[@petersutton523]

Why do I find listening to Dr Peterson so cathartic, so restful? Easy. Because he speaks the simple truth without fear, no matter how difficult that truth may be, and he gets straight to the point. He doesn't p*ss around with build ups or niceties, he says what needs saying then leaves his audience to digest it, think about it and deal with it. That is such a beautiful change these days, an intelligent adult who treats others like intelligent adults. ❤️

[@johnritter5951]

Jordon is interesting to listen to because he is a rare commodity....a psychologist who is also a philosopher. It is his forays into philosophy that have led him to discover the truth claims of Christianity, psychology being of necessity agnostic. This does leave a limitation though as seen when he defines "truth," not as "what God knows (thus making truth absolute) but rather as "the best you yourself can come up with." This, naturally, leaves truth as merely a relative concept and we are once again right back to "you have your truths and I have mine." This is fine, even logical, for agnostics and atheists, but wholly inadequate for anyone within the Christian faith. But, he's learning, and improving as he progresses. By the way, as an aside, "relative truth...you have your truth and I have mine," is a linguistic absurdity, indeed contradiction. The word truth presupposes an absoluteness. When we do not intend such absoluteness, we are supposed to use the word opinion...you have your opinion and I have mine. So, you see relative truth is internally contradictory. It is a problem of misuse of the English language. The vast majority of those using it do not realize their folly.

[@62Cristoforo]

What he’s saying is the world functions around our collective courage; it depends on it to work. I’ve never considered this view. Remarkable.

[@TimoRutanen]

More like collective cooperation. That seems to me to be easier to understand. We also have methods that solidify agreements and trust: we can make legally binding agreements so that if someone breaks the agreement, the society or the justice system will likely be able to compensate the hurt party for the betrayal. Even without a justice system or society, word does get around of someone's betrayal and thus making it more difficult for them to make deals in the future. So there's usually some kind of a cost. At its core though, trust is taking a risk.

You're not responding to any particular truth content in what he says. You're merely responding to the flattery of him pandering to your own preconceived prejudices. The truth must always be distinguished from "what I want to hear", and only rigorous critical thinking can achieve that. The trouble with Peterson's adoring fans is that they so often allow him to do their critical thinking for them - a situation I think he understands and cynically exploits. There's little difference between that dynamic and the operation of a cult.

0:49 - 0:59 I have an opinion about this that might be naïve but I'd still like to express it. Speaking from some experience, when someone that's 'higher up' tells me something thats supposed to be truth, I'll believe them. I think Jordans expression is supposed regard who believes these lie telling people in the long term (as in more than a year or so). It could just be me but when people get told things that aren't true they'll tend to believe it if the person telling it is of high social worth. This also applies to bullies who tell you that you're worthless (just an example). If told enough times without someone else pleading against it, this false truth may be interpreted as a real truth. My point being that it is hard having reality on your side, mostly because one wouldn't believe it if it would favor them (especially after being told the opposite). Someone that would have reality positively on their side is most likely also the person that would not believe that it is, instead believing they are always the problem. Though the social aspect of the problem will most likely lie on their side, the thuth about their worth will practically always be on their side in the sense that they are worth a lot more than they think. TL:DR bully is bad, believe in yourself. You wouldn't believe it, but you're worth more than you think. Keep going and don't stop. You got this Champ. PS: If you're reading this and want to be more social and accepted within a group, just look up on youtube how to behave so you will become that type of person. You might find it hard to find something but you can absolutely succeed. Believe me, I've been in the exact situaltion you're in right now for all of my life until 18.

@5:13 Jordan Peterson said: "i'll say one more thing about trust that's very much worth knowing so this is what you learn if you're a clinician most people who trust are naïve and naïve is not a virtue." What Peterson is talking about is misplaced trust, a poorly constructed trust and a misused or misapplied trust. Yes, to be trusting is courageous, but trust is never foolish or blind. It is like a DIY person mishandling a repair tool and ends up making the repair worst. Trust has prerequisites. The naïvety is the inability to recognize the truth of something, or about something. Such as morality vs immorality. In todays confusions lead by the leftists, many people fall for their claims because they are "naïve" about the immorality of the leftist claims and actions. As such, naïvety is the active ignorance of the truth.

[@lstath]

Naivety is not the active ignorance of truth. It is the misbelief that other people will abide by the written or unwritten rules that people should. That is what is meant by being burned. You learn that people disregard the rules you abide by. In my opinion, you have to expand your model of human behaviour to include the liars and cheats.

[@TheSeeker2013]

@@lstath Ignorance is the lack of knowledge or information. Naïvety is the lack of experience and wisdom, which requires knowledge in order to see and understand the truth. A naïve person does not have the needed understanding and perception, gained through knowledge and experience, to discern if the other person deserves trust. That alone, includes liars and cheaters and all forms of evil. Hence, naïvety is the active ignorance of the truth. All this is from first-hand experience, not theories.

Why do you think they all refused my confrontations? There was no valid reason for how they treated me and as time went by more destruction was caused. I confronted at the risk of being arrested and fined for trespass. To this day, none of them will face me.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BEING A HINDU? By Francois Gautier. *Diversity in Divinity and Unity in Spirituality.* 1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted 2) Don't believe in God ! - You're accepted as Nastik 3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak. 4) You dont want to worship idols - no problem. You can focus on Nirguna Brahman. 5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc. are core Hindu schools. 6) You want to accept beliefs as it is. Most welcome. Please go ahead with it. 7) You want to start your journey by reading Bhagvad Gita - Sure ! 8) You want to start your journey by reading Upanishads - Go ahead. 9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana - Be my guest. 10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion) 11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi. 12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy. 13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic ! 14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship). 15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb! Follow Advaita philosophy 16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan. 17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study ! 18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped. 19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family) 20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival. Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year. 21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu. 22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved. 23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu! 24) You know that Hinduism is a way of life, with considerable freedom. 25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe! 26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint. 27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily) You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu! This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!! There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every directions..

I'll be honest, without the context of what he was asked or told to prompt this little tirade, I thought it was just going to be standard Peterson allusions to grand concepts without ever saying anything or getting to the point. But he brings it all together to cut his own legs off very neatly at the end.

[@daniellesomerfield8799]

On our way home from Cambodia (seeing my daughter and son-in-law who had set up an orphanage there) we happened to be on the flight leaving Singapore with the pastors of the cult, David and Narelle Crabtree. We were sitting in Economy just two rows ahead of them. I saw them and said hello. The only words out of David's mouth were, "I thought you would be up the front" (meaning in First Class), which we would have been eligible for if there were seats available. A month later I was cast out.

[@wisevirgin3405]

Jordan, you are so naive it's PAINFUL to see. You have no concept about the CONTEXT of Christ calling the (wait for it....) CHURCH "lukewarm". He was not calling Jews or Moslems or Buddhists or Hindus or Atheists or Secular Humanists "lukewarm"... so your comment about "fencesitting" only demonstrated your "fruit" of not understanding the Scripture. You can never hope to offer an "informed opinion" on Scripture when you are not able to discern the CONTEXT of a passage. How in the world can you expect to understand MEANING without CONTEXT. ------- You REALLY should stick to secular matters because you know NOTHING about the Gospel.

How so? You obviously have a hatred and severe TDS of Donald Trump just from your comment alone, as well as never sitting down and NEVER listening to whatever Dr.Peterson espouses. I'd like to hear of why you have such a strong reasoning against people leading their own lives without government intervention.

While I appreciate Peterson, I am afraid that at times he comes across as too much like a cult leader and I am not sure that he is aware of this.
