[@AllieMoonSailor]

I was so worried about looking unintelligent or dumb that I didn’t do anything so I wouldn’t be found out. But it’s ok to try, look clueless, fail, learn and then try again. It’s the only way to gain intelligence or be good at something, people aren’t experts on the first try. That’s what I always believed that if I wasn’t good at something right away then I didn’t want to try for fear of looking dumb. I’m still working on being ok being clueless about something in front of people in school, but that’s what I’m there for is to learn something I don’t know. I’m still wrestling with it for sure. I’m judgmental about myself and others so I fear others judgment because I know I’m capable of it towards others. I’m learning to be more compassionate and nonjudgmental because it’s tiring and anxiety provoking being worried about every little detail about myself and others faults. I’m going to keep trying.

[@AllieMoonSailor]

And hopefully succeeding after the failing, learning and trying again.

[@joaitken123]

It is tiring thinking too much about the small things about yourself so stop 🛑 get up each day and practise not caring about the small stuff as everything takes daily practice not just getting educated. Changing how you think about yourself and others takes daily practice too so every day try and not compare with others it’s a waste of time and will make you miserable and shake off the negative thoughts when they come....superiority and inferiority does not exist. Be strong and stand tall an one day you’ll be bullet proof. Good luck mate♥️

[@keegster7167]

+Jordan Edwards Not in statistics. You can only say that it had no significant difference. That's what you'd be measuring with all the different factors that Jordan goes through (since he's one data point).

[@photoallergic]

0 is measurable and, if the value represents a difference (or "distance in a metric space" if you're uptight), indicates that no measurable effect has been found in an experiment. Peterson said "... has improved by an immeasurable amount", and that would be exactly 0, I got a good chuckle from that. So both perspectives are okay in my book - literally (ha!), it's in my lecture notes which have been published as a book - *but* you have to get your context right.

My mother had a friend who was one of the most amazing human beings that I've ever known. She has an IQ of 85. She's barely literate. She writes and spells about the same as your average fourth grader. But she's the most conscientious people I've ever met in my life. She has a work ethic like no one else. It took a little more care to teach her a job, but once she had it down, she worked like a machine. (She's retired now) Her house is orderly and immaculate. She worked lots of jobs and she quickly became the MVP. She had a job at at gas station for awhile and the shelves were perfectly stocked, the bathrooms were immaculate, and the windows practically sparkled after her shift was done. She never stopped, never took a break. She just moved through the checklist then continued to clean after that was done. She was a faithful wife and a loving mom. A wonderful, loyal friend. She's in her 70's now and a widow and I'd say that she's had a very successful life. One of her grandsons moved to China to teach English and she has faithfully sent him a letter, a small gift, and a bit of money every week. He's been there for over a decade and she hasn't missed a week. He adores her above all others and looks forward to her little notes and presents. I've known some brilliant people who've led ruinous, short lives. She's made me reassess the definition of the word 'success.' We're all told to reach for the brass ring, but what's wrong with a nice, steady life with lots of dedicated love? Why isn't that enough for most of us? We don't pay attention to the little, daily things. We neglect our lives in so many ways. We're so focused on this grand picture and we're missing the daily joys that good order brings. I'm as guilty as the next person. But I think of her from time to time and that reminds me to bring some order and balance into my life. There's nothing wrong with focusing on pushing back the chaos.

Excellent explanation of how seeing differently with regards to artistic rendering is applied. One of the largest hurdles to getting people to learn to draw is having them let go of their abstractions of the object and instead looking directly at the object and drawing what is there.

I know that from personal experience. Im an emotionally volitile, low status, high IQ, creative male with not enough conciousness to make something of myself career wise and a big part of me doesnt care about social status. Ive been lucky to get early with crypto but I have zero interest to flaunt any of that in my personal life and havent told anyone. Being in the crypto space for this long has made me realize just how some aspects of psychology works on a personal level because its a wild ride beyond belief. If you cant control fear and greed you will get swallowed up and spit out. Over time it has gotten better but its still a huge strain emotionally and I wonder many times if its worth it. Ive made so many costly mistakes that thinking about just how much money Ive lost from making emotional decisions could drive a person mad. I try not to.

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

I learn't nothing until i passed beyond those school gates for the last time. I was definitely one of Jordan Peterson's "day-dreaming" creatives...so he's bang on the money in that area. The school year pupils before me left(mostly with a job), without qualifications. The year i left(1 year later..with qualifications...one or two in Maths and English) everybody i knew walked pretty much straight into an unemployment queue. Was it a disadvantage? Sure and massively to begin with, eventually. As we had ZERO money... but we had something of way more value for the long term...TIME TO THINK...and observe...total freedom. I went on to run two businesses. There were no Business Studies offered to me at school. I joined a small eye-opener of a Business course at 20(and the right inspirational tutor)..and ran my first business at 21 in Mobile Catering...what a grounding. Learning things parrot-fashion only works for one section of children. The rest were totally abandoned in my day and for the record, the abandoned ones were drawn naturally to business..mainly because they couldn't get jobs due to not being able to produce qualifications, due to not being able to pass "parrot-fashion" exams....oh, the irony. Come to think about it, when i went to some grotty school re-union about twenty years after we left, it became very noticeable that the Business runners ended up drifting together in that hall by the end of the evening. The rest, mainly seemed really bored or boring to be around. Most told me they were in jobs the hated....again, irony, they were mostly the "parrot-fashion successes". It sure was interesting. To add to the evening, the former head boy, who had ended up with the head girl(two of the most qualified to leave school) seemed utterly bored with each other. They came over as if they'd never really left school...mmmmm.

Thank you for giving access to your lectures. Access to information via the Internet changed my life and your lectures have helped me in abundance. One thing about IQ tests I feel might be negative (if you want to look at it that way), is that there are many people in the world without access to information; moreover many people aren't even taught how to effectively evaluate information to grow their understanding capabilities. I grew up in a situation where I faced this adversity and had to teach myself pretty much most of the fundamental things I needed to know to live a meaningful life and to rid myself of inherited pathology. It's an adversity I still face, however I feel lucky I have the means to face it. I don't think that makes me exceptional in any way from anyone else; simply that I am fortunate to have the means to do so. The question I would therefore ask is: is IQ basically just differentiating people with access to information and the knowledge of how to properly evaluate that information, from the people who do not? If so, doesn't it largely highlight the gap of wealth disparity since poverty contributes towards lack of opportunity in general but specifically in this case lack of opportunity to be educated by high quality intellectuals? How do we determine what differentiates a person with really good understanding from a person with poor understanding? In other words, isn't every individual capable of pretty much the same things through specific nurture? If equal opportunity truly existed, then wouldn't peoples IQ have very little variation?

Dr. Peterson is increasingly reminding me of a Rick Sanchez that has overcome his nihilism.

[@josephstevens5489]

Meh. Too easy to imagine and I don't like it

[@thabisothabethe8780]

Actually...

[@raghavtalwar9899]

Thabiso Thabethe well, shit son... go ahead and flip that on its head. I’ll do it for you: “Rick Sanchez reminds me of a Jordan Peterson who has been overcome by nihilism” Makes perfect sense once you think Rick is old, staring certain death at some time in the near future, and he doesn’t have the best family in the world. Where’s that Vodka...

Mr. Peterson, Thank you again for your support, i say always that “all our life we are learning”, the person that said that he know everything, he really stupid. I Always wanted to hear what other people saying, to make my decision.

I love you!!! great intro!!!!

[@karlroger6481]

Dr. Peterson gets my vote. I've listened to all his posted videos. I love the way some people are so quick to judge when they hear something they don't like. I hate political correctness. And those few who genuinely speak their truths are always politically incorrect. Jesus was politically incorrect. So afraid are they of hurting people's feelings; I say let their feeling be hurt. If anything I say offends you, that means I have power and control of your emotions. Nobody controls my emotions. That doesn't mean I don't get angry when there is cause to be angry, but my anger is something YOU feel. A FORCE! About offences, Jesus said, "The offence is IN YOU! And since it is in you, I can pull it out of you if I want to; and, no, I don't even need a reason. Comedians do it all the time, and get paid for it. Comedians are Prophets with a humorous side. A Prophet, or Poet, simply calls it as he sees it, and people either laugh or cry or get angry. Madison Avenue does it every second of the day. The politicians pull it out of you to divide you from your fellow Homo Sapiens. Homo Sapiens are not Human Beings. Homo Sapiens are simply a field of possibilities, one of which is to grow into Conscious Human Beings of Light, which is a word for Consciousness. "You are the light of the world." Forget the words I use. What's the old saying? It's not what you say, but how you say it? If I am writing from a Conscious Source, then this writing would be what the Forth Way calls a 'B' Influence. 'A' Influences are the influences of ordinary every day life. When you meet a Conscious Being, you will not know that he or she is one. But you cannot refute them. When you are in the presence of a Conscious Being, he or she brings you up their level in the Moment connects with you soul to soul: that's Intimacy in it's deepest meaning. Don't take it too literally. "Wide is the gate and broad is the way to that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat." And they go as failed experiments in Conscious Evolution. "Many are called, few are chosen." Creation and Evolution are two side of the same coin. Only one sperm in millions, or is it billions, gets to fertilized the egg. New experiment under way.

Has Peterson also ruined anyone else’s view of teachers? Because now I compare every lecture to his and there is no comparing a Peterson lecture ❤️😂

I love you stop listen to you and flow it out 🤟🏼🥂

0:10 jeez... tough crowd JP IS YOUR PROFESSOR GOD LIGHTEN UP

[@juanbjuan9862]

thanks! interesting lecture

[@budmckinney6824]

I am at his lecture and have no brick and he asks me how many uses I could think of for a brick. I should have a brick if I need one and since I don't have one I do not need one. No use at the moment for a brick. Should I ever be honored to meet Mr. Peterson I pray I know in advance so I can have a brick handy to hand him. When he asks why I gave him a brick. I will say because you have many uses for the brick and I knew of your need. Blessings, respect, and love to all without prejudice.

Hiring practices are very trivial between incompetent HR staff and test methods who don't really work as they should, but that's why there's the trial period when you get hired so your performances can get evaluated and see changes have to be made.

A Brick - Overpriced Post-Modern Art

[@robnewsome9086]

I'm disabled, been in a wheelchair for since I was 16 and I'm 50 so physical exercise is limited for me. I think I'm fairly intelligent though and I exercises my brain often. Not as brilliant as this man, I wonder if these students realize how blessed they are, I know I'm blessed to be able to watch his videos

[@danielfinch362]

If you weren't above average you wouldn't be here. Well that's my theory anyway.

[@MakZkovich]

@@danielfinch362 That theory would propose that there is a correlation between intrest and intelligence and I am not sure wether that's the case.

[@Concojone5]

@@MakZkovich There is. Dr. Peterson says says: interest = openness and correlates with IQ.

[@MakZkovich]

@@Concojone5 Didn't consider that, as I said, not sure if that's the case but apparently it is. Thanks for the correction.

[@Concojone5]

@@MakZkovich You made a great point though. The reason I reacted was that I had just watched another video by Jordan Peterson on openness where he made comments to that extent.

[@justindemoret9481]

i genuinely thought of using the brick as a basis for toothpaste if you ground it down and used the grounding it down to make a sundial. thank you Les Stroud.
