A few notes I'm leaving for myself... 14:20 How to really get to know someone. 18:48 Most of the time people have problems, not psychological problems. 22:19 Making your anxiety work for you!!! ... 33:16 (Starts before this) The philosophy / psychology behind "clean your room." 40:08 "How to have a conversation" and "The curative exchange of truth." 46:26 Listening and empathetic understanding.

46:40 "If you're having a conversation with someone, and it's dull, it's because you're stupid." Hilarious and heroic. It's refreshing how Peterson doesn't hedge his speech to the degree most academics do.

[@jakovkrsovnik1973]

Dr. Peterson is a very interesting and smart man. But I don't agree with that statement. With some people you just do not share enough life experience or knowledge to lead an interesting conversation. Although, maybe this sentence is taken out of context. I first read the comments, before starting the video :')

thatblessedday not a true statement from him. Many people stay in mundane conversation points to avoid personal connection.

[@dioblo78]

This ties in with his lecture near the end, around 40:00. If your intentions with speaking to someone is to derive something truthful/useful, then the chances of that occuring is high. Even if 49 out 50 things that person said is useless, and you derive one useful thing (probably something you disagree with, or even hate), then it's a conversation worth having. That said, its mentally taxing and as one of the responders above said, uncomfortable at times. That's why people dont do it.

Q: Why should you even bother improving yourself? A: So you don't suffer any more stupidly than you have to. This is so brilliant, it literally changed my life. I remember listening to this 2 years ago. It was 2am and I was lying on my bed, feeling like nothing has any meaning, nothing really matters and I truly was suffering from that. You can say that nihilism was devouring me whole. I was mindlessly watching KZbin when I saw Jordan's random clip. I clicked it and it was a fragment of this lecture with the above quote. When I heard that quote, I felt like a lightning struck me. This was THE answer to my suffering! I jumped out of my bed, wrote this down and put it on my fridge. Then I started cleaning up my apartment - at 2am, while listening to more of Jordan. This man truly changed my life, I am a different, more complete person with a solid sense of purpose. This man is a treasure.

That's my thought when watching these lectures. Don't get me wrong, they are incredibly informative and useful, but sometimes he might spend too much time explaining side ideas instead of walking us through the main topic. I would prefer him to dig into Phenomenology more in this video. I notice lectures' length varies through the years, so it would be better to check the older ones. For example, in 2015, he spent nearly 2 and a half an hour for Freud, but only 48 mins in 2017.

[@hennyzhi2261]

Peterson's definition of truth is inherently grounded in a telos, or end, that can not be justified according to the modern scientific notion of truth. He believes that what is true is what brings about life, and consequently what is false brings about death. Science claims all subjective feelings about life and death, good and evil, lie outside of truth values. Things are what they are. But you can't falsify Peterson's claim because it does not completely rely on one existence.

[@mirrormirrorproductions1978]

You are just so engaging Dr Peterson, I watch you simultaneously with my undergraduate Bsc in Psychology as a Mature student. Cant tell you how much your words impact me. Thank you . I m Working on an essay "Can attitudes predict behaviour" . I have taken away from your lectures, the integration of the two spheres. I like what you said about the tree and then went further, is there a tree, I thought the same thing that we are always needing witness to our experiences but still that dose not make ones experience the same as the observer. I come from an arts background in Acting and also Costume design so the intersection of the Being in the character and actor has always been a synchronistic movement for me. Makes me think about what you said in reference to Jung and Rogers and Piaget with the extension of self and the field of total experience an extension of being in the outside world. I see the continuous continuum one does to know they self, through the placement and participation with their outside world and in pursuit of a ' pain free' reflection of the self from that. Yet can only be truly valuable if the inner being the self is valued. But in saying all that I see that pain as you describe gives oneself the ability to be present to be Alive. We humans are truly remarkable, dynamic and resourceful to the point of limitless possibities to the integration of the self and that in the extension of self in the world. The survival of our species is the continuous intergration of the human experience. Back to my essay question I find it a very singular brushstroke, diluiting the marriage and dance that out physiological and psychological, mind and body has to offer. The duality that human experience to be definitive and predictable. Its this isolation that you say would freeze the infinite possibilities of a person in the moment of reacting to a stimuli. The take away here is one must Fight or Flight to at least 'Do' something to make a change - to have an experience: hence a purpose and meaning, otherwise we are just floating in the wind-Invisible. ( for some people that is a good thing) As you said DR Peterson to strip the subjectivity out of the world. There is more power I believe in ' the Doing' then the passive to simply think and feel . Even if you just think about something nothing is going to change unless you do something about it. You action your thoughts and emotions, towards something; an aim, adding on from the part you spoke about the genuine intentions to aim towards something and the world will reconfigure to manifest your actualisation. One the surface attitudes do fall in line with our behaviour, Yet it's the actual power of ones actions ones behaviour which is the true predictor of the person. We learnt about Self perception, I find it in my text book and empirically described as if a person has a weak to ambiguous understanding of their attitudes. For some reason that does not resonate with me. Not to say people should go around just acting on impulse with no ethical responsibility. It makes me think about your other lecture and snippet I saw about the zebras and motivation to be invisible stuck out with me. It we as an individual in a society is too self aware and not able to stand out from the herd always censoring our or internalising our responses to a stimuli in a way does lead to anxiety depression and neuroticism. In the words of Lisa Minnelli " What good sitting all alone in your room, Come hear the music play, Oh! Life is a Cabaret Oh! Chum, so come to the Caberet!" I. think thats why I like the arts and the ability to 'act out' my attitudes towards a script and develop the characters behaviours. But life isn't scripted or is it for some! I will keep writing but better stop, for now, as the topic is very broad. I thank you for your time DR Peterson. I just would like you to know how much I value your mind your integration in this world. Sometimes words can't express enough so if anything Im sending you a virtual smile and hug Dr Peterson as corny as that sounds. :) o Kindest regards Fiona Victoria Hopkins.

That was amazing, indeed listening and not demolishing an idea but actually using the power of summarising in order to achieve mind and feeling congruence is the hardest thing I have to deal with in my lvl 5 Counselling

[@callumscott5107]

Today my brother had a bit of an anger tantrum after his own glasses broke, and my dad got frustrated with my brother because he gets so easily wound up by these things and "takes them out on other people", which of course only makes him feel more angry. He asked my brother to explain himself, but my brother didn't want to explain himself because he knew that all my dad would do is criticise him for the feelings and opinions he might disclose. Because of the environment my parents have constructed, my brother and I learned early on to never really open up to anyone about our feelings, and we've developed a sense of shame about our emotions that just fuels the anger and discomfort that we've felt even more. After failing my Physics degree two years ago, I've spent every single day, with the help of counselling, trying to overcome what I've been put through. Well, for the first time in his 13 years of him living, today I sat by his bed as he hid under his bedsheets, away from the family so that he could hide his anger, and I cried. I sat for 15 minutes in silence trying to squeeze out the same words that kept looping around in my head, to tell him that I just want to listen to him. To my pleasant surprise, he wasn't like me with my difficulties with learned helplessness, once I plucked up the courage to start a kind of conversation that we'd never had before, he pulled his head out from under the covers and he actually spoke about how he felt. I had the urge at several points to tell him what my own assessment of his situation was based on my own experience going through what he's going through, but instead I just listened and he spoke. I told him that it's OK to be angry, that I understand him, and I spoke about my experience and my own feelings, and I feel like something's finally really changed in our relationship for the better and I'm trying my best to keep it that way. If it weren't for discovering Dr. Peterson two years ago, I probably wouldn't be pursuing the degree in Psychology and Linguistics that I am, my brother would probably go on to endure the same suffering and make the same mistakes that I did, and frankly I probably would have killed myself. No amount of written gratitude can ever do justice to what his work has helped me to overcome, but I try to convey it nonetheless. If you ever read this Jordan, thank you -- so much.

[@heinuchung8680]

If a tree falls it does make a sound you just didn’t hear it. We know this due to vibrations and not to mention a sound is not predicated upon you hearing that sound. It’s like saying a man on the other side of the country doesn’t die just because you didn’t see it. You hearing or seeing something and understand that is actually a Piaget process with children. For awhile children cannot understand this.

[@Tschinka7]

@@heinuchung8680 That's what I also always thought. Thus, I never really understood the need to ask this question at all: "If you're not there, did the sound even exist?" Well, depends on how you define sound! If sound is something that first emerges once you perceive a set of vibrations with your ears, then no. If sound defines as the vibrations it self, then yes. But what's up with this question of "did the tree even exist?". What is there that I did not get? Hmm

[@andrewternet8370]

@@Tschinka7 Does language exist without a subject? Peterson is essentially pointing out that our level of perception is dependent on the perciever- that our perception is regulated by our values. One cannot objectively determine whether to see a "tree" as wood surrounded by bark or as a bundle of arrayed carbon atoms.

This is fantastic, man. Thanks!

When I watch one of his amazing lectures, and I just dont seem moved, inspired or at least challenged, I listen again. And again if neccessary, because i find I missed one or several important points.

I used to live at a Zen Center and they always said that the state of your room is a reflection of your mind. I still utilize this tool daily to assess my psychology.

[@daviddean238]

Thank you Mr. Peterson

It's pretty incredible that his students applaud him after every lecture. With the exception of the last day of classes, I haven't been in a single class where that happens.

Sometimes you're forced to expand your domain of competence, such as when the floor under your toilet rots away and there's no one willing to be hired for the job so you have to do it yourself. Then your life will be much improved, when you finish and have a working toilet in your house again. Always making me feel better, Dr. Peterson.

I'm not sure why all of this isn't mainstream knowledge, and it makes me sad that it isn't

[@SonyaMun]

Just hypnotizing, as always

The establishment of the therapeutic alliance and communication is the basis of a great podcast.

I'm starting a Fenomenology Coaching training for 6 month in a few more weeks. Than you for sharing Jordan Petersons classes.

[@ProfessorMystic]

Great. Thank you. I was a psych major way back when and I wish they would have taught this stuff.

[@BitterBucolic1]

Dr Peterson creates heroes.
