[@MandrakeDCR]

@Isa You're being disingenuous. An individual in this thread is stating their own perception (and many others) that rather than watching many repetitive iterations of the same basic interview structure... attempting to deconstruct and find flaws in Dr. Peterson, it is enjoyable when a break in that pattern comes about. Also, if you want to take your own argument down to brass tacks, if Dr. Peterson couldn't take it, he wouldn't still be doing what he's doing after all this time. There are endless hours of video evidence that run counter to your portrayal. Let's face it, Dr. Peterson can dish it out, but you'd rather he just take it, and not respond, or better yet, just go away. Right?

[@michaelstanwick9690]

@Isa Who said he was? And before you get going, don't project your thinking onto what others have said. Yossi Yaari said "crucify". So ask them if they meant that in the messianic sense and hence were alluding to JBP being the Messiah, in all its iterations (see, they replied to the contrary!) If someone has claimed he is the messiah then I would stand by you and claim that person was silly. Let's have some actual evidence of silliness. Just stop projecting.

Because it's been decades we've been force-fed lies upon bloody lies, that you need to be smiling and happy and look like Coca-cola ads, or else - we're following the wrong person/doctrine/religion/philosophy.

[@nickmatthews7600]

"When you have people relying on you, you don't get to quit" This struck me being a single male who's just turned 30. I'm learning that I lack internal motivation to do difficult things or to move towards growth and maturity, but as I being to invest more in building strong communities and relationships in my life I find the motivation through what is owed to the people around me. It's really easy these days to drop out of the world and "do no wrong" by muting yourself of any action beyond the bare minimum required to maintain (show up to work, manage/hide addictions, be presentable). I could let myself rot and suffer without feeling too guilty about it because I don't see it as harming others, a twisted shadow form of the sacrificial element inherent to masculinity. In reality, I am harming others and myself much more by withdrawing. This is what Peterson talks about regarding manifesting your own greatest potential - when you fail to do so you that gap between yourself and your potential will be filled by "evil". Failing to develop yourself and the will to act is similar to giving someone you love the silent treatment or stone walling them. It might not leave a mark or seem overtly damaging, but withholding from the world around you does hurt everyone you love or care about. Being a perfectionist stopped me from moving towards my goals, but its important to remember that even imperfect action in the right direction will reward you and the people in your life. As soon as you turn towards your responsibility you are moving away from the "shadow" and with awareness you will notice rewards coming your way in the form of more opportunity to take on responsibility. If you're a fighter, getting better and moving up the ranks only provides you with greater challenge and responsibilities to starve distractions and feed your hunger. It doesn't get easier in life, you get better

Thank you for your stories. Indeed I didn't see how the wish to have everything polished and ready before taking any action is holding me back. I have my 30th birthday next month and I feel as if I have nothing to show for it, to justify my existence. Still even after hours of JP lectures and videos it is so difficult to do just simple "right" choices on every day basis. As if the devil inside of me would just pop up to mock my noble endevours, by saying:"It's OK, it's just a bit off your goals. It's not a big deal. See, you didn't do the big thing, you promised yourself to do, so what's this little thing is going to change?" And suddenly Christianity doesn't seem such a pile of old fantasy stories anymore. Suddenly it's more real then it would be comfortable to think. I wish you all poor schmucks that read this, a strenght of character and the courage to put the first step forward!

[@emmanuelgoldstein8233]

@shane foller you don't need empathy to solve problems, you need logic and rationality. Empathy is just the spice in life, it's not what keeps the world spinning. Actually, empathy often gets in the way of solving problems. It slows you down from making the right choice, because empathy forces you to make the most comfortable choice, not the right one. Empathy makes you waste your time and energy, instead of being used for something more effective. Being emotional allows you to be hurt by others, to be vengeful, to cry. An emotional man helps the homeless people. A rational man helps himself, letting the homeless people rot, and then only leaving the most competent people in the society. Kids need to see and feel empathy from their mothers. And they also need to see and feel confidence from their fathers. Not the other way around. Bury your feelings. Don't let yourself be hurt by women too. Screw them.

[@andrerollin645]

These belligerent poseurs are transferring their negative Paternal experience, therefore representation of the Father Archetype, therefore projecting the hate they have toward their own Father, on Jordan, at a level that is beyond forgiving … They WILL PAY for that … soon or later !!!

@@emmanuelgoldstein8233 Countless contradictions in your argument. The fact that you even commented means you already are expressing empathy ie to help show people the right answer. Empathy is not the easy thing to do, it is not the comfortable or emotional thing to do. Empathy is the hard, logical and right thing to do. What if your parents refused to feed you because they thought empathy was comfortable and irrational? Having too much money and sipping on martinis while others are starving is stupid, irrational and without empathy. Logic, rationality and empathy go together.

About the interviewer I must say, what a breath of fresh air! As a philosophy student it's frustrating when Jordan Peterson forms arguments in relation to certain philosophers to explain his viewpoints on complicated subjects and the interviewer doesn't match the knowledge about these philosophers to challenge or elaborate on Peterson's answers. I found that this interviewer did a great job, not only was he approximately on the same level intellectually as Peterson but he could hold his own, even contributing secundary literature to the conversation to drive the conversation forward. I think it's crucial when Peterson is interviewed about difficult subjects that the interviewer is in bedded in secondary literature to get the most out of Peterson

[@pablothemagnificent104]

I appreciate the content of this interview. I particularly like the interviewers last question asking for an anecdote regarding parenting. My own children are now in their thirties, but I recall a Saturday morning when my son was two or three. He and I dropped by my dad's place to borrow a tractor and rototiller. When we arrived, my dad was on the tractor rototilling his plot of land. My son and I were standing beside the garden observing. I glanced at my son and noticed that he was standing precisely like I was. To confirm this, I bent down and picked up a clod of dirt and rubbed it between my thumb and forefinger.. My son mimicked me exactly... and then it struck me.... the massive responsibility that I had to model manhood and masculinity to my son. I love who he has become as a man.

[@SVisionary]

My son is just about to hit his first birthday. I caught him two nights ago mimicking me. Yeah, that burden is heavier than any job you'll ever take on. You're talking about someone's life and they will grow up in many ways to be a reflection of yourself.

[@pablothemagnificent104]

Ya, it's powerful, isn't it? ... and it can be a heavy burden. No one gets it perfectly for sure; and not every act on your part will be superlative, but it is a great honour to have the responsibility for shaping another human being so profoundly. I mentioned my son in this anecdote, but it applies equally to daughters. It is good that you recognize this so early in your son's life. Undoubtedly, that will help you as you ponder ways in which you model life and relationships.

[@jonathanholloway1867]

I never comment on KZbin, but I am in utter admiration of the interviewer (Gadi Taub). Many times when I interview people it's because I believe that their knowledge or understanding of certain topics are far superior to my own. So I ask questions to provoke their engagement and then I try listening very intently to what they have to say. However, I often let my insecurities take over, and I begin inserting my own "profound" thoughts into the conversation in an attempt to garner confirmation or a nod of approval. It's entirely off-putting to myself so I know it is to the interviewee, but I'm not sure why I do it or how to fix it... I rewatch interviews like this all the time, not only for the messages and sentiments that people like Jordan Peterson convey, but also to see what a confident and self-sufficient interviewer acts like, what their body language says, how their words come across, when it's appropriate to add to the conversation, etc. I suppose my effort should focus on making the interviewee's case more compelling rather than stroking my own ego.

He was asked many straight forward questions that he completely avoided presenting honest and straightforward and substantiated answers to... thats one of my main criticisms of peterson.... Another problem I have with peterson, is that a ton of his fans and supporters choose to resist his critics, instead of defending what he is saying.... he has a way of getting his fans to believe that he is somehow not open to criticism... I see tons of people choosing to bash whoever questions or critivizes or challenges him, and I see almost none of his fans or supporters defending the things he is actually saying.... Its not about jordan peterson...its about what jordan peterson is saying....and if you cant question or criticize or scrutinize what he is saying, then youre not focusing on what really matters.... Id respect peterson if his messages and rhetoric werent so counter productive and self serving... I bash peterson because I respect his fans and supporters more than he does.. I feel he insults your intelligence, and exploits your honesty for his own benefit... I dont think he has told you anything you didnt already know and understand when you were a child... I think you are smarter and less in need of guidance than peterson obviously thinks you are..... When you are in influential person with the ability to be relevant and be the center of focus in some way, then you have a responsibility to leave your ego out of it and to spread your messages in a way that doesnt center around you.... jordan peterson does not accept that responsibility... he has a chance to unite people and to spread productive narratives that benefit people overall...but he took the easy way out and chose to exploit peoples desire for understanding, in a way that results very often in people focusing way more on defending him, than on defending what he is saying, and acknowledging and addressing and discussing the results of his relevance and influence... He has never once told me anything I didnt already learn when I used to read Dr Suess books and Aesops Fables when I was a child.... but Aesop and Dr Suess didnt write books in order to divide people into two categories of people for them and people against them... They wrote books with honesty and integrity..their messages and narratives were obvious and beneficial for people in general...

So Jordan Peterson is telling things/messages/narratives (whatever you call it) that you already learned as a child, and so those things are of little use.. TO YOU. How about people that haven't read or have been told those things before? These things are still beneficial (even by your own admitance). I get the feeling you haven't gone through JP's lectures on personality and psychology, there is so much of interest covered there it would be hard to label all that as ''obvious''. As for people defending JP instead of the contents of what he is saying, I think when that does happen it's often cause criticism is often not about what he's saying but are formulated as personal attacks. (He's alt right, nazi etc.. simply cause some third party might not agree with him.) Now I would be curious to hear what it is in his message that you don't agree with.

I had encountered JBP at that point and had explained to my son about the role of endurance and to get back on the horse, figuratively speaking - find meaning thru responsibility - since he had a young family.

I do admire this interviewer that he was really in the side of Mr. Peterson. Sir Jordan. I trust your heart. Be strong for Us if I’m not the only one who truly believed in what you were fighting in this life. We are with you. And may God be always with you..Sir and to the whole family.

[@annesebastian]

What an excellent, excellent interview! The interviewer was genuinely interested and wanted to learn about and from Prof JP. He wasn’t deliberately antagonistic nor was he sycophantic. Wonderful. This is what interviews should be like.

[@MottiShneor]

And Gadi ACTUALLY gave Peterson time to speak! that's very uncommon these days. Gadi is a professor and a very fruitful one, and has lots to say on his own right. Yet he let Peterson present himself without interrupting. That's not just manners, that's real interest and care to learn. I really loved this interview.

[@jmf2274]

finally a journalist who is asking interesting questions

[@Skaterofficial1]

The interviewer did a really great job and asked such good questions! I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.

[@MsHuggiebear]

I am very thankful for Jordan Peterson’s willingness to share his wisdom so generously.

[@leedufour]

Thank you Gadi and Jordan.

[@francisaugustine7100]

Gabi! You are a wonderful, sensitive, intelligent interviewer! Kudos to you!

[@גליתאנגור-ש1צ]

Gadi..:)

[@mundoz79]

Finally someone smart enough to interview Prof Peterson and allows us explore his vision and concepts

[@pn5721]

This was excellent. Felt fresh.

[@mohammedshezaadboots1934]

I absolutely loved this interview! It's good to have an interviewer who listens to understand rather than listen just to respond.

[@avigayegos1496]

rather than listen just to himself

[@maxsiehier]

I just finished listening to an appalling interview and one minute into this one I got goosebumps and the entire atmosphere is delightful again

[@D3CAD0]

Great interview, thank you very much. Dr. Peterson is an excellent example of masculinity. He's a man who endures hardship while focused on supporting himself, his family and the community to the best of his ability.

[@lunatic4152]

D3CAD0 his not extreme masculinity his just normal.

[@keefecarpenter1571]

This may be my favorite Peterson talk. I love how the pressure to move quickly forced these massive topics to be made as concise as possible

[@valorien1]

That was a fascinating interview. Well done.

[@yottoo.5037]

If you're white, Peterson is NOT your friend. Watch a new documentary called "Jordan Peterson DismantIed." It compIetely exposes him.

[@valorien1]

If you care more about people's skin colour and whether or not they're Jewish than what they're actually thinking - you're a shallow idiot.@@yottoo.5037

[@herberthanlen2051]

Yotto O. I was waiting for some TROLL to get on here to suggest this. I’ve watched it and it is a rehash of Joseph Goebbels diatribes in the 1930’s.

[@m74d3]

@@yottoo.5037 lol "exposes" him. It does nothing of the sort. It was quite a pathetic attempt

[@TheDionysianFields]

I didn't like the editing, and how the segments got shorter and shorter. Wish we had the original.

[@eporat007]

The most intelligent interview with Peterson I have ever seen. And you can tell he loves it.

[@WCGOLD27NZ]

Finally an interviewer who actually wants to have a genuine discussion to gain understanding. Truly refreshing to see Jordan enjoying an interview. Totally animated and engaged. Would love to see the entire interview.

[@esperthebard]

Listening to discussions like this is like an eye of sanity and hope opening within a whirlwind of madness.

[@ts3011ISRL]

This interview should have like 500k views ..

[@thatwasinteresting.8150]

It was 3 days old when you commented... Give it a minute, would ya?

[@ts3011ISRL]

That was interesting. I only marked the goal buddy

[@andreasfreij4485]

500 million views

[@MottiShneor]

I'd say the silent millions force-fed the PC lies, the whole generation that live by their reflection in Instagram and Facebook - they all need to hear this interview. It's for them really. Both Gadi and Peterson are people whose lives has not been wasted, and people who achieved much where they wanted - but what about those drained P.C. people that will find soon enough that their life was wasted away, and that they lost the ability to live for anything of meaning? I think this one link should be shared with plenty of people.

[@asafg8547]

Dr Taub is a brilliant man, He holds very similar opinions to Peterson's... A great discussion.

[@Amish_Mafia88]

If only JP had more interviewers like this...he reveals more when he’s not being bombarded. Fantastic video

[@meumentorgringo8342]

So nice to watch an interview where the interviewer is honestly seeking to understand.

[@confingo2231]

What an excellent interview. The interviewer is intelligent and curious which brings out the best in Jordan Peterson. Thank you.

[@houssambouhou7846]

I really love Jordan Petetson , and I see him as a friend , and that's why I want to say to Mr.Gadi thank you man , I could feel the happiness of Jordan when you everytime get his words right , we really need this man especially these days when things get worse and so thank you again Mr.Gadi because Jordan is really tired of stupid narcissistic silly interviews , and I guess people like you are the ones who encourage him not to stop doing interviews , so thank you for that .

[@medicorene]

Jordan Peterson changed my life, thank you

[@richardjohnson6519]

The statement " u don't get to quit", So true. Great information in this video

[@zedsian]

May you always be well Jordan!!

[@chris432t6]

Fantastic! JP is on fire and it's such a blessing! The interviewer was polite and asked good questions. Thank you!

[@WBlake01]

Always great when an interviewer successfully tackles things from a fresh angle. Going down as one of the best interviews with Peterson in my book.

[@SlackJawJack]

Hearing him choke up talking about his daughter got me. J.P is a great man.

[@1142VS]

When I see and hear Jordan Peterson venture away from his more common talking points he reveals an incredible depth of humanity and compassion. Each time I am reminded of what a stellar intellect he is as well as a very decent human being. A lot of people could learn a great deal from this man if they put aside their persistent desire to try to take him down a peg or two.

[@111Bisirru]

Dr. Peterson deserves each and every one of the messages of admiration he receives. He has done much more than what is currently recognized, time will tell. May God bless him

[@bigsiegee]

It's fantastic to see someone have a discussion with Peterson rather than try to railroad him into some agenda.

[@TheKoderius]

This should have millions of views. גדי יא תותח.

[@moshefabrikant1]

ממש תותח, החזיק שיח ממש חריף עם אחד האנשים הכי מעניינים כרגע בעולם

[@orenjuice100]

That is the best JP interview I have ever seen They need to do another!!!

[@JamLegendLegend]

This guy knew what he was talking about, had an open mind, came prepared and was respectful and dignified through and through.

[@FranciscoSmirsley]

What occurs me to say, after watching this, is: prof.Petersen has finally met his match; I've seen several interviews done by him, and this one easily surpasses them all, I mean, compare this one with the one done by the BBC woman; the interviewer is sharp, articulate, challenging and yet respectful; these 25 minutes are to be treasured and I'M SURE I'll be watching this one again and again after the first "again".

[@var14s]

loved your comment .I wish we will have more of them together. After this one, I felt hert from all the work he did facing the storm. VERRY HARD WORK.

[@john-lukeshelley706]

What a wonderful conversation between to men seeking the truth. JP is so honest and his passion is contagious! When JP talks I find myself listening so intently it almost hurts. What a brilliant brilliant man. I haven't found a single thing that he has said that I don't feel the same way about. Would love to sit down with him over a cup of tea and a view of the country side and just talk. Nothing more, just talk as friends.

[@silencio00]

So refreshing to see an inteview without political and cultural war questions.

[@phatpingu]

As a father, I watch the end of this video and I recognize another father being strong for his child. All a father wants is the best for his child

[@billyzig]

An incredible mind, with an emotional heart. We need more people like JP

[@saqlaq96]

One of the best JP interviews I’ve seen

[@sakurabahfan]

11:38 Something I love about JP is that he honestly thinks about his answers, they are not pre-recorded. Admirable. The interviewer did an amazing job as well. Rare to find people who want to chat instead of want to dominate.

[@gregorytrotter6657]

He doesn't speak defensively. He speaks informatively, trusting his insight, his research, and that part of him that knows who God is.

[@latinaalma1947]

So correct about the APA paper on masculinity....the connection between lack,of a Male role model and maladaptive aggression is ...unassailable. I love his discussion about endurance....so,,true for,women too....life is rarely easy...society has adoted very warped values as of late.

[@DomsDocs]

*18:05** "Its not even wrong, it is anti-truth"* *Could not have said it better myself.*

[@Cobramp4]

I felt like I could actually breathe and not lose brain cells listening to another JBP interviewer. Very rare these days. Well done.

[@azmtkdzv]

Damn he so easily gets me to cry with him

[@andriussinkunas4899]

I apreaciate Jordan Peterson attending interwiev with Gadi Taub because of his still growing audience. Jordan talks with everyone Edit: grammar fix

[@tgeo2880]

One of the best summaries of Peterson's mission I've yet found.

[@EforEmery2018]

I can't think of a better way to invest 25 minutes of my life than watching this video. Incredible interview. Thank you for sharing.

[@SVisionary]

So much respect for this man. One of the better interviews. Wish it could have gone on for 2 hrs.

[@Dacrada]

It is great to see Peterson brighten up and smile within the first thirty seconds and after the first question. Almost sad to see two different sides of the same person, needed for addressing two different types of interviewers and/or questions. Great job Gadi, thank you for your humanity.

[@ffccardoso]

first one intelligent that I see to interview JP

[@alchemistapollo]

I’ve watched hundreds of hours of Jordan Peterson and this was by far one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen of him. I always get so emotional when he starts getting emotional.

[@Valaryant.]

I love how Professor Peterson thinks and feels, and how weaves them together to express himself. Fascinates me.

[@freespirityeah]

Professor Peterson.. thousands of your clips everywhere on the internet. All of them deep and meaningful.
