Unlock your potential and transform your life 2024: bit.ly/49Ju62g
Can humanity ever truly overcome evil? Can personal responsibility truly shape destiny in an interconnected world? Can society survive without traditional masculine virtues? Consider this your warning…
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a renowned psychologist, author, and online educator here to help us navigate the complex layers of thought, emotion, and spirit that compose the human condition. A Canadian clinical psychologist by profession, Jordan carved a unique path that intertwined academic rigor with deep reflections on morality, meaning, and belief.
In today’s thought-provoking episode, Jordan is answering deep questions about life, purpose, and the potential for human transformation.
We touch on:
- The line between good and evil
- Healthy vs. toxic masculinity
- Social media's role in society's rapid transformation
- Personal responsibility and the pursuit of meaning
- Cultural castration of men
- Human suffering and wrestling with God
- The challenges of conveying wisdom through religious narratives
- The OnlyFans dynamic
- Genuine religious pursuit vs. exploitation for tyrannical ends
- Victimhood narratives and moral superiority
From the depths of human nature and the potential for totalitarianism, to the power of religious and philosophical insights in understanding the complexities of life, Jordan and I delve into the complex landscape of human psychology, ideology, and the search for meaning.
Don’t miss this journey into the heart of what it means to be human, and confront your beliefs, fears, and moral compass in this episode of Impact Theory.

Powerful Insights From Dr. Jordan B. Peterson:
"If you don't believe in something like the ultimate reality of evil, it's just the Nazis went about things a slightly different way. Who's to say what's right or wrong?"
"It's no wonder that we believe in the union of diversity when we believe that a man can be a woman. If we believe those things, there's nothing we won't swallow, no camel too big to go down our throats, no totalitarian lie we won't rush to embody."
“There's a vertical axis of orientation upward towards God, mediated by tradition, and there's a horizontal axis that's part of the ongoing conversation and consensus of the moment."
"And so the world of images is going to have the same networked structure as the world of words that the LLMs have modeled. Soon the LLms will be able to model the world of images and soon they'll be able to lay them on top of one another."
"...everything you give away, you'll get back if you give it away in the right spirit."
"You give more than you're called upon to give, even to your enemies. Why? Because there is no better strategy than that by any stretch of the imagination…How could you possibly put anything in a more solid bank than in the goodwill you generated in the embodied imaginations of other people? That's the kingdom."

[@chrisjswanson]

I thought Tom did a great job, and this is one of the best interviews with Peterson I've seen in quite a while. Peterson is well known for getting excited and interrupting, and Tom is always well prepared to interview his guests. Peterson says himself that we've all got our weaknesses and blind spots. He also makes a regular point that we'd do well to look for the meaning instead of focusing on how it's packaged. Do I wish Peterson was slightly more tempered in his verbal pacing? Sure - (maybe we ought to take another look at meditation, and the propositional framework that traditional schools developed within, JP 😉). Does this devalue the messages or conceptual structure that he seems to be indicating towards? Not at all. Very few people are able to encounter an utterly relative and chaotic universe, within which human experience is but a tiny flame of apparent structure burning entropy as fuel; and declare the process of illuminating as a truth itself, inherently worthy. There is no greater courage than to look into darkness, and if there is no light to be found, choose to create it as an act of faith. Thanks Tom and Jordan; brilliant, humble, and inspiring. I'd love to see a round 2 sometime.

Brother, the wisdom, metaphors and knowledege being shared are all profound and deep. I have to replay several parts just to partially undestand and internalize some of the things Peterson is saying. It's a talk about philosophy, theology, psychology, ethics, bussiness and decision making all in one. Awesome and hard as hell to comprehend by listening just once :D

Great episode. Peterson is an incredible force of reckoning The ones who have discovered him and listen to him are better off then those who don't. He shows you how to see. What you do with it is up to you. The "dead language/slogan " thing blew my mind. I could never articulate why "Black Lives Matter" felt like something cooked up around a think tank table.....and now I know it's dead language. Work will set you free....it all makes sense now

I wonder if people will ever realize that it is impossible to have good with out evil.

[@EricWhitcomb]

Most people already regurgitate some form of "you can't know the good without the bad," so most already think the way you do. It is, however, a slogan and meaningless. Using actual logic, the presence of both a good and an evil is a trinary, not binary. A binary state is present and not present, good and absence of good. The absence of good is not the same as evil, it is neutral or null. The presence of evil is a third state and is not a contrast to good. Again, the only thing needed to contrast from good is not good (neutral). What most cannot deal with and rarely are challenged on, is what the presence of evil says about the actual design of the Universe and what it says of any entity that potentially made this Universe.

[@offensivearch]

​@@EricWhitcomb "The absence of good is not the same as evil" Some would say that it is. I have heard theologians declare just this. Anyway, this entire line of dialogue is not useful to me. It is hypostatization. If you invent a concept, you can invent rules and properties about it. It may be "logical", but it is not rational. Without knowing the concept exists independently, we are just playing games with our imagination. David Hume and other philosophers have addressed your last question.

[@azurec6001]

Just the Taoists

[@dkmorelia5381]

@@EricWhitcomb I disagree. First of all you're just parroting "slogan" from Peterson, and that's not even what he meant by that. Secondly, By doing "good" you are simultaneously not doing evil. There is no neutral act. There are varying degrees of each, but none that are truly neutral. This is because good and evil is subject to what your goals are individually and as a society. The base definition for Good/evil is Beneficial/Non-Beneficial. But the notion that you can have one with out the other is asinine because opposition must exist in all things. I think it's safe to say that majority of people, especially westerners, believe in objective good and evil, same as you. I assure you I am an outlier.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism.

[@jesseb5076]

100% Yeah there’s not an addiction that is ever positive. By definition an addiction is where you are mentally and emotionally and some times physically attached to one thing that comes over everything else …. No matter what cost.

[@Justineyedia]

@jesseb5076 too much of anything is a bad thing. So is too little though. Not enough is a deficiency and too much is and excess. That's disease

[@Justineyedia]

Addiction is too much of something but the disease comes from either too much (an excess) of something or not enough. (A deficiency) these are what cause most "dis-ease".

[@Domzdream]

You’re in a pickle if you’re addicted to being addicted 😆

[@Justineyedia]

@Domzdream we are all addicts. We overdue everything. And while we are overdoing these things, we are not getting enough of whatever we do need. I am in recovery since 2015. I am addicted to not being addicted and that makes me very passive because I am afraid of compulsion. So sometimes I can't pay attention for too long. I concentrate really fast and let go of topics. I am just very impulsive. I have character defects, personal deficiencies and inadequacy and for that I used to fill the void chemicals and substances to cope and self medicate. This mode of existence keeps us in stress induced fight or flight where the ego is inflated (anxious) and deflated (depressed) and balance is hard and even more so, hard to recover when I overcompensate. I feel we are all just overcompensating for our inferiorities, feelings of insecurity, inadequacy and powerlessness.

[@ChrisJohansonOfficial]

Can't believe it took almost 20 minutes for Tom to say, "GIve me some space." I appreciate and respect Jordan Peterson immensely, but his constant interruptions while Tom is trying to direct the conversation, and his incessant need to insert complex nuance while Tom is trying to simplify for the audience is making this one hard to listen to.

Its speaking to the archetypal knowledge embedded on a deeper level of my psyche. Its uniting my implicit knowledge with my explicit knowledge.

Dr. Peterson touches on the profundity that, although one may not believe in God, one's rejection of God's existence does not remove Him from existence. The Apostle Paul preaches on this idea in Acts 17:16-34. God is not far from anyone, rather, we choose to run from Him.
