Jordan Peterson: "Life without truth is Hell"

His way of thinking and his humbleness amaze me. You, good sir, are a role model. Thank you for inspiring all generations. We need more like you.

Truth is THE AMAZING superpower! Don’t lie to God, self, or others- you will thrive!

[@Crookqt]

You let go of what you want and you replace it with faith "doesn't matter what I want because I dont know even what I should want" If I tell the truth as carefuly as I can then what ever happens Is the best that could have possibly happen in that situation no matter how it looks. Bravery of adventure and the assumption that what ever happen will be the right thing, faith. You don't care what happens. - To align your soul with the structure of being. Expedient vs meaningful doing.

[@junevandermark952]

While conversing with another woman about religion, her defense was that those in churches give each other "support." I agreed, and when I asked her if what they teach within the church is based on truth, she informed me that "truth" comes in many layers. That was news to me, as I always thought that only lies came in layers.

[@thuswaldner1]

When Jesus was talking to the the religious people of the day (pharisees) he called them a pack of snakes (brood of vipers)! No doubt some (many) people and even church leaders today tell lies under the banner of Christianity. Jesus had harsh warnings for them. The way I see it, real truth may have different layers but they are all parallel and congruent with one another and never contradictory. Layers of lies are not; they are often contradictory. Jesus said, "Seek the truth and it will set you free."

[@junevandermark952]

@@thuswaldner1 Don't you find it questionable, that now even one Christian theologian has ever bragged of owning a signature, or any other words written in the hand of the supposed savior Jesus, at a time when men were all writing by hand? From what I studied, in order to start a new religion, those men had to create a son for the monotheistic god, because within the mythology, the "head" god was created by the Jews, for Jewish use only. The savior of Christians, was just the most "recent" savior-myth story. Example as follows, from the book, and please note how Chrishna was spelled, before the Christians came up with the word Christ, and how the Hindus then changed the spelling of their supposed savior to "Krishna." The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors … Christianity before Christ, by Kersey Graves … first published in 1875. and finally these twenty Jesus Christs (accepting their character for the name) laid the foundation for the salvation of the world, and ascended back to heaven. 1. Chrishna of Hindostan. 2. Budha Sakia of India. 3. Salivahana of Bermuda 4. Zulis, or Zhule, also Osiris and Orus, of Egypt. 5. Odin of the Scandinavians. 6. Crite of Chaldea. 7. Zoroaster and Mithra of Persia. 8. Baal and Taut, “the only Begotten of God,” of Phenicia. 9. Indra of Thibet. 10. Bali of Afghanistan. 11. Jao of Nepaul. 12. Wittoa of the Bilingonese. 13. Thammuz of Syria. 14. Atys of Phrygia. 15. Xamolxis of Thrace. 16. Zoar of the Bonzes. 17. Adad of Assyria. 18. Deva Tat,aud Sammonocadam of Siam. 19. Alcides of Thebes. 20. Mikado of the Sintoos. 21. Beddru of Japan. 22. Hesus or Eros, and Bremrillah, of the Druids. 23. Thor, son of Odin, of the Gauls. 24. Cadmus of Greece. 25. Hil and Feta of the Mandaites. 26. Gentaut and Quexalcote of Mexico. 27. Universal Monarch of the Sibyls. 28. Ischy of the Island of Formosa. 29. Divine teacher of Plato. 30. Holy One of xaca. 31. Fohi and Tien of China. 32. Adonis, son of the virgin Io of Greece. 33. Ision and Quirinus of Rome. 34. Prometheus of Caucasus. 35. Mohammud, or Mahomet, of Arabia. These have all received divine honors, have nearly all been worshiped as Gods, or sons of Gods; were mostly incarnated as Christs, Saviors, Messiahs, or Mediators; not a few of them were reputedly born of virgins; some of them filling a character almost identical with that ascribed by the Christian’s bible to Jesus Christ; many of them like him, are reported crucified; and all of them, taken together, furnish a prototype and parallel for nearly every important incident and wonder-inciting miracle, doctrine and precept recorded in the New Testament, of the Christian’s Savior. Surely, with so many Saviors the world cannot, or should not, be lost.

I love Jordan, but for the record, the historical existence of Jesus Christ is much more certain than the historical existence of Socrates. We only have two independent sources on Socrates, whereas we have at least five sources from allies of Christ (the Gospels plus the letters of St. Paul), and one of them, the Gospel According to St. Luke, mentions many more that were floating around at the time, and we have many from opposing writers who mention Christ, such as Josephus, Seutonius, and Tacitus. The Crucifixion is one of the best attested historical events from the ancient world. There is no debate amongst serious scholars regarding the historical reality of Jesus Christ.

To know Truth is to have firstly mistaken it as a lie so as to realize the inherent nature of blind consciousness in Man and his hidden transcendent quality to a spirit of Truth. To "try" is the state of mind still in need to be free of the lie.

[@geoff1121]

I don't know your exact situation, but I would suggest that not lying does not equate to telling the truth. Telling the truth involves a proactive element to seek out your truth then express it. One could not lie but at the same time not speak the truth by staying silent or evasive. Besides, where we put our attention is important. An emphasis on "not lying" puts you on the defensive/passive. Much better to focus on the "truth" and be encouraging to express yourself.

1:45 to 2:02 prox, is a secular parallel to certain religiously framed claims to much the same effect. "Thy Will be done", in this case, is an appeal to (per Peterson's hypothesis) the notion that the truth as a best understanding and honest relating of one's best perceptions and understandings without ulterior motivation, will set one socially and morally free. This then, as opposed to a sheer will to power expressed by a being which cannot even under its own postmodernist terms, define itself anthropologically. The subjectivity of the pure will-to-power type, makes him captive to his own welling impulses; impulses which he cannot really explain in inter-subjectively meaningful terms, nor even properly call his own insofar as he denies his own intrinsic teleology, and thus, an objective identity. [Fashionable or agenda driven] Epistemological skepticism, leads it seems to extreme subjectivity, to the eventual dis-integration or decoherence of the subject, and to that subject's [or what remains of it] entrapment in a hell of its own generation. The interviewer has it right: Peterson is profound.

I thought there was a theory held by many historians, that Sokrates was a character made up by Aristoteles.

[@canuckted1]

Totally bogus. Socrates AND Jesus are historical figures every bit as verifiable as Julius Ceasar or Cicero. I was a little surprised that Peterson didn't seem to think historians were as sure about Jesus as they are of Socrates. THEY ARE. Neither man wrote anything down like other revered ancient Greek and Roman figures. Both had famous followers that documented their thoughts. But their historicity is undeniable to any relevant historian.

[@robertmarchese1453]

God, it must be exhausting to not only say so much that is profound and important and researched and potentially life-changing for anyone who can listen, but to have so many naysayers who try with all their might to discredit him.

[@NorthCharlton]

Another comment. I was interested to note that at 2:46, Peterson remarks on a realization he came to concerning the concept of the "Logos" [which was possibly newish to him in its Christian or at least Neoplatonic formulation and metaphysical implications] , and which only struck him as he prepared and delivered a lecture on religion. This is interesting because Peterson is so obviously already familiar with the doctrines of postmodernism in general in purely secular terms. Yet, after all his preliminary groundwork and development, he still "stumbles" upon a sense of a concept which is itself the explicit conceptual and (possibly metaphysical, if, as he says with a "wow", it happens to be true) antithesis of everything which certain postmodernists have been consciously trying to deconstruct with their famously anti-logocentrism ideology; an ideology which aims to dismantle the possibility of deriving an objective meaning from the word itself, and to render everything in terms of rhetoric (huckstering) and power. The more one reads (often sympathetic) commentary on the deconstructionists and their allies in France, the more it seems that these people are less engaged in simple literary criticism (or psychoanalysis and philosophy), than in what looks for all the world to be a metaphysically motivated assault on the Logos Itself, and upon any way of human-being consonant with the Logos idea. The ardor of the deconstructive and postmodernist project's acolytes seems a curious sort of rebellion, when considered in purely secular and materialist terms. It doesn't quite make sense on its own ostensible premises.

A great mind, an essential and rather timely social reactionary and incomparable orator. In the digital presence of such a masterful observer of the human condition, I can't help but wonder (and you just knew I'd weedle this in! ha) what Prof Peterson knows about ET visitation and if so with what level of intellectual regard? (not much presumably, or else he would have likely referred to it during his innumerable theological standoffs?) Has he pondered the sociological implications of it's official secrecy, and, moreover, has he considered the psychological implications of it's disclosure as a psychoanalyst? In his explosive popularity and by demand, Jordan will inevitably depart from time to time from the esoteric teachings of clinical psychiatry to sail other estuaries of sociology and political-science, and I wonder if he's bound to anchor at 'Port UFO' at some time or another, after all, I'm struggling to think of any other truth and officiated secrecy on earth that has as much sociological significance in it's telling. Honest study quickly reveals to committed researchers that the UFO phenomena is fundamental in the very infrastructure of the Empire's (America's) deep-state and military industrial complex, it occupies the 'frontal lobe' of Washington and higher to the extent that it defines national security measures and instills the standardisation of US foreign policy in relation to our exhausted energy paradigm (needlessly based on petroleum from foreign and invariably invaded middle eastern territories. Foreign policy determining the state of western 'democracy', above all else.) This, in the interests the architect's (Zionists) variation of postmodern Marxism and it's prime objective of many facets, as covertly championed by the ruling corporatocracy of neoliberal globalists. One of a great many being, yes Jordan, a campaign to emasculate male youth and dehumanise in general in another bid to produce subordinate walkin talkin automata (otherwise a threat of counter-leadership, the primal embodiment of masculinity) to preserve the statusquo.
