An Unfiltered Conversation with Jordan Peterson

[@kaytlinflick]

I've been trying to take the rules for life more seriously recently. I told myself when I got home from work today I was going to do my dishes. I got home and I was really tired, and I said I would do them tomorrow instead. But then I thought, if I was responsible for helping someone else, as tired as I am, I know I would do those dishes no problem because I would see it as a worthy endeavor to do the dishes for them and lift a little bit of a load off of their shoulders.That's when I realized I don't think I'm worth investing in like other people are, and that's something I really want to change

This man has changed my life. I left an abusive marriage of 25 years, I was able to stop morphine due to a surgery that went septic and caused liver abscesses after 6 months on the medication, the British nhs wanted me to stay on it due to the liver drain I had placed. I refused to stay on it, as an American, I understood the dangers. I paid for my child to graduate from Cambridge with a masters in corporate law along with paying for 2 other children to complete university. Meanwhile, my ex never earned a dime and lived off of my inheritance and any salary I earned during the 25 years ( with the exception of 1 year recovering from sepsis and liver abscesses) pretending to work and travel while cheating. He is bipolar and was recently diagnosed as aspd. I am now doing what I love and have always wanted to do. I'm in trauma therapy and am back in America living anhappy abuse free life. Dr Peterson is so brilliant I'm grateful I was exposed to his ideas, particularly the "slay the dragon you can.”

Legendary stories are narrative truth about the nature of humans told before philosophy existed as a science. Humans evolved to both retain and act on truth more reflexively when it is taught in narrative. This has been well confirmed in experiments.

In the end JP convinced Milo he's a rape victim and got Milo to admit if he ever met this vicar again he would buy a gun and shoot him. Powerful stuff.

Anyway, I recommend you watch the Milo interview as JP goes into full "Psychologist" mode - which annoys Milo greatly and in the end JP whittles Milo down to stopping doing a Cartman from South Park where he trolls for trolling sake and actually starts being honest. Genuinely powerful when Milo - who is anti Me2 and genuinely thinks it's women's fault for sleeping with powerful men who take advantage of them and even rape them - gets his comeuppance when JP flips it to Milo getting sexually abused by a 38 year old vicar who to begin with Milo claims he had "consensual sexual relations" with as a 13 year old - only towards the end of the interview admitting he'd buy a gun and shoot that vicar if he ever saw him again.

Peterson is 100% right about having kids and maturity. To me the simplest way to describe that for people that do not have kids is that as a parent, you tend to dream about being a kid again but you know it is past life forever out of reach for you and you try to project that onto your kids, trying to make childhood for them the best it can be. Before children, I had such ideas but only out of frustration of not having as much time because of work but it quickly went away. As a parent, it is ever present and there is clear moment when the change happened, and it was when my first child was born. There is also dissonance to maturity - as parent you would love to be a kid again, but that would mean you would lose your kids, so at the same time you find the idea abhorrent. For childless, there is no cost to dreams of being a kid again, but at the same time, what stops you from being childish?

JBP has contributed an incredible amount to society at large. Helping people to aim up, put themselves together and get their problems sorted out. He is the reason I want to become more articulate, to write better and think better, and to pursue higher education *outside* of a traditional university setting as to not bury myself in debt. He is crushing it. Thanks Dr. Peterson!!

[@destructorzz7197]

​You don't know what you're talking about. Watch more of what he says. Watch his lectures. Watch his interviews with others. He NEVER pretends to have all the answers. Ever. ​He also does not shy away from conflict. If you think that he does, then how on earth do you match that with his behaviour around bill C16 in Canada, or his fight against the trans madness?@AS-gf5jn

[@sams8502]

@AS-gf5jn I see a lot of you surface level viewers who hardly know a thing about his philosophy but are easy to make judgements. He has never said he had all the answers. Also what are you talking about he is frightened of conflict. Anybody who knows him knows him for confronting Canadian lawmakers for C-16, Far Left university students, biased journalists and debating Sam Harris. Just because he says he doesn’t like confrontation does not mean he is frightened by it or avoids it.

[@Alex-mj5dv]

⁠@AS-gf5jnhe says he doesn’t have a natural disposition to seek out and enjoy disagreements and conflict… but he leans into it and does it more often than most, in pursuit of what he thinks is Right. That’s wisdom if you could ever define it. His whole bursting on to the scene was through disagreeableness turned up a notch with Bill C-16… nobody else was brave enough to endure the conflict that ensued. And JP did because he felt it was too important.

[@carloreytansiongco8741]

I think part of the issue is that you need "a background on JP" especially with his earlier years of videos to establish the heft and mental journey he had to go through to arrive at his conclusions or ponderings. Without that, it is easy to mistake his current ideas as ramblings or as Dawkin's put it "bullshit". Hence why its so difficult to recommend others to JP since, unless they have the openness for it, you'd basically require them to go through his earlier works as a "primer". My first encounter with Peterson was his genesis lectures. Which really prepared my mind on his later philosophy.

I like how Graham does the questioning of the heavy hitters more so and jack does the medium to smaller guys. I think the dynamic works very well in both cases, keeps the unspoken hierarchy in check and makes the guests more comfortable. Well done

[@Christoff8188]

Jack asked maybe 80% of the questions in this interview, and clearly had a better synergy with JP when it came to philosophy. In fact, I was taken aback by Jack a little; he's way more intellectual than I realised. Graham did great too, but I felt he (perhaps intentionally?) took a bit of a back seat to just absorb the conversation, with a few questions here and there. The two of them work together really well, regardless. I hope they remain a duo for a long time to come.

Tough conversation but it has to be had. Inability to recognise that some people are simply born with higher cognitive processing power is the reality that makes freedom and equality impossible equation.

[@trevorjames3082]

For the question "how does having kids mature you?". It's moves you to living your life in the service of others, which is a big aim upwards. Prior to kids my life was about "What can I do to make myself happy/feel good?" Now I had a fairly long-term view and it wasn't pure hedonism, but fundamentally, it was a selfish way of living: "what is good for me?". Even my desire to have kids was rooted in the selfish idea that "having kids will be extremely fulfilling, for me." I saw it with you two during most of the conversation, and in many other podcasts you've done, always looking at how yourself can be fulfilled / happy / actualized, etc. The key thing that kids change is that you (should) stop thinking about that. That's not the highest aim. You end up aiming much higher and the goal becomes "how can I be of service?". It sounds like you become a servant but it's an incorrect interpretation. Doing everything for your children is not doing them a service at all. If you're really honest with yourself and take time to discern what "service" actually means, you'll find that aiming for this will, more often than not, result in a fulfilling, joyful, actualized life. Kids will push you, almost force you into that role. Where the problems happen is when you resist and stay in your pre-child mode of selfish goals. The transition was hard for me, and it's hard for the marriage, but if you make it out the other side and aim to something much higher than the self, you will find true meaning (and adventure).

[@blackthornep8115]

Yeah, having kids can do that. But for a lot of people they don't give a shit and do poorly by their kids. Don't pretend that having kids is magical and makes everyone better because it does not. For some it does.

[@Blessedbloomingrose-ep5xi]

When you prioritise your child intrest, growth and development, you will find yourself supporting your child along the way. In doing so, you also support the kids that shares similar interests as your kid.

It has been sometimes after the 'post benzo russian arc'. At that point of time, i can't even watch a video of JBP (I used to be one of his biggest fan couple of months before that) he turned into a rambling angry old man, wayyy opposite what he used to be, an articulate stoic and passionate man. I guessed reality played some type of 'Nietzchean Eternal Return' as a type of divine comedy on JBP, he got to the top so that he fell ... And now, after such a long time, i watched his videos again in recent time, and only GOD knows how happy i am to see he is Baackkk! More articulate, more stoic, and still very passionate. Glad to see you are getting better JBP

[@TashPointOh96]

Yeahhhh the benzo time was really sad. Him and his family have been through a lot. I'm very glad he is back too.

[@wgebhard1]

That entire situation was horrific. His wife was diagnosed with very serious cancer, and a trusted psychiatrist recommended clonazepam because if my wife of decades and decades that I met when I was less than ten years old might die I'd be absolutely falling apart with fear. And benzodiazepines can be appropriate, however some people's brain chemistry with benzodiazepines are a totally random lottery situation, most people "lose" in a good way by not having what happened to Jordan, but he won that lottery and as someone who understands all this context from irl experience Im shocked hes still alive, it's a tragedy on top of the tragedy of his wife's health. He developed akathesia, it's a side effect so bad that it actually makes many people commit suicide and also it can persist for life even after cessation. And also, if your gaba centers are very sensitive, (this has nothing to do with addiction, this is just a fact of habituation of gaba drugs, study up on it) after even as little as a month of benzo use it's recommended you taper for like 2 months to get off just from 30 days of use FOR A "NORMAL" patient. However, in Jordan's situation developing akathesia as well as exponentially extreme rebound symptoms while tapering, to the point of danger of seizures and death while stopping, Jordan's situation was a nightmare that I can't even imagine (and I completely understand the state of hospital detoxes and rehabs and "treatment" in America, taper plans, psychopharmacology, GABA A agonism, and am very familiar with the fact that out of every single drug on the planet, legal or illegal, benzodiazepine tapering or withdrawal is actually the worst on the planet, and on top of that can easily kill you). Jordan looked everywhere in the US for help but we have a cookie cutter treatment system (and honestly they really need to make centers that only focus on benzodiazepine cessation, dr prescribed or otherwise, and we need to remember he never once abused the benzos, he took them as prescribed the entire time with a legitimate prescription, with no actual "addict" tendencies.) But the cookie cutter shit is actually garbage (thank obamacare and also insurance monopolies and decades of fucked up laws regarding how things are billed). He took a huge hail mary going to Russia and going under anesthesia to get past the worst of it, but it worked. But seriously, it was the worst possible situation you could be put in with a psychiatrist and medication, and the chances of what happened to him with akathesia is extremely rare, so the whole thing honestly I firmly believed would have driven more vulnerable or weaker people to suicide very easily.
