[@lucasvalmotta]

Summary: 1- Freud was the first person to say a lot of things that we take for granted today 2- Mental disorders have a sociological element The culture battles against the individual (superego x id) and the battle between the individual and the culture is going to take forms that differentiate between cultures (brief comment: the cultures are different so they have a different impact on people; and people are different as well, so each person is going to have a unique battle) 3 - Sex; sexual diseases; birth control pill 10:00 4 - Book suggestion: The discovery of the unconscious (Jordan says it is the best introduction to the psychoanalitic thought) 5 - People lived on about a dollar a day at 19th century 6 - Freud was very influenced by Nietzche 7 - We take a lot of things for granted nowadays, like: People don’t always say what they mean. Their speech and their actions are influenced by factors that they are not necessarely conscious of. Passions, dreams and mental illnesses are manifestations of the unconscious 8 - Freud’s ideas were rapidly integrated into the culture (in despite of the resistance that really existed and exists) That is why people talk so much about his erros. Everything that he was right about was integrated into the culture and is now taken for granted, so the only things left “about him” are his erros 9 - Sublimation 10 - Educated man will marry uneducated woman, but educated woman won’t marry uneducated man. Woman look for someone who is at least as competent as they are or even more competente 20:00 11 - The superego (Society) vs the id: jail analogy The more authoritarian the Society is, the bigger is the struggle between the individual (attempting to be an individual) and the culture (attempting to turn him into an absolutely predictable machine) Very related to number 2 12 - Freud viewed the primary conflict in mental life as the ego tortured by the id (biological forces), but also inhibited and repressed by the superego 13 - Piaget: The fundamental conflict within people isn’t necessarely social vs the individual. The fundamental conflict is between motivational systems and then between their expression across time within the individual and then between their expression across time within the individual in relationship to all other individuals and to society (So it is more like a complex problem that could be solved by a civilized game than a massive force, that being superego, crushing the individual into submission) 14 - Neurotic people 15 - People on the bottom of dominance hierarchy are much more likely to consider the spirit of the structure as an authoritarian and repressive spirit, because it isn’t making room for you 16 - Industrial Revolution 17 - Superego x id and school system; ADHD; Jaak Panksepp and rats 18 - Hypothesis test and hypothesis generation 30:00 19 - Freud’s hypothesis generation 20 - Behaviorism and ethology; Skinner; Frans de Waal 21 - You have twice as many female ancestors as you do male ancestors 22 - Freud, Jung and other clinicians are basically ethologists. They are studying human beings at their relatively natural environment and trying to figure out how they work 23 - Clinical practice vs lab work 40:00 24 - Reason, emotion and motivation 25 - After Freud we understood that we are not driven mostly by rationality. This is a BIG discovery. “Little rational guy” analogy (43:10) 26 - The rational intelect is not the fundamental element of people’s being 27 - Darwin 50:00 28 - Terror management theory 29 - Free association The importance of talking (52:30) 30 - Explainning a movie to a friend 31 - Fighting with someone you love 32 - Epigenetics 1:00:00 33 - We can represent ideas in symbolic forms 34 - Dreams 35 - The unconscious; when someone is mad 36 - People who don’t end bad relationships 37 - Ego vs id and the “I wish I didn’t say that when I was angry” 38 - Voluntarily inaccessible memories and the unconscious 1:10:00 39 - Unconscious and new ideas (brainstorm) 40 - Unconscious and myths; Jung

This is the absolute best lecture on basic Freud I have ever watched and I am a psychoanalyst.

[@brucetharp7610]

@James Dean: As you may know, psychoanalysis has been heavily marginalized in today's mental health system. For this reason, I am always curious how the profession is presented in undergraduate psychology courses or within the university system altogether. Traditionally, psychoanalysis has been taught in free-standing institutes that are ideally accredited by the IPA. It is obvious to me the Dr. Peterson has surfed through the 24 volume Standard-Edition of Freud's works as well as a number of other psychoanalytic authors and theories. I personally consider Dr. Peterson to qualify as an intellectual-historian. His extemporaneous and spontaneous style of presenting is very telling. He is extremely well read.

[@gonzothegreat1317]

Freud was a fraud. Psychoanalysis is pseudoscience at best.

You will need to realize this infinitely bad side of the human experience Evil. We are not able to control it because it has been influencing us since the beginning of our "Awakening" into the awareness of Evil. That force has taken over the single entity of 'Death' and it never sleeps. It knows our entire existence from our first experience of Evil and understands our psychological needs and desires while pushing/pulling us to the void. It will NEVER EVER LET THE HYPER INTELLIGENT/OBSERVANT TEACH US TO THE LEVELS THAT JP PRESENTS!

[@pcdriver]

I've followed Prof. Peterson for 4+ years now but was directed recently to later episodes in this academic series, I guess, because KZbin recognized I was a devotee of Russian literature so, after watching those, I began at the beginning. In this segment I feel that he really inhabits the material. He is discussing Freud extemporaneously, following his notes, in a fashion that truly expresses what his mind knows. It's primal and pure.

[@th3giv3r]

For anybody who couldn't hear/make out what Freud dictates in the recording at the beginning: "I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges, and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, psychoanalysis, a part of psychology, and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavory. Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I succeeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psychoanalytic Association. But the struggle is not yet over."

[@nutflush5]

[@nefwaenre]

This was incredibly self reflectional. Since the Piaget lecture, i've been constantly self reflecting thanks to Professor. But this directly speaks to mental illness and as someone who has to take heavy anti psychotics due to suicidal tendencies, all i ACTUALLY want is someone to talk to. Someone who would listen and the problems would then go away.

[@aresp2707]

You would also be correct. I believe that pills can sometimes help people, by "masking" what is "actually" going on inside of them. But by no means, could that ever fix them. When I started listening to Dr. Peterson, I also found out about Dr. Jung. Listening to things from Dr. Jung just made sense to me. I think that so much from him was swept under the rug. Because he didn't fit the "pill model" that is pushed upon everyone today. Dr. Jung was once considered to have went crazy, but he also fixed himself. And was also able to do the same for his patients. By listening to them, and then helping them to make sense of what was going on inside of them. From what I understand, and relate to about him... He was truly an amazing person and blessing to the field of psychology. His personality type, as far as I'm concerned. Was also specifically designed for psychoanalysis. I share that same type, and have been naturally drawn to studying people's thinking, behavior, and their well being... Ever since I was a small child or knew that psychology even existed. That personality type is not called "The Counselor" for nothing. I'm not saying that everyone with this type is guaranteed to be good at it, or that other types couldn't be. But I do believe that people with certain personality types are better suited and probably prefer certain fields over others, based on their type.

[@nefwaenre]

@@aresp2707 Firstly, thank you so much for taking your time to write such a detailed reply. Was not expecting this at all. :) Ah so that is the counsellor personality? You have an amazing gift, as this means you 'listen' to people and listen well, and truth be told, that's mostly what we (atleast i) want desperately. Pills may help during anxiety attack or extreme distress situations, but really, life has come to such a point, no medicine would work. i listen to professor every night (i get a little over 1 and half hr at night to eat and everything) and reflect on my thoughts, how i faced the day, etc and it helps me tremendously. Sometimes i write them in a comment or write on an online journal to help. i don't think i can grasp Jung without Professor Peterson, but i will give it a look, thank you.

One of my favorites of his lectures. The idea that we can be precisely scientific and objective with what's going on in people's heads seems a bit far fetched, so the best you're going to get is a tool to help you chisel at the edges, and that's what Freud and Jung offered. Both of them had ideas that still apply today.

Even if you look up the original it's hard to understand his voice (he had mouth cancer at the time): "I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important and new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, Psycho-Analysis, a part of psychology and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck.

So thankful to have found this lecture on Freud. Throughout my entire undergraduate degree, all of my professors basically laughed at Psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic theory without genuinely articulating why. There seems to be a backlash to Freud's case studies methods, particularly on upper-middle-class white people, as they are not a representative sample of the general population. Ironically, the large majority of contemporary psychological theory is based on white psychology students and thus is also not representative of the population at large. I really can't understand this hatred for Freud and this overt bias toward CBT, despite the shallow theraptuic approach invloved in CBT.

[@ParadoxCircuit]

You know Peterson talks a lot about how humans find it really useful to just throw themselves at a problem and in the process of dealing with it they improve as a person generally, and I feel like it's really cool to be able to see how that has played out to a large extent in his time in the public spot light. You can in this video that he is a lot less refined than he has become. Not to say that his style in this is "bad," and the topics are still very much interesting, but it is cool to see how has become such an intellectual/explanatory power house in the time that he has been actively engaged in public discourse to the extent that he has since the whole pronouns thing. There is a sort of clarity conviction in the way he presents now that adds to the impact of his explanations really powerfully. I definitely wouldn't wanna try to debate something with the guy thats for sure. Or at least with the intent to win haha.

Watching in 2023. What a treat for those students to receive a lecture of this quality. Dr Peterson's ability to deliver it all without notes apparently. Regarding the women who studied primates, I imagine it was an advantage when trying get closer to the chimps/gorillas, the dominant male would not be so aggressive presumably. Diane Fosse met a tragic end of course. At one time I had a recurring dream in which a vast tsunami was coming up towards me, but with no soundtrack. I'd either wake up before the wave broke, or the dream would fast forward to me floating on a calm sea in bright sunshine. Oddly enough, such dreams ceased after the 26.12.2004 Asian tsunami, but that's probably just a coincidence. Another recurring dream featured me pulling endless rope-like chewing gum out of my mouth, which I took as meaning a thwarted desire for communication. Luckily I don't get this dream any more and indeed seem to dream less now, or at least I don't remember them. Dreams fascinate me, and I'd quite like to paint some of the ones I've had over the years.

Mr Peterson, my name is Taymour Janekeh. Thank you for this video. You've had a big influence on me, and your videos, alongside the works of Nietszche, Freud and Jung are currently influencing my next animated fantasy epic cartoon.

[@eahannan]

And did you make the cartoon yet?

[@EpicGeopolitics]

@@eahannan Not yet! I have other projects i've had to prioritise!

[@eahannan]

@@EpicGeopolitics Good luck with all your projects. This was a great talk !

[@EpicGeopolitics]

@@eahannan Thanks, you too

[@The_Bookshelf_Life]

Thank you for sharing your lectures with the world.

Dr. Peterson, I pose the following question for your psychoanalysis and explanation: On the surface, does it not appear that throughout history, particularly in the last 200+ years, the universe-or perhaps evolution-seems to have attempted to suppress human sexuality through the emergence of numerous venereal diseases? My own intellectual capacity doesn't allow me to conceptualize this as eloquently as you might.

Around 30:23 he talks about hypothesis creation and how its not really talked about. I think to get into that you should look into James Clerk Maxwell. He was between Newton and Einstein and just as indispensable. I remember seeing on youtube that Maxwell differed from other scientists in that he thought a lot about the hypothesis process. He also for one problem created an elaborate theoretical model with swirling vortices even though that is not what was actually going on in reality. This model made it so you could see something where all the mathematical descriptions of experimental discoveries could be viewed and make sense. I think we should look Freud's models of the mind in the same way. And I have a book about Freud around somewhere by a woman who I think was a reporter with no background in psychology before working on the book. She starts off saying we should read Freud's writings and analyze and interpret them the same way we analyze the sayings of his patients. I think this is absolute enlightenment. Its kind of funny because when you see Freud is in denial and needing interpretation and "flawed" like this you can find the absolute god like genius in him if that's what you like. Actually I have the idea that the one thing that sets him apart is more than just the genius. Every other guy would have succumbed to the temptations and lost his way. Maybe they would have behaved appropriately with their female patients with all the sexual energy fueling their revelations, but they would all succumb mentally. I think Freud had to be like a saint.

[@jtcruz125]

Losif Crumb how do you mean they would succumb mentally? As in they would try and bang their patients?

[@vflex1]

Question: What's the name of the movie he was refering to about freudian theory that the students were supposed to watch later in the week?

[@thegoldentroll]

I have the same question...

[@KNOCK_knock_Lahey]

I want to know as well

[@mahnoormatloob7936]

I think it’s crumb

[@mahnoormatloob7936]

Since he has mentioned that in one of his other lectures as the best documentary on Freudian pathology.

[@sandarahcatmom9897]

I just discovered these lectures and they're fabulous. Such a distillation. Sadly KZbin has now enacted the policy of one part program and one part ad.

[@hamedmoradi5291]

That was an interesting lecture. I hope in the lectures about existentialism, you would point at Sartre's existential psychoanalysis in which there is a room for intentionality, choice and decision. From this point of view, emotions like anger don't stem from sub-personalities or drives, but they are purposeful and part of our choices and our way of dealing with the world.

[@stevebarber8501]

What a great lecturer. A true master at his craft.

[@johannespilvikukka6003]

I can't wait for the movie on Tuesday!

WHAT WAS THE MOVIE

[@Jen-lm8hb]

I had a dream that I was reaching my arm as far I could and Jordan's hand was clasping mine, as if pulling me out of or into something and towards him. In a lecture explaining Carl Jung's interpretation of dreams, Peterson said "Jung believed the dream is trying to express a reality that is outside of fully articulated conscious comprehension" or "the dream is telling you something you don't know." While I'm not sure I fully believe that, and his presence in my dream is probably a consequence of my interest in his lectures, it's entertaining and interesting to think about it (and other dreams) according to Jung's interpretation.

[@johnely5050]

I enjoyed this lecture immensely. Could someone please provide me with the name of the movie the professor is going to show his students.

[@RapmasterY]

i would like to know aswell! :)

It makes me sad enough to cry when i think about all of the damage done to me by being diagnosed with adhd and given ritalin since i was 6. 120-160mg daily for 12 years

[@vanesaflores1863]

That's understandable Quique, sorry to hear that you had to go through this. We must remember to keep moving forward and not wallow in the past though (as much as its satisfying, it's not helpful in the long-run). Rooting for you! :)

[@aresp2707]

Do you know what your personality type is? I'm just curious.

[@onniali3945]

But(and btw) I can't hear a dang thing from the audio you played from Freud).

[@janskeet1382]

Her you are: I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges, and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, psychoanalysis, a part of psychology, and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavory. Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I succeeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psychoanalytic Association. But the struggle is not yet over.

[@vancouverterry9142]

@@janskeet1382 Thank you!

[@jonathangonzalez1719]

DR . Peterson how do you let things go? You answer will be a lot of help and get my life together with a meaningful aim that I have thank you I appreciate for you work thank you sir

Thank you Jordan for your lectures. They are life changing.

[@BanonOmus]

I fell asleep listening to this last night and had crazy weird philosophically questioning dreams last night. Opened the video this afternoon to try to pickup where i left off... skipped to the middle of the video and the first thing i heard was Jordan passionately explaining “THE RATS ARENT THAT INTERESTED IN COCAINE!”..... I lol’d

[@SimonSchatten]

An outstanding lecture

[@junelledembroski9183]

I want to buy his books just to support him. I used to be able to understand what he was saying and now my brain only grabs one subject out of everything he says and translates it into my brain language which is mostly videos.

I've always skipped passed you for Joe Budden, but today, I watch.

[@fklwiseman]

He's actually just such a nice guy who is devoted to his students.

[@janjoson3843]

Tha you Prof. Peterson. Its all coming back from Psych 101. I think much much better now.

[@HelloThere.....]

26:00 Ritalin is NOT an amphetamine, it is methylphenidate. It is a substituted phenylethylamine, and so is amphetamine, but it's generalized up a level in classification and amphetamines are more specific.

[@Enth3os]

Listening to Alan Watts brought Mr here. Great lecture Mr. Peterson

[@nikkinikki9029]

hey what movie was he referring to? thanks 😄

I-m wondering the same. I quess I'll keep scrolling and hopefully someone has mentioned it...
