking core of his earlier lecture series, borne of his clinical practice, and he has participated openly in that with the drive to make his platform more ... "accessible". There are many trivial criticisms in this video that ironically are unnecessarily verbose and spend a Pareto-esque amount of time away from the powerful discussion points.
Unfortunately JP has devolved into the culture warrior that 5 years ago he protested he was not, and his output is filled with ever more subjectivity in what is not psychology but far more rigidly objective topic areas. His adaptation of definitions to be broad and subjective to support his conservative bent to find reasons to explain the world as it exists, from a self-identifying scientist who advocates precision in speech, is something he has always done to some extent but is increasingly overt and hypocritical. He is eroding his own credibility with this current hyperventilation about facism and deadnaming, switching from provocateur to expedient claim of victimhood. Ugh.
@@syklone_ thanks for the reply. I'm somewhat centrist-left now (social democrat) but I observed that my more left-leaning friends have really no patience or space for allowing other people to reflect and reach conclusions that they propose. I do believe that if you just derisively criticise somebody, somehow trying to shame your opponent into submission they are just going to rigidify themselves and double down.
I think one can acknowledge some of the real plights modern men are experiencing without discrediting real challenges that women experience. Just a thought.
Also, what led me further away from JP's stuff (besides stuff Cody mentions) was realization that all the interesting wheat I sifted out from JP's chaff was 99% consisting of Jung, Campbell and maybe Nietzsche. The rest of self-help I needed I found on therapy and the need for Peterson stuff just disappeared naturally.
This is a great comment for everyone to remember. Reassessing our beliefs is part of what makes us intellectually healthy, especially since we come across new information all the time. Thanks so much for this reminder.
Hey I'm a centrist/social democrat too, though I'm less leftist than my family. Always was a bit suspicious of him but in many of his early talks I ended up siding with him.
The way he gets so passionate and emotional in many of his lectures looks like mild mania to me, at state where everything you say can start sounding profound and you lose your inner critic.I think it almost looks like his mental state has deteriorated over the years, perhaps a combination of his illness and his no doubt streesful place in politics an twitter.
1:16:20 as an indigenous person I can tell you why "double helixes" are found in lots of art. BECAUSE WE BRAID THINGS. Hair, materials for weaving, and more.
So while cultural reasons exist and vary, braiding things together makes materials stronger.
Just another example of him taking his biased perspective of the world as fact.
No, you see, a long time ago the indigenous people actually got microscopes from the magic space monkeys and after they saw DNA strands they started braiding their hair like it, clearly he's right because he knows the dictionary definitions of words better than the rest of us
Though apparently he doesn't know the dictionary definition of "climate". Which is weird, because surely there are scientists at his university who could explain it to him.@@justalonelypoteto

Part 2 perhaps
No hierarchies did not start with our industry. Sure we were more egalitarian but looking at tribes living today all of them have some form of hierarchies. We see this also across the animal kingdom in all kinds of animals. Peterson doesn't argue for a strict hierarchie but just says that they are inevitable. And the more complex a society becomes the more you need a better hierarchie to organize the society. The Inkas and Mayas all had kings and hierarchies and you will find the same with every other culture that grows to a certain size. There is no way around it.
@@EbonyPope Yes, we must be like the Incas and Mayans, they have been consistently successful for Millennia and they have hierarchies. Just look at how they still succeed even today. How can we ignore their lessons. They are still amongst the strongest and most successful societies. Aren’t they? Checks notes….. oh.
@@daviebananas1735 And there is the one who has no comprehension skills. A desrciptive statement just says how things are/were not how they should be. Peterson never argued that there is no wiggleroom. He is fully aware that ancient cultures were more egalitarian but that wasn't his point. His point was that as soon as you have a society you create hierarchies. He elaborated on that saying that it would be better to call them competence hierarchies. You want a plumber? How you gonna call? Surely not the worst you clearly want someone who is capable. Bang. You created a hierarchie. Or preference if you prefer that word. Even the most egalitarian hunter gatherers had hierarchies. Or do you think the most inexperienced hunters were leading the hunt? It is well documented that even our ancestors had elders, head of families, town leaders or kings. None of what he said contradicts what Peterson said. He is only defeating the strawman he created.
😂😂😂😂
Love how he said you don't throw out Neitzsche because of the odd weird statement but then throws out the entire tradition of Marxism from a half-assed partial reading of the Manifesto.
Hey he almost read half of the manifesto one time, he's basically a "postmodern neomarxist" at that point!
the man read about it for 40 years and has his house filled with communist paintings. what you is doing is looking at a edited video and assuming thats that..
Probably because Neitzsche is the foundation of what the nazi ideology he preaches is based on
Screw Marxism.
The best description of Jordan Peterson I have ever heard is that he excels in talking in a way that less intelligent people think highly intelligent people talk.
@@blaynestaleyproYou’re exactly who this comment was directed towards - there is no evidence to support your claims or his.
I think intelligence is a part of it, but education is a larger factor. I would think a somewhat below average person given correct information could be competent to question such grifters assuming they haven't already been indoctrinated to accept this stuff. Similarly, I k ow someone I would say seems at least in a technical sense near genius. The pace at which he absorbs and applies technical information is insane. But he is uneducated other then self taught technical info and he has absorbed some of this shit.

@@ianstover How many Peterson lectures and interviews have you seen? Do you even understand what he is saying? What ideology? You're a brainwashed fool, Peterson's conclusions are based on facts. He's a clinical psychologist. Clinical. That's clinical data.
This is such a small things ,but as a neuroscientist I got real upset when he said serotonin was *the* most important chemical in the brain. It really isn't. If *any* neurotransmitter is used all over the brain, the closest we could come to that is glutamate or GABA. But really they're all vital and play their own roles. There is no hierarchy of neurotransmitters 😉
It's because EVERYTHING has to have a hierarchy to him. There NEEDS to be a hierarchy. There just has to be, there is no situation where there is not a hierarchy in his mind. It's obviously ridiculous, but it's his ideology.
#Neurotransmittersarenotlobsters
@@jodajoda2863 To add to what you've said, I find that JP uses hierarchy in a different way entirely. To him, any event where more than one choices/possibilities exist, the representation becomes a hierarchy. Whether it's choosing between a sandwich and an ice-cream, or choosing to ask a question vs not asking it (like that student) - the formulation of all such situations are (to JP) hierarchical. He broadens the scope of the word so much that it becomes too entirely ubiquitous.
He's not a neuroscientist. He doesn't know shit about neuroscience. That shit pissed me off too. He's a psychologist, so he's probably learned SOME neuroscience, but it's way out of his wheelhouse. His specialty is personality and social psychology. The guy just likes talking out of his ass.
I would say the most important chemical in the brain is water

@@Tesla_Death_Ray Las Vegas is a great place to get started.
After this video I had a wave of guilt wash over me. I was struck with doubt when I saw JP's video response about the Elliot Page ban. I used to defend him because I liked his rhetoric about boys being left behind. But when I saw him roleplay the hero in a special suit and light, he instantly appeared to me as madman. So I stopped defending him or sharing any of his content. But now after watching your video, I'm starting to think I could make amends by making sure no one falls in the same traps I did.
Thank you for your work.
Fair play.

One thing I really liked for helping in terms of myself understanding the boys being left behind concept was Brené Brown's "Men, Women, and Worthiness" segment. I would get really pissed with my bf at the time for not seeing what I was struggling with, and realised through listening to that regularly that I also didn't know what he was going through. Life is a challenging place, but we can do this. 🌏
Roughly speaking, culture is a see-saw. It's insufficient to simply even up the weight. An impetus is required, and the hypocritical matriarchy is the most expedient way to remove the patriarchy. The trick is going to be, to make sure the matriarchy is smoothed over to make equality.
@@hiddenechoes I admit that age 68 the boys left behind concept was something I could only conceptualize in terms of Lucy being mean to Charlie Brown which is .... not uncommon. i.ve been lucky, my guy was my best friend and I miss him like hell. And to reverse the experience, boys shaming girls for .... being girls same thing. I went to a girls school so didn't have to deal with any of that stuff until uni where it was lurking anyway but I survived. I had a great Dad who loomed benevolently in the doorway should I have a question about anything, clapped loudly when I was learning to ride a bike and fell off repeatedly which pissed me off ... in short he was also my best friend. (And so was my mum and they really liked each other). I was lucky, and frankly he would regard Jordan Peterson as an insect ... actually he wouldn't because that person would not ever enter his mind he had better things to do. He was shot in the back in WW2 rescuing a friend and got him to safety was hilariously proud of being a man with one kidney, courtly, funny "I'm only handsome because my wife picks out my clothes" brain the size of a planet and momentary moments of utter illogical madness but ALWAYS a protector of those in need and the planet in general. I don't think JP has the cognitive abilities to even understand that those are values that are worthy of respect.

if someone asks you something that's counterintuitive of your own world view of courses you will be in any relationship especially where its a tediously intense stakes like finding a common ground with one another in a debate. in order to properly think about it you need to clarify and ask why don't you understand other wise it leads us in making false assumptions about the other party which can lead to the debate going off the rails

I absolutely love when people with inflated egos say the wealth naturally disperses to the smartest and most capable. I got multiple letters from the white house in regards to getting the highest marks on standardized tests as a kid. I was on track to have my pick of university. Shit happened and my family ended up without a home for a time, been under the poverty line most of my adult life. I'm still just as "intelligent" but my circumstances changed and my opportunities dried up. I'm making 30k a year instead of 30k a minute because capitalism doesn't give a fuck about you if you don't have the means and a ton of luck
😔 I'm very sorry that happened to you. I have a similar story (ending up in poverty the majority of my adult life) despite being above average in schooling. It's very unfair, and I hate it when rich people write it off by saying "well life isn't fair buttercup, suck it up"...yeah, I realize that, and that's a huge problem because it could be fair...ya know? We live in the richest nation on earth, we had a complete psychopathic moron as president who was filthy rich for just being born into luxury. Yet, single mothers are starving, our parents would rather die than go into medical debt. Shit is beyond unfair, it's just fucking cruel! Anyways, take care friend and stay safe 😊
My story is the same...
I did really well at school and standardized tests. I grew up to become a teacher because it turned out the only thing I'm good at is school.
Capitalism doesn't value your intelligence or anything else you have to offer beyond your labour. I lament the number of unique and important minds we missed out on as they spent their lives stacking shelves in order to eat.
If people had more empathy for each other, capitalism would die a natural death. Most of the employer class just straight up don't understand what it's like to work and not receive a fair wage. They might have worked hard in their day, but in their day, wages better matched labor. Most of them just don't get that the wages they're paying are causing their employees to struggle. It doesn't even cross their minds. You can see this attitude in the condescending signs on businesses all across the country decrying that "no one wants to work." Correction, employers: no one wants to work for what YOU'RE paying.
Every time Jordan Peterson talks, all I hear is that kid in history class who claimed to be playing "devils advocate" during the WW2 lesson but actually just wanted to say shockingly horrible things to get attention.
What did the kid in your history class say that was shocking?

The soldiers they fought were just soldiers, not supervillains. For political and propaganda reasons, we hold one horrible event in history above all other horrible events, which is dishonest.

Also, it was, like, a joke, y'know?
Peterson reminds me of a time that me and my friends at the time smoked a large amount of marijuana, ate a lot of shrooms, and wandered around in downtown Louisville Kentucky on a dead Sunday. I fell asleep in the back of a car, and had an intense shroom dream, and woke up having felt like I had an epiphany on the nature of life and all things, and i started freaking out trying to tell my friends what I had unlocked in my brain just prattling out incomprehensible words desperately trying to convey my revelation watching them slowly grow from interested to concerned. Unlike myself, Peterson never moved past trying to get people on board.
Shroom dream would have summed that up nicely. Peterson’s rantings remind you of your shroom dream…with ingested weed thoughts too. While not an outright insult it is true…or would be if you or I ever did such things.
Instead of shroom it was an all meat diet

It's hilarious how your description sounds like you're describing ChatGPT or whatever language model of your choice.
As an engineer… we use all sorts of tests and sensitivity analysis to know what variables are important to include… so the idea that atmospheric physicists don’t do the same betrays a profound ignorance of hard science.
moreover, the general notion of it all, if you remove the fluff, seems to be that "you don't know what the word environment means, therefore you're wrong kiddo" is so ridiculously hilarious and pedantic, made me spit out my drink
I love Peterson, his lectures have opened up so many doors, and authors, and helped me get a decent political image of the world (starting when I did politics in University).He is one of the most influential, inspiring honest, erudite people in the world. He knows one hell of a lot of things about many IMPORTANT things...
- BUT - !!!
Peterson has got it wrong about climate change.
To quote another charismatic inspirer (Dr Karl )
Its real, we did it, its bad already, and we cannot stop it from continually getting worse and worse for at least 20 years.
There will be a myriad of related issues such as - you may end up going to war with anyone between you and the equator, and it get worse if all the methane in Greenland tries to make a break for it.
Now - Regarding Corporate propaganda, and its shameless exponent - Bjorn Longborn was famous for moving to Australia (Perth West Australia- where the mines are) and getting a bunch of support from Gina Reinhardt (for a while Australia's richest woman and Bigtime owner of Coal Mines -
FYI - She stole all the wealth from her kids so it "wouldn't get stolen from them").
Anyhow Bjorn is very smart, but he uses his smarts for various often short term cynical strategies to spread FUD while trying to discredit valid, diligent scientific work about climate change; to a level that boggles the mind. He has somehow got himself lodged and whispering in Jordan Petersons's ear.
This is a bad thing, but I am hoping that one day Jordan will be going down various intellectual rabbit holes (as he does) and will find Bjorn there, as a snake .
I think it comes down to the fact Peterson is in no way a scientist. Jungian psychology is somewhere between philosophy, science, and bullshiting and because Peterson is Peterson he believes hard sciences are the same.

It's hilarious because he hates both empirical science and postmodernism, meanwhile postmodern therapy and (the very empirically based) cognitive behavioral therapy are both extremely effective and brief compared to the kind of pseudoscience that he practiced with Jungian and Freudian techniques. Not to mention multicultural and feminist therapy being pretty standard for the whole field these days. Like he doesn't even know much about Psychology 😂

Interviewer: "Have you ever answered a yes or no question with a one-word response?"
JP: "Well, see, as a world-class linguist I have to say it depends on what you mean by 'word.' Do you mean the smallest unit of meaningful language? In that case, what would 'well' have meant in the beginning of my response just now? And by 'answer' do you mean just a response to a question or are there any underpinnings of having to 'answer to' someone in a hierarchical sense? Because hierarchies change the context of the question being asked to less of a casual, optional answer into more of a demand, even if it's unintentional, due to power structures. And that's because these, let's say, power structures have been around since time immemorial. Lobsters have power structures. But you know what social construct they didn't have? Infanticide. And I can confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt, since I'm a fully-credentialed marine biologist because I've been going to the aquarium and studying the animals there for 40 years, that lobsters have no rules about infanticide. In fact, if we go back further in evolutionary history, which I can speak to as an evolutionary biologist, we see that many species, in fact, had no gender roles and no particular role at all in the life of offspring. This was before trees and lobsters, so it must be hardwired into our brains to not care for our young and have no distinguishable gender roles. But if we're going by the most numerous animals on earth, we have to at least look to ants to figure out how we should structure gender in society. One queen who flies around, mates, and pumps out babies until she does while a harem of men provide her with a huge mansion and are at her beck and call. But wouldn't that be discrimination based on gender? Not if you're a cultural Marxist. That's just the type of matriarchal society they want. I know this because I, myself, am a professor of feminist studies. So, in answer to your question, I don't think that we should allow pineapples on pizza unless the top is the hearty meat because we can't have sweetness represented as the topmost layer, as sweetness is often permissiveness and is therefore chaos. We must temper this with order, which is the meaty structure of the ham."

But on the other hand, it's the oldest trick in the interviewer/debater's book to try to summarise a complex topic that cannot be answered with yes/no, and say "it's a yes no question", even though it really isn't, to try to force the person they're interviewing / arguing with into saying something that misrepresents what they really mean and can be used against them.

It turns out that the "alpha" male and female of a wild wolf pack are just parents teaching their young how to hunt, not physically dominant members of a peer group.
This is how good science is done - make your best guess with the evidence you have, then become your theory's own harshest critic when you get new information that doesn't support your previous ideas. Our boy Jordson could learn a lot from the humility of such honest scientific methodology.
The guy who accidentally kick-started the gluten-free craze did the same thing. His findings potentially linking gluten to gastrointestinal problems got a ton of attention so he re-did the study with an unusual level of rigor. People who claimed to be gluten sensitive stayed at the experiment site for weeks and ate only food provided by researchers. They never knew when their meals had gluten or not, but they did give regular reports on how they felt. Gluten itself didn't have a significant effect, but a class of molecules called FODMAPs that are found in cereal grains among other foods appeared to be the culprit behind some (but not all) participants' reported discomfort.

I am a qualified chemist. I specialise in medicinal chemistry. I am qualified to speak on these topics with authority and expertise.
This means that if I start speaking about the 2015 economic state of Uganda, I have absolutely no idea what the hell I am talking about and should not be given more weight in the discussion than any other participant. People need to stop pretending that being an academic makes you qualified to speak about any random field.
well it's one thing to speak about it and another to speak about things with a sense of authority. I'm in the corner of mechanical engineering, and a licensed car mechanic. When it comes to mechanics and how to fix your car, I don't think it's wrong of me to speak like I have more knowledge and experience with that to tell you what is best for your car (and if you tell me your budget, we can find a compromise for what can be done and pursue a solution together) but when it comes to medicine, I'm clueless, so if I speak about health or medicine or even biology I either read about it and cite my sources, or I am transparent about how I actually am not a person that has an educated opinion on that matter. Even if I read a lot of studies, I have not learned about the topic in the step by step way you'd learn in a class, where the boring but important information is taught aswell. Anyone that is educated in the field of science does know that no one speaks about science in absolute ways, all we have are theories that need further investigation for clarification, so that is another thing about Peterson. He doesn't use the little science he does know, the way a scientist would.
It’s also because he just uses big words in an attempt to sound smart, and to make complete gibberish sound thoughtful. And of course the generic self help shit makes him seem like a caring father figure to them.

He thinks something has to be noticed by a man in order for it to be taken into consideration
Utterly egregious
Even men get sexually assaulted, so many men in our society refuse to believe men can get harassed too. Jordan doesn't care about men or women, he is just a straight up psychopath and a grifter.
It's wild to me that people can hear Jorpson say something so blatantly misogynistic and not come to the conclusion that he's a misogynist. Well, that and everything else that he has said.
Peterson somehow thinks he's intelligent because he has a PHD, and yet he says so many stupid and ignorant things. As a behavioral psychologist, he should be able to understand what a sexual predator is and how they tend to justify their actions and minimize the damage they inflict on their victims. Especially in the case of predators who molest or assault family members, they often don't think they have done anything wrong. I'm very sorry for what happened to you. Please ignore idiots like Peterson. Even with his fancy PHD, he has no idea what he is talking about!
Peterson: Clean your room and take responsibility for it and you will be happy
Also Peterson: No don't clean up your planet, that's not the same... Look, see, imagine if you were a grasshopper and this was 1930s Germany...
@Benjamin Eby
Lol. You absolutely can clean the planet and many people in service jobs do just that. What people are saying though is that it's not enough -- and no. No individual Joe Schmoe is responsible for-- or can really do anything about the climate crisis. It needs to be a concerted effort by many people (that meaning, governments) who all currently live on said planet. Basically, our metaphysical rooms.
I think what you're interpreting is that saying "clean the planet" literally means one person going from country to country, dredging rivers, reverse osmosis sewage, picking up litter, re-planting all the trees, setting up wind turbines, inspecting nuclear power plants, etc.
Which is just a dumb assumption to draw.
You and I are literal nobodies. We don't have the time, resources or power to do anything.
@Benjamin Eby Toddler logic. Like how little kids will make a huge mess in seconds and then act like the end of the world when told to clean it up. You make a mess in your room, you clean it up. You make a mess on your planet, you clean it up.
Jordan Peterson is the personification of the pseudo-science that Foucault exposed as a fraud decades ago. Every time I listen to him, I enjoy thinking that Foucault was right. As Cody said, Peterson isn’t a serious person. He is a psychologist who thinks he is a scientist. But psychology simply is not science and that is why he can never answer any questions - he is actually right: psychology doesn’t know enough to make any claims. However, the mistake he makes is talking at all. He should just be quiet.
@@yuripetrovic7606 well spoken, but I think that your analysis is pretty dumb.

For someone who hates postmodernism, Peterson sure does fall into epistemological black holes where he can’t accept a definition of anything.
Epistemological black holes, but they’re well illuminated by lighting all the straw men on fire.
Didn't he admit 100% of his knowledge of postmodernism stems from one Hitchens book that's criticized as a bad book on postmodernism?
Peterson really embodies the image of stereotypical online smart person who has read a little on every topic and is decent at quoting stuff. Without the academic credentials he'd be just a random internet smartass.

Half the time he makes up his own definition and, cognoscente of his own ruse, with a straight face acts as though his definition is the accepted one.
@@senorbb2150 I bet he doesn't know the proper definition too
For a guy who hates postmodernism so much, Jordan sure loves dancing around language to beat it into a shape that he wants it to be.
he doesn't really know what postmodernism is so he just used the word to describe stuff he assumes his enemies do since he also does it
If you actually studied the canon and historical representations of meaning you'd understand how ignorant your viewpoint is.
Peterson is a bullshit artist. He likes to string big words together in an effort to mask the absurdity of his positions with word vomit complexity. I've seen acardemics do this a lot to prevent other scientists from questioning their methodology and/or conclusions. But Peterson isn't even all that great at it. It's a little confounding that people fall for it, but then again think of the MILLIONS of rubes who bought Trumps endless stream of mouth excrement and he was plainly a huckster at best. I guess there are always going to be vulnerable and gullible people out there.

He plays your game against you and shows how misguided you are.
I mean. The way he talked to that student was so telling. The young man was so polite and open for a different viewpoint, saying stuff like "of course" and acknowledging the points where he is on level with the prof. The answer? A very weird repetitive "No! Not of course!" as if he was talking to a bad puppy. What a tool. Not open to discussion or even a normal talk.
It is telling.
I know when I was younger and wanted to talk the “big things” like politics and religion with people, they’d scoff and say things like “you’re young, wait until you’re mature” or some other nonsense. And it was so miserable, wanting to actually discuss things, maybe change minds, maybe come to a consensus… and to be talked down to. To be patronized in such an obvious and ridiculous way.
I had the best discussion (about abortion) with a guy my own age who was very set in his opinion & me in mine, but we were very polite with each other and recognized each other’s valid points. It was a thought provoking conversation, one that I think about from time to time, just because it was one of the first times that I, as a young 20s, was not dismissed out of hand for no other reason than my age (or my opposing opinions).
@@tabathaalshalhoub1653 The funny thing about that is that traditionally young people are way more passionate about ideological debates, and their views are less tainted by endless nihilism caused by a long difficult life. In other words, maturity does not equal more insight, if anything the opposite is true in my experience. Old people are typically way more jaded and much less open-minded, which is not surprising or even a controversial take, that's just how people are.
@@eugenefullstack7613 I will have to add that I’ve always hated that song “I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger” but there are some things I’ve learned as I have gotten older. But it hasn’t made me talk condescendingly to younger people. I even teach 5 year olds and I treat their questions with respect, even if it gets us off topic (because the focus should be about learning, being excited to learn, how to answer questions, etc and not “we have to do these pages today”).
He didn't even let him finish his question
Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson are the perfect examples of a debater who doesn't know how to debate. It's the simple process of adopting the aesthetics of a skilled debater, but not following through with the necessary steps. You see this in Ted Cruz as well.
I'm sure something could be said about modern day sophists
That's the problem, though. The aesthetics is all you need. If you can convince your audience that you're a big brain alpha, if you can build a *seemingly* more rational case, it doesn't matter if you're correct. Unfortunately this is true in certain segments of the left as well. It is the nature of Internet Politics(tm), which is to politics what sci-fi is to science. It is politics as entertainment and a drug. But if you go look at the comment sections of any atheist-theist debate, you'll find each side declaring their guy the winner in equal numbers. Debates were never about finding interesting arguments and, but about the spectacle when our favorite brainy bois beat their opposition into a pulp with their cerebral prowess.
Dude; totally thought the EXACT same thing as I was watching.
these "debaters" appeal to people who love debating but never study it; they went to college, figure a bunch of douchebags, so we don't have to
They are living embodiments of Platonic Sophists. They really make understanding Socrates hatred of sophists come to life.
It's odd how those scientists that predicted the temperature rise, sea level rise, and all those other things they've BEEN EXACTLY RIGHT ABOUT, have so much "error" in their data.

More than 100 years ago, at least 1912 according to news clippings
I can't believe when he said "it's not like the bible was put together by a committee...." that you didn't bring up, that is EXACTLY what happened. The stories were compiled by a group of men. And they left out stories that didn't align with their ethos.I can't believe how easy I found the time to get this short recap into my day.
It's hilarious because this is well documented.
It’s almost like they heard about the Council of Nicaea but then thought nah, that couldn’t have happened. But that’s exactly how the first version of the New Testament was formed.
Not only that, we also have well documented instances of alterations and additions after the fact within the bible.
Not only in the original where stories have been added to Peter and Paul for example, which we could find out becuse it was documented that scripts had been added to Peter and Paul in the Council in Trent. They put scripture into Peter and Paul because they didn’t fully know where those parts came from but decided that they would work best within that setting and put them in.
___ If you want read a more detailed decription on how we today udnerstand that they did not fit, if not skip to the next __
1. In Ephesians, 40 words have been used which previously have not been used in the works and mark a very strong language and style shift, which is a strong indicator that it was a different author. Paul previously talked much more about how Jesus was acting on god’s behalf, Ephesians however puts Jesus on an more autonomous path, which directly contradicts Pauls previous writings, again idicateing a different author.
2. Colossians is also understood to be not an original work and added in the 2nd century. Mainly because it is targeted at Gnosticism and refuteing the idea. However Gnosticism was not realy understood to be heresy untill the 2nd century - putting the work roughly 50-80 years after Paul. Again language used is much different and it is hypothosised that it was a student of Paul trying to carry on Paul’s legacy.
3. 1. Peter and 2. Peter face similar problems. With 1. Peter showing it beeing written by someone who had formal education in greek and philosophy - something highly doubtfull for a supposed galilean fisherman. Much more damning is that 1. Peter references the Septuagint translation, something which would not have been aviable during the supposed writing of the letters. 2. Peter has similar issues, the first is that the identifyer used for Peter uses a different spelling for Peter - which is weird if you identify yourself you’d know how to spell your name. Again like Colossians it makes references to the 2nd century idea of gnosticism and references the book of Jude, again which doesn’t fit the timeline oft he rest oft he works.
________
Carry on here.
This means not even the original texts which later were decided upon during the Council of Rome in 382 under Damasus, and the last confirmation oft he bible (not it’s translations) was in 1546.
To now know that the bible was not dropped down onto earth (like Muslims claim for the Quran) is absurdly naive for someone who claims to understand the devine idea of a deity and referenceing the judeo-christian values as much as Peterson does.
Something I, as a german, find disgusting. As a long lasteing christian value and tradition is to surpress the jewish faith as „outdated“ and „not haveing accepted the messiah“. Somthing which was burried after the 2nd world war, but brought up again by Pope Benedict (a german for all that is ironic) to include praying again for the „deluded jew“ during easter mass with the words „„Oremus et pro Iudaeis. Ut Deus et Dominus noster illuminet corda eorum, ut agnoscant Iesum Christum salvatorem omnium hominum.“ (translated to May god enlighten the jews to accept Jesus Christ as their saviour). Something popes previously had dropped from the easter mass and used a much more inclusive version saying „let us also pray for the jews to whom our god spoke firstly, whom he protected in covenant“
Yes, I fully expected them to jump on that and was disappointed when they didn't. Like, you just described exactly how the Bible was put together and then claimed it wasn't. "It's not like America was originally a collection of British colonies until they got fed up with certain British policies and decided to declare their independence and fought a war to become a new country."
@@sarahbarrett1247the Council of Nicea didn't in any shape or form decide the canon of the Bible. That's a 18th century myth that for some obscure reason keeps popping up. The actual process can also not be accurately described as "by committee". It was more a running debate of a couple of centuries that resulted in a list that was only then canonized instead of the other way around
"Animals just kill to eat." Proof that Peterson has never owned a cat.

In a Debate about Atheism... he changed the definitions for "god", "religion", "truth", and a few other things...
It's funny that he'll be talking about being scientific in our definitions and respecting the real meanings of words one minute and saying that words have no meaning and science is overrated the minute the topic changes from gender to climate. Like most other Americans, he only believes in science insofar as it is convenient to his ideology.
The funny thing about the Monopoly example is that Monopoly was created by a socialist to demonstrate the problems of unregulated capitalism. There used to be a second round of the game where the rules introduced progressive taxation, to show the importance of wealth redistribution. It creates winners and losers on purpose, it's not just a random thing that happens to be in the game, it's literally the entire point of the game. The game was created to fight hierarchies.
So educational

Nobody usually does. It’s always some complex issue that doesn’t have a Yes/No answer.
@@henglish3398 Except that Jordan Peterson doesn't need a "complex issue" for him to do this sort of stuff. Regardless of how simple the question is, he'll just battle you on the semantics and point out that it would be possible to use bad definitions for some words and how those definitions aren't very useful and therefore the question can't really be answered.
There is a large number of examples of this cited in Alex O'Connor's video on JP's views on religion, like when he's asked "do you think the events of the Bible really happened", that would normally be a simple "yes", "no" or "I'm uncertain", but instead he starts to go all stoner about what reality really is and what it means to "happen".
Though I can't entirely blame him, because one part of this would be that giving a simple answer seems boring, so he might just be going through different interpretations to make the answer give more insight, but that shouldn't be used as an excuse to not actually give an answer.
Yes, it's very hard for so many people to listen to real meaningful content isn't it? Poor lost souls who couldn't care about the truth much less allow themselves to consider the human condition to the point that they may find themselves responsible for the advancement of society.

Peterson is a caricature of conservatism. He is all about why people should never change anything. Pretty much everything he does is grasp at every possible reason why change is scary. And sometimes change is scary, so he resonates with fearful people.
Yep, conservatives try to stop the world from changing, but the world changes anyway - that's why conservatives always lose in the long run.
That was me, I was one of those "fearful people". That's really all it was. The *potential* for unpleasant change worried me and change in general is hard for me to deal with, so I gravitated toward Peterson's claims regarding being forced to use certain pronouns. I didn't like the idea of compelled speech in any sense.
As it turns out, if I had actually looked into his views a bit more or and done *any* research into his claims, I would have realized much sooner what he really was. Instead, I just kind of stopped watching him on my own, and only much later found out that not only were his claims false, but he was using that momentum to spread some pretty dangerous views.
@@ThePurbleKing that seems to be a general trend. I've met a lot of otherwise reasonable people who start liking Jordan Peterson for his very surface level stuff, then she appeals to their anxiety of change to draw them in deeper.
I will tack on he represents neo liberalism because it uses faux-rationalism for why we cannot directly confront an issue. It's a long winded incremental argument about why we as present humans can't do anything presently drawing on either maintaining traditional forms or well it's too complicated to confront. Two sides of the do nothing coin

@@guyincognito5663 He can help conservative young straight men who feels disenfranchised by a world that is moving further and further away from traditional masculinity as the staple identity at the top of the hierarchy. His rules for life isn't really a unique contribution to the self-help scene, it's just stay organized and be disciplined, but because he mirrors something these men either had in their upbringing and now feel is missing(stability in who you are and that being unquestionable), or they've never had it and always struggled with self-confidence he provides that angle. It's a small, inoffensive branch of his overarching conservative and socially regressive philosophy but as we've seen it easily acts as a gateway to the rest of his reactionary and anti-progressive ramblings.
He's essentially offering a cop-out solution for young men questioning themselves, their self-worth, and their identity that just doesn't exist for any other group, whereas a woman who feels marginalized, or a queer person, or a black person will have to navigate a world and discover their own self-worth in spite of a world that doesn't think they should have any. He's basically telling these young men who have the exact same path in front of them that everyone else is wrong for telling them that they would also have to put in the same work as everyone else.
Basically, we're in a crisis of masculine identity today, and instead of forging ahead towards something better for everyone JP is saying "F***, go back!".
There are two kinds of people who become therapists. Those who wants to help others, and those who *really* need help themselves. I… do believe JBP falls solidly into the second category…
As a bio graduate, I'd just like to say:
1) Being older than trees isn't an achievement or a measure of importance, there are various marine organisms that predate trees and lobsters
2) Peterson knows why marine life predates land organisms, right? It's not like life required water to begin and lobsters so happened to diverge from other marine organisms or that once plant life moved to land, they had an enormous uphill battle to evolve traits that allowed them to live on land
3) As Cody mentioned (and from my ecology class), Peterson is obsessed with one type of hierarchy when in reality hierarchies can be organized into various other configurations
4) Human hierarchies are social constructs, not biological
5) The human brain relies on various neurotransmitters; serotonin is just one and it isn't "the most important"
6) Peterson has never mentioned Rosalind Franklin when he's peddling his pseudoscientific ahistorical telling of the discovery of the DNA structure, any self-respecting scientist knows her contribution to the discovery considering her data was stolen by a colleague of Watson and Crick
7) PZ Myers said this so I'll just put it here, Peterson used the opposite of the scientific method, he began with his conclusion, found an animal with traits he liked (lobster) and then formulated his hypothesis
8) After rewatching the video again, I'd just like to add one more thing, Peterson's understanding and solution to climate change is laughable. "Make the poor rich and make the cost of energy cheaper", I agree that we should help people out of poverty. The part that makes no sense is how making energy cheaper will change the processes that create the harmful byproducts we get from harboring energy. He's also ignoring that other factors that contribute to climate change. It's concerning that people hold the opinion of a social scientist turned fossil fuel propagandist in higher regard than the people actually working in the field.
EDIT: Some spelling and formatting, I also added point 8
All true, from what I know. I guess it’s harder to inspire young men with stories about sponges 😂
@@angrybeluga1697 indeed 🤣
I think we are over emphasizing lobsters and then the apparent use of lobsters to justify a hierarchy. I think there's baggage with the word hierarchy that causes confusion. It is not a worthiness / power / ruling hierarchy, it is about competence - and there are multiple hierarchies, and hierarchies of hierarchies. He isn't justifying social darwinism here.
As for 1) Being older than trees simply means that a system evolved in organisms, and it has survived so far long, that it must be robust and hence has value to the species, or multiple species in which the system operates.
4) This betrays the baggage with hierarchies - he is talking about the emergence of competence hierarchies. Social hierarchies are a different matter. As I said, there is no one hierarchy, but multiple ones. Even if people at the bottom of the social hierarchy come together and engage in social play, they will end up organizing themselves into a competence hierarchy - that is to say, different people will gain different levels of importance from their fellow mates - and there's absolutely ways of going up and down hierarchies, within one person's control. This also answers (3).
Peterson has issues with climate change and his other increasingly right leaning stances, but I have rarely come across anyone who gets their criticism of hierarchies right.
1-2. Wasn't his point that we show direct lineage to lobsters and the role of serotonin seems to show up in land animals as well?
3. I don't really see the obsession with one type of hierarchy. He for example talks about family hierarchies vs. artificial groups and flaws of monarchy.
4. source?
5. He never said that wasn't the case, he pointed out the direct link between serotonin and group status
6. He never mentioned Crick and Watson either and why would he, it's not a history class
7. well granted he does make facts fit his conclusion and I don't like it either. I'll give you that one, he's a cherry picker
@@austintyler7901 Thank you, that's a good point regarding the politics here. More importantly, the kind of hierarchies that Peterson talks about are not the kind that left leaning individuals think he is justifying. These hierarchies can and do emerge when a group of children come together to play, people of the same socio economic status engage in extended social interactions, people engaging in any endeavor. It has to do with competence, responsibility and reward - not power, which is what many on the left associate hierarchies with.
More importantly, there is not one hierarchy, and they are mobile.
The video also misses out on his conversation about chimps, where tyrannical chimps can be eliminated out of competition by cooperating chimps - which points out that competence hierarchies do not tolerate power or domination.

As an Albertan, realizing he got his education at Grande Prairie answers literally every single question I ever had about this man.
Care to elaborate for the rest of us? This sounds like it'll be a fun explanation.
Yeah I am curious about that too.
Know next to nothing about Canada but just a wiki blurb about Grande Prairie at the time tells one enough about his climate science perception: "The town of Grande Prairie was incorporated as a city in 1958. At that time, its population was approximately 7,600. The opening of the Procter & Gamble kraft pulp mill in 1972 and the discovery of the Elmworth deep basin gas field spurred an economic boom. Grande Prairie's population went from just over 12,000 in the early 1970s to over 24,000 by the time the oil boom went bust in 1981."
JP got there in 1979.
One should also perhaps mention that Fairview where he went to school CURRENTLY is a town of 2500, the same as it was in c.1970.
Some towns in Greenland I visited have more people than that and in terms of things to do you could get on a boat to do some fishing or get gazeboed on the regular with rye vodka.

@@AdobadoFantastico The simple answer is Alberta is kind of like the Canadian version of Texas.

I’ve watched about 30 videos of JP over the years. Apart from being a climate change denier and a gold medalist in word saladry, I’ve heard him say - “Contraception will be the downfall of the west”, “women who decide not to have children are destined to remain forever unhappy”, “women were much happier in the 1950’s”, “ incels wouldn’t be around if we had socially enforced monogamy”, “the male is order, the female is chaos”, “the male is the divine individual, the female is the divine mother and child”.”men and women working together is problematic” What an outdated view of humanity he has, especially of women. What a simplified view of the 8 billion of us , dividing humanity into two. We are all individuals and although there are biological differences and some traits that are different, we all have individual values, priorities and ways of seeing the world. There is a huge overlap in these things.
he's also said that rape needs to be reverted back into a property crime against the woman's husband because, according to him, that's the only way to get men to care about rape.

I want to make a small note of Peterson's ramble around 57 minutes in about private school vs public school - as a Norwegian, this idea that its a divine or natural law that dictates (richer) people who go to private school are smarter than people who go to public school is very funny to me, because here, it's generally "accepted" that the big well-funded public universities and colleges are what you attend if you're smart enough to get through their selection programmes, whereas private school is something you buy your way into if you're rich but not good enough to get into the top public schools. Because public school is well-funded, we don't have that gap where all our politicians and business leaders went to private school (pretty much everyone here goes to public school, wealthy or poor, and school quality isn't based on your damn zip code), nor do we have the "joke" that public school is a bad education. Btw, I'm not even saying that its true that public university / high school attendees are smarter than those at private schools here, I'm just saying that as a point of showing how material conditions play into things like grades and success.
A major problem in the US is the trust conservatives put into what others tell them. If they looked at examples in the world, many of their world views would shatter. 😮💨
Asking them about hypothetical examples (or real ones, like yours) is like asking them to imagine society without gravity. :/
Here in the US a lot of private schools are highly religious, and some of them do provide a worse education than public school.
@@TragoudistrosMPH My biggest example of that is universal healthcare. Conservatives in the US like to say how it's a terrible idea while simultaneously ignoring that virtually every country on Earth has it and it can work very well.
@@Michael_ORourke and of people who actually appear to engage with the idea thoughtfully (they aren’t) like steven crowder - who uses his status as a canadian to make him seem more right - literally use like canada or the uk as their examples for problems, disregarding the fact that those countries have like the least effective implementations.
Same here in Slovakia, private school is something you go to if you're not smart enough to go to a public school
I'm not a psychologist, although I work with them, but even with my degree in English language and rhetoric I can see how he is using his training to tell a segment of the population what they want to hear in order to achieve fame and fortune. He's sucking the money nozzle. This is a shocking, nauseating misuse of scholarly acumen. Perhaps he is so tormented because he is aware of what he has become.
I'm not a psychologist either but I would say you are probably telling some truth their.
In my amateur psychologist oppinion, Jordan is all about Jordan. He is charismatic, loves to talk and is hooked on people believeing him to be some sort of sage or prophet.
He does undoubtedly help some people and is undoubtedly extremely intelligent and is probably right more than he is wrong.
I don't want to beat up on him too much here as at first watch and only half an hour in I think this is probably a far left leaning platform. And the left do love to hate but in defence and love of certain minorities of course.
@@johnwheeler3071unfortunately a part of being intelligent is being able to recognize and admit that you were wrong, which he seems incapable of doing
He makes up stories and gets so moved by the stories he makes up it's really impressive.
That specific one with the fellow calling in almost sounded like there was no call and he was just 'talking' to himself. Of course that could just be because the caller reminded him of himself.
That's spot on!
He has the same Guru-complex as Russell Brand. Grifting political influencers who are so full of themselves that they get moved by their own words.

The woman who created Monopoly actually created 2 games meant to go together - the Landlord's Game and Prosperity. The Landlord's Game was meant to show the inevitable results of the land-grabbing system that existed (one person accumulates wealth and everyone else goes bankrupt) while Prosperity required players to work together and improve everyone's standing. Prosperity played correctly was a game that didn't end demonstrating the sustainability of that economic system.
Prosperity sounds lame, everyone cooperating so every player can have fun and where everyone wins or loses together, based on how well the cooperate… lame.

@@FOURTEEFIVE he platforms some fuckin disgusting people and doesn't challenge them? Haha honestly jus do like 5 seconds of googling my dude
Jordan Peterson answers all questions like he's a college freshman trying to pad out an essay to make it seem longer and more profound.
As soon as he said, "I found out how to monetize social justice warriors." He lost any plausible deniability as a complacent and unknowing thinking man. Call him Shen Bapero.
Also, he misspoke. He didn't find out how to monetize social justice warriors. Instead, he found out how to monetize right wing nutjobs looking for an easy imaginary target upon which to exercise their misanthropy.
He comes from the "I'm not racist, I just always seem to have something negative/passive aggressive to say every time I'm reminded that PoC exist" school of rational, balanced, unbiased thinking.

You know, Jordan Peterson is such a complex, nuanced topic, I assumed this video would have to be huge! I'm really impressed you managed to keep it to a such a terse, reasonable timeframe yet still do justice to such a controversial figure. Kudos!
For some reason, Peterson strikes me as the character Don Quijote. I can totally picture him fighting windmills on a horse.
I know the runtime is all people are commenting about, but you manage to talk about this dude for three hours and never really repeat yourself or waste time.
The only segments in the entire video that weren't some combination of entertaining, informative, and worthwhile were the parts where Jordan Peterson is speaking.
That is an astute assessment.
lol
Sometimes I wish I had more lead in my environment so I couldn't suppress the rage I feel when I hear him talk. But then again I would probably agree with him if that were true.
Did he even ever address the coma stuff he promised to get back to?
its too long bruv
It's incredible how, if you say "climate change is real," he'll answer you with "Well what do you mean by 'climate?' And what do you mean by 'change?' And what do you mean by 'real?'" Essentially disallowing you from using any widely-accepted terms, and expecting you to come up with brand-new definitions for any word you want to use. And if he takes issue with something you say, and you begin a response with "okay," he'll interrupt you and fucking berate you about it because he doesn't think you're being precise enough.
But of course, when asked about same-sex marriage, he talks about "the continued assault on traditional modes of being" without explaining what he means by "traditional modes of being," why a "traditional" mode of being is better than a non-traditional one, what he means by assault, or why he chose a word that evokes violence. He refuses to meet people where they are, choosing to talk about "cultural Marxists" and ignoring the fact that we're talking about rights. And, of course, his answer boils down to "no," he doesn't support marriage equality, since his spooky cultural Marxists will, of course, support marriage equality as they've been doing the entire time.
I know right! It’s like all these cultural Marxist haven’t been changing definitions of words on an almost weekly scale since the early 20th century….oh wait….
Peterson's inner monologue:
You can never be precise enough for my high standards but when it's my turn, I'm going to overgeneralize to the point that I'm not actually saying anything, then claiming I'm correct but oppressed.
The guy is great at stringing what sounds like smart ideas and words around without actually saying much of anything a lot of the time, the start of this video highlights that fantastically, it is like a subjective word salad that seems meaningful but isn't at all. What actually fascinates me about this is that it is a symptom of the benzodiazepine haze where a person thinks they are having grandiose insights but they are actually in a somewhat delirious kind of spiritual/emotional state running off of weird energy (I know because I have been there). Note his personal crisis, rediscovery of religion and those rantings of late weaving it all into world events.
best to just ask, "well, how would you define them?" it would probably stall him out, like tricking an evil computer.
@@petecabrina it's painful to watch and I really feel for him personally, despite horror at the effects of his influence over others. There's the obvious signs not just of benzo overuse, but also the suffering that leads people to overuse benzos or any other pharmaceutical cope in the first place. I wonder if recognition of that shared pain is part of what attracts people to him. It's encouraging that less fashy commenters are doing what they can to provide alternative solutions to the problem of suffering, because it is so urgent.
I know he has an insanely over-inflated ego, but Peterson genuinely staring into middle distance for 15 seconds to ponder if he might be a religious prophet is on an entirely different level.
not a fan (anymore) but now I kinda pity him, his brain seems scrambled eggs at this point
@@maciejgrenda216 I feel like he was in a better place to be in the public eye before he nearly died. Likely should have stepped down after that.

Always appreciate a "psychologist" who "doesn't care about people's feelings".
I hope you understand the fundamental complexity of this statement. I mean what do you mean by “care”? How would you define “feelings”? I am asking from the position of a qualified evolutionary biologist who focuses on the neuroscience of lobster mating cycles.

Asking Peterson for an answer to an yes or no question is like asking ChatGPT to write you an erotic novel.
The Peterson Pattern actually reminds me of a great lesson in critical thinking I had some years back. We were reading Platos Republic and our class created a thing where we defended Thrasymachus because we were so amazed that his description of how society works was still applicable today. Our teacher told us "It's true that he provides an analysis of *what* and *why* things are, but ask yourself *does he explain why is it OK that things are what they are*"
Good approach!
I also like the approach that the very thing that makes us human is that we do NOT accept the world as it naturally is. Humans started being humans when they started changing the world around themselves.
Using fire and tools, healing diseases with medicine, building machines to do the work for us... Why should we not try to change the "natural necessity" of hierarchies if we don't like them? We've changed everything else already!
Which is a weird flex, because in Plato's version rulers purposefully lie to the masses so they would submit to a hierarchy as far as we can tell is completely arbitrary. He would have them to believe people to be born with golden silver or bronze in their souls. Just as Peterson is doing here.
By okay you mean “just”? Very probing to ask in the dialogue about justice and what being just means.
Thrasymachus lives in a fascist worldview. Might is right, justice is the rule of the strong, and their rule proves they are just.
Yep.
@@lookbovine Yeah, but that's why Plato is a genius. He was the first to identify LANGUAGE (and the semiotics of language) as the fundamental barrier to truth and understanding. His work was one of the first deconstructions of recursiveness in language and it took 1000 years - really until Ludwig Wittgenstein - for us to realize this.
So you get Plato's Forms which exist outside the conscious, or rather cognitive, purview of language but still exist as real, unchanging virtues we should aspire towards.
And there are entire schools of thought on what it means to be "just" from Utilitarianism (of Mills and Bentham), to Kantian deontology to Rawls work on justice.
It's like asking what being "free" means. Isiah Berlin makes the distinction between positive freedom (freedom to do something) and negative freedom (the freedom from something). Which "freedom" is more "free?"
This is why we need to teach ETHICS. Right and Wrong are not easy subjects to reason about and philosophy has, correctly, spend an inordinate times fleshing out this question.
Aristotle's theory of means is a decent starting point (albeit with deep flaws when you try to extrapolate the idea to society writ large in the form of laws, so even Aristotle has limits).

I'm an hour and 15 minutes in and while I AM going to finish this video, this is about 2 hours and 50 minutes of Jordan Peterson more than I normally tolerate.
Any time spent watching Jordan Peterson is time you'll never get back.
Cody needs to produce a shorter version where all the dang Jordan Peterson is edited out.
You were told NOT TO LOOK AT THE TIME STAMP!
Actually, the five minute Peterson clips are often pretty interesting. They are just some psychological take on some person from history or their motivations. When he goes on for more than five minutes, on the other hand, they end up being two hours of gibberish.
For real
him saying "egg" in response to Joe Rogan saying chicken in a sentence has honestly held me over for most of the video
I just realized, on my 10th viewing, that Peterson says, "the US military has been at the front of intelligence research" and inteprets that as researching how smart people are. But intelligence research is figuring out how best to spy on people.... he just said a true fact and then blatently misinterpretted the definition to make his claim sound credible! No one will ever read this, but that just blew my mind, I cant believe i never caught that before....😂
I read it and appreciate you ❤
I notice him doing this stuff several times and its impossible to know if he's doing it on purpose or he is just actually stupid. I'm betting that he is just being blatantly dishonest everytime he opens his mouth. This type of person has zero passion for the truth. he either misleads people on purpose or he was too lazy to actually learn. He is a cockroach...

1:20 I love the idea of a doctor criticizing climate models for only including some variables and not "everything." Your blood pressure and heart rate aren't "everything" about you, but most doctors seem pretty interesting in using those to judge your health. It's almost like that's the entire point of a scientific model, to focus in on the key drivers of climate or health.
Let's all sit here and appreciate the fact that _JOE ROGAN_ is sitting here slowing himself down to explain climate change to Jordan Peterson, as if he was five years old
No, you see, Joe just didn't get what Jordan was saying. What Jordan was saying is that words don't mean anything and therefore we should not even be trying to discuss any potential "problems" to find "solutions". Everything means anything and that means nothing. At least he gets being a Nihilist right, since he seems to be misinterpreting pretty much everything else he talks about.

He's so selective about what requires detail. If he has to play defense then it becomes infinitely -pedantic- nuanced. Whenever he's on offense then we can take astronomical leaps, gloss over everything, muddle things together, and only critique things by either simplifying them to the point of being infantile or by waffling about it until everything means nothing.

Good point! I had a feeling like this, but couldn't put my finger on it..
are you talking about peterson or the homeless guy in this video?
Above all else Peterson seems to fancy himself a master of debate.
I knew someone who, as an edgy know-it-all teen and young adult, argued in the exact same way. Instead of countering points based on the facts presented, he instead resorted to a lot of pedantic hole-poking, verbal run-around, and deconstruction of the presentation of his opponent’s arguments. The idea was to delegitimize the points his opponent made by making it seem like his opponent was unprepared or an imbecile, which protected him from having to defend his actual opinion.
The person I knew was VERY proud of the fact that he was in “Model UN” in high school and that he was evidently never defeated in debate because of his use of that specific style.

@@bballforever100 Well, there is certainly a natural order of animals, a hierarchy so to speak. In this order lobsters, which are certainly animals, have a consciousness that is assuredly comparable to human hierarchies. In that matter, the lobster has significantly more chances to be eaten by a superior being, the human, than the inverse. So I think that while lobsters are an admirable animal, it is the responsibility of our society to analyze the inevitability of this hierarchy, a hierarchy that is to be overturned if we follow the tenets of Cultural Marxism. In conclusion, I would say that lobsters are definitely animals and humans are objectively higher in the natural hierarchy.
I hope this answered all your questions.
You should eat the lobster that beats all the others to crawl out of the tank, because he has succeeded and some cultures say devouring the strong confers their strength upon you.
The gay marriage thing makes me think of when my mom and dad got married. It was over 50 years ago. They were both dirt poor, had virtually nothing, got married in their tiny apartment on a weekday. The pastor they hired told them they already had a mark against them since they had been living together "in sin" for several months. Dad's mother dragged him into the bedroom and told him not to marry mom because mom was Catholic (not Baptist like dad's family), had many siblings, and she'd want him to help them with money or whatever (he had no money). They ignored all those people, got married, and went back to work the next day.

Jordan Peterson doesn't just dance around every question, he spouts out a nonsensical word salad almost every time as an answer. I'm impressed that this guy can even draw substance from anything Peterson ever says.
What's funny about the monopoly bit is that there is a super famous psych study that's taught in psych classes all the time where they got a bunch of people to play monopoly and intentionally rigged the game so one of the participants in each group was randomly selected to have absurd advantages like starting out with twice as much money, getting to roll 2 dice while the other person rolls one, and collects twice as much money when they pass go. The study showed how the selected person may typically start out sheepish and try to be fair they eventually became way more aggressive and started to act like they totally deserved the win. You'd think a professor in Psychology would know about this and how it goes against a lot of his points but oh well
If I had a bunch of absurd advantages in Monopoly, you're goddamn right I'd be going for the throat. I'd look like an absolute buffoon, losing a rigged game like that lol
He does. He talked about that, (and usually a tangential about the Pareto distribution), but more often the Milgram experiments. Which is similar, but worse in regards to the typical reluctance, but breakdown and willingness of people that tended to be far more often than first expected. And in this case we're talking about to the point of theoretically killing someone ffs.
@@firedrake110 I think this is why people get so defensive about shit like white privilege. They feel like they were supposed to get two dice but they don't feel like they did but people keep saying white people get to roll two dice, so they feel like they should be winning when they're not. The reality being that (in this metaphor), some people get stopped every time they go past the "go to jail" square, and most of the properties are already owned by like 6 billionaires.
@@firedrake110 you seem to be missing the point.
Important addition about the Monopoly rigging experiment: in post game interviews, when the advantaged player won, they were more likely to say it was because of their skill, whereas if the disadvantaged player won they were more likely to attribute it to luck. Huge implications for how we understand inequality (and the people who deny its a problem).
One thing I really respect about this show is how they're able to take complex, often intentionally obfuscating topics and cover them in an extremely short video.
Also, thanks for reminding me not to look at the runtime, it definitely made the video seem longer than the shockingly short runtime.

Jordan Changed my Life. I can now identify when some pseudo-intellect is spewing Bull5hit
I think Jordan Peterson believes that he is so intelligent that he can briefly think about a subject and understand it better than all of the people who study that same subject as their lifelong profession, working with others who also share that lifelong profession.
I have a former friend who is a deep narcissist who believes the same thing about himself.

Perfect comment
@@sycoutuber92 I disagree. You're completely leaving out his further points on hierarchy, mainly that there are other types of hierarchy found in nature than the one very specific type JP wants to talk about and that the complex, human-made hierarchies JP tries to equate to natural hierarchies are not, in fact, natural. Talking about the common ancestor of a worm and lobster aggression was to highlight how JP uses false science to back up his opinions and present them as fact, which immediately calls into question the validity of the opinion.
As someone who listened to Joe Rogan a ton and listened to Peterson a ton, I really really appreciate this! I have always been someone who assumes positive intent, and I am easily swayed if I am being completely honest with myself. As I age (33) I find I am gaining a deeper understanding of what I actually believe etc, and honestly things like this are so critical to me. Overall I just really appreciate the truly insane amount of work that had to go into this, and literally every video you all do. Thank you all, for all you do, because it is truly impressive and instructive!
I listened to a few Joe Rogan podcasts. When he had on a guest I thought I would like. But then I started to see that he doesn't push back nearly enough against trash like Peterson. It's not his fault; he doesn't have the tools.
@@Admiralmeriweather Joe Rogan has a ton of money now and can afford a staff to work on the subjects that his guests will be speaking about. So no he could use tools but he chooses not to.
"Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by stupidity"
Is JBP malicious or, given the rife hypocrisy....
@@Admiralmeriweather I think he's actually getting better on this point. I'm not sure if it's mentioned on this vid (I'm only an hour in so far) but during the recent 'climate' podcast JP started going off on a tangent about how 600mil children a year die from bad air quality caused by cooking on indoor fires. Joe immediately live fact checked this and found out that it was 600mil children 'had their health affected by' not 'died from' it. Jordan just dropped the topic like a stone and moved on. It was hilarious...
This has been one of the most refreshing videos ive seen in a long LONG time. Im incredibly impressed with the quality of intelligence in actually this whole channel if im honest. I recommend this channel to everyone now. Its so rare to find actually intelligent people who are also willing to put in the time it takes to cover these subjects properly. I would love to have that kind of patience. unfortunately this world has blackpilled me since i was a child and i hardly care to help anymore. but the clarity this kind of actually intelligent content brings to the DESPERATELY in need internet public... im in awe and actually inspired.
Absolutely brilliant
This needs a part 2. Jordan's brain has melted even further.
As someone who initially thought Peterson was reasonable and then realised he's full of shit. Having such an extensive (albeit short) video on all of his wrongdoing is really enjoyable. Thank you for doing 80% of the work so I only have to do 20% of the thinking.
Agreed. He seemed so rational when he was speaking within his area of expertise.
All you really need to know to realize that he is full of shit is that he got famous for telling kids to "clean their room" because personal responsibility and success starts with the basics. And then he became a benzo addict years later and had to go into an induced coma to recover from his addiction. Why didn't he just clean his room?
I had the exact same experience. I'm embarrassed now that I was ever impressed by him, and this short video mirrors very well my own perceptions of just how dangerous JP has become.
Same here.
Man this Jordan Peterson clearly thinks he's better than everyone, what a dick. Boy it felt so good to laugh at someone saying how stupid he was for 3 hours. It's definitely healthier to criticise someone personally rather than tribal ideals.
That clip of him talking about climate science has been the bane of my existence since it came out. He's not wrong just about climate science, he's wrong about the very concept of scientific modelling. The question of where this man's expertise lies is entirely moot - assuming he was being earnest in that short clip, no one should consider this man a scientific expert, even when it comes to his own field of study.
the mystery isn’t how he became a beloved public intellectual, it’s how he ever got an undergraduate degree in the first place
Yeah the more he said about that the more he pissed me off. The man would have failed a statistics foundation course yet he's out there lambasting climate scientists like he's the expert and not them.
One of the most inarticulate and ignorant discussions of the pros and cons of modeling I’ve ever heard. And yet he sits there and speaks with perfect confidence that his empty blathering is highly significant.
Especially his field of study! He lies about stuff we learn in literally the first semester. Not to mention scientific methodology as a whole. Disgusting traitor to his profession
"Global warming" or the climate change scare is certifiably false and easily proven as such. Actual, unmanipulated data shows that the Earth's climate has always changed and every projection of human's footprint has been completely wrong. It's a total scam for money, control and votes.
I can't thank you enough for laying all this out. 3-4 years ago I needed to hear 'Clean your room', because that kind of thing really does help when you're depressed. But then I quickly found myself scratching my head how he could just generalize or down right lie about things, to fit his narrative. Any time Rogan or any interviewer pushes back or questions something he said, his responses are always a non-answer, and if that gets called out, he get's all 'meta' and passive aggressive. The frustration on his face in these moments is quite like a dog with food aggression.
hey congratulations on growing, working on yourself and having continued to outgrow yourself (and Peterson). You rule.
Right? I had that too
same, sorta. got me hooked when i was going through a rough time and then at some point he posted something about cultural marxism. it looked off and conspiracy theory-y so i unsubbed and later found out it’s a literal nazi thing :/
I'm certainly glad Peterson didn't die from addiction, but it makes me wonder why he needed antidepressants in the first place. Shouldn't cleaning his room have helped? Peterson is a hack that sells generalized cures for over coming life's problems, without acknowledging that people have serious mental issues that no amount of cleaning can cure
@@Marc010 it’s so ironic that he could help people for real as a psychologist (if he gets one for himself first) but clearly he cares more about money and influence
For someone who reveres pride as a sin, Jordan Peterson certainly has a hard time swallowing his own
