I'm a 40 year old black man who lives in America and have been following JBP for the last year and read 12 Rules. Having said that, I have several friends who follow him as well, so this notion that all his followers are white men is just nonsense. I even post some of his videos on my FB from time to time and black people who don't know who JBP tend to agree with his message or the points in the videos I share. The only time someone says something negative on my posts is when it's someone who's "heard of" Jordan Peterson before.
i am a 41 yo black (African) male living in Philadelphia. I follow JBP religiously. i hate when activist who pretend to be journalist attempts to asked gotcha question to support their narrative about him.
@blob blob yea it was a stupid argument. Black men make up 6% of the US population. If 1% of us were JBP followers and .5% were JBP followers white, they would still say, "he has more white followers."
Don't know this interviewer... but, found him smug, pompous, and constantly interrupting Jordan. My interpretation is he is trying to be more intelligent than he really is. Very sad....
The Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux interview with another NZ "journalist" was equally as atrocious. New Zealand journalism must be very, very, low brow.
The Simon Wilson guy constantly made sly digs at Peterson, was extremely patronising, and understands little of what Jordan Peterson says. He's an incompetent troll interviewer.
I see it a little differently. I am a big fan of Jordan’s, however the fact that he has to be constantly on his guard means that some opportunities to further explore and challenges his ideas in these interviews (which takes courage I will admit) are lost when he hides behind the barricades of his long held beliefs.
@@warriormonx Yes, but that's not Jordan's fault. He has said that he goes into these things not knowing what will be asked and how it will go. The journalist has wasted an enormous opportunity to explore JP's mind and produce an interview that will have some positive impact. Alas, he threw his chance down the drain and will only be remembered as a fool.
That interviewer is a jerk. It is not only angry young men who follow Jordan. I agree with Jordan and watch all of his interviews and admire his directness. I am female and 71. My daughter and grand daughters also watch him. He is not angry, he is direct and factual and doesn't wishy wash life.
donde2k - I was just watching this and stopped to comment almost the exact thing you did. He's so smug that it's sickening. I genuinely hate most "journalists" today for this very reason.
Everything that is wrong about journalism: Simon Wilson. Three years ago, I wrote to him (without getting an answer): Dear Mr. Wilson, among all controversial interviews with Mr. Peterson, yours is truly outstanding. First, because of your mellow, pleasant voice and your very fine taste for intellectual glasses. But mostly, because you control your animus very well, trying to give the impression of an engaged journalist, who is just asking some important questions. The big effort for control covers the glaring expression, that your politeness is the most useful cover for arrogance. And that arrogance can't hide you're just performing preconceptions. Peterson, the angry egotist. At the end of every topic, you keep the last word with ironical degradation. You just talk over your guest, if it gets too much for you, or provoke him with out-cranked taunt. (20:30) The book is all black and white, but you cannot name one example. Wasn't there enough time to write down at least one? Maybe there was, but your animus made you forget it. Your disgust of Peterson is lurking through every look and every word. You are no journalist. You failed. It was painful to see the whole interview. I saw a rotten soul. Poor you! Get well soon. Christoph Spielberger
you've perfectly summarize my thought of all these "journalist" bien-pensants, thank you ahah (in Europe we have only "journalists" like this guy, you'd be depressed looking television)
Wilson is an intellectual cur and coward. He uses these snide, cheap and intellectually dishonest tactics, because he knows he cannot defeat Peterson on reason, facts and logic. He hasn't the wit, integrity or facts to do it. Hence the cheap tactics he has to resort to. it's the Liberal "interviewer" playbook. Cathy Newman tried to do the same thing, but made the mistake of giving Peterson the time to answer fully and humiliate her - ever so politely - in the process. Actually, she humiliated herself.
He's by far the most polite person to interview Peterson, of all the ones who don't like him. But you're right, his animosity is well controlled...but it's there and you can see it. Bad form for trying to stroke anger out of Peterson in such a feeble and manipulating manner, he needs to be better.
Can anyone make sense of these JP tidbits: 6. "The ignorant Left says you can place the responsibility for hierarchy and inequality at the feet of western civilization and capitalism...that is unbelievably wrong." 7. "You should always view people as individuals first and as members of a collective far second....this is what accounts for the spread of freedom and democracy." 8. "The world is in a messy state, whose fault is it, yours, its not some identifiable group." 9. "No one goes to a sports event and boos the star, people can celebrate success, but the game needs to be fair, there are plenty of sins on the conscience of the west, but you cant throw the baby out with the bath water, people don't understand how rapidly we are making economic advancements, that is not well distributed knowledge."
You can see it on his face, in his eyes. He's dead-set on demonising JP in the aims of supporting this new fascist nanny state. Huge respect to Jordan who maintains his cool in the face of unending hostility and smear tactics. I, on the other hand just lose my shit and go ballistic. But ultimately i think things will be fine and the politically correct can shove their easily offended up their own ass. "Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners." - George Carlin
He asked continuous leading questions, interrupted, presented false statements as if they were fact. Dr. Peterson replies in clear, careful words, and that's presented as anger. It could not have been more obvious provocation.
What a spineless dollop of Shit this guy is!! 🤨 JP😎 did so good not just coming unwraped on this SJW passive aggressive FemiNazi Deush nozzle!!🤬😅 Way to lead by example JP😎 - You the Man!! Thank you for what you hav shown and taught the men and women of this country!!!😊🙏🇺🇸 The Good People of Canada are Shurley proud!!!)🍻😊👍
Imagine someone trying to tell you that you’re angry when you’re not angry.. that’s the kind of thing that might make you angry. Well done JP, keeping your composure and rooting your responses in FACT!
that's a leftist strategy to make the interviewed angry and then attack him fot his anger. They made this to libertarians polititians in my country , unsucessfully
This interview demonstrates clearly the difference between someone who has spent their life developing hard won intelligence, and someone who has spent their life cultivating the shallow appearance of intelligence.
thalia garcia It’s interesting that without me even saying which is which, you yourself attributed intelligence to Peterson. Food for thought next time you decide to project upon others online...
Everything about this Journalist, his inquisitive tilt of the head, his hostile gaze, his smug, self-satisfied face, his accusations, made me a JP fan.
And the absolutely wild opening statement .. "you seen angry, are you angry? Like wtf bro? Yeah I'm bloody angry now, wtf kind of question is that in an interview? 😂
There is a definite element of jealousy surfacing in some of these interviews. Some have an air of big game hunting, as if the interviewer wants to be the first one to bag a Jordan Peterson which would make them a rock star in the journalistic circles. These people would wonder why I would equate "journalist" with "resentful condescension".
It’s a form media programming “television programming” they over load there ideals on us through the media to make us think that’s what the individuals on the left believe. But we all know it’s a lie we know most people have common sense. And we don’t believe their rhetoric.
@@y0bo3000 for an interview he was more of a "you seem like a bad guy" which is every second interview with JP than "how can I make this interview feel new" so "you seem angry" part is scripted as he was reading all that pathetic shit to get a reaction out of him.
@@SupernaturalCBR250R Yeah. I noticed the smug quick arguments or put downs followed quickly by another question so JP had no chance to respond. Do these people understand how petty, ignorant and small this makes them appear?
Jeremy B I don’t know how he can answer the same questions that intend to misrepresent or trap him over and over. Also you would think after the first time he did not fall into a trap that they would try a new trap. Not just keep throwing the same one out.
Yes it is hilarious how many times they try to trap him and twist his message and basically attempt to use his fame to gain fame themselves. Step 1 find popular guy, oppose popular guy to show "how much you care" and reap the benefits said opposition.
@@dontimberman5493 It is a total indication of how brainwashed they are, they don't actually want to learn anything from Jordan or let his viewers learn something by asking him something new, they just want to keep on pounding him with the same overused questions for no ones benefit, least of all theirs!
And for this reason such interviewers are good sounding boards for Jordan to clearly express meaning. Plus they illustrate wrong attitudes and wrong types of thinking very perfectly. This all has psychological value, you need people to be wrong to pose an interesting disagreement..
I love how the interviewer said "that's a jump from what I said" and then immediately jumps into another question. He must find it hard to be questioned, especially as a journalist.
That was a really cheap thing to do and was nothing but classic gaslighting. It speaks volumes really because the interviewer felt had to resort to that because he had failed at every attempt he had made to twist, lie and smear JP’s reputation. Even when he got clear answers he wasn’t accepting them. Pathetic behaviour and extremely narcissistic.
I live in New Zealand, born and raised. Our media is something our nation is ashamed of to the point of utter contempt. The amateurs of amateurs.... they're appalling.
Another example of a bitter MSM journalist attempting to throw shade on someone creating REAL value in the world. Simon's Twitter = Block everyone that disagrees with him. Simon's article = Slimier than this interview (No comments allowed)
The interviewer is just another regressive that's frustrated the light of truth is shining on the garbage he's bern peddling. He's frustrated they, ghe mainstream media, no longer have a stranglehold on information and that their lies are being shown. Their house was built on sand and crumbling around them. He's a terrible interviewer that cast strawman after strawman and never addressed the points made. He knows dang well equity is code for equality of outcome and not equality of opportunity. Basically he acted like a petulant child that was upset JBP wouldn't bow down before him.
Good, that means he did his job... The interview would have sucked if he didn't ask any provocative questions. You have absolutely no knowledge of journalism.
I’ve never seen an interviewer get so thoroughly schooled by a guest. Talk about an intellectual dressing down. I felt sorry for that interviewer after a while. What an utter humiliation.
I wouldn't spend too much time feeling sorry for this jerk. He tried and tried to misrepresent Peterson's ideas. Not as smart as he thought himself to be -- he got bested each time and kept exposing his bias and inadequacy as an interviewer.
Hey's not angry dummy. He's "on guard" and "focused" because the questions being asked are trying to provoke him into saying something that can be used against him.
Thank you for speaking the truth, that's exactly what the interviewer is doing. But Dr. Peterson in his unbelievable self controlled manner stands firm as a truth warrior should, I applaud him!
#200 like here now 😀; to say, we think "alike" because damn, you beat me to my own comment idea....by 3 weeks. NZ isn't as F'kd up as "Simon says" now is it? (re: rape crimes) Do speak up New Zealanders !!!
As an Australian he isn't as widely known here so I never encountered a hater until I travelled through Yemen with some Americans. When he came up in conversation one of the American men said "He's a foul, misogynistic messiah to pseudo-intellectuals who hate women.". The other two Americans chimed in agreement so I asked for an example. He was genuinely stunned becuase I don't think he'd ever encountered push back on that rehearsed quip. As we were in a place with no internet, and nothing to do for hours but talk, the discussion ended in him admitting that he'd never seen, heard or read anything by Peterson, he'd just been told 3rd hand that he was bad. Sorry for the essay but that was very eye opening to me. I've met people from all levels of society back home and abroad and tens of them laud the positive effect in their lives from Peterson, I've yet to meet someone that hates him as a result of actually listening to said.
If you want my full honesty, at least Cathy Newman was straightforward with her intent. She more so did not understand Peterson _at all,_ and seemed to actually believed her own ideological thoughts. These sleezebags on the other hand don't even care about the topic being discussed. They don't stand for something. Their words are merely tools used to harm their opponent as cleverly as they can. Newman was ideological possession. This man is conscious malevolence.
I have not commented on a video in a while but this interviewer was an embarrassment. He was incredibly accusatory, condescending and clearly came in hostile. Disgusting.
Initially I tried to picture him as well researched, presenting the misquotes and misinterpretations which so many people have echoed around the net, but then the cut-offs and switching to another question whenever Jordan had a calm and reasonable response became irritating. I have to agree with your assessment.
I believe JP may be one of the smartest intellectuals of our time. This kind of tough vetting must be the path to greatness. We may not like it but only through fire can the medal be purified.
Ugh! _"there's a subtext of...",_ _"It's a dog whistle to the..",_ _"You imply that...",_ _"I feel that...",_ _"You seem to be saying that...",_ _"Some people might think that..."._ Why bother addressing people's actual words when you can just insert your own imaginary words into their mouths?
If Peterson has one fault it is that he is too nice. When he catches them in accusations that are false, he needs to STOP the interview. He must force the interviewer to explain him/herself. He must do this to expose the narrative that they pursue. When Peterson lets them move on to the next question knowing that they are going to do it again and again, they will continue until someone has a gotcha question that nicely fits the story they are looking for. To Dr. Peterson: Take your own advise, Don't be the nice guy!
This is a great point. You have noticed something really important here. But I think you have gotten it backwards. If someone is screaming "the glass is half full", you have to ask, "Ok, we can all see the glass is half full. So what are you really trying to tell us?"
I became a fan of Jordan Peterson after watching him not only survive "ambush journalism", but watching him win these arguments. He accuses the left-leaning journalists of being lazy and uncreative. I read the "Gulag Archipelago" because Dr. Peterson has recommended it multiple times. What an eye opener.
The interviewer is unbearably irritating. He’s masking his anger because Peterson made him look foolish. He’s insecure and did a horrible job of trying to flip the table with the angry bs. It was impossible for me to not be irritated by him to the point of anger. Good for dr Peterson. I think anger because of the dishonesty of the interviewer in this situation in precisely what it should be. Imagine being that guy’s wife or child. God what a pretentious man
Agree this guy is a big time soy boy. Trying to be intellectually advanced but sounds like your typical cry baby Marxist pansy. He wishes to be a victim.
Totally agree with the OP, but some of the replies in this thread have to take it down a few notches. The interviewer definitely had an agenda and asked loaded questions, but peterson handled himself gracefully. There's no need to let you anger get the best of you. You shouldn't idolize Peterson, you should follow his example.
Yeah the tipping point for me was when he was accusing Peterson of sowing confusion. He had to be willfully ignorant, actively ignoring Petersons views to come to the conclusions they want. It's pathetic
Wouldn't nzherald's readers/viewers be better served if their interviewer directed his questions toward discovering exactly why Peterson, the most famous public intellectual on the planet,is having such a positive impact on so many millions of people all over the world? Or, would nzherald's readers/viewers and the wider public be best served by having their interviewer subject Peterson to a disjointed interrogation for the sole purpose of baiting him into uttering the slightest socio-political blasphemy which can then be used as a pretext to smear him and discredit his larger body of work? Attack-->fail, attack-->fail, attack-->fail, attack-->fail... very little follow-up discussion of individual topics or light shone on deeper detail or meaning of anything. Simon Wilson may as well have started the interview with: "I have a long list of various accusations of witchcraft which I'd like to go through one-by-one." At least this nzherald effort is a somewhat longer-format "discussion" and despite the intellectual dishonesty and obviously bad intentions of the Herald, one can learn a lot from Peterson here and be enticed to seek out more of his intellectual output. Contrast this interview with Dr. Oz's here which is actually aimed at educating the viewer/listener...and note the number of views: ua-cam.com/video/AscPHmLWo-M/v-deo.html). But here nzherald demonstrates EXACTLY why mainstream media is going down the tubes and losing the public's trust.
They are ideologues, he is undermining their positions of power and gatekeeping information, they cant not fight him, if they dont fight him their worldview will fall apart. And thats something thats hard to overcome for most people, an ideologue doesnt even consider it, which is why they keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, The definition of insanity.
I am a New Zealand citizen, and I’ve never been more disappointed in a New Zealand journalist… What ever happened to impartial journalism?! Why not ask him questions about his philosophies, let him answer and then move on… Rather than challenge, attempt to manipulate and try and bait him into a combative situation. God that pisses me off.
Oh Dale, as I mentioned to another poster above, we here in the US know there is a majority of your 4.5 million just like you and that's why we come to visit!!!
Dale Williams he is probing deep into petersons philosophies by challenging him to find his way out of difficult corners that Peterson is yet to come out of.
This guy tried to trap him with his sneaky slimy tactics at every turn. Attack a guy for 30 minutes and proclaim at the end he seems angry. What a cowardly snake.
Three times he accused Peterson of being angry.😅 this poor and sorry excuse for a journalist is so bitter and full of poison that it will be the end of him.😂
TL;DR The whole interview is: SW: "You do X." JP: "Do you have an example of me doing X?" SW: "You don't think you often do X?" JP: "I don't do X." SW: "OK."
God it pisses me off when they say "controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson" He's only controversial to you if you're a freaking idiot. Agree with him or not, he engages with everyone honestly and true to himself
i mean he uses incredibly weasily tactics to justify peoples prejudices without openly taking stances on various subjects so i dont think you can call him honest and true.
@@kuroshthegreat8073 , You are one of those freakin idiot i'm talking about. "Weasily tacticts"? He's got thousands of hours of videos on UA-cam, he's spoken to thousands of people around the world, he writes in some newspaper, I mean, it's not like anyone is guessing his opinions on anything. It couldn't be more in the open.
@@bmessier2 i dont care about his books or videos. when he goes into an interview and says a bunch of highly conservative shit while avoiding clearly stating his actual stance then what he says could easily be used by a genuine sexist or racist to justify their views. Thats not an honest way to act in an interview.
I am a 44 year old male, my wife is 40, and we are both eternally grateful for Jordan and his work. We both were raised in dysfunction, and I personally had the life skills of a rock. Jordan helped my wife and I to put our life in order. Our marriage is the best it's ever been, our communication is healthy and honest, I am a better father and we are pursuing our dream as entrepreneurs. Jordan helps people. He loves people. We are not just angry young white men, we were broken, confused, lost and overwhelmed. God bless this man.
Well done you, and what you have said is moving. It is stories like yours that repeatedly move Peterson to tears. And the Left hate him for the good that he does.
It's frustrating that Simon doesn't seem to pay attention to the answers given and is more focused on trying to catch the person off guard with the next question. However, Jordan being questioned handles every question calmly and articulately, which is an excellent display of fairness and honesty.
yep it's sad that this is what they feel that the people want to watch .. didn't the get the notion that people really do enjoy a good progressive conversion and discussion over trying to get sound bytes. All they have to do is look at the views to which people like Micheal Parkinson was able to get in order to know this.
Jordan Peterson has had to deal with a lot of interviewers who think so highly of themselves, whose style is to try to make him angry enough to lose his cool...it is funny because they never can.
Hard to watch how JP can't handle the tough questions, and as per usual he tries to weasel his way out of them. For me it was easy to watch, I am not in the cult.
I’m a woman in my 70’s and find Jordan’s lectures are a shining light in dark times. He is an example of a generous bright man who provides leadership to better lives. This interviewer is an ideologue who aim is just to trap Jordan.
We're all lucky to have this man look out for the younger generation. That is the heartwarming part about Jordan. He genuinely cares about our society and is actively working to fight against tyranny and poisonous ideologies.
Yep! Vipers do this tactic to take down those who drop truth bombs. They did the same to Jesus 2,000 years ago. They did the same to Ghandi, theyre doing it to Trump, they did this to any person who doesn't fit into their agenda and narrative.
I am also a woman, an aboriginal woman, living in JBP's home province, that absolutely admires that man. I am almost done reading 12 Rules and even purchased his audible so JBP himself reads the book to me. I will read this book many times in my life. It's wonderfully written and I even bought a copy for my parents. They now follow his lectures and interviews on UA-cam. It's fantastic to watch how being on the RIGHT side always wins over the hateful left. Hilarious really. I don't know who that NZ journalist is but he's such a LOSER. He lost every time he tried building a straw man argument. He would know that JBP is the leader of destroying straw man arguments, but he's literally the male version of Kathy Newman! At least Kathy Newman had grace and could accept defeat.
It’s clear Jordan really cares for people, he has no agenda he just really really cares... the amount of mainstream interviewers that look utterly foolish, uneducated and ridiculous while trying to put words in to Jordan’s mouth or slander his character show their agenda perfectly, they don’t care about us people. Jordan is a man who have saved people and is trying to awaken society to this and prevent the next Holocaust, trust me it’s coming. Bless Jordan, he has saved my life, a woman whom was loosing hope with society, the comments on all of his lectures and interviews have restored hope, they aren’t all indoctrinated hate filled disassociated individuals. Let’s hope humanity prevails. Blessings.
This was such an impressive display of stoicism from Mr Peterson I’ve seen in an interview. Granted it’s some time ago and he has had many, many dialectical and personal challenges since then, but I salute Mr Peterson for his composure and professionalism in this interview. This level of control and level headedness is impressive.
As a new Zealander, I’m appalled by this interview. Horrible, absolutely horrible what that journalist was doing. Kudos to JP for being polite and patient with this unprofessional gas lighting journalist. Never liked NZ Herald.
@@stephenlindsay3792 neither have I. I guess when your an underground journalist anything goes. When you don’t have a reputation you go and make one. Sadly this is what the journalist will only be known for.
He is a journalist who had point of view, he asked tough questions. There is nothing wrong with that. So why are you crying? Journalist shouldnt challenge quests? JP is a big boy and he handled himself well in the interview.
@@mulumilz6833 i understand, its hard to argue logically against my criticism of your untenable emotional "arguments". But hey at least you tried.....kind of.
Peterson is a perfect example of a man demonstrating the greatest level of patience when confronted with immeasurable levels of ignorance coupled with malevolent ulterior motives. I don't imagine I could ever sit with such calm demeanor and civility if faced with a similar situation. Definitely a person worth emulating.
Joseph Gunderson yeah I personally really love his idea of minimum necessary force. I know it’s not originally his, so I guess you could say I love the way he attempts to act that out and he’s not perfect which is also refreshing to hear him say even he can’t do it all the time, but I’ve definitely been trying to pull that one into my life because I’ve found how much better I can handle myself in stressful conversations or when being critiqued. I read your comment at instantly thought of minimum necessary force so I hope Im not miss reading you there
perfect comment. there were so many snarky sarcastic retorts I would've liked to throw at that interviewer. Jordan's way will be much more powerful in the long run, and he knows that. brilliant.
Sounds like the journalist didn't care to have a real discussion, not the other way around. Tired of another lame 'gotcha' attempt. And he watched many of Jordan Peterson's other interviews? Then why does this interview feel so repetitively stale in contriving conflict?
Haha exactly. Every time certain questions are asked, I physically roll my eyes and think 'oh God this one again', and my mind boggles at the fact that Jordan manages to stop himself from doing the same.. Seriously I keep waiting for the moment Jordan goes "Are you friggen serious, this again?" and it never comes.
And this marxist who calls himself a journalist, could not refute JP's argument that most critics of JP regurgitate the same tired critcism first publicised by Cathy Newman without reading JP'sm extensive litertature which in the most part discuss those issues
Most pathetic was when he tried to point out maybe the fault is with Peterson when he always get "misunderstood" Without even realize that the fault is with all the thousands journalists who don't get it meanwhile MILLIONS of normal people get Peterson without any problems at all. What a blind fool.
Because that's what a journalists job is. It isn't to have conversations because they aren't truth seekers. Their job is to get a juicy story for their blog or newspaper article which means they will try and poke holes and see if they can get the interviewee to say something interesting that will get them viewers.
I've seen my fair share of Peterson interviews conducted by aggressive, uninterested activists, but this is a whole different level. There's something deeply rotten and despicable about this Wilson guy and the fact that he unsuccessfully tries to sugar coat it in the hallmarks of classic journalistic engagement just makes it all the more laughable and egregious.
"Arrogance looks putrid in defeat". That is a worthy quote my friend. I even ignored the fact that putrid refers to smell not sound. (That a compliment).
First of all, I never, ever comment on youtube videos. I see it as a waste of my time (and I don't doubt this probably is) - but this is without a doubt, the most condescending and smug interviewer I have ever come across, compelling me to write my first comment in what is probably years. This is not objective and unbiased. This "interview" was full of innuendo and sarcasm. Mr Wilson, you are thoroughly unpleasant and dismissive in this interview. If this is an example of how you speak to all of your guests, regardless of their political, social or cultural backgrounds, you should seriously consider reviewing your conduct in future. I would somehow suspect (at the risk of the same accusatory nature as you've displayed throughout this video) you would not speak to many others in the nature you have to Dr Peterson. The (at the time of this writing) 11k dislike/6k like ratio, as well as the nearly 9k comments suggest I am not alone. Anyone who works for NZ Herald should seriously consider a review of professional journalistic practices. I would expect so much better from what is most likely considered a respected source of news for many Kiwis.
@JonBloor - thanks for a good comment. Well at the time of writing this reply and as a NZer, I’d say many of us have very low regard for the so called integrity of the NZ Herald. Their left bias is nauseous and bar a couple of journos, their reporting has historically been lazy imo. I thought Wilson here showed considerable respect for Peterson, as he might. But he also showed reasonable scrambling skills. When Mr Peterson invited him to the brink, our intrepid Warrior had a close look, felt his bowel loosen, then pulled himself back up the handle of his ice axe and hauled himself back from the abyss of journalistic humiliation. However, he has not escaped Forum ridicule. I also think Peterson takes no pleasure in all this either. He firmly pointed out (I thought) that he was genuinely hurt that young men had been so neglected that they had to come to an outside source of compassionate guidance such as his, to find a steady light on ways to exit to addictions. Simon Wilson showed his inadequacy here, in refusing to join Peterson in celebrating the power and responsibility of the fourth estate to basically ‘do good’ where they can. Imo he let himself down and as the comments here show, he rendered himself as merely another journalist. Shame. He could learn a lot from this attempt at an interview- let’s hope he does. F.
Another New Zealander here, no, we don't have a lot of respect for the media corporate entities force down our throat with clowns like this. Fortunately the internet has liberated us from having to listen to these opinionated halfwits and allowed us to research our own news. For some reason, even while they're obsolete people keep playing these frauds that wouldn't know objectivity if they were choking on it. My position? I've watched a lot of Jordan's interviews, listened to him speak and checked many of the references and statistics he sites... i'm not a fan boy, but what I can tell you is that from my research into what he's been saying all along is factually valid and I challenge anyone that disagrees to form a non emotional opposition argument and bring it to the table.
Hi Toasty - yes, a short time spent listening to JP reveals a careful, objective mind with a good deal of compassion as well. I've mostly been impressed by him - maybe not so much his diet ... I watched a vid couple of years back and the vitriolic comments from Americans and Canadians was really surprising. Playing the man not the ball. I think he's offended a lot of the hurty-left over there for years. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mind you, I listened to yesterdays US Dem candidate shootout, featuring a Julian Castro among a dozen others. This twisted pixie is pushing to legislate for Trans-men (guys who identify as gals) to get Govt grants for abortions - if and when they get knocked-up. WTF? It's a money grabber of course, but the kicker is, not one Democrat questioned this candidates' logic and no one even cracked a grin! I'm fine with gays and whatever, but holy whistling duck-shit - men cannot bear children - can they??. It's a biological impo... So imo if Wilson's not going to allow himself to call this insanity out in the Herald over the nxt year or so, he's going to hoist himself further up the petard he's swinging on right now. Interesting media point Toasty. Google, You tube and Facebook are now working on algorithms to identify so called free-speech. Google stated that they will not support a 'Trump Like' social media useage in 2020. If it doesn't fit their conformist agenda, they remove all material post-haste. Peterson has referred to it in the past and warns that it is totally politically motivated to the Left. There's a lot of stuff going down at present. Nice talking.
@@TheFossie12 Hey Karen, thank you for the post :), I had heard about the whole "trump bad, Google sanctioned "free" speech good" nonsense. It's like people forget what fascism is >_>, People like Wilson can only survive in the real world so long, and as long as we have a medium in which we can discuss the issues amongst ourselves our terrible media will fade into antiquity... thankfully...
@@TheFossie12 another kiwi here .. i refuse to listen ,watch mockingbird media .. only listened to yhis cause of JP and wanted to remind myself why i dispise nz media ...
I don't understand how these types of people get famous. This guy has such an unpleasant personality and his line of questioning was so manipulative. I don't understand why he isn't repulsive to his viewers.
minervaeiou I’ve lived in NZ for 17 years and have never heard of Simon Wilson. I presume he is a nobody who somehow got to apparently interview Jordan.
they don't understand who they are dealing with. this is a person who spends ALL day, studying and mastering his craft. this is a psychologist and professor...who in their right mind could think they can come without a well prepared argument to think that they will come ahead using a hawkish phrase like this "journalist". its like saying to a professional fighter: hey lets fight and have the least of hope that you will come ahead and have never trained a day in your life, you would never dare to do that.
This interviewer acted entirely inappropriately. It needn't really be articulated because its so self evident thats it's embarssing to even watch. He was rude, dismissive, and obnoxious. He didn't act like an interviewer, with thoughtful questions, instead he attempted to display his own ideology with rhetoric and falsity. Frankly its shameful.
Yeah the way he looks down and makes a passive aggressive, dismissive comment before quickly rushing into his next deeply cynical, highly contrived and malicious question.
I am stunned by the sophomoric mentality of this so-called journalist. Has the legacy media learned precisely nothing from the Cathy Newman incident? Never mind; these attempts to box Dr Peterson into a corner will continue to backfire, much to the embarrassment of those trying to curate such a disingenuous frame and ultimately winning Jordan further support from honest men and women. Once again, well done JP!
the 'interviewer' was out of his league here. So many of his questions showed bias and ignorance of what Jordan has actually said and what he meant when he said it. who is this tool?
Yep. It became increasingly more painful to watch him open his mouth to change feet as this shabby excuse for an interview went on. I don't know how Doc Peterson could be so civil to that clown!
Calling someone "controversial" is a linguistic trick to avoid revealing distaste for someone and depending on most peoples psychological tendencies to do the work. Controversy = disruptive = bad element = bad person.
Emmy Hucker : perhaps to signal that you should be wary of him, or maybe to drum up intrigue. What I also don't understand is why they always ask the same questions and bring up the same points, like "you've said that feminists crave male domination" or "or you said that a man cannot control a crazy woman". Could be some kind of game to reinforce that he's objectionable or some kind of crackpot. They also just jump about from topic to topic, hardly letting anything develop or flower into an interesting point. It's like they want to get through the interview stirring up a cloud of murk instead of helping to illuminate understanding.
Emmy Hucker I have a conspiracy theory that the “controversy” is a ruse to sell tickets. Notice the useless idiots who protest jbp is proportional to the unemployment rate? Also the talent management company that organises these things is very mainstream.
So that left leaning brainwashed types are constantly warned: "Don't start reading this man's work". That is the left's biggest fear, that their ignorant followers will start to educate themselves, see the inherent goodness in some of the "oppositions" worldview, and start to see the left for what it really is: nascent totalitarian tyranny.
There's nothing else to do any more. Peterson has been doing thousands of interviews all over the world for years, and the conversation and topics covered are always the same. I know everything Jordan's going to say before he says it by now. Id rather see some entertainment where he's poked and prodded.
I particularly like Dr. P's method of insult via factual statement (journalists reading other journalists and not reading the source - which flew by undetected by this asshat who clearly wasn't seeking any type of truth or meaning, just seeking his tribal affiliation)
Simon WIlson: Before Interview: "I'm going to be a condescending ass but I'm going to remain forcibly calm so I don't end up like Cathy Newman" After Interview: "Oh no"
If I was to guess, expose something nasty about Jordan. Why? Because it sells better than finding good things about people. He tried very hard too, looking up a lot of information about Jordan but with the twist Simon thinks could get him to slip up. At this point, he has an opinion piece about Jordan and maybe a sound byte.
@Vladimir Novitski You wrote: He was attempting to surpass Cathy Newman." I had that same thought. Unlike Newman this guy seems to have done his home work and STILL was an abject failure. I even thought he blanched bright red in one or two places but it might have been my hopeful imagination.
This interview is another showcase why the legacy media is dying. The interviewer is not interested ferreting out the veracity of JP words but instead clearly interested in pushing a narrative that JP is some kind of menace to society. In addition, the irony appears lost on the interviewer that the real menace is people like him and the tired old MSM.
I don’t want my downvote for Simon to be misinterpreted as a downvote for Jordan, but I don’t want my upvote for Jordan to be misinterpreted as an upvote for Simon. Tough choice.
As another commenter mentioned and I agree, it’s a good thing that the NZ Herald posted the discussion in full form. But I’m suspicious that they didn’t put their best foot forward with Simon intentionally, perhaps having had seen the view count disparity between ‘controversial’ JP interviews and otherwise constructive JP interviews. I don’t wan’t to support that kind of thinking either, but I wouldn’t downvote based on a suspicion.
While there are some highly intelligent journalism majors, journalism is near the bottom of the pile when it comes to average SAT scores of matriculating undergrads.
Quite condescending. Simon didn’t wait for answers, and when the he realized that there was a good answer for a question he immediately moved on to the next caricaturization or question. Simon accused Jordan of never admitting fault, but on the other hand he also never once admitted that maybe one of his accusations that he haphazardly brought forth may have been in poor taste.
What bothers me about Simon is that he asks questions with an accusational undertone, trying to provoke the interviewee. If the interviewee doesn't give into emotions, and still gives a proper solid answer (in this case Peterson manages to do so EVERY time), then Simon will make a short remark that questions the validity of the answer quickly followed by a question about a different topic, not giving the interviewee time to respond. The worst parts are when Simon doesn't even know HOW to respond to the answer and just exhales a condescending 'ha!' before switching topics. It makes this 'interview' absolutely painful to watch.
I am pretty sure Simon upon watching the replay of the interview would've agreed with most of the sentiment that he cocked this one up royally. It's a hard thing to control ones emotion and body language when doing a one-on-one interview... Peterson is decent, but Wilson is horrid. If he was doing it accidentally, then he needs to do better homework, and if on purpose, then he's absolutely in the wrong game... maybe interviewing league rugby players would be more his level of general acumen. In short, it was pretty clear he was out of his depth and should have practiced his listening skills in this one.
Yes, painfully "full of pain"...full to the brim with excruciating painful pain! My head was actually hurting in the end because of too many non-sequential nonsensical questions designed for one purpose==>> TO TRIP PETERSON UP AND EMBARRASS/DISCREDIT HIM OR CONSERVATISM/TRADITIONALISM! Sad.
Lol the “your supporters are angry white men” JP points out that’s nonsense, even if there were angry white men it would be a tiny minority, and even they don’t seem to demonstrate “anger”. Interviewer is like “omg u take what I say to extremes, no one said it is ALL of your fans”...... lol
@@LouHillierPsych I find it sad that this obnoxious man should believe himself to be intellectually superior to Peterson. He is a brittle bully who deliberately misquotes and distorts.
And still this interview is so much better than the ones lead by some female British "jounalists". I had to stop listening to them: too disturbing for my brain!
I don’t understand why you would say that. Can you give some examples? I am a huge JP fan but I found this interview very interesting and professional.
@@ramibaradei9156 Interviewing should be a voyage of discovery, not a bloody minefield of trying to trap your guest for a got you moment. Professional? Words that come to mind to describe the journalist are deceitful, false, weasel, snake, not a genuine bone in his body.
I’m mixed and I listen to Jordan. The color of my skin is irrelevant. It’s kinda shitty that this guy is a journalist and he didn’t even read the book.
i voted down this video due to the utter lack of professional impartiality. Trying to manipulate the interviewee and intentionally provoke him in such a fashion is a disgrace to the journalistic profession. No different than Cathy Newman apart from trying to sound reasonable by being passive aggressive instead of directly confrontational. Peterson had to correct every statement and question. Embarrassing performance by the interviewer.
"Trying to manipulate the interviewee and intentionally provoke him in such a fashion is a disgrace to the journalistic profession" Not sure I agree: it tests JP and his ideas. Which come out shining, of course.
@@TheClunkingFist You make an excellent point. I would contend that it is very possible to test him and his ideas without the manipulation. The best examples of journalism are often journalist playing devils advocate on both sides, asking tough direct questions, and asking for clarification with an intent (in so far as is possible) without further agenda. This is possible even when the presenter has an admitted or exemplified strong bias. Examples like the Hoover Institute interviews and Dave Rubin both routinely showcase this. In support of your point, I suppose it does create a combative environment that challenges the person being interviewed to keep their cool, as an argument can be made that it can be an effective method to detect inconsistencies in what they are saying by trying to have them trip up. That being said, I think there are more principled ways to go about it, and I don't believe this interviewer's intent was in testing Peterson's ideas, but to intentionally misrepresent him.
It struck me how he was not listening with intention to understand but to argue his points. When he knew he lost the arguments, he started - in true woke style - trying to cast doubt on his mental attitude of JP coming across angry and thus dismissable. Wake up mr. Wilson, he was talking to you as part of the 5% who are noisy which irritates him and most of us. Get another job, you suck being an interviewer - you are totally out of your depth of what really ails the world.
Exactly. one of the worst interviews I have ever heard or seen. What got me is that Simon kept coming from a "high horse' place...typical of NZ journalists, in the Kim Hill tradition.
I love how whenever Peterson starts to explain how wrong one of the interviewers accusations are, the interviewer quickly waves his hands saying, "yes, yes, let's move on, ok so what about THIS accusation!". Clearly not interested in the answers, just fishing for the responses he wants.
This vid should be retitled to "Controversial interviewer Simon Wilson sits down with visiting Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson" and subtitled "33 minutes of repetitive attacks by deliberate misreading and misrepresenting all available reference material". Hats off to Mr Peterson for handling it with this much patience and dignity.
Don't you love it when Peterson absolutely crushes the interviewer's loaded question with his response, the interviewer does not acknowledge it in any way, and quickly moves onto an unrelated topic?
He often does acknowledge genuine points with "...yes i accept that" or he laughs it off saying "ok that's the way you see it", trying to present himself as either agreeable or presenting JP as having a silly opinion. He then moves on quickly, you're right
The fact that jp has gone on so many interviews with the literal best journalists the media has to throw at him, and not once lost an argument, just goes to show they're just trying to milk him for content, and there's absolutely nothing to debate with him other than controversial topics he's gotten put into that are based on misconstrued and misinterpreted statements that jp has made.
@@dh7139 ME too, there are no new questions, just same old accusations, over and over. I can just about answer some of those questions for Jordan because I've heard them so many times by the BS journalists.😂😂😂😂
No. This isn't the behavior of a two-year-old. This is the behavior of a very smart man, whose values are very, very poisonous, and he's trying to stain a very good man and destroy him. There's something almost Biblical in how creepy and evil Simon strikes me. Like if you watched someone manipulate an innocent child into committing a crime, purely for the pleasure of smug certainty that morality always loses.
I'm a 40 year old black man who lives in America and have been following JBP for the last year and read 12 Rules. Having said that, I have several friends who follow him as well, so this notion that all his followers are white men is just nonsense. I even post some of his videos on my FB from time to time and black people who don't know who JBP tend to agree with his message or the points in the videos I share. The only time someone says something negative on my posts is when it's someone who's "heard of" Jordan Peterson before.
Totally agree
i am a 41 yo black (African) male living in Philadelphia. I follow JBP religiously. i hate when activist who pretend to be journalist attempts to asked gotcha question to support their narrative about him.
@blob blob yea it was a stupid argument. Black men make up 6% of the US population. If 1% of us were JBP followers and .5% were JBP followers white, they would still say, "he has more white followers."
"Heard of". Exactly my experience.
Black dude from South Africa here, also JBP fan
Disliked this video because of the interviewer. Like this comment for Jordan.
very clever
I also disliked the interview for the interviewer.
Likes and dislikes are excesses of the mind.
Don't know this interviewer... but, found him smug, pompous, and constantly interrupting Jordan. My interpretation is he is trying to be more intelligent than he really is. Very sad....
Fair enough
As a New Zealander, Simon owes me an apology for complete and utter embarrassment.
The Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux interview with another NZ "journalist" was equally as atrocious. New Zealand journalism must be very, very, low brow.
wolfcult, anyone that's been around a kiwi knows that he isn't representative
@@Charliechorizo It is. It is.

Wilson, you dirty, dirty smear merchant.
This should be the only comment spammed down the comment section on any youtube interview with people like this.
We have a spicy Sargon fan hehe
A fellow viewer of Carl I see!
It's possible that Wilson is an extremely low iq pigeon with little to no reading comprehension. Not likely, but possible.
Welvome to new zealand journalism ...
The Simon Wilson guy constantly made sly digs at Peterson, was extremely patronising, and understands little of what Jordan Peterson says. He's an incompetent troll interviewer.
@ Yep, all that sounds likely.
I completely agree John
I see it a little differently. I am a big fan of Jordan’s, however the fact that he has to be constantly on his guard means that some opportunities to further explore and challenges his ideas in these interviews (which takes courage I will admit) are lost when he hides behind the barricades of his long held beliefs.
John Williamson See above.
@@warriormonx Yes, but that's not Jordan's fault. He has said that he goes into these things not knowing what will be asked and how it will go. The journalist has wasted an enormous opportunity to explore JP's mind and produce an interview that will have some positive impact. Alas, he threw his chance down the drain and will only be remembered as a fool.
The smug dismissiveness of this interviewer is truly pathetic.
That interviewer is a jerk. It is not only angry young men who follow Jordan. I agree with Jordan and watch all of his interviews and admire his directness. I am female and 71. My daughter and grand daughters also watch him. He is not angry, he is direct and factual and doesn't wishy wash life.
donde2k - I was just watching this and stopped to comment almost the exact thing you did. He's so smug that it's sickening. I genuinely hate most "journalists" today for this very reason.
Women themselves know they shouldn't vote. Jordan is an idealistic fool in this respect.
Everything that is wrong about journalism: Simon Wilson. Three years ago, I wrote to him (without getting an answer): Dear Mr. Wilson, among all controversial interviews with Mr. Peterson, yours is truly outstanding. First, because of your mellow, pleasant voice and your very fine taste for intellectual glasses. But mostly, because you control your animus very well, trying to give the impression of an engaged journalist, who is just asking some important questions. The big effort for control covers the glaring expression, that your politeness is the most useful cover for arrogance. And that arrogance can't hide you're just performing preconceptions. Peterson, the angry egotist. At the end of every topic, you keep the last word with ironical degradation. You just talk over your guest, if it gets too much for you, or provoke him with out-cranked taunt. (20:30) The book is all black and white, but you cannot name one example. Wasn't there enough time to write down at least one? Maybe there was, but your animus made you forget it. Your disgust of Peterson is lurking through every look and every word. You are no journalist. You failed. It was painful to see the whole interview. I saw a rotten soul. Poor you! Get well soon. Christoph Spielberger
you've perfectly summarize my thought of all these "journalist" bien-pensants, thank you ahah
(in Europe we have only "journalists" like this guy, you'd be depressed looking television)
Well said, this is exactly how I felt. I wish I could have articulated my feelings as well as you have. Thanks
Wilson is an intellectual cur and coward. He uses these snide, cheap and intellectually dishonest tactics, because he knows he cannot defeat Peterson on reason, facts and logic. He hasn't the wit, integrity or facts to do it. Hence the cheap tactics he has to resort to. it's the Liberal "interviewer" playbook.
Cathy Newman tried to do the same thing, but made the mistake of giving Peterson the time to answer fully and humiliate her - ever so politely - in the process. Actually, she humiliated herself.
This is harsh and quite a spill from Spielberg... 😂
He's by far the most polite person to interview Peterson, of all the ones who don't like him. But you're right, his animosity is well controlled...but it's there and you can see it. Bad form for trying to stroke anger out of Peterson in such a feeble and manipulating manner, he needs to be better.

Ukraine here
That is fantastic.
The interviewer is trying his best to antagonize Jordan and failing miserably... Jordan is so amazingly calm and authentic
My favourite part is near the end where he clearly gives up on trying to make Jordan angry and simply states "you seem very angry"
Can anyone make sense of these JP tidbits: 6. "The ignorant Left says you can place the responsibility for hierarchy and inequality at the feet of western civilization and capitalism...that is unbelievably wrong."
7. "You should always view people as individuals first and as members of a collective far second....this is what accounts for the spread of freedom and democracy."
8. "The world is in a messy state, whose fault is it, yours, its not some identifiable group."
9. "No one goes to a sports event and boos the star, people can celebrate success, but the game needs to be fair, there are plenty of sins on the conscience of the west, but you cant throw the baby out with the bath water, people don't understand how rapidly we are making economic advancements, that is not well distributed knowledge."
@@cowgirlradio22 what doesn't make sense to you? Let's start there
You can see it on his face, in his eyes. He's dead-set on demonising JP in the aims of supporting this new fascist nanny state. Huge respect to Jordan who maintains his cool in the face of unending hostility and smear tactics. I, on the other hand just lose my shit and go ballistic. But ultimately i think things will be fine and the politically correct can shove their easily offended up their own ass.

@@dontpanic7153 Exactly, self-projections left, right, center and up the wazoo. Characteristic of PC people, as it seems to me.
Acts smug and accusatory and then asks are you angry? Nice try.
Right on. He was trying to instigate anger the entire interview.
He asked continuous leading questions, interrupted, presented false statements as if they were fact. Dr. Peterson replies in clear, careful words, and that's presented as anger. It could not have been more obvious provocation.

RichardCorral agreed
Imagine someone trying to tell you that you’re angry when you’re not angry.. that’s the kind of thing that might make you angry. Well done JP, keeping your composure and rooting your responses in FACT!
Talking about gash lighting, right. Gosh, it's painful to watch. If anyone better equipped to deal with being gaslight, that will be JP.
that's a leftist strategy to make the interviewed angry and then attack him fot his anger. They made this to libertarians polititians in my country , unsucessfully
This interview demonstrates clearly the difference between someone who has spent their life developing hard won intelligence, and someone who has spent their life cultivating the shallow appearance of intelligence.
Yes, you are so much more intelligent than he is to assert that, because you listen to Peterson, I guess that gives you superpowers...
Excellent assessment Matthew
thalia garcia It’s interesting that without me even saying which is which, you yourself attributed intelligence to Peterson. Food for thought next time you decide to project upon others online...
@@MatthewPirkowski Line hook and sinker lmao
Well said, sir.
Everything about this Journalist, his inquisitive tilt of the head, his hostile gaze, his smug, self-satisfied face, his accusations, made me a JP fan.
Don't forget the crossed legs and looking down his nose with his complicates "smart guy" glasses.
And the absolutely wild opening statement .. "you seen angry, are you angry? Like wtf bro? Yeah I'm bloody angry now, wtf kind of question is that in an interview? 😂
He has lots of micro expressions and gestures that make Simon so compelling to watch, as he tries to catch JP out.
Why is it that everyone else can get to grips with Jordan Peterson's messages EXCEPT JOURNALISTS?
Because these days 'journalists' are activists and activists have a bias and an agenda. True journalism is near dead.
There is a definite element of jealousy surfacing in some of these interviews. Some have an air of big game hunting, as if the interviewer wants to be the first one to bag a Jordan Peterson which would make them a rock star in the journalistic circles. These people would wonder why I would equate "journalist" with "resentful condescension".
Because Journo's are illiterate except for their own ravings.
It’s a form media programming “television programming” they over load there ideals on us through the media to make us think that’s what the individuals on the left believe. But we all know it’s a lie we know most people have common sense. And we don’t believe their rhetoric.
If you watch Joe Rogan's podcast with Tim Pool you will understand exactly why journalists act and behave like they do.
Painful to watch...the interviewer is so devious. He spoiled the interview which could have been a good one. Poor job interviewer !!
So true Joy
Not devious, just stupid
yeah i thought it was a decent interview until he started telling him he was angry
@@y0bo3000 for an interview he was more of a "you seem like a bad guy" which is every second interview with JP than "how can I make this interview feel new" so "you seem angry" part is scripted as he was reading all that pathetic shit to get a reaction out of him.
Passive aggressive hack journalism
Such a sharp thinker. His ability to respond so quickly with detailed explanations to all those accusations and sleights of hand is incredible.
Changes topic every time he is losing ground :/
Not before he tries to sneak in a point and pretend that both of them agree on it.
@@SupernaturalCBR250R Yeah. I noticed the smug quick arguments or put downs followed quickly by another question so JP had no chance to respond. Do these people understand how petty, ignorant and small this makes them appear?
It is an interview, not a debate. However the insistence on having the last word is quite annoying.

Jeremy B I don’t know how he can answer the same questions that intend to misrepresent or trap him over and over. Also you would think after the first time he did not fall into a trap that they would try a new trap. Not just keep throwing the same one out.
Yes it is hilarious how many times they try to trap him and twist his message and basically attempt to use his fame to gain fame themselves. Step 1 find popular guy, oppose popular guy to show "how much you care" and reap the benefits said opposition.
@@dontimberman5493 It is a total indication of how brainwashed they are, they don't actually want to learn anything from Jordan or let his viewers learn something by asking him something new, they just want to keep on pounding him with the same overused questions for no ones benefit, least of all theirs!
And for this reason such interviewers are good sounding boards for Jordan to clearly express meaning.
Plus they illustrate wrong attitudes and wrong types of thinking very perfectly.
This all has psychological value, you need people to be wrong to pose an interesting disagreement..
Poorly conducted interview; the interviewer isn’t interested in the answers to his questions. Uncomfortable to watch.
Sounds like another day in the life of Jordan and the next journalist.
@@vincevirtua Agreed. And I am a middle aged male in a university level humanities course.
Once upon a time journalists were supposed to be impartial. The interviewer is clearly seething at every answer lol Just not a god look.
I love how the interviewer said "that's a jump from what I said" and then immediately jumps into another question. He must find it hard to be questioned, especially as a journalist.
Lol during this whole interview everytime Peterson pushed back or asked for evidence he just moved on to the next question
Lol exactly what I thought
Now there's a shock tactic there.
The part where the interviewer tries to convince JBP that he's angry was particularly distasteful.
yeah, that was his best trick.
@Brad Johnston yep. he dismantled best weapon of this 'journalist'
That was a really cheap thing to do and was nothing but classic gaslighting.
It speaks volumes really because the interviewer felt had to resort to that because he had failed at every attempt he had made to twist, lie and smear JP’s reputation. Even when he got clear answers he wasn’t accepting them. Pathetic behaviour and extremely narcissistic.
yea, he was fine until that point. that line exposed his views and reasons.
I live in New Zealand, born and raised. Our media is something our nation is ashamed of to the point of utter contempt. The amateurs of amateurs.... they're appalling.

Pitiful if true, but sounds exactly like a lefty. Wouldn't expect anything less.
Simon Wilson is pitiful in his attempt to belittle and misquote a true intellect like Peterson. He shows himself to be a mental midget.
The interviewer is just another regressive that's frustrated the light of truth is shining on the garbage he's bern peddling. He's frustrated they, ghe mainstream media, no longer have a stranglehold on information and that their lies are being shown. Their house was built on sand and crumbling around them.
He's a terrible interviewer that cast strawman after strawman and never addressed the points made. He knows dang well equity is code for equality of outcome and not equality of opportunity. Basically he acted like a petulant child that was upset JBP wouldn't bow down before him.

Cameron Carter I completely agree. What a grub!
I’ve never seen an interviewer get so thoroughly schooled by a guest. Talk about an intellectual dressing down. I felt sorry for that interviewer after a while. What an utter humiliation.

These interviewers don’t even want to understand what he’s saying.

The IQ gap between these two is massive. It would be quite embarrassing for the interviewer if he was at all self reflective.
That would require some form of intellectually honestly.
Some are, but I suspect that guy is just not smart enough.
exactly.. no news is actually good news with these clowns they only survive acidicly
Hes not even controversial, everybody normal likes him
I TOTALLY AGREE. As a woman I don't see were the controversy is. He is brilliant te the core.
As an Australian he isn't as widely known here so I never encountered a hater until I travelled through Yemen with some Americans. When he came up in conversation one of the American men said "He's a foul, misogynistic messiah to pseudo-intellectuals who hate women.". The other two Americans chimed in agreement so I asked for an example. He was genuinely stunned becuase I don't think he'd ever encountered push back on that rehearsed quip. As we were in a place with no internet, and nothing to do for hours but talk, the discussion ended in him admitting that he'd never seen, heard or read anything by Peterson, he'd just been told 3rd hand that he was bad.
Sorry for the essay but that was very eye opening to me.
I've met people from all levels of society back home and abroad and tens of them laud the positive effect in their lives from Peterson, I've yet to meet someone that hates him as a result of actually listening to said.
I imagine a lot of people would have been very happy to hear you say that.
Cathy Newman's career might be dead, but her spirit seems to be living on in 99% of other journalists.
Lmmfao 😂
"Urinalists"
nah channel 4 still has her on to d there interviews lmao
If you want my full honesty, at least Cathy Newman was straightforward with her intent. She more so did not understand Peterson _at all,_ and seemed to actually believed her own ideological thoughts.
These sleezebags on the other hand don't even care about the topic being discussed. They don't stand for something. Their words are merely tools used to harm their opponent as cleverly as they can.
Newman was ideological possession. This man is conscious malevolence.
I have not commented on a video in a while but this interviewer was an embarrassment. He was incredibly accusatory, condescending and clearly came in hostile. Disgusting.
Initially I tried to picture him as well researched, presenting the misquotes and misinterpretations which so many people have echoed around the net, but then the cut-offs and switching to another question whenever Jordan had a calm and reasonable response became irritating. I have to agree with your assessment.
Just like Cathy Newman.
I believe JP may be one of the smartest intellectuals of our time. This kind of tough vetting must be the path to greatness. We may not like it but only through fire can the medal be purified.
Ugh! _"there's a subtext of...",_ _"It's a dog whistle to the..",_ _"You imply that...",_ _"I feel that...",_ _"You seem to be saying that...",_ _"Some people might think that..."._ Why bother addressing people's actual words when you can just insert your own imaginary words into their mouths?
If Peterson has one fault it is that he is too nice. When he catches them in accusations that are false, he needs to STOP the interview. He must force the interviewer to explain him/herself. He must do this to expose the narrative that they pursue. When Peterson lets them move on to the next question knowing that they are going to do it again and again, they will continue until someone has a gotcha question that nicely fits the story they are looking for.
To Dr. Peterson: Take your own advise, Don't be the nice guy!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL comment. It sums up the reality of these utterly anti-intellectual "journalists" perfectly.
EXACTLY! He’s not a journalist at all; rather, he’s an ideologue with an axe to grind and points to score - thinking viewers be damned.
It is a power and control issue..'what you mean' is me taking over your words and therefore being in charge...
This is a great point. You have noticed something really important here. But I think you have gotten it backwards. If someone is screaming "the glass is half full", you have to ask, "Ok, we can all see the glass is half full. So what are you really trying to tell us?"
I became a fan of Jordan Peterson after watching him not only survive "ambush journalism", but watching him win these arguments. He accuses the left-leaning journalists of being lazy and uncreative. I read the "Gulag Archipelago" because Dr. Peterson has recommended it multiple times. What an eye opener.
Wow….
The interviewer is unbearably irritating. He’s masking his anger because Peterson made him look foolish. He’s insecure and did a horrible job of trying to flip the table with the angry bs. It was impossible for me to not be irritated by him to the point of anger. Good for dr Peterson. I think anger because of the dishonesty of the interviewer in this situation in precisely what it should be. Imagine being that guy’s wife or child. God what a pretentious man
Agree this guy is a big time soy boy. Trying to be intellectually advanced but sounds like your typical cry baby Marxist pansy. He wishes to be a victim.
Totally agree with the OP, but some of the replies in this thread have to take it down a few notches. The interviewer definitely had an agenda and asked loaded questions, but peterson handled himself gracefully. There's no need to let you anger get the best of you. You shouldn't idolize Peterson, you should follow his example.
Peterson didn't make him look foolish. He made himself look filled with malintent which is foolish.
Yeah the tipping point for me was when he was accusing Peterson of sowing confusion. He had to be willfully ignorant, actively ignoring Petersons views to come to the conclusions they want. It's pathetic
heavydny86 excellent & under-appreciated point.
Wouldn't nzherald's readers/viewers be better served if their interviewer directed his questions toward discovering exactly why Peterson, the most famous public intellectual on the planet,is having such a positive impact on so many millions of people all over the world?
Or, would nzherald's readers/viewers and the wider public be best served by having their interviewer subject Peterson to a disjointed interrogation for the sole purpose of baiting him into uttering the slightest socio-political blasphemy which can then be used as a pretext to smear him and discredit his larger body of work?
Attack-->fail, attack-->fail, attack-->fail, attack-->fail... very little follow-up discussion of individual topics or light shone on deeper detail or meaning of anything. Simon Wilson may as well have started the interview with: "I have a long list of various accusations of witchcraft which I'd like to go through one-by-one."
At least this nzherald effort is a somewhat longer-format "discussion" and despite the intellectual dishonesty and obviously bad intentions of the Herald, one can learn a lot from Peterson here and be enticed to seek out more of his intellectual output. Contrast this interview with Dr. Oz's here which is actually aimed at educating the viewer/listener...and note the number of views: ua-cam.com/video/AscPHmLWo-M/v-deo.html).
But here nzherald demonstrates EXACTLY why mainstream media is going down the tubes and losing the public's trust.
All of New Zealands press is failing and the sooner the better , they are just cheerleaders for the communists.
They are ideologues, he is undermining their positions of power and gatekeeping information, they cant not fight him, if they dont fight him their worldview will fall apart. And thats something thats hard to overcome for most people, an ideologue doesnt even consider it, which is why they keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, The definition of insanity.
Really well put👌
Perfectly stated.
They put this out and didn't try to hide it. I'm glad they did that, to show JPs dominance
I am a New Zealand citizen, and I’ve never been more disappointed in a New Zealand journalist… What ever happened to impartial journalism?! Why not ask him questions about his philosophies, let him answer and then move on… Rather than challenge, attempt to manipulate and try and bait him into a combative situation. God that pisses me off.
That’s a pretty bit claim, Dale. (How quickly they forget the Southern/Molyneux interviews. :-))
I'm a kiwi too. The (vast) majority of journos vote labour
Oh Dale, as I mentioned to another poster above, we here in the US know there is a majority of your 4.5 million just like you and that's why we come to visit!!!
Dale Williams he is probing deep into petersons philosophies by challenging him to find his way out of difficult corners that Peterson is yet to come out of.
NZ media is a shame. It's pure laboratory of PC.
This guy tried to trap him with his sneaky slimy tactics at every turn. Attack a guy for 30 minutes and proclaim at the end he seems angry. What a cowardly snake.
Three times he accused Peterson of being angry.😅 this poor and sorry excuse for a journalist is so bitter and full of poison that it will be the end of him.😂
TL;DR The whole interview is:
SW: "You do X."
JP: "Do you have an example of me doing X?"
SW: "You don't think you often do X?"
JP: "I don't do X."
SW: "OK."
You forgot the extra smug -ok-...so "Ok ok" (barf)
That’s called:

God it pisses me off when they say "controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson"
He's only controversial to you if you're a freaking idiot. Agree with him or not, he engages with everyone honestly and true to himself
I know right...Because 2+2=4 is controversial.
i mean he uses incredibly weasily tactics to justify peoples prejudices without openly taking stances on various subjects so i dont think you can call him honest and true.
He should take it as compliment tbh, nowadays saying Earth is round constitutes as controversial.
@@kuroshthegreat8073 , You are one of those freakin idiot i'm talking about. "Weasily tacticts"? He's got thousands of hours of videos on UA-cam, he's spoken to thousands of people around the world, he writes in some newspaper, I mean, it's not like anyone is guessing his opinions on anything. It couldn't be more in the open.
@@bmessier2 i dont care about his books or videos. when he goes into an interview and says a bunch of highly conservative shit while avoiding clearly stating his actual stance then what he says could easily be used by a genuine sexist or racist to justify their views. Thats not an honest way to act in an interview.
My dislike was for Simon
same
"I make a small minority of very noisy people very upset" I love it!
Do you think what actually happens is....this journalist sows confusion?
I am a 44 year old male, my wife is 40, and we are both eternally grateful for Jordan and his work. We both were raised in dysfunction, and I personally had the life skills of a rock.
Jordan helped my wife and I to put our life in order.
Our marriage is the best it's ever been, our communication is healthy and honest, I am a better father and we are pursuing our dream as entrepreneurs.
Jordan helps people. He loves people. We are not just angry young white men, we were broken, confused, lost and overwhelmed. God bless this man.
I personally had the life skills of a rock! 🤣 good one mate! 💕
Well done you, and what you have said is moving. It is stories like yours that repeatedly move Peterson to tears. And the Left hate him for the good that he does.
"Hello Jordan Peterson, I'll just barrel through this list of gotcha questions, whilst you eloquently dispatch every one of them"
Howard Alexander exactly!
Haha. That's the TL;DR summary right there.
best summary
I think this is just paid promotion
It’s like bowling at Sir Don Bradman!
I'm shocked by how smug, mean and incompetent the interviewer is.
...all that and he has a really irritating Kiwi accent, possibly the worst accent in the English speaking world.
To be fair he was very polite unlike the rest of the journalist treating Dr. Peterson.
Totally, that Funt is Cumb as Duck!
I could not finish it and I greatly admire JP for his composure but this guy is one false accusation after another not even disguised as an interview
implyingsc2 I’m not shocked, bored by the same old s*** that falls from his pie hole.
It's frustrating that Simon doesn't seem to pay attention to the answers given and is more focused on trying to catch the person off guard with the next question. However, Jordan being questioned handles every question calmly and articulately, which is an excellent display of fairness and honesty.
The interviewer was so biased and one sided that was hard to watch
o0Henry0o he’s a passive aggressive hack
Typical mainstream nz journalism I'm afraid
yep it's sad that this is what they feel that the people want to watch .. didn't the get the notion that people really do enjoy a good progressive conversion and discussion over trying to get sound bytes. All they have to do is look at the views to which people like Micheal Parkinson was able to get in order to know this.
Jordan Peterson has had to deal with a lot of interviewers who think so highly of themselves, whose style is to try to make him angry enough to lose his cool...it is funny because they never can.
Hard to watch how JP can't handle the tough questions, and as per usual he tries to weasel his way out of them. For me it was easy to watch, I am not in the cult.
I’m a woman in my 70’s and find Jordan’s lectures are a shining light in dark times. He is an example of a generous bright man who provides leadership to better lives. This interviewer is an ideologue who aim is just to trap Jordan.
We're all lucky to have this man look out for the younger generation. That is the heartwarming part about Jordan. He genuinely cares about our society and is actively working to fight against tyranny and poisonous ideologies.
Thank you! My mother in-law just told me that she loves his videos and his message.
im a 56 year old woman and I wholeheartedly agree with you Roberta
Yep! Vipers do this tactic to take down those who drop truth bombs. They did the same to Jesus 2,000 years ago. They did the same to Ghandi, theyre doing it to Trump, they did this to any person who doesn't fit into their agenda and narrative.
Roberta Boulton couldn’t have said it better , even if I tried .
I'm a woman who is so very grateful to men like Jordan Peterson, and who thinks men like Simon Wilson ought to be ashamed.
I am also a woman, an aboriginal woman, living in JBP's home province, that absolutely admires that man. I am almost done reading 12 Rules and even purchased his audible so JBP himself reads the book to me. I will read this book many times in my life. It's wonderfully written and I even bought a copy for my parents. They now follow his lectures and interviews on UA-cam. It's fantastic to watch how being on the RIGHT side always wins over the hateful left. Hilarious really. I don't know who that NZ journalist is but he's such a LOSER. He lost every time he tried building a straw man argument. He would know that JBP is the leader of destroying straw man arguments, but he's literally the male version of Kathy Newman! At least Kathy Newman had grace and could accept defeat.
Its so funny how simon wilson thinks he has J. Patterson figured out. I am so thankful to Jordan
You people give me hope. I'm very thankfull for your comments
It’s clear Jordan really cares for people, he has no agenda he just really really cares... the amount of mainstream interviewers that look utterly foolish, uneducated and ridiculous while trying to put words in to Jordan’s mouth or slander his character show their agenda perfectly, they don’t care about us people. Jordan is a man who have saved people and is trying to awaken society to this and prevent the next Holocaust, trust me it’s coming. Bless Jordan, he has saved my life, a woman whom was loosing hope with society, the comments on all of his lectures and interviews have restored hope, they aren’t all indoctrinated hate filled disassociated individuals. Let’s hope humanity prevails. Blessings.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was such an impressive display of stoicism from Mr Peterson I’ve seen in an interview. Granted it’s some time ago and he has had many, many dialectical and personal challenges since then, but I salute Mr Peterson for his composure and professionalism in this interview. This level of control and level headedness is impressive.
As a new Zealander, I’m appalled by this interview. Horrible, absolutely horrible what that journalist was doing. Kudos to JP for being polite and patient with this unprofessional gas lighting journalist. Never liked NZ Herald.
I'm also a New Zealander, and I've never seen this journalist before
@@stephenlindsay3792 neither have I. I guess when your an underground journalist anything goes. When you don’t have a reputation you go and make one. Sadly this is what the journalist will only be known for.
He is a journalist who had point of view, he asked tough questions. There is nothing wrong with that.
So why are you crying? Journalist shouldnt challenge quests?
JP is a big boy and he handled himself well in the interview.
@@Arguments_only I can’t take your comment seriously but at least you tried.
@@mulumilz6833 i understand, its hard to argue logically against my criticism of your untenable emotional "arguments".
But hey at least you tried.....kind of.
Peterson is a perfect example of a man demonstrating the greatest level of patience when confronted with immeasurable levels of ignorance coupled with malevolent ulterior motives. I don't imagine I could ever sit with such calm demeanor and civility if faced with a similar situation. Definitely a person worth emulating.
Joseph Gunderson yeah I personally really love his idea of minimum necessary force. I know it’s not originally his, so I guess you could say I love the way he attempts to act that out and he’s not perfect which is also refreshing to hear him say even he can’t do it all the time, but I’ve definitely been trying to pull that one into my life because I’ve found how much better I can handle myself in stressful conversations or when being critiqued. I read your comment at instantly thought of minimum necessary force so I hope Im not miss reading you there
Amen.
perfect comment. there were so many snarky sarcastic retorts I would've liked to throw at that interviewer. Jordan's way will be much more powerful in the long run, and he knows that. brilliant.
he is a dr. he his treating them has patient wich he should the majority of them who interview him are pretty dilusional
ironic questions followed by systematic interruptions... may just be the worst interviewer I ever saw!
Sounds like the journalist didn't care to have a real discussion, not the other way around. Tired of another lame 'gotcha' attempt. And he watched many of Jordan Peterson's other interviews? Then why does this interview feel so repetitively stale in contriving conflict?
Haha exactly. Every time certain questions are asked, I physically roll my eyes and think 'oh God this one again', and my mind boggles at the fact that Jordan manages to stop himself from doing the same.. Seriously I keep waiting for the moment Jordan goes "Are you friggen serious, this again?" and it never comes.
i suspect the interviewer genuinely has no idea of how much academia and the humanities have become corrupted by identity politics
And this marxist who calls himself a journalist, could not refute JP's argument that most critics of JP regurgitate the same tired critcism first publicised by Cathy Newman without reading JP'sm extensive litertature which in the most part discuss those issues
Most pathetic was when he tried to point out maybe the fault is with Peterson when he always get "misunderstood"
Without even realize that the fault is with all the thousands journalists who don't get it meanwhile MILLIONS of normal people get Peterson without any problems at all. What a blind fool.
Because that's what a journalists job is. It isn't to have conversations because they aren't truth seekers. Their job is to get a juicy story for their blog or newspaper article which means they will try and poke holes and see if they can get the interviewee to say something interesting that will get them viewers.
I've seen my fair share of Peterson interviews conducted by aggressive, uninterested activists, but this is a whole different level. There's something deeply rotten and despicable about this Wilson guy and the fact that he unsuccessfully tries to sugar coat it in the hallmarks of classic journalistic engagement just makes it all the more laughable and egregious.
How embarrassing for that interviewer. Arrogance looks putrid in defeat
"Arrogance looks putrid in defeat". That is a worthy quote my friend. I even ignored the fact that putrid refers to smell not sound. (That a compliment).
@@beaudarcey9586, cheers man
This is every white kiwi in their 30s 40s 50s and beyond
Arrogance at level 1000 and undertones of racism
The interviewer is super annoying, just asking presumptive questions and ignoring JP’s responses...
Absolutely
First of all, I never, ever comment on youtube videos. I see it as a waste of my time (and I don't doubt this probably is) - but this is without a doubt, the most condescending and smug interviewer I have ever come across, compelling me to write my first comment in what is probably years. This is not objective and unbiased. This "interview" was full of innuendo and sarcasm.
Mr Wilson, you are thoroughly unpleasant and dismissive in this interview. If this is an example of how you speak to all of your guests, regardless of their political, social or cultural backgrounds, you should seriously consider reviewing your conduct in future. I would somehow suspect (at the risk of the same accusatory nature as you've displayed throughout this video) you would not speak to many others in the nature you have to Dr Peterson.
The (at the time of this writing) 11k dislike/6k like ratio, as well as the nearly 9k comments suggest I am not alone. Anyone who works for NZ Herald should seriously consider a review of professional journalistic practices. I would expect so much better from what is most likely considered a respected source of news for many Kiwis.
@JonBloor - thanks for a good comment. Well at the time of writing this reply and as a NZer, I’d say many of us have very low regard for the so called integrity of the NZ Herald. Their left bias is nauseous and bar a couple of journos, their reporting has historically been lazy imo. I thought Wilson here showed considerable respect for Peterson, as he might. But he also showed reasonable scrambling skills. When Mr Peterson invited him to the brink, our intrepid Warrior had a close look, felt his bowel loosen, then pulled himself back up the handle of his ice axe and hauled himself back from the abyss of journalistic humiliation. However, he has not escaped Forum ridicule. I also think Peterson takes no pleasure in all this either. He firmly pointed out (I thought) that he was genuinely hurt that young men had been so neglected that they had to come to an outside source of compassionate guidance such as his, to find a steady light on ways to exit to addictions. Simon Wilson showed his inadequacy here, in refusing to join Peterson in celebrating the power and responsibility of the fourth estate to basically ‘do good’ where they can. Imo he let himself down and as the comments here show, he rendered himself as merely another journalist. Shame. He could learn a lot from this attempt at an interview- let’s hope he does. F.
Another New Zealander here, no, we don't have a lot of respect for the media corporate entities force down our throat with clowns like this. Fortunately the internet has liberated us from having to listen to these opinionated halfwits and allowed us to research our own news. For some reason, even while they're obsolete people keep playing these frauds that wouldn't know objectivity if they were choking on it.
My position? I've watched a lot of Jordan's interviews, listened to him speak and checked many of the references and statistics he sites... i'm not a fan boy, but what I can tell you is that from my research into what he's been saying all along is factually valid and I challenge anyone that disagrees to form a non emotional opposition argument and bring it to the table.
Hi Toasty - yes, a short time spent listening to JP reveals a careful, objective mind with a good deal of compassion as well. I've mostly been impressed by him - maybe not so much his diet ... I watched a vid couple of years back and the vitriolic comments from Americans and Canadians was really surprising. Playing the man not the ball. I think he's offended a lot of the hurty-left over there for years. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mind you, I listened to yesterdays US Dem candidate shootout, featuring a Julian Castro among a dozen others. This twisted pixie is pushing to legislate for Trans-men (guys who identify as gals) to get Govt grants for abortions - if and when they get knocked-up. WTF? It's a money grabber of course, but the kicker is, not one Democrat questioned this candidates' logic and no one even cracked a grin! I'm fine with gays and whatever, but holy whistling duck-shit - men cannot bear children - can they??. It's a biological impo... So imo if Wilson's not going to allow himself to call this insanity out in the Herald over the nxt year or so, he's going to hoist himself further up the petard he's swinging on right now. Interesting media point Toasty. Google, You tube and Facebook are now working on algorithms to identify so called free-speech. Google stated that they will not support a 'Trump Like' social media useage in 2020. If it doesn't fit their conformist agenda, they remove all material post-haste. Peterson has referred to it in the past and warns that it is totally politically motivated to the Left. There's a lot of stuff going down at present. Nice talking.
@@TheFossie12 Hey Karen, thank you for the post :), I had heard about the whole "trump bad, Google sanctioned "free" speech good" nonsense. It's like people forget what fascism is >_>, People like Wilson can only survive in the real world so long, and as long as we have a medium in which we can discuss the issues amongst ourselves our terrible media will fade into antiquity... thankfully...

minervaeiou I’ve lived in NZ for 17 years and have never heard of Simon Wilson. I presume he is a nobody who somehow got to apparently interview Jordan.
From New Zealand - I'm so sorry Jordan that you had to suffer this unbearable cretin. Someone should have warned you.
I'm curious when these interviewers will give up trying to put words into Jordan Peterson's mouth. Their success rate is 0.00.
So, what you're saying is....?
they don't understand who they are dealing with. this is a person who spends ALL day, studying and mastering his craft. this is a psychologist and professor...who in their right mind could think they can come without a well prepared argument to think that they will come ahead using a hawkish phrase like this "journalist". its like saying to a professional fighter: hey lets fight and have the least of hope that you will come ahead and have never trained a day in your life, you would never dare to do that.
This interviewer acted entirely inappropriately. It needn't really be articulated because its so self evident thats it's embarssing to even watch. He was rude, dismissive, and obnoxious. He didn't act like an interviewer, with thoughtful questions, instead he attempted to display his own ideology with rhetoric and falsity. Frankly its shameful.

I am stunned by the sophomoric mentality of this so-called journalist. Has the legacy media learned precisely nothing from the Cathy Newman incident? Never mind; these attempts to box Dr Peterson into a corner will continue to backfire, much to the embarrassment of those trying to curate such a disingenuous frame and ultimately winning Jordan further support from honest men and women. Once again, well done JP!
the 'interviewer' was out of his league here. So many of his questions showed bias and ignorance of what Jordan has actually said and what he meant when he said it. who is this tool?
Yep. It became increasingly more painful to watch him open his mouth to change feet as this shabby excuse for an interview went on. I don't know how Doc Peterson could be so civil to that clown!
Agreed the Interviewer was way out of his depth. You could tell he was raised on socialist beliefs and shows through.
Somehow Simon managed to write an even worse article than this interview.

Another "so your saying" interview. What a sad person Simon is.
Why do they have to tack on 'controversial' every time his name is mentioned?
Calling someone "controversial" is a linguistic trick to avoid revealing distaste for someone and depending on most peoples psychological tendencies to do the work. Controversy = disruptive = bad element = bad person.
Emmy Hucker : perhaps to signal that you should be wary of him, or maybe to drum up intrigue. What I also don't understand is why they always ask the same questions and bring up the same points, like "you've said that feminists crave male domination" or "or you said that a man cannot control a crazy woman". Could be some kind of game to reinforce that he's objectionable or some kind of crackpot.
They also just jump about from topic to topic, hardly letting anything develop or flower into an interesting point. It's like they want to get through the interview stirring up a cloud of murk instead of helping to illuminate understanding.
by repeating words like that the msm hopes to plant a negative association in the heads of viewers
Emmy Hucker I have a conspiracy theory that the “controversy” is a ruse to sell tickets. Notice the useless idiots who protest jbp is proportional to the unemployment rate? Also the talent management company that organises these things is very mainstream.
So that left leaning brainwashed types are constantly warned: "Don't start reading this man's work". That is the left's biggest fear, that their ignorant followers will start to educate themselves, see the inherent goodness in some of the "oppositions" worldview, and start to see the left for what it really is: nascent totalitarian tyranny.
A series of “gotcha” questions that all failed spectacularly. Simon Wilson interviews like a first year student in feminist studies. Embarrassing.
There's nothing else to do any more. Peterson has been doing thousands of interviews all over the world for years, and the conversation and topics covered are always the same. I know everything Jordan's going to say before he says it by now.
Id rather see some entertainment where he's poked and prodded.
I particularly like Dr. P's method of insult via factual statement (journalists reading other journalists and not reading the source - which flew by undetected by this asshat who clearly wasn't seeking any type of truth or meaning, just seeking his tribal affiliation)
I love how almost every interview is an attack and Jordan’s always wins
My thoughts exactly.
I love that Jordon always wins, but I lament the quality of journalists and their lack of integrity.
Ask gotcha question. Listen to reasonable answer. Throw in snide editorial on your way to your next question. Repeat.
EXACTLY! The viewers must think differently than us???? Why would they even post this? It makes the guy seems so dim with his canned comments.
JBP should've just told him off after the don't you represent identity politics question... SMH
haha I thought the exact same
So, so true.
Haha, I just commented something like this before I read down to your comment. Not surprised, though. It was so annoying.
Simon Wilson - you have just become the latest journalist to expose your bias to a very large audience. This must not be very good for business.
Simon WIlson:
Before Interview: "I'm going to be a condescending ass but I'm going to remain forcibly calm so I don't end up like Cathy Newman"
After Interview: "Oh no"
Lol R.I.P Cathy Newman, in a way she was immortalized as one of the biggest leftist logic failures
*"Doh!"
You can see instantly that Jordan Peterson instantly dislikes Simon Wilson. Smart man.
A question for Simon Wilson; what were you attempting to achieve here?
If I was to guess, expose something nasty about Jordan. Why? Because it sells better than finding good things about people. He tried very hard too, looking up a lot of information about Jordan but with the twist Simon thinks could get him to slip up. At this point, he has an opinion piece about Jordan and maybe a sound byte.
Jason Appleby he was attempting to destroy and obfuscate truth..
@Vladimir Novitski You wrote: He was attempting to surpass Cathy Newman."
I had that same thought. Unlike Newman this guy seems to have done his home work and STILL was an abject failure. I even thought he blanched bright red in one or two places but it might have been my hopeful imagination.
Exactly indeed.
To show people how terrible JP is
This interview is another showcase why the legacy media is dying. The interviewer is not interested ferreting out the veracity of JP words but instead clearly interested in pushing a narrative that JP is some kind of menace to society. In addition, the irony appears lost on the interviewer that the real menace is people like him and the tired old MSM.
exactly.. perfectly said.
Real woke. Too bad you can't see that you're being led on by Peterson.
Very well said sir.
Why is it always white people who accuse JP of aiming his talks toward white men?
I don’t want my downvote for Simon to be misinterpreted as a downvote for Jordan, but I don’t want my upvote for Jordan to be misinterpreted as an upvote for Simon. Tough choice.
This is the NZ Herald's page. This is the product they are delivering to the public. Let them know what you think of their work.
As another commenter mentioned and I agree, it’s a good thing that the NZ Herald posted the discussion in full form. But I’m suspicious that they didn’t put their best foot forward with Simon intentionally, perhaps having had seen the view count disparity between ‘controversial’ JP interviews and otherwise constructive JP interviews. I don’t wan’t to support that kind of thinking either, but I wouldn’t downvote based on a suspicion.
I was thinking the same thing ..
I find it amusing that every journalist who attempts to outsmart Jordan Peterson ends up getting humiliated, and yet they keep on coming.
While there are some highly intelligent journalism majors, journalism is near the bottom of the pile when it comes to average SAT scores of matriculating undergrads.
Quite condescending. Simon didn’t wait for answers, and when the he realized that there was a good answer for a question he immediately moved on to the next caricaturization or question. Simon accused Jordan of never admitting fault, but on the other hand he also never once admitted that maybe one of his accusations that he haphazardly brought forth may have been in poor taste.
"immediately moved on" as in "I'll start the next question WHILE YOU'RE ANSWERING this one." Good grief. What a tool, this Simon Wilson.
Absolutely agree with ti ou and thought the same myself.
What bothers me about Simon is that he asks questions with an accusational undertone, trying to provoke the interviewee. If the interviewee doesn't give into emotions, and still gives a proper solid answer (in this case Peterson manages to do so EVERY time), then Simon will make a short remark that questions the validity of the answer quickly followed by a question about a different topic, not giving the interviewee time to respond. The worst parts are when Simon doesn't even know HOW to respond to the answer and just exhales a condescending 'ha!' before switching topics. It makes this 'interview' absolutely painful to watch.
I am pretty sure Simon upon watching the replay of the interview would've agreed with most of the sentiment that he cocked this one up royally. It's a hard thing to control ones emotion and body language when doing a one-on-one interview... Peterson is decent, but Wilson is horrid. If he was doing it accidentally, then he needs to do better homework, and if on purpose, then he's absolutely in the wrong game... maybe interviewing league rugby players would be more his level of general acumen.
In short, it was pretty clear he was out of his depth and should have practiced his listening skills in this one.
Yes, painfully "full of pain"...full to the brim with excruciating painful pain! My head was actually hurting in the end because of too many non-sequential nonsensical questions designed for one purpose==>> TO TRIP PETERSON UP AND EMBARRASS/DISCREDIT HIM OR CONSERVATISM/TRADITIONALISM! Sad.

That is what feminists do....they make an accusation and when called on it the change the goal posts....none of this is new.
THIS
@@brianbisset2211 The interviewer had done plenty of homework, so he thought anyway. He still got schooled.
Simon takes an issue with something Peterson said, Peterson corrects him, and Simon says "let's not go there.". WTF! YOU BROUGHT IT UP!
Right??? It was infuriating!
Interviewer: will you fall for this trap?
Peterson: no, let's talk about it tho-
Interviewer: CRAP! Next trap!
Lol the “your supporters are angry white men”
JP points out that’s nonsense, even if there were angry white men it would be a tiny minority, and even they don’t seem to demonstrate “anger”.
Interviewer is like “omg u take what I say to extremes, no one said it is ALL of your fans”...... lol
What an appalling interrogator, journalist? Feeble attempts to make Jordan peterson angry . His patience when dealing with these idiots is amazing.
Appalling, behavior by the interviewer !!
Such dignity and composure shown by Dr Peterson ❤️
His behaviour was quite disgusting and the reason why traditional media is dead.
This was just painful to watch.....Simon Wilson just made a fool of himself. Another Cathy Newman
Andrew Kennedy I thought that too!
This Simon guy is so hostile for no reason. He has an agenda to push, and that’s it. Thanks for staying calm and reasonable. Jordan wins again.
@@LouHillierPsych I find it sad that this obnoxious man should believe himself to be intellectually superior to Peterson. He is a brittle bully who deliberately misquotes and distorts.
It is really strange, isn't it
It's amazing how these interviewers can not hide their agenda at all. Jordan is doing amazing work.
This is legitimately one of the most unprofessional interview I've ever watched. Mad respect to Jordan and fire this other bloke...
And still this interview is so much better than the ones lead by some female British "jounalists". I had to stop listening to them: too disturbing for my brain!
Don't fire him, make him the villain in a tv show
I don’t understand why you would say that. Can you give some examples? I am a huge JP fan but I found this interview very interesting and professional.
@@ramibaradei9156 Interviewing should be a voyage of discovery, not a bloody minefield of trying to trap your guest for a got you moment. Professional? Words that come to mind to describe the journalist are deceitful, false, weasel, snake, not a genuine bone in his body.
@@kazzana9013 💯👍🏻
Cathy Newman has grown a beard and now wears glasses?
Cathy Newman had more integrity than this shmuck. She at least admitted that Dr. Peterson got her on the point of contention.
LOL!
Nice!
Ya got me there. Still LOL my friend.
@@xanuui her interview was worse. She was trying to put words in his mouth
I’m mixed and I listen to Jordan. The color of my skin is irrelevant. It’s kinda shitty that this guy is a journalist and he didn’t even read the book.
31:25 Shows Dr Jordan Peterson's greatness. His pure intention of his heart, we need more humans like him.
What an obnoxious interviewer! Pseudo intellectual consistently weaponising false and out of context statements.
But then he whimpers away like a blow-up sword at the first sign of resistance.
i voted down this video due to the utter lack of professional impartiality. Trying to manipulate the interviewee and intentionally provoke him in such a fashion is a disgrace to the journalistic profession. No different than Cathy Newman apart from trying to sound reasonable by being passive aggressive instead of directly confrontational. Peterson had to correct every statement and question. Embarrassing performance by the interviewer.
"Trying to manipulate the interviewee and intentionally provoke him in such a fashion is a disgrace to the journalistic profession" Not sure I agree: it tests JP and his ideas. Which come out shining, of course.
@@TheClunkingFist You make an excellent point. I would contend that it is very possible to test him and his ideas without the manipulation. The best examples of journalism are often journalist playing devils advocate on both sides, asking tough direct questions, and asking for clarification with an intent (in so far as is possible) without further agenda. This is possible even when the presenter has an admitted or exemplified strong bias. Examples like the Hoover Institute interviews and Dave Rubin both routinely showcase this. In support of your point, I suppose it does create a combative environment that challenges the person being interviewed to keep their cool, as an argument can be made that it can be an effective method to detect inconsistencies in what they are saying by trying to have them trip up. That being said, I think there are more principled ways to go about it, and I don't believe this interviewer's intent was in testing Peterson's ideas, but to intentionally misrepresent him.
I meant to say "with an attempt to impartially explore his ideas"...
The interviewer is dull witted and passive agressive. Not quite cunning either.
Shine on jp.
He is your not bright at all
It struck me how he was not listening with intention to understand but to argue his points. When he knew he lost the arguments, he started - in true woke style - trying to cast doubt on his mental attitude of JP coming across angry and thus dismissable.
Wake up mr. Wilson, he was talking to you as part of the 5% who are noisy which irritates him and most of us. Get another job, you suck being an interviewer - you are totally out of your depth of what really ails the world.
I have never seen an interviewer so eager for his chance to speak again.
Why ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer?
paintboy360 he just want to catch perterson slipping and saying something bad so he can get an “ah ha I got you” moment
Exactly. one of the worst interviews I have ever heard or seen. What got me is that Simon kept coming from a "high horse' place...typical of NZ journalists, in the Kim Hill tradition.
What a pathetic peace of journalism. Simon Wilson should take a lot of time to reflect on is tribal journalist perception.
piece* and lol the exact opposite of peace ha ha
@@kaunisrumilus Thanks grammar police for attacking my dyslexia. Hope that made you feel good inside. Peace.
I love how whenever Peterson starts to explain how wrong one of the interviewers accusations are, the interviewer quickly waves his hands saying, "yes, yes, let's move on, ok so what about THIS accusation!".
Clearly not interested in the answers, just fishing for the responses he wants.
Correct
So I am not the only one who noticed that.
What an interviewer does when they realise Peterson is far too smart for their bullshit.
yeah that was really funny
Yep one cheap gotcha attempt starts failing so he has to " move on" to the next pathetic attempt.
This vid should be retitled to "Controversial interviewer Simon Wilson sits down with visiting Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson" and subtitled "33 minutes of repetitive attacks by deliberate misreading and misrepresenting all available reference material".
Hats off to Mr Peterson for handling it with this much patience and dignity.
Thus the interviewer needs to be thrown out the back door....what a waste. Keep up the good work Dr.
Don't you love it when Peterson absolutely crushes the interviewer's loaded question with his response, the interviewer does not acknowledge it in any way, and quickly moves onto an unrelated topic?
He often does acknowledge genuine points with "...yes i accept that" or he laughs it off saying "ok that's the way you see it", trying to present himself as either agreeable or presenting JP as having a silly opinion. He then moves on quickly, you're right
The fact that jp has gone on so many interviews with the literal best journalists the media has to throw at him, and not once lost an argument, just goes to show they're just trying to milk him for content, and there's absolutely nothing to debate with him other than controversial topics he's gotten put into that are based on misconstrued and misinterpreted statements that jp has made.
noticed the same thing, so aggravating
@@dh7139 ME too, there are no new questions, just same old accusations, over and over. I can just about answer some of those questions for Jordan because I've heard them so many times by the BS journalists.😂😂😂😂
Wow, I admire JP's willingness to be interviewed by a two-year-old. Well done Dr. Peterson.
JP knows that his easy dismantling of pseudointellectual ambush journalists greatly broadens his appeal.
@@testodude I enjoyed it mainly because I slap the extended hand of any journalist I meet. They’re not worth the powder required to blow them up.
A very badly socialized 2 year old, I would say.
No. This isn't the behavior of a two-year-old. This is the behavior of a very smart man, whose values are very, very poisonous, and he's trying to stain a very good man and destroy him. There's something almost Biblical in how creepy and evil Simon strikes me. Like if you watched someone manipulate an innocent child into committing a crime, purely for the pleasure of smug certainty that morality always loses.
Boo hoo, so lucky that JP has you to say nasty things about anyone who doesn't worship him like you do.
Thanks!
