2017/06/28: Postmodern NeoMarxism: Diagnosis and Cure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2024
- I gave this talk at a meeting hosted by the University of Toronto's Students in Support of Free Speech ( / ssfsut , which is one of many such groups that are springing up across North American, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in reaction to the censorial attitude of the postmodern neo-marxists who have come to dominate the humanities, law, education and much of the social sciences on campuses in recent years.
I am hoping that with concerted effort it will be possible to identify the corrupted and ideologically-possessed university disciplines across campuses world-wide and to drive down their new enrolment by 75% over the next five years.
As of now a website is being designed to help students (and their parents) identify postmodern cult courses from course descriptions, so that those who would rather be educated than indoctrinated can make a choice (and, I suppose, for those who wish the opposite to make a choice as well). Stay posted.
The event, which featured America's Ben Shapiro, is described here: freedomsummit.ca/

The good doctor is wearing an Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn shirt that I sent to him in the mail about 5-6 months ago. How cool is that?
blueshirttail where can I get one?
Peterson doesn't understand Marxism or postmodernism on a fundamental level. Postmodernism by all definitions is a metaphysical idea guided by time as a nonlinear abstract, whereas Marxism confines itself directly to the physical world. This is the main conflict between these ideologies and why a person can't reasonably be either. Actual postmodernists and actual Marxists are very antagonistic toward one another. But this is one in a very long line of Peterson pretending to understand things that he doesn't have a clue about, be it biology, anthropology, history, gender studies, etc.
@@surgeland9084 ....oh....someone who claims to be smarter than Jordan Peterson....but repsonds to a post about an Alexander Solzhenitsyn tshirt with a completely unrelated rant. "While encompassing a wide variety of approaches and disciplines, postmodernism is generally defined by an attitude of skepticism, irony, or rejection of the grand narratives and ideologies of modernism, often calling into question various assumptions of Enlightenment rationality. " By ALL definitions post modernism is metaphysical?
@@lawler3708 Frankly, the shit I took this morning is smarter than Peterson. I was also responding to a comment under this admittedly shit post. Anyway, yes, postmodernism deals primarily with the metaphysical. But that is its conflict with Marxism, which is concerned primarily with the physical. That was my point.
@@surgeland9084 Surgé Land Surgé Land well....at least you're humble 🤣 Someone who takes PHD shits....🤣 You must be the wealthiest troll on UA-cam! .....anyway.... its obvious you never even watched this video. At 14:20.....he must be talking about you 🤣

More like the malevolent uncle.
Roughly speaking.
Eyes of Infinity j
Jordan Peterson is a confessed dracophobe.
chaos is fun.
Very, very good. I'm in grade 12, Australia, and every speech we do in English is about prejudice and social justice (sexism, "ableism", racism, Islamophobia, "classism"). It is really obvious that we are not learning how to write well, but instead how to pick out "prejudices" or rather, make up prejudices and go on about how it is everywhere and people are racist and so on. It seems as if they want us to believe everyone is equal in every way, when in reality: "Human beings are born with different capabilities, if they are free, they are not equal, and if they are equal, they are not free"- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. I really appreciate Dr Peterson speaking up about the indoctrination that is so prevalent in the education system.
nakedfordinner Who said anything about humans beings not being treated as having equal value? Saying that individuals have different abilities is self evident. I assume when you need surgery you want a skilled surgeon, rather than the local butcher, or is that discrimination and oppression against butchers?
+Squiderrant Be careful which university you choose, or you might find yourself knee deep in this intellectual BS.
solzhenitsin confuses identity/uniformity with social equality.
It is a false claims.
Is is social equality, equality in humanity, equality in rights, equal access to service, equality of choices .
Inequality allows to think some people as subhumans or even non human, meaning a thing that can be killed without remorse.
Rejecting equality leads to : slavery , talibans and daesh with women , nazism with the genocid of jews and other, etc...
Inequality is just a justification for dominating, exploiting, harming , or destroying the other.
It is not moral.
You can't defend democracy, freedom, etc... and defending inequality, rejecting equality. It is not logical.
Democracy imply citizen with equal political rights, yes this is equality.
Dictatorships are based on inequal politic power, inequal economic power, social inequality.
There is no freedom without equality.
Slave are not free because they don't have equality of humanity, equality of right, equality of speech, equality of freedom of moving, etc.... When slaves are equals to their master, a "free man", then they become free, this is the abolition of slavery.
How can you believe that there is no freedom if the slaves are not equal to their master?
Nazi could not mass killing jews if they had treat them as brother in humanity, equals in humanity.
On the other hand nazism dreamed of germans with the same hair color, eyes colors, skin color, etc... while being very inequalitarians.
It is the case for all oppressions.
In USSR there was no equality between staline, the nomenklatura and the rest of the nation.
This why the regime was oppressive. And this is the reason why real marxist or socialists say that "it is not real communism" because it does not follow the main focus of communism : social equality.
Where there is a dictator , there is no social equality.
If you treat the others as your equal you don't agress them, you don't think them as harfull at first sight.
Equality between two people means pacific relations between peoples.
Equality between peoples favor empathy, instead of violence.
It leads to more moral acts than inequality.
@@jean-louispech4921 you've made NO mention of "equality of OUTCOME" which is COMMUNISM where in every case
attempted ,resulted in brutal repression and mass murder.
@@bademoxy
Equality of outcome is not the subject....
And you are just another ignorant about communism, just believing what say propaganda from dictatorships and capitalists.
Communism was not attempted , by the peoples you think as communists.
Communism is about peoples getting their needs, not an administration saying what you can eat, communism is about collective power, not a dictatorship, communism is about abolition of police and army, not about tough police and army. Communism is about to put an end to the exploitation of the workers, to allows workers to be involved in decisions with a collective power, etc... nothing that we can see in the countries self labeled as communist.
Good for you. Not liking communists is good thing.
The moral decline in the culture is my largest concern. The Biblical verse that mentions "what's good is bad and what's bad is good" has taken root.
You sad, sad sack
@@santosd6065 actually you are. Keep following your false prophets teachings. Marxist’s are brainswashed retards who really think that the state is better off instilling some identity to the individual. Just another herd of sheep being lead to the slaughterhouse
@@justinkerrigan5863
Hm. Interesting analysis.
In which one of Marx's books or essays does he say that, exactly? Was it the 18th Brumaire or the first volume of Capital? Im sure you're familiar with them all
Also, what are your thoughts on the Labor Theory of Value? Of course you remember the concept was taken for granted by Adam Smith and David Ricardo, but quietly abandoned by the late 19th Century economists as they found it inconvenient.
So glad to find a well read, insightful guy like you to clarify these things for me!
(maybe late you can explain Foucault and Derrida to me... they're kind of jackasses, but nowhere near as scary as this Peterson Benzo head snowflake seems to think they are)
@@santosd6065 lmao, Marxist communism relies on identity politics. The entire premise is that the Proletariat are being attack as a group. And that as a group they should be responsible of everything, because they're the group.
That's commie thought 101.
@@santosd6065 Yeah. Yeah we are sad. It’s a devastating thing, actually.
The father America needs. He has the entire country cleaning their room.
I'm cleaning my room Mr. Peterson!
Keep up the good work. Thanks for your efforts. You've raised the collective IQ of the the United States and Canada.
He has the entire planet. Im cleaning my room from Romania.
*and of Germany :D
Thank you for everything you've given to the world. I learned more from you in the past year than I have in a decade of school
A man on fire! Thank God for this man and his testimony.
I wish I had found you earlier. Thanks for educating us and helping us fight this disease that's plaguing us!
Did he help you get into a misogynistic relationship? That's what he's best at.
Mane what?@@510tuber
@@510tuber Please read Karl Marx books, and really try to understand them, then rethink your values and which people to mistrust. I was lucky enough, because I learned about all this stuff without any sort of bias. I study business administration in germany, and I first encountered marxism in my social economics class (a class in which you learn what kind of systems exist in the world, what ideas first came up a couple hundred years ago, and which have stuck around til now). First of all, you can't see the world as black and white as I suspect you do right now, and second, marxism is NOT GOOD for anyone long term. People have tried it, again and again. And thinking that you somehow would be able to implement a better version of that system, is the purest form of narcissism there is, given that very smart people in very different positions have tried it multiple different times, with HORRIFIC results. Similar to how a purely free market is one of the most unjust things possible morally speaking.
So I beg you, DO NOT advocate for ideologies, and don't try to make people feel bad for trying to educate themselves!!!
This man will change the world.
Slappy His funeral may be more attended than Ghandi's.

Dr. Peterson is always a spectacular speaker and motivating human-being. God bless this man, and his enlightened look at how the future is changing. Thank you Dr. Peterson, you got me out of my anxiety, and depression stage in my life!
It saddens me because postmodern philosophy states all truth is relative yet "their truth" is correct. It's intellectually dishonest by their own standards.
There are women who agree with Prof Peterson's reasoning.
I abhorred that the philosophy course I did expected me to adopt a post-modernist mindset. I tried to argue the lack of logical coherence in the relativist argument but got nowhere.
She stated that "it's simply not true that there is an objective truth!!! To which I replied " isn't that a universal claim?!!!"
She loved Foucault, who I could not stand, and who I found immoral and unoriginal.
I'm not a conservative, so it's not just the right who reject post-modernist perspectives.
Post-modern perspectives are fundamentally incompatible with science, which is my field (post-graduate neurobiology, plus side interests in other disciplines).
According to political tests, I am mostly middle-left classic liberal, but in reality I've tried to cultivate an attitude of "let each idea stand or fall on merit" (that is, what conclusions do established facts and reason lead to?).
I don't pretend I'm doing anything other than attempting to live up to that, because I know humans are good at fooling themselves. Any conclusion I come to, I try to hold on to it lightly in case new evidence is presented. I have been wrong about some things in the past, I will be wrong about some things in the future.
On the basis of what I am seeing so far, I have slowly and reluctantly come to the conclusion that the post-modern movement is one of the most serious threats to human civilisation since the 1930's.
Because once education is corrupted, all the foundations of civilisation will crumble within a few generations.
By comparison, Donald Trump is merely (George W. Bush Jr.)² and, I think, is being exploited as the Reichstag Fire by the post-modernists (although, yes, he really is an incompetent, dangerous fool).
Post-modern social theories are hauntingly similar to caste systems, apartheid, Lysenkoism and Deutsche Physik.
Most of the evidence I see for such conclusions is produced by the post-modernists themselves: in journals, in newspaper articles, in social media posts. They have written their Mein Kampf, so we know what they are up to. No third party commentary is required to reach this conclusion.
Watching so many people pat themselves on the back for taking part in the trendy new racism, sexism and hate speech of our times (while sincerely believing themselves to be free of and fighting against sexism/racism/hatred) is extremely unsettling, to say the least.
Most people look at the superficial wrapping of "human rights advocacy" and look no deeper. For this reason, it is trivial to convince them that being opposed to post-modernism is the same as being opposed to human rights.
@@paulcoddington664 sorry, Paul, but Trump is nothing like W Bush. Don't be so partisan that you can't differentiate.
It's more like comparing Hannibal Lector to Gomer Pyle . the later is too stupid to be cynical and was just a hapless tool of corrupt snakes like Dick Cheney-who even most Republicans despised. there IS a two party dictatorship and if you think the Democrats aren't part of it,then you are a "useful fool".
Oh, it gets worse than that. In University, I've heard professors prop up Salinsky as some kind of Patron Saint of social justice, and the reality is that he was just some manipulative pseduo-intellectual who likely fancied himself in the Marx-Marcuse-Derrida tribe of leftist intellectuals when he was, at best, the half-eaten stale cracker on the plate at their dinner parties.
Yours in Liberty,
A woman who is also fond of Dr. Peterson and his work
Same here. In one of my counseling classes, they started pushing a post-modern view on us to which I objected... and then they simply doubled down on their neo-marxist attempted indoctrination. It actually really upset me because I objected in a very logical and polite way, yet got met with such a lackluster response.
What did she reply?
If you're ethically, morally, intellectually, emotionally, practically, and technicaly wrong you've got some rooms to clean bucko
Other than ethically, morally, intellectually, emotionally and practically, the philosophy is right!
More like a whole house.
Please enlighten me to your reasoning and where you disagree and why
Jordan Peterson, Savior of Western Civilization.

I think Gad Saad deserves some more recognition, too. I wouldn't call him a savior, but he's one of the soldiers of reason leading the charge.
Not if we don't get off our ass and help.
I know what your name is a reference to.
Phil King from post-modern neomarxism, you dope
Frankfurt school philosophy, I agree with you completely mrdanneskjold.
this man is a modern legend and a saint. Very few people have genuinely changed how I think about the world like he has.
Unfortunately a number of these courses are required in universities. They are a part of the incoming student indoctrination programs, purported as orientation classes.
That has to stop. Now. When the posmodernist id website goes up, we'll address that too.
belleobscurytee
I'm joining the Canadian forces soon and you are forced to sit through a transgender sensitivity course.
High school students need to be aware of these required courses so they can select the least post modern marxist universities to attend.
Yeah all the people becoming teachers at the university I am attending are required to take Edthp 115, which during the school year is only taught by a professor that believes in equality of outcome.
Dr. Peterson,
I encountered this dilemma when I transferred to DePaul University in Chicago, IL. Fortunately, I began my studies at a small college in Houston, Texas (University of St. Thomas). This school placed a strong emphasis on classical education and was steeped in Aristotelian virtue ethics. Having studied Greek and Scholastic philosophy, I found myself less susceptible to the pernicious reprogramming at DePaul. Yet I couldn’t help but feel sympathy for those incoming Freshman, lacking the necessary tools to understand what was happening. When I transferred, I was told that all incoming Freshman and transfer students must take a “multiculturalism” course. I selected the most moderate looking course (something about “multicultural Chicago"). However, on day one of the class I was informed that it had been changed to “Understanding Race and Racism.” I was then told that all the other courses were either filled or cancelled. Thus, I was forced to spend an entire semester learning exactly what you have been talking about. Praise God I had the background to see through the professor’s agenda. In a way, I am grateful for the experience, because I know the truth of what you are saying first hand.
JPB you are getting more and more precise in your analysis. I'm just at 10:00 but up until now literally each of your sentences NAILED IT
the totality of my humanities degree completely debunked
That's the problem, people need to be informed as to what the nature of the degree they are buying with their time and money before they decide on which degree or university to attend.
Thank you Professor for leading on this.
My new favourite speech ever. Thank you so much Prof!
So much to learn in every video. Priceless and so important.
I just bought your self authoring suite, I cannot wait to get started. I (speaking on behalf of many) thank you sincerely for your consistent and excellent effort to help us. God bless you (and that ain't no joke, man)
I was in the audience and man I just about teared up at his sheer eloquence, every time he speaks it's like music to my ears
U, Rachel have been woken.
Rachel Adjeleian
Do you still feel this way? Did he seem invulnerable at that time? The audience response in this video, combined with your own three years ago, indicates the growth of a personality cult. This was not good for Peterson, nor was it good for anyone else.
(Psalm 146:3) 'Do not trust in princes, in mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.'
@@jesusislordsavior6343 I haven't rewatched the video so I'm not sure - but much has changed since 3 years ago in my life and I have actually since accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, to your delight I would assume :) I agree that it became a personality cult! We as Christians need to watch who we are idolizing and see the bigger picture when figures like Jordan Peterson come on to the scene. I think much of what he has said is very valuable, but to many people (including myself) he definitely became more than someone who offers good advice and insight into different topics.
@@RachelAdjeleian
As you knew would happen, I am simply delighted to hear from you, to know about your new life in the Lord, and to see your eloquent remarks. God bless you.
It's nice to see that he's slowly coming back to the public scene. For a long time he was my favorite modern writer and speaker. I'd like to know if he would still agree with his older speeches.
his choice of words and the cadence of brilliance that comes out of this mans mouth is incredible. such an amazing speech!
Maaaan!
An avalanche of a man.
He's getting better and more determined with time and so must we
I hope you're feeling well, Dr. Peterson. I know you said you've been feeling better lately in one of your Q and A's, but I just hope this stuff isn't weighing you down too hard. A lot of people look up to you and have come to expect a lot. I know you take that with no small measure of happiness, but I hope you're not under undue stress for it.
I also hope Dr Peterson is taking appropriate care of himself. I worry he'll burn himself out. What he is saying may not be Ultimate Truth, but he's presenting information in a way that gets people really, truly thinking. What's more, people are acting in response to his words, no matter how minute the action. Dr P is important because he speaks in a way people understand, whether they agree or not.
Rebecca O'Brien The only people who don't like him are the ones he's going after, gutless cowardly marxists. They won't go near him, and it's obvious why.
They won't go near him in an intellectual debate, but they will surround him and call him a nazi and blow airhorns. I doubt the latter is more healthy for one's psyche than the former.
Becky O'Brien I agree he sounded very out of sorts here.
Peterson doesn't understand Marxism or postmodernism on a fundamental level. Postmodernism by all definitions is a metaphysical idea guided by time as a nonlinear abstract, whereas Marxism confines itself directly to the physical world. This is the main conflict between these ideologies and why a person can't reasonably be either. Actual postmodernists and actual Marxists are very antagonistic toward one another. But this is one in a very long line of Peterson pretending to understand things that he doesn't have a clue about, be it biology, anthropology, history, gender studies, etc.
One of the best talks I've seen. Really informative, and I like the solution. Hopefully we can stop this monster from taking over.
Wow.... Mr Peterson is on fire! - and understandably so!! 🔥👍❤️
I had a favorite professor in college who studied at UOT and articulated many of the views you share in your lectures and videos. I'm glad I found your videos they are like a continuation of what I learned from my professor. thanks for posting quality content while somehow managing to put out a large quantity.
I'm always impressed by your thoughtful, coherent perspective. I only wish I could do it justice in equally thoughtful and coherent praise but my words fail me. I do appreciate many of the comments, though and I would +1 to most of them.
I asked a simple question in the subreddit /r/LatestageCapatilism: "Have you guys read Gulag Archipelago?" Within hours I was banned.

Zuriel Well actually I was sick but I was only sick because I lied about being sick to get out of something that I hadnt properly prepared for and felt uncomfortable about it and wanted more time and its because I avoid responsibility and dont want to do any hard work so I suppose I should stop avoiding responsibility, so I can stop lying and then being sick to validate my lies about being sick to avoid responsibility.
He is Awesome ! How wonderful to know he is from Alberta , Canada ! I have listened to this 2xs now , and I am in awe of his manner of speaking and his train of logic and reasoning..omg !

There are so many smart people who complain about the corruption of the universities but I dont think anyone has decided to ACT and do something about as boldly and bravely as Dr. Peterson. Thank God for his interest in ideas and willpower to carry them out. Attacking (the ideas) full force is what needs to be done, thank you for leading.
They really did fuck with the wrong guy holy shit
this was one of the best lectures I have heard from you
Love your stuff man, thanks for uploading.
Excellent summation of a lot of your speeches! You are my meta hero. I cant express in words the level of eye opening you have given me. You have changed my life, forever, for the better. Endless thanks on you!
I love you, jordan peterson.
At least twice in this video, I had to stop myself applauding. This guy gets it.
Every video from Dr. Peterson is basically 3-4x the actual length because each time you watch it you learn/catch something new.
I really struggle to look up to people and find heroes or even mentors in today's world but this man is the closest I think I will ever come to hero worshipping a person. His talks and opinions are sublime.
Jordan Peterson's tongue contains more silver than the Stanley Cup.
It aint silver its truth. Hes a peace maker. Blessed are the peace makers.
That was a speech for the ages. Well done Dr Peterson.
Postmodern 3-step plan for success:
1. Declare the majority of people around your enemy.
2. Appeal to the majority of people around you to help you defeat your enemy.
3. Those of the majority around you that do not help you defeat your enemy ARE your enemy.
As usual, an excellent lecture. While listening, I thought about the hemorrhoids I had removed a few weeks ago. The process is to band the cluster of hemorrhoids at the source until the cluster dies and falls off, is flushed, and done away with. A near perfect parallel. Thank you.
Postmodernism was described as self-contradictory on "The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity" (1985), 32 years ago. Students never noticed that simple fact since today, when is too late for the most part of Europe.
Europe is dead, and the corpse is beginning to stink.
You can't just give up a one of few centers of civilization and freedom in the world!

Dear Dr. Peterson, in one of your lectures you compared the serotonergic circuitry in lobsters and humans, in addendum you spoke about amygdala:hippocampus size/activity. I forgot which lecture it was, but I found that particular data important. I would like to inquiry wether it was correct that the amygdala [and its' growth] correlates with increased emotional sensitivity, while hippocampal activity corresponds to suppression of emotions, and atrophy of the hippocampus thus results in reduced capacity in regards to emotional control/suppression?
God, is it weird that I feel empowered by this and I am getting rather emotional?
"-Taken away by your professors so you are stripped bare of anything but some vague sense that maybe you're a horrible racist unconsciously in some manner that you can't apparently detect; and then, be left with nothing but that for your hundred-thousand dollar investment..." KeK endorses this message.
Excellent. I'm competing with you on this, within my own realm of influence. I don't have the "how" yet, but you've helped me to see the "why."
paperEATER101 Jonathan Haidt brings up an interesting aspect on the subject in The Righteous Mind, in particular how the extreme left people in general tend to lack the understanding of certain moral values, what i mean is its not necessarily about agreeing, but to be able to comprehend certain positions, which, to really oversimplify it, enables people to have a conversation about the disagreement. Now we are all subject to this, and it's possible to program people into this, whether it be on purpose or, which is probably usually the case, as a result of pathological altruism based on some really faulty understanding. Anyway... This data coupled with the knowledge of how the brain works, i.e. combining long term memory with the thinking part of the brain, and how a well programmed long term memory can render it completely resistant to conflicting ideas, might give you some hints on how to work on a cure for this mind virus. Basically you need to reach the thinking part, which enables it to hold conflicting ideas, sort of nudge and massage that part, similarly to training a muscle, and hopefully a healthy brain should start functioning again, simply through questioning its own sincerity.
Maybe ;) I hope :-P
Thank you for being the one to speak clearly and truthfully to all of us about postmodernism Dr Peterson.
I would follow this man into hell
Ben M. We are already in Hell, lets figure out how to get out of it.
He is good. Very much in line with sikhism sometimes. Sikh gurus wrote against anti-religion/anti-dharam that might spread in the absence of religion/dharam. One of them goes in detail how over-sexualization of society might cause problems.. incest, homosexuality etc would become normal.. Traditional boundaries would disappear & new boundaries would be formed..new religions would form & then disappear bcuz they are not based on truth. Humans would act like demons & then this hindu mythical goddess(for visualization purposes, otherwise sikhs don't believe in these myths) appears to crush them & reestablish Dharam. Basically a battle of good vs evil, in the external world & as well as inside ur mind to conquer evil. Basically how JP uses christian stories.
That goddess represents Truth & wisdom that a learned sikh would have to fight these battles.
Many more hindu mythical stories & battles used to illustrate good vs evil & the fight within mind to conquer your senses, greed, lust, anger etc.
Ben M to slay the dragon of chaos in the final circle.
*sigh*
It isn't about religion/lack of religion. It is about the inordinate privileges women have over men in this society, and about the welfare state that came as a result of those privileges being extended to them.
If women had no choice but to stay faithful to a man, and raise children with him.. IF what they wanted was to have and raise children, we wouldn't see this sort of decay.
If women had to shoulder the responsibilities of men in return for their voting privileges, we would not have this problem.
If we didn't have a welfare state, we would not have this problem.
We would not have a welfare state, if voting rights were extended only to those whom are compelled into duties around society, aka tax paying and/or military service. Those people would have skin in the game, and would wield their right carefully, and would not vote themselves everyone else's money, since, it is their money.
Thats IT. Thats all it is. It has zero to do with religion, except in the fact that religious communities tend to compel women to not divorce their husbands, compel men not to abandon their wives, and compel couples to stay together in order to raise good children. But you don't have to have religion to do that. You have to make the incentives for divorce and abandonment non existent, and increase disincentives on ALL PARTIES, including women. That's it.
Its very simple.
Brian Minghella Oh please. Talk about first world problems.
Dr. Peterson,
The work of Ken Wilber will help you greatly. He has devised a framework that can clearly index all forms of epistemology including phenomenological and empirical (along with many others). The title of this video hints that you are not aware of his work. The paradigms you have discussed in your lectures have been addressed and resolved beautifully in the work of Ken Wilber. It really is impossible for me to understate his clarity.
I didn’t know how to contact you and be noticed amongst the waves of feedback you must be receiving. But please, hear my recommendation.
His book ‘A Brief History Of Everything’ is a great starting place.
Thank you for all your work and keep up the good fight.
Regards,
Meldar Murals
Prof. Peterson. I wish to be in your class group.
Fantastic speech, thank you!

Peterson never disappoints, never. A short video like this is a great introduction for anyone wanting to find out why he's so important to follow. The man is a genius, decent, brilliant and a good person.
These days instead of a bat symbol in the sky they should have a Kermit symbol
Professor, I do not think using statements involving punching is advantageous for you.
The beginning about infinite interpretations reminded me about "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide". There was this black bird-like device. It could percept things without filters (constraints). The device could grant wishes to its owners this way.
This one cuts deep. Great presentation of collection of ideas to strike down postmodern neomarxism. This feels comprehensive enough to counter postmodern neomarxism doctrine at it's core. This is a precision strike that has decimated their cult's core beliefs with force and power of intellect, sophistication and wisdom.
He really goes hard on them. Go Peterson!
I'm a bit worried by the suggestion at 19:50 that marxist apologetics should get people punched... Its so close to a call to violence and I don't want to see this ship sink over petty words.
He needs a break. His enemies are laying low, watching, waiting...
He's exhausted.
David M Completely agree. I cringe when intelligent ppl resort to violence as a solution. He needs to go to a lake and just listen to the water and birds for a few weeks.
It was a use of rhetoric, one that a SJW who conflates words with physical violence would understand. People of a reasonable mind (Dr. Peterson's usual audience) are not the kind of people who make that conflation and wouldn't punch an idiot commie in the nose.
David M The section before this he advocates fighting post modernism with what would amount to a blacklist. A blacklist of classes to be avoided overseen by whom? I love JP but hes showing too much anger here and there are negative paths he needs to be mindful of avoiding. Great power(influence)/great responsibility.
Well its the choice of individuals whether they attend postmodern classes, and it seems like they have statistically derived what postmodern classes look like, and are just making an index for people to write in. I don't think that there is anything Orwellian going on, just a voluntary system for people to keep track of what classes they really want to enroll in.
I can't think of any of the modern age clowns that fight for social justice to take it up with you in a debate.
I feel scared to be made a fool just thinking about it and I don't even hold those views. They've lost the war because they can't ascend to your level and talk with you in your domain sir, thank you for the rest of us who agree with you but lack the eloquence in words to speak our minds.
I'll do it.
The website Jordan Peterson is describing about 15 minutes in where you can input course descriptions does anyone have a link to that website if it does exist. I haven't been able to find it myself and clinical psychology is a field I'm considering getting into or at the very least would like to know more about.
This lecture should be seen in all universities in North-America and Europe.
I just worry that we are going to become so busy applauding him that we won't have time to applaud ourselves for understanding him. And then what will we do?
I'm a Philosophy and Portuguese Letter teacher, and when I was at University they REAAALLY try to indoctrinate me and I tought strange that there wasn't Philosophy or Letter or even Literature, just postmodernism. Now I understand what was going on I fight against it!
You can really see how sick and tired he is of these topics and that he actually has to speak about it. And this was in 2017...! Wish him all the best and much strength! (same as you guys, everyone needs it right now)
Too bad there is no link to the postmodernism detection AI in the description.
I've been playing around with AI recently, it would be interesting to see how someone else applied it to detecting community membership with word frequency analysis like that.
I wish you were my professor/president/prime minister/overlord/dad/grandad/son. Outstanding stuff as usual.
I'm addicted to Jordan Peterson. He's too interesting.
The quote at 10:50 is incredible. I must listen to it and memorize. Take care everyone! Things are getting better!
After listening to this. All I have to say is.. Thank you JBP.
For those of you that support Dr. Petersen's ideas, How have you put your support into action? Has anyone donated to his Patreon? Has anyone purchased the Self Authoring program? Has anyone written a well thought out letter to a legislator or College President? I am not looking to do a poll here, what I want is to incite you to action. Act today! Act large or act small, don't be evil but act today.
Terry Pullen here is my answer: I switched my master's degree from refugee education administration to educational policy and administration. I'm getting into Education Policy based on the thoughts and beliefs that I've developed through my personal studies motivated by JBP
Excellent! No better plan for life then to benefit yourself and others as well. Here's to a trailing wind. - P.S. Nice to meet a fellow with an actual name.
Terry Pullen Patreon supporter here. Also reading his book 'maps of meaning' at the moment. It probably sounds quite petty but I'm also learning to cook healthy meals and get my nutrition in order, hopefully looking to begin some physical training. Plan is to get my physical shape in order whilst educating myself and developing skills so that later down the line I can be of some semblance of use to others, all while living a life that I might actually find worth living.
Baby steps tho...

Donated. Got the Future Authoring program but haven't started it yet. And I try as best I can to counter the postmodern ideology I hear from my kids and encounter on Facebook and UA-cam.
And it's terrific to see young men grabbing hold of this! Keep it up dudes. The future is yours to win.
Go to a tall building and ask the social constructionists if they care to jump and prove that the law of gravity is a construct
(yes, an oldie, but still a good one)
your understanding of gravity is a human construct that has been changed and called out for being wrong multiple times before do you really think everything we know right now is definitive fact and will be that way forever if so advancements shouldnt be possible
@@jeffventures2430 wrong in details yes, but the concept of gravity (mass attracts mass) has remained has it not?
I would argue that learning the relationship of matter and energy didn't invalidate the original theory, but merely expended where it can be applied. So while our understanding of gravity has changed, we still have no reason to believe that gravity can exist in a way to contradict the original theory. If our understanding was merely a construct, in the sense that the social constructionists uses the term, then wouldn't that require saying something as drastic as "our understanding could change to mass repels mass"?
Basically I am arguing that empirical data is measure of reality that gets more accurate as we progress, rather then just a human construct that only exists because we created it. I think this is the idea the original comment is meant to portray.
@@viperstriker4728 yh i agree i wrote this a year ago...... I came to a better understanding and my perspective has changed.
Jordan we need you!!
Thanks for posting these.
Haven't watched a Peterson talk in some time. I find it increasingly difficult to localize what exactly he is mobilizing against, or what he stands for. Can anybody summarize it for me?
He's a con man. Peterson doesn't understand Marxism or postmodernism on a fundamental level. Postmodernism by all definitions is a metaphysical idea guided by time as a nonlinear abstract, whereas Marxism confines itself directly to the physical world. This is the main conflict between these ideologies and why a person can't reasonably be either. Actual postmodernists and actual Marxists are very antagonistic toward one another. But this is one in a very long line of Peterson pretending to understand things that he doesn't have a clue about, be it biology, anthropology, history, gender studies, etc.
@@surgeland9084 well pointed.
Criticism: don't punch a marxists, neomarxists, and trotskyists in the nose. I get that it was a turn of phrase by JBP but it was a bad use of words.
Marxists and company are worth opposing, but don't take that line as justification for initiating violence.
No, we must punch dem
Point Curation it was an obvious metaphor. He opened the lecture by saying that Marxism needed to be refuted intellectually. You must overcome low resolution thinking.
LOL
A bad use of words. Ooooh the irony
If our lord and savior Jordan Peterson wants to punch people then goddamn it his will be done!!!
Everytime I watch something, anything, from Jordan Peterson I'm surprised any my eyes "open"
Everytime, without fail.
If you stand for nothing
You fall for everything.
Jordan Peterson is a living legend!
Dr Petersen sure does makes me proud my degrees are in useful subjects like mechanical engr and geology.
The beginning of this speech is like he's directly expressing the intellectual road I went down about five years ago all the way to the conclusion of there being only a few viable options for how to percieve available to humans.
So concise. Jordan nailed it.
Another amazing talk! Did he ever take a breath in the 30 mins?
