Jordan Peterson tells a funny children's story about ignoring problems

[@ledirigeant]

[@AidanRKelly]

@@schmingusss Maybe, but it seems deliberate in my opinion.

[@fireworkmuffins]

@@schmingusss Think about the point where the dragon starts to chase the bread. The dragon (problem) is getting so big from being ignored it is now starting to negatively effect people outside of the house as well. When we choose to ignore our problems instead of facing them, they grow and grow until everything around us, including people start to feel the effects. Edit - Think about a coworker who has a fixable problem they like to complain about. You wouldn't have to hear about it if they just fixed it.

[@VintageBalderdash]

"Why did (the dragon) have to grow so big?" "I'm not sure. I think it just wanted to be noticed." Ouch man, cuts like a knife.

[@MrRazorblade2]

Knightwalker The One Its equivalent to a child who hides his problems until it grows so big, that it explodes. So in this case, the dragon(problem) grows so big in the child that it shakes the house(family). So essentially, the kid just wanted the problem to be noticed. Which I can relate to on a personal level.

Of course he is not a special snowflake and I bet he is also not perfect, but his way of explaining the inside of the human mind is amazing. Especially the mind of a child and how an adult can easily damage that child's mind (at least that's what I got out of that dragon story). Also it's not wrong admiring him, don't you think? He is very good at being a professor, a psychologist and also a father.

[@introspectah]

''Also it's not wrong admiring him, don't you think?'' It definitely isn't, but fanatically idolizing him may either bring about serious blind spots on your part, or may just as well reveal underlying blinds spots which have led you to generate a distorted perception of the role he oughta fulfill, and which he is able to fulfill in your life, being not the only one of his kind for there exist rather many minds like him, even more proficient, eloquent, or holding certain attributies more advanced than his, while in other ways being less erudite or so. You just gotta know where you look, but it certainly isn't all that bad of a starting point to worship a man of such greatness, certainly not, though beware of projecting longings for a father-figure, for example.

[@robbylebotha]

Not really. You could have a father like this and still end up a druggie because all your life people expected you to be like him and you just wanna be a DJ.

[@introspectah]

''Even in my every day life I see the same pattern'' Of course you see the same patterns, josh, all of us do; it's the effect of pattern recognition as result of an actively run confirmation bias which constantly, near autonomously, seeks to consolidate its conviction or presumptions about ''the world''; which is not an accurate reflection of ''the world'' at all, but much rather is a projected representation of your version, interpretation and sensory experience of the world. ''So what are your intentions?'' I'd find it baffling if you would truly not have grasped the intention which i had so clearly put across, but just in case, i'll paraphrase: Well, to keep it simple, i might just quote my self, and see what about my original comment you had failed to comprehend: ''In case you actually want to fulfill your natural craving, i can hook you up with plenty resources that will most certainly restore your confidence [in the reliability, beauty, splendor, loyalty, strength and great character of so many women out there]. Question then follows; maybe you don't want to try to disprove your easily refutable presumptions of the world, and regarding the nature of some of its key protagonists, because such an act of inevitable correction might seriously destabilize the already liable firmness of your foundation?'

Robert Naylor It does apply. SJW’s today ate the result of them and their parent having Peter Pan syndrome. They’ll never grow up.

Everyone who watches this liked it and feels empowered to start hating on the sjw’s because a greater mind than theirs validated their beliefs. Like a kid relying on their dad or something like that.

Wow man that hit hard at the end. Such a genius way of combining a genuine funny story with a very strong, helpful message

[@ZeroManO3]

A “ Drag-on... “ is what we DRAG from the past into the moment .. We drag exhaust and become exhausted ... a problem is a pro- blemish ... an opportunity .. an Opening for tuning ..

[@jacksonfilm]

Pixar should turn this into a short film

[@shorty6390]

Keep up the good work sir!

[@lyledeyounges1276]

This was my favourite book when I was a kid and I had completely forgotten about it!

[@SomethinAintRightHere]

remember acetate paper for over head projectors?? good times.. i always loved when the teacher would write up there.

[@inspiringtheinspirational5216]

Such a beautiful, and brilliant lesson. Who else is grateful we have people like Jordan Peterson who genuinely care about the betterment of other people’s lives?

[@GaleHarquebus]

Another great video of Jordan Peterson on psychology, and I love it was cut right after the punchline in the end.

[@borisnikolic246]

I'm not sure it is because of the content of his lecture, but he sounded more cheerful when he was younger. Nowadays he seems more serious and kind of grim. I think dealing with people with mental disorders and studying various maleficent personalities mast have affected him a lot.

[@roddydykes7053]

Boris Nikolic he has his cheerful moments even today, yeah we become more serious with age but we also (are supposed to) get more competent

[@fukkendermohammed]

Boris Nikolic . He'd gone through some rather rough times with his daughter's health. That's probably one of the reasons.

[@bbaattttlleemmooddee]

I got the opposite impression. He seems angry and accusing in this video. He seems caring and hopeful when he's older.

[@palmfrond]

We all get beaten down by life as we get older... I was happier when I was younger, too. Although, there are some folks I've noticed, are mean when young, and they mellow out with age.

[@claudiaaquino7238]

I love his analysis of children’s books! A lot other people miss until they sit into a lecture like this!

[@TheRadicalCentrist.1776]

This guy was f***ing brilliant even in his younger years.

[@lime410]

This video has been a massive help to me. It’s amazing when human experience is put to story how it becomes much more applicable in life. In the last two days I addressed a couple small dragons, and today I took on 3 fairly ominous ones. They do get smaller as soon as you look at them. Also I’ve found myself less frustrated by my more painful emotions. I’ve sort of accepted them as a part of life that can be limited in their destructive tendency if I simply pay attention to the matters causing the pain. Got a few more scary dragons to look at soon.

[@james-r]

I’m a grown man listening to Jordan Peterson tell me a children’s story lol

[@kasperw5597]

He looks like a more educated version of a younger Seinfeld here.

[@TeleportlabsETH]

He looks like Danny Tanner from Full House here.

[@sahamal_savu]

LMFAO

[@Paulina-gy8xv]

That's true!!!

[@boslyporshy6553]

And Tom Hanks in the 90's.

[@BossMonster17]

A spot-on message. I feel like he wrote this book himself. He constantly refers to anomalous and unexpected things emerging in your life as “the dragon of chaos.” And he routinely says that it’s the worst kind of chaos that happens when you live the consequences of your own actions and you know you put yourself there. When you put off things till another day that you could deal with in that moment but you’re too lazy, you’re effectively making your future self weaker by giving them something to deal with that they wouldn’t have had to otherwise. Because future you will have problems associated with that day too- which is a tragedy- but when those problems of the day are compounded with the shirked problems from yesterday, their convergence- and the knowledge that you could have avoided it- is hell.

[@MrGilRoland]

Legend has it that Jordan Peterson is alive from the beginning of time and HE is the dragon.

[@AndyFish2007]

Excellent analogy .

[@LemonMeIon]

Imagine having a parent like Jordan Peterson to outthink the nightmares of your imagination!

[@Kristo1992-yq2gi]

Jordan's looking very Canadian here, and I mean that as a compliment!

[@someguyuknow214]

"Don't let the dragon drag on, dude"

[@ffnovice7]

[@infamousllll]

Always chase the dragon

[@Mr_Penguins_Pet_Human]

My wife and I have been together for 20 years. In that time all.of our friends have split or divorced. One of the reasons we believe we have stayed the course (aside trust etc) is because we are always upfront an honest about everything, even if it's a difficult or even painful subject. Nothing is ignored for long, if at all.

[@watchandjewelryloft4713]

Priorities also help! My parents are still together as well after 35+ years. All my dad's other siblings aren't. Yet, over the years they and even his parents always criticized how he lived his life. Education, financial, lifestyle, etc. And, even during those years, they would call him for advice, only to try their own method again and again. Watching it over the course of 35+ years has been very eye opening.

[@ezrawolf4513]

He was so youg!! And he talks the same!!!! So cute

[@ryanOGab]

I want Jordan Peterson to record audio books
