Everything that leaves Jordan Peterson’s Brain and is verbalized is pure Poetry. He speaks the truth

[@zenostrixster]

His truth ,always remember that there is no real truth and no one can really know it all. So while he is speaking the truth. You should always do your own thinking and test it out. I hate blind beleif. So that is why I'm really warning you. The internet is full of advice and most of it is quite useless .

[@Truthseekingcatholic]

There’s only one truth- there’s no such thing as your truth or my truth-. Stop lying.

[@junevandermark952]

Just because Jordan is certain that he is giving you truth ... doesn't mean that he is speaking literal truth. I suggest that rather than the words “fact” or “truth” … for human imaginations gone wild … the word “truthiness is far more fitting. Truthiness "act or quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than those known to be true," catch word popularized in this sense by U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert, declared by American Dialect Society to be "2005 Word of the Year."

[@samuelhass9035]

For what it's worth, I will say from experience that there's nothing that should be prioritised more than the truth ( or not lying). I had a mental health crisis lasting over a year during which I felt extremely unsafe and anxious. I was suffering so badly that I was just desperate to make it stop, whatever it took. In elevating it to the top of my hierarchy of values, I said things I knew to be not true. I then went to therapy wherein I was just going through all the knots that were tied in my psyche. Although some of these were consequences of mistreatment from others, the most significant knots were resultant from my own wrongdoings. Therefore, I would say to try and not put so much value on what you want or even what you think you need. No matter the circumstance, don't lie and see what happens next; in my opinion, it'll be the best outcome possible.

[@sammywilliam8156]

I did a stupid move today putting my cell phone in my swimming trunks pocket for guys they were in there. Welcome to the pool and now stay with it. I called in my dad and I left him a voicemail. I know when he gets home. I'm gonna be in trouble, but you know what? I'm not in trouble for a line and at least if he were to ask anyone in the trailer park. What happened? It's not gonna come back to him that I lied.

[@jaykeen3846]

I feel the same way! My past still eats away at me

[@kurt120032002]

I remember writing a paper in my 2nd year, well knowing it will be against the personal believes and values of the professor. The argument was not logical but presented both sides pro and against and concluded why the pro argument was the best. I was very surprised to get a 9/10, and I do agree it was not a 10/10 paper (yes we do use 1-10 marks), and not only I instantly gain respect for that teacher, but it also stuck with me as beacon of morality, so not lying or not being dishonest is not only not changing you for the worse but it also shifts other people perspective.

[@zenostrixster]

That's a really cool story. I also know that when you speak the truth. You speak much better with much confidence. Because I think there isnt any internal conflict and you know it you don't have to think other than to articulate

Thank God for you! I still support your core teachings although the DW and Ben Shapiro are starting to influence your ideas in some specific domains. Not in this video, but in other ones.

[@stopdropnroll]

Stop lying, there is no god.

[@belogical3961]

Do not deny yourself, which is equivalent to a lie because it's not how you really truly feel inside. I love that Dr Peterson says when you tell the truth, that's when the real adventure begins And it has to be Real because you are now walking in the truth as far as you know it. That has been the greatest motivator to tell the truth for me personally. I have tested it out and it is truly a more fruitful life and I am excited and curious where sometimes the truth will take me because I have some rather embarrassing truths about myself. With life has been rendered so beautiful because of it. I love my Father in Heaven and all the things He has done, and had me do, in order to be so so much closer to Him like he craves all of us could be like.

[@blue_shiner]

I remember when I first started college, I'd discovered this on my own in writing papers. At first, I was writing what I thought others wanted to hear; my professors, whoever. I had begun writing my final essay for the year when I realized that what I was doing... sucked. It was uninpsired, plain-as-tofu, and was like beating my soul into submission. So I started to let loose on the paper, writing exactly what I thought about the school's policy (both the upsides and the downsides). This was the greatest joy I ever felt in academia up to that point. It was the moment I realized; "What I have to say is not only singular, but it's real". There's no greater revelation in the world.

[@Criwindustries]

I've never considered this but there are levels if lying. 1. To repeat an known untruth. 2. To make it up concerning your own actions. 3. To lie about others. The last one is by far to me the worse.

[@cheymcloughlin6366]

Building a metaphorical net to catch the lies before they leave your lips is a decent start. The only decent long term strategy though, is to craft and shape your thoughts. In each moment, take ownership of the direction of your thoughts, which turns into minutes then hours then days then months then years of essentially good honest thoughts. Which in turn, crafts and shapes your words and actions into ones of truth. In my opinion, your life can't really go in the right direction without doing so. Not speaking lies feels good, not thinking lies at all feels like bliss

[@thefinancialreport2663]

getting by, by having mostly only a shallow understanding of most things.... --- Often you dont know the truth/facts..... ;;... What about facts.... not to brag but I have a rather high IQ and enjoy learning so I know a lot (Im not a genius though); I often know much more than the other people in the room, so when other people are saying stuff (often mostly women to just talk, social conversation), I know that what they are saying is wrong and unfounded (I dont mean opinions, I mean facts = the truth?). Its pretty difficult to respond to a comment of opinion from someone else, who has the facts wrong. BUT people dont like to be corrected for various reasons (it seems for some its a narcissistic injury, for others is just social talk and they consider corrections rude, etc...).... No fun in those conversations for me.

I don't think he does, he never said that and he is humble enough to acknowledge his limits. He admits if he doesn't know something and is continually searching for answers.

He is not claiming anything either, when he talks about the Bible he is always relating it to some sort of personal experience. In a way he isn't preaching, he is reiterating the truth that has happened to his life, or in the life of others, and the Bible has the ideas that those experience represent.

You develing into philosophy, which you are hardly qualified as a clinical psychologist to have an expert opinion about. You have zero background in. It is a relative universe. Any description of the "truth" must define the frame of reference the method of observation, the state of the observed in the frame of reference and the state of the observers. With specifying the above, the truth turns out to an opinion that is either shared or not shared by the majority. Since science is no at all interest in the truth, those claiming to have found some scientific truth clearly do not understand science and it's methods. Science seeks to uphold a hypothesis about the nature of a phenomenon. Even if confirmed by numerous observations it only takes one instance of an exception to disconfirm it. 😂
