Peterson is back to the level he was at before he got sick. The enthusiasm, the body language, the flow etc

He didn't get sick. He was a closet valium addict pretending to be a messiah for young boys before his addiction completely ruined his life and he had to come out as a phony. It wasn't a flu hahahahaha

He is doing great, and I know from experience, the difficulty to intellectualize and communicate while your brain is healing from benzo withdrawal, is absolutely terrifying and so hard. I can hear it in his voice, I absolutely respect this man for having the courage to build himself back up, because it absolutely feels like a swimming through a sea of anxiety and fear.

He was a HEAVY user multiple bars daily. He had seizures, and he didn't recognize his parents. His mother would call me crying hysterically saying "I don't think he's ever coming back. He's completely gone." It was horrible. He got through it though, and he came out 3 or 4 months later looking like a full person again. But he couldn't stay away from it, and he's back on Xanax & methadone prescribed both. Even then he sometimes tries to use heroin, and has overdosed at least 9 or 10 times. I don't know how to help him. We started using drugs when we were like 15, and it's been his whole life. I never got on heroin, but I was addicted to oxy. I'm stuck on subs now which sucks, but it has allowed me to have a regular life where I don't even consider going back to oxy or dope at all.

[@renejerezano3760]

The reason why Jordan Peterson always breaks down everything into the tidy bits of understanding, is because he goes out of his way to portray himself in such behavior. We fail to understand that the only way you or I can understand how people function as a collective and individual, is analyzing our own conducts and behaviors in life and owning such episodes, so that we don’t get stuck in them. We all have behaved in one moment or another, or for a day or two, in any of the personality traits he described…unfortunately not everybody is willing to break their own ego and humble themselves to accept it, express it, and deal with it, like he says, for so many people it’s just easier to stay that way and that’s when they become definitely one of those archetypes.

Of course he gets all the wise cracks, but it's not what he's there for. But as a well socialised guest, he has to play ball.

Jordan Peterson is such a great psychologist that Bill Maher can't help it but open up. So glad to have you guys, we need to hear sane conversations as much as possible. Times are hard for those living outside of box.

[@foehammer5047]

Yeah he's such a good psychologist that as his media career was taking off he abandoned his patients and the only response they got when trying to email him was an automatic response was him saying "sorry I'm out of office. Please troll my political opponents" That's not a joke. He is being considered for having his medical license revoked. He's THAT good.

[@naby214]

⁠@@foehammer5047Cry more. 😂😭 Doctors and psychologists move on to other things, retire, have family emergencies, move out of state or country, get sick.. all the time. News flash, they’re real people with their own lives and families. They are allowed to move on in their career. Usually their patients just find another doctor or psychologist. It happens all the time and It’s really not that deep and doesn’t make them bad people. 🙄

I've noticed people that know nothing about j.p. have a negative view of him but if you have actually listened to him it's no longer negative in most cases. Was that a poor way of handling his transition from his patients to now. Sure. Nobody is perfect and ask yourself honestly what would you do and then remember to be honest with yourself. Am I a fan of j.p. no. I like him. I like how he looks at things and his process of coming to a conclusion is neat. Dont let one mistake that he made cause your opinion of him to be set in stone.

you dont have to misquote him to reveal his contradictions on the topics he's a quack about, basically anything aside from psychology. LIke Religion, environmental science, lots of the culture battle stuff he says....

[@dapv144]

@paulg6274 his research, practice, and expertise extend beyond psychology. He is put into a box of limitations in that way because he taught psych and was a clinical psychologist. But he wasn't limited to that. He's done more research and was ahead of people like JustStopOil in regards to the impacts humanity has on the climate. Other than his stated stance on religion somewhat evolving over time, as it tends to do with anybody trying to find growth and understanding throughout their life, you'd be hard pressed to find contradictory statements from him.

[@mlineberry25]

We just watched Bill Maher get a Bible lesson where he not only listened with interest but also seemed to find genuine value in it. That speaks volumes about the amount of respect they have between them. They have just the right amount of contrast and common ground to make for a very rewarding exchange.

[@TheGreekPoet]

I agree. I find that JP looks at Bible stories for the meaning behind the myth and symbology. Sort of like how Joseph Campbell did in his Power of Myth series. So he doesn't come across as an imposing worshipper.

[@mlineberry25]

@TheGreekPoet Agreed. As someone who grew up in and struggled with fundamentalist Christianity, myself, Peterson's approach to studying the Biblical narratives are inviting and thought-provoking. I've enjoyed his Biblical series quite a bit. Granted, he catches criticism from both the fundamentalist and the secularists, but I think there's inherent value in what he's trying to do. I've certainly benefited from it.

[@Gallus11B]

​@mlineberry25 The main issue with the Bible is that it's false and most of the meaning behind the stories are bad, lazy or uninteresting from a philospohical standpoint. Joseph Campbell's work on the monomyth is interesting because it shows how humans are primed biologically to be attracted to very similar story structures that transcends culture and geography. Which is the opposite of what Peterson does by jacking off the Bible for his right wing grift and pretending like the bronze age fairy tales of the Bible are uniquely important or philosophically interesting. Philospohical thinking has comes so much more advanced and interesting than the crap in the bible. Aside from the texts historical significance in history, it is largely pretty boring, 1 dimensional and wildly out dated by modern study.

[@joeday4293]

@@TheGreekPoet "Believe this or burn in hell" is a very, very different pitch than "Hey, man, you may not realize it, but there's actually some really, really deep commentary on the human condition hidden in those stories that look so dumb to you from the surface, and that's why people still continue to return to them after thousands of years." That's an entirely different conversation, and it's the way that conversation should always go. And I say that as a Christian.

[@KevinGeneFeldman]

@@joeday4293 That isn't what the Bible says. It is not "believe" anything or burn in hell, its accept an offer or be forever unmade. Even some who believe in God will not accept him, Gods only after those who will, those who won't are unmade. The point is to accept the gift of the one who took punishment in your place, that you don't deserve and cant earn, or you will simply not exist anymore. You aren't owed a life you were given, you are offered an eternal life that you don't deserve.

Well done, this is a beautiful display of respectfully sharing knowledge with out allowing personal emotions to dictate the story. I want to highlight this Bill, despite your emotions and view point on the Bible, your respect for Jordan allowed for information to be shared and reflected on. Jordon, your insight to peoples responses and positioning yourself with such skill when sharing is amazing to watch. I have watched so many debates on different topics and its sad that the goal of the debate is seen as a competition of who's best rather then growing in collaboration :)

[@Nylon_riot]

Start by getting rid of the labels, this includes the right. To demonstrate what a difference there is, remember Reagan won in 1980 with 47 states. A concept inconceivable for younger folks. Basically the cold War era. But that was because we discussed policy first. Party wasn't as important and may not even come up till later. The old adage that if you can't decide on a candidate, vote by most important issue to you? Is from this time period because they were very similar, so you chose a tie breaker. My favorite Congressional historical moment is here. Deep Snyder versus the Senate hearing with Commerce over the Parental Music Rights Group in 1985 which was over censorship of music. Guess who spearheaded it? Tipper Gore. who with? Susan Baker.
