I just discovered him - and I think that might well be true. It is awesome to listen to someone with whom you can't escape confronting one's own reality.

If he isn't blocked and censored from every snowflake libtard-owned media outlets.

[@MrTempest2009]

Some might say he already has.

Can you imagine having a teacher like this in college.

[@MrSdsok]

I probably did, but I wouldn't have appreciated them at the time.

[@nathanpilgrim-howe3238]

Most teachers are parrots of the curriculum. He truly cares and draws on so many things.

I had really good teachers at uni. Not all of them so emotionally open but it worked for the most part. There were some horrible professors though...

[@aloevera7422]

memento mori. at the end of your life you will wish you hadn't spent so much of it with alongside your own resentment and hatred

[@stormwarning9182]

Aloe Vera so true! My 18 year old niece died from cancer and before she died she forgave the two biggest monsters in her life - a mother with a narcissistic personality disorder and a father who believed blindly in the child's obligation to never question a parent, which forced her to suffer her mother's emotional abuse. Once she knew her inescapable fate, she let go of the paralysing aspects of resentment and hatred. Partly she did so because we did research on how stress is related to cancer, but also she hoped her act of forgiving them would change them for the better. Her parents continued their dysfunctional behaviour but she had overcome the suffering her parents inflicted...please don't wait to let go of resentment and anger. Do your best to do it now, for yourself!

[@Ab_someone]

John Voet me too.. most of us

[@cold4365]

Take on responsibility and resentment will fade. im sure he says something like that as well. And Hatred is apart of responsibility, but its also shows what you are aiming at in the responsibility if you are even. Are you aiming at the Star or everything you hate along the way to get there or that is shoved in the way you walk it.. Are you in the center of the Wheel or Being spun by all the life of suffering. Take for example, The Pain of running, or being hurt. Or Someone did something that betrayed or hurt but whats the root responsibility you are aiming at and how much does that have to do with what you are hating, and again then if it does have something related to the Responsibility. TAKE AIM Not at the Star you can do, not what cant be

[@adamwesley71]

Fight through it, guys. The rewards are great.

Interesting. When asked "what is the meaning of life?" Jordan Peterson's answer is: *A meaningful life.*

[@laggrenade863]

I think they cut the important part off the front lol

[@rickrandom6734]

Of course everybody knows, life has no meaning or purpose. You just have to find some illusion of meaning and purpose you like.

The atmosphere in that lecture hall became so deep and beautifully engaged by the end. Absolutely fantastic, this is easily one of my favourite JP clips.

[@420MrGreenthumbs]

Peterson, you are so very insightful. I am the typical man you are speaking of. At my previous place of employment I felt like a caged animal because I did not want to be there. I have since quit, returned to school and started a business which is just starting to take off. It is so important to be able to make the choice of which responsibility and which load you want to bear. Then you can pick something truly meaningful to you. I have never had anyone explain how I felt and what I was going through in such a clear and logical manner. I did not understand what I was going through until listening to you. Thank you for helping me organize my thought patterns. You help bring meaning to my life and I have a deep respect for what your are trying to do. The world needs more men like you. For everyone's sake, keep up the good work! You're word will echo throughout the eons.

[@Tyler-nj5dr]

Can I have job? Thanks.

[@philgillmartin5053]

Richard B agreed, applies to the celebs I’ve met who are up their own thingies - it’s enlightening to find that Peterson doesn’t fit the norm.

[@deckadad1809]

Confront chaos man. Lets make the world a better place by sorting it out. Also, notification squad!

[@CruzzioXT]

What else do you have to do? He makes a really good point here. You either resentfully deny life and live as if you might as well be dead, or you actually choose to live by actively taking the steps that are necessary in order to be a life confirming person. And you do this by acknowledging the necessity of suffering if you choose to live. As Albert Camus correctly stated, the only logical alternative to this is suicide. Denying yourself meaning by refusing to accept suffering is denying yourself any hope for a glimpse of happiness in this life.

[@fruitsalad6632]

CruzzioXT summed it up perfectly.

[@MrTempest2009]

well put

[@ryleygaron6715]

Isn't it ironic that the denial of suffering brings about the ultimate suffering, and the acceptance of suffering is the path to ultimate intrinsic meaning?

[@Lukindyr]

im 26, right now im struggling.. On one side, i wish someone like him told me these things he says in lectures before, my house was full of dragons, my family is full of dragons, i got a big dragon and i cant keep peter-paning. On the other side, im glad i found this right now, i hope i can steer my life, make it meaningful, and if i fail, at least i will do it acknowledging everything and that it wasnt as meaningful as it should've been but here and there, meaning was found, given and taken.

‘Reduce the damn responsibility until it’s tolerable’. One of if not his greatest pieces of advice. How many more would get started if they realised it was okay to adopt this when making a start? I know plenty.

Humanity's problems solved in 21 minutes! Most useful video I ever watched.

[@MrLawrencecorn]

To what end though? Life has 3 options in my view... Escapism, trying, giving up. Even with escapism (drugs, video games, or whatever thing that distracts you from the mundane painful experience of existing). Your're left with reality right after the escape ends. Trying can only go on for so long before you start to lose sight of the point of trying in the first place.

If just one of my dozens of teachers from kindergarten to university would have had the decency to say this to me, it would have helped more than anything I've ever been taught by them combined... but alas, in the words of Jordan Peterson himself...

I would of loved to have had him as a professor in college! I appreciate his candor and the way he sticks it to ya.

[@bassnippert]

"Responsibility is the ability to respond" is a quote from Milton Erickson that I learned from Steven Hoskinson, who does amazing work on healing trauma. I believe this is highly related to Peterson's point: healing childhood and intergenerational trauma that keeps us stuck in fight/flight/freeze (and therefore dis-ables us to respond to the environment) will finally enable us to again re-orient to the here-and-now and to the future (in the sense described by Peterson and in the biological, literal sense of having an online orientation response and social engagement system) and therefore make us able to respond -- responsible -- to the world that we live in. This responsibility is greatly enjoyable because 1. it is by definition a state of 'mindfulness' / being present / living in the here-and-now and 2. we re-connect with our shared humanity and we can experience the broader interdependence with all of life. Those are intrinsic and deeply meaningful experiences of connection to others that I believe invoke an irrepressible sense of compassion -- and a natural responsibility to one another.

[@sirgalalot88]

This man is life.

[@nickmagrick7702]

of all the talks ive heard from him so far, I think this is the best. It really gets at the core of what it means to be, I think

[@handssolo7980]

Life and living, are not for the faint of heart.

[@ReubenAStern]

In the first thirty seconds, he's just explained why I get bored of most albums within a week, but listen to some on repeat for years!! I never knew why that was.

[@Thomassina1]

Is one of his most useful lectures. More parents should speak to their kids like this, tell them how life actually works so they can make better good for themselves. 2:50 you don't take responsibility for things you don't accept, only for things you do accept. Intolerable vulnerability. Cain externalized responsibility for his life. Accept responsibility for the catastrophe of life and transcend it. You're strong enough to do it but just don't know it. Don't let what you are stop you from being what you could be. Aim at the star you can see. Play a straight game. A sense of meaning will elevate your pathway. Responsibility makes life meaningful. It's worth it. Paradoxically, the solution lies in the acceptance of life mortality. Summary at 13:50 15:30 you are all in it.

[@arjunaleri2569]

"...thing about being alive is that your all in. No matter what you do, this is gunna kill you. So i think you might as well play the most magnificent game you can, while your waiting. Do you really have anything better to do?" I couldnt imagine, as a current university student, a professor saying something so profound in a lecture that it would immediately take effect on my life the way this quote did.

[@beckyholston]

Just one point that needs clearing up in general: the Hindu swastika is all used all over India and Nepal, and it usually "points" the same was the Nazi swastika does. The Nazis didn't "reverse" it. I don't know what it's doing on the Buddha there at 04:28, but that's not the norm.

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

Every life has meaning. The sad part is because a person means nothing to me or someone else doesnt mean they have no meaning. They may mean the world to someone else. The important thing is living your life the way it makes you happy and your filling fulfilled. Don't live your life the way society says you need to so that you can have meaning. Do you. Be happy, follow your interests, enjoy your hobbies, and find those that relate.

The first few minutes when JP mentions music; I`m like damn hes exact on that: `Cavatina` (The Deerhunter Soundtrack) Which I learnt on Guitar and actually studied the hand stylizations watching John Williams play it (Live 1979 version) at the time amazed me so much I took on the challenge: Once I had `mastered` it I played it quite a lot then forgot about it: Then I went to play it on Guitar last week; as it came up recommended: I got to a mid point in it and forgot the next little nuance which locked me out of the rest of the play through: Strange.......

“The answer to the problem of humanity is the integrity of the individual, that’s the answer. And states that are predicated on that Realisation are healthy, and states that aren’t are doomed to stagnation and catastrophic collapse, And Personalities that are predicated on self tyranny and the tyranny of others are doomed, and doomed to collapse, And then you think we’ll what’s the barrier, and the barrier is are you willing to accept the responsibility? And part of the answer to that is reduce the damn responsibility until it’s tolerable, you don’t have to fix everything at once, you could just start by fixing the things that you can fix, you could even do it with less self sacrificing, you could do it by fixing only the things you wanna fix, you could get a massive way that way, so do it! see what happens, that’s what you should have been taught in the University right from the beginning, aim at the highest good, tool yourself into something that can attain it, and go out there and manifest it in the world, and everything that comes your way will be a blessing, and so all you have to do is give up your resentment and your hatred, I know that that’s a hard thing to give up, because you have plenty of reason for it.” So much in such a few words, amazing work, I hope more people get this message. So let’s fix ourselves and work on ourselves, and maybe then we are ready to talk about climate change, religion, and wars and conflicts.

The solution to human problems is the integrity of individuals. States advance where these individual predominate, those that not stagnate or go backwards.

When I think of having responsibility in the context he's describing I think of being a provider for a family. Now that I've started my career and have a good foundation, and sowed my wild oats and got in touch with my self, I'm ready to be a provider. Just one problem. I'm now too old to attract anyone to provide for. Guess I'll just get a bunch more cats and provide for them instead.

Happiness by Priscilla Leonard lyrics to song by Barbara Smoot Happiness is like a crystal, Fine, exquisite and clear, Broken in a million pieces, Scattered far and near. Now and then along life's pathway, Some shining fragments fall; But there are so many pieces No one finds them all. You may find a bit of beauty, Or an honest share of wealth, While another beside you Gathers honor, love or health. Vain to choose or grasp unduly, Broken is the perfect ball; But there are so many pieces No one finds them all. Yet the wise as on they journey Treasure every fragment clear, And fit them best together, Imaging the shattered sphere, Learning ever to be thankful, Though their part of it is small; For there are so many pieces No one finds them all.
