It’s great to see that Joe Rogan can disagree with him and Jordan Peterson reacts politely and thinks about it. Where all the other interviews he is attacked out right and his point is sometimes lost ,in his subdued anger. He treats Joe Rogan as a friend having a conversation with different views. This is how shit should be worked out.
in fairness most of the other interviews which gets circulated are often TV. TV these days is really just about baiting, tricking and getting a reaction for ratings. While its true many on the internet look for clickbait. JR is above that, he doesn't need it.
@@eshedguitar it's impossible to fully satisfy desires, so therefore it's not a good goal, kinda how the original poster was saying just with slightly different phrasing

The thing is simple, we have to finally decide if we want to be a "tournament species" or a "pair-bonding species". Each one has its own pros and cons. Dr. Peterson favors pair-bonding because it invests more in offspring and yields more stable and peaceful societies.
@@risankati I am not an expert, though IMO, pair bonding societies repress basic human instincts and forget about natural selection a little bit too much . Two things that I'm more than willingly to give up in order to live in more stable an peaceful world.
@@xgRove279 yea, that makes sense. I have always wondered though about out natural instincts. It makes more sense to me that people are naturally monogamous. Just because our babies are so hard to take care of. And we need a mom and a dad at least to do that. Especially in the early days of people, the roles had to be divided. A woman by herself was never able to to take care of a baby or babies alone. Or a man by himself. So it never made sense to me why our natural instincts would favor multiple partners. Especially if you choose a good, healthy, strong one from the start. I don't know.
@Siyovaxsh En-sipad-zid-ana exactly. there has never in the history of man been a society that successfully encouraged monogamy, people just did shit on the down low. It’s like trying to discourage drug use. People are gonna do what they want and the only way to stop them is generally jail or death. Enforcing stuff that goes against instinct sets countries up for economic and social disaster. I’m not a virgin so maybe I’m less upset about it tho 😅

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also looking into this matter in a different perspective and without condemning of one`s point of view and trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and everyone`s valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say..

@@rosshewage6893 nope. Peterson has always said wealth and income inequality has to be controlled or there is violence In Society, through some redistribution. Sexual marketplace is exactly the same.

It's like saying get the poor a job each, does not mean get them all CEO jobs, the valuable ones will still get the CEO jobs

You do not go to jail for cheating on your husband or wife. And if you are hinting that divorce unfairly punishes males in this country I would wholeheartedly agree with you.
Right. He could say "culturally endorsed monogamy" or some other terminology, which would make his message clearer. However, I suspect he likes to keep it deliberately vague so he can enjoy a sort of persecution complex by the media.
D L, I agree. I have a brother that went through a divorce and it's ridiculous. Child support taking 25% of his take home even though he has 50/50 custody is also painful. But she is the one that cheated on him and he doesn't even know if his kids are his. My question is... why get married nowadays if the consequences are so one sided? I think there are a lot of younger people that aren't getting married because of what the government does.
Esquire, it wouldn't surprise me if it was deliberate. He seemed to relish the NY Times' apparent mistreatment of him as a badge of honor. It certainly raises his profile more than if he simply communicated fully what he meant.
Wut? He asked the exactly same point time and time again, without going further into the answer Jordan gave him, which is why this is one of the worse podcasts I've seen from him (I too generally like Joe, but this was so bad).
What missing from the conversation are the positives aspects of being in a monogamist relationship beyond raising children. It feels good to have someone who got your back no matter what, and having the feeling like you are in a team. Research backs this up, happily married couples are happier. I have been in a couple with a man for 17 years and we both grew as individuals because we supported each other. We don't have children and I still want to spend the rest of my life with him and I never think about cheating on him.
Also Peterson should’ve mentioned what he has said before about one having serial sex relations, having sex with numerous ppl to only have sex with them, is a bad habit in the long run not only for the possibility of children being raised in an unfavourable family structure but for the individual themselves it is indeed almost a gateway to psychopathy in a way, in the sense that the individual is detaching the humanity of the person from the act every time they simple use a person for nothing more than that. Effectively teaching them to dehumanise others.

"Could casual sex necessitate state tyranny? The missing responsibility has to be enforced somehow...." Dr Jordan Peterson, 11:51am - 17 Dec 2016 via @jordanbpeterson Twitter
When I first heard about the proposal of enforced monogamy by Jordan I agreed with him initially, especially because in my religion(Islam, 90%+ majority of the population), it is an obligatory duty of the parents to marry their sons and daughters as soon as they are eligible for mariage(according to the age of marriage present in the whatever country we may be talking about). But then I thought about it. There are plenty of men marrying women pretty early on as enforced by religion but the number of cases of marital rape and domestic violence is extremely high(and present at all ages). Turns out, enforced monogamy only lets those young men have sex legally without legal consequences. They never grow up. And the enforced marriages only contribute to further increases in population. Keep in mind this from the perspective of someone from a third world country, but the prevalence of discrimination and violence against woman in my country is undeniable. So I think the point that JP presents is very optimistic but probably unrealistic. As much as I feel weird to say this, I think Rogan is correct on this one. Enforced marriage does not really help if men don't grow up to be better human beings.
Thats why it has to be socially enforced. In a hyper patriarchal society like the middle east, women have 0 choice, and its bad for everyone. In the current hyper feminist society that we live in, men have 0 choice, and its bad for everyone. The optimal place seems to be in the middle, where the west was prior to the 1960s
Sure, but I think "encouraged" isn't even enough. Because if you use Jordan's example at the end of "I had multiple affairs, aren't I a good guy (or girl)?" And to discourage it would be "Well... I don't think it's a great idea in the longrun." I'd consider the idea that "Not only are you not a 'good' guy, but you're actually a pretty 'terrible' guy, a bad person. Stop!" On the latter, the term "culturally enforced" still seems appropriate to me.
"I don't know" is a great answer in some cases. If you watch some Peterson interviews from long ago he'd say this, adding that he hadn't yet fully thought it through so it would be better to not comment on it. Peterson needs to have someone video record all his interviews. After the journalist publishes his/her article then Peterson can upload the entire conversation to his youtube channel. This accomplishes a few things. Firstly, it allows people to check out whether Peterson or the journalist has played loosie goosie with the facts. Secondly, by knowing the entire conversation has been recorded it may stop the journalist from taking liberties. Thirdly, when the recording proves Peterson's claim that the journalist has taken things out context it increases Peterson's popularity.
@@joaodelgado6696 Jup and morons praise him for it. Admiting your own shortcomings is a good thing. Arguing, making up claims, then saying "I don't know" to critical answers and continuing with the same bullshit claims is not good. It is in bad faith and straight up manipulation.
I believe the point Peterson is trying to make is that there is a large section of the population that would have gotten married because of tradition etc
@@jimmyittycheria1868 That rational can be used to argue for sanctioned murder... so I think I'll pass. Its not about having all choices available its about guiding choice to maximize benefits to society. That's literally the point of society, free will and choice are dandy but encouraging people to make selfless choices is better.
@@leganzar7831 People will not make selfless choices for the benefit of the society just because someone tells them to, especially in the case of relationships. You cannot tell a person to be a part of a monogamous relationship if they are not happy with it. Mr. Peterson is talking about women like they are goods. Women will have a say on whether to be or not to be with someone. BTW, polygamy is not the reason some people aren't getting some. You do realize that the women who sleep with one man will also sleep with other men. The reason why some men aren't getting laid is because they actually don't know how to.
@@jimmyittycheria1868 Good people will, and you seem to be projecting your misconceptions on to the discussion. You're also building a straw man by framing your comment around enforcing being in a particular relationship. The idea isn't that we enforce staying in any one relationship its that the end goal of dating is to be in one relationship. Dr. Peterson isn't talking about women as if they are goods, he's talking about humans as if they are a resource. ... you know like a social scientist. The reason some men aren't getting laid is they're undesirable. There isn't "a way to get laid" , people are all different and making a connection with them requires fulfilling some desire that person has making them want to reciprocate fulfilling your desire.

@Spanish Moustache Okay, lets take incest as an example then. Alcohol and drugs are things you decide by yourself, and do to yourself. It is your body and you can decide what is best for you. Still there is a border. At the moment you become a danger for the people arround you, you can get arrested. The problem with incest (and less drastically, but in the same way with polygamy relationships) is that it does not only involve two adults making a choice for themselves, it also involves the life of a potential child. So you could say that the deed has a direct risk on the potential child that might come into being as a result of your deed. In that case you are crossing the same border as with alcohol and drugs: you become a danger for the people arround you. In which to me it seems sound to forbid it.
@Spanish Moustache There's always social pressure, why would sexuality be excluded. And how would it ever be excluded, sexuality is one of the things that are the most socially regulated. And for a good reason. You won't see a day when people would regard sexuality indifferently. Monogamy is the way to go in my opinion also, I hope people will keep to their senses and not lose that.
I agree with Jordan's point. In a monogamous society, a small percentage of the population remains "incel", let's say 10%. They won't harbour as much resentment because they don't resent happy couples, what they mostly resent are "chads", the top 10% who get all the women. In a monogamous society, even chads only get one girl. Sure, she may be the most attractive and cheerful one, but it's only one. In a polygamous society, the disparity grows between incel and Chad and the amount of incels grow considerably, making it a real problem. Which is why it's now becoming a problem and not, say, a century ago.
There was a study on sales people. They gave one group a small bonus for a group of above average performers and another a very big bonus for a very small group of the highest performers. In the latter group, total performance dropped, while in the former, there was a sin significant increase. The conclusions drawn from this study are that big rewards for a small amount of high performers demoralise the low performers ("what's the point of trying, I'm not going to get the bonus anyways"), while a small reward that reaches a large portion of the group motivates them ("I might have a chance at getting the bonus, if I try a little harder"). Sure, a big bonus is going to motivate the high performers to give their absolute best, but if we're going to keep the low performers with us, we should at least give them false hope or they're just going drag us down.
@@summermarshall2005 Nobody said it was women's* problem that men can't get laid. It's everyone's problem. What about people that can't get jobs? Jordan Peterson has made the argument that 10-15% of the population has too low an IQ (because IQ is a major factor in how complicated tasks a person can be trained to do) to get a real non-criminal job. The result of that has been that a lot of low IQ people become criminals. We have no obligation to employ people to do things they can't do or to do basically nothing, but we better figure out something to do about these people. Because otherwise the rest of us will have to be content with overcrowding prisons and high crime rates. Same for unattractive men. We're not obligated to do anything, but if we don't want them to become resentful towards the wider society, we should figure out something to relieve their despair.
@@summermarshall2005 It's not about getting laid. It's about having a chance at creating an intimate relationship that, if successful, would eventually lead to sex. It's a little something called hooking up. It's understandable how you would not see this, since Women don't struggle with this as much as Men do.
@@summermarshall2005 Because the guys who don't get laid tend to lash out and drive SUVs through crowds of people. We as a society are kinda stuck with everyone's concerns to a certain extent. Ignoring them certainly isn't a good strategy, and the only other one I can think of is killing them all, which I imagine most people wouldn't agree with.
@@carllagerfield4996 eeh...Rogan is high enough in the hierarchy that she might not feel the need. And besides it's common for women to cheat but still not a normality.
My wife met me when I was a homeless teenager with nothing to offer and my prospects never got much better. Now im disabled and am fighting to get social security at 31 so I've never had much to offer and she has remained faithful to me for all 14 years we've been together. Now she provides for us while I do my best to care for our child at home. I severely question what you consider a social norm for gender roles. Make no mistake I'm the hunter and protector but she's the provider so I don't know if there really is a standard. Of course this is anecdotal and just an opinion.
Your wife great person. The thing is that it is all in statistic. If you look into any studies about attractiveness it is always 60% of women have chosen this type of man, 20% this type and 10% this man. I am far from alpha when you exclude my athletic abilities (anxious, sensitive, introverted, nerdy) yet I was able to find girlfriend. But before that I had experienced so many rejections because majority of the women want something resembling an alpha (courageous, assertive, leader type). My gf is very well in 10% of women that actually like sensitive guys. It is all just matter of chance.
Lol this was kinda funny Joe: I had no idea what the term meant I'd never heard it, it's a psychological term Seconds later Peterson: She knew what the term meant, she's not stupid.
Peterson is right. Look at the stats on Tinder (which is basically polygamous at this point) and you’ll see that the top 20% of men get the same amount of matches as the bottom 80% combined. For women, it’s basically an even split. Nowadays, the majority of young couples meet their partners through online dating according to data My question is how can we ever expect society to function this way? How do we expect our people to do the evolutionary bare minimum, having children? We’re absolutely and totally screwed if this trend continues, and frankly it shows no signs of stopping
For anyone that’s unaware “enforced monogamy” is an anthropological term and the journalist who interviewed him was an anthropologist. Of just a quick search of the NYT database “enforced monogamy” is cited as a feminist ideal in a social science journal parading it as a solution for stable pair bonding and a catalyst for the EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN in the secular world Lol
Polygamy is having more than one spouse, not more than one wife. If we had a polygamous society it wouldn't just be men with multiple wives, it could also be women with multiple husbands.

@@brickgraims83 you know sometimes I feel bad for guys like this, they have so little self-confidence that they've given up trying to find a partner and now believe "all women only want rich CEO men, I only average man". Your life must be miserable
Basically. We all get to have a perfect sex partner and no one gets particularly hurt. Although the real men will still get more real women to actually reproduce with. But maybe that's not such a bad thing..? Maybe only 6's and above should be allowed to reproduce LMAO. But wait... If everyone is a 6 or above, then the 6's would now be "1's" in the new hierarchy. The hierarchy would just reform... So even then, the problem never gets solved. It's actually crazy the lengths you could go and never fix any of this. It's very complicated.
I think I figured it out the reason we need enforced monogamy is that society doesn't work if unattractive men don't contribute to so to use Joe's reference lebron can play basketball well but we still need someone to make the court and ball and play against him and if only lebron gets rewarded for his effort ws hy would anyone else try
It isn’t always that women are rejecting these men. There’s a huge problem with young people not having a single healthy relationship due to a generation growing more polygamous.
The problems Jordan addresses are absolute crucial in the way our society will function in the future. The need for monogamy is essential for a sustainable life, but I believe that the solutions to this problem are very hard to obtain, due to the complexities of our current society. I’m not sure what can be done to fix this, but I at least respect Jordan for creating a conversation to be thought about and discussed.
Rogan keeps talking about how the guy at the top will attract the most women. But IF you were to go back to societally enforced monogomy then what would happen is that the top man would basically.... climb the ladder if you will to see how high he can go. That is to say he'll have more sex and more sexual experiences. But another aspect of societally enforced monogamy is that the society will pressure the man into eventually "settling down" which he will at some point be forced to do or risk damaging his reuptation. Meaning the dominant males will eventually be forced into a bottle neck where they'll get married and that frees up any of the women he was going to be with after the fact to go look for other men and eventually settle.
To address Joe's inequality outcome analogy, polygamy is more like if some people in society are making lots of money and other people in society are simply making zero money. Well that's a problem, you can't have them making no money, or else they will riot. That's Jordan's point, I think.
I loved this, I think this is Joe at his best. JP went in to the convo confidently asserting that enforcing equal outcomes is always an evil thing. But through his thoughtful questioning, Joe was able to force him to realize that, at least when it comes to marriage, JP himself favors pursuing equal outcomes. I hope that JP took those thoughts with him after he left the studio, but even if he didn’t, the rest of us are left with something to think about, all presented in a simple and friendly manner. Good stuff.
JP said nothing about being in favor of equal outcome, and in fact, socially enforced monogamy does not create equal outcome. JP is in favor of equality of opportunity, and that is what socially enforced monogamy creates. In polygamous societies, only about 10-20% of men will have mating opportunity, while the rest will have none at all. That is too steep a hierarchy. There is no opportunity for anyone outside the top 10-20% of men. In monogamous societies, men who are lower on the dominance hierarchies can choose to better themselves and potentially create mating opportunities. This creates more stability in society at large - men are less likely to fight over mates. If JP was in favor of equal outcomes, then he would be championing incompetent men as mates the same way that feminists champion fat women. He doesn’t do that. Like he said, he does not believe in forcing women to choose suboptimal men. In a free monogamous society, it is up to men to optimize their own mating opportunities. It is up to them to build themselves up so that women actually choose them as their singular partner. If women are still rejecting a man in a society where monogamy is the social norm, than it’s the man’s fault. All JP is in favor of is equal opportunity.
@@seanodonnell429 I mean yeah that’s the conclusion he finally comes to, but he starts with saying that the reason there’s incels is because there isn’t enough monogamy, which just isn’t the case. Sure young adults experiment and date around and sleep with multiple people, but both men and woman are doing that, and often both are trying to get with the hottest people. Then that phase passes and they start looking for someone they are genuinely emotionally connected with. Hot men taking all the woman and long lasting polyamory are nonissues, and quite frankly have nothing to do with why incels can’t get girlfriends. I’m not sure if you just don’t know many incels or if it’s cause you’re one yourself but I have two that have been trying to get with me for awhile (one for 5 years) and it’s not their physical attraction that’s keeping me from dating them, nor is it me choosing other hotter guys. It’s because they’re assholes. They’re legitimately the rudest guys I know and see woman as objects that they deserve. And on top of that, despite the fact that they’re kinda desperate, they have the absolute highest standards. Somehow they think that even though they live with their parents, are super rude, have poor hygiene, and aren’t trying to get a job, they deserve a doting model. Quite frankly, the reason they can’t get a girlfriend isn’t cause all the women are taken, but because they don’t actually want to date the ones who are in their league. There’s plenty of woman out there that also can’t get a date, they just aren’t these 7-10/10s. These guys just refuse to accept that they don’t deserve the best. The advice we should be telling them is to lower their expectations, a lot.
First of all, I am not an incel, and your passive aggressive insinuation was uncalled for. Second of all, I am sorry that you’ve had to deal with harassment from incels. That community is reprehensible, and their attitude and behavior towards women is inexcusable. These are men that do not deserve mates, period. Women are smart to reject them because they are weak, toxic, narcissistic vermin. Having said that, JP never said that incels exist BECAUSE of the existence of polyamory in our society. In fact, in any direct reference he makes to them, he condemns them. He points out multiple times that if a man is rejected by all women, then it is his responsibility to look to his own inadequacies and put the work in to improve. The point that he does make is that polygamous societies tilt towards violence, and they do for several reasons. It stems from fact that women are hypergamous and tend to flock towards men in the top 5-10 percent of dominance hierarchies. And there is plenty of evidence to suggest this. You need only look at the stats on dating apps and hookup culture. I don’t what why you said it’s a non-issue, but that’s completely false. Now, there is nothing inherently wrong with women being attracted to the top shelf guys. In fact, women’s sexual selectivity has benefited our species greatly from an evolutionary perspective. The trouble with polygamous societies is that the men who do have access to women treat them as disposable pleasures. They use them for sex, then kick them to the curb. Why? Because they can. The women are allowing it and even encouraging it indirectly by throwing themselves at these men. Then when they get tossed out, they are left embittered and resenting all men because the men they choose are narcissistic and psychopathic. Meanwhile, the other 90 percent of men are without mating opportunities. Men are deeply incentivized on a biological level to mate. This drives everything from healthy competition and productive work to violent jealous outrages. If there are no structures in place to prevent men from stealing each other’s partners, then they tend to get aggressive with each other. I’m not saying that’s right, but that’s what happens. Also, having families incentives men to keep society stable and safe. If the vast majority of men don’t have a family, they have no incentive to keep society stable. I think the vast majority of people push back on the idea of enforced monogamy because the term invokes an image of a totalitarian society where women are stripped of their autonomy, ripped from their families and forced to mate with undesirable men. This is not what it means at all. It simply means that we culturally celebrate the choice to have one stable monogamous relationship and discourage cheating.
Everyone having one wife is not an equal outcome. Because not every woman is the same. You still have a mechanism for reward for a good man, he gets a good woman. But with dollars, an equal amount for everyone is equal outcome because all dollars are the same.
@@seanodonnell429But by hurling abuses at all men who may technically be incels, you are adding to the reasons why they become hateful, misogynistic in the first place. The society should not be shunning these men by hurling abuses at them if they can't find girlfriends. The only solution for them is society being empathetic, and making them realize that there's nothing wrong with not having a girlfriend. They should focus their time and efforts on improving themselves, which will in turn make them more happier and less hateful and misogynistic. For this to happen, society also has to accept that if there are men who don't have a girlfriend, but they are successful and happy in their lives, they shouldn't be shunned and hurled abuses at. So, the solution to the incel problem is both internal to the incels looking at improving themselves and becoming less miserable. And, the society accepting them as people, and not degrading them as degenerates
So if we should reign polygamy ( sexual inequality) with enforced monogamy "to provide stable circumstances for children". Wouldn't that same argument work for reign in wealth inequality???
So basically his point is that children of broken homes, or least separated parents are more statistically likely to lead a troubled adult life resulting in the destabilization of society?
No, I think he was trying to come up with a solution to combat the fact that a lot of men are lonely and his best guess is enforced monogamy which is imo a very poor attempt at fixing the problem because it just causes many new ones, he should have just admitted that it was a bad idea instead of being afraid of looking wrong on the podcast which is why I think he didnt want to admit it
@@brady2075 I do agree, but giving opinions that limit peoples freedoms where it is not needed imo is just as bad, and im not trying to justify not solving these problems but we have lived generations with these same problems and we seem to be doing relatively fine, fine enough to still be able to fix them, it seems that as of late people have been slowly turning their minds towards problems like this so I think everything is going to be ok, I just hope we start waking up about climate change
@@bro4539 Hmmm, I think I agree with what you are saying, I would need statistics to completely solidify these thoughts but there has been a sexual liberation movement I do agree with that, and a movement towards consequence free sex which includes apps and websites in this new age of the internet so yes, good points

Funny that Joe mentions professional sports, where I'm pretty sure an athlete has to sign a contract and be in only 1 team and win only 1 spot in the end, basically an enforced monogamy. I wonder how long a sports organization would last if an athlete could be in any amount of teams they wanted and could win 1st, 2nd and 3rd place at the same time? imagine 8 out of 10 football teams being the same lineup and the same person getting all the money in every competition? Sound like it would demotivate a bunch of potential athletes, why should they go into this sport if the have a close to 0% change to ever achieve anything?
I come from a country with a forced/encouraged monogamy culture so I can weigh in on this a bit: One thing that happens a lot in my country is parents tell their children all through their development "one day you're gonna be a husband (or wife), have kids, you should prepare for that both financially and as a person." They tell the kids what virtues and skills they're going to need to be a good father/mother, husband/wife. It does work in curing the incel problem and prepping people for marriage, it's just unfortunate that "my" people have a really fucked up sense of morality so it creates A LOT of very toxic households.
I come from the place where casual dating and fucking around is the norm. Trust me its not that much better in the long run. All even moderately attractive women are ran through. You cant find a 25 year old. which had less than 10 sexual partners before. With each that parner, one night stand or relationship. They bring with them psychological issues. So we have a shit show of trust issues, cheating out of boredom, failure to value what you have in the situation and so much more, bitterness from less successful men, who dont want, feel like its unfair to date a woman or settle with a woman who had a lot more partners than they, pretty much a big clusterfuck of lonely, fucked up people. Especially in 30s, when most women decide that they want to have a family and pool of willing mates shrink, cause most men dont want to settle or dont want to settle with them and on top, everyone carries lots of psychological issues, men and women with them and even if people find each other, the relationshits dont last long or dont last without cheating, lying and manipulation. Overall forced marriage isnt good and does not sound great, but promiscious sexual society isnt either.
@@wanderingstar5270 Yes if you take in the context of the argument he was making and the conversation as a whole, it was indeed obvious that he was not talking about legal mandates.
That just insinuates that the guy is attractive looking or something (rich or good with women or whatever). That is just common sense. I am not talking about that, I mean a woman who doesn’t find a guy attractive at all then she finds out he had a lot of exes and that idea own itself is attractive to her. That is just annoying and immature. that if you are not some player then women wouldn’t find you attractive. I guess most of these women are insecure and immature anyways
@@TheDionysianFields Happens to all of us, physical attraction can only last for so long before you just decide: "fuck this person." I've met beautiful women, and crushed hardcore but then listening to them be sloppy assholes completely turns me off.
@@mazymetric8267 Yeah, I meant after they started having a choice. There's still enough of a timeline there to establish a pattern/tradition. Not that I've claimed that they did.
That was an interesting discussion to watch. Here's an supposition that might he worth examining: The sexually successful man who only wants casual sex with a bunch of women is actually losing by doing so; finding a woman who is personally compelling enough to dominate a man's attention is actually more desirable than casual sex with multiple women.
Joe is quit dumb on this one. If we don't have a civilization based on monogomy, marriage and family, We will lose the whole system just like in past history. Families keep communities strong.
I was married and i have two children with this woman. We separated and both started to date other people. I got, surprisingly to myself, jealous. Then i checked it out, confronted it and healed that emotional issue and now i see different women, that have other relationships and i m now at peace. A personal experience that i went through is showing me the way. Heal the insecurities, and then mating becomes so a joy with no more drama. If the children involved have the presence, love and support of their parents exactly when they need it, and if they live in a healthy community, were the parents can are around, instead of being kidnapped by the schedule of the society plans, they would grow into healthy human beings with much traumas then the isolated children that live with monogamous parents im the present situations that our society propose
@@fe5018 Yeah I was about to say there are plenty of people in America who came here SPECIFICALLY to escape societies with militantly enforced monogamy. I'm sure there are plenty of young women who have fled their homes to escape abusive arranged marriages that would not interpret "enforced monogamy" the way Peterson meant it, but instead of acknowledging he could have done a better job with phrasing when addressing a non-academic audience Peterson blames everyone around him for being stupid (even after Rogan tries to get him to read the room) which pretty much sums up who he is as a person.
@@Ryan-nm8pw Yeah right, even when Jordan is given a softball pitch clarifying question he spins off into even grander claims purposefully designed to get the backlash he is looking for and clarifies nothing. His shtick doesn't work if he can't portray himself as a victim, which is extremely ironic.
I must live in an other world entirely. Never met another women who have chosen their boyfriend/husband based on hypergamy. Everyone around me is together with someone that has the same status or lower status.
Joe makes a good connection between 'enforced monogamy' and 'equality of outcome.' That's the crux of the matter that people wanted to ask Peterson, and Joe did ask it.
I wouldn't say that's equality of outcome though. It's equality of opportunity. If it's a mathematical fact that most men will miss out, as they would in a polygamous society, that is not equal opportunity.
@@spockskynet I think this discussion is fundamentally flawed because it's failing to recognize that poly women often have multiple male partners. I'm monogamous personally, and happily married, but I have female friends who have several boyfriends/lovers, and sometimes a husband too. I don't think it creates less opportunity for anyone, it's just not for me.
@@candi6642 Poly women in a monogamous society is completely different than having a polygamous society. Men are less selective maters than women. That means more women will gravitate towards the top men and most men will be left without sexual or romantic opportunity
Jordan Peterson is a brilliant man...IN HIS FIELD. When it comes to some of these topics, he seems to be no more informed than any other person except his vocabulary is particularly well rounded. Talking about enforced monogamy is barely one step away from enforced heterosexuality as far as I see.
It’s not though. Also it was made obvious that JP hasn’t thought through his ideas and taken them to their logical conclusions. In the end he is a quack and christian apologist and these things inform his views more than research in the fields he pretends to be an expert in.
I'm afraid you're wrong. Most of western society and much of eastern is in the state of enforced monogamy. We don't allow marriages to multiple people at once and it has worked better than polygamous societies. If you're thinking that he somehow wants to force women into something, you're wrong
@@SeaCowsBeatLobsters he did.. although here the argument was weak but this is a small segment of a large video. And he is right, the most successful societies do have monogamy as a default setting
I don't agree with Joe Rogan. It's easy to call incels "unattractive" to women, but they don't start that way. People aren't born with toxic attitudes about women and sexuality. They get pushed there by the frustration and despair at being unable to find a partner, either through attributes that aren't in their control (genes control your height, your face, your metabolism, all things that contribute to physical attractiveness), or attributes that ARE in their control, but just aren't taught to young men by our society. Showing dominance has been retooled as "toxic masculinity." Being confident and approaching women is now termed "sexual harassment". I agree with Jordan Peterson that a polygamous society helps create incels. Casual hookups and open relationships are extremely common today. With online dating becoming the norm, it's easy for women to swipe left on a man that's only 5' 8". Compare this to a physical interaction, where a man approaches a woman in a social setting. A woman isn't going to "swipe left" on a guy that they're talking with face-to-face, even if they're meeting for the very first time. Even if she's not immediately attracted to him, a pleasant conversation can change that. All that disappears with online dating. You can really see what Jordan Peterson is talking about through the perspective of online dating. Men who don't have the idealized face and body get swiped left on. The most attractive men are usually the ones that horde all of the matches.
It's ironic that Joe Rogan uses the examples of sports and business as a counter point to Peterson's argument considering that both the sports and business worlds have rules and contracts. Why then is it so unpalatable to Rogan to think of rules (monogamy) and contracts (marriage) in the world of romantic relationships?
Because he's a sexual deviant and desperately wants to internally justify cheating on his wife by labeling himself as a "sexual winner" rather than a cheat.
Wow, Rogan had the balls to completely clash with Peterson on the issue of enforced monogamy. That’s actually so impressive that he pushed Peterson intellectually on that point.
Joe should come visit my town, 60% of women have 2-3 kids all from different men. Most of them are still single or with a new guy that isn't the father to any of their children. I can tell you that sure as hell isn't good for the kids.
@@marionow6227 It is not hard to find out wether a man is husband material or not, she WANTED to date the bad boy because he was a turn on. That is what happens when you follow your animalistic desires and don't think
@@reezis1619 people are short sighted, if that is what you mean. Especially when they fall in love and later find out that this person is different then they expected. Happens to all of us. Only some people are more short sighted then others, due to many reasons.
Enforced monogamy seems like the idea is to take choice away from women. Ultimately monogamy will occur more often if men are better people and “mates”
Behind-every-successful-man-there-stands-a-woman definition. A man 's achievements are made possible by the support and work of their wife or female partner. Women just grew to be a bit too selfish. I don't know much about monogamy and stuff.. I know that females went for alpha male through humanity's history and the alpha male impregnated them all.. Now I don't know how much benefit came from monogamy when it was popular.. if there was any boom in progress or something.. but sure I would be much happier and more productive if I had a partner that I would be love-dovey with.
They need to become "men" first and foremost. Now, what that nebulous shyster expression actually means and what advice would one give, completely befuddles me, but nevertheless, they need to "man up". Also, watch out for that clearly defined "toxic masculinity".
i don't think joe understands that there are some guys out there that are simply unattractive no matter how much they learn, grow or "become men". Whether it's their vibe, they way they look or whatever, there are some guys who behave like men, make all the right moves, learned how to attract women and still see no progress because they are simply not attractive
@@BodhiGeraci People getting married and staying married has been on the decline for decades. Look back at the 1950s where people got married in their 20s and stayed married for life. People on average had more sex than they do now and not by coincidence were happier. We are now living in a type of "hook up culture" where people meet at bars or tinder and have sex. Many women are hooking up with the same "alpha" guys so even though they are not in polygamist marriage they are in polygamist relationships.
Enforced monogamy is necessary. 4 years later it looks like Jordan was thrown off guard because he never questioned his own fundamental belief in that way. He's right children are the only answer. The reason 1 guy being the king of dating multiple women is a problem is because it creates a culture in which we are not all working together for a better future of society but rather enjoying the temporary leisures that benefit no one but yourself. Multiple women will only want men at the top and unfortunately for 1 man to be at the top there has to be many men at the bottom. These men become useless in creating a strong next generation of the human race where each home should be raising a family that will follow in the footsteps. I believe in todays society we truly desire the luxuries and leisures of life which is completely natural. However, life is give and take. And todays culture is a lot about taking but not giving. Giving is not charity. Giving is the trade for taking. And if there is a disproportionate level of give and take then eventually the resources and energy creating the commodities we all want will crumble and fall apart because the mechanism that generates those commodities are only concerned with taking the commodities and not generating. So to tie the ideas together, dating for fun and not having children is a personal choice. Culturally enforced monogamy would be an example of a humanity choice. We as a society need a balance of the two. And in that balance we should all take some responsibility to contribute to the next generation. Without responsibility we doom ourselves in our elderly years and we doom our societies future entirely. However Men need to be encouraged to be the best version of themselves for the better of society. This will not only be obviously good for society but at the same time make the average man much more desirable to women today. Women that are 5s don't want men that are 5s. And most men at 5 will be happy with a woman whos a 5. So if that man was just much more desirable they could easily find common ground.
Enforced monogamy = lowering the standards meaning more men who previously didn't have a chance now have a chance and JP is ok with that but try telling him we should lower academic standards so more people enter university or lowering the standards for high paying jobs so more people can have 6 figure salaries and all of a sudden JP is against the idea.
If more people enter universities, it does not translate into more people making 6 figure salaries, as money is a relative thing. If more people have more money, it just ends up having less value. The other option would be to let the people battle for the 6 figure income after they finished uni, and the same amount of people will get that 6 figure income, but half of them would have studied for nothing an be in dept (if it's usa)
Enforced monogamy is not lowering the standard. The most desirable men will still be the most desirable and women can still choose to pursue them, they will just face consequences just as men do for aiming so high with little effort on their part thanks to polygamy and men's lower standards. If anything monogamy encourages women to compete as men do.
Education should have high standards, do you want an uneducated doctor perform a high risk surgery on you? It can not be compared to marriage and formation of family.
@@etf42 Well, hypergamy IS bad, and shouldn't be respected.
5 років тому+2
Hypergamy tends to be demonized by men but in truth it’s just a reflection of basic biological behavior. Men tend to want to mate with and settle down with physically attractive young women who can provide them with healthy children and do basic duties to help a man’s life to be disciplined. Women tend to want to do the same but with a man who has power or assets, in addition to the fact that they don’t believe in selling themselves short because there’s a lot of risk in getting pregnant and raising children. Therefore you don’t see hot fertile women marrying homeless uneducated and unattractive men 15 years their younger with nothing to contribute. In modern times, the men are attracted to visual beauty and health/women are attracted to stability and power dynamic manifests itself in financial power, therefore men who are able to bring a lot of money home and put in the hard work and drive in order to attain that. A man who sits around all day and fails to bring home a stable flow of money is basically useless to a woman, since his value is dependent on his actions and what he can do to provide for his wife and family. The man’s role has always been and will always be to provide income, no matter how society changes and how women go out to work as well. Those who whine about this basic system of attraction and style of function in marriage are those who are on the losing side of hypergamy because women don’t see value in them due to their inability to satisfy bringing home a lot of money so they can live in comfort. Don’t hate on women or the system, since it’s an equal standard of expectation from both sides. Just as long as you are able to bring home more dough than her (not too difficult to do unless if she’s a manager at some big company) then she’s satisfied. Get off your asses and prove that you can make something of yourself and bring yourself to your fullest potential in success and women will be attracted to that quality in you.
There are a few problems with hypergamy. First it can only really be applied to women that want children. Personally, I don't want them and therefore I won't be in the very vulnerable position of having and raising children and I won't need to look for a man with many resources to provide for me. Instead I get to choose my partner based on how comfortable I am around them so I can be my true self. And that's the second problem with the hypergamy discussion. Often it simplifies people to there most basic animal instincts and thanks to our very developed frontal cortex we're more than that. Resource acquisition does factor in for women looking for a mate to have children with, but I'd argue how well you get along with that person is a bit more important. Come on. Who doesn't want to feel understood. Someone should ask Peterson why he thinks his wife decided to be with him. Does he really think it's just because he was her best path to the most resources. I highly doubt it. I agree that many women want more resources for their children and many men want to sleep with plenty of attractive women (btw men also want women with resources and women also want to sleep with many attractive men. Yet another problem with this argument. It's way too black and white) but we're way more complex than that.
If someone has made this comment already then I apologize. I haven't read everything. Joe keeps saying he doesn't understand how culturally enforced monogamy helps incels. They both agreed that the solution is for men to get their act together, but Joe still didn't see the connection between the two subjects, and I think that's because of one thing that Dr. Peterson didn't explicitly state, but heavily implied. In their defense it isn't a shallow subject. The connection is that if most men are being beaten so badly at the "game" of attracting women that they have zero chance, then there is little incentive to try. If the norm is monogamy then they have increased opportunities to find a mate, and they will be more motivated to get their lives in order. This will still be mostly true if some people deviate from the norm. As long as you don't have one sultan with 1,000 wives, and 999 men with absolutely no chance whatsoever at ever finding a mate. That's what you want to avoid. Most men will clean themselves up, work hard, and accept responsibility if they see a reasonable chance of success. There will always be some men who are highly desirable with lots of partners, and some men who are not desirable who need to make positive changes to become desirable. Culturally enforced monogamy just means they at least most men have a chance to play the game. Dr. Peterson has pointed out many times that if too large a number of people can't play the game, then they stop playing. The consequences of that aren't good for anyone. I say this not to trivialize, but someone who feels excluded from the social game, and the dating game, and the game of life in general who becomes resentful may choose to, "flip the chess board over", and that may take the form of a school shooting, or other horrific act. At least that's my understanding of what they were trying to get at with this conversation.
You mean it comes down to having more women availiable if the culture was an enforced mongamy ? So the 'low value' women will then not anymore be able to date 'up' as the men who are more attractive relatively are already taken by the higher value women, which then results in the pretty females have no one else to settle for than an incel? Is that what you mean? *I mistyped some words if you see this message in your email or so - so please read again*
It's kind of annoying to have people blaming me for being an Incel, saying I'm not a real man. I work hard, own my own property, have friends but apparently I'm not a real man. It's not my frigging fault I was born unattractive.
@AdolphHipster You say grinding sarcastically yet you simultaneously tell him to start lifting. I'm talking about grinding in the context of physical health, mental strength, knowledge, social skills and fashion. Don't be so hopeless
I have always been considered attractive, and was used to woman acting weird and guys acting weird around me, and I enjoyed the spoils but never really appreciated it. Then I got wounded, on my face. I took care of it, and now have a minor scar I have bearded over. But I learned a lot over that 6 month period. I appreciate things more, and have greater empathy.
what they don't talk about is the natural evolutionary aspect of the situation: better and better looking people are naturally pushed to be preferrable sexual partners in order to improve the overall health, intelligence, looks, attitude and strength of the population, generation by generation. Edit: fun fact, I wrote this comment when I was at 10:12 of the video, literally as soon as I resumed watching Peterson talked about this aspect Edit 2: I still find myself disagreeing with what Peterson said because sure, evolution might lean the population to a slight poligamy, but in the long term this would improve the overall quality of the population hence reducing the need for poligamy because every individual would be a good sexual candidate at that point.
Go to any college campus or high school and you will see a polygamist society😂. That’s where all these intel’s come from. Many of them aren’t middle age men they’re adolescents.
I agree with JP based on size of population opportunity, and the internet, mixed with the fact we are not more evolved than we were 10,000 years ago. We wouldn’t have access to a thousand mates, let alone millions. People took what they got. And basic psychology has shown again and again that more choices make us miserable.
Jordan is out of his league in this conversation because he’s not an alpha male. He’s not the type of man who attracts many women so he can’t really speak to it. Fidelity is NOT the norm with an above 60% admitted infidelity rate. Monogamy is NOT the norm for human beings. Joe made a great point about Jordan attempting to enforce equality of outcomes here when he’s against it in the job world. This is what happens when your emotions and religious beliefs get in the way of sound analysis and objectivity.
@shaska ocelot Great points and thanks for sharing the stats. I’m guessing Joe’s point was that you can’t artificially regulate mating or even family dynamics. The single, childless epidemic is probably more due to natural selection and evolution than leftist policies. Forcing women to marry low value men will just increase broken families and further damage children. Just speculating here.
It’s great to see that Joe Rogan can disagree with him and Jordan Peterson reacts politely and thinks about it. Where all the other interviews he is attacked out right and his point is sometimes lost ,in his subdued anger. He treats Joe Rogan as a friend having a conversation with different views.

The thing is simple, we have to finally decide if we want to be a "tournament species" or a "pair-bonding species". Each one has its own pros and cons. Dr. Peterson favors pair-bonding because it invests more in offspring and yields more stable and peaceful societies.

@@xgRove279 yea, that makes sense. I have always wondered though about out natural instincts. It makes more sense to me that people are naturally monogamous. Just because our babies are so hard to take care of. And we need a mom and a dad at least to do that. Especially in the early days of people, the roles had to be divided. A woman by herself was never able to to take care of a baby or babies alone. Or a man by himself. So it never made sense to me why our natural instincts would favor multiple partners. Especially if you choose a good, healthy, strong one from the start. I don't know.
@Siyovaxsh En-sipad-zid-ana exactly. there has never in the history of man been a society that successfully encouraged monogamy, people just did shit on the down low.

You do not go to jail for cheating on your husband or wife. And if you are hinting that divorce unfairly punishes males in this country I would wholeheartedly agree with you.
Right. He could say "culturally endorsed monogamy" or some other terminology, which would make his message clearer. However, I suspect he likes to keep it deliberately vague so he can enjoy a sort of persecution complex by the media.
D L, I agree. I have a brother that went through a divorce and it's ridiculous. Child support taking 25% of his take home even though he has 50/50 custody is also painful. But she is the one that cheated on him and he doesn't even know if his kids are his. My question is... why get married nowadays if the consequences are so one sided? I think there are a lot of younger people that aren't getting married because of what the government does.
Raja, I wonder if the term he used is psychologist jargon? Also, I don't think he did that on purpose, it didn't turn out very well for him.

What missing from the conversation are the positives aspects of being in a monogamist relationship beyond raising children. It feels good to have someone who got your back no matter what, and having the feeling like you are in a team. Research backs this up, happily married couples are happier. I have been in a couple with a man for 17 years and we both grew as individuals because we supported each other. We don't have children and I still want to spend the rest of my life with him and I never think about cheating on him.
Also Peterson should’ve mentioned what he has said before about one having serial sex relations, having sex with numerous ppl to only have sex with them, is a bad habit in the long run not only for the possibility of children being raised in an unfavourable family structure but for the individual themselves it is indeed almost a gateway to psychopathy in a way, in the sense that the individual is detaching the humanity of the person from the act every time they simple use a person for nothing more than that. Effectively teaching them to dehumanise others.

When I first heard about the proposal of enforced monogamy by Jordan I agreed with him initially, especially because in my religion(Islam, 90%+ majority of the population), it is an obligatory duty of the parents to marry their sons and daughters as soon as they are eligible for mariage(according to the age of marriage present in the whatever country we may be talking about).
But then I thought about it. There are plenty of men marrying women pretty early on as enforced by religion but the number of cases of marital rape and domestic violence is extremely high(and present at all ages). Turns out, enforced monogamy only lets those young men have sex legally without legal consequences. They never grow up. And the enforced marriages only contribute to further increases in population. Keep in mind this from the perspective of someone from a third world country, but the prevalence of discrimination and violence against woman in my country is undeniable.
So I think the point that JP presents is very optimistic but probably unrealistic. As much as I feel weird to say this, I think Rogan is correct on this one. Enforced marriage does not really help if men don't grow up to be better human beings.
Thats why it has to be socially enforced. In a hyper patriarchal society like the middle east, women have 0 choice, and its bad for everyone. In the current hyper feminist society that we live in, men have 0 choice, and its bad for everyone. The optimal place seems to be in the middle, where the west was prior to the 1960s
It essentially only placates temporarily at the expense of women.

Yeah just say "encourage" instead of "enforced" - dispute solved.
Sure, but I think "encouraged" isn't even enough. Because if you use Jordan's example at the end of "I had multiple affairs, aren't I a good guy (or girl)?" And to discourage it would be "Well... I don't think it's a great idea in the longrun." I'd consider the idea that "Not only are you not a 'good' guy, but you're actually a pretty 'terrible' guy, a bad person. Stop!" On the latter, the term "culturally enforced" still seems appropriate to me.

"I don't know" is a great answer in some cases. If you watch some Peterson interviews from long ago he'd say this, adding that he hadn't yet fully thought it through so it would be better to not comment on it.
Peterson needs to have someone video record all his interviews. After the journalist publishes his/her article then Peterson can upload the entire conversation to his youtube channel. This accomplishes a few things. Firstly, it allows people to check out whether Peterson or the journalist has played loosie goosie with the facts. Secondly, by knowing the entire conversation has been recorded it may stop the journalist from taking liberties. Thirdly, when the recording proves Peterson's claim that the journalist has taken things out context it increases Peterson's popularity.

Mr. Peterson is talking about women like they are goods. Women will have a say on whether to be or not to be with someone.
BTW, polygamy is not the reason some people aren't getting some. You do realize that the women who sleep with one man will also sleep with other men.
The reason why some men aren't getting laid is because they actually don't know how to.

@Spanish Moustache But then why is polygamy (and also incest) forbidden and criminalised in most countries?
@Spanish Moustache Okay, lets take incest as an example then. Alcohol and drugs are things you decide by yourself, and do to yourself. It is your body and you can decide what is best for you. Still there is a border. At the moment you become a danger for the people arround you, you can get arrested.
The problem with incest (and less drastically, but in the same way with polygamy relationships) is that it does not only involve two adults making a choice for themselves, it also involves the life of a potential child. So you could say that the deed has a direct risk on the potential child that might come into being as a result of your deed. In that case you are crossing the same border as with alcohol and drugs: you become a danger for the people arround you. In which to me it seems sound to forbid it.
@Spanish Moustache There's always social pressure, why would sexuality be excluded. And how would it ever be excluded, sexuality is one of the things that are the most socially regulated. And for a good reason. You won't see a day when people would regard sexuality indifferently. Monogamy is the way to go in my opinion also, I hope people will keep to their senses and not lose that.
@Spanish Moustache I agree as long as your not having sex with a family member, a child or an animal.
Be precise in your speech
Why do they keep referring to this man as a man, his name is chad
And beyond him lies the Chad of Chads.
*_G I G A C H A D_*
I agree with Jordan's point. In a monogamous society, a small percentage of the population remains "incel", let's say 10%. They won't harbour as much resentment because they don't resent happy couples, what they mostly resent are "chads", the top 10% who get all the women. In a monogamous society, even chads only get one girl. Sure, she may be the most attractive and cheerful one, but it's only one. In a polygamous society, the disparity grows between incel and Chad and the amount of incels grow considerably, making it a real problem. Which is why it's now becoming a problem and not, say, a century ago.
There was a study on sales people. They gave one group a small bonus for a group of above average performers and another a very big bonus for a very small group of the highest performers. In the latter group, total performance dropped, while in the former, there was a sin
significant increase.
The conclusions drawn from this study are that big rewards for a small amount of high performers demoralise the low performers ("what's the point of trying, I'm not going to get the bonus anyways"), while a small reward that reaches a large portion of the group motivates them ("I might have a chance at getting the bonus, if I try a little harder").
Sure, a big bonus is going to motivate the high performers to give their absolute best, but if we're going to keep the low performers with us, we should at least give them false hope or they're just going drag us down.
Why should we care that some young men can’t get laid? Why should we do anything to make them happy? It’s their problem, not womens.
@@summermarshall2005 Nobody said it was women's* problem that men can't get laid. It's everyone's problem.
What about people that can't get jobs? Jordan Peterson has made the argument that 10-15% of the population has too low an IQ (because IQ is a major factor in how complicated tasks a person can be trained to do) to get a real non-criminal job. The result of that has been that a lot of low IQ people become criminals.
We have no obligation to employ people to do things they can't do or to do basically nothing, but we better figure out something to do about these people. Because otherwise the rest of us will have to be content with overcrowding prisons and high crime rates.
Same for unattractive men. We're not obligated to do anything, but if we don't want them to become resentful towards the wider society, we should figure out something to relieve their despair.
@@summermarshall2005 It's not about getting laid. It's about having a chance at creating an intimate relationship that, if successful, would eventually lead to sex. It's a little something called hooking up. It's understandable how you would not see this, since Women don't struggle with this as much as Men do.
@@summermarshall2005 Because the guys who don't get laid tend to lash out and drive SUVs through crowds of people.
We as a society are kinda stuck with everyone's concerns to a certain extent. Ignoring them certainly isn't a good strategy, and the only other one I can think of is killing them all, which I imagine most people wouldn't agree with.

Peterson is right. Look at the stats on Tinder (which is basically polygamous at this point) and you’ll see that the top 20% of men get the same amount of matches as the bottom 80% combined. For women, it’s basically an even split. Nowadays, the majority of young couples meet their partners through online dating according to data
My question is how can we ever expect society to function this way? How do we expect our people to do the evolutionary bare minimum, having children? We’re absolutely and totally screwed if this trend continues, and frankly it shows no signs of stopping
honestly, I do not believe that for women it is an even split tho. maybe half as distorted as ours.

Basically. We all get to have a perfect sex partner and no one gets particularly hurt. Although the real men will still get more real women to actually reproduce with. But maybe that's not such a bad thing..? Maybe only 6's and above should be allowed to reproduce LMAO. But wait... If everyone is a 6 or above, then the 6's would now be "1's" in the new hierarchy. The hierarchy would just reform... So even then, the problem never gets solved. It's actually crazy the lengths you could go and never fix any of this. It's very complicated.
I think I figured it out the reason we need enforced monogamy is that society doesn't work if unattractive men don't contribute to so to use Joe's reference lebron can play basketball well but we still need someone to make the court and ball and play against him and if only lebron gets rewarded for his effort ws hy would anyone else try
It isn’t always that women are rejecting these men. There’s a huge problem with young people not having a single healthy relationship due to a generation growing more polygamous.
Do you want a stable society or a free society?
The problems Jordan addresses are absolute crucial in the way our society will function in the future. The need for monogamy is essential for a sustainable life, but I believe that the solutions to this problem are very hard to obtain, due to the complexities of our current society. I’m not sure what can be done to fix this, but I at least respect Jordan for creating a conversation to be thought about and discussed.
Rogan keeps talking about how the guy at the top will attract the most women. But IF you were to go back to societally enforced monogomy then what would happen is that the top man would basically.... climb the ladder if you will to see how high he can go. That is to say he'll have more sex and more sexual experiences. But another aspect of societally enforced monogamy is that the society will pressure the man into eventually "settling down" which he will at some point be forced to do or risk damaging his reuptation. Meaning the dominant males will eventually be forced into a bottle neck where they'll get married and that frees up any of the women he was going to be with after the fact to go look for other men and eventually settle.
To address Joe's inequality outcome analogy, polygamy is more like if some people in society are making lots of money and other people in society are simply making zero money. Well that's a problem, you can't have them making no money, or else they will riot. That's Jordan's point, I think.

I loved this, I think this is Joe at his best. JP went in to the convo confidently asserting that enforcing equal outcomes is always an evil thing. But through his thoughtful questioning, Joe was able to force him to realize that, at least when it comes to marriage, JP himself favors pursuing equal outcomes. I hope that JP took those thoughts with him after he left the studio, but even if he didn’t, the rest of us are left with something to think about, all presented in a simple and friendly manner. Good stuff.
JP said nothing about being in favor of equal outcome, and in fact, socially enforced monogamy does not create equal outcome.
JP is in favor of equality of opportunity, and that is what socially enforced monogamy creates.
In polygamous societies, only about 10-20% of men will have mating opportunity, while the rest will have none at all. That is too steep a hierarchy. There is no opportunity for anyone outside the top 10-20% of men.
In monogamous societies, men who are lower on the dominance hierarchies can choose to better themselves and potentially create mating opportunities. This creates more stability in society at large - men are less likely to fight over mates.
If JP was in favor of equal outcomes, then he would be championing incompetent men as mates the same way that feminists champion fat women. He doesn’t do that. Like he said, he does not believe in forcing women to choose suboptimal men.
In a free monogamous society, it is up to men to optimize their own mating opportunities. It is up to them to build themselves up so that women actually choose them as their singular partner. If women are still rejecting a man in a society where monogamy is the social norm, than it’s the man’s fault.
All JP is in favor of is equal opportunity.
@@seanodonnell429 I mean yeah that’s the conclusion he finally comes to, but he starts with saying that the reason there’s incels is because there isn’t enough monogamy, which just isn’t the case. Sure young adults experiment and date around and sleep with multiple people, but both men and woman are doing that, and often both are trying to get with the hottest people. Then that phase passes and they start looking for someone they are genuinely emotionally connected with. Hot men taking all the woman and long lasting polyamory are nonissues, and quite frankly have nothing to do with why incels can’t get girlfriends. I’m not sure if you just don’t know many incels or if it’s cause you’re one yourself but I have two that have been trying to get with me for awhile (one for 5 years) and it’s not their physical attraction that’s keeping me from dating them, nor is it me choosing other hotter guys. It’s because they’re assholes. They’re legitimately the rudest guys I know and see woman as objects that they deserve. And on top of that, despite the fact that they’re kinda desperate, they have the absolute highest standards. Somehow they think that even though they live with their parents, are super rude, have poor hygiene, and aren’t trying to get a job, they deserve a doting model.
Quite frankly, the reason they can’t get a girlfriend isn’t cause all the women are taken, but because they don’t actually want to date the ones who are in their league. There’s plenty of woman out there that also can’t get a date, they just aren’t these 7-10/10s. These guys just refuse to accept that they don’t deserve the best.
The advice we should be telling them is to lower their expectations, a lot.
First of all, I am not an incel, and your passive aggressive insinuation was uncalled for. Second of all, I am sorry that you’ve had to deal with harassment from incels. That community is reprehensible, and their attitude and behavior towards women is inexcusable. These are men that do not deserve mates, period. Women are smart to reject them because they are weak, toxic, narcissistic vermin.
Having said that, JP never said that incels exist BECAUSE of the existence of polyamory in our society. In fact, in any direct reference he makes to them, he condemns them. He points out multiple times that if a man is rejected by all women, then it is his responsibility to look to his own inadequacies and put the work in to improve.
The point that he does make is that polygamous societies tilt towards violence, and they do for several reasons. It stems from fact that women are hypergamous and tend to flock towards men in the top 5-10 percent of dominance hierarchies. And there is plenty of evidence to suggest this. You need only look at the stats on dating apps and hookup culture. I don’t what why you said it’s a non-issue, but that’s completely false. Now, there is nothing inherently wrong with women being attracted to the top shelf guys. In fact, women’s sexual selectivity has benefited our species greatly from an evolutionary perspective. The trouble with polygamous societies is that the men who do have access to women treat them as disposable pleasures. They use them for sex, then kick them to the curb. Why? Because they can. The women are allowing it and even encouraging it indirectly by throwing themselves at these men. Then when they get tossed out, they are left embittered and resenting all men because the men they choose are narcissistic and psychopathic. Meanwhile, the other 90 percent of men are without mating opportunities. Men are deeply incentivized on a biological level to mate. This drives everything from healthy competition and productive work to violent jealous outrages. If there are no structures in place to prevent men from stealing each other’s partners, then they tend to get aggressive with each other. I’m not saying that’s right, but that’s what happens. Also, having families incentives men to keep society stable and safe. If the vast majority of men don’t have a family, they have no incentive to keep society stable.
I think the vast majority of people push back on the idea of enforced monogamy because the term invokes an image of a totalitarian society where women are stripped of their autonomy, ripped from their families and forced to mate with undesirable men. This is not what it means at all. It simply means that we culturally celebrate the choice to have one stable monogamous relationship and discourage cheating.
Everyone having one wife is not an equal outcome. Because not every woman is the same.
You still have a mechanism for reward for a good man, he gets a good woman.
But with dollars, an equal amount for everyone is equal outcome because all dollars are the same.
@@seanodonnell429But by hurling abuses at all men who may technically be incels, you are adding to the reasons why they become hateful, misogynistic in the first place. The society should not be shunning these men by hurling abuses at them if they can't find girlfriends. The only solution for them is society being empathetic, and making them realize that there's nothing wrong with not having a girlfriend. They should focus their time and efforts on improving themselves, which will in turn make them more happier and less hateful and misogynistic. For this to happen, society also has to accept that if there are men who don't have a girlfriend, but they are successful and happy in their lives, they shouldn't be shunned and hurled abuses at.
So, the solution to the incel problem is both internal to the incels looking at improving themselves and becoming less miserable. And, the society accepting them as people, and not degrading them as degenerates
So if we should reign polygamy ( sexual inequality) with enforced monogamy "to provide stable circumstances for children". Wouldn't that same argument work for reign in wealth inequality???

No, I think he was trying to come up with a solution to combat the fact that a lot of men are lonely and his best guess is enforced monogamy which is imo a very poor attempt at fixing the problem because it just causes many new ones, he should have just admitted that it was a bad idea instead of being afraid of looking wrong on the podcast which is why I think he didnt want to admit it

Funny that Joe mentions professional sports, where I'm pretty sure an athlete has to sign a contract and be in only 1 team and win only 1 spot in the end, basically an enforced monogamy.

Shhhhhhh
Principled logic was outlawed remember?
I come from a country with a forced/encouraged monogamy culture so I can weigh in on this a bit:
One thing that happens a lot in my country is parents tell their children all through their development "one day you're gonna be a husband (or wife), have kids, you should prepare for that both financially and as a person." They tell the kids what virtues and skills they're going to need to be a good father/mother, husband/wife. It does work in curing the incel problem and prepping people for marriage, it's just unfortunate that "my" people have a really fucked up sense of morality so it creates A LOT of very toxic households.

The trouble is that women and men have to marry in such societies like it or not and the partner may not be that desirable to you.
I come from the place where casual dating and fucking around is the norm. Trust me its not that much better in the long run. All even moderately attractive women are ran through. You cant find a 25 year old. which had less than 10 sexual partners before. With each that parner, one night stand or relationship. They bring with them psychological issues. So we have a shit show of trust issues, cheating out of boredom, failure to value what you have in the situation and so much more, bitterness from less successful men, who dont want, feel like its unfair to date a woman or settle with a woman who had a lot more partners than they, pretty much a big clusterfuck of lonely, fucked up people. Especially in 30s, when most women decide that they want to have a family and pool of willing mates shrink, cause most men dont want to settle or dont want to settle with them and on top, everyone carries lots of psychological issues, men and women with them and even if people find each other, the relationshits dont last long or dont last without cheating, lying and manipulation. Overall forced marriage isnt good and does not sound great, but promiscious sexual society isnt either.

I met many women who were attracted to other men just for the sole reason that other women were attracted to them
That just insinuates that the guy is attractive looking or something (rich or good with women or whatever). That is just common sense. I am not talking about that, I mean a woman who doesn’t find a guy attractive at all then she finds out he had a lot of exes and that idea own itself is attractive to her.

The way women have traditionally chosen mates makes it seem like they're after power. That's why it's an uncomfortable topic.
@E C I agree with at least some of that. Question: Why does every woman I know say that they've made the worst choices when it comes to dating/mating?
@@TheDionysianFields Happens to all of us, physical attraction can only last for so long before you just decide: "fuck this person." I've met beautiful women, and crushed hardcore but then listening to them be sloppy assholes completely turns me off.

That was an interesting discussion to watch.
Here's an supposition that might he worth examining: The sexually successful man who only wants casual sex with a bunch of women is actually losing by doing so; finding a woman who is personally compelling enough to dominate a man's attention is actually more desirable than casual sex with multiple women.

I was married and i have two children with this woman. We separated and both started to date other people. I got, surprisingly to myself, jealous. Then i checked it out, confronted it and healed that emotional issue and now i see different women, that have other relationships and i m now at peace. A personal experience that i went through is showing me the way. Heal the insecurities, and then mating becomes so a joy with no more drama. If the children involved have the presence, love and support of their parents exactly when they need it, and if they live in a healthy community, were the parents can are around, instead of being kidnapped by the schedule of the society plans, they would grow into healthy human beings with much traumas then the isolated children that live with monogamous parents im the present situations that our society propose

@@fe5018 Yeah I was about to say there are plenty of people in America who came here SPECIFICALLY to escape societies with militantly enforced monogamy. I'm sure there are plenty of young women who have fled their homes to escape abusive arranged marriages that would not interpret "enforced monogamy" the way Peterson meant it, but instead of acknowledging he could have done a better job with phrasing when addressing a non-academic audience Peterson blames everyone around him for being stupid (even after Rogan tries to get him to read the room) which pretty much sums up who he is as a person.
@@Ryan-nm8pw Yeah right, even when Jordan is given a softball pitch clarifying question he spins off into even grander claims purposefully designed to get the backlash he is looking for and clarifies nothing.

If someone is with someone of lower status, wouldn't that make the lower status person hypergamous?
Joe makes a good connection between 'enforced monogamy' and 'equality of outcome.' That's the crux of the matter that people wanted to ask Peterson, and Joe did ask it.
I wouldn't say that's equality of outcome though. It's equality of opportunity. If it's a mathematical fact that most men will miss out, as they would in a polygamous society, that is not equal opportunity.
@@spockskynet I think this discussion is fundamentally flawed because it's failing to recognize that poly women often have multiple male partners. I'm monogamous personally, and happily married, but I have female friends who have several boyfriends/lovers, and sometimes a husband too.

The separation of people who do & don't want children is such an extreme nuance in life.
Jordan Peterson is a brilliant man...IN HIS FIELD. When it comes to some of these topics, he seems to be no more informed than any other person except his vocabulary is particularly well rounded. Talking about enforced monogamy is barely one step away from enforced heterosexuality as far as I see.
This is his field, it is related to human psychology and sociology
It’s not though. Also it was made obvious that JP hasn’t thought through his ideas and taken them to their logical conclusions. In the end he is a quack and christian apologist and these things inform his views more than research in the fields he pretends to be an expert in.
I'm afraid you're wrong. Most of western society and much of eastern is in the state of enforced monogamy. We don't allow marriages to multiple people at once and it has worked better than polygamous societies. If you're thinking that he somehow wants to force women into something, you're wrong
@@SeaCowsBeatLobsters he did.. although here the argument was weak but this is a small segment of a large video. And he is right, the most successful societies do have monogamy as a default setting
I don't agree with Joe Rogan. It's easy to call incels "unattractive" to women, but they don't start that way. People aren't born with toxic attitudes about women and sexuality. They get pushed there by the frustration and despair at being unable to find a partner, either through attributes that aren't in their control (genes control your height, your face, your metabolism, all things that contribute to physical attractiveness), or attributes that ARE in their control, but just aren't taught to young men by our society. Showing dominance has been retooled as "toxic masculinity." Being confident and approaching women is now termed "sexual harassment".
I agree with Jordan Peterson that a polygamous society helps create incels. Casual hookups and open relationships are extremely common today. With online dating becoming the norm, it's easy for women to swipe left on a man that's only 5' 8". Compare this to a physical interaction, where a man approaches a woman in a social setting. A woman isn't going to "swipe left" on a guy that they're talking with face-to-face, even if they're meeting for the very first time. Even if she's not immediately attracted to him, a pleasant conversation can change that. All that disappears with online dating. You can really see what Jordan Peterson is talking about through the perspective of online dating. Men who don't have the idealized face and body get swiped left on. The most attractive men are usually the ones that horde all of the matches.

It's ironic that Joe Rogan uses the examples of sports and business as a counter point to Peterson's argument considering that both the sports and business worlds have rules and contracts. Why then is it so unpalatable to Rogan to think of rules (monogamy) and contracts (marriage) in the world of romantic relationships?
Because he's a sexual deviant and desperately wants to internally justify cheating on his wife by labeling himself as a "sexual winner" rather than a cheat.
@Lee Juddy definitely came across that way
you can't make rules and contracts for romantic relationships. you would know that if you've ever had one
Wow, Rogan had the balls to completely clash with Peterson on the issue of enforced monogamy. That’s actually so impressive that he pushed Peterson intellectually on that point.
The self righteousness of incels on here is astounding
Some men don’t care about having children, but most women want children at some point.

Enforced monogamy seems like the idea is to take choice away from women. Ultimately monogamy will occur more often if men are better people and “mates”
Behind-every-successful-man-there-stands-a-woman definition. A man 's achievements are made possible by the support and work of their wife or female partner. Women just grew to be a bit too selfish. I don't know much about monogamy and stuff.. I know that females went for alpha male through humanity's history and the alpha male impregnated them all.. Now I don't know how much benefit came from monogamy when it was popular.. if there was any boom in progress or something.. but sure I would be much happier and more productive if I had a partner that I would be love-dovey with.

JP is right we are in a polygamist society because marriage and monogamy is no longer the norm
I mean it is just not (I'm presuming we're the same age) at our age, and there's nothing wrong with that imho.
It is the norm after 30
@@BodhiGeraci People getting married and staying married has been on the decline for decades. Look back at the 1950s where people got married in their 20s and stayed married for life. People on average had more sex than they do now and not by coincidence were happier. We are now living in a type of "hook up culture" where people meet at bars or tinder and have sex. Many women are hooking up with the same "alpha" guys so even though they are not in polygamist marriage they are in polygamist relationships.
Enforced monogamy is necessary. 4 years later it looks like Jordan was thrown off guard because he never questioned his own fundamental belief in that way. He's right children are the only answer. The reason 1 guy being the king of dating multiple women is a problem is because it creates a culture in which we are not all working together for a better future of society but rather enjoying the temporary leisures that benefit no one but yourself. Multiple women will only want men at the top and unfortunately for 1 man to be at the top there has to be many men at the bottom. These men become useless in creating a strong next generation of the human race where each home should be raising a family that will follow in the footsteps.
I believe in todays society we truly desire the luxuries and leisures of life which is completely natural. However, life is give and take. And todays culture is a lot about taking but not giving. Giving is not charity. Giving is the trade for taking. And if there is a disproportionate level of give and take then eventually the resources and energy creating the commodities we all want will crumble and fall apart because the mechanism that generates those commodities are only concerned with taking the commodities and not generating.
So to tie the ideas together, dating for fun and not having children is a personal choice. Culturally enforced monogamy would be an example of a humanity choice. We as a society need a balance of the two. And in that balance we should all take some responsibility to contribute to the next generation. Without responsibility we doom ourselves in our elderly years and we doom our societies future entirely. However Men need to be encouraged to be the best version of themselves for the better of society. This will not only be obviously good for society but at the same time make the average man much more desirable to women today. Women that are 5s don't want men that are 5s. And most men at 5 will be happy with a woman whos a 5. So if that man was just much more desirable they could easily find common ground.
Enforced monogamy = lowering the standards meaning more men who previously didn't have a chance now have a chance and JP is ok with that but try telling him we should lower academic standards so more people enter university or lowering the standards for high paying jobs so more people can have 6 figure salaries and all of a sudden JP is against the idea.
If more people enter universities, it does not translate into more people making 6 figure salaries, as money is a relative thing. If more people have more money, it just ends up having less value. The other option would be to let the people battle for the 6 figure income after they finished uni, and the same amount of people will get that 6 figure income, but half of them would have studied for nothing an be in dept (if it's usa)
Enforced monogamy is not lowering the standard. The most desirable men will still be the most desirable and women can still choose to pursue them, they will just face consequences just as men do for aiming so high with little effort on their part thanks to polygamy and men's lower standards. If anything monogamy encourages women to compete as men do.
If everyone had 6 figure jobs then those jobs wouldn’t be six figures anymore. Economics is pretty simple.
yeah dude, let any guy from the street do a surgery on you.
Education should have high standards, do you want an uneducated doctor perform a high risk surgery on you? It can not be compared to marriage and formation of family.
Doesn't want to discuss hypergamy (women) because it's uncomfortable. well you have to deal with the reality sometime.
it would make women look 'bad' and he would be vilified for talking about their dual sexual strategy
@@etf42 Well, hypergamy IS bad, and shouldn't be respected.
Hypergamy tends to be demonized by men but in truth it’s just a reflection of basic biological behavior. Men tend to want to mate with and settle down with physically attractive young women who can provide them with healthy children and do basic duties to help a man’s life to be disciplined. Women tend to want to do the same but with a man who has power or assets, in addition to the fact that they don’t believe in selling themselves short because there’s a lot of risk in getting pregnant and raising children. Therefore you don’t see hot fertile women marrying homeless uneducated and unattractive men 15 years their younger with nothing to contribute. In modern times, the men are attracted to visual beauty and health/women are attracted to stability and power dynamic manifests itself in financial power, therefore men who are able to bring a lot of money home and put in the hard work and drive in order to attain that. A man who sits around all day and fails to bring home a stable flow of money is basically useless to a woman, since his value is dependent on his actions and what he can do to provide for his wife and family. The man’s role has always been and will always be to provide income, no matter how society changes and how women go out to work as well. Those who whine about this basic system of attraction and style of function in marriage are those who are on the losing side of hypergamy because women don’t see value in them due to their inability to satisfy bringing home a lot of money so they can live in comfort. Don’t hate on women or the system, since it’s an equal standard of expectation from both sides. Just as long as you are able to bring home more dough than her (not too difficult to do unless if she’s a manager at some big company) then she’s satisfied. Get off your asses and prove that you can make something of yourself and bring yourself to your fullest potential in success and women will be attracted to that quality in you.
There are a few problems with hypergamy. First it can only really be applied to women that want children. Personally, I don't want them and therefore I won't be in the very vulnerable position of having and raising children and I won't need to look for a man with many resources to provide for me. Instead I get to choose my partner based on how comfortable I am around them so I can be my true self. And that's the second problem with the hypergamy discussion. Often it simplifies people to there most basic animal instincts and thanks to our very developed frontal cortex we're more than that. Resource acquisition does factor in for women looking for a mate to have children with, but I'd argue how well you get along with that person is a bit more important. Come on. Who doesn't want to feel understood. Someone should ask Peterson why he thinks his wife decided to be with him. Does he really think it's just because he was her best path to the most resources. I highly doubt it.
I agree that many women want more resources for their children and many men want to sleep with plenty of attractive women (btw men also want women with resources and women also want to sleep with many attractive men. Yet another problem with this argument. It's way too black and white) but we're way more complex than that.
Shut up virgin
If someone has made this comment already then I apologize. I haven't read everything. Joe keeps saying he doesn't understand how culturally enforced monogamy helps incels. They both agreed that the solution is for men to get their act together, but Joe still didn't see the connection between the two subjects, and I think that's because of one thing that Dr. Peterson didn't explicitly state, but heavily implied. In their defense it isn't a shallow subject.
The connection is that if most men are being beaten so badly at the "game" of attracting women that they have zero chance, then there is little incentive to try. If the norm is monogamy then they have increased opportunities to find a mate, and they will be more motivated to get their lives in order. This will still be mostly true if some people deviate from the norm. As long as you don't have one sultan with 1,000 wives, and 999 men with absolutely no chance whatsoever at ever finding a mate. That's what you want to avoid. Most men will clean themselves up, work hard, and accept responsibility if they see a reasonable chance of success.
There will always be some men who are highly desirable with lots of partners, and some men who are not desirable who need to make positive changes to become desirable. Culturally enforced monogamy just means they at least most men have a chance to play the game. Dr. Peterson has pointed out many times that if too large a number of people can't play the game, then they stop playing. The consequences of that aren't good for anyone. I say this not to trivialize, but someone who feels excluded from the social game, and the dating game, and the game of life in general who becomes resentful may choose to, "flip the chess board over", and that may take the form of a school shooting, or other horrific act. At least that's my understanding of what they were trying to get at with this conversation.
You mean it comes down to having more women availiable if the culture was an enforced mongamy ? So the 'low value' women will then not anymore be able to date 'up' as the men who are more attractive relatively are already taken by the higher value women, which then results in the pretty females have no one else to settle for than an incel? Is that what you mean? *I mistyped some words if you see this message in your email or so - so please read again*
The solution I have is that women shouldn't be allowed to "have it all."
It's kind of annoying to have people blaming me for being an Incel, saying I'm not a real man. I work hard, own my own property, have friends but apparently I'm not a real man. It's not my frigging fault I was born unattractive.

Yes but unattractive can get women. By having status or money, personality, game etc.
I'd like to see this topic discussed with rogan, peterson, and Dan balzerian together.
I have always been considered attractive, and was used to woman acting weird and guys acting weird around me, and I enjoyed the spoils but never really appreciated it. Then I got wounded, on my face. I took care of it, and now have a minor scar I have bearded over. But I learned a lot over that 6 month period. I appreciate things more, and have greater empathy.
what they don't talk about is the natural evolutionary aspect of the situation:
better and better looking people are naturally pushed to be preferrable sexual partners in order to improve the overall health, intelligence, looks, attitude and strength of the population, generation by generation.
Edit: fun fact, I wrote this comment when I was at 10:12 of the video, literally as soon as I resumed watching Peterson talked about this aspect
Edit 2: I still find myself disagreeing with what Peterson said because sure, evolution might lean the population to a slight poligamy, but in the long term this would improve the overall quality of the population hence reducing the need for poligamy because every individual would be a good sexual candidate at that point.
Go to any college campus or high school and you will see a polygamist society😂. That’s where all these intel’s come from. Many of them aren’t middle age men they’re adolescents.
peterson is absolutley right in the point that he is making, the evidence through history is clear as day.
@Spanish Moustache agreed
I agree with JP based on size of population opportunity, and the internet, mixed with the fact we are not more evolved than we were 10,000 years ago.
We wouldn’t have access to a thousand mates, let alone millions. People took what they got. And basic psychology has shown again and again that more choices make us miserable.
Jordan is out of his league in this conversation because he’s not an alpha male. He’s not the type of man who attracts many women so he can’t really speak to it. Fidelity is NOT the norm with an above 60% admitted infidelity rate. Monogamy is NOT the norm for human beings. Joe made a great point about Jordan attempting to enforce equality of outcomes here when he’s against it in the job world. This is what happens when your emotions and religious beliefs get in the way of sound analysis and objectivity.
@shaska ocelot Great points and thanks for sharing the stats. I’m guessing Joe’s point was that you can’t artificially regulate mating or even family dynamics. The single, childless epidemic is probably more due to natural selection and evolution than leftist policies. Forcing women to marry low value men will just increase broken families and further damage children. Just speculating here.
