I started watching Peterson lectures in 2016. I was alone and in a dead end job. Could hardly afford my own apartment. In five years- after doing the self authoring program- I got a graduate degree, completed a career change doubling my income, met my now wife, bought a home, and I just rocked my 3 month son to sleep. He’s just as man, but damn does this lecture series and self authoring work if you do it honestly and courageously.

22:26 - Reflex versus Conscious choice/representation. 27:15 - Jordan Peterson on how he handles his son and daughter. (funny) 36:20 - Reward for doing some good/paying attention to something that your fellows are proud of. 39:09 - If you don't have your child socialized by the time they are 4, you can't rectify it. 47:05 - Competitions and cooperation. You're trying to win, but at the same time you're cooperating. That's society, you're cooperating, that's the big enclosure, and within that there are regulated competitions. (Anku rejects this structure and wins by any means necessary, he also takes advantage of the natural expectation for cooperation (too an extent)). 55:18 - Having a goal, and moving towards it yields positive emotion. 58:40 - Writer of Pinnochio and collaboration of artistic geniuses to tell a good story. 1:03:45 - Story of a child having dreams/nightmares. 1:20:23 - We have achieved so much technological advancement/advances in other fields of science et cetera, but we are still unwise. 1:30:42 - Unit 731 and Alexander Pope 1:35:49 - Story of woman who had nothing going for her, but still chose to help others who were worse off. 1:43:25 - Jiminy Cricket in Pinnochio, his role as the conscience in of Pinnochio and how he turns from fool to saviour. (Also the fact the he is an insect/bug, and your conscience is something that bugs you). 1:52:38 - Marionettes, what they are and how they relate to humans. 1:58:37 - Nature, Culture and you. 2:04:26 - Divinity of the individual and the law's respect for that divinity. Jordan Peterson once again highlights that he looks at what people do and not at what they say.

This is like the parenting lesson most of are generation never got because are moms and Dads were to busy working and been mad at each other.

[@woodeniron9999]

I was thinking about it the other day and it's quite spot on. One of the multiple values i think people find in Dr Peterson's work, including me, is some sort of practical guiding structured knowledge/wisdom. Even if i can't see how someone can walk out of any video without learning tremendous things, i have the impression that what we take from here is essential. Say, a solid structure to build upon not anything you can do without in life. Maybe one of the manners to pay what we owe is to extract every bit of value in this videos... And Patreon lol.

[@jonnekytola5513]

I definitely agree. As a 25 year old relatively smart but kinda drifting dude I feel like Peterson is actually making me go into the belly of the whale, so to speak. Who knows, maybe everything will be shattered again at some point, but Peterson is definitely the first person to really make me understand the values and the value of those values, that the education system and those working/fighting Moms and Dads were unable to convey properly.

I was recently thinking that it seems children are raised by the state once they reach 4-5 years old. And they may be raised by babysitters even before that. They spend around 6 hours a day 5 days a week at (usually) public schools, and later spend even more time at school. The parents are supposed to have more control over their kids than the school administrators, but I don't think it's unreasonable to believe teachers and staff of schools take on a broken kind of parenthood. It may have worked for some time, but not any more it seems. Just another societal problem.

[@Mayonaised]

Usually, when a professor goes off on tangents, students' attention weakens and therefore the content is not properly absorbed. However, Peterson's tangents consistently illuminate the lecture. Amazingly effective.

[@joshuafischer684]

Peterson's lectures are entirely tangents which makes them so easy to understand

[@nishaandshaan]

That is very unique observation and it is so true . Tangents are normally being used by him to shed more light on the subject in the lecture and you will not even know . Highly educational and literally uplifting.

[@evrardevrard9967]

Glad to see these comments as I was thinking how tangential his lectures were almost thought disordered. This is why I think most people comment that they understand about 20-30%. His style is one of free association which is interesting as his anecdotes are less interesting in isolation but in his style as a collective is more interesting. Given his style, seeing his eye contact, love of facts with less emotions, he's almost certainly neurodivergent.

Was raised taught to be as harmless and unoffensive as possible. The anxiety nearly killed me, as it continues to suck the life out of other members of my family. Thing about being harmless is you become a parasite who depends on others to be “human”, if you’re lucky. Best night of my life was when it finally struck me; “what if I just actually BE selfish and aggressive? Would I actually be bad?” Oddly enough; at least with my personality, the more selfish and grabby-grabby I am, the more I’m able to exercise wanton generosity and manic positivity. When I’m caught up on being a suffering harmless victim, is when I’m actually at my most bitter and resentful. Selfishness isn’t just one thing like people think it is.

Imitation of SJW

[@antanaskiselis7919]

It's when someone tries to counter arguments with appeal to subjective emotion or interpretation which does not correspond to reality in most cases. For example you offer strong representation of reality incompasing nuance and come up with maybe not as comforting conclusions as a result of that. But the opposite side instead of dealing with actual contents of the argument relapses into narrow subjective interpretation of once stance and repeats same argument in cycle. This constant repetition of same narrative and lack of will to engage with actual argument causes frustration because no matter what you do conversation cannot develop. As a result meme was born to give picture to that frustration as "But muh respegt" or "but muh holy buk" or "but muh race". It's not limited to sjw. It also goes for alt-rightist or any other ideologues when their ideology is being broken apart. In that light replase into ideological structures looks like irrational defense mechanism which looks ridiculous. Drowning man grabbing of straw. Therefor the mocking misuse of grammar used in the memes. Example of this can be kraut and tea video "but muh holy buk". Or "but muh nazi memes" to point how ridiculous alt-right is. While format is a bit different is same intent.

Happy to be your 90th like. I am glad to see Peterson is doing much better. On a separate topic, I would love to hear his take on the COVID situation and how people reacted to it. I’ll take a crack at it, but some things really bother me about how to understand it... The conservative types want to open the country, while the liberal types tend to want to buckle down and close it all down, until it’s “gone”. I have trouble with this. Since conservatives have a strong disgust trigger, you would think they would want the “disgusting virus” to be wiped out completely. Nice and clean and closed down. But we don’t see this!! We see the conservatives want things to open up and keep the economy from collapsing. If I had to guess, it’s probably because of the tend for conservatives to be conscientious and want to work work work and keep the damn system going in a traditional (borders, no change) sense to keep capitalism going strong. The liberals have high neuroticism, so they are afraid of the virus and want everyone to lock down to avoid contamination. It’s very troubling that this becomes a right versus left division when it comes to the virus, but it certainly has. I wonder what Peterson would say about these current trends. No matter how you feel, politically, I want the world to get through this with people coming together and this hasn’t happened. Hopefully when he recovers, he will talk a little about the currently situation regarding these matters. I hope you don’t mind that I posted this irrelevant statement, but I value the opinions of those who appreciate Peterson and would also love any critiques or thoughts on my statements above.

I think it's attributable to a few things, at least partially: (1) Most people generally aren't trying to be the best they possibly can be, and therefore aren't particularly worthy of imitation, and thus your attentional systems aren't gripped by them. (2) The rigidity of the curriculum of primary/elementary and high schools, which constrains even a passionate and worthwhile teachers ability to keep students engaged by function of content choice falling largely not under the control of the teacher. Something like that anyway.

I am proud to say I have watched all of the Biblical Series, now I cannot wait to learn much more from Dr. Peterson. Many of these concepts are reinforced across a plethora of his content, slowly engraving them in my mind so that they can become not only accessible to memory, but practical in my life. Thank you Jordan Peterson, I aspire to dedicate myself to positive causes in a manner such as you have!

[@SanjuroSan]

I wish he was in every school in America.

[@SanjuroSan]

***** Even better!

[@SanjuroSan]

I know it is impossible for him to be in every school in America, the comment was clearly praising him by illustrating his worth. It wasn't a literal statement.

[@katjamoltgen5452]

its not impossible, on one level he already IS. The point is the lesson needs to be found and invited by a search and a klick. The modern vampyr story, told by a digital native. ^^

[@TheShrimpBaby]

Mastery of the material.

[@igooog]

It's a course over a book he wrote across 30+ years. It's his life.

[@theyliveglasses4667]

To me this level of mastery is what genius looks like. I genuinely think people will study Peterson's work in the future the way we study Jung, Freud, Nietszche etc now. I think in a way it's hard for us to comprehend how important this is while it is happening.

[@heksail]

TheyLiveGlasses definitely. Nietzsche said something along the lines of not being able to tell who the greatest thinkers are of contemporary times; only posterity can judge that, but it's hard to imagine that petersons words won't be cherished for possibly hundreds of years

[@Cambz]

Maybe hard to comprehend how important it is when history is written. But at the moment I'm in awe and I know a lot of people are being affected by this guy.

[@NodeEntry]

Jordan, Thank you so much for uploading these videos. I was going through a bout of slight depression (i.e. asking myself what's the point) and after listening to your perspective, especially with MoM, I was able to lift my head up and start working again on my graduate work again. Thanks for all of the hours of work you put into refining your thoughts; it's been really helpful for me.

Dr Peterson. thank you for sharing tour lectures online. I think it is wonderful that you are sharing so much knowledge and years of your personal hard work and education with us all free of charge. I have always love psychology since my first semester of college, when it was required for nearly all degrees. I wound up loving it. My professor had a wonderful way of teaching that you remind me of. For example...a lecture on cause and effect, he deliberately made a long boring lecture and during that lecture he started getting a lower, boring tone of voice, monotone, and the entire class was bored and nearly falling asleep. out of nowhere he made his way to the heater and kicked very hard making a loud bang and said "cause" pointing at the heater, "effect" pointing at us. He also was able to bring in an actual slice of a human brain (middle top to. bottom about a half inch thick) that showed all the layers of the brain. It was fascinating. He passed it around the class. (it was in a sealed bag that had what I assume was formaldehyde). You remind me of him and the reason I have been hooked on psychology ever since that one required class. Thank you so much Dr Peterson.

This is what you call `advanced` education. You have to want to learn in order to understand what Jordan is trying to teach. The man is an absolutely brilliant lecturer. You need to watch the whole thing to understand this subject.

[@Vicesnake55555]

Thank you very much, Dr Peterson! I am a lone person and I always have these thoughts inside me, gnawing my mind. Your lectures show me that my thoughts are not just mine, in the sense that I am not alone, and that there are people out there who share my similar points of view toward life. It is very strengthening and encouraging to hear your words and feel that this man is speaking what I have deep inside me, the thoughts and feelings that I can rarely share with anyone else, even with close people around me. It makes me feel much more mature and more determined to become the best that I can be no matter how difficult the road ahead is. Once again thank you very much for sharing your wisdom and I hope deeply that someday, I would also be able to have such wisdom so that I in return can pass on my knowledge and help others, like my temporary self, who are in need of guidance.

[@blazearmoru]

This shit's amazing. I love how it's possible to learn like this online ^~^

Cool eh? IMO it's a bigger deal than the industrial revolution and the enlightenment. Maybe bigger than books. Bigger than the printed word. OK, not as big as fire, but this is BIG.... LOL.

Jordan you have literally saved lives with what you do and who you are, endless gratitude

[@MasterJTLS]

Re-watching this series has been profoundly beneficial. The one thing Dr. Peterson said which stuck with me the most is the things you are looking for the most are often hidden within the paces you least want to look. Trying to embody that sentiment both practically and introspectively has been truly terrifying and anxiety inducing and has made me even question my own morality but it has been honestly very transformative and I can not thank Dr. Peterson enough for his words and helping me find the strength to look in the right places. It is true, in order to defeat your demons you must have the strength to look them in the eyes as it's the only way of working out how to defeat them.

[@Zoithane]

[@Hedro82]

In a side tangent of brilliant explanation Jordan proceeds to breeze through thousands of years of interpretation of Genesis, and F ing nails it in under a couple minutes. And in such a way you understand it. I Love this man's thinking and communication skills. Amazing. I've been watching his interpretation of the Bible as well. It's peels back a layer of mystery, and explains it very deeply and understandably. Highly recommend.

[@Acidicmixture]

You know it is a complete crash of your ideals when you understand what reality means and enter your 30's. From feeling like you're going to take over the world to someone who has succumbed to the forces of nature or the order of this world. It sort of becomes really hard to make sense of your life from there. I am not going to just throw is some meaningless praises god knows JP deserves more. The fact that he has read so much and can condense the wisdom in his lectures for the world to view is phenomenal. These challenges that I described above are almost certain to occur for everyone at some point in their lives and having the privilege to listen to these lectures and getting in a position to be able to steer the wheel again is really something.

His teachings should be shown in high schools. I wish I knew about what he was talking about them. I think we do the nation a great disservice by not talking about what makes us human and what we need as human beings and how we survive in this world. So many kids are lost in depression, bad parenting, bullying, abuse and lack of social network and support. I believe if we taught this to kids when they are at such a important area of there lives they could become better adults. He has helped me so much in my life at this point. I cannot stress the service he is providing the world. I believe one day he will be engraved in history. This man is saving this generation and saving people.
