2017 Personality 08: Carl Jung and the Lion King (Part 2)

In this lecture, I finish my analysis of Disney's Lion King, which provides a dramatic representation of many of the archetypes identified and analyzed by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, student of Nietzsche and Freud, and originator of analytical psychology.

"Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe."

Thank you Jordan for putting your lectures online for free. As someone who didn't go to Uni I find your lessons invaluable.

Just leaving a few notes for myself...

[@aliasmassistance5807]

The reason you remember the past isn't to make an objectively accurate record of the past, it's so that you can use the information in the past to prepare you for the future.

This is the most dense and mindblowing lecture I've ever heard. Unlike my old college professors, Peterson's tangents add so much to the conversation.

"you have to be a fool if you want to learn anything new". Hearing it phrased that way just changed my life I think.

[@molchlurch]

First! These lectures are the best thing to happen on youtube in quite some time.

[@ThatWhatIs393]

The fact that one can watch these great lectures for free is something to be grateful for

I'm just totally floored how anyone could say anything bad about Jordan Peterson. He's just an honest, intelligent person trying to make sense of the world and pass on what he learns to all of us.

"An archetype is a meme, but it's a very, very, very DANK meme"

[@PsychedelicFootball]

This is truly amazing. I am not exaggerating when I say this, but Dr. Peterson, your lectures are changing my life in an unprecedented way. Please don't EVER stop posting.

I love how he dives deep and seems to drift but ties down his points back to Lion King. Absolute genius and reincarnation of the Big Masters.

[@samwinchester6764]

He pretends to not know certain facts from the Lion King in order make his class participate (by helping "jog" his memory) as well as to make sure they're actively listening to his lecture...the man is a genius.

I get a free lecture, from one of the best teachers in the world. I am sorry, but traditional higher education BA degree does not seem as attractive for 100k of debt in the US.

Hearing all of this conversation about conscientiousness vs. openness makes me wonder if parents who are very high in conscientiousness (to an unhealthy level) can traumatize a child who is of a more open nature. Especially when the child feels the parent's disgust towards what the parent feels is a weakness in the child. Both of my parents are VERY conscientious and I definitely remember as a child feeling that disgust Dr. Peterson talks about directed towards me. I have struggled with low self-esteem and depression since I was a teenager. Thank you Dr. Peterson; that part of the lecture put a lot of things into perspective for me.

[@KUCHYRock]

Notice that he always receives applause from the class. I have a master's degree, but I do not recall that any class I was ever part of would applaud a professor for the material he just completed teaching. As a matter of fact, we were all kind of glad the class was over. Granted I went to CSUN, not Harvard, but still... I find this admirable.
