  • In this lecture, I discuss uncertainty, or anomaly. We frame the world -- or the world reveals itself to us -- as a story, with a starting point, a destination, and the behavioral means to move from one to the other. The destination is valued more highly than the starting point, and constitutes the point of the story -- the aim of the individual. Reality manifests itself within that story as what is relevant for forward movement, what gets in the way, and what is irrelevant and can be safely ignored. The largest category, by far, is the latter. Unfortunately, sometimes what has been happily classified as irrelevant rears up and gets in the way. That's a manifestation of chaos. Chaos can undermine the story, or break the frame. The degree of undermining or breakage is proportional to the time and space over which the story in question extends its operations.

      How do you define joke? And how do you define lecture? These are very complicated questions, as nietzsche explored, and it’s very tricky. And who the hell wants to deal with tricky? This reminds me of a story about some Ukrainian serfs in 1913......... *clears throat* so anyway, lobsters.

    I just turned 21 and I have to say, JBP, you have saved me from the abyssal depths of chaos. I was a rampaging drug addict who had no boundaries, no goals, no framework of motivation - nothing. Dr. Peterson you were the father that I always wished I had: a man who knows how to act, but will always take advice from others. A man who will tell you what you're doing wrong, but also hold your hand as you're walking back to the right path. A man who won't take crap from anyone and yet will hear you out respectfully. This man who is leaving volumes of knowledge for us; he is an angel in a time of ideological nonsense, and if you're reading this right now, be damn grateful man, because there are so many people out there right now that are LOST. Lost, without the slightest clue on how to get their life back together, and the worst part is, is that they will stay that way. I got lucky. I found these lectures, (this is already my third series after the personality and biblical lectures) and I have to say, I have never been more grateful. God Bless you Jordan Peterson, you deserve the love of the world.

The professors do not tolerate students who challenge them. If you want to pass the class, you shut up and just go with it.

      Dr. Peterson actually grew up knowing Rachel Notley (NDP premier of Alberta) and her parents. Both fall on the far left side of the spectrum and he has flat out said that he doesn't believe that Notley's parents would be pleased with the way that she is running her provincial government.
      I'd say he sits on the left but believes in certain social conservative values due to his views on archetypes and historical patterns. But Dr. Peterson can clear that up if he wants.

      I'd say he's High Tory or traditionalist conservative. (examples: Burke, Wordsworth, Michael Oakeshott, T.S. Eliot, G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, Sir Roger Scruton). Essentially it's the rejection of ideology and revolution (though not necessarily reform or rebellion), which is based on the belief that clever people are capable of demolishing traditional culture and building a Utopia that is more equitable and efficient.

    @JordanPeterson
    Your words have been powerfully profound in waking me up and making my life and family life better.
    The most positive thing you said was to describe a way that I have been thinking (abstractly not my exact situation) and saying "well that is a stupid way of being. " (perhaps thinking but since I embodied the thought in my actions....)
    Thank you for calling me out on my own bull.....

    Another great lecture Dr Peterson. Thank you.
    I can only hope those in your class and here grasp your teachings.
