  • In this lecture, I discuss the manner in which the fundamental symbolic archetypes (particularly those dealing with the Wise King and Tyrant) are hijacked for the purposes of propaganda. Ideologies are parasites. Their hosts are archetypes. Knowledge of the underlying archetypes can produce immunity against ideological possession.

    @Luke-lv3dz 7 років тому +791

    Watching this and reflecting on the conversation with Sam Harris, it's clear the two have a deep difference not just in belief and style but deep into cognitive function. JP has a broad, synthetic vision with connections everywhere; Sam has a detailed, incisive view but blind to the whole. JP values the novel connection (venturing into chaos) while Sam bunkers down in the known. If you push JP's thinking pattern to the extreme, there is psychosis; if you push Sam's, you have Asperger's. Sam only ever sounds logical but will never teach you anything truly new. Meanwhile JP occasionally skirts into mystical territory that risks sounding silly, but that's the voyage of the artist and will open an entirely new world. It's a temperamental difference and which style you like no doubt depends on your own.

    Is it possible that this man is getting smarter and smarter every single week? This is probably the best lecture from Dr. Peterson so far, because it brings all the puzzle pieces of his philosophy together. I am starting to be able to discuss with really educated people about the most difficult political and philosophical issues I had no clue about before. And I make them literally speechless.
    The problem is: Why does every single sentence of this man resonate so much with me? I mean he is challenging my mind beyond belief, but why is there no resistance to his words inside of me? Can this be dangerous? Anyone who feels the same or has a point to make about that?

    • @retardedEdd

      I agree completely. I simply think this guys gets it.... And because of youtube and the internet, we can start to get it too? I feel like this guy is so different from everything else i have thought but also somehow in ways i have thought all along so much that I'm less scared that there is so little resistance...

    • @Khabezette
      @Khabezette 7 років тому +110

      Yes, it can be dangerous, and be wary of that. I feel much the same way as you, it has been about 4 months since I found Dr. Peterson's lectures and for most of that time I was pretty much flabbergasted, and I have learned so much to the point it has radically changed my life. But do not lose yourself in him completely, and don't shy away from disagreeing with him on certain subjects. I personally feel like Jordan is being influenced negatively by a certain part of his new found audience, and I have observed changes in his stances and behavior as a result of it. And who can blame him? Even someone as well-balanced as him will have some difficulty becoming so radically resonating with so many people in such a short time period. It's not easy. Anyway, my point is that you must keep using your critical eye, even towards someone as intellectually intimidating and enlightening as Dr. Peterson. Nobody is perfect, and nobody has it all figured out.

    • @Werner140875
      @Werner140875 7 років тому +51

      Yeah, that is true. I have noticed so many comments from people, who are beginning to worship Dr. Peterson, starting to create "Team Peterson" (against Team Sam Harris for example), starting a Peterson tribe, want him in politics ("Peterson for president")and beginning to form a cult around him with their hero as priest. I dont want any of that. I dont want him to become a superstar, a politician or a cult leader. This man is a precious gift for our strongly irritated modern times and his mind and soul must not become corrupted by the seduction of power. But I am pretty sure he is well aware of that danger, because he speaks openly and honestly about his personal flaws and according to his theory this will protect him from becoming corrupt. Unless these are not just words...
      What kind of changes in his stance and behaviour have you already noticed? That is interesting, because I didn´t.

    • @Khabezette
      @Khabezette 7 років тому +38

      Well, I don't know what your political affiliation is, so what I'm about to say may rub you the wrong way, and it will certainly piss off a good percentage of the people reading this. But it's no secret that a lot of these so called alt-righters have flocked to Dr. Peterson and are attracted to his message, presumably for his strong denunciations of SJW's, PC culture and the radical left. I think it's great that these people, whom I strongly disagree with on pretty much everything, are listening to Peterson, but I do believe they are listening to him for the wrong reasons.
      I also feel, and I acknowledge I may be completely wrong here, that this far-right fanbase has influenced Peterson's views in the sense that he is increasingly incapable of differentiating between left/liberal, and the radical left, basically bundling them all together. I frequently see comments of people saying that they were once liberals but have become conservative after watching Peterson's lectures, and that is just bizarre to me. Unless you are a radical ideologue, regardless of what side of the political spectrum you are on (and I would say that the alt-right is definitely radical) Peterson has said nothing that should make you give up your previous political beliefs on a whimper, just like that. Hes not arguing against liberalism or moderate leftism; hes arguing against what happens when such ideologies become all-consuming.
      But I do think that the backlash and harassment he has received from such types over the last few months has jaded him to the point were the left as a whole is denounced, and I don't think that benefits anyone. Again, that has been my observation, and I may as well be wrong.

    This is what iv been searching for for years. Iv been so lost, I used to have a strong identity, raised as a Christian, I never doubted myself or anything I was taught, I never betrayed myself or my beliefs, I had naive confidence, strong back bone, determination, a mission. My ideology was ripped apart when I was 22, I slowly fell into chaos. Became overwhelmed with guilt over the mistakes I made in life as well as felt purposeless, confused, depressed, scared. I im 25 now, I've been obsessively learning philosophy as well as listening to many speakers, Jordan Peterson included. This lecture series has blown me away, I wish I found it sooner. I still feel very lost but on track I suppose. I still have not been able to regain my drive, momentum, confidence and belief in myself. My mind is so scrambled some days, iv been unlearning and learning alot, I don't have structure nor discipline. Thinking about joining a jiu-jitsu gym for that.

    I honestly just think you point out the obvious profundity of the human experience and landscape and it clicks well with so many people because so much of it is obviously true.

      Ghost in a Jar: I've had similar thoughts about not wanting to place myself in a Jordan Peterson echo chamber. So sometime what I'll do is read a book or listen to another lecturer whose views have at least some differences with Peterson's, and another thing that I try the best I can to do, is to become aware of the moments when I react negatively to something that Peterson said and NOT repress those feelings, but rather be mindful of them so that I can find area's of disagreement. But yeah, it's hard not to idolize Peterson. The man speaks a language that feels so right, true, just, and valuable.

Thank you for piecing this together, but more over, sharing it with all of us. So that we can know what these stories have been trying so hard to tell us.

      Yes, but this dynamic is also illustrated in one of the archetypes: the fool in the tarot deck.
      Sometimes one must risk carelessly walking off the cliff in order to experience true freedom. It’s a trade off.

    Wow! Just so brilliant. 1:04:02 JBP explains about the Hindu Goddess kali and I being a Hindu by birth can say Man he got it so perfect. In our culture, we sacrifice animals to the goddess kali but I never knew why we do that. Maybe sacrificing animals isn't the optimal sacrifice but sacrificing our polluted self is the right kind of sacrifice and this idea obviously came from JBP. Hats off Dr. Peterson. You know more about Hinduism than 99.99% of us.

    I have been listening to Mr. Peterson for about a week straight now while I paint, he is a very deep thinker. I think he picked up the dying torch of Joseph Campbell and basically started a bonfire with it! So glad to have a positive role model in opposition to our current post modern deconstructionist obsessed society. Thank you so much for posting these.

    I have found a very interesting convergence of this lecture with - of all things - an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation called "Darmok". The crew encounters a culture whose sole mode of communication consists of naming the archetype relevant for a given situation. Unfortunately, these archetypes are not known to the crew, so they cannot communicate with the aliens. The Unknown is so unknown that Picard has no cognitive tools to even try to unpack it. But the alien captain kidnaps - in a way - Picard down to a planet, where they have to live through an archetypical situation, grappling together with a beast. They are forced to develop modes of communications which they can name - each in their own way. This shared experience becomes the core of their mutual understanding. The archetypes are such core for all of us, sometimes not articulated but somehow common and somehow accessible for all. Obtaining that understanding, that sort of emotional cohesion is - as the film suggest - even worthy of ultimate sacrifice.

So many things fire off in my mind when listening to him. Old Joe Campell was merely a primer. His talks are helping me to bear my sufferings with more gratitude than I had previously been. My already active dream life is become terribly imtense as of late. I'm wondering if it isn't a response to these lectures. Anyways, tanks a bunch, Dr. Peterson!

I assume its bc i was the reason he got "stuck" with a life choice that would never leave. I felt the repercussions of that so much I blocked him from my life my care. I have the most selfish parents and it really does make a negative difference in a life. I have also walked the walk of raising 2 young men on my own since they were babies on 1 income as 1 person. Strong enough to have done this and continuing to do this. I am so glad I found your lectures. Thank You♥️

    Thank YOU Jordan Peterson!!! You simply sharing this knowledge has completely transformed my life… started absorbing this information back in 2017 when i was working 3 jobs; a butcher , a chef & a server at three different places. Was completely broke selling cocaine & other substances to feed my habits of BEiNG hell bent on self destruction… for starters i was lying to myself & my intimate partner on the daily… scheming & co-creating iNFiNiTE headed hydras with almost every interaction & relationship. Started to “enter the dragons” & stop lying to myself & others… then i slowly let go of my drug addictions including my self loathing. Worked on cleaning up my living spaces, moved to a different state & created a daily routine. I’m almost 27; For the last four years having a daily practice to help ground myself & focused on gratitude instead of PAiN. Thank you Dr. Jordan Peterson, words cannot describe my appreciation & limitless LOVE for you & everyone YOU love & have helped establish a iNTEGRAL consciousness. 🌬♾🕸💗🌊🛸🌊🌔✨☀️❤️‍🔥
