Let's change the title to: "JP explains being afraid is the default mode. To be calm requires effort."

[@clairebear2975]

Well said Reza, was about to say the title is incorrect

[@mike2143]

Thanks you saved 10 minutes of my time lol

[@giosieu5055]

Should've read the comment before watching 😢 but it's informative nevertheless

[@readingthebible5413]

Despite the somewhat misleading title, this has to be one of my favorite videos from him.

[@jerrygreene1493]

Did JP say something profound in this video?

[@NehajThak]

Doesn’t explain how to remain calm, but how we perceive safety. Good video nonetheless.

[@hpiccus]

Watch for signs that the environment is not going to kill you. If you see signs to the contrary , use your higher brain to make choices and take steps to protect yourself. But ask yourself, are the signs of harm credible or am I simply over reacting?

[@Barneyjo]

@@hpiccus I agree

[@e.znamini3241]

I agree. The title should be "JP explains being afraid is the default mode. To be calm requires effort."

[@07bmarshall]

Perceiving safety IS how you remain calm. Therefore, JBP explains how to remain calm.

[@l.p.8298]

@@hpiccus also implicit in the explanation is that organizing our environment in such a way that it reflects the markers of comfort can induce calmness (sitting in the same area, leveraging conformity, etc )

[@wolfdendrones8640]

It’s so interesting to see an old video of Jordan and see what a difference his weight loss made in his appearance 😊

[@izawaniek2568]

The idea that our default state is calm is seriously debatable. The place where rules do not apply is chaos, is an unexplored territory and fear therefore is a fully normal and understandable reaction. Our systems overflow with stress hormones which are very harmful to our health.

[@dezt538]

So basically our own body kills us slowly as long as we don't feel good and comfortable. Sounds like a damn good way to garantee our motivation to seek order

[@atherisgreen1391]

I love this man.

[@gcmediastaff943]

How to be calm in unexpected situations: expect the unexpected.

[@sirchedge7311]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@joshy0369]

Good stuff 👏 👍

[@ncar-ul6wd]

"Most of you aren't foaming at the mouth" One kid in the corner 🤤

[@Beatrizvillacorta]

How to be calm: you teach that yourself by learning after a repetition of events mostly visual and of intelectual knowledge thru time and experiences. The sings that tells us if we can remain calm are in front of us. Besides the infrastructures predators of humans (psychological or physiological )are other humans, the way someone dress, talks, what they say, how the move and why. The corporations we are or not part of or the people we work for. Loved this video, thanks The Best

[@ojnavarro9794]

This is a great analyzation 💯👍🏻 so true our day to day habits determine that. Also the mood were in on the day as well.

[@tammy6452]

Me:great timing as soon as i see the video. Get to the middle of video about rats being conditioned to feel fear . Me: go find something else to do for an hour before finishing video. This hit spot on at the right moment to strike the cord of my conditioned response to fear. That was how i was controlled in stark and horrifying conditions growing up. And threatened not to tell anyone. Well i did tell someone, a lot. Now i speak to only one family member from that side of yhe family and that fear returns. In the video he does tell you how to be calm, it takes work. You have to recondition your response. Recognize triggers and work on new behaviors through the anxiety . Set boundaries around the toxic environment and find healthy people and places.

[@Ramkal]

The introduction sounds so Persian😊

[@tamelashafer8852]

💜♾🙏🏼🕉

[@rossfriedman6570]

40 seconds in he talks about this in his existential podcast

[@extremelucky1]

A lot of people take Jordans teachings and put the wrong titles on them

[@JiraiyaSama86]

I think this is part of where the misconceptions sometimes happens when it comes to certain opinions of JBP.

[@lifeiswhatyoumakeit4546]

Did I miss how to be calm?????

[@izawaniek2568]

What if the place is corrupt?! What a terrible place to live then it is?!

[@letsgoBrandon204]

So why are some people apparently incapable of learning how to be calm in certain places I never seemed to learn how to be calm around people

[@mizuslayer]

might have to do w/ individual inauthenticity in regards to your personhood/presentation. this usually requires an individual to hyper-attune to their environment (I.e the ppl in their environment) and that constant hyper-attuning/scanning for safety, causes mental/emotional drainage, and that drainage codes as anxiety and not feeling satisfied or even calm around ppl. therapist helped me realized that my inauthenticity was why, even tho i'm an extrovert, I tended to feel not calm around other ppl in relatively safe environments. for some ppl inauthenticity can be closeted sexuality, for others it can be presenting to be in a socioecon bracket that they're not actually in, for others it could be hiding their true feelings/needs/desires in a relationship w/ a significant other/partner/lover/friend/mentor. etc. sexual or otherwise. sometimes it's not even that dramatic. but for ex. I had to hide my true personhood from my family for a couple reasons growing up (what a doc would consider "a core trauma wound") which created in me a habit of hyper-attuning everywhere I went --- not to be a "ppl pleaser" PER SE, but to constantly scan for social and emotional danger. thus my extroversion became a shell of my personhood - a tool to help defend myself at home that made me very un-calm even when I was in a diff environment where I could be accepted for my true self. inauthenticity was a great tool when i'm a child vulnerable and dependent under the tutelage of my incompatible parents. but it became a weakness: a major character flaw when i'm a grown man now on my own being inauthentic causing mental distress in my new calmer adulthood environments. so the recommendation would be to do EXTENSIVE SHADOW WORK, bringing memories habits and thoughts from the subconscious to the conscious mind, and healing those wounds, so that you don't continue habitual behaviors that make you anxious and deter you from a calm state. what JP says makes perf sense: being panicked is a basal state for most of us. we have to learn how to be calm. how to not be a rat afraid of the light/electric shock in the cage

[@aiden909beauchaine5]

How does this shit only have 64 views?

[@Dialogos1989]

A good argument for the utility of belief in God.

[@Phoinx]

It actually didn't answer the question proposed...?

[@cr8cat794]

Many of Jordan’s videos, while good in some ways, very often don’t deliver on the title. The “illustration” in this video is distracting and unhelpful, and makes a weak attempt to chew the meat for the viewer;

[@michaelgee683]

The title was deceiving. It didn't really getuchbon years of calmness. I'm sure there must have been more that was not covered in this short video.

[@amirm.sojudi5226]

Title is not relevant!😡

[@VikingMan44]

They never are. Freaking hate all these bullshit youtube channels with their clickbaity titles.

[@frigityfresh]

A better title is noted in the comments above

[@wadimwadimow5439]

With all due respect to Mr. Peterson, when he talks about Soviet Union or put precisely his false conceptions about UdSSR and the life in Soviet Russia, I would like to ask him where the hell did he got all these ridiculous information?! What the hell? Ud SSR was not a paradise on Earth, every Soviet citizen knew about it.

[@readingthebible5413]

With all due respect, maybe you didn’t understand what he said. Or maybe you did and I didn’t lol. But I didn’t get what you did out of his explanation. In fact it sounded to me like he said exactly what you did.

[@Moc5]

Who in the world introduced this video? Kylo Ren? Sounded morbid.

[@Birthdaycakesmom]

Do you ever get tired explaining everything to everyone?

[@etherealallure9173]

lol hows this question related

[@jerrygreene1493]

Peterson explains how we react to different situations? Who needs JP's explanation on this? Not me.

[@haylowalker1252]

then buzz off, dingaling

[@readingthebible5413]

Interesting. Why comment? I’m not being a smart ass, because I do it too sometimes.
