Based on my admiration of JBP and appreciation for his thoughts on the things he talks about, I'd never judge any of his works as sexy. Thought provoking, inspiring, insightful, etc...but never sexy.

What did Jordan say: orderly people are very judgmental 🤔
Jordan: Cars have sexy curves
*Tesla Cybertruck: Am I a joke to you ?*
Someone in the comment section was saying extensive research showed that "Women have an inherent fascination with stronger lines". Think radical feminism and then realise Tesla is ahead of the curve with that one.
M3galodon Elon running through the halls telling all the designers “Guys! Two words. Radical. Fems. Huh? Huh? Design a hideous beast of a truck with STROOOOONG lines. These fems will salivate over this rig thinking about all the wine and cat litter they can truck back to their studio apartments. Ha Ha, Humans are so simple, K I’m heading out to Mars for lunch”

Dr. Peterson has literally changed my life! clean your room...then fix up some relationships, write out how you are going to achieve practical goals and do it daily. Writing things out has a profound effect on the world around you: manifesting your idea's onto a stable platform that can be tweaked after the mind has some time to work on it. Someone with a relatively high IQ can only hold 11 numbers in their head simultaneously, that's why writing is the secret: it's a place to put down the numbers so you can better preform critical thinking......Remember to write
indeed
I think JP is incredibly sexy
wesley scott thank you
wesley scott can you please give me a link to the video about writing, or tell me the name of it, thanks!
lol what utter rubbish
As an actual Automotive Designer, we are aware of the billions that have been spent in studies supporting what people buy. Women have an inherent fascination with stronger lines, similar to mens jaw lines. Lamborghini, etc. Men more voluptuous curves. Depending on the vehicle and the most highest demographic that purchase the vehicle the car is designed to cater to that.
but im a male and like cars with strong lines like dodge demon or hellcat

Generally machines are designed to replicate living organisms in nature.
Very good one
Like viberators.
What are our computer and phones trying to replicate?
@@osarx2676 computers are just a replication of a brain. Cameras are just a replication of how our biological eyes function. Planes and helicopters were inspired by birds. Submarines were inspired by whales. Now we're creating huminoid intelligent robots. Cars were designed to replicate the speed of a horse; hence the term "horsepower". Humans have always been curious to explore the world but we didn't have the adavantages that other animals had such as speed, the ability to fly and breathe under water so we invented machienes to replicate them and now we're trying to bring them to life with AI.
do you mean like how a cell has all these little things in it (golgi apparatus and whatnot), sort of like a computer, phone, or game console also does?

Bruh that resonates with me on a spiritual level, stay strong dude! ✊🏻
Thank you for putting the link to the full lecture. You are the only JBP clips channel I've seen that actually shows links to the original lecture, which is very useful.
"Oh yes, yes I did have a point". LOL this guy is awesome. Great vids.
I love it when you can actually see his mind playing his conversation back in reverse, like he's got movies up there showing him exactly what was going on the first time he really noticed, and started thinking about this particular train of thought.
The last few lines of this video are incredibly profound.
"All ideals are oppressive"
Um Nachtet idealism isn't set within reality
Wait what does your comment have to do with this direct quote from the video? It doesnt make any sense considering the context in which it was uttered by Dr. Peterson.
+Um Nachtet How do you feel as a person every time you don't meet your ideals? Have you met a person who has ever gotten pumped by missing their own ideals by miles?
What you guys get wrong is that you think I disapprove of the quotation, the "wow" simply means that I think its an exceptionally well thought out statement...
Um Nachtet Taking both your comments makes it difficult to piece, as supportive. It comes out more like an open ended confused question when you put both your comments together.
I like big trucks. Does it make me gay?
cesteres yes and a big baby boy. Do you like them red too, big boy?
cesteres I drive big trucks. Have you penis envy?
No. Likewise I prefer square 90s bmws over curvy new ones. I think it's women who actually prefer curvy cars vs men and nearly everything is advertised towards women nowadays
@@TheDuvee6 Yes I tend to agree.....plenty of aggressive looking cars aimed at males have square lines (e.g. Ford Mustang). I'd like to see the research on that....
@@ecurb10 Pretty sure mustangs were originally marketed for/aimed at women. Mustangs were intended to be a chick car, yet for some reason a large portion of the population sees them as masculine cars now. I personally still view them as chick cars, especially if a convertible but I digress.

As an artist and wanting to be a car designer when I was young, I always drew sexy looking cars. I would erase parts of cars in magazines and redraw them to look sexier. I also used to draw sexy, curvy women. Trying to please your senses isn't a terrible thing in a world with so many things bad. It's an escape from reality for a while. The reason the new 2021 Ford Bronco is such a resounding hit is because it's a strong, muscular, powerful looking version of what a man wishes he were. Two opposing styles but attractive for different reasons.
And nobody likes the Porsche 924 cause it’s a skinny little car with tiny awkward thin wheels and derpy eyes. Just like me. And that’s why I love it. I guess relatability also has to do with car design.
I like how all the students have Word and OneNote opened on their laptops. They actually take notes.
I've subscribed for the thumbnails dude.
Alfa Romeo. 'Nuff said
AMG GT-R
wishuhadmyname Also the Aston Martin Vantage. It follows the golden ratio. I have no idea what that is, but I here its important in the art world.
Andrew GTB It's 1.618... If you start with 1, and add the previous number (0), you get 1. Add the previous number (1) again, you get 2. Do this again you get 3. Do it over and over, you get 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 and so on. The golden ratio comes from dividing a given number in this sequence by the previous number. 5÷3=1.666... 8÷5=1.6. 55÷34=1.617 (as the numbers get larger, their ratios get closer to 1.618). This ratio is found all over nature and seems to be a very attractive way of making things (i.e., credit card dimensions form the golden ratio). Hope this crash course helps
wishuhadmyname Thanks, I will probably have to learn this in the future. Often times people follow this ratio without even continously knowing it.
Andrew GTB A 17th (i think?) century italian mathimatician named Fibonacci discovered this ratio in the curvature of snail shells as well as in rabbit breeding dynamics. So the sequence is called the Fibonacci Sequence
Symmetry is the only thing that a human face & the front of a car have in common. Cars are just appliances to people these says, most are incapable of truly appreciating a classic car.
Yea seems that way, with the way they treat them sometimes (grrrr!), but subconsciously people who don't even like cars are still affected by the design.
The thumbnail got me
Thanks
usually the middle of a dashboard makes a face with 2 air vents (eyes) and the cd player (mouth) too. the old renault twingo dashboard is really naughty turned upside down, with a ball put in it's mouth :D
the veyron on the thumbnail for the video is literally gta 😂
@1:40
Isn't it shown though that readers of these gossip and fashion magazines get more depressed with every page they turn?
Yeah, like social media. There are some products that people consume although it makes them feel worse. It's weird, maybe the reason people keep consuming them anyway is FOMO
@@algum.cara1 Fomo?
@@chilael6892 Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO)
Yes I immediately thought of that too, but perhaps the research shows that more people feel positive from it than do negative.
It could just be feminists with their ideology who promotes that position, not based on research but how it "ought to be" perhaps?
he did say the effect it has on your brain is the lure not the emotional reward
hats off to the guy who manages camera focus
That thumbnail reminds me of my first attempt at photo shop in highschool 😂 "mmm image yes"
the headlight on an e60 5 series is a perfect example of what JBP is talking about. he literally mentions them, too.
JBP is thinking of the prodigy, a red na miata
Brilliant
“ALL IDEALS ARE OPPRESSIVE” wow
That’s a dead on analogy on cars. Reminds me of when Porsche initially came out with a cheap roadster (early 2000s) with a single port exhaust pipe. It was hideous; made you feel like someone was “mooning” you if you were unfortunate enough to get behind on - NOT what Porsche was famous for. In subsequent model years, the car was produced with traditional duel exhaust pipes. 🤣
That was deep for a 3 min long video about sexy cars
Psychology applied to cars. Great.
Stance matters.
Both your own and your car 🤗

When he says "All ideals are oppressive", BINGO !
"people dont want a car with 3 headlight"
Cybertruck : hold my charging cable
the 'sexy" curves are designed to increase the friction between the car and the road, thus increasing the stability of the car .
So the car you buys aesthetics could reflect your personality too. That's interesting
Definitely! That's a given.
It's actually pretty obvious.
wow.....look at all those laptops!!!
kids these days....
As a cardesigner i approve! I get inspired by life and women!
As big is now regarded as beautiful. Maybe we should make cars with big, wide curves with a huge rear end.
There's a country song I heard on the radio. The lyrics went, "my girl she really loves my tractor, it really turns her own". Tractors are designed for function not form. how do you explain that one?
explains why im still amazed with my sexy curvy red (sporty) hatch even after it's been 3 years and its now 13 years old
What's the emotionally attainable ideal of a Citroen 2CV. I mean obviously it had an appeal because they sold so many of them. But what does the "inviting" face saying?
we'd have to be in those times to be able to ascertain it more accurately. I still like them (: contrary to so many cars today, it's amiable and friendly. It was also one of the most affordable cars at the time
"-u know cars have faces-"
*YES why did everyone think I was crazy for seeing what overs clearly could not?*
*All ideals are oppressive*
I love that one
Ain't it the truth though and best we got it to try and live up to them.
Probably why people love the looks of the Ducati 996 and dislike the 999
Oh, men and their cars :3
So a curvy red sportscar is what I need under my bed before I get to clearing out all the dust bunnies...ahhh...its all so clear to me now!
Nice name
Curves? Say that to the cybertruck
I wonder what would happen if all magazines and newspapers did not used any visual-aid (photos, illustrations, etc.) next to their content. Would people go for content? Or would they be attracted maybe to the ones with better fonts? What if they all had the same fonts? Would I be the organization of letters? The texture of the paper itself (assuming offline use)? Would people always try to find aesthetics in one thing and be attracted more to it than to another, even when the differences are subtle? That is assuming the magazines' content is more or less the same.

wtf?? i want a car with three headlights!!
FREAK :)
How long have cars been designed this way? Personally, when I look at a modern sport car like a BMW or new Supra, the face looks kinda derpy and goony. I much prefer older cars’ looks. Less busy lines, simple identifiable shapes, I wonder what psychology went into those cars.
