Israel, Russia, China, Iran: The World in Conflict | Walter Russell Mead | EP 326

Dr Jordan B Peterson and Walter Russell Mead cross continents in a broad discussion over world affairs. They go in-depth on the state of China’s totalitarian regime, Vladimir Putin's plans for the war with Ukraine, the growing unrest under Iran’s iron fist, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, and how a push for American optimism is necessary to best face these emboldened challengers on the world stage.
Walter Russell Mead is a writer, professor, and academic, focusing his efforts on international policy and affairs. He is the James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College and taught American foreign policy at Yale University. Mead has worked as a columnist for publications such as The Wall Street Journal and was editor at large for The American Interest. His books include “Mortal Splendor,” “Special Providence,” “Power, Terror, Peace and War,” “God and Gold,” and most recently “The Arc of a Covenant.”

[Diego Vargas]

Besides the fact just wanted to thank you for saving my mentality as a young man. I’m an ex felon at 22 who now goes to church and has a family with communication beyond words. Our newborns life is better off for it. Not only did you save me as a young man but my daughters future. I should be dead and repeating an unstable gang like mentality…but Jordan Peterson teaches about overcoming trauma on KZbin lol. Love you and thank you wise guy.

[Lori r]

Good job. It's not easy. But its worth it.

[Tony Viers]

God has blessed you and given your children a better chance. You are breaking the cycle. God bless you brother

[Russell Klassen]

@Conner God didn't take your son quit blaming him for. Other circumstances.

[Conner]

I wish I could have that. God or whoever now I think punished me by killing my son and taking my riches. Now I'm an addict and depressed. I don't know what to do but to listen to this guy. Being alone has factors I guess

[TheMonsterHunterTV]

Please keep up your work Jordan. You inspired me to work harder on my goals. 3 years ago i was an jobless loser. Now i'm a mechatronics-engineer soon. I'm also going to build an house at the end of the year and getting married in September. I'm so thankful to you. I never thought i would be able to study a pretty complex field, work 3 days a week beside that, working out in the gym 3 to 4 times a week and keeping an healthy relationship. You are one of my heroes.

[chuglyc]

Now I have to watch again with a notepad so I can write down the enormous amount of information that these two just taught me. I was a political science major…never had a better lesson on foreign affairs than what these two guys just laid down for us.

[Balsisis]

Please watch some Michael Parenti instead

[Nicholas Mendez Del Valle]

Just thinking that

[Charles r]

Very interesting discussion! Thank you, Jordan and Walter for bringing a rational perspective on a history of hate and religious turmoil. Would love to hear more from you both on this topic in the future.

Two very wise, thoughtful and objective men having a very interesting discussion. If we had more men like these two the world would be a better place

[Mr. Kisch]

Love you peterson. Thank you for keeping us all sane over these past few years of absolute madness.

[doug conley]

I recently lost my father. I kept hearing Dr. Peterson’s voice , saying a good goal is to be strong at your fathers funeral. It meant so much to me. Thank You!

[Geena Chavez]

I’m sorry to hear abut your father. My father called me a week ago to tell me he had some bad news and doesn’t know how much time he has left. I hope to be strong when the time comes too. Best of luck to u.

[Dan W]

Sorry to hear of your loss, Doug. Hope the funeral brings peace.

[Dixie Goldsmith]

The Leader of the Chinese people has gotten too big for his own mental stability. For when having such a Centralized Power, made himself such a Big Power, that as a Totalitarian that it Made him Crazy.

[Idid]

Not just strong, but useful. Someone others can rely on. That speech of his really impacted me too. And yep I got to play out in real life. Yehovah bless Dr. Peterson and our Dads.

[Hadis art]

Hello, thank you for all your podcasts. I like to say something about Iran, Iran has been made from different parts, Arab, kourd, baluch and etc. Although, all of them are United under one name, and they are proud of it. There is a book called "Shahnameh." This book is old and has many great stories. This book saved Persian language, and it is a reason that when Arab attacked Iran around 6B.C. and governed Iran for 200 years, we still talk Persian. This book isn't a religious book, but people still practice it.

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

@Truth violates community guidelines An unwitting agent, I think, though he has little excuse for his ignorance in these matters. He should document himself more widely, and speak only when he has looked at these matters more thoroughly.

[Truth violates community guidelines]

@Rose-Marie Mukarutabana Couldn’t have said it any better. Disappointed to see Mr Peterson become an agent for Angloo-Zzionist militarism. I guess they offered him a big payday after their other web “intellectual”, Sam Harris embarrassed himself with his rank stupidity

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

Good point. Iran is an ancient and experienced country. It will survive US bullying and strive. Unfortunately, Prof Peterson is ill informed and his guest is just spewing prejudices, not a balanced analysis. The US is innocent, Iran is evil - and "they need an enemy", Peterson chips in, rather unhelpfully... He really needs to read up on the topic.

[Tami Higgs]

Dr Peterson, I'm a 43year old post op trans woman and I truly appreciate how you're advice has helped me to conceptualise gender "rights" and the importance of me taking personal responsibility. You have been instrumental in me realising how futile it is aligning myself to victimhood. I have become a mentally stronger, more self reliant person. Thankyou😘

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

Your soul chose your body precisely because it was a male body, so as to experience manhood. You were most probably a woman in several of your past incarnation, which is why you tried to go back to womanhood, as this is more comfortable, due to well-established life habits. But now your soul has deemed it good to use a male body for its planned physical-plane experience - to cultivate males virtues and traits. And you've frustrated that plan ... But never mind: you'll be reborn a man, again and again, for as long your soul (your real self) needs a male body for its learning processes. By them, I hope you're have realised you're not your body, and stopped over-identifying with what is really just a vehicle for the soul.

[Neil Ruedlinger]

I'm not an LGBTQ+ person, so I cannot identify with the daily personal struggles such folks face. However, as a survivor of psychological and some physical abuse from a toxic family (father, mother, mother's sister and my sibling) either through direct, proxy or indirect involvement, who were each other's flying monkeys backing up their tag team abuse. I can understand some of the difficulties of your own personal life's journey, and wanted to share that one truth my abusive family always kept me from realizing (before I finally broke free from their collective toxic influence) is that we are in control of our own lives, and there's nothing really stopping us from consciously deciding to give ourselves permission in making the choices enabling each one of us, in living the rest of our lives as happy as we can make them. I try not to let the expectations of others or the fear my toxic family inculcated into my mind since I was a child, to interfere with becoming the person I instinctively feel I was always meant to be. We are born with the potential to be many kinds of people, but we eventually die as one person; I try each day to be the best honorable, honest, compassionate, positive and smartest person I can humanly be. I never intend to stop learning about living a good life and my STEMA interests, and do my best to keep an open mind. When I die I hope my epitaph may read something like: "I made sure no one else got hurt, and I still had a great time doing that final test!" or "That last idea that I had fun working out in my head, seemed really great at the time." or "Yeah I know it was dangerous, but I thought I had worked out all the kinks and at least I had a blast!" or "Science made me do it. And in my defense, I did enjoy it to the last!" or "Even though it was unwise to put myself in harm's way, I really hope I managed to capture that money shot footage on my camera. I hope I got a cool Cinematic look; did I remember to push the REC button?"

[snickle1980]

That's Awesome! I love coming down here and reading these success stories. Speaking for myself, the transition from victimhood to responsibility feels like freedom. I'm halfway through my life as well, and I think we switched course at the very last second possible. I've noticed that people who have reached the age of 50 tend to solidify in their habits. they're less elastic in their ability to learn grow and change. We imagine that we'll be this sharp and clever forever, but it rarely works out that way. Best to get some of this taken care of before it becomes too complicated and tiring, knwo what i mean? I just have one question...Is Nivea a good choice for skin care in the Florida sun when combined with a 70spf? After i began working last year, the sun began attempting to age me. I have lines now. wrinkles. What can i place on my face that doesn't immediately melt off with sweat? They all claim to stay on, but they all sweat off within 30 minutes. It's not immediately apparent that weatherproof sweat-proof sunblock actually exists!

[Barbara Sherman]

I was reading the great turnaround stories here, shared by young men who'd been encouraged by Jordan Peterson and are grateful. I just want to point out to them that their own stories are very inspiring and their example for successful living today is passing on Jordan's words to other young men. You're all a light ✨️ now in your family and community. So much respect 🙏 to you all.

[M_C]

@Абрамс Леопардов Or the Greeks did. e.g. Democracy.😁👍👋

[Абрамс Леопардов]

It's not about some kind of exclusivity of the Anglo-American culture, they just realized before everyone else that it is impossible to defeat Freedom, rights and democracy

[David Burkhardt]

Thank you Dr Peterson for all you are doing. I spent over two decades lost in drug addiction. The lack of a strong male role model among other problems greatly affected me. I'm now forty two , have a wife and newborn daughter who I love with all my heart. Have a good job and am rebuilding my credit and financial status. My heart overflows with gratitude as I write this

[Anna Corsi]

As always, thanks for this insightful & informative dialogue. Jordan its great that you are allowing the guest to finish their thoughts more and more throughout your podcasts. Said gently and in an encouraging way :)

[Chonlada W.]

I’m a woman and is a big fan of your contents. I also know quite a few women who loves your contents as well. We are out here and love your work! You have saved us from chaos and have helped us mentally and intellectually. I hope people realize that JP’s audiences are not just “angry white men” like the media tries to claim.

[Ladea Carr]

love dr. peterson

[Денис Соколов]

@Deb Hughes this is the problem, that common sense is hidden from everyone, and swindlers of various calibers are in plain sight, there is such a thing as Pharisees, are you familiar with it? Pharisees today and Pharisees 2000 years ago, if not, then it is necessary to fill this gap

[Deb Hughes]

@WMF FMW she NEVER said all white men are angry. She was pointing out that the media points out JP helps mainly white angry men… and that many women are also helped by his lectures. What does the media know? She’s not bashing anyone.

[Deb Hughes]

He has a huge women following, myself being one.. we are just more silent than the men the media has no idea. Lol

[James R]

Sir, you are a shining light to me personally, by helping me see through the fog of our world. You are such a wise man, with the most pure way of helping us through your message. Thank you so much Sir.

[DanKuches]

I am so happy to hear that you are touring again, Dr. Peterson. Your passion, intellect, and your sincere love for humanity are so moving and inspirational. I am learning so much about myself and about my fellow humans, and I am grateful to have found your channel. God bless you and your family, may you live in health and continue to teach the world while sharing your experience, intellect, and hope. Thank you

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

Thanks for sharing that story. Good to see you've now come through. Now suppose that those individuals - father, mother, sibling, aunt - have been with you in past lives, in different permutations. And none of you did a great job at getting on together. And that this life is yet another opportunity for you to resolve those karmic issues you have accumulated, and that need some working out. I hope you succeed in settling them, so you don't have to go through those painful experiences again in subsequent incarnations. '

[Richard M Masliah]

What an amazing discussion between two great intellectual minds. Thanks for this deep evaluation of the multiple areas of considerations. Definitely loved this episode & look forward buying a few of the professors books. Bravo gentlemen. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇮🇱

[Bob Jones]

Great Conversation by two brilliant people, thank you Jordan and Walter

[J Damian Abel, RN]

Fascinating and informative discussion. Jordan Peterson continues to amaze me with depth of knowledge of all disciplines, truly a Renaissance Man.

[MissME]

You are a gift to humankind Mr JP...we all salute you🙌 Both my son's , 21 & 26 just saw you in NZ...you blew their minds. From a mum ...thanks!

[Денис Соколов]

@Qué Mirá Bobo? I'm starving and I haven't paid for anything since I was 14, where is Putin's money?

[Денис Соколов]

deprive you of parental rights, who feeds their children with shit?

[Jack Crosby]

Thank you for saving my life Dr Peterson. Had ups and down along the way but you’ve been keeping me stable and sane for years. God bless you

[calstu]

What a thoughtful conversation. It covered such a wide swath of topics, and so even handed. Thanks guys.

[Randy Pennington]

Your a inspiration to everyone who will listen truthfully !!! Praying for you and your family !!!! You have come under attack for the truth that is absolute !!! Keep it up sir !!! God Bless you !!!

[feather kutz]

This is an excellent discussion, an eye opening one. Now to think about it most of what we know about these conflicts are from msm and from our own preferences news or writings. It is good to see things fron outside without our own personal bias or biases. Thank you both for this one.

[Eaton Asher]

This is an absolutely stunning exchange. Thank you Dr. Peterson

[Jack Learner]

I was living in another side of the world and found this man sensible in a very uniquie way. I was living in the philipines and english is my second language. I just recently got interested on your unimagineable way of thought process.The way you teach is so impactful not only to me but also to others. I should have to always turn on the subtitle for me to much more appreciate your vast knowledge on a bunch of topic.Indeed, the way you explain things is mind blowing. I learned a lot and thankful for the words that will help me to figure out what I wanted to be in my life. I see you as an outstanding public figure who truly meant what you says. I should say you're beyond genuis.

[Marinka Noordhout]

[Jack Learner]

@Ivan K Marawi siege happened a long time ago. Where many civilian people were being hostage and some got killed. If my memory serves it correctly. There were rebels which associated themselves as ISIS and they siege a specific place as it was being reported on TV news. It takes a long period of time before it was settled by army and other some powerful groups of the country. According to the news (not quite sure if it was true though) The mastermind was a member of ISIS from a different country. I think after the war they settled a peace to talk to resolve the issue. Of course casualties can't be avoided on this matter. Many civilians lost their houses, livelihood, a place to stay and loved ones. This was one of the most terible event that happened and was not being resolved in a short period of time by the authorities. I dunno what the administration doing on those times.

[Jack Learner]

@seth .m Not quite. English is being taught at school and I just got recently enhance my english speaking skills while I was working in a BPO industry but I takes a lot of practice.There are times that I was being surprised when an English speaker( American or other English speaking countries) talks on me. Sometimes I just need to figure out of what was being asked and formulate a specific response to any given question. But when it comes in grammar, I was having a litlle bit of hard time figuring it out on how it works. time.Thanks anyway.

[Martin Seeley]

Thank you Jordan for a most informative and enlightening discussion with Walter on what the world faces today regardless of where one might reside. The inclusion of history, known facts, disputed facts and the balanced articulated views by you both was truly outstanding. The Aglo American Accords and the adoption over time throughout the world has proved time and again that working together clearly improves the economic state and general standard of living. Perhaps we can turn to that song by the Beatles for a little inspiration... Come Together, right now, over me 🎼🎹 One thing I can tell you is you got to be free 🎹🎼

[Commissar Kordoshky]

As a lover of history this was magnificent to hear! :)

[Jack Waserman]

Wonderfully insightful, wide-ranging, illuminating and detailed discussion.

[Natalie Marie Meyer]

What an enriching conversation - I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you

[Natalie Marie Meyer]

@KingTairun if that's what you got from this conversation then ok

[Paul Brett]

It is so important to be a student of foreign policy. Straight away you are dispossessed of wide eyed gullibility, understand conflict, appreciate what you have (if you live in a democracy), and learn to see the other side of an argument.

[Honda Nakamoto]

When I was 20, the only persons I respected were dead. Now with 40, I do have an actual living human on my list: Jordan Peterson. Thanks for that, man. ❤

[Tanya Glenn]

[David Lyon]

Wow. Fantastic discussion. Thank you for providing this content!

[Infinite Dreamer]

May the legacy of jordan Peterson continue on. never die! and one of the top best videos ever! keep going on

[snickle1980]

Historically, he'll certainly have his place in the books. Not during our generation, but later on in a time when responsibility has made a comeback. See you in the future!

[AyRocSounds]

very nice and informative interview, it makes me want to read MR. Walter Mead's Book, and Mr. Peterson asked very good questions!

[TitsMegee420]

This was so informative. Walter's knowledge both historically and currently is beyond amazing. That wholesome moment when Walter asks if they can call each other by their first names was also great.

[mass ofi]

you love to see it

[Rob A]

Thank you Jordan for talking about this because I have been astonished at the fact that no one of very few people seem to understand the severity and the absolute chaos and destruction that is so close we are on the brink of it and no one in semen to do anything about peace talks

[Masada2]

Glad you, can see that. All the players r in place, nothing anyone can do to change what must take place but Russia & Iran will ultimately, be the losers.

[Silvy Kara]

Probably the best interview i have watched in a while. Keeping an objective view is the only way to solve our inhereted historical issues. Thank you for introducing me to the views of the gentleman interviewed. As a person passioned by geopolitics he just became a must read.

[Silvy Kara]

[William Scott]

Great informative interview. Peterson you didn't interupt to much today, good work ! Your interjections where useful and well placed . 🙂

[Imri Sagive]

Great interview! very informative and interesting - many great topics ;) to my view: as an Israeli - i dream of peace and believe in the two-state solution my mom gladly revisited Marrocco where her mom was driven out. now as a free person, with an education and a family of her own.

Jordan, you are not alone in your battle against the Ontario College of Psychologists. Your supporters are with you. You also have truth and justice on your side. These are powerful allies. While your opponents are tyrants, remain calm and humble. List and subpoena your opponents as adverse witnesses. As you cross examine your opponents, ask your questions. They are good questions that need to be asked. It’s time to put this woke agenda on trial.

[Gala]

@smhollanshead Im talking about transhumanism agenda

[smhollanshead]

@Gala what are you talking about?

[Trevor D]

Thankyou Jordan & Walter for this fascinating talk I enjoyed your topics. 🇦🇺

[Mohammadali]

Mr Walter Russell Mead is amazing, very likable and his thought process and what insights he gave me in this interview literally gave me goosebumps. That we can't fight with our "facts" cause it gets us nowhere and wars and God of battles will decide who's "right" and who gets to live and what facts get to survive. We should try to find common grounds so all could find a home and some place to belong to, that's tough though but something to consider whenever we think we're right. Thanks Jordan peterson and greetings from Iran.

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

Mr Walter Russell Mead is certainly likeable, but amazingly prejudiced and ill-informed about Russia, about Iran.... On Ukraine, he is simply following US propaganda: almost everything he says is false.

[JR M]

I love how he so beautifully diffused the tension in the conversation at 1:45:43

[Luke y]

Good on you mate 👍

[JC Stuart]

So grateful for this dialogue - so much CLARITY on topics that could easily be difficult to communicate. What a treasure, thank you both. -John from Florida

[Tim Barry]

Another fascinating conversation, thank you.

[Roxanne Armstrong]

Great to hear from you! I grew up on a grain farm in northern Alberta. My retired grandparents lived in Fairview most of my childhood. We come from tough stock SIr. Don't blink. This mother of five(homeschooling) and my husband love your unflinching honesty. 🙏🙏🙏

[A P]

I'm taking my son a single mom that is so grateful for your wisdom, the cheaper tickets but we are pumped to see you🎉... thank you Dr. Jordan Peterson for all that you do

[MTech]

Congratulations!! I want to see him at least once in my life 🙏🏼

[Kimo Bush]

Love this Guy, how he articulates foreign policy with an inward look on how countries/states see themselves

[Vered Hofton]

Diego now you are my hero! The strength you have is present and gaining momentum.Jordan B. Peterson is also my hero!Good men and women living the lives they were meant to live setting good examples by good actions,positive reinforcement and continuing day after day.This is our legacy to mankind,each of us has a very meaningful purpose somedays we are better then other days.But we must continually reassess find the joy of life,loving and having gratitude.God is present! Continue Diego we are in this together.

[Kantu Mutaka]

Thank you for your content Jordan. I am a Zambian lady that has followed you for a couple of years now and bought both your books (12 Rules For Life & Beyond Order) I appreciate the knowledge I am getting from both. Thank you so much sir 🙏🏾

[Kantu Mutaka]

@Garrett Tobin will do.

[Garrett Tobin]

@Kantu Mutaka Orwell's 1984 is definitely his most famous book, however he has written many other books and essays that are far more explanatory of his political opinions and justifications for holding them. If you haven't ever heard of Noam Chomsky you definitely need to check him out, he is the most renowned intellectual of the last century.

[Kantu Mutaka]

@Garrett Tobin just finished George Orwell's 1984. I haven't heard of the other two but I will get ahold of their books as well. Thanks Garret!

[Garrett Tobin]

@Kantu Mutaka Read some Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, or George Orwell

[Kantu Mutaka]

@Garrett Tobin you have a point there and highlighted some things I have not thoroughly looked into i.e. geopolitics. I will begin researching more into that.

[Stephen Soles]

Great conversation Walter and Jordan!

[Ralph Davidson]

Walter can explain situations in a way that allows me to learn. This was very good. I've learned more and improved myself more in the last 5 years than I did through all my schooling, thanks to JBP.

[Crew Crewdin]

This is one of the most high value KZbin channels I have ever come across. It consistently makes me think and challenges me and I learn about so many topics that seem too complicated for me to start on and makes it more digestible to read up on when interested later. The guests interviewed here are so amazingly knowledgeable. I love it

The clearest explanation on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict was one by Joan Peters, former Advisor of Middle East Affairs to the White House, titled: “From Time Immemorial.” I hope someone on Dr Peterson alerts him of this excellent piece of research on the roots of this conflict.

[Tara]

The world needs more people like Dr. Peterson. Lovely work

I really enjoyed the insight of your guest on this video. As informative as interesting. Thank you very much.

Wondefull stuff.Many thanks to the both of you!!!

[Sonny Jim]

Very insightful, thank you for this. I never thought of, but Walter brings it out so clearly, that Russia is lost and searching for some sort of ideological underpinning. Living in Canada, with it's centuries old traditions, I can't imagine how that must feel and have always taken it for granted.

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

I am sorry you find this conversation insightful, since the insights are so skewed and prejudiced as to be a version of US/NATO propaganda. Prof, Peterson should interviewees more carefully - or at least vary them. Colonels Richard Back amd Douglas McGregor do a better job at informing us than this Mr Mead.

[BlueBottle]

JP is such a puzzle for me. On one hand, he is a smart, well-educated, and open-minded individual with many sophisticated thoughts. On other topics, he sounds incredibly simple minded. "It is not at all obvious to me" that he actually has the prepared sufficiently this topic.

[SixMillionSilencedAccounts ByAntiFreeSpeechYewTube]

It's this simple: If you want real education on most topics in this video, watch Noam Chomsky, the real intellectual heavyweight...

[Stanislav Swati]

I agree. The views shared here a too simplistic.

[Qalbi Wilson]

@Rose-Marie Mukarutabana agreed

[Pedro Renteria]

@BlueBottle- Sounds like you disagree with JP, more than you agree with him and this topic is just an example of that.

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

@Nicholas Newman I disagree. On Iran, Russia, Putin, he is not investigating but going along with Mead's America-good-all-other-countries-bad bias. He agrees and reinforces Mead's imputation of evil motives to Putin, to the Iranians. Peterson is really quite green in these geopolitical matters, and had better begin by learning - and not just from blindly pro-US policy people.

[DrJohnstone]

Dear Dr Peterson, This is just another positive comment for you to read if you ever happen to come across it. I realise that’s unlikely, but anyway maybe this is more for me than for you. I’ve really enjoyed listening to your lectures and podcasts and interviews the last few years. It’s really opened my eyes to things about the world and about people that I didn’t ever really realise, or if I did I knew some of them crudely but couldn’t articulate them. One thing you’ve given me is some guts. I’ve become much more likely to stand up for what I believe is true and right, and speak up against evil when I hear it or see it. I’ve always been someone who believes in God, in Jesus as being God’s son. I don’t profess to be an expert but I feel I know Him personally, and I think I’ve got my foundation in order. I’m 35, have a wife and 3 kids under 4, an engineer, a car enthusiast, a football fan, I lift weights semi regularly, and I love Jesus and know with all my heart He alone saves us. It’s is the only thing I know for certain in my heart. Even though I don’t fully understand it. If you’re ever in Melbourne and want to have a normal afternoon, you’re welcome to come to my house and meet my family. I’ll cook you a thick juicy steak on the BBQ. God bless you, I hope you truly find Jesus and I hope you can see what is coming. Be watchful.

[Masada2]

And what, is coming?

[Agneta Sundberg]

Thank you Dr. Peterson for continuing to educate us about important world issues.

[Teareach Vloger]

Good luck

[Dianne van Eijl]

Wow. Dry intelligent conversation and informative discussion!

[Dianne van Eijl]

Deep intelligent conversation. Provocative and stimulating.

[Brad Ferguson]

This is my first exposure to Walter. I have learned so much from this conversation. He really takes time to understand all sides of geopolitical issues and you can tell he is seeking the truth without an agenda.

[Mark Lowenstein]

I absolutely LOVE that two-color coat!!! It truly fits your character and personality Dr. Peterson! You are ROCKING the Matrix and the serial liars at war with the Truth. Keep on fighting the good fight Sir. Much respect. Godspeed!

[general dealing]

I like how they see more problems in other nations but hardly sees their domestic problems.there is more homeless people in US than in all those other nations combined together and yet more money is pumped to not war,priorities are in wrong places.even during covid they shut down everything and made bomb factories essential while there was lack of PPE

[Johnstone72]

This type of content is what KZbin is for. Educational, insightful and hopeful. Great to read so many comments from people who have taken responsibility for their own actions and moved their lives forward. Kudos.

Excellent talk! Thanks a lot!

[Kitty Bitts]

God bless Dr. Jordan Peterson! He's brilliant and God is blessing him with His wisdom.

[yvette kuziel]

Excellent excellent interview I really love the explanations which differ in a small to other experts I’m so glad to hear professor Jordan has changed his tune in regards to Putin! Most people anyway near similar to Putin! If they were I would totally loose hope for humanity!!!

[Rose-Marie Mukarutabana]

You'd wrong, though. Putin is a good leader and a fine human being, and if you are a little patient, you'll see that he'll do a lot of good for humanity. Peterson is just not well informed about Russia and Putin. He can't get out of the heavy US anti-Putin propaganda that envelopes most of the West. Let's hope he finds his way out of this dark cloud.

[BraveDove Vlog]

Hi Jordan, can’t wait to read your book, love your work. There is something so touching about how you discuss women’s psychology. Keep doing your good work.

[Stuart McGregor]

Wisdom & balance. More of this please JBP.

[Akash]

I hope he keeps doing these geopolitical analysis.

[JC Amaterasu]

You Guys Are The Goats Of Knowledge And You Both Are Extremely Reasonable 🙏🏾😤

[Arik Katzenberg]

More in this 2 hour video than in 4 years of college. Thank you, Dr Peterson.

[Genevieve Matte]

It is not for the neighbours to overturn the regime of a country, but for the citizens of that country to realize it!

[JH B]

Mr. Mead is an informed and entertaining speaker. Thank you for giving him the time and space to lay out his answers so thoroughly - and thank you for prompting him with the right questions at the right time.

[Upside down and inside out]

Is this a hint towards a direction that's never ever cool in my from my manly pov as a straight male ? haha 🤔...... again still don't know but I think the beating of the horse has begun it seems idk ?

[Amir Tawfik]

Man! What a political analysis! I am impressed!!!

[Macros The Black]

Great discussion. Thanks for the thought-provoking conversation. One thing that stood out to me was when Walter said "the USA beat Japan in WW2, but we didn't want to stay" I had to laugh. The USA changed Japan's constitution after that war, enforced no Japanese military spending, and still has multiple military bases. The USA has kept Japan bent over a barrel the whole time, and had had continual military presence.

[Gabrielgrace NathanAna]

Right -- but seriously, how can you laugh when you are facing such a lie? Are you sure they are not lying other things? All things? How can you still laugh?

[Lordof Bats]

Excellent conversation I was very impressed

[Olli-lfe]

Hello Dr. Peterson I would love it if you could do a review of the book The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe. It's on the seasonal and cyclical trend of Anglo-American generations dating back to the sixteenth century(generation theory). I believe it would be a very relevant breakdown as it deals with today's current events, thank you.

[Tom Miller]

I’d love to hear this kind of ‘dissection-analysis’ of the current evolution going on in the US republic and it’s quasi ‘democratic’ government and society.

[The Core]

Dr. Peterson, I am constantly in awe of your wisdom and insights. Your ability to convey complex ideas in a clear and relatable manner is truly admirable. Your teachings have been a source of inspiration for me, helping me to take responsibility for my life and make positive changes. Thank you for all that you do.

[Terri B]

What an incredible man, Canadian, and jacket! Thanks JP and family. JP for PM!!!

[Tom Carroll]

Two very intelligent guys having a conversation.

[Patrick O'Brien]

Pleased that you are well. Valuable message from Dr Peterson.
