[@iwenolongertrustliars9396]

It's nice to listen to people who have learned some things that work in life, but also double check each other and finally most importantly keep learning what works and sharing it with others. Leave what doesn't work for people and the earth behind where it belongs. Embrace and share what does work to have better lives and futures for as many as possible. Talking about a person spending twenty years strapped to a board in a straight jack in the basement of an insane asylum or hospital sounds like a problem that should have been solved around 19 years and 11+ months sooner as peacefully and wisely as possible. Nobody should live suffering like that any longer than the soonest it can be solved. Error and trial until you find something better!

Murray: "These people have no chance." Please examine the memories of the "White Guards", those who fought with the Bolsheviks ("Red Guards"). They also believed that the Bolsheviks have no chance and that the people would understand everything and after a short time will overthrow the Bolsheviks. I am from Eastern Europe. In my youth, I was a member of the Communist Party, until I was disappointed. You still do not see global coordination and purposefulness of sophisticated actions and the power of these left -wing political movements that have entered into an alliance with bureaucracy and the world oligarchy (see Vivek Ramaswamy). And I also want to ask you to discuss a possible collective resistance plan. This is an illusion that you can defeat them preaching individual stoicism. You cannot defeat them if you are not organized! The tsunami of evil goes to us! God save us! And thank you!

Instead, they admire adepts of any idea that might even sound nice on the surface, from communism to Islamism, as long as it helps to destroy Western civilization. It happened in Russia, it happened in Germany - but these folks learned nothing, because they hate what they have, and they don't understand the idea of gradual improvement, they need the results now.

I am a sixty six year old Woman. I have been diagnosed with many autoimmune illnesses which are slowly changing my way of life. This has made me realize that if I don't control the things I can control like my diet, I am going to become more miserable as I age. As I moniter what I eat, I have learned that I respect myself more. I have found that I can focus now on feeling more sensations that I hadnt remembered since I was a child. The joy of being in a warm bath or pool. Also, the soft feel of a fluffy blanket or petting a cute animal. Beautiful things and music. If we concentrate on our inner self, our other senses come to the fore and fill in the gaps of what we were used to having. I am growing even though I am elderly. It's an amazing thing. I have had to look after myself since I was a small child and I have experienced some terrible things and I was bitter for years. I have come to the conclusion that it is up to me to help me. If I can be less dependant on the outer World and be more dependant on the inner me I have found that I am on another road of self acceptance.

Dear lady ! I m in a similar situation with illnesses cumulating etc. I discovered some remarkable contradictory experiences. That inner happiness is independent from outer circumstances like being paralysed during several hours multiple times daily. The body and brain have a protocol and answer and are able to produce in some way deep in the belly a happiness that is greater that all happiness I ever experienced at once. Perhaps the pressure of the realisation that physical death is coming breaks down the legitimation of unhappy feelings . Like : I am so and so deeply sick thus : I am so and so deeply unhappy. That equation breaks down and sometimes the extraordinary happens. Thank you for your post ! You’re my angel. it helps me in controlling the many things I should not do. In order to ameliorate the paralysis at least now and then.

The search for heroes is a bad sign. Learn everything you can from everyone. But keep your dignity and independence.

Imagine sitting down to dinner with these gentlemen. Wouldn't have to say a word, just listen , eat and thoroughly enjoy. ❤

Oh how I would love this❤

When I mourn for Scruton having passed away, I see Douglas Murray and I realize there is still a heartbeat in the UK.

[@gjesy69]

So very much enjoyed this interview. I really connected with the idea of exposure therapy and facing your fears. As a small child I was absolutely terrified by car washes, I thought these machines were going to break through the windows and we'd die violently. I would have a major melt down, some adults in my family thought it was hilarious to take me through them and watch me go into hysterics, laughing at my terror. But my father took me aside. Explained to me to trust him, I would be safe, he would take me through it and I would be ok. I remember him sitting me in the front seat and knowing that my father (in my childs eye) was the bravest strongest man ever and he would never lie to me, I took a deep breath and sat quietly while we drove through the car wash. I was never afraid again. After listening to this interview I see my father taught me a life skill that day. Ever after when I find fear gripping me by something, I move forward into it, facing my fear, not allowing it to control me. I am ever grateful to my father for moments like this in my life. And it's wonderful to hear JP and DM discuss why this works. To me fear is a flag to pay attention but then not to allow it to over come you. Courage is necessary to live life fully.

Thank you for sharing this memory. What a perfect lesson.

[@ericschaat3612]

I'm genuinely grateful for this video and the conversation presented. I'm a practicing therapist (LCSW) for the past 19 years. I've worked in Drug Court and with veterans, adolescents and now inpatient (suicidal) adults. I am not surprised that non-acceptance and ingratitude (bitterness) causes and prolongs suffering. I'm not discouraged or threatened in any way to challenge victimization, blaming, and demanding things without effort...if I'm drummed out of this profession I will dig potatoes or pour driveways. I appreciate your work, both Doug and Dr. Peterson; and I look forward to more books, content, and continually challenging the pervasive deceptions so many desperately want.

[@nathannall5754]

Similar story here, though I started out with risk assessment in the ER, then went to acute inpatient, and finally moved on to private practice outpatient. I'd be very interested to pick your brain outside of youtube. I'm with a good group of fellow Peterson acolytes, though most are LPCs. I'm the lone LCSW.

[@5thdimension954]

I’m a 35 year Master’s prepared LMSW as well and I had to retire early due to woke culture creeping in on our unit. I refused to play identity games whether it came with pronouns or endorsing “furries” who wanted to be called “kitty”. I was accused of being “trans phobic” and a “Trump lover” but I believed I cared deeply for the mental health well being of patients. I refuse to co-opt in the insanity and happily retired. Thank God! I’ll find other ways of being in service to others

[@AlphariusandOmegon]

Therapists like yourselves are being drummed out of the profession by politically zealous licensures and idealogically bound institutions of "higher" learning.

[@AlphariusandOmegon]

@@AB-nj4ex If you thought it was bad 10 years ago you'd really hate it now because now they beat you over the head with idealogy and then infantilize you with gift cards for feeding them back their own idealogy. What I will say is for most people myself included when you've finally had enough of letting drugs ruin your life and making it a living hell, you can quit no matter where you are. I got sober in a VOA homeless shelter, while I was there I witnessed tremondous abrupt violence, suicide, drugs were everywhere, corruption amongst the staff everything from having sex with residents, aquiring drugs for them, stealing from residents, faking drug test results, planting contraband etc. Yet despite all of that, including a SWAT team raid of the facility after a resident in meth induced psychosis attempted to murder everyone in the facility with a particularly brutal instrument, whom we finally were able to lock in the bathroom where he proceeded to hang himself and die before the SWAT team arrived. Despite all of that horror, depravity and drugs I was able to stay sober and rebuild my life. It took monumental effort but once I realized I was the person causing all of my problems and that my solutions to the vicissitudes of life we're causing my life to be unbearable, I finally reached a bottom from which I could rebuild a foundation for the rest of my life. Point being you can change, no matter where you find yourself.

[@billc5094]

I’m an lpc and I share your sentiments. We’re all here for truth regardless of where it takes us.

[@jonbutton3259]

Long-form discussions between smart people are excellent mental food. These two gentlemen are a couple of the best.

[@owensbama1923]

This should have hundreds of thousands of likes to go with the views. Two great men in my opinion. Always interesting to listen too them.

[@Lastbus2]

I thank God for these two giants of intellect and reason.

[@roelandmuyldermans4013]

The two most courageous men alive talking to each other. What a treat ❤

[@tensevo]

they seem to spend a lot of time explaining how they are not courageous, they just know what to fear, and that is not speaking your mind publicly.

[@acedrafter]

Thank you for sharing this truth stream, shine more light to darkness and empty vessels in the world.

[@brunoserra1531]

Seeing such titans, such legends interact with each other makes me feel really privileged.

[@jasonbeattie4362]

I am very grateful that we have these two brilliant men willing to share their intelligence with the world.

[@johnkaylor8670]

I am so grateful that I actually feel indebted just for being able to just listen to their presentation freely - without compensation. I have never, and mean never found an "informal" discussion so deeply edifying.

[@pollyester6639]

Gosh what class. It’s it so great to be able to hear two great thinkers so accessible and every time they mention a book I go and read it

[@Me84c]

Magnificent discussion, gentleman. Thank you .

[@gdr1174]

Always nice to hear people of high intellect share their well reasoned ideas. When i was younger i thought people like this ran the world and made all the most important decisions... what a shame that often isnt the case 😊

[@shrimpanzee001]

Yes! Douglas Murray is at his best when he is on your show, in my opinion. He seems to be more sincere and passionate here than anywhere else.

[@sparrowt4082]

24:57 "And a faith -- a recognition that the depth is telling you something." Very well put. ❤

[@AR7-15]

“Deep calls to deep..” ✌🏼

[@vizveebee]

What these two great men do so well is ..... listen! They also stop talking and listen when the other interrrupts, so that they have the best linear conversation, and both keep alert and engrossed in it.

[@owjanshahmiri7038]

I love the casual nature of such a profound deep conversation. The type of chat that you have with a dear friend after dinner being served.

[@lynnjonathan8648]

Absolutely brilliant. I hope that you all love this beautiful, conversation as much as my husband and I did. Douglas quoted the late, Clive James at one point, 'Common sense and humour are the same thing moving at different speeds. Humour is common sense dancing'. Beautiful! Let's keep dancing together to find and speak truth. I am so grateful to these two men for being here with us. Much love and many thanks xxx

You should have a talk with him every month! Love the chemistry. You both speak the same language. I bet you enjoy having him as a guess as well. No struggle just interesting conversation! Few people are on the same intellectual level as you… Douglas obviously is! Delightful!

[@jonathanwheeler194]

Just wonderful listening to Douglas Murray. If only I could be one fraction as articulate. Thank you!

[@darrylpike2144]

The knowledge base of these two individuals and the eloquence, fluidity and sensibility of their conversations on any topic is incredible.

This is probably my new favorite interview. I love listening to JP and Douglas Murray talk,

[@MarkCox21125150]

Jordan and Douglas give me hope for the future. Godspeed !

[@Ranchorita]

I listened to this marvelous discussion while pruning in my garden and tidying up for the coming winter, which is the time for growth underground, the strengthening of roots to anchor plants to support them through the brutalities of Texas summer's blast. I found myself similarly fortified. Thank you, gentlemen. ❤ I am refreshed and enriched.

What a beautiful visual and metaphor. Thanks for this.

Love both Douglas Murray and Dr. Jordan Peterson - thank you for this conversation.

[@Lefty248]

Mr. Murray has such a bright smile when he's around people he enjoys being around. It's a different side you don't get to see from the "media." Great interview, lots to think about.

[@alistairmcmillan7984]

SUCH respect to Dr. Peterson for his delving deep into Biblical and other religious narratives and elucidating the meaning for us.

[@diananeuman6222]

But he's not elucidating the meaning. He's filtering it all through jungian thought. He never really gets the true meaning. Jesus' death and resurrection is not just a myth. It happened. For every human on earth. Jesus died for your sins. He is the way to God. He is not a myth.

I needed to hear this. Probably coincidence but my son interrupted the video just before talking about Elijah. I paused it. He said to me I love you mama and then told me a silly dinosaur joke. I’ve been very depressed. I love my son. His name is Elijah aged 9. It brought me comfort and gratitude whatever the reason ❤

Loved Douglas’ sharing from his own life and grandparents generation. Very thought provoking, I’m 68 and made the mistake to start listen in bed… I just had to keep listening and thinking about fear, courage, purposeful living etc… meaningful wonderings about life. So glad you have a community that nourishes mind and character and spirit.

More of this please. Thanks JP and DM!

[@juliah3442]

Douglas Murray is one of the if not the best journalists I have ever heard! ❤️

[@johnkaylor8670]

I'm sorry, but I cannot begin to view Douglas Murray as simply a 'jounalist'. He is so profoundly beyond that. I would consider him a human savant in the truest sense of the term.

[@JuneGrant-l9w]

Fabulous combination, these two intellectuals I could listen to anytime. I would love my grandchildren to take the time to listen to this kind of interview.

What a pleasure to listen to two intelligent and aware people discussing relevant questions. Thank you.
