I was wrong. I thought leftist, "social justice warriors," who were wailing about "the injustice and intolerance" of Jordan Peterson's opposition to Canadian federal bill C-16, regarding required use of various new pronouns were people of much noise, but little social value. Thanks to their vigorous complaining I decided to see what this Jordan Peterson was saying. I found out that not only is his opposition to C-16 rational, tolerant, and important, but he has a wealth of useful and practical insights into the human condition. Thank-you, social justice warriors for introducing me to Jordan Peterson. Now, I'm going to go clean my room :-)
From what I've read, though, his interpretation was incorrect. Peterson's defense of free speech is good, but the law doesn't require the use of any new pronouns; it mostly just adds gender identity to existing stuff about genocide and hate crimes, and hate speech laws are only used in extreme cases.
+Melville Capps Peterson's objection to C-16 was a publicity stunt designed to get attention and money. He fundamentally misrepresented the bill and continues to do so till this day. If his self-help platitudes helped you out that's great, but he is a fraud and a moron when it comes to any topic outside of clinical psychology.

To adversity Benjamin
I'm currently developing my focus, and have been doubtful if I should continue down this path for a multitude of reasons. But this lecture has taught me why I should continue down this path, but also why its my only real option now. I've walked down this path for too long now to turn back, this path has shaped me into who I am, and who I want to be. It just took this lecture to fully realize it, so thank you Jordan Peterson, you have given me one of the most important lectures of my life.
I think what attracts me to jordan peterson as a human being is the fact that I do not feel like he's giving me a sales pitch or a speech. I can clearly see him thinking and speaking at the same time rather than reading off a script. That's what I find so genuine.
One of the most underrated psychologists in our world. His ability too articulate what he has consumed intellectually and frame it in ones life to help them and or their society is second to none.
I think Jordan Peterson is nice to hear for most in their 20s, those younger may have difficulty grasping what he's saying, and those older may have already learned it.
7years later, I am watching this video...its amazing how consistency is a great tool to greatness. Jordan Peterson at this point never knew he would be a celebrity in this present day and Era 2020. Same way 7years from now whoever is reading this will be shocked to say this comment is so apt, therefore, i shouldn't look down on myself. I'd keep on being consistent in my hardwork and dedication.
He manages to go over a large amount of information in a small amount of time, which is part of his own mantra, to explain the most complex things in a simple way. Great lecture.
Yeah right! And it proves that he knows a lot lot lot more than what he is saying. On the other hand, people like me😅, while explaining a little thing make it seem like a big thing, and that specifies the horizons of our knowledge.
What I like about him is that he truly cares and honestly wants to heal the world to move society to consider each other. He doesn't seek to move his ego above others, he's remained humble. The only other person that I've read about that remained humble when faced with the possibility of power is President George Washington who after amassing a military force, defeating an enemy, winning a war walked away and went home . He was the first man to do that. Jordan Peterson doesn't demand or coerce his audience to follow him. He empowers the listener and encourages self healing and to pass the information on.
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." Such beautiful words. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
Great quote - but I am pedantic: the first two statements are contradictory. If one does "not cease from exploration" then there can be no "end ...". (Just sayng).
That may be because he said that he himself explores a topic in his speeches. He has lots of experience on the topic and just goes with the flow, and so does the audience who is also unknowingly exploring the topic.
@@Alternity666 I know what you mean. And I am an English teacher, Jordan Peterson has changed the lives of the students and relatives whom I showed them to and were able to understand him. I plan to translate him, but I work part time teaching English and part time web programming. My native language is Spanish, somewhere in the top 4 most spoken languages in the world, and it's a shame that I can barely find any videos of him with Spanish subtitles for my lower level students to get. Also, this is one of his most complex lectures, so it'll take me a while to get to this one.
Other experts prepare a TED talk and are able to present a snapshot into a complicated, specialized field. Jordan Peterson prepares a TED talk and covers the entirety of mortal existence.
incredible. Having sat through a whole semester of his course personality and its transformations, I can see that this was an incredible summation of a whole course.
I love Professor Peterson's passion - he puts forward his case for the importance of these ideas in such a way that makes you think that the life and death of civilization itself is on the line. Choose the upright path or all of civilization crumbles! It's a powerful message.
I believe that is his ultimate goal behind all his efforts. He understands that too many minds fall prey to the corrupt ways of things and he is providing a pathway/mindset to combat that. By providing good natured & logical perspectives he helps people lead successful & productive lives whilst still maintaining their good moral compass & integrity intact.
So was I but there is an inescapable feeling of emptiness that goes along with it, Peterson seems to connect the dots between rationality and subjectivity in a profound way.
I’m an atheist and a scientist but NOT nihilistic. How could anyone be nihilistic? Our mere existence against all odds, and the existence of our habitable precious earth is such a wonder to treasure! Our cosmos is vast and fascinating and filled with things to still discover! What a blessing it is to be able to exist at all and on top of it, to be able to think about these things! I’m sometimes sad when thinking about how short human life is, how I’ll never know what becomes of humanity or what technology we will still invent, what problems we will overcome. Every day, I’m aware of the fact that I’m already halfway to death (if I’m lucky), but if that pulls me down, I remind myself that I’m getting too greedy and have no right to think like that. I’ve been given a life! And that’s not nothing! 😉 Most people that could have existed (their genetic material) never did end up existing at all! We are the 0.0000...1%
Jordan Peterson speaks with such piercing focus, monumental intellect, and burning passion, one can't help but be mesmerized by him. This man is like the burning flame of modern civilization - a shining beacon for all those who are lost or buried under the weight of their own sadness and pain. I for one am very glad to have the opportunity to learn from his wisdom. He's not the father we deserve, but the one many of us desperately need right now.
I feel that my life is so much better since I found Jordan Peterson on line. Now I devour everything I can find that he has put on line. He has helped me make sense of this crazy world we live in.
This performance is Art. He’s covering a huge amount of information in this talk. It feels like one could write multiple books based on the information shared in this 20mins. I’m sure his lectures would outlive us all 🙏
JBP is a goldmine... I thought I watched every video of him, yet there is a Ted talk and hundreds of hours of lectures available popping up in my feeds
Wow.... This is powerful beyond words, and It also happens to be exactly what I need at this point in my life. Thank you once again Dr. Peterson for sharing your genius with us.
Camera angle places Peterson in front of the "U" in "U of T", thereby bisecting it, creating a "J of T". Jordan of Toronto, a man of philosophic glory and societal stirring. Love him or hate him, he packs amazing brain food.
I wrote to Professor Peterson and his reply was still enjoying a voice of a fan. I use his YT material (and writings) in my university teaching. I so LOVE his teachings.
Agreed! I had the pleasure of 'discovering' professor Peterson many years ago during an evening of television viewing ,when he was an invited guest on Steve Paikin's TVO program... Such an eloquent speaker. I've been hooked ever since :)
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." T. S. Eliot SO POWERFUL!
Unbelievable, Jordan Peterson never seas to impress. I was so engaged that I never bothered to ask why I was watching this which is exactly what he's referring to.
It is so great to listen to a person that is so passionate and knowledgeable like Jordan Peterson. His work and lectures are some of my favorites alongside the work of Alan Watts, Earl Nightingale, and Jamen Allen.
Have got to be one of his best speeches. It's so profound to realise this concept of things shining forth and to follow your intuition. It's remarkable where it will take you! Been trying to pay attention and be aware of what merely seems meaningful lately, and it is precisely like Peterson is saying. You become more grounded in a sense och more secure as a person, you can handle almost whatever's being tossed in your direction. SO COOL. Thank you.
The first time I was introduced to Mr Petersen was by my son giving me one of his books. As I read it, over and over I was finding that I knew in my soul what he was saying was what I knew in my soul. He is amazing.
You gave me a realization.. The only man I EVER called Dad (whom I wasn't related to at all.. a friends Dad) He was JUST LIKE Jordan Peterson.. more of a spiritual bend, but was very similar: HIGHLY intelligent, well spoken, passionate and a serious reader. He'd studied spirituality since he was a child.. And I learned from him, listened to him.. he even said we taught each other. The love that man gave to me will ALWAYS be missed. He saved my life in so many ways. I changed paths in Life the day I met him. And I am eternally grateful for that. He passed away almost a decade ago now.. and I do miss him dearly. But, I can keep going, knowing the love and knowledge he gave me was 2-3 lifetimes worth. So I carry on, doing my best.. he taught me to be proud of who I am, what I have accomplished, and to never quit trying.. no matter how bad it gets. I can achieve ANYTHING I set my mind to.. I just have to try. He adopted me as one of his own.. a poor kid with no dad.. and no real future.. and he showed me differently. And showed me courage and how to be courageous.. He saved my life. And he did it out of love. I got REALLY lucky. And I have a better life because of him.
Wow ... I've watched a number of his videos, but this one in particular really stood out to me and speaks to me the depth of the meaning of our existence, very relevant both to my lifelong exploration and to the point of my journey now...
Jordan Peterson always provides these brilliant and highly organized speeches. It was exactly what I would have expected when I was in my youth from a teacher. His wisdom is what is needed in this age that summarizes abstract concepts and philosophies into actionable plans.
Wow, if anything... listen and listen again... I needed this this morning. And I don't remember how I came across this. That burning desire to do something good and/or call someone, and/or be present for someone... after this, you'll know you know without question.
practically every time i hear this person talk, i am fascinated. it's like a big christmas dinner to my starving intellect. i'm also impressed by his integrity and social conscientiousness. never been interested in paying to go to university but if profs were more like JP.....may consider it. engaging and relevant.
agreed! I'm in college right now and we are all mostly in it for the degree because we want a job and we all lament the cost of tuition but sometimes when I hear some really amazing lectures and realize that as a student I can go to office hours and just make intellectual explorations with my professors and that its their job to discuss these things with me and give me access to the tons of obscure books in the school library that you wouldn't find in a public library I feel like college is a damn bargain and a blessing unlike any other. Until i get bogged down with work and tests and worrying about GPA and realize the neither myself nor any other students are really taking advantage of those things.
Fast forward to 2019 - 2020. Jordan Peterson is a game changer. There is a lot going on in this discussion. Pics up from 9 min and 15 minutes in. The learning transforms you and the nature of your goal. When your engaged in something, that's worthwhile.
this is the hardest thing i realized by myself, its that i need to develop towards something, and it is better to be something, even small and weak, than nothing... freedom bores me now, i want to achieve things, and coming back to road will be harder, but im my own man, i can do this...
This is one of the most dense and insightful TedTalks that exists. Having said that, I am a bit surprised that it wasn't banned on the same ignorant grounds as Rupert Sheldrake's and Graham Hancock's were.
I think I get you, but I wouldn't call them sloppy as much as blunt. Sheldrake is a proper scientist. Still, it shows a general lack of openness from TED.
Do you think a paper by JP on the subject of bias in peer review would pass peer review? By the nature of the content alone, it most probably wouldn't. It is the nature of his topics that prevents RS from getting published. I think he sees and agrees with all the general points that JP would. It's just that JP is braver in taking on institutionalized opponents directly... in playing their game and forcing that game to implode. RS is more of a recluse in that regard. His writing is good, but he generally doesn't want to play the game. He rejects offers to speak with people like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins because he knows that will lead to the same ontological roadblock that SH and JP recently came to. Fair enough, because it would. I wouldn't call RS sloppy... just more reclusive. GH just has a general lack of organization, which is why his books are so damn long. Sloppy? Sure, but his general points are on the right track too. I think that's all he cares about, and that's fine.
Rupert Sheldrake being the guy who said that gravity is not constant so we should question the theories where average gravity is used? I mean averages are not new and the guy did not even consider that the molten parts of earth's core are enough to create variations in gravity.
Im pretty confident graham was banned soley because his ted talk was about ayhuasica. No more or no less of a reason. I couldnt imagine ted talk advocating someone saying you should do lsd either. Not that ayhuasica is bad, just controversial. I havent watched rupart sheldrakes. I will now tho. Im sure there was a reason.
What I love the most about this is that he doesn't have a pre-script that he's going off of. Nor does he have a pre-prepared speech his mind. Instead, he has a bare skeleton of what he's talking about, and then he speaks the truth (i.e. speaks his mind and articulates his train of thought).
One of the greatest minds and teachers of all time. He'll take you all the way through and out the other side. He really helped me get a cohesive handle on a variety of subjects. The way he weaves so many subjects together into something you can understand is key, but even more in how he teaches you to look at things. Thankful for his work. :)

Joseph: Yes, and if he can do what he does while sick, just imagine what he could do and be if he got healthy.
I'm currently developing my focus, and have been doubtful if I should continue down this path for a multitude of reasons. But this lecture has taught me why I should continue down this path, but also why its my only real option now. I've walked down this path for too long now to turn back, this path has shaped me into who I am, and who I want to be. It just took this lecture to fully realize it, so thank you Jordan Peterson, you have given me one of the most important lectures of my life.
Here's to hoping it's not a serial killer, or it is and you learn why it's wrong! Haha
I think what attracts me to jordan peterson as a human being is the fact that I do not feel like he's giving me a sales pitch or a speech. I can clearly see him thinking and speaking at the same time rather than reading off a script. That's what I find so genuine.
One of the most underrated psychologists in our world. His ability too articulate what he has consumed intellectually and frame it in ones life to help them and or their society is second to none.
He certainly isnt under rated. As of late people keep asking him if he is a prophet.
I think Jordan Peterson is nice to hear for most in their 20s, those younger may have difficulty grasping what he's saying, and those older may have already learned it.
The formation of a jewel as a metaphor for developing integrity and persistence in the face of adversity was a pleasing and effective choice.

7years later, I am watching this video...its amazing how consistency is a great tool to greatness. Jordan Peterson at this point never knew he would be a celebrity in this present day and Era 2020. Same way 7years from now whoever is reading this will be shocked to say this comment is so apt, therefore, i shouldn't look down on myself. I'd keep on being consistent in my hardwork and dedication.
He manages to go over a large amount of information in a small amount of time, which is part of his own mantra, to explain the most complex things in a simple way. Great lecture.
Yeah right! And it proves that he knows a lot lot lot more than what he is saying.
On the other hand, people like me😅, while explaining a little thing make it seem like a big thing, and that specifies the horizons of our knowledge.
What I like about him is that he truly cares and honestly wants to heal the world to move society to consider each other. He doesn't seek to move his ego above others, he's remained humble.
The only other person that I've read about that remained humble when faced with the possibility of power is President George Washington who after amassing a military force, defeating an enemy, winning a war walked away and went home . He was the first man to do that.
Jordan Peterson doesn't demand or coerce his audience to follow him. He empowers the listener and encourages self healing and to pass the information on.
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
Such beautiful words. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
This quote is by T. S. Eliot, nor Dr. Peterson. Just so you know.
That is the archetypal heroes' journey by the way. You can see it unfold in so many stories.
Great quote - but I am pedantic: the first two statements are contradictory. If one does "not cease from exploration" then there can be no "end ...". (Just sayng).
It means we're born and then we explore and then we die and we're reborn (sorry for so many ands) to repeat that. Am I right?
My thoughts are constantly switching from „I understand“ to „Nope, lost him“. „Oh, but now I get it“
thats Jordanpeterson technique,..makes you feel clever,
@@marklewis4793 if he where to tell me that he makes that on porpouse id believe him ngl
Me too! 😅
If you do some reading (or listening) about history, it really helps to grasp most concepts he teaches. His history lessons are the best.
That may be because he said that he himself explores a topic in his speeches. He has lots of experience on the topic and just goes with the flow, and so does the audience who is also unknowingly exploring the topic.
It's insulting that most ted talks are translated in almost 30 languages. This has auto-generated subtitles...
This man deserves way, way better
They need to be manually added, so if you think it's a shame, take your time and translate it in your language.
@@Alternity666 I know what you mean. And I am an English teacher, Jordan Peterson has changed the lives of the students and relatives whom I showed them to and were able to understand him. I plan to translate him, but I work part time teaching English and part time web programming. My native language is Spanish, somewhere in the top 4 most spoken languages in the world, and it's a shame that I can barely find any videos of him with Spanish subtitles for my lower level students to get. Also, this is one of his most complex lectures, so it'll take me a while to get to this one.
@@Venezuelangel I agree man, and i would be more than happy to add the subtitles in the 3 languages I speak, but it is not enabled.
Just saying...
@@Alternity666 Thing is, many people would love to translate it as myself, but it's not enabled on this video
That would be a good way to learn / develop Spanish I think.
Other experts prepare a TED talk and are able to present a snapshot into a complicated, specialized field.
Jordan Peterson prepares a TED talk and covers the entirety of mortal existence.
That was an awesome comment.
Great comment
incredible. Having sat through a whole semester of his course personality and its transformations, I can see that this was an incredible summation of a whole course.
I love Professor Peterson's passion - he puts forward his case for the importance of these ideas in such a way that makes you think that the life and death of civilization itself is on the line. Choose the upright path or all of civilization crumbles! It's a powerful message.
I believe that is his ultimate goal behind all his efforts. He understands that too many minds fall prey to the corrupt ways of things and he is providing a pathway/mindset to combat that. By providing good natured & logical perspectives he helps people lead successful & productive lives whilst still maintaining their good moral compass & integrity intact.
The best Ted talk I've ever seen
I was a scientific nihilist before Jordan Peterson, amazing mind.
same here
same here
The Thinking Moderate M rational nihilist
So was I but there is an inescapable feeling of emptiness that goes along with it, Peterson seems to connect the dots between rationality and subjectivity in a profound way.
I’m an atheist and a scientist but NOT nihilistic. How could anyone be nihilistic? Our mere existence against all odds, and the existence of our habitable precious earth is such a wonder to treasure! Our cosmos is vast and fascinating and filled with things to still discover! What a blessing it is to be able to exist at all and on top of it, to be able to think about these things! I’m sometimes sad when thinking about how short human life is, how I’ll never know what becomes of humanity or what technology we will still invent, what problems we will overcome. Every day, I’m aware of the fact that I’m already halfway to death (if I’m lucky), but if that pulls me down, I remind myself that I’m getting too greedy and have no right to think like that. I’ve been given a life! And that’s not nothing! 😉 Most people that could have existed (their genetic material) never did end up existing at all! We are the 0.0000...1%
One of the best Peterson's conference ever. So many insights in each sentence. Definitely to be studied word by word.
This man is a gift. God bless him and his work.
Jordan Peterson speaks with such piercing focus, monumental intellect, and burning passion, one can't help but be mesmerized by him. This man is like the burning flame of modern civilization - a shining beacon for all those who are lost or buried under the weight of their own sadness and pain. I for one am very glad to have the opportunity to learn from his wisdom. He's not the father we deserve, but the one many of us desperately need right now.
Miss you Dr. Peterson. Hope you are doing well, we hope to hear from you again soon!
I feel that my life is so much better since I found Jordan Peterson on line. Now I devour everything I can find that he has put on line. He has helped me make sense of this crazy world we live in.
Well said my dear , how are you doing my dear?
I'm so glad to have had this professor in real life, he's pretty amazing.
EASILY, the most underrated video on UA-cam. This man is... I can't
This performance is Art. He’s covering a huge amount of information in this talk. It feels like one could write multiple books based on the information shared in this 20mins.
I’m sure his lectures would outlive us all 🙏
JBP is a goldmine... I thought I watched every video of him, yet there is a Ted talk and hundreds of hours of lectures available popping up in my feeds
Wow.... This is powerful beyond words, and It also happens to be exactly what I need at this point in my life. Thank you once again Dr. Peterson for sharing your genius with us.
same here. bon courage
So much heart, and so much depth! This is genuinely refreshing! Excellent TED Talk!!!
Every time I watch JP I am so gutted he wasn’t there for me 20 years ago! Ah... the time I have wasted.
And you know what he would say - give up the hope of a better past.
Camera angle places Peterson in front of the "U" in "U of T", thereby bisecting it, creating a "J of T". Jordan of Toronto, a man of philosophic glory and societal stirring. Love him or hate him, he packs amazing brain food.
I wrote to Professor Peterson and his reply was still enjoying a voice of a fan. I use his YT material (and writings) in my university teaching. I so LOVE his teachings.
sounds like a cult leader
Agreed!
I had the pleasure of 'discovering' professor Peterson many years ago during an evening of television viewing ,when he was an invited guest on Steve Paikin's TVO program...
Such an eloquent speaker. I've been hooked ever since :)
That T.S. Elliot quote is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing i've ever read. If you could sum up the meaning of "Hope", that would be it.
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." T. S. Eliot
SO POWERFUL!
Unbelievable, Jordan Peterson never seas to impress. I was so engaged that I never bothered to ask why I was watching this which is exactly what he's referring to.
It is so great to listen to a person that is so passionate and knowledgeable like Jordan Peterson. His work and lectures are some of my favorites alongside the work of Alan Watts, Earl Nightingale, and Jamen Allen.
He was already a powerful lobster
“As you hit yourself against the world, you’ll tap yourself into alignment” What a quote that is from Dr Jordan Peterson.
Have got to be one of his best speeches. It's so profound to realise this concept of things shining forth and to follow your intuition. It's remarkable where it will take you! Been trying to pay attention and be aware of what merely seems meaningful lately, and it is precisely like Peterson is saying. You become more grounded in a sense och more secure as a person, you can handle almost whatever's being tossed in your direction. SO COOL. Thank you.
The first time I was introduced to Mr Petersen was by my son giving me one of his books. As I read it, over and over I was finding that I knew in my soul what he was saying was what I knew in my soul. He is amazing.
I listen to this over and over and always gain more insight. He is an absolute gift to the world.
you can't know how grateful I am for Jordan Peterson
Man, what I wouldn't give to be this man's FREIND. -To just be able to SIT, and HAVE A CONVERSATION with him, or even just SOMEBODY LIKE HIM...
You gave me a realization..
The only man I EVER called Dad (whom I wasn't related to at all.. a friends Dad)
He was JUST LIKE Jordan Peterson.. more of a spiritual bend, but was very similar:
HIGHLY intelligent, well spoken, passionate and a serious reader. He'd studied spirituality since he was a child..
And I learned from him, listened to him.. he even said we taught each other. The love that man gave to me will ALWAYS be missed. He saved my life in so many ways. I changed paths in Life the day I met him. And I am eternally grateful for that.
He passed away almost a decade ago now.. and I do miss him dearly. But, I can keep going, knowing the love and knowledge he gave me was 2-3 lifetimes worth. So I carry on, doing my best.. he taught me to be proud of who I am, what I have accomplished, and to never quit trying.. no matter how bad it gets. I can achieve ANYTHING I set my mind to.. I just have to try.
He adopted me as one of his own.. a poor kid with no dad.. and no real future.. and he showed me differently. And showed me courage and how to be courageous.. He saved my life. And he did it out of love. I got REALLY lucky. And I have a better life because of him.
Watch Jordan Peterson try to cram all the content of Maps of Meaning into one twenty-minute TEDx talk!
Dr Peterson is a voice for such a time as this. Pure gold!!
Well said my dear, how are you doing today?
This talk encapsulates the major themes of jordan peterson's body of work.
Wow ... I've watched a number of his videos, but this one in particular really stood out to me and speaks to me the depth of the meaning of our existence, very relevant both to my lifelong exploration and to the point of my journey now...
I think i need to listen to this 7 times to get it! This man is out of this world. Thank you.
Wow! Extremely interesting concepts. I would recommend other videos of Jordan Peterson as well, this guy is sharp.
Jordan Peterson always provides these brilliant and highly organized speeches. It was exactly what I would have expected when I was in my youth from a teacher. His wisdom is what is needed in this age that summarizes abstract concepts and philosophies into actionable plans.
Wow..this is my favorite professor from university! He was always so inspiring and smart :)
I'm truly jealous you got to have Jordan as your professor! :)
Rajnesh Sharma just pushups and running until my gym opens back up
@@mikemcconville2495 lol wtf
So many lives this man changed positively, including mine.
It's nice to hear him speak without being interrupted every other sentence.
Wow, if anything... listen and listen again... I needed this this morning. And I don't remember how I came across this. That burning desire to do something good and/or call someone, and/or be present for someone... after this, you'll know you know without question.
Ive watched a few of his lectures and I'm always impressed by his intelligence, this particular one struck me because it shows his wisdom.
I am so grateful for Jordan Peterson. He literally changed my life. Thankful to ever come across his works. I have so much love for him.
practically every time i hear this person talk, i am fascinated. it's like a big christmas dinner to my starving intellect. i'm also impressed by his integrity and social conscientiousness. never been interested in paying to go to university but if profs were more like JP.....may consider it. engaging and relevant.
agreed! I'm in college right now and we are all mostly in it for the degree because we want a job and we all lament the cost of tuition but sometimes when I hear some really amazing lectures and realize that as a student I can go to office hours and just make intellectual explorations with my professors and that its their job to discuss these things with me and give me access to the tons of obscure books in the school library that you wouldn't find in a public library I feel like college is a damn bargain and a blessing unlike any other.
Until i get bogged down with work and tests and worrying about GPA and realize the neither myself nor any other students are really taking advantage of those things.
Fast forward to 2019 - 2020. Jordan Peterson is a game changer. There is a lot going on in this discussion. Pics up from 9 min and 15 minutes in. The learning transforms you and the nature of your goal. When your engaged in something, that's worthwhile.
It's like a poetry listening to him talk
this is the hardest thing i realized by myself, its that i need to develop towards something, and it is better to be something, even small and weak, than nothing... freedom bores me now, i want to achieve things, and coming back to road will be harder, but im my own man, i can do this...
Me too, man. You've got this.
This is one of the most dense and insightful TedTalks that exists. Having said that, I am a bit surprised that it wasn't banned on the same ignorant grounds as Rupert Sheldrake's and Graham Hancock's were.
I think I get you, but I wouldn't call them sloppy as much as blunt. Sheldrake is a proper scientist. Still, it shows a general lack of openness from TED.
Do you think a paper by JP on the subject of bias in peer review would pass peer review? By the nature of the content alone, it most probably wouldn't. It is the nature of his topics that prevents RS from getting published. I think he sees and agrees with all the general points that JP would. It's just that JP is braver in taking on institutionalized opponents directly... in playing their game and forcing that game to implode. RS is more of a recluse in that regard. His writing is good, but he generally doesn't want to play the game. He rejects offers to speak with people like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins because he knows that will lead to the same ontological roadblock that SH and JP recently came to. Fair enough, because it would. I wouldn't call RS sloppy... just more reclusive. GH just has a general lack of organization, which is why his books are so damn long. Sloppy? Sure, but his general points are on the right track too. I think that's all he cares about, and that's fine.
Why would this be banned its completely uncontroversial.
Rupert Sheldrake being the guy who said that gravity is not constant so we should question the theories where average gravity is used? I mean averages are not new and the guy did not even consider that the molten parts of earth's core are enough to create variations in gravity.
Im pretty confident graham was banned soley because his ted talk was about ayhuasica. No more or no less of a reason. I couldnt imagine ted talk advocating someone saying you should do lsd either. Not that ayhuasica is bad, just controversial. I havent watched rupart sheldrakes. I will now tho. Im sure there was a reason.
This man just amazes me
What I love the most about this is that he doesn't have a pre-script that he's going off of. Nor does he have a pre-prepared speech his mind. Instead, he has a bare skeleton of what he's talking about, and then he speaks the truth (i.e. speaks his mind and articulates his train of thought).
One of the greatest minds and teachers of all time. He'll take you all the way through and out the other side. He really helped me get a cohesive handle on a variety of subjects. The way he weaves so many subjects together into something you can understand is key, but even more in how he teaches you to look at things. Thankful for his work. :)
This is one of, if not the best, TEDtalk I've seen.
The first video I discovered you I rewinded paused rewind furiously taking notes. You hypnotized me. I will follow you. I love your ideology, your passion, voice, intellect and the way you share it ♥️
JP is a real inspiration for me.
Jordan Peterson such a brilliant thinker.
Until I watched this, I didnt realise that I already understood that, the lesson of virtue is life long.
This guy is amazing. I need to catch up to what he's saying because it all went over my head. But there is so much there.
One of the intellectuals of our century! He is an ocean of knowledge.
I wish I could have a professor like him, this is what we need today.
YES! There exist pathological belief systems! Thank you Dr. Peterson!
Converting the vid to mp3. from Philippines
This Professor is one of the Greatest Thinkers this Planet has had.
SO Profound ! Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you !!!
This beats any motivational or self-help video you can watch.
everything that he says is so packed
jordan peterson is one of the very few proffesors who transform the world into words without changing the reality of its being , with you life began and through you shall continue until knowledge dies with your death , the explorer.
Nobody writes how handsome Dr. Peterson is!
may be because everyone is distractred with his eloquence
It would have been just as effective, if spoken by the elephant man...perhaps more.
Thank you prof Peterson for your great effort to bring meaning into people's lives. I keep coming back to this brilliant talk to keep myself aligned with the meaningful things in my life. You bring more than hope into my life. Thank you...
Generational genius of our time
This lecture is so so important and also is Jordan Peterson. He's a beacon of light in a really dark world.
