      That’s true. But at the same time, people criticize him on some of the things he says as if he just “made it up”, or as if he’s creating a train of thought that hasn’t been developed extensively before he was even in the picture. He’s thought harder about certain subjects than some people who claim he’s a bigot. It’s often clear in the dialogue he has with those people, too.

    Nietzsche gets famous for saying something casually and easy to misinterpret. Sounds like he would have been amazing in today's time with Twitter existing

    • @philosonic
      @philosonic 4 роки тому +73

      Casually? No. Do you even know which book this quote appears in? It's easy to misinterpret because of the vast mediocrity of scholars who think philosophy is easy to dabble in and thus quickly draw conclusions on what they read without challenging their convictions. Dr. Peterson, while saying this quote is always taken out of context (which it is), never actually put it into context in the video. It is ideal to provide context before reading the quote or work to understand its position in history (the historical moment/environment in which it was created) as well as the quote's position and relationship to other parts of the book in which it is found. If Dr. Peterson did this he would have a much more clear understanding and better interpretation than what he says in this video.

    I feel like, especially with his last segment of sentence there, and also considering his ideas of the Last Man and the Super Man, that his whole statement is more about humans falling into existential crisis at the knowledge of a lack of Divine Motivator (in whatever shape it may come) and coming out as self-actualized people with human-centered motivations... freed from the tightrope of humanity - between divinity and animality.

    Do any of you notice how when you look at people who've typically gone through a lot of heartache throughout their life, it really shows on their face? I don't know everything Jordan Peterson has gone through, but a career in psychology and counselling is common among people who've personally suffered in their own lives as well. One could argue we all suffer in different ways; it's the human condition (which is true), but I'm talking specifically like REAL tragedy, like real unbearable, twisted pain. I know this doesn't have a lot to do with the video, but as soon as I really took a look at the way his face looked, it reminded me of the faces of people I've met who've struggled with abuse, neglect, or loss.

We do everything to try to eliminate uncertainty; getting a stable job, insurance policies, systemized law enforcement, etc. But it's never enough, especially since there's no insurance policy on death, so throughout history, in almost every religion, we made a story about an after life, because it just cannot end. Religion is the biggest uncertainty reliever ever, saying there's an almighty being that can just do it all, and will take care of you. Of course, this argument I''m making doesn't say there exists or doesn't exists a god... that's a question you have to answer with evidence or lack-thereof. But knowing that not all religions/gods are true/exists, we can at least explain why humans made up those religions/gods we know aren't true/exist. Thats my take.

Science tells us how things are/were and does not say anything on how things should be. Ex. Science can tell us about climate change but what we should do about it is a question science is silent on as it is a moral/ethical question and science is silent on those issues.
      As such, we cannot form ideas of society based on evidence from science which is A. Incomplete and B. Silent on the issues at hand.

If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.
    12 Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of naught; wherefore there would have been no a purpose in the end of its creation. Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God and his eternal purposes, and also the power, and the mercy, and the justice of God.
    13 And if ye shall say there is no law, ye shall also say there is no sin. If ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say there is no righteousness. And if there be no righteousness there be no happiness. And if there be no righteousness nor happiness there be no punishment nor misery. And if these things are not there is no God. And if there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

      His point here seems to be less, how to put it, hyperbolic then stuff he says when he got famous. He seems to be saying that having a value-system or set of moral beliefs is always better than not having one because without a value-system you 1) can't make decisions and 2) your life has no purpose . He also seems to be saying that some value systems are better then others, his example here being some sort of left wing value system being not as good as some other kind of one which he doesn't specifie. What I really don't get is why he thinks that value-systems or moral beliefs have to be based on axiomatic values. To me, this seems to be the most unnietzchean aspect of what he is advocating for here. For nietzsche it seems that belief in God was belief in something like a fundamental, universal principle which ultimately turned out to have nihilist consequences. It seems to me that Nietsches endorsement of creation of new values, transvaluation of all values and eternal reaccurance are all opposed to the idea of something like an 'axiomatic value'. Axioms seem part and parcel of what nietzche sees as old metaphysical dogmas about absolute, eternal truths that have some kind of purity to them existing apart from everything else and above everything else. It seems more than JP agrees with Ns diagnosis that the absence of religious belief creates moral problems that are not adequately solved by rationality (i.e. moral theories such as deontology, utilitarianism, ect) but perhaps for the opposite reason that N thinks so as N sees that kind of rationality as still holding on to a metaphysical view of truth as unconditionally valuable and independent of live and historical processes of evaluation while JP seems to be implying that it rational approaches to morality aren't absolute enough or something. JP like N does approach from a psychological standpoint, JP seems concerned with relation between moral belief and life as it is lived rather than morality in the abstract but unwilling to explore the consequences of a philosophy which embraces psychologism in the way that N is.

    This is absolutely profound. This is what Peterson is trying so hard to tell the world. Christianity has utility is what he is saying. He is standing on Kierkegaard's precipice and knows that taking the leap is too absurd. But as a Christian I applaud what he is doing. He is offering the world an existential take on religion. And the world cannot even take that. They'd rather take Nietzche's declaration and not his warning. "God is dead and we killed him!" Nietzche is yelling a warning. What is left? Chaos! Of course there is more to the story but this is just a post on a UA-cam video. God bless Jordan Peterson, a true existentialist, a gadfly, and a brave soul.
