  • Jordan B. Peterson is a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, and a clinical psychologist, with two main areas of study: the psychology of belief, including religion, mythology and political ideology; and the assessment and improvement of personality,
    including the prediction of creativity and academic and industrial performance.
    After completing his undergrad degree at Grande Prairie College and the University of Alberta, Dr. Peterson earned a Ph.D. in psychology at McGill in 1991, and was a post-doc at McGill's Douglas Hospital. In 1993, he joined the psychology faculty at Harvard. He moved to the University of Toronto in 1997. His work has been funded by SSHRC, CIHR and NSERC (major Canadian granting agencies), and the Rotman Business School Center for Integrative Thinking. He was nominated for the Levenson Prize at Harvard in 1998, and by TVO each year from 2005-2008 as one of Ontario's Best University Lecturers. He also serves as an essayist and panelist for TVO's The Agenda, a well-known Canadian current affairs program, and is a popular source of information for other media outlets, including TVO's Big Ideas, which has televised five of his lectures.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

      If they all try to advise you to become a better version of yourself it doesn’t mean they’re the same thing
      There’s no PRETEND with Doctor Peterson
      It’s all cumulative knowledge through decades and decades of saturated hard work and study, if you try to bring down the molarity, you’ll see he’s studied longer than when your or my grandfather was born
      He’s a prime condensation of the intelligence of three generations of psychologists at the very least
      We have psychologists
      We have great psychologists
      We have professional psychologists
      Then we have Jordan Peterson
      I won’t be surprised if his name went amongst Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud when he passed away, and as in discovery but as in achievement, this hero will become a legend,
      Better value this treasure while he’s around, he has had a lot of stress and pressure lately I’m worried about him

    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 :-)

    • @Eudaletism
      @Eudaletism 6 років тому +12

      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.

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.

So if you are dealing with adversity, that's where it's coming from. So, consider yourself special when that happens. You've been chosen. Chose light instead of darkness and keep studying scripture. You will be rewarded. Adversity never ends whether you believe in the Spirit or not. It's about blind faith. The most powerful weapon against adversity ever! So the bottom line is that you will be able to confront adversity and not be affected by it because the Spirit got your back.

However, this room is not just a physical space, it is my life. If you ever face adversity from our other counterparts of the youth, know that adversity is the key to a path which commences by failure, which is in turn the key to learning. The things you have learned and the new ideas formed by this process will start to manifest themselves into improvement. And after an x amount of time, those improvements are to be called succes.

    Ibsen's Peer Gynt's ultimate lesson: move THROUGH anxiety-creating experiences rather than around them or retrenching before them. When the trolls tell the hero, Peer Gynt, to "Go back! Go around!" Peer Gynt responds, "Ah! No! This time straight through." -Rollo May. Thank you for reminding me of this, Dr. Peterson, as I really needed to reinforce my strength today. Agree with you on so many points. Your work continues to light the way for those who can see the light you shine. Wishing you continued to strength in your personal quests.

    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’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%

    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.

      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.

      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.
