2017 Maps of Meaning 08: Neuropsychology of Symbolic Representation

In this lecture, I discuss the relationship between the basic categories of imagistic/symbolic representation and brain function, noting that the very hemispheres of the brain are adapted, right/left to the environmental or experiential permanence of chaos/order or unexplored/explored territory, with consciousness serving the Logos role of communicative explorer (a function related in one of its deepest manifestations to the function of the hypothalamically grounded dopaminergic systems).

"Educators can be father figures." indeed Dr. Peterson, indeed.

[@Jacob-fd9nm]

What's the opposite of an oedipal complex? I get the greasy feeling that too many of JPs listeners just want Jordan to wipe cheetos crumbs off of them, touch it to their lips and and ask "how many fingers son"? Lol kill the Buddha and set out on your own. You don't want to turn a lecturer you have zero two-way interaction with into a strange father figure. Learn and move on.

[@beraulgd3662]

@@Jacob-fd9nm I don’t think he means father figure (Talip SAKA, I mean) very specifically to its traditional meaning. Jordan Peterson always makes these sorts of weird “dreamy” connections between like chaos and the feminine, and although I have not heard his interpretation of it, I don’t believe that he genuinely considers the feminine to be exactly similar to chaos, whereas he has described chaos as like when you just don’t know and everything is out of your control. Maybe Talip SAKA sees him as a real father figure, idk, probably not, but instead Jordan Peterson is kind of like the internet common sense explained in uncommon sense guy. Jordan Peterson is a very interesting person to listen to since much of what he says seems applicable to current thinking, politics, etc, and it’s just interesting, so in the same way, this person comes back to listen to Jordan Peterson for those reasons, I think the connection is similar to the educational process of a real father who so-to-speak teaches one the nitty-gritty. However, to extrapolate from that the idea that this person loves Jordan Peterson in a weird one-way relationship akin to fatherly-son love is just kinda weird... You speak very condescendingly with “big words” over an obviously shortly-thought our comment. Oh wait I’m doing that, oh well, the point still stands

Jordan B Peterson: having at least 10-15 Mic drop moments every lecture!

[@RSanchez111]

The idea towards the end of the video of the Democratization of Osiris (starting at 2:18:39) may be one of the most profound ideas Dr. Peterson has shared. I love how he explained that sovereignty started moving down the hierarchy throughout time, from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Greece to Christianity. I think the most important part may be from 2:20:48 to 2:21:06. Dr. Peterson explains just how ancient the ideas we attribute to the Enlightenment are, and shows why it would be dangerous to think our values are Enlightenment ideas or that our values can be rationalized. This strikes at the heart of every ideology today, and it shows an alternate solution to Nietszche's ubermen, that we need to reconnect to our ancient values. It is dangerous to attribute our values to the Enlightenment or to rationalism because it lends credibility to all sorts of dangerous ideologies we see on the rise today. This is why Dr. Peterson says Nietszche foresaw the rise of totalitarianism. The truth is that we have values that are not rationalized, and are ancient beyond what we can even imagine. If you watch many of Dr. Peterson's lectures, he makes the case that our values are grounded on a biological basis that we share with rats, and that can be extended back to behaviors we share with lobsters. The biological basis for our values go back hundreds of millions of years, much earlier than the time when we could rationalize our values or even be vaguely aware of them like the Mesopotamians and Ancient Egyptians were. Leaning too much on rationalism has completely disconnected us from our ancient values, values that we once lived out without thinking just by being social animals in a dominance hierarchy. It's amazing, it's so amazing. Now I see why Dr. Peterson thinks Panksepp's discovery of the play circuit in mice is worthy of a Nobel prize, because it opens the door into some of the deepest realities of our being. It's absolutely amazing.

[@olemew]

The end of the lecture was very captivating. However, when it comes to everybody being valuable and part of society with Christianity, even if that was Jesus message, you cannot say that was Europe's history during the middle age (I'm assuming he goes at least 1000 years ago to talk about foundations of Western civilization). Kings were the representation of God because their power came not from the rest of the population (aka democracy) but directly from God. It is not until much later that religion and state get separated, and even in some developing countries regular people did not feel like "citizens" or valuable pieces of society until 50 years ago, maybe less.

[@RSanchez111]

@@olemew I think the Catholic Church was complicit in that, and I think that's why Nietszche thought that Christianity's development of the ability to follow Truth ultimately lead to the death of God. Dostoyevsky had a very similar criticism which he articulated in his story The Grand Inquisitor. In that story, the grand inquisitor was willing to execute Christ Himself, even while the inquisitor was ostensibly an agent of Christ, and even after the inquisitor was convinced that he was really talking to the actual Christ. Nietzsche thought well of Christ Himself, but very heavily criticized the Church. Tolstoy also criticized the Russian Orthodox Church for hypocritically selectively rejecting some of Christ's teachings in his book "The Kingdom of Christ Is Within You", which proceeded from his earlier book "My Religion". Jordan Peterson himself talks about Christ all the time, but refuses to go to church, going so far as saying that the churches are full of lying pastors. The churches were so hypocritical with regards to the sovereignty of the individual that we had to separate Church and State and rededicate the state to the elevation of the sovereignty of the individual. But even then, the State often threatens the idea of the sovereignty of the individual. The Spirit of Truth humbled the Church, and it also humbles states that degenerate into tyranny.

[@abcd10566]

Excellent summary! As an Indian, I obviously compare this thesis with the foundational philosophy of the Eastern civilization. To be honest, I don't really know what that is. If I were to answer presently, perhaps it is the duality of 'karma' and 'dharma', or doing your duties, which is what Krishna advises Arjun to do in the Mahabharata when Arjun has doubts over killing his cousins. While one could argue that this is synonymous with the sovereignty of the individual, the duty of the individual may contrast with the duty towards your family or caste. I hope someone in India does as good a job to the Indian texts as Peterson does with the Western texts. That would be truly illuminating, at least to me.

[@ronaldlollis8895]

The paradoxical roles of, hopefully, a stable two parent relationship that does kind of, in a controlled or disciplined manner, to “be mean to the kid” by teaching and forcing methods of chores and goal oriented tasks that have either positive or negative consequences, all decisions have consequences, and maintaining the orderly structure of that relatively stable world as one grows is tantamount to the survival of western culture. The lack of fathers in so many situations, particularly in black and indigenous native Americans and inner city cultures is what is driving the chaos of today. Those perpetuating that chaos just to “get their way” are not going to respond well to the discipline consequences that are about to come. Not going to like it at all.

I cant wait to re-watch all of this, thank you Jordan Peterson!

[@Wubslin]

I feel smarter having just read the description! Can't wait to sit down and watch this.

[@fraktalnagodzilla4992]

This lecture is a nourishment for my Soul

[@nebachiv]

Brilliant. Re-listening 5th time in 5 years

[@nainglinaung9660]

I currently reading Sapiens and watching this. How lovely these facts interconnect each other

Thanks for your help

Such complex but understandable knowledge it’s as if you can’t break the loop of chaos and order no matter which side of the snake you go to this video should have 10 million views all of them should

[@The_Eternal_Now]

Its really something to hear someone explain the nature of you, and then you end up making direct correlations to your own life. Brilliant. 👏

[@birdsong879]

Jesus Christ!! I can not get enough of this amazing professor. Thanks share. 😍

[@sethbishop6890]

thank you so so much for these lectures. I also really like when you address us as your audience. I could watch this stuff many times before getting it all fully worked out

[@mglamarmd1]

I have multiple degrees, one doctorate, in divergent topics, and this guy makes me feel pathetically ignorant. So glad I stumbled upon your lectures. Thank you Dr. Peterson.

[@nathanackerson3522]

"There's something very real about abstractions" - That statement has a lot of power, very insightful.

[@achubbysquirrel4661]

It's amazing that the college lets him do this

[@dorksouls978]

That's the problrm with tenure. It's nigh on impossible to remove the cranks.

[@elireyna3387]

I can't believe this one has the fewest views of the 2017 MoM. This is where it really starts getting meaty

[@dlightningz6775]

I had to stop in the middle of this lecture to just comment on how absolutely fascinating this train of ideas is. The man is a literal walking fruit of wisdom and perception. The universe desperately needs more of these thought trajectories.

[@kaybee7117]

2:15:00, Its you Dr. Yu are the father figure, who trusts the one who are lost. You act virtuously and it inspires us to move forward

[@cm5016]

I always try to fall asleep to him and end up staying up 4 hours more than I should

[@critterlex3872]

I would have enjoyed school if I'd had teachers like JBP, instead of teachers who gave me detentions for questioning them (such as my first grade teacher who gave me a "detention" because I told her a spider was not an insect). THIS is teaching.

[@amandajtycer2887]

I can't stop watching these videos. Thank you for all your hard work Doctor JP.

[@L1L0]

It's amazing to see a class by this amazing professor!

[@huntermasters1818]

His lectures feel like a therapy session

[@0bscura.0]

Thanks so much, Mr. Peterson. Your videos have helped so many, including myself. You've put a lot in perspective for me, and I even found your video about agoraphobia. The world really needs you. Thanks so much.

[@tarekalmaghrabi]

Had two wisdom teeth pulled out 10 years ago... my tongue is still mapping as I watch this lecture. What sorcery is this?

[@malpais776]

This is one dense talk! Dominance hierarchies, Kantian qualifications, Exodus, order/disorder, delegating judicial responsibilities, common law emergence, desert wasteland idolatry, paradoxes of oppositions, perceptual paradoxes, unintentional economic consequences, snakes, sibling power struggles, predator/prey, category of whatever is beyond category, unexhausted potential. Holy Moses! It's a wild quantum jitterbug! I didn't get past the 1st hour. You painted some pretty broad strokes with the order/disorder characterizations. I will have to re-read Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. I'm not sure you have the sequencing correct. As odious as this may seem to some I think something has be left out. It's out of the box. But thanks for publishing this. I am sure your Bible lectures will, if not open some people's eyes, make them reconsider long held beliefs.

[@kevins1286]

First : of all, this is the first time I go to school deliberatlety... Second : I'm not even at school... Third : I will never get a bad grade .... So, I think I can call that a really believable notion of approximative perfection :)

This has got to be my favorite use of stories to evoke a relation as a result of the intertwining between divinity and humanity

I despise KZbin for not allowing me to like this more than once.

[@jmanderson84]

His hand gestures are magical.

[@anialiandr]

Missing you Jordan. Your thinking makes so much sense !! since you had been sick I ve listen to many others and returned to you and your well structured speech and thought. Come back to us :)

[@IVIicro]

This has been the most profound video of jordans teachings for me. the "ahah" moments he described as a human finally being able to represent their behavior is groundbreaking.

[@supimchris]

58:51 reminds me of the following remark from Philosophical Investigations: "It can be seen that there is a misunderstanding here from the mere fact that in the course of our argument we give one interpretation after another; as if each one contented us at least for a moment, until we thought of yet another standing behind it. What this shews is that there is a way of grasping a rule which is not an interpretation, but which is exhibited in what we call “obeying the rule” and “going against it” in actual cases."

[@A2Z1Two3]

It helps with this addiction of content , time wise, if you are retired, but it also eats you up inside that you ARE retired, and therefore did not get a chance listen to this man whilst still working .

[@LightworkingWanderer]

It's Friday just before noon, and I've just finished packing up 293 pounds of books to ship to Amazon Warehouses, while simultaneously attending a lecture on the meaning of life... =D (Spent this whole week doing so. At least 60 hours of work/lectures, it's probably been the most productive week of my life.)
