Jordan Peterson: The collapse of our values is a greater threat than climate change | Off Script

[@chrisbenton2761]

Since I started listening to Dr. Peterson, I no longer struggle with addiction. I started business school at 27 years old. I'm moving from a small town in Pennsylvania to Seattle, and I'm actively engaged in 2 separate startup businesses, and I'm losing weight, staying active an healthy. This man has transformed my life in so many ways. I used to be this defeated, pitiful man ravaged by a lifelong war with myself and the world around me. This man is my sail, a tool on my ship to navigate the storms in life through to the peaceful ocean on the other side.

How can anyone not love and respect that attitude from such a demonstrably sincere man. It's the worlds loss that people like him cannot face a political career but his assessment of his own nature and that of politics is spot on, I think it would depress him to the point of a break.

[@llaith2]

Very astute observation! As I have said elsewhere in comments, I also think that the way he faces the world with honour, courage and honesty, is inspiring others who feel the same way to do the same. It's not possible to shut-down the independent thinking of people who have found what he says resonates with them and they now have an intellectual foundation to defend their values from the scoundrels of the world. I have personally seen amongst my friendship group, that those of us who find he resonates with us have become far less willing to compromise our own principles for expediency, and are developing the ability to see through attempts to manipulate us back into the collective group-think that mainstream society has become. He is indeed dangerous, because he is inspiring those of good nature (no matter our politics) to take a stand. It is clearly a terrible burden, and I hope he can endure it. I am sure though that if he falters there will be millions of people who are waiting to catch him if he falls. I think at this point, even if he does accidentally say something that gives his enemies ammunition to attempt to take him out, it just wont matter to all of those who have been inspired by him.

Clearly, Dr. Jordan Peterson is an empath. He listens, he sees, he feels, and he gains wisdom by continuing to venture into the forest of people's confusion, pain and suffering. It is a double edged sword. One that cuts the path through the jungle of undergrowth, and one that saves by being willing to be a scout through uncharted jungles. However, to carry that sword is also tiring, and even tigers need rest. Dr. Peterson's insights are extraordinary and that is why many are instinctively drawn to his teachings. Perhaps, like many good souled people, he simply needs to rest. A good pioneer knows he must continue to tend the wheels on his wagon, for if they break the traveling quickly ends. Balance is often a lesson learned through broken wheels.

[@zeitlichkeit5094]

Jordan Peterson is a legend. I truly admire him. I have a Master's Degree in Philosophy and I consider him, a psychologist, a true inspiration. Unlike most philosophers, I am a right-wing philosopher, just like some may say that he is a "right-wing" psychologist, but more than that, I simply uphold reality and the elucidation of Being as portrayed by Martin Heidegger at the beginning of the 20th century. Dr. Peterson is a true hero for fighting against liberal tyranny in our 21st century and for still upholding the values that make up the reality of human kind. People like him are preserving the human race. It is because of people like him that humanity may have a chance to survive the destructive liberalism being spread among societies today.

[@christinamjp]

I wonder can we survive this limb this liberalism that has turned reality into fantasy that that has attacked everything good in our society and has attacked religious belief thoughts aunts and the great philosophers of our world. Is is there anything the left will not attack?

[@j.clements2093]

Beautifully written. I hope it’s not too late for humanity.

Peterson's spot on views aside, I appreciate his genuinity and sensitivity. That's another reason he is so well liked. I admire his eloquently deliberate responses to questions as well.

Yes, he doesn't just fire out off-the-cuff retorts to buffoons. His every statement is considered then modified if not pin-point sharp.

Gets me every time I see him get emotional like that. He’s clearly very much affected by all these personal stories he hears but he endures anyway out of some sense of duty. He’s a brave man and he has my admiration. Look after yourself as well though Jordan, your health and your family come first

I have nothing but respect for JP- he understands the magnitude of the position he's in, & what the implications are if he falls to the temptations that others in positions of powerful influence (culturally/socially) were susceptible to.
