Nietzsche gets famous for saying something casually and easy to misinterpret. Sounds like he would have been amazing in today's time with Twitter existing

[@philosonic]

Casually? No. Do you even know which book this quote appears in? It's easy to misinterpret because of the vast mediocrity of scholars who think philosophy is easy to dabble in and thus quickly draw conclusions on what they read without challenging their convictions. Dr. Peterson, while saying this quote is always taken out of context (which it is), never actually put it into context in the video. It is ideal to provide context before reading the quote or work to understand its position in history (the historical moment/environment in which it was created) as well as the quote's position and relationship to other parts of the book in which it is found. If Dr. Peterson did this he would have a much more clear understanding and better interpretation than what he says in this video.

[@Petrovich2049]

@Sarah Die I still don't understand what Nietzsche meant. I don't even see how Peterson connects his speech to the quote.

[@Whistrash]

@Sarah Die Didn't Nietzsche go insane later in his life? So wouldn't that mean that his philosophy on life is clearly wrong as he got led down to chaos for saying that a belief system in good and evil will lead to chaos? Or am I misinterpreting something?

Do any of you notice how when you look at people who've typically gone through a lot of heartache throughout their life, it really shows on their face? I don't know everything Jordan Peterson has gone through, but a career in psychology and counselling is common among people who've personally suffered in their own lives as well. One could argue we all suffer in different ways; it's the human condition (which is true), but I'm talking specifically like REAL tragedy, like real unbearable, twisted pain. I know this doesn't have a lot to do with the video, but as soon as I really took a look at the way his face looked, it reminded me of the faces of people I've met who've struggled with abuse, neglect, or loss.

But does that mean we need to delude ourselves? If by belief you mean believing ideas that are backed by evidence, then I agree. But to believe in something that has no evidence, EVEN if it’s somehow psychologically satisfying, is nothing but intellectual dishonesty and likely a waste of time (since further advancement may be hindered by the time wasted on a delusion).

I had been a Christian for many years, and though I am no longer involved with religion, I still wonder how people can justify their religious beliefs. Self-delusion may be part of it. Perhaps people cannot cope with the idea that there is no intrinsic good or evil in existence. I just don't know.

[@dannydav709]

@@avalonjustin I think what people cannot cope with is uncertainty. We see it in day to day life. We do everything to try to eliminate uncertainty; getting a stable job, insurance policies, systemized law enforcement, etc. But it's never enough, especially since there's no insurance policy on death, so throughout history, in almost every religion, we made a story about an after life, because it just cannot end. Religion is the biggest uncertainty reliever ever, saying there's an almighty being that can just do it all, and will take care of you. Of course, this argument I''m making doesn't say there exists or doesn't exists a god... that's a question you have to answer with evidence or lack-thereof. But knowing that not all religions/gods are true/exists, we can at least explain why humans made up those religions/gods we know aren't true/exist. Thats my take.

[@shaunkerr8721]

@@dannydav709 What happens when you challenge the evidence and find that all scientific theories and laws are based on presuppositions and all mathematical proofs are based on axioms? I am not saying they are on par w religious teachings but I am saying that science has provided us w nothing that even approaches the Platonic cannons of knowledge. Science tells us how things are/were and does not say anything on how things should be. Ex. Science can tell us about climate change but what we should do about it is a question science is silent on as it is a moral/ethical question and science is silent on those issues. As such, we cannot form ideas of society based on evidence from science which is A. Incomplete and B. Silent on the issues at hand. Religion, politics, etc. is an illusion needed by weak ppl to give their lives teleology and meaning. The stronger ppl generate their own meaning and have fewer illusions while also generating their own morality.

His point here seems to be less, how to put it, hyperbolic then stuff he says when he got famous. He seems to be saying that having a value-system or set of moral beliefs is always better than not having one because without a value-system you 1) can't make decisions and 2) your life has no purpose . He also seems to be saying that some value systems are better then others, his example here being some sort of left wing value system being not as good as some other kind of one which he doesn't specifie. What I really don't get is why he thinks that value-systems or moral beliefs have to be based on axiomatic values. To me, this seems to be the most unnietzchean aspect of what he is advocating for here. For nietzsche it seems that belief in God was belief in something like a fundamental, universal principle which ultimately turned out to have nihilist consequences. It seems to me that Nietsches endorsement of creation of new values, transvaluation of all values and eternal reaccurance are all opposed to the idea of something like an 'axiomatic value'. Axioms seem part and parcel of what nietzche sees as old metaphysical dogmas about absolute, eternal truths that have some kind of purity to them existing apart from everything else and above everything else. It seems more than JP agrees with Ns diagnosis that the absence of religious belief creates moral problems that are not adequately solved by rationality (i.e. moral theories such as deontology, utilitarianism, ect) but perhaps for the opposite reason that N thinks so as N sees that kind of rationality as still holding on to a metaphysical view of truth as unconditionally valuable and independent of live and historical processes of evaluation while JP seems to be implying that it rational approaches to morality aren't absolute enough or something. JP like N does approach from a psychological standpoint, JP seems concerned with relation between moral belief and life as it is lived rather than morality in the abstract but unwilling to explore the consequences of a philosophy which embraces psychologism in the way that N is.

[@tse2be]

If he paused, he would notice that the chaos is not chaos altogether.

[@zilchbupkis3109]

One of the most important lectures I’ve ever seen

[@Thejampacker]

What are these sounds effects? I feel like I’m a detective finding clues.

[@hououinkyouma9438]

Anyone got a year for when he gave this lecture?

The reason why a system of belief is important. Not just religion, not just a way of thinking. Not only your beliefs.

Probably my favourite Peterson clip translating the words of a great intellectual predecessor. I feel that when he's teaching his own material for maps of meaning he can occasionally become excessively verbose or run down too many tangents because of the sheer quantity of information in that book... but here he is concise

[@cameronburnard2301]

Yes but he takes Nietzsche from a micro view rather than a macro one... In The Gay Science, book 4, aphorism 343 he provides a different angle of this aphorism of the madman (Gay Science aphorism 125). He suggests that to those free spirits it is possible for some men - for these free spirits are not numerous - to now create new moralities now this metaphysical truth - this "God" - has been proven unbelievable alongside all the moral convictions that went along with it. The death of god is portrayed positively (in the aphorism 343) but negatively (for the "herd", those who believed in this aforementioned metaphysical universal truth which cannot be believed; without their moral "sun" to anchor them in place - the sun as both this moral anchor keeping them on course and as a source of "enlightenment" hence knowledge - these people suffer and fall into nihilism). So we could have done exactly what Peterson did and only focus on 343 if it fit our agenda; however that would be disingenuous. What does that make Peterson then? He did this out of ignorance - let's assume hanlonz razor - just this once in a very non-major way. What are other ways that he did it?

I can hear the Seinfeld bass as he walks

In some sence Nietzsche only popularized what dostoyevsky already wrote. But Nietzsches ideas are profoundly authoritarian
