Jordan Peterson: Why Globalism Fails and Nationalism is Relatable

[@timeless8]

Jordan Peterson puts into words the things that many of us already know, but have never been able to properly elucidate. That is no small feat.

[@TheLegendsmith]

We don't really know it, we feel it, but that's not the same as knowing, because we can't do anything about it on just a feeling, so his articulation of it is vital.

[@ztrinx1]

Well, it isn't that difficult. Every human is predisposed to confirmation bias, and naturally, humans gravitate towards opinions and words that confirm "the things that many of us already know".

[@RandomCarrot2806]

Jordan makes a far greater case for Christianity and it's importance to western culture than any priest or other theist I've heard. I'm an atheist but I think I've always believed in much of the philosophy of the bible. Jordan makes a great case for it being a much deeper exploration of human psychology and nature than I think even most Christians give it credit for. He makes a great case for the bible being one of the great philosophical texts of the world and that we as a society has forgotten much of what it has tried to teach us about ourselves.

[@konrad303]

I agree, however it leaves out many other ancient narratives and schools of wisdom which developed in human history around the world.

10:00 - I think JP's concept of "fixing what's at hand" is directly relatable to Confucius's concept of concentric social circles, where to help make the world a better place, you must first start with yourself, then your family, then neighborhood, city, country, and so on.

[@j_freed]

PlainsPup and it is a great psychological insight that people who refuse to do their inner work and "clean their room" always want to start with the outermost circles, is if by avoiding their own lack of organization and their own inner disarray they could still just as they are do anything at all in the world. It's like being a lifeguard trying to rescue people from drowning before one learns how to swim. The fact that water is dangerous and people can drown does not justify running off to be an inept lifeguard.

I think one of the greatest problems with neoliberal internationalism is that it assumes that what works in one society will work for all. And consequently that way of thinking and course of action causes more problems than what it attempts to fix.

[@XAmericanRenegadeX]

Thank you for speaking some sense. Their idea asserts that the only reason that what you say is the case, is because there are a plethora of cultures, religious beliefs, standards of ethics, etc. That is why they are fomenting a cultural conflict. They are attempting to show you that different cultures lead to conflict, thus we should all unite under a single "world culture" and they insist we think of ourselves as "citizens of the world." Once you've broken down national citizenship mindset, and have everyone thinking they are a citizen of the world, you can start working on a single single code of ethics, then even scarier, a single religion... whether it be the religion of science or something else, the end result is the same.

[@roland20002000]

There's a shorter way of putting all this. Not every one has the same vision of a utopia. So if 50% of the population all agree on the vision of a utopia that is to be built the other 50% who have different visions of utopia are going to be oppressed.

[@dutchmilk]

@ The Antidote, A very clear way of expressing a undeniable truth. There is no absolute.

But there are certainly Utopian visions where the large majority of people agree (let's say 95%, even 100%) that would still fail miserably if you begin with the wrong assumptions.

I remember the Matrix touched on this issue when Neo met the Architect. He tells neo that the first Matrix was designed to be perfect but the human mind couldn't accept that. :)

I had the same thought. They introduced imperfections into the Matrix, for more stability, but all it really achieved was a longer time between breakdowns. And "The One" who brought down the whole thing was all part of the Revolutions plan, and used to build the NEXT version of the Matrix, with lessons learned from the previous, for the best possible Matrix. Very funny that Neo was just the 10th or 20th "The One."

[@dmkdata]

In my opinion Peterson is missing that globalisation has a technological component that goes beyond political will and utopias. Technology has continually made the world "smaller" in terms of communication and mobility and will continue to do so regardless of politics. Even Political systems that are open to globalisation are barely able to keep up with technological progress and nationalistic systems need to take extreme measures to contain those technologies. However, no technology can be contained indefinitely and a technology that is out can never be taken back. Globalisation is happening as long as we have technological progress and you either go with it or you lose the globalisation game and whine about not everyone benefitting properly from it. However, we need to make sure that it happens properly and does not end in desaster (Totalitarian), which will be extremely difficult.

[@dnw009]

Even under a globalised earth there could still exist independant nations working together with other nations. You don't have to give up your culture and heritage for globalisation.

[@draconisdragonheart4248]

Your comment: "Totalitarian, which will be extremely difficult". That was incredibly lame. We now have the ability to monitor what you say and where you are. The Elites plan total control and they will use technology to suit their needs. Your every word can be used to create a narrative.

Hubris is, perhaps, the most significant sin within the Bible. If you pay attention to those forgiven by God, they always had to bend knee first, no matter how perfect or wretched. God often humiliated these people severely, regardless of how powerful and necessary they were to the plan. Paul was a proud Jew and hunter of Christians, but he was blinded and his sight would only be returned by seeking help from one such as he had previously persecuted. This theme had repeated itself numerous times, by this point in the scripture, and haughty people were forced to be broken, before being remade. Peterson seems to emulate this process in forcing his students to recognize their own flawed and horrible nature. They're forced to see the monsters they could be, if only circumstances were different. The only thing lacking is the utter horror of being judged by one infinitely your superior and being helpless to contend with it.

Insight on the Tower of Babel: The problem was not the tower. The problem was the bricks. The bricks represent people. The people were transformed from stones into bricks - each person equal to every other person. Land of Shinar is not a specific geographical place. It represents any land where the thinking is apart from God with a tyrant as leader. They did not first say, let us make make a city and a tower. They first said let us make bricks. In other words, let us make everybody equal. Then the mortar that holds everything together is materialism. God scrambled the languages in order to save the people, not punish them. They were on a dangerous path that would eventually lead to their destruction. This information comes from the oral Torah.

[@deltaxcd]

Your interpretation is far too complex in that story, people wanted to reach the God and take it under their own control But in the process, they actually forgot what they were doing and why. the same situation happened many times in human history revolutions start with some good goals but before that goal; is reached people forget what they are doing this is what happened to soviet union roman empire and many other civilizations who eventually lost their goal felt into consumerism trap and disintegrated. However, the bible also forgot to mention that time will pass and people will unite again to build a new tower and it will be much bigger than before if may fall down again but there will be always next time until one day people will reach the god. I wonder what will happen at that time probably it will be the end of humanity and victory of transhumanism. This time we were extremely close to the victory and it is still possible that we will finish our tower and kick God out of his throne.

[@mbw6785]

Matt C makes sense. I'd get behind that interpretation

[@mbw6785]

deltaxcd Disagreed. There's more than one reprise of the motif. To "kick God from his throne" is an utterly foolish and fruitless endeavour, but of course people will continue in their attempts to do so, and to their own demise.

[@jasonmey5235]

I think this interpretation leaves out an important point: Babel was supposed to unite all humanity in one place. "Let us... not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." It was direct defiance of God's command to "fill the earth and subdue it." God wanted mankind to be everywhere, not collected in one place. This doesn't conflict with the interpretation, but I think it is central to the story.

[@deltaxcd]

+Jason Mey I think it will too blunt to interpret it that way, it would be stupid to think that all humans will move to the single place and live there it is more sensible to understand unity in ideological terms as single world government In that way, Babel represents globalism.

[@wholesoul]

Many years ago, as a graduate student, I was taught the the greatest and overarching dynamic of any society or civilization was and is between Liberty and Equality. Peterson's Tower of Babel or organizations becoming all encompassing reminded me of this seeming axiomatic dynamic. Liberty can be associated with unpredictability while equality is just the opposite (predictability and uniformity). Think about this dynamic and remember what Peterson said about the realization of an Utopia ala "Notes From The Underground". People would grow rebellious being kept within an invisible prison of equality with its sameness for everyone and everything. People would revert from this controlled artificiality of equality to liberty (i.e., individuation, freedom of expression, unconformity, etc.) overnight just to feel alive. Kind of like what Agent Smith said in the Matrix, to paraphrase, "The first Matrix could have been called Paradise, but people rejected it. Whole crops were lost."

[@cabbage9398]

He mentions the choice between nation states (Nationalism) and "Globalism" (which is the new way of saying "Internationalism" or Anti-Nationalism"), and is explaining why he sees nationalism as the better option. "Globalism" (in this context) is not to be confused with 'Globalization' the economic concept, although they are somewhat related.

Queboy Billy Unfortunately I have the impression (if only I were wrong) that he is 'almost a Christian'. Close but no dice won't save a man. Sometimes people are a little too smart for their own good. Jesus said that one must be converted and become like a little child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Elsewhere he spoke of being 'born again'. Real conversion is not a cultural experience, but a gift of the Holy Spirit. I truly wish the man well.

[@TDawg736]

The basic Catholic social principle of subsidiarity deals exactly with the issues of levels of government and how the lowest level government capable of dealing with a necessary thing is the level of government that should do it. Otherwise, government isn't responsive to local needs and is resistant to input from the locals. People are disempowered. *Traditional* Catholicism gets everything right.

[@DieFlabbergast]

Akita538 Be cautious about buying into the Right/Left spectrum. While the general distribution of people in a balanced and survivable population can be plotted as being at some point along that axis, the perception and self-identification or projected value systems of either end have become increasingly distorted reflections of each other, and could not be considered either sane nor reflective of reality. Try to look at it using this analogy: You have two friends who might not get along with each other (in fact they have very different beliefs), but who have the same qualities that you consider fundamental to a decent person, and you value both of them in different ways. Out of the blue, one day you come across a crowd on the street that is bunched into two rough groups in a circle around something, and when you make your way to the front of the crowd you see your two friends standing in a circle. They are stripped down to the minimum clothing that could be considered remotely decent, their left wrists are tied together with a 5 foot rope, and in their right hands are switchblades, and they seem ready to go at it. Getting into knifefights with anyone isn't in either of their characters, the one friend is comfortable with brawls but doesn't pick fights and is willing to let things go, the other one avoids fights but will stand up for themself if cornered or if someone is stepping out of bounds with someone weaker than themselves. What happened? (hint: you notice a couple of guys who seem to be working together taking bets on the winner, and the odds are set so that they will make a "killing" no matter who wins)

[@KaikouraBoy]

You could relate many stories to modern problems and deduce some meaning and applicability, particularly as history seems to repeat itself. However I suggest reading the book "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop. In it you will find sufficient evidence suggesting that most religions- and now foremost catholicism- are derivations of the pagan religion based on Nimrod the King of Babel. Osiris is another form of Nimrod. The story of Osiris is a "deification" of Nimrod. Greece also had its own version. It's a good read if your interested in that sort of thing.

Opposing ideologies that cater to the youths of our society: the next generation opposes the belief systems and values of the society they are in. Overpopulation and climate change are depleting resources creating water, food and energy insecurity worldwide. And bureacracy is running the world, focusing on how to feed it's unquenchable greed, not the needs of the people, who are indoctrinated by them from cradle to grave.

If you've "sorted yourself out" as Peterson puts it, I believe people will naturally follow your example because they see the benefits. Besides, time is limited.

He makes a great point about Europe. I always laugh when I hear Americans (not talking JBP here) talk about Europe, as if we're a collection of states. We hardly identify with our neighbouring countries. When we travel a couple hundred miles we don't speak the same language anymore. We look different, we have different weather and food, we value different things. The cultural differences are so vast that any idea to bring them all together under one umbrella as dr. Peterson put it is just ludicrous. I don't feel like a European. I've never felt like a European. In fact, there are such big differences in culture and temperament that we already have huge issues in the EU applying the same rules to everyone and making everyone bear the same weight, which we don't. Differences in ages when we retire, in corruption, in work-ethic. It's a monster that helps no one, that breeds resentment and takes billions from the wealthy members to throw it into the depthless gorge of the inefficient. I recently liked something I heard: If throwing money at the poor would help them no one would be poor, yet this seems to be the depth of EU's problem-solving mentality. And what's the narrative in the media? Don't want to be in the EU? You're going to be the bad-boy outcast in class. No one will want to play with you. You don't want that do you?

[@konrad303]

One has to also consider the great benefits of the EU: There never has been a time that long in written history where there was no war in this territory. This is huge. The EU is the most succesful peace project ever. Of course there are still many things to critizise, but they can be fixed without giving up the basic concept. Germany btw is also made up of different states which waged war against each other not that much time ago. People from different German regions also have quite different traditions, temperament, culture, history, landscape etc. Nevertheless it was possible, very successfully, to create an enormous nationalist narrative telling Germans they're even kind of a superior race, only some decades after Germany actually was a unified country for the first time. US patriotism has similarities: even though its people are a multicultural mix of people from all over the world, many Americans feel they have the greatest country in the world, superior to all the others. It's all based on narrative, quasi-mythological. And this is always in construction and thus can and does change over time. One should try to find the most peaceful, most productive narrative including habitants of the whole globe. Globalism today suffers from a narrative and concept dominated by partly inhumane economic aspects which only benefits the rich.

[@plenoptic]

globalism is just nationalism on a larger scale. For example in nation states which are a combination of different ethnic groups with strong cultural affinity, there’s usually a preference towards the ethnic group before the nation with the same mindset nationalists have about their nation to the rest of the world. For example in Nigeria with over 140 ethnic groups, there’s a usual hierarchy of importance. Family > Community > Ethnic group > Country > Continent > World. This I guess is due to sharing common ideas, history, language etc. But in nations such as England where generally people view themselves as a holistic people without taking into account anymore how much of their ancestry could be Norse, Flemish etc, there’s now the new cultural identity of being English. But of course before assimilation it would have been different segregated ethnic groups. For globalism to work, there needs to be a unifying culture & mindset. The world is becoming less pre-industrial revolution culturally diverse, almost everyone is speaking the same language while rates of speaking older languages are declining, people share modern interests beyond borders, people listen to the same music etc. These are the new cultures. In the next few decades, I doubt much of the generation would care about much about ethnic affinity but instead interest affinity. Actually majority of people in the west don’t practice the culture of their forefathers prior to the 1900s, besides the religious ones. Their identity is based on new world concepts. This is where a concept like globalism would work, but not now definitely. Besides what’s the difference between the concepts of nationalism and globalism beyond the definition? Nationalism is simply land-locking; nations vary in population and land mass. It’s just strong cultural affinity restricted to a population within a land mass.

When you talked to me about how the socialist utopia would collapse even if it worked greatly, it reminded me deeply of A Brave New World by Huxley. A place where the government takes care of everything, and the populous can simply laze about. Our protagonist in the story fights back against that and retreats into nature, and to a secluded light house because a part of him needs the freedom not only to succeed but to fail, that is why to the a citizen of Utopia, he lives in Dystopia. Man has the paradoxical need for freedom and acceptance, order and chaos. Fantastic lecture Mr. Peterson.

What is wrong with nationalism, not all nationalists are mass murders and white supremacists in fact the vast majority are not. I come from New Zealand and am proud of it, I love my country as far as i'm concerned its the best country in the world. Now I don't want it to be over run by foreigners so that the Europeans become a minority, I don't want us to forget our history and our culture and I certainly don't want us to have to conform to cultural rules if you like of a people that come from a completely different land than the one we originate from. This is happening in Europe, Muslims are more and more attacking Europeans because they don't like how Europeans act. I hear in some parts of Britain they are not allowed to play Christmas carols as it might offend muslims. There is no way I want that to happen in New Zealand. I want to preserve my country for what it is European and Maori New Zealand, that does not make me xenophobic or racist in fact I like meeting people from different countries and would encourage tourism. And I do not think one race is better than another its just as someone else has said in this section it would be terrible if the Japanese became a minority in Japan, its the same for me and New Zealand or any other country for that matter. To be nationalist does not mean you are a terrible person or a criminal for most people it just means you love your country. PS. I'm not really replying to anyone.

The myth of the Tower of Babel brings a greater light on our modern totalitarian times if we read it in Hebrew. The word "Levina" or brick used to built the Tower is composed of two words : "Lev" ( heart) and "ina" (oppressed).

[@LuisGonzalez-hs5pe]

Does that mean real capitalism have never been tried?

[@yvanguez2077]

Luis Gonzalez - On the contrary, it means that capitalism is the economic system since the beginning of the agricultural civilisation 6000 or 7000 years ago. Definition of Kapital : " huge accumulation of wealth in the hands of minority" . I don't agree with the Marxist division between the 3 big economical periods : Slavery, Feudalism, Capitalism. Capitalism means exchange of products via the media of money and profits from the Plus Value for the capitalists. So we can observe Capitalism working in Sumer 4000 years ago. The priests were the keepers and sellers of the stocks and also the bankers ( they invented scripture and compatability). With the plus value they built Zigourats ( first pyramids) to study the sky and created Astrology. It's why I knew that there was a hidden meaning behind the story of the Tower of Babel. These people were not crazy, but very smart. There project was transform Humanity in God. The modern scientists have the same project. Mathematics is the universal sharing language and to succeed they have to broke the heart of the children to transform them in individuals with cold heart ( Levina or brick) Hebrew B and V are a same letter, so with Levina (brick) we got the Hebrew word LEV. Lev is the root of the English Love , German Liebe and the universal value LIBerty.

He's presupposing that a Utopia would be static but a Utopia literally means the best possible society, which would be exciting and excellent but with no violence or troubles. An unattainable goal, surely, but i think it's worth mentioning that we can strive for an actual Utopia, rather than be scared of totalitarian "Utopia" that he is describing.

[@libinwang2267]

what conflict exists in a world without struggle? What progress can occur without the primary impetus for progress? Progress cannot exist in a "utopia", because an imperfect utopia is a contradiction. Utopia implies the spaces nearest to perfection and a perfect world, while progress implies imperfection in the world. Utopia is incompatible with the notion of progress, and therefore is a static society.

[@MrtinVarela]

+Libin Wang You're giving a false premise, and probably an equivocation fallacy. A utopia is an hypothetical society that possesses very highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. Unless you help me, I can't find anything about such definition that *necesarily* implies perfection or even exclude further progress whatsoever.

[@konrad303]

Many people miss the concept of utopia being an idealized goal. It is not meant to be actually achieved but serves as orientation to determine the direction a society should progress to. Once progress is made, new imaginary utopian concepts emerge, as new problems need to be solved and new tools become available for it.

[@deltaxcd]

There is no need for evidence as it is not some kind of conspiracy. What I mean is that because of simple logic no matter how do you distribute power between different groups they will al try to grow indefinitely until only one group will stay and other will be exterminated. Globalism essentially skips all that painfull process and gets to the end result in one step. Just like the situation in the Europe, which had many national states that were constantly fighting each other untill finally Hitler came and ended all wars.

[@deltaxcd]

I do not seen any evidence that globalism can foster any conflicts or why it should do that. Plain people benefit a lot from benefit but local elites are pretty unhappy as it takes away their power. Nationalism is opposite of that because local elites thrive in expense of plain people whom they exploit as they want.

The title is a bit (a lot) misleading: Jordan didn't say globalism fails (or has failed). He suggests that disconnected bureaucratic schemes that don't take culture and tradition into consideration aren't sustainable. He's right. And insofar that one aspect of globalism entails flooding homogeneous societies with millions of people from completely different cultures, I would say that ONE aspect of globalism is unsustainable. But from an informed economic perspective, ECONOMIC globalism makes a TON of sense and leads to improved economic conditions GLOBALLY. This is something that nationalism TOTALLY get wrong. Likewise, globalism that encourages QUALIFIED immigrants (ones that aren't radicalized or EASILY radicalized) from 2nd & 3rd world countries to enter 1st world countries benefits everyone except racists and irrational xenophobes.

Brian CT economic globalism only works if we never fight with each other ever again. We can have a global interconnected economy without needing government bureaucrats taking substantial shares. Beyond that a perfectly globalised economy is a horrific idea because you're relying on others to give you your goods. You need a mixture of exporting, importing, and diversification of your own production else you become too big, too large, and then when it does collapse is a far worse than it should have been. A global economy is completely different from the idea of globalization of the government and should never even been conflated. The government has no right to exist within the conversation.

Brian CT _Globalism that encourages QUALIFIED immigrants (ones that are not radicalized or easily radicalized) from 2nd and 3rd countries to enter 1st world countries benefits everyone except racists and irrational xenophobes_ So the only reason someone would disagree with this view of yours is muh racism and xenophobia. This alone should disqualify you tbh. Agree with me or you're a racist. You do realize that an immigrant can be both not radical yet still culturally incompatible right? You do realize that the majority of 3rd world immigrants don't give a fuck about the dominant parent culture and large numbers of them even hold incompatible values, not to mention having much higher birth rates than natives, so they end up segregating themselves in parallel communities. Only an idealistic idiot would think literally everybody should agree this is good for the country unless they're wacist or xenophobic, that is of course even setting aside the majority of 3rd world immigrants to Europe (for example) are not qualified to begin with so your argument is more hypothetical. Also I love the _not easily radicalized_ part. It is as if that's reassuring enough to be let into a country. Come on guys he can be radicalized, but not that easily! You gotta radicalize him well so he's fine. Let him in.

[@destinedtobedifferent9921]

I have such a hard time thinking economically. I'm supposed to write a paper about "Globalism vs Isolationism", from an economic standpoint, but I can't help but do it from a political one. Here is the draft for my paper: I think that the United States should move more towards isolationism, because it is more achievable than globalism. This is because they are both trying to achieve unification, but globalism is trying to achieve it on a much larger scale. If it is hard for US states to come together and make policies that they will all agree with, it will be even harder for different countries to do so. This is because as the scale increases, people become vastly more different, and more and more compromises must be made to make the other side “happy”. At some point, the cost of compromising outweighs the benefits. Complete globalism would require all of the countries in the world to share the same societal values, which would effectively eliminate culture. Complete isolationism (on a national level) would have countries doing whatever they wanted within their own borders, and not interacting with any other countries. This is achievable, but it would cause a lack of resources and security if other countries are interacting. If a completely isolationist country tried to become more globalist, it would have to give up some of its economic policies to work with another country. I think that the United States (and all other countries, if they want to be happy) should put their own value system first and then the values of other countries second. In a world with one person, everybody does what they want. Everyone is has complete freedom. what this really means is sacrificing your own beliefs to appease the other side. Groups become much more different from each other on a bigger scale compared to a small one is is because I believe people will always have their differences and that we can’t and shouldn’t try to become all one society. I think that it would be better for countries to decide for their own what values they want to have

I confess I admire the way he thinks, but I will also give myself the liberty to address some points: 2:11 This is an excellent argument against a divine paradise, it will crumble under the weight of it's perfection. 5:00 On the subject of relating to nationalism and tradition, It's come with an array of problems and dangers seeing that it's a nationalism is a bottomless pit, in itself it could prove fatal as the case of Iraq, Libya and Syria and across the Arab world there are demands from many people including myself to abolish the Arabian identity from their countries. From my perspective a utopian system will definitely fail because it no longer provides challenge to keep the people interested, but failing and dismissing the merits of the idea of a global system and it's not about building a utopia as much it's about safeguarding the human species and prevent them from wasting time and resources on petty squabbles but rather direct our attention to the opportunities and dangers this cosmos holds for us, I am afraid we might shamefully cause our own extinction. These are my thoughts.

[@ciozara]

[@konrad303]

Concerning Petersons point around @5:00: Many, if not to some degree all nations historically came into existence in a quite imposed manner. The ordinary people did not decide which territory was claimed by rulers. It just happened, and they had to cope with it. So the common history people of a nation share is often more an artificially constructed narrative than really personally shared experiences. And the people of the EU share a larger narrative than those of single nations, just as single regions of a nation have different traditions and often quite strong regional identities. This is especially true also for the USA, which hosts people who immigrated from all over the world. Still, there's a strong common narrative which unites them, once they're American. In Canada, which likewise became home of a huge number of immigrants, there even are two official languages spoken in different parts of the country, nevertheless there is a common national identity. So, these identities can change, they are cultural constructs, and culture progresses.

[@BladeValant546]

I will say this, there is a stark issue with definitions of words here. First of all, his definition of globalism and nationalism is tragically over simplified to the point the semantics are a major issue. I will not assume he simply manipulated definitions to suit his perceptive and assume it might be in Globalism-the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis. This is the simple dictionary definition. How it pertains to the modern era is simply because of the evolution of technology. With this definition, it assert merely an effect from a cause, this cause is the introduction of fast transportation and communication. This has created a system by this countries are now interconnected. Their connections are economic and now increasingly politically and socially. This is a 100% unavoidable side effect of technological evolution. It needs to happen, once we drop our more primitive tribalism and accept and view ourselves as a species we can better use the planets resources. It is simply put going to continue to happen, and it needs to happen. However, as it seems to be used in this context is some kind of strange perception it is an intentional dissolution of the nations for some nefarious reason that no one can seem to ever fully articulate. They say globalism, but they never specify particular aspects that are bad. Now if there is something I am overlooking please share. nationalism- (assuming this definition) -advocacy of political independence for a particular country. Now this is where there is a strong segment of the human population that views this kind of tribalism as primitive and and they "don't get it", same people view greed and overt selfishness as also equally as primitive and "don't get it" . So, in short I fail to see as many do the need for the preservation of any independent nations; as I am defining independent, I am meaning different governments and isolation of its peoples and political and social mechanisms. Now, if you have read this far I am not stating any cultural or heritage related preservation should be erased or discourage. Legacy is a major component in terms of self identity. So being German, being Italian, being chinese, being American , and being etc I would say is till there. However, thinking proactively and not short sighted, we as a globe need to stop looking at each other nations as "us and them" instead unite under agreed too and logical/rational social, economic, and political structure. Now i will touch briefly on the common argument, "human nature". This is not a panacea nor is it good to over simplify what human nature is. Humans are social creatures and we will always trends towards herding together. Sapience adds deep levels of complexity to human species behaviors. However, evolution and growth changes our behaviors. We now through neuro-science know various form of anti social behaviors and their neurological links.The behaviors that screw this up are sociopathic and psychopathic brains performing anti social behaviors. Also, the American ideology of consumerism and corporatism has breed entire generations favoring this kind of destructive behaviors. These are now finding out to be able to be treated, once these kinds of issues are treated we wont have the same human flaws. I cannot go into depth as that would be an essay, but we need to start thinking bigger and more umbrella...this notion I am German therefore Germany should be and always be germany no matter what is destructive..and honestly a psychological projection of one's one over self importance over the reality.

Instead I found people throwing away recyclable bottles in the trash literally 2 feet away from the fucking recycling bin. Needless to say, I was immediately jaded by my experience and had an inkling back then that the university system was full of shit. Now we know that it’s absolutely a scam and that an entire generation of people are paying for this dream that their parents promised but didn’t actually exist. Still such a disappointment knowing that there are so many ridiculously mindless people that get degrees. It almost makes my degree feel entirely meaningless which sucks because I worked so goddamn hard for it. (I say almost because I did major in science so there is some value to it in the marketplace.)

the fact that peterson can talk about god shows how the jews and christianity through an empire can force culture over time, at all costs

[@warlocksden]

religion has been created out of culture, the idea that one way of life is more important than anothers is what creates religion

thinking is hard work

Or one maybe shouldn't develop such a fixation for a 19th century novelist.

Ed Gepixel Age is just a number ;)

Or maybe we should give an ear to voices that speak from real world, gritty experience rather that some academic elite in his ivory tower.

+Alosy 77 Nothing better to do than finding reasons to be bitchy on the internet? Such a pathetic thing you are.

[@edgepixel8467]

+Alosy 77 You're beginning to be funny. Go on. And try to vary your insults a bit. Or maybe your wit doesn't even go that far?

Exactly he puts everything I know into words. He helps me understand and articulate all the things I have tried to learn and understand.

What does anybody see in this guys lectures???? He sounds very well read but has no insight into anything. He's communicating simple ideas in a generalized fashion sprinkled with references to scholarly publications as if to make the points seem more intellectual.

[@Sean5381]

How many of his lectures have you watched?

[@spex357]

On the button as usual, thanks Jordan.

Every time I listen to Peterson my reading list grows!
