I did my master in social work at Boston University, and all they taught me was postmodernism. They never said they were indoctrinating me in that, but they only analyzed social issues from that perspective and any other perspective was not allowed or put as morally wrong. Graduated as a social justice warrior in 2016, elevated by my professors for my skills as a SJW, treated social issues and even my patients under those lenses, and then after one year, I moved back to my home country, Peru. In Peru social issues are often addressed from the leftist perspective, we have single payers health care and education, we have minimum wage, and an acceptance for big powerful government as the savior for all social problems. I got to see how it did NOT work and created tyranny in which the most affected ones were the poor and vulnerable, the same people SJW claimed to advocate for. I couldn’t understand it, how come they implemented the social policies my professors said would create equity and instead created more social problems? I started questioning everything I was taught and I started seeing and living the injustices of the so called “social justice”. One year later of exposure to the “social justice” approach and I left the left and became a libertarian. Now I believe in the power of the individual to advance in life, I believe big governments are destined to be inefficient, and I believe dividing society in groups harms the country and the human spirit. I really hope the U.S and Canada can get their universities back from this ideology before is too late, I wouldn’t want them to become developing countries like mine that get to live the injustice of the so called "social justice".
A legal doctrine is something like a virus, it has something like a life. If you let it go into a living system it propagates. It has effects and the effects are a consequence of the philosophy embedded in the law. If you really want to know about this you should read Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" because what he does in that book is tell you how the hypothetically humane doctrines that were embedded in radical Marxism at the end of the 1800's unfolded into Soviet Society and demolished it.
After thorough review of political outcomes, which includes my experience as a member of a political tribe for some years and seeing some of what goes on behind the scenes, it all reveals one core principle... "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Thus, power should be distributed and diffused as much as possible.
Paul The Legend Capitalism and Marxism are economic theories, not forms of government. Typically, a Republic system of government seems to spread the power the most. The USA has different governments that attempt keep each other in check.
Professor Peterson is exactly right about Education degrees. Mine was poisoned by post modern ideology. I always wondered why my lecturers scolded me and penalised my grades when I suggested that early childhood education needed a greater male presence to balance the role models young children have, and to acknowledge the value of what children can learn from women AND men. Missed out on graduating with honours thanks to my 'unacceptable' vision for early childhood teaching. But I dodged a bullet by not being indoctrinated.
well that's interesting you say this as I'm doing my degree in Early Childhood education and its 'the poor menz' narrative and hero worshiping all over the place, and I too and being fed post modernist garbage- that men by virtue of maleness being discriminated in our sector need affirmative action to bridge their so called disadvantage. Too bad we couldn't have swapped universities. Liberalism is a mental disease whichever angle they play opression olympics..
Minty Moo sounds like you're having an interesting experience as well. Should be more about educating children than playing the victim game. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your degree :)
Storm Warning what ive noticed is that anyone that goes through the schooling system and praises it, is clearly unable to think critically and ask questions. When i went to school, i hated it, no one had explanations for my questions. No one knew why a central banking system was a bad idea, no one knew where money came from or what happened to the ressources of Canada... and then I realized the fraud and I was called crazy and everyone attempted to put me in jail or drug me because i was outspoken against the fact that we, as a people, are getting ripped off daily by our own system. We trade irreplaceable ressources for monopoly money that is worthless.We manufacture research to suit the political agenda, we manufacture teachers to pursue the political agenda and when you point out the fallacies, everyone turns against you because they fear the idea of themselves being duped... They refuse to accept that they have been stupid and uncritical. www.bankofcanada.ca/ "We are Canada's central bank. We work to preserve the value of money by keeping inflation low and stable." Isnt that one of the main tenets of marxism? communism? I once went to the website to see how they got paid... Its a crown corporation, it gets paid in precious metals at the value of the stock market. Since ive pointed that out, their entire website has been revamped and turned into a suburb of dead ends. We are being raped everyday and no one seems to notice.... Bitcoin is going to destroy everything... especially the poor if they dont wake up to the technological revolution that is about to take place, that is why they set up ethereum and have been on the assault for 7 years with fake news and fear campaigns against bitcoin. Do youself a favor and ditch fiat or suffer the consequences.
I am a graduate of OISE, the University of Toronto school of education. I can confirm that all that Dr. Peterson says is true. It was a real struggle to finished my BEd degree because I'm not a social justice warrior, but my professors and most of my colleagues were. Critical thinking---real critical thinking-- was discouraged. We either fell in line with the ideals of diversity, equity, and so on, molded in the postmodern view, or we were not fit to be teachers. I worry about the most recent graduates after Bill C-16. Thank you Dr. Peterson. You are speaking up about something important.
the elite want this for there agenda's of total control. Ofcourse these brainwashed leftish people dont see this, until them self would live in a communist world. Then they are truly a slave, but cant do much about it
Yeah. Absolutely. Teachers should not believe that equity or diversity are worthy aims. They should instead teach that inequity is built into the human genome, and then leaps from there into the social order. They should simply look at the diversity of the cultural and biological spheres and say, "you don't exist." Because clearly, there is no diversity; and it's much better to not acknowledge that diversity - as in psychological or cultural or social difference - exists. Blinders are good, and especially resentment of the different is good. Never acknowledge that anything that is unlike oneself exists. Live only for yourself. Know only about yourself, or about an idea of yourself that is like Robinson Crusoe: alone, self-made, having no cultural or social inheritance, no dependence on all that historically and culturally and socially has been accumulated.
I'm from India and it's true for most of the world, the humanities dept has become a left liberal fortress and if you don't parrot their agenda they'd make sure you don't get your degree.
@@sh2939 Indeed, you wont be killed, but if you dont act a certain way, you cannot get a job or money to provide for your self and family. Some call it facists or communists. I believe the un is behind things like this
P. S I have a similar experience.In my writing class at uni in the states, I did writing project about "refugees". I took the stance against refugees and just wrote the fact how the society was fooled by muslims, and the fake refugees, and the teacher advised me to edit my draft cause it sounded like racist. I didn't get it and still don't get it at all. I'm okay with diversity, and it seems like muslims want monoculturalism? And Europe doesn't look like Europe, and not just in Europe, anywhere I go, because of muslims, they all lost their own heritage somehow in the name of multiculturalism and this only happens where muslims are majority. Stop saying they are minority anymore. They are not. I remember this guy said to a black guy you're majority, especially in London, and I agreed with him ( never said this outloud though) and the black guy was staring the white guy making thr atmosphere awkward so the white guy corrected himself. Why did he have to correct himself when he said nothing wrong? In addition, I'm an artist myself, and it feels like in this industry, to be successful, you must produce something related to the issues that please leftists, and I'm not so much into that kind of stuff at all, and feel fearful to express my view which is quite opposite to the leftists and sometimes what I want to write has nothing to do with politics so I'm worried if my work will be underestimated get much attention because it's not interest if theirs.
My sister is a canadian citizen. My brother is Australian citizen. Iam still an Indian. I have persuaded them to side with Conservatives.Peterson is bang on when he warns immigrants- 'the libs are not your friends"!

After going through school in Sweden we are not tought shit about communism and its horrific past. I had to educate myself as an adult to the horrors that was/is communism
Hi, I'm a swedish 19 year old, meaning last year I finished gymnasiet, and honestly I don't feel any of the schools I've studied at has shown communism to be positive in any sense. In fact it has always been made very clear what a negative effect it has on countries and populations. Maye that's because of the schools I've been to, or the teachers I've had, I don't know for sure. But just maybe You could have listened to what your teachers and study material said, and possibly even analyzed it. Sorry om det lät ojust haha
I had to do that too and im from America. Ive been to some fairly good schools too. I didnt really know what communism was until i got curious after killing russian communists in a fucking video game. Then i googled it. I learned more about communism being a libertarian and educating myself than i have from being in school. And what i discovered is that school doesent teach you about communism because they ARE teaching you to BE a communist.
well, they have to teach about history, not about evil deeds of one particular ideology in history. I guess it's more like teacher's personal preference to put emphasis on one thing and undermine the other one. When I'm listening to what young people in USA are saying I really have an impression that they were well educated on fascism and holocaust but were barely introduced with evil deeds of Communists. But I really hope that it's not like that in Sweden
I had to go to a party full of these leftist ideologues, the whole time they talked about race, splitting everyone into groups and camps. One dude went as far as to say "I hate straight white people" (He was a gay white male), I honestly couldn't make this up. My generation the millennials are beyond help at this point. We under perform at work because my fellow generation see the peak of the mountain not the climb. We constantly get offended at everything which has driven me to be a conservative. I didn't have it easy but that doesn't make me oppressed. Having to work through barriers makes you stronger and a better person. This whole victim culture needs to stop, it's not healthy for society. It is making things worse.
@ Gareth Schatynski I am glad you've found your way to sanity! Honestly, I am in my 40s and I would not want to be a young person today. The world's always been crazy but I swear, the past 10 years or so, it feels like the craziness has been put on fast forward!
Gareth Schatynski yep the victim culture is making me crazy. I'm this evil oppressor even I haven't done anything wrong like that. I will never forget or forgive the Democrats for doing this to our country. Racism isn't ok against whites either!
They are a generation of mocking birds, feeding themselves to the wolves. It is hard to imagine anything besides drastic measures turning the Marxist tide that is now drowning out western civilization.
David Gwin : Boomers are, by definition, born between 1946-64 & thus are mostly retired for a few years now. Generation X is born between 1965-'84 & together with the youngest Boomers, the elder Gen.Xers are in charge now.
I'm an old educator. Read unabridged Gulag Archipelig in 84. By the way, required reading in contemporary Russian High School. U.S. kids have no idea. This stuff is real & scary as hell..! Good God.
It is not required. We read another book by the same author in high school though. What we have read was "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich". It is also about a soviet camp.

I can't believe I just caught up with this now, and the publication date was July 2017? That means that Jordan Peterson almost precisely predicted the Lindsay Shepherd scandal. Wow. Good work.
actually the scandal was totally random...anything would "predict" what was coming ..it's not like Lindsay is even KNOWN. we wouldn't even know her name if it weren't for this man.... so the the whole Lindsay incident was just ammunition, but no one's ever HEARD of her or cared one whit what happened to her. . they're far too busy waving placards to care about one person who fell along the way
Zippy_UK - Yeah, but some people are more equal than others, those who get to “share” everything out. One scoop for you, one for you .... aaannd, all the rest for me.
@@sirrathersplendid4825 in capitalist system is "I produced 10 scoops so these are for me, you have made only 1, so this is for you". In socialist system the share would be like 25 for one, 25 for the second one and 50 for government. The natural difference between people with their abilities on inabilities to create and make stuff is ignored. Socialism is a perfect system for people who lack of intelligence, who are timid. The bad thing with capitalism that in the end the owners of capital will have everything if they won't f***p up at some point, the good thing is that you can make t to the top with proper strategies and decisions in your life. The bad thing with socialism is that it takes away motivation to work, to invent - why to struggle if you'll get your share just because you exist... oh, and the ones in power will live as the richest ones (the ones that are more equal than others) in capitalist system and they will rule you not with the power of money, but with brute force of interventionalism - you will end up in jail if you won't give away at least half of what you have made.
@@kavolis Except there is a lack of incentive to innovate in a capitalist environment because the company will steal your work saying you made it because of their resources, furthermore the people on top actively work to prevent newcomers from rising up. The 1% is almost all old money besides those who came into it from new markets such as computers which by now is also already dominated by a wealthy elite.
@@DavianLicanius Oh, OK. Interesting point of view and interesting logic (I don't agree, though), but I feel that you won't apply same logic, say, to people of non-left wing.

Morgan, Rockefeller, Rothschild and so on), thus the isteria in the media when Trump decided to go against expansion of Chinese influence. Trumps wealth is a joke compared to the money these guys dispose.

Oh, it's a global issue. This isn't just affecting the west. Its affecting south America to. You think when western culture is destroyed that they'll be satisfied? No. They'll move on to other cultures, and they'll destroy them to, they're already trying to push their agenda onto Japan and the Japanese people, so the cultural Colonisation of asia has just begun. It's about global control, until all dissent ideas, people, or nations are eliminated.

You fucking crazy and evidentially incorrect.
The fact that you felt the urge to preface your comment by immediately denying religious association is ironically a product of postmodernist influence. The objective morality and certainty of the devout are seen as shameful within the new societal structure, and you made certain to distance yourself from them. The archetypal "I'm not religious but I support X" comment is a very commonly aggrandized statement across the internet, specifically because it resonates with this new disgust for religion that many internalize. You don't want to be falsely labeled as some sort of shameful superstitious person or zealous Biblical literalist protestant. But your comment only serves to further disparage religion, and you're indirectly working against those who fight for meaning and objectivity, including Mr. Peterson himself. Ironic.
Luminous Darkness calm down. Jordan Peterson has helped me and probably many others come closer to religion. Your dissection of someone thanking god for Jordan Peterson even though they aren’t religious is the reason a lot of people get pushed away. He’s appreciating Jordan Peterson. You are ruining good work. It’s not that complicated.
Very true I am reading the Gulag Archipelago and actually had to put it down 187 pages in and the killing has not stopped. Equity, utopia? Do the math.
@dato gegeshidze if you were in Stalins position, and you have a good heart unlike Stalin, it wouldn't matter because the cold sociopath right behind you will backstab you and usurp your position.
Indeed. It's a depressing, chilling thing to talk to young university students in anonymous chats and hear them say they disagree with the post-modern leftist radicalism sold as tolerance, anti-patriotism, demonization of conservatism and blatant racism, but fearing the social backlash starting from their left-leaning friends, they stay silent and invisible. And then they grow up and watch the same thing happen in society at large. And they stay silent and invisible, because they fear for their jobs. Time goes by and the decay worsens. It's too much to ask a couple of individuals to stand up, stand your ground and make your stand. No one or two individuals can fix this. No matter how courageous and full of energy, it calls for collective effort. The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. And evil is not in entities; it's a collaboration.
Jarad - Jelle doesn't want proof or discussions, doesn't care - only wants to prove 'racism' is everywhere. That's the nature of cult-like indoctrination, since we are talking about Social Justice types and Group Identity Politics that are meant to supplant discussion and reason.

"Small minority who are pushing these things." The same happened with Mao. He only had a small band, but they were able to control 100s of millions of people.
In the UK, I have generally been happy not to have guns (US is different and I support guns there), but fairly recently, the British police have been raiding people that have been labelled 'Far Righ't even when these people are not and have not hurt anyone. Police have started acting like political thugs and it is deeply worrying. I write to MPs and get no response or, if I'm lucky, meaningless platitudes.
Matt Westbrook; There's a 1962 book called "Escape From Red China". It was written by a man who was a business man at the time Mao came to power. He described how things became increasingly oppressive. He was not so much judgmental, but more of a chronicler of events. He eventually escaped to Hong Kong and the book ended just before the Mao induced famine that killed millions. Under Mao, logic went out the window. Instead of putting (or allowing to continue) competent managers in charge of factories or farmers who knew how to farm in charge of food production, it was a case of political chronysm where people who hadn't a clue were the ones to take over. The constant changing of policies and the threat of sanctions against potential dissident voices kept most of the population in a state of fear. It was the uncertainty of what will happen to you and your family when you are already in a meager state that subdued the masses and all with just a small group of Yesmen that acted as Mao's henchmen and go-doers. The Nazis carried out a similar tactic on an individual scale when they herded people off trains and into the death camps. They knew that if the people shuffling to their deaths all attacked them on mass, they would have been overwhelmed, so they would not let them stop. They kept them moving (creating constant change in their immediate circumstances) and by doing so were able to march the inmates to their own doom on their own feet.
I have not adverse things happen to me with the police yet because I am not as physically active as some due to work commitments and I am not a high enough profile in the writing world, but friends of mine who are more into things have had a few interactions. I joined some of them in a small demo last year and the police were called by some people inside the building we outside of. They had been told that we were harassing or some such thing. Two police officers turned up just to monitor things and one of them asked me how long the demo was expected to last for. There was only about a dozen of us, but at one point a police helicopter passed slowly overhead.

jeep23862 Antifa is what they call themselfs you living under a rock? They are an anarcho communist group who regularly participate in political violence. Even a cursory ammount of research would reveal this to you.
jeep23862 I would argue that they are anti facist in name only or rather their definition of facist is anyone who disagrees with their Marxist ideology so that they can justify committing political violence against them. I'm anti facist in that I disagree with facisim (bit of an understament) their allusion to being anarco communists is notable in the red and black flags in their emblem and the fact that many of them openly declare themselves to be so. Now I find facisim and communisim to be equally messed up and murderous ideologys but I think they both have a right to spew their nonsense when it comes to political violence though it is always unacceptable.
Is this guy what passes for a professor ? He may have some correct conclusions but a broken clock is right twice a day. Cultural Marxism was the product of the Frankfurt School (a think tank in Frankfurt Germany). They fled Germany when Hitler was coming to power and went to America. They recognised pitting the working class against the rich did not work as WW1 had proved the people will rally to their country, not their class. They recognised the only way to create the reveloution was to have the country tear its self apart, and they needed all underclasses to oppose their direct oppressor. There they influenced Academia and culture. In the 60's it began with black rights (who had genuine grievances) and spread to women (feminism) who had all their genuine issues sorted by the Equal Pay Act 1964. yet they persist. The other victim groups were in place and active long before the 70's

To be an Anti-Fascist is not necessarily to Communist. If you are a committed Communist you cannot at the same time a socialist in the Marxist, Das Kapital, sense, So the meaning of the word Antifa (Anti-Fascist) is correct. Simply to tar everybody who is anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro-socialist or Liberal democratic a Communist just shows how silly, ignorant and pathetically naive some but not all on the far right are.
I can’t state how much I love this man. It’s very hard to find someone IN THE MEDIA who is smart and speaks the truth without hesitation. One of my wishes is to meet this man and look him in the eye and say thank you. Good job man.
I've been waiting my entire life for someone to be able to articulate so brilliantly what I have not been able to. Dr. Peterson's bravery and ideas gives me so much hope. It's late in the game, for certain, however, the Fat Lady hasn't sung yet. Oops, did I "trigger" someone?
Do you have anything better to do than bring up the oh so tired notion of "straw men"? That's like 8th grade debate class material. It gets so old. And I actually "triggered" you! LOL
No you didn't trigger anyone. There's nothing 8th grade about pointing out the fallacy in your argument. The 8th grade standard comes from the fact your argument had such a fallacy in the first place. Don't you have anything better to say?
My family fled the USSR in the 50’s during the Cold War. They do not teach about Stalin in school, Mao, and Pol Pot. What’s happening in America is one of my worst fears. We are so divided with the sensationalized, bit-sized media not helping and the inability to have civil discourse that it feels we are headed towards a civil war at times. There is pressure not to be patriotic. Free speech is being threatened due to immense social pressure otherwise you will be bullied, shamed, even cut off by friends and family if you disagree with any aspect of the pushed ideology. My millennial peers have little to no critical thinking skills. They want to fit in so they echo what’s trendy and what will get them to be socially accepted. Study Yuri Bezmenov.
Exactly! I graduated HS in 2014 and the furthest we touched on the Soviet was Animal Farm (which is no direct fault of my English teacher at that time but the willful blindness of the naive individuals in the educational system). My grandparents and parents fled Vietnam and had dark stories to tell about the communists. While i attend universities to see woke students running around deconstructing America, and proudly wear the hammer and sickle banner under the guise of virtues. And they can climb ranks in their department for being such compassionate people and speaking on behalf of the oppressed while they sit in the lap a well protected neighborhood, state, and country and virtue signal on social media

Agreed. I've watched him be interviewed and I laugh when they try to paraphrase him with less words. It obviously would take many more words to make what he is saying understandable for a larger and less intelligent audience.
Accept everything he says is just rhetoric. He actually doesn't trace or engage with the ideas he's supposedly critical of at all he just repeats straw mans like "identity politics", "communitarian ideals", "postmodern ideas".. He's no better than a conspiracy theorist, and appeals to his butt hurt audience in the same way. I bet he's never read much of Derrida, postmodernism isn't even a philosophy, it's more a historical moment analysed in late capitalism by many thinkers.
listening to him feels refreshing but somewhat painfull too. He is honest, knowledgeable and articulate, but he also exposes your inner insecurities and some horrifying aspects of human nature. Listening to him is exciting and enlightening, and in order to be enlightened you first need to be exposed to a little darkness.
Not a genius. Just intelligent and fully in command of his subject. Most people in academia used to be like this. Sadly no longer - presumably as equal opportunities took its toll and the standards fell.
What he is saying is completely correct. I am a graduate student in education, and it is complete indoctrination. They present no educational philosophy except social reconstructionism and its various Marxist suborders. Eventually, it will get to the point where schools will be segregated again by gender, race, and sexual identity. One school for heterosexual Black girls. One school for gay White boys. etc. It is sick, and will not end well.
Genius? No. Damn good psychologists, certainly. His take on many philosophical issues are problematic. As a lay person, which he is, he has quite solid insights. As a philosopher, well, he just isn't. He conflates a lot of elements, such as the Frankfurt School and postmodernism. He frequently constructs invalid, and incorrect arguments, in pursuit of his complaints regarding contemporary states of affairs. His 'end state' complaints are focused well: his focus of identity politics, SJW's, language control, and thought control are well structured. People should, in my opinion, remind themselves that he's not a philosopher with an education in the field, but instead a lay person who had went back into schools of thoughts, garnered at best an introductory level understanding, then picked elements that would best buttress his arguments.
He had already stated that in the video, that the post-modernists are not a united, organized group like the communists in Russia that started the October Revolution, they are more like a bunch of scattered individuals, that probably why they are not the same as, let's say, the Illuminati.
Haha, this guy is as incompetent at history as any high school drop out. He knows jack shit about history. He just tries to find ways to make parts of history support his BS.
The social justice warrior trolls without jobs and reading communist tracs are alive and well. They can’t even define or understand the words, let alone the topic. Emotional appeals with four letter words are preferred over actual textbook material that requires thought and work. I teach school and the shallow thinking is not allowed in my classes! They are required to work, something the Social Justice warriors haven’t learned to do!
Update on my English class... my teacher said we should start teaching Spanglish in schools as the primary language because English is oppressive and disenfranchises minorities... and he said hes teaching us this because he knows a lot of this class CALLED "STRATEGIES FOR ACADEMIC WRITING" are going into education... this is the opposite of what we should be learning in a class with this title
I had to smile when you said that about your teacher's reason for converting to Spanglish. Years ago in Miami, when the argument of the day was naming Dade County "" officially " a dual language county (English/Spanish), the trend of the day among black Americans was to convert from Christianity to Islam--for the same reason!
It's alright with me if you don't speak english. It's up to you how well you want to do in life. Ignorance is and always will be...it's own reward. I Spain I speak spanish, in France, french, and in Germany, german. Get a brain and use it!
Oh.my.word. where was this video when I was doing my MA at the University of Alberta??? This would have helped me so much in my marxist indoctrination classes! Sadly I seemed to be the only one who disagreed with all the ridiculous "cultural theory", that I didn't dare speak out too much.
@Je suis Achmed All the usual texts read in a critical theory or modern languages and culture studies class. We studied deconstuctionism, post-colonialism, feminism, post-modernism, structuralism, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, semiotics, queer theory.....

@@bettyboo8214 JP doesn't even know what post modernism is, yet he argues it like some self proclaimed expert. But that is the smaller of his problems. He makes claims about how psychology relates to biology with out even showing a proper model for it. There is no way to test his claims because they make no proper predictions. That is one of the definitions of pseudoscience.
@@MegaBanneundervalued comment. I know this is 4 years late but you are correct. Neither does JP understand (or to be charitable properly represent) post modernism he is nothing but a grifter who appropriates jungian psychology as if it’s logos or even telos. “Post-modern/ist/ism” has been completely caricatured and an ideologue like this who is appealing to and has an audience with regular people can peddle out this cultural Marxist conspiracy bs. As some one who studies and endeavours to write in a type of post-modernism or post-structural tradition, generally the university system totally rejects these positions. With the capture of science on philosophy (the naturalisation of metaphysics) continental philosophy, existentialism, post-modernism what ever, it’s entirely ignored in favour of analytical scientist, pragmatism and materialist imperialism. This guys bullshit claims of a capture of university spaces is nothing but a conspiracy theory. The cultural Marxist theory that shares space with white genocide neo nazi theories
@@brentjones2991 Yeah, the thing is that dealing with a postmodern analysis of science is hard, because it questions the ability for science to do what it is suppose to be an expert at to begin with. The philosophy becomes heavy pretty quickly when applied to science and logic. Like imagine dealing with the topic of how math is a systematized expression of human biases. How math is limited by the type of minds that originally spawns it. A modernist take would be to essentialize math in to something inherent to nature, which is like every person doing math lol. Personally I love the idea of advancing beyond it.
Peterson can kiss my ass. He is riding a wave of scared white Christian men who are playing the role of victim and pretending some veil of persecution has settled over them and their noble dreams. Go away and study some actual sociology rather than spewing your made up nonsense Peterson!
the cultural Marxism conspiracy is just a continuation in a different name of the Judaeo-bolshevik conspiracy invented by the nazis. hes a crypto-fascists, why cant people see this?
It's mind blowing how JBP has this subject down. He can off the top of his head talk about this subject that if you would write it down you'd have a perfectly structured piece of text
unfortunately this video reveals Peterson to be a total pseud. he may or may not have read the original texts he's talking about, but he clearly misunderstands them. it appears that he's never talked with a self-declared postmodernist himself. SJWs are not actually postmodernists, they're opportunists. Derrida's goal was to SAVE the west and the humanities from being taken over by hypocrites. Derrida is not significantly different from Heidegger in his attitude towards the western tradition, he simply has different things he wants to save. Peterson is also trying to save the west, and similar to Derrida, he does NOT want to save the neoplatonic/christian tradition!! Amazing!!! Derrida and Peterson are very similar, stop the presses!! But Derrida is trying to fix actual philosophy, while Peterson wants to replace philosophy with a jungian/campbellian hero's journey, which is not the western tradition at all. he is selling snake oil, narcissistic masturbation, made possible by fleeting psychological myths that work best on white guys who wanna stay the heroes of the civilizational story even as civilization collapses (no wonder the alt right loves this guy). as i said, Peterson is a pseud, he may be right on transgenderism or whatever, but he completely ignores world-problems
Iam sorry, but you failed to provide any arguments for you accusations. As it stands you might just as well be a narcissistic weeabu with a hard on for boring. but destructive ideas and a hate for everything good who can't stand the idea of his pet topic being bad mouthed by some old dude on the internet. I mean sure, I have nothing to back this up, but there exactly lies the problems: you do not either. Well on the other hand you have a degenerate cartoon character for an avatar and a moon rune user name, and your post smells of self importance. ... so who knows?
No man, you did not. You just put up some allegations without giving any proof. You're right, like most of petersons followers I haven't read any book by Derrida. I am preoccupied with cleaning up my room. Thereafter I'm going to sort myself out, but in the mean time you might be interested in at least posting some examples where you see statements like "Peterson wants to replace philosophy with a jungian/campbellian hero's journey" reflected, or cite some quotation that in fact proof that both Peterson and Derrida are indeed alike . I mean that's probably easy, given how much of an expert you seem to be. But if you can't, and baseless accusations are the rules of the game, I too have some to make. I actually am surprised that you believed you provided any argument, and not just a set of unfounded thesis's. (And I really hope I am misunderstanding the word reading, but if for any reason my non-fluent-english-understanding is right, than the statement that you having allegedly read derrida being an actual argument, is so borderline retarded, that I might be at awe how you manage to not forget breathing.) Edit: Just in case, I do not demand any actual citation, as much as I want an answer to 'why you think that is' to your statements, because without clarifying that question you're not having any argument.
fyi, this is youtube comments not a f_____ing masters thesis. i offered a thesis that is indeed "founded", it is based on my personal reading of campbell, jung, derrida, and peterson. i don't know why you consider that "retarded". philosophy is not maths, dude, it's a big conversation. if i were to say something like "i believe plato's ideal republic resembles nazi germany" (not my actual belief!!!!), that would be a big generalization, but it's not an "unfounded thesis" nor is it "bullshit". if i were writing a masters' thesis on that i would need citations, but for a youtube comment, it's not "bullshit" to offer just a general thesis on peterson without citations, in the same way that saying "anita sarkeesian is a whiny twit" doesn't need citations while I would be interested in you trying to disprove what I wrote using quotations and citations of your own, i'm not gonna pull books off my shelf for a youtube argument... if you think what i wrote is absurd on its face, I'm not going to claim to understand your position, but I'm content to leave you ro it.
@Takiado "he is doing his damnest to rescue its foundations and essence for his students and the world." The "essence of christianity," you say? Look up Feuerbach. What you're talking about was already proved pointless about 150 years ago. Remember Marx's reply to him? You're talking about something different from me. when I say "christian tradition" i mean the divine reality of the soul. you're talking about Peterson's jungian crap, which goes down a well-trodden road he doesn't even realize exists.

Lol nah, more like watching Zecharia Sitchin translating Sumerian writings. Jordan Peterson is a fucking joke. The only way to take this fuck nut seriously is to have absolutely no clue about the idea and cultural history of the last 200 years. It is not that Jordan is simply wrong about somethings. He has absolutely no idea about what he is talking about. He just happens to sound certain about his BS.

'GULAG: A History' by Anne Applebaum is a good read. As an American of Polish descent I am disgusted and dismayed to see my family embrace this postmodernism in Progressivism which tenents reflect the communism that my grandparents fled. I listen attentively to Dr. Peterson in order to hone my sense of situational awareness. Dr. Peterson used the word 'talent' once. Before that I was thinking that God given talent describes each one of us as individuals. How many talents do you have? At what ages will you discover and/or pursue development of that or those talents which will be SHARED with other INDIVIDUALS who contribute their own set of gifts? What human freak of nature has the malevolent talent to KILL this Providential human interaction? Good vs Evil. As the Poles chanted, "We want God!". PRAY.
mintberry crunch from my reading of the episode there was nothing unconscious about the behavior of that barista. I have been in many Starbucks and found people waiting for another with NO Starbucks drink or food in hand and nary was there a problem. I ALSO have been in Starbucks and while I waited NOT purchased anything. And nary a problem. It seems to me that Starbucks has a company open door policy that invites people in on the assumption that they will eventually make a purchase during that visit. Why that particular barista took that particular action? Only the gods know, but it sure cost Starbucks a pretty penny.
21:28 Education, my profession, is drenched in Marxist thought straight through. The worst part is that most educators aren't even aware they're indoctrinated, with resistance to seeing that fact being a built in part of he indoctrination. Combating a memetic force designed to annihilate everything our ancestors produced is difficult as it is, doing so in an overtly clandestine manner is impossible which is why I recommend Catholic Schools or Home Schooling for children as one has exhibited a strong track-record of resisting, at least any fundamental changes Marxist thought and post-modernism could affect while the other rebalances the entire equation. Public Schooling is presently an exercise in eroding what is good in a person. 35:28 and THERE IT IS.

This is truly THE video to watch, covers so much. Absolutely loved it, sadly my postmodernist friends won't even take the time to watch this, let alone listen and try to digest it.

Where I live, they worship Adorno, Horckheimer and all the other philosophers of the postmodern Frankfurt School. They paint big pictures of them on the University buildings. We will never get rid of their ideology in the near or mid term future. That would so antisemetic you know.
I remember being bombarded with it whilst studying a law degree at the University of Bristol during the early 1990s when it was known as CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES.
Marxism and post modernism have nothing in common. Post modernism is the idea that basically everything is a social construct, however marx did not believe this at all. Marx was a materialist and believed that we should use dialectical materialism to look at history, and use materialism as a basis for are decisions. It was in fact marxists who were the first to critique post modernist ideas and even Habermas, a famous marxist from the frankfurt school, mad a critique of post modernism and neiztchein philosophy.
Their connection is that both philosophies result in encouraging the demolition of the current system of capitalism and reward for merit. Both ideologies have been used to feed people's greed for control over others in the pursuit of a Utopia - be that social justice or deconstruction of societal norms through fiat. Capitalist systems governed by common law and democracy ensure the regulation of tyrannical systems through the principle of the sovereignty of the individual.
Remember, cultural Marxism is not a Marxism. It takes aspects of Marxism, but filter them through their dogmatic postmodernist believe and came out as Cultural Marxism. NSDAP was called social democratic party. Was it socially democratic? Yeah, maybe for few months, but then evolved to Nazism. Marxism was about to overthrow Bourgeoisie. What came out? Communism. KLDR have democratic in their name. Is it democratic?
Here is where the ideas intersect....Marxists, although claiming to be strict materialists, made unjustified teleological claims about social evolution. They also contradicted themselves by promoting the IDEA that economics, not IDEAS, governed all. So "the good" was defined as moving forward, making progress towards Marxism. All morality was reduced to whether or not it furthered "the cause". Deconstructing the current regime opens the way for Marxism, so anything you can do to undermine society is good. Post-modernism is a perfect instrument for doing this. So they in fact DO have something very fundamental in common, an imperative to deconstruct everything and reduce things to collectivism. Am I wrong????

@@floaton3 I know people who have also studied philosophy and what they got from it were things like: “there’s no truth” which is a total paradoxical statement. Modern philosophy half of it is just brain melting garbage. He’s definitely not wrong.
@@d.jonsson1756 first you think Jordan is correct and ask what he got wrong. Then you just dismiss the whole field of study when confronted with the truth. How much denying reality do you normally do daily?
Sorry Jordie, more impressive philosophers have worked at explaining Derrida’s premier notion -deconstruction/. It is about the relationship of words to meaning. Something that escapes your puerile attempt at deconstructing Derrida. Rorty contends, "words have meaning only because of contrast-effects with other words...no word can acquire meaning in the way in which philosophers from Aristotle to Bertrand Russell have hoped it might-by being the unmediated expression of something non-linguistic (e.g., an emotion, a sense-datum, a physical object, an idea, a Platonic Form)".
Apparently the you tube bots think we are not supposed to listen to this, it’s being slowed down radically. This is an outrage , censorship at its worst.
I have to admire Peterson for having the intestinal and mental fortitude to actually read Derida and his ilk. I was never able to hack my way thru much of it because it made no sense to me.
He mentions the corruption of social work. He just rattles it off in a list and didn't elaborate on it specifically. While some of what they're taught may be wrong, in function, the social workers I've engaged with have been very helpful at a practical level. So, my counselor focuses a lot on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients to create structure, and other practical measures. I also know social workers that literally drive people around, take them for walks, errands, and assist them with other practical things. Over the course of 6 years, I don't think I've seen one hint of post-modern ideology. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but at least in my neck of the woods in Canada, the system is producing social workers who are helping people through means that we know work.
I’m not entirely sure Peterson has actually read the work of these postmodern philosophers he’s referring to. A lot of this is pretty inaccurate, spoken in half truths, or flat out wrong… but he sure does say it with conviction! I would advise any Jordan Peterson fan to actually read the work of post modernism before just taking this guys word for it. He is definitely swayed towards a political bias. Postmodernism, it would appear, is often used by Jordan as a convenient boogie man to support the status quo and reinforce a certain political ideology. That’s fine if that’s what you’re into but it’s not the most accurate portrayal of postmodernism…
I did my master in social work at Boston University, and all they taught me was postmodernism. They never said they were indoctrinating me in that, but they only analyzed social issues from that perspective and any other perspective was not allowed or put as morally wrong. Graduated as a social justice warrior in 2016, elevated by my professors for my skills as a SJW, treated social issues and even my patients under those lenses, and then after one year, I moved back to my home country, Peru. In Peru social issues are often addressed from the leftist perspective, we have single payers health care and education, we have minimum wage, and an acceptance for big powerful government as the savior for all social problems. I got to see how it did NOT work and created tyranny in which the most affected ones were the poor and vulnerable, the same people SJW claimed to advocate for. I couldn’t understand it, how come they implemented the social policies my professors said would create equity and instead created more social problems? I started questioning everything I was taught and I started seeing and living the injustices of the so called “social justice”. One year later of exposure to the “social justice” approach and I left the left and became a libertarian. Now I believe in the power of the individual to advance in life, I believe big governments are destined to be inefficient, and I believe dividing society in groups harms the country and the human spirit. I really hope the U.S and Canada can get their universities back from this ideology before is too late, I wouldn’t want them to become developing countries like mine that get to live the injustice of the so called "social justice".
A legal doctrine is something like a virus, it has something like a life. If you let it go into a living system it propagates. It has effects and the effects are a consequence of the philosophy embedded in the law. If you really want to know about this you should read Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" because what he does in that book is tell you how the hypothetically humane doctrines that were embedded in radical Marxism at the end of the 1800's unfolded into Soviet Society and demolished it.

After thorough review of political outcomes, which includes my experience as a member of a political tribe for some years and seeing some of what goes on behind the scenes, it all reveals one core principle... "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Thus, power should be distributed and diffused as much as possible.
@@Weeki5 So which method is better for diffusing power, Marxism or capitalism? (or something else)

Professor Peterson is exactly right about Education degrees. Mine was poisoned by post modern ideology. I always wondered why my lecturers scolded me and penalised my grades when I suggested that early childhood education needed a greater male presence to balance the role models young children have, and to acknowledge the value of what children can learn from women AND men. Missed out on graduating with honours thanks to my 'unacceptable' vision for early childhood teaching. But I dodged a bullet by not being indoctrinated.
well that's interesting you say this as I'm doing my degree in Early Childhood education and its 'the poor menz' narrative and hero worshiping all over the place, and I too and being fed post modernist garbage- that men by virtue of maleness being discriminated in our sector need affirmative action to bridge their so called disadvantage. Too bad we couldn't have swapped universities. Liberalism is a mental disease whichever angle they play opression olympics..
Minty Moo sounds like you're having an interesting experience as well. Should be more about educating children than playing the victim game. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your degree :)

what ive noticed is that anyone that goes through the schooling system and praises it, is clearly unable to think critically and ask questions. When i went to school, i hated it, no one had explanations for my questions. No one knew why a central banking system was a bad idea, no one knew where money came from or what happened to the ressources of Canada... and then I realized the fraud and I was called crazy and everyone attempted to put me in jail or drug me because i was outspoken against the fact that we, as a people, are getting ripped off daily by our own system. We trade irreplaceable ressources for monopoly money that is worthless.We manufacture research to suit the political agenda, we manufacture teachers to pursue the political agenda and when you point out the fallacies, everyone turns against you because they fear the idea of themselves being duped... They refuse to accept that they have been stupid and uncritical.

I am a graduate of OISE, the University of Toronto school of education. I can confirm that all that Dr. Peterson says is true. It was a real struggle to finished my BEd degree because I'm not a social justice warrior, but my professors and most of my colleagues were. Critical thinking---real critical thinking-- was discouraged. We either fell in line with the ideals of diversity, equity, and so on, molded in the postmodern view, or we were not fit to be teachers. I worry about the most recent graduates after Bill C-16. Thank you Dr. Peterson. You are speaking up about something important.
the elite want this for there agenda's of total control. Ofcourse these brainwashed leftish people dont see this, until them self would live in a communist world. Then they are truly a slave, but cant do much about it
Yeah. Absolutely. Teachers should not believe that equity or diversity are worthy aims. They should instead teach that inequity is built into the human genome, and then leaps from there into the social order. They should simply look at the diversity of the cultural and biological spheres and say, "you don't exist." Because clearly, there is no diversity; and it's much better to not acknowledge that diversity - as in psychological or cultural or social difference - exists. Blinders are good, and especially resentment of the different is good. Never acknowledge that anything that is unlike oneself exists. Live only for yourself. Know only about yourself, or about an idea of yourself that is like Robinson Crusoe: alone, self-made, having no cultural or social inheritance, no dependence on all that historically and culturally and socially has been accumulated.

I took the stance against refugees and just wrote the fact how the society was fooled by muslims, and the fake refugees, and the teacher advised me to edit my draft cause it sounded like racist. I didn't get it and still don't get it at all. I'm okay with diversity, and it seems like muslims want monoculturalism? And Europe doesn't look like Europe, and not just in Europe, anywhere I go, because of muslims, they all lost their own heritage somehow in the name of multiculturalism and this only happens where muslims are majority. Stop saying they are minority anymore. They are not. I remember this guy said to a black guy you're majority, especially in London, and I agreed with him ( never said this outloud though) and the black guy was staring the white guy making thr atmosphere awkward so the white guy corrected himself. Why did he have to correct himself when he said nothing wrong?
In addition, I'm an artist myself, and it feels like in this industry, to be successful, you must produce something related to the issues that please leftists, and I'm not so much into that kind of stuff at all, and feel fearful to express my view which is quite opposite to the leftists and sometimes what I want to write has nothing to do with politics so I'm worried if my work will be underestimated get much attention because it's not interest if theirs.

After going through school in Sweden we are not tought shit about communism and its horrific past. I had to educate myself as an adult to the horrors that was/is communism
jo hu ...that's unbelievable that you were not taught that.
Hi, I'm a swedish 19 year old, meaning last year I finished gymnasiet, and honestly I don't feel any of the schools I've studied at has shown communism to be positive in any sense. In fact it has always been made very clear what a negative effect it has on countries and populations. Maye that's because of the schools I've been to, or the teachers I've had, I don't know for sure. But just maybe You could have listened to what your teachers and study material said, and possibly even analyzed it. Sorry om det lät ojust haha
I had to do that too and im from America. Ive been to some fairly good schools too.
I didnt really know what communism was until i got curious after killing russian communists in a fucking video game. Then i googled it.
I learned more about communism being a libertarian and educating myself than i have from being in school.
And what i discovered is that school doesent teach you about communism because they ARE teaching you to BE a communist.
Yeah maybe you just sucked at school.
well, they have to teach about history, not about evil deeds of one particular ideology in history. I guess it's more like teacher's personal preference to put emphasis on one thing and undermine the other one. When I'm listening to what young people in USA are saying I really have an impression that they were well educated on fascism and holocaust but were barely introduced with evil deeds of Communists. But I really hope that it's not like that in Sweden
I had to go to a party full of these leftist ideologues, the whole time they talked about race, splitting everyone into groups and camps.

Caught up with this yet almost another year later, April '19
He's been fighting UA-cam limited state algorithms. I just got this suggested today and have been subscribed for at least a year.
actually the scandal was totally random...anything would "predict" what was coming ..it's not like Lindsay is even KNOWN. we wouldn't even know her name if it weren't for this man.... so the the whole Lindsay incident was just ammunition, but no one's ever HEARD of her or cared one whit what happened to her. . they're far too busy waving placards to care about one person who fell along the way
Thank God for Jordan Peterson. I mean that quite literally.
Zeus hears you
He uses exclamations like “Jesus” “damn”, and “bloody” though. He seems to focus strictly on Canada - not the U.S.
I interpret it figuratively.
Yuri Bezmenov was right.
His is a more detailed working of communists/marxists.
Because he was one of the minds deliberately working to destroy countries with their doctrines before he defected and got assassinated for it.

"Equity trumps everything" - yeah, we will all be equal as slaves...
Zippy_UK - Yeah, but some people are more equal than others, those who get to “share” everything out. One scoop for you, one for you .... aaannd, all the rest for me.
In death we're all equal, that's why the equity makers love genocide. (as seen in the last century)
@@sirrathersplendid4825 in capitalist system is "I produced 10 scoops so these are for me, you have made only 1, so this is for you". In socialist system the share would be like 25 for one, 25 for the second one and 50 for government. The natural difference between people with their abilities on inabilities to create and make stuff is ignored. Socialism is a perfect system for people who lack of intelligence, who are timid. The bad thing with capitalism that in the end the owners of capital will have everything if they won't f***p up at some point, the good thing is that you can make t to the top with proper strategies and decisions in your life. The bad thing with socialism is that it takes away motivation to work, to invent - why to struggle if you'll get your share just because you exist... oh, and the ones in power will live as the richest ones (the ones that are more equal than others) in capitalist system and they will rule you not with the power of money, but with brute force of interventionalism - you will end up in jail if you won't give away at least half of what you have made.
@@kavolis Except there is a lack of incentive to innovate in a capitalist environment because the company will steal your work saying you made it because of their resources, furthermore the people on top actively work to prevent newcomers from rising up. The 1% is almost all old money besides those who came into it from new markets such as computers which by now is also already dominated by a wealthy elite.

I am not religious in the slightest, but THANK GOD for Jordan Peterson!!!
Seriously
The fact that you felt the urge to preface your comment by immediately denying religious association is ironically a product of postmodernist influence. The objective morality and certainty of the devout are seen as shameful within the new societal structure, and you made certain to distance yourself from them. The archetypal "I'm not religious but I support X" comment is a very commonly aggrandized statement across the internet, specifically because it resonates with this new disgust for religion that many internalize. You don't want to be falsely labeled as some sort of shameful superstitious person or zealous Biblical literalist protestant. But your comment only serves to further disparage religion, and you're indirectly working against those who fight for meaning and objectivity, including Mr. Peterson himself. Ironic.
Luminous Darkness calm down. Jordan Peterson has helped me and probably many others come closer to religion. Your dissection of someone thanking god for Jordan Peterson even though they aren’t religious is the reason a lot of people get pushed away. He’s appreciating Jordan Peterson. You are ruining good work. It’s not that complicated.
"If you were a positive Stalin, one of the negative Stalins would have come along and killed you real quick" - brilliant and true
Very true I am reading the Gulag Archipelago and actually had to put it down 187 pages in and the killing has not stopped. Equity, utopia? Do the math.
@dato gegeshidze if you were in Stalins position, and you have a good heart unlike Stalin, it wouldn't matter because the cold sociopath right behind you will backstab you and usurp your position.
We just become a society of cowards. We afraid to speak the truth publicly. We have our values, but courage is what we need now.
Indeed. It's a depressing, chilling thing to talk to young university students in anonymous chats and hear them say they disagree with the post-modern leftist radicalism sold as tolerance, anti-patriotism, demonization of conservatism and blatant racism, but fearing the social backlash starting from their left-leaning friends, they stay silent and invisible. And then they grow up and watch the same thing happen in society at large. And they stay silent and invisible, because they fear for their jobs. Time goes by and the decay worsens.
It's too much to ask a couple of individuals to stand up, stand your ground and make your stand. No one or two individuals can fix this. No matter how courageous and full of energy, it calls for collective effort.
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. And evil is not in entities; it's a collaboration.

"Small minority who are pushing these things." The same happened with Mao. He only had a small band, but they were able to control 100s of millions of people.
Menmatters
they had no guns to fight back.... and when they did, they were crushed, look at the murders of all the student protests
In the UK, I have generally been happy not to have guns (US is different and I support guns there), but fairly recently, the British police have been raiding people that have been labelled 'Far Righ't even when these people are not and have not hurt anyone. Police have started acting like political thugs and it is deeply worrying. I write to MPs and get no response or, if I'm lucky, meaningless platitudes.
Matt Westbrook; There's a 1962 book called "Escape From Red China". It was written by a man who was a business man at the time Mao came to power. He described how things became increasingly oppressive. He was not so much judgmental, but more of a chronicler of events. He eventually escaped to Hong Kong and the book ended just before the Mao induced famine that killed millions.
Under Mao, logic went out the window. Instead of putting (or allowing to continue) competent managers in charge of factories or farmers who knew how to farm in charge of food production, it was a case of political chronysm where people who hadn't a clue were the ones to take over. The constant changing of policies and the threat of sanctions against potential dissident voices kept most of the population in a state of fear. It was the uncertainty of what will happen to you and your family when you are already in a meager state that subdued the masses and all with just a small group of Yesmen that acted as Mao's henchmen and go-doers.
The Nazis carried out a similar tactic on an individual scale when they herded people off trains and into the death camps. They knew that if the people shuffling to their deaths all attacked them on mass, they would have been overwhelmed, so they would not let them stop. They kept them moving (creating constant change in their immediate circumstances) and by doing so were able to march the inmates to their own doom on their own feet.
I have not adverse things happen to me with the police yet because I am not as physically active as some due to work commitments and I am not a high enough profile in the writing world, but friends of mine who are more into things have had a few interactions. I joined some of them in a small demo last year and the police were called by some people inside the building we outside of. They had been told that we were harassing or some such thing. Two police officers turned up just to monitor things and one of them asked me how long the demo was expected to last for. There was only about a dozen of us, but at one point a police helicopter passed slowly overhead.
Menmatters never forget the Tiananmen Square massacre.

too late mate the evidence is before our eyes. from the ridiculous elevation of minority concerns, the gender elimination, mass immigration curtailing free speech, antifa, white hate, Its all there for us to see with are own eyes. Now is the time to kick out these lefty charlatans.
jeep23862 Antifa is what they call themselfs you living under a rock? They are an anarcho communist group who regularly participate in political violence. Even a cursory ammount of research would reveal this to you.
jeep23862 I would argue that they are anti facist in name only or rather their definition of facist is anyone who disagrees with their Marxist ideology so that they can justify committing political violence against them. I'm anti facist in that I disagree with facisim (bit of an understament) their allusion to being anarco communists is notable in the red and black flags in their emblem and the fact that many of them openly declare themselves to be so. Now I find facisim and communisim to be equally messed up and murderous ideologys but I think they both have a right to spew their nonsense when it comes to political violence though it is always unacceptable.
Is this guy what passes for a professor ? He may have some correct conclusions but a broken clock is right twice a day. Cultural Marxism was the product of the Frankfurt School (a think tank in Frankfurt Germany). They fled Germany when Hitler was coming to power and went to America. They recognised pitting the working class against the rich did not work as WW1 had proved the people will rally to their country, not their class. They recognised the only way to create the reveloution was to have the country tear its self apart, and they needed all underclasses to oppose their direct oppressor. There they influenced Academia and culture. In the 60's it began with black rights (who had genuine grievances) and spread to women (feminism) who had all their genuine issues sorted by the Equal Pay Act 1964. yet they persist. The other victim groups were in place and active long before the 70's
To be an Anti-Fascist is not necessarily to Communist.
If you are a committed Communist you cannot at the same time a socialist in the Marxist, Das Kapital, sense,
So the meaning of the word Antifa (Anti-Fascist) is correct.
Simply to tar everybody who is anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro-socialist or Liberal democratic a Communist just shows how silly, ignorant and pathetically naive some but not all on the far right are.

My family fled the USSR in the 50’s during the Cold War. They do not teach about Stalin in school, Mao, and Pol Pot. What’s happening in America is one of my worst fears. We are so divided with the sensationalized, bit-sized media not helping and the inability to have civil discourse that it feels we are headed towards a civil war at times. There is pressure not to be patriotic. Free speech is being threatened due to immense social pressure otherwise you will be bullied, shamed, even cut off by friends and family if you disagree with any aspect of the pushed ideology. My millennial peers have little to no critical thinking skills. They want to fit in so they echo what’s trendy and what will get them to be socially accepted. Study Yuri Bezmenov.
Exactly! I graduated HS in 2014 and the furthest we touched on the Soviet was Animal Farm (which is no direct fault of my English teacher at that time but the willful blindness of the naive individuals in the educational system). My grandparents and parents fled Vietnam and had dark stories to tell about the communists. While i attend universities to see woke students running around deconstructing America, and proudly wear the hammer and sickle banner under the guise of virtues. And they can climb ranks in their department for being such compassionate people and speaking on behalf of the oppressed while they sit in the lap a well protected neighborhood, state, and country and virtue signal on social media
if not headed toward civil war we are headed towards organized violence more and more for sure

What he is saying is completely correct. I am a graduate student in education, and it is complete indoctrination. They present no educational philosophy except social reconstructionism and its various Marxist suborders. Eventually, it will get to the point where schools will be segregated again by gender, race, and sexual identity. One school for heterosexual Black girls. One school for gay White boys. etc. It is sick, and will not end well.
Genius? No. Damn good psychologists, certainly. His take on many philosophical issues are problematic. As a lay person, which he is, he has quite solid insights. As a philosopher, well, he just isn't. He conflates a lot of elements, such as the Frankfurt School and postmodernism. He frequently constructs invalid, and incorrect arguments, in pursuit of his complaints regarding contemporary states of affairs.
His 'end state' complaints are focused well: his focus of identity politics, SJW's, language control, and thought control are well structured.
People should, in my opinion, remind themselves that he's not a philosopher with an education in the field, but instead a lay person who had went back into schools of thoughts, garnered at best an introductory level understanding, then picked elements that would best buttress his arguments.

The philosophy becomes heavy pretty quickly when applied to science and logic.

and this proves his detailed and long research which indicates his words can be trusted.
It's not too hard to talk for a long time when you're just making stuff up.

I've been following JBP for about a year now, and I think this must be his most important criticism on today's western society to date.
It’s probably worth reading the work of these philosophers. A lot of what he says is not the most accurate representation of post modern philosophy.
I never get tired of his words of wisdom

But it's getting to the point of being OVER-POWERED, and that means it needs to BLOW UP LIKE A BOMB in it's LIES so people can see the truth.
i think this is the first time i've actually understood Peterson's point when he talks about post modernism :p
unfortunately this video reveals Peterson to be a total pseud. he may or may not have read the original texts he's talking about, but he clearly misunderstands them. it appears that he's never talked with a self-declared postmodernist himself.
SJWs are not actually postmodernists, they're opportunists. Derrida's goal was to SAVE the west and the humanities from being taken over by hypocrites. Derrida is not significantly different from Heidegger in his attitude towards the western tradition, he simply has different things he wants to save. Peterson is also trying to save the west, and similar to Derrida, he does NOT want to save the neoplatonic/christian tradition!! Amazing!!! Derrida and Peterson are very similar, stop the presses!! But Derrida is trying to fix actual philosophy, while Peterson wants to replace philosophy with a jungian/campbellian hero's journey, which is not the western tradition at all. he is selling snake oil, narcissistic masturbation, made possible by fleeting psychological myths that work best on white guys who wanna stay the heroes of the civilizational story even as civilization collapses (no wonder the alt right loves this guy). as i said, Peterson is a pseud, he may be right on transgenderism or whatever, but he completely ignores world-problems
Iam sorry, but you failed to provide any arguments for you accusations. As it stands you might just as well be a narcissistic weeabu with a hard on for boring. but destructive ideas and a hate for everything good who can't stand the idea of his pet topic being bad mouthed by some old dude on the internet. I mean sure, I have nothing to back this up, but there exactly lies the problems: you do not either. Well on the other hand you have a degenerate cartoon character for an avatar and a moon rune user name, and your post smells of self importance. ... so who knows?
No man, you did not. You just put up some allegations without giving any proof. You're right, like most of petersons followers I haven't read any book by Derrida. I am preoccupied with cleaning up my room. Thereafter I'm going to sort myself out, but in the mean time you might be interested in at least posting some examples where you see statements like "Peterson wants to replace philosophy with a jungian/campbellian hero's journey" reflected, or cite some quotation that in fact proof that both Peterson and Derrida are indeed alike . I mean that's probably easy, given how much of an expert you seem to be. But if you can't, and baseless accusations are the rules of the game, I too have some to make.
I actually am surprised that you believed you provided any argument, and not just a set of unfounded thesis's. (And I really hope I am misunderstanding the word reading, but if for any reason my non-fluent-english-understanding is right, than the statement that you having allegedly read derrida being an actual argument, is so borderline retarded, that I might be at awe how you manage to not forget breathing.)
Edit: Just in case, I do not demand any actual citation, as much as I want an answer to 'why you think that is' to your statements, because without clarifying that question you're not having any argument.
fyi, this is youtube comments not a f_____ing masters thesis. i offered a thesis that is indeed "founded", it is based on my personal reading of campbell, jung, derrida, and peterson. i don't know why you consider that "retarded". philosophy is not maths, dude, it's a big conversation. if i were to say something like "i believe plato's ideal republic resembles nazi germany" (not my actual belief!!!!), that would be a big generalization, but it's not an "unfounded thesis" nor is it "bullshit". if i were writing a masters' thesis on that i would need citations, but for a youtube comment, it's not "bullshit" to offer just a general thesis on peterson without citations, in the same way that saying "anita sarkeesian is a whiny twit" doesn't need citations
while I would be interested in you trying to disprove what I wrote using quotations and citations of your own, i'm not gonna pull books off my shelf for a youtube argument... if you think what i wrote is absurd on its face, I'm not going to claim to understand your position, but I'm content to leave you ro it.
@Takiado "he is doing his damnest to rescue its foundations and essence for his students and the world."
The "essence of christianity," you say? Look up Feuerbach. What you're talking about was already proved pointless about 150 years ago. Remember Marx's reply to him?
You're talking about something different from me. when I say "christian tradition" i mean the divine reality of the soul. you're talking about Peterson's jungian crap, which goes down a well-trodden road he doesn't even realize exists.

'GULAG: A History' by Anne Applebaum is a good read. As an American of Polish descent I am disgusted and dismayed to see my family embrace this postmodernism in Progressivism which tenents reflect the communism that my grandparents fled. I listen attentively to Dr. Peterson in order to hone my sense of situational awareness. Dr. Peterson used the word 'talent' once. Before that I was thinking that God given talent describes each one of us as individuals. How many talents do you have? At what ages will you discover and/or pursue development of that or those talents which will be SHARED with other INDIVIDUALS who contribute their own set of gifts? What human freak of nature has the malevolent talent to KILL this Providential human interaction? Good vs Evil. As the Poles chanted, "We want God!". PRAY.
KAT Beautiful observation, eloquently expressed.
Thank you.
you mean 'tenets'
The Poles today are acting to protect their culture against Jihadist invasion as they did in 1601. "Deus vincit."
Correct. Corrected.
Absolutely enlightening! Here the link between Marxism and Postmodernism is brilliantly demonstrated.
How many millions did Starbucks waste in unconscious bias training,?
mintberry crunch from my reading of the episode there was nothing unconscious about the behavior of that barista. I have been in many Starbucks and found people waiting for another with NO Starbucks drink or food in hand and nary was there a problem. I ALSO have been in Starbucks and while I waited NOT purchased anything. And nary a problem. It seems to me that Starbucks has a company open door policy that invites people in on the assumption that they will eventually make a purchase during that visit. Why that particular barista took that particular action? Only the gods know, but it sure cost Starbucks a pretty penny.
I refuse to buy anything at Starbucks because of this.

Education, my profession, is drenched in Marxist thought straight through. The worst part is that most educators aren't even aware they're indoctrinated, with resistance to seeing that fact being a built in part of he indoctrination. Combating a memetic force designed to annihilate everything our ancestors produced is difficult as it is, doing so in an overtly clandestine manner is impossible which is why I recommend Catholic Schools or Home Schooling for children as one has exhibited a strong track-record of resisting, at least any fundamental changes Marxist thought and post-modernism could affect while the other rebalances the entire equation.
Public Schooling is presently an exercise in eroding what is good in a person. 35:28 and THERE IT IS.

If we were in a galaxy far, far, away, Jordan Peterson would be like Obi Wan and Yoda at the same time!
He reminds me a lot of Peter Capaldi's Doctor. He would not look out of place turning up to work in a TARDIS and carrying a sonic screwdriver.
Peterson must be protected
This is one of the most important videos on UA-cam!

Jazzy Bree he's just one man. The truth is 90% of Canadians and Americans are brainwashed to do anything about this. They think they're heading the right way. Oh boy, are they gonna find out the hard way...
There is a Brazilian philosopher called Olavo de Carvalho that has been saying what Jordan says since the 80s. He lives in the us now and has a lot of material in English. He is a gem
He tried to warn us, and now it might be too late.
It is truly amazing that it takes one of this era's best minds to unpack what should be common sense. But I thank God for Jordan Peterson and his focus and energy. He is a prime example of what it means to dedicate your life betterment of humanity. We are in the midst of a giant. The likes of which come, but once in a millennium.
This is truly THE video to watch, covers so much. Absolutely loved it, sadly my postmodernist friends won't even take the time to watch this, let alone listen and try to digest it. I guess will just have to bombard them with it in a non assisting matter so they don't start calling me sexist, racist and all the other -ists that we've all been called before.
you either agree with them or you are every ists they can dump on you. keep trying but be careful not to be further brainwashed by them. They are very clever. Good luck
It sounds like you won't take the time to listen and digest anything your postmodernist friends say
That's not entirely true. We live in a society where postmodernism has been the predominant culture and we can barely escape knowing how it thinks. Just read and look around you.
Frans Kat Utter nonsense. Postmodernism isn't the predominant culture in any way. Look around you an you'll see that.

I am a fan Mr. Pederson. I have listened to you since your beginnings on you tube via your problems at the university of Toronto on gender pronouns and have since followed you committedly. I am Union Electrician in local 120 in London Ontario and would like to have a discussion with you on the left leaning theft of liberties that I once held dear as a union member. I see this as a stride for you to connect with the Union Member and how this too...is an assault on freedoms for a big populous of people who were once left leaning and who are now dismayed. Please consider giving some of your precious time to a big contributor of the libs, in this last election to help me...help them put some propaganda with the union member... the worker... in context with your core beliefs in mind. Id like a half hour or so on camera with questions specific to the lie of the left of cohesiveness with our members while selling our country out. I would like to offer you $2000. and accommodations for your time for this discussion and hope that's enough as it's from my own personal account... I just want an insightful view that I know only you can provide on this serious matter for the working middle class today that I can give my brothers and sisters that can give them hope and might take away unions from left ideology! I don't see it that way!
Thanks for your consideration... Joseph Grenier L.U 120 London Ontario

Where I live, they worship Adorno, Horckheimer and all the other philosophers of the postmodern Frankfurt School. They paint big pictures of them on the University buildings. We will never get rid of their ideology in the near or mid term future. That would so antisemetic you know.

the Frankfurt school is against post modernism. you clearly did not study much.
Amazing interview! Everyone please take the time and watch this you will learn SO much.
I remember being bombarded with it whilst studying a law degree at the University of Bristol during the early 1990s when it was known as CRITICAL LEGAL STUDIES.
IMO the best introduction to JBP
Marxism and post modernism have nothing in common. Post modernism is the idea that basically everything is a social construct, however marx did not believe this at all. Marx was a materialist and believed that we should use dialectical materialism to look at history, and use materialism as a basis for are decisions. It was in fact marxists who were the first to critique post modernist ideas and even Habermas, a famous marxist from the frankfurt school, mad a critique of post modernism and neiztchein philosophy.
Their connection is that both philosophies result in encouraging the demolition of the current system of capitalism and reward for merit. Both ideologies have been used to feed people's greed for control over others in the pursuit of a Utopia - be that social justice or deconstruction of societal norms through fiat. Capitalist systems governed by common law and democracy ensure the regulation of tyrannical systems through the principle of the sovereignty of the individual.
Remember, cultural Marxism is not a Marxism. It takes aspects of Marxism, but filter them through their dogmatic postmodernist believe and came out as Cultural Marxism. NSDAP was called social democratic party. Was it socially democratic? Yeah, maybe for few months, but then evolved to Nazism. Marxism was about to overthrow Bourgeoisie. What came out? Communism. KLDR have democratic in their name. Is it democratic?
Here is where the ideas intersect....Marxists, although claiming to be strict materialists, made unjustified teleological claims about social evolution. They also contradicted themselves by promoting the IDEA that economics, not IDEAS, governed all. So "the good" was defined as moving forward, making progress towards Marxism. All morality was reduced to whether or not it furthered "the cause". Deconstructing the current regime opens the way for Marxism, so anything you can do to undermine society is good. Post-modernism is a perfect instrument for doing this. So they in fact DO have something very fundamental in common, an imperative to deconstruct everything and reduce things to collectivism. Am I wrong????

Recall this interview happened before Twitter YT and Facebook started to destroy ideological opponents.
Sorry Jordie, more impressive philosophers have worked at explaining Derrida’s premier notion -deconstruction/. It is about the relationship of words to meaning. Something that escapes your puerile attempt at deconstructing Derrida.
Rorty contends, "words have meaning only because of contrast-effects with other words...no word can acquire meaning in the way in which philosophers from Aristotle to Bertrand Russell have hoped it might-by being the unmediated expression of something non-linguistic (e.g., an emotion, a sense-datum, a physical object, an idea, a Platonic Form)".
Jordan, You are the 21st century Prophet ! Thank You so much!
Apparently the you tube bots think we are not supposed to listen to this, it’s being slowed down radically. This is an outrage , censorship at its worst.
Dr. Peterson is our yoda! A great teacher for our time!
I am from ex Yugoslavia - finnaly somone see it properly -thank you JP

I’m impressed with myself. I can understand everything he says and agree with him. I’m scared to death.
I have to admire Peterson for having the intestinal and mental fortitude to actually read Derida and his ilk. I was never able to hack my way thru much of it because it made no sense to me.
This dude is awesome. Its scary how right he turned out to be on this type of stuff. Glad he's okay now.

He lays bare the disgusting face of postmodernism.
how many thumbs up can I give??? this is totally cathartic.... this is ground shaking.... awesome!!!
He mentions the corruption of social work. He just rattles it off in a list and didn't elaborate on it specifically. While some of what they're taught may be wrong, in function, the social workers I've engaged with have been very helpful at a practical level. So, my counselor focuses a lot on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping clients to create structure, and other practical measures. I also know social workers that literally drive people around, take them for walks, errands, and assist them with other practical things. Over the course of 6 years, I don't think I've seen one hint of post-modern ideology. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but at least in my neck of the woods in Canada, the system is producing social workers who are helping people through means that we know work.

I’m not entirely sure Peterson has actually read the work of these postmodern philosophers he’s referring to. A lot of this is pretty inaccurate, spoken in half truths, or flat out wrong… but he sure does say it with conviction!
I would advise any Jordan Peterson fan to actually read the work of post modernism before just taking this guys word for it. He is definitely swayed towards a political bias. Postmodernism, it would appear, is often used by Jordan as a convenient boogie man to support the status quo and reinforce a certain political ideology. That’s fine if that’s what you’re into but it’s not the most accurate portrayal of postmodernism…
He is such a brilliant man! How can he be so handsome and intelligent at the same time! I could listen to him speak all day!
