I feel that JP used to laugh and have so much more of a good time before all the debates and name calling ripped at him. He certainly holds his own, but I love seeing these earlier videos of him in his happy place helping all these people learn something. I hope he is doing well!!

[@TurningTesting]

Cupcakes Aside thank you. I watched this a few weeks ago.

I need to watch these videos several times to remember the material.

KROOL I’m right there with you!! Wish I was better at digesting the material

You guys are at the bottom end of the hierarchy remembering structure.....jk

Right there with you... I learn more every time tho!

[@markc3210]

That's not surprising. If you were a student in the class, you'd be doing a lot of related reading too.

[@curtisjackson5793]

if you really want to remember the material, you gotta write down, or at least take notes

I STILL can’t imagine who the heck dislikes JBP’s videos. Jeez. They’re amazing.

People who can't separate his views on certain ideological views and his actual technical lessons.

@@jensonphan Or people who just think he is wrong.

[@BinnyBongBaron_AoE]

In this time in which Jordan Peterson has been unwell (and I'm glad to see that he's getting better), these old video's have been a great comfort. I hope you're back on your feet soon, man. We miss you.

[@brantleyjones]

This is a great period for peterson, cinematography wise. The camera operator is panning to and fro with his arm movements with a kinetic, Paul Thomas Andersonesque vitality.

[@bradagee9041]

Lol. 'Who let the kid from the film class into the psych lecture? Oh yeah, theyre the ones with all the damned A/V equipment. Sigh. Okay, Tarantino, just point and shoot. Got it?'

[@dannyjquinn880]

So many people call our JBPs worldview as being shallow and these lectures prove just how deep the theory behind everything he preaches is

[@mistermuskie]

Professor Peterson is mah jam!

jordan peterson has justified my youtube addiction! I can finally say yourube is no longer wasting my precious time! Thank you good sir! You are a gift to all who were looking for something but didnt know what!!!

[@wasumyon6147]

Seems like a lot of the new viewers aren't bothering watching this far back.

[@shaggyalonso]

I actually way prefer this stuff to all the self-help stuff. It's far more interesting generally.

[@toprightchannel3080]

I'd veered off into a different direction over the past week which made this video appealing whereas beforehand a more biologically focused title wouldn't have enticed me. And yes I see what you mean, the self-help stuff is useful for improving discipline but it can lack depth.

[@earthwormjim9229]

That's their own personal choice...please, politely, do not judge...

[@MrGflan]

I love watching these. I had a geology professor who was an awesome teacher. I got a lot of enjoyment just watching him get engaged with what he was talking about. He used to close his eyes and feel the rock and get really into it. Lol I think a part of us gets joy from learning. Some more than others of course but we are so lucky these days to watch this for free. Mind blowing.

[@sentienttrash2179]

Still amazed that only 60k people have watched this. This is one of the more quality and information rich in biology video of his. Much love to Peterson for making these available for us. 🙏

[@demolicty1132]

It sucks that few people find this content as interesting as it actually is.

[@SlothinGames]

Not a comment on the actual content of the video here, the way he explains the pieces on the reading list individually (first 5-10 minutes or so) is nice to hear personally; hearing him talk about what he knows about the authors and what he likes about them (e.g. Swanson and Gray) that is. I'd have a hard time explaining why but hearing a lecturer talk about the history of the fields that can be found in those pieces, the path from that point in history to the present, and hearing what fascinated and inspired them about reading those specific pieces as well as the author's overall contributions; it's the kind of listening experience that would in turn excite me to explore through those papers. It's not the kind of experience always had with educators, and it's really something when it happens. It feels like the difference between looking at a reading list as something being prescribed to me to get the necessary information for a good grade, versus something encouraged because reading it to get the information is the act of going on a journey that's both fascinating and rewarding in itself. Tl;dr love the way JP talks about reading lists, might be high on life.

[@larsulle3842]

"motivations set goals..." That's actually pretty easy to grasp :) thank you Dr. Pete.." ".. It's actually more complicated than that!" Jordan plz..

[@chopperhead2012]

31:36 "you know, like, [the computer]'s not clear - it's not transparent" clearly the people who take your class aren't members of the glorious #PCMasterRace, Dr. Peterson

[@bazalbaz]

I gotta read this fan letter to Swanson

[@dangood8839]

With future generations, I hope that one of Petersons everlasting quotes will be: "Poof!"😂 Joking aside, very interesting.

[@MrMaximum91]

Fantastic lecture, lots of super interesting stuff packed in this one!

[@themach1ne635]

Thank you for the informative video! I deeply appreciate you taking the time to create them.

Hippocampus is the part of the brain that allows the fat lazy part of us to camp on the couch with complete disregard to the elephant in the room.

Absolutely love the videos... ❤Only wish we could hear the students responses as clearly as well...

Thank you Jordan. ❤️

To anyone interested in this particular topic of his lectures, there's another guy called Robert Sapolski. Quite great teacher too.

Interesting how modern computers are shifting towards showing bright and distracting colors and the machines that operate it.

I wonder if anyone's done any research on what percentage of the spectators at a sporting event notice a streaker before the authorities chasing them brings it to everyone's attention.

[@user-ut5vb2ov8o]

I believe the book by Francis crick is called life itself 52.28

[@darkodosen1025]

I just want to say that it is reasonable for people to assume that they are in their head. Every other part of the body can be hurt and you would still be you, even your heart. People get heart transplants these days. But if you get hit in the head you can become brain dead. Your body is alive, but you are gone. I don't see why I wouldn't consider myself inside my head / brain.

[@karyonemos]

53:30 - 54:10 Can someone identify what research (papers and researchers) he might have in mind?

Help pls 16:20 What counts as patters of connections in the brain ? Aren't those also made of subatomic particles? Then I dont understand how there could be even more connections than particles

[@ciaputter7462]

It think it would deal with how neurons connect, it’s isn’t like a straight road to another straight road. It’s a network, so you have multiplicities of connections from one neuron. I hate to say it but consider a fourth dimension.

25:00 Dr Peterson's peripheral vision is apparently good to about three times the angle away from where he's looking as mine is. The point where he says he can no longer see faces appears to be about the point where I can't see anything except large sudden motions of big things.
