This guy is like a secular preacher, and he was in just the right place and the right time. I hope he's around for a long time yet. To his health. *clink*

This man is my father I never had

[@coaper1955]

Simanta Dutta thank you daughter, just what i needed today....

[@no1800]

Simanta Dutta you are so silly, you need a psytriatrist.

[@LegendaryStory]

A Psychologist? Psychiatrist?

[@NorthGermanic]

[@lifewasgiventous1614]

Feelings are important, you cannot Escape them and why would you, that’s what makes you human to some sense.

[@truereality84]

Every second of this man’s speech is filled with nuggets of wisdom

nuggets of something

[@jacquesm1652]

run your life like a boss. make the mission statement. break it down. execute. have fun. repeat.

[@deathrodamus9608]

This instruction looked like it came from a video game. LoL 😂🤣

[@jeshvinvisualgraphic]

This goes so fucking deep into self improvement. Everyone who is on this path knows exactly what he's talking about.

[@zatcharybelltucker735]

No doubt man. After healing you really can eat the thing up if you don't have purpose.

[@RTYWLive.Forever]

Mhmm

[@anonimus9921]

i did NOT know what I was getting into when I started on this path. no idea it would be so damn difficult. Jordan has helped tremendously by simply pointing towards great minds of the past.

[@eelbroodeelbrood9558]

Your profanity adds nothing. Grow up.

[@TheAlechoc]

wtf you scared of a word? ahahaha

[@xchn2]

Self-critiques have taken me from emotional poverty to being, mostly, happy. I live in the world of suffering like everyone else but deliberate movement from where I was to where I want to be has saved my life. It all starts by admitting what you aren't good at -- by your standards and in relation to where you want to be, that is.

[@JotaShank]

What if you're not good at some social interactions. Like public speaking, making new friends (talking to strangers whom you should meet), making great impressions, poor self control in stressful/anxious situations? Because that's what I'm struggling with and it can be crippling. I want to master my actions, be a genuine person, have genuine compassion and the courage to act upon it, and not be a quiet sheep just because of shyness, even though I know what should/has to be said or done (even though sometimes I only know after something happens and I don't respond the right way)... I mean, give me some insight, what did you do exactly, to break free?

[@JuliusAhenkora]

Honestly facing your fears is the only way to get over your shyness/anxiety in situations. You wan't to be able to choose your struggle, don't let it manifest into the later years of your life and become a larger dragon that's hard to get rid of in a sense.

I am going to try Future Authoring as soon as I finish cleaning my house and doing my taxes, which are stressful enough on their own. This man has inspired me to do a lot of work. It may be the charming Alberta accent.

[@hr.kontrolminister1468]

Did you need someone to inspire you to do those trivial things? Weak. What is this species becoming?

[@coreycox2345]

My concept was to get the trivial things out of the way first so that I could do the life altering soul searching unencumbered. I have changed my thinking, as a million other trivialities spring up in their place. (I have a lot of problems concentrating on things that bore me.) Well, I haven't tried it yet, but it does not sound like it will result in trivial things. I am hoping to revive some part of my younger self who was out to change the world then was quashed by my older, more realistic self who saw the kind of trouble that one can get in doing this. Except I forgot my login. Maybe I just did it on my own, Mr. Kontrolminister. :)

[@AFO_AnalyRics]

Hr. Kontrolminister Take a chill pill. If you were half as strong as you're trying to sound, you'd understand that nothing - and I mean nothing - is universally trivial.

[@hackrabiyah]

Good for you.

The thing I like most about a worthy speaker are the worthy comments. There's almost none that is not inspiring.

[@retirosierra]

Peter, is that something positive or negative? :)

[@giapponerosso]

Oh yes that s me haha

[@thadonis.]

School asking you what your plans are??? Whats the point in that? How can they expect students to follow a curriculum that clearly doesn't give a shit about their plans or what makes them happy by asking them what their plans are and what makes them happy? School is designed to crush the dreams of kids before they can even hatch. Luckily I spent most of my time skipping school and playing Mario Kart. At least that game actually asked me who I wanted to be. I usually chose Bowser or Donkey Kong.

[@jorayx]

ThAdonis Toad and Princess Peach all day. Never understood how the fatties kept up.

[@thadonis.]

jorayx- Bowser or Kong had the highest top speed. They were the pro's choice, especially for time trials.

[@jorayx]

ThAdonis that explains why I never could take my cousin 😅

[@ThePiones]

This is too good mate. "At least that game actually asked me who I wanted to be"

[@thadonis.]

ThePiones cheers mate. Rock on.

[@Mejren5]

"Justify your existence." That's my new line. Credits to Dr. Peterson ofcourse.

[@687805]

I almost daily analyze if I'm worth more alive than my life insurance policy would be for my family... Yeah, not the best outlook possibly, but it does motivate me somewhat :)

[@687805]

Daniel Sepulveda - yes, possibly (for sure) not the best way to view it. But given my upbringing and previous experiences it connects with me. Though I don't need luck. I need a good, swift kick in the ass. Hopefully I will find a good mentor that can help me. Thanks for the well wishes.

[@mnbvcxz1994]

make sure you add the link for the full lecture

[@Fuliginosus]

I like how he uses the Bible as a jumping-off point then goes off in unexpected directions.

[@Fuliginosus]

I deeply regret your lack of support, and wish there was some way I could make it up to you--short of using the words "launch pad."

I see no reason not to link to the full lecture in the description... All forthright and such

Thanks for this video. We have to count the cost.

[@whoever_81]

7:47 _everything else in the hierarchy should be subordinate to the thing that pays attention and learns._ Well yes. That has many names like: pure consciousness, awareness, the Watcher on the hills, the Observer. Alert attention without judgement. The space in which everything manifests.

Hi Will, hoping you'll see this comment. Where is clip excerpted from? Thanks!!

[@boneheaded9751]

Being an introvert it seems that you're more prone to assess who and what you are more readily, compared to extroverts. That said, being that we're human and inundated with so much information in a lifetime ...let alone on a daily basis.. assessing who and what you are isn't a one and done thing. And for that matter, your life goals. It seems to me this should be done maybe every two or three years. Maybe even more often, or less often, depending on age.

[@Tsymar]

Bone Headed I've been thinking maybe start making quarterly reports of our lives and assess what we've done and progress made

[@DetectiveAndrey]

Okay, I won't eat my brain. : D

Because you are time versus space.. ultimately

Whaaat, the hydra digests its own brain when it no longer needs it! Does this happen to people as well? :D

Maybe you thought ( & could say something) about « ant mills » ; when they lose the pheromone track and begin following one another, forming a continuously rotating circle… until they die.

[@coreycox2345]

How does this happen?

I don't know...

[@coreycox2345]

Interesting comment on dysfunctional ants, though Beatrice de Laat. It seems that if we knew what caused them to lose the scent, we would know what would get them back on track. Behaviourist Robert Sapolsky talks about the group intelligence of ants, which I found fascinating. They will choose the most efficient transportation routes between several points as well as sophisticated engineering models by the numbers of trips that they make between them. I had not realised ants were so smart.

In fact, I know a lot about ants because I read the trilogy ("The Ants") of Bernard Werber ;) And, as for this dysfunctional behavior of ants, he wrote that it's the same for humans ; if one isn't aware of what our situation is, we can't go ahead & die...

I've put sexual selection at the top of my hierarchy. It makes sense to me. Gives me meaning and makes me pursue health and wisdom and happiness.

[@whaledog9236]

I already ate my brain.. any suggestions??

[@misterrious2314]

So what if you skipped the development that "normal" people do at 2 years old, most of it until puberty and you end up being the said King, but recognizing your social contacts as those "subsets of personality"(because lots of siblings, but no real "parents"). The first Part keeps you from properly growing up and the second moves you into solitude, cuz nobody wants to reflect and grow, but just make money. So you end up as a Shaman, spiritual leader sort of person, but you now have no more social contacts to live this out. People abandoned you because you couldnt take care of yourself and were focused on their mental health and needs instead of your own. Lots of unresolved Traumata, lots of mental illnesses that run in the family and you reflected on and came up with solutions, same in social, math, IT etc like analytic stuff. No will of your own, but the old "romantic" love, that left cuz she couldnt take it anymore either. The only proper solution you can come up with is to escape reality and live in a dream world, but cant be "saved" from there because the only person you really would have motivation for has long forgotten you and moved on. Its like, you realize you are stuck, but once you go back to reality it just crushes you and anyone who wants to help you too, while you try to not burden them and restarting the circle, simply because you feel bad about living through their emotions instead of your own, cuz you stopped perceiving them to not go insane in the first place. A proper Therapy for this guy would take longer than he has left to live and a proper existing place to put him in that can at least accomodate for some of who he is doesnt seem to exist unless a whole community is willing to bow to him, or evolve around him. What if there are people, that just dont wanna, or cannot be fixed? Ive seen some of them in Asylums, made to suffer for the rest of their lives, treated like animals. What if keeping someone alive doesnt just become inhumane towards society (criminals), but inhumane towards himself and society.

[@micssr]

Woah, I didn't know I skipped the developmental period at 2 years of age or whatever but you kinda described my situation frighteningly accurately.... I don't know what to think now. Maybe I needed this. Thank you anyways for provoking thought

[@micssr]

Btw I'm 23 and I think there is time for me to fix things

Ignorance and nescience. You never know death from. Life

[@karlpilkington997]

Why is it he assumes that you're doing something wrong if you're in pain, misery, living a malevolent tragedy? It's just going back to the same old idea that bad experience means you're doing something wrong. That is the easiest way to gain blind followers... You just claim they are doing something wrong because they feel bad Actually in this society, we live in a way that is totally backwards to the environments we evolved in, tribal environments where the tribe was the centre of the Universe and we were in constant dialogue with the forest that sustained us and in constant dialogue with the other people who, maybe we would otherwise just drift away from, but who, in the forest they sustain us and are our family... It's no surprise if you are unhappy and lets be honest... It probably means that your mind is more suited to tribal existence and you just aren't one of the ones who has an 'evolved' brain to live in society today. The direction of the human race is changing drastically. This guy talks like he knows the direction you as an individual should take in order to discover your true problems but that is a lie. Look at what he talk about, he reduces the human mind to that of a machine. All the statements he makes 'do this and you become this' spoken with authority as if he knows for certain and you're clearly 100% wrong to think otherwise. He is just the equally destructive, other side of the coin to postmodernism that he talks against

[@KillerKabel]

Karl Pilkington in his other talks he's elaborated on what he's saying here. He's not assuming you'll live a miserable existence without setting real goals, he's saying setting those goals are very likely to improve things for you. He's stated that the world and to a degree the culture will always kinda be against you, and that life is a struggle. But what he adds to that is that you can find a path that's so meaningful that it minimizes the terrible aspects of life.

[@lukesimonson5514]

Seems to me you're just trying to shoehorn him into a bit part in your own malevolent tragedy rather than listen to him and think about what he is actually saying. He's saying use your head and keep your wits about you and elaborating on what that means and why you will probably be better off if you did. If that suggestion upsets you it says a lot more about you than it does about him.

[@3511putman]

Like to read more about what you say in your third paragraph, Karl Pilkington.

[@vinayseth1114]

There's no place for individuality in tribal societies. Hence no scientific breakthroughs- the progress of the tribe remains confined to the average intellect of the tribe, instead of being steered forward by the gifted.

[@richk9126]

Karl, all he is saying is that you get a grip on your own life. What's wrong with that?

[@kamilm119]

Sounds good, but in fact it's a nonsense. Not only the world has no meaning, but you cannot effectively sustain happiness for longer time.

[@kamilm119]
