Learning to Accurately View the World

[@ellachallas]

One of the best things about living in this day and age is having access to lectures and speeches from someone like Jordan Peterson!

[@Ko_Qc]

right ;d and if you love to learn about things we have so much knowledge accessible. learning about something youre really interested about is also a great feeling

[@cb9d90]

well said,! Peterson is amazing. he is one of the best / if not the best at this. he is unbelievable at wording it the right way, u can't stop listening/ never mind watching....❤❤❤❤

[@Yajoy-kh3kc]

I'm begging you to just read textbooks instead of consooming crackpots.

[@maryj7423]

His speaking is getting better and better. I wonder how the way I view the world has shifted my perception of things around me.

[@JasmineDaisy111]

He speaks so eloquently what we instinctively know but can’t comprehend.❤

[@TheTrock121]

I'm 62 and I've noticed that an integral part of aging is making ever more critical decisions based on ever decreasing information as one's senses decline. It is critical to have a coherent world view to navigate this challenge.

[@MrSmashWilliams]

Damn son.

[@pizzasmithdude]

This is a conversation i had with myself the first time i tried psychedelics. In a sense everything is comnected to a single thing, we just parse them out individually to function from moment to moment easier. But the chair analogy is a perfect example of that epiphany. Everything you see and everything you do is all tied together in the act of staying alive. Even art. You cant live on it. But take art away from a society and see what happens to them psychologically and then physically.

[@BrotherTree1]

This is incredible. One of his best explanations of visual perception.

[@Wanderlyeu]

never stop Dr. Peterson. Your work is of incredible importance.

[@SeyhawksNow]

Bless this man. A lot of powerful people don't want him to speak because they don't like what they're hearing

[@caseyhenshaw]

he is a channel. when he closes his eyes he’s channeling wisdom/guidance from a higher source, cross referencing it with his established internal knowledge and processing in real time how to articulate it with clarity and intention.

[@shawnhowe7311]

Thank You Doc

"And so one of the reasons that you see a chair is so that you don't die."

[@UniversalSovereignCitizen]

Boss, the train, the train! the tra💥...👻

[@killharryclinton9312]

Especially true when your job is chair-maker.

[@cryptic2304]

Lol. If you follow his train of thought, that statement makes sense, but taken out of context, it sounds wild. Pretty funny though.

[@MichaelFerraro-bt4ig]

I’ve never heard anyone say that a chair is for sitting on more eloquently than this. Life changing, after discovering that not sitting is fatal, I’ve decided to carry a chair with me everywhere I go.

[@MichaelFerraro-bt4ig]

I can’t help but feel (maybe hope) there was something of substance in this presentation before or after this clip. Otherwise, did those people pay to hear this?

[@Seriouslysillyone]

​@@MichaelFerraro-bt4ig I hear you, context is so important, but that's what the clips are for, enticing

[@electricdam5162]

You are getting into more detail than usual, thanks for that

[@Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez]

There is beautiful meaning in the laughs giving the fact the topic. Pretty glimpses of the beauty of the nature of being human

[@tytygreenrich9407]

Thank you so much Dr Peterson

[@lalumalu7511]

Happy to hear ur Voice

[@elisteele574]

Incredible as always.

[@georgejerry1545]

Peterson creates an accidental punchline: *everyone laughs* Also Peterson: And I mean it, technically !! 😂

[@MrSmashWilliams]

I don't think it was accidental actually

[@crashtestdummy2337]

Thanks!

[@claudiamanta1943]

12th of June. Happy birthday, Jordan. Be good.

[@suggesttwo]

All vision is natural. Far sighted people can see farther away spotting danger and resources. This is very advantageous for good planning. Favours extroversion. Near sighted people are better at complex tasks, creating, building and repairing things. Favours introversion.

[@fjallaxd7355]

Excellent video.

[@kunipeg8706]

This is the central idea of his first book "Maps of Meaning" and the university course he taught for decades. Understand this, and one will understand a new way at looking at the world.

[@EwokEight]

There was a time where I was is in a rehab, and in my first day all I wanted was a comfortable chair, I never got it. I got a hospitable bed, and when I hit it, I fell asleep... instantly.

[@Cire3PC]

For those that hate, it’s hilarious that you still click on it. And it’s ok if you don’t like it, it’s more of a smart people conversation Anyway. Thanks ! I’m thankful you’re far too large to be canceled by the few. Unlike most, I seriously try to improve daily. It’s slow, but progress.

[@RhaniYago]

This where he is at his best. Psychology. I will never look at a chair the same way I did before.

[@iRA_mkb]

A chair is in direct proportion to your life expectancy.

[@Al-G-77]

A chair is a specific type of seat. A chair has 4 legs and a back. Bean bags and stumps are not chairs, although all 3 are, or can be seats. Anything one can appropriately sit on is a seat. A seat is the most general classification of a thing one could sit on, hence the word seat being from the same source as sit. I could write this out more coherently.. I simply had an impulse to be pedantic, although I believe what I've said is worth saying nevertheless.

[@jippalippa]

Fun fact. psychedelics make your perioheral vision much more high res. It's like tjey give your brain a boost in capability for the duration of the effect. Very interesting

[@MrSmashWilliams]

That is very interesting.

[@kimberlybegonia2869]

Problem of what to ignore!! 😊

[@suggesttwo]

Perferal vision is activated by movement. Self preservation. In the forest the tree won't eat you but lions and tigers and bears and snakes might. A fox, wolf or bird of prey might try to take an infant or children.

[@bettyhaines2570]

I agree 😊❤🎉

[@dstern86]

"And so one of the reasons that you see a chair is so that you don't die". What a punchline 😅

[@electricdam5162]

I watched a lot of your content Jordan 4:35

[@mattsinclair6954]

I have a new appreciatation for my chairs

[@Cinderella227]

Right now I’m in the pool listening to my favorite music looking up at the night sky and the beautiful stars. Need to turn you off so I can get back to my music. Ciao Jordan ✝️❤️

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” - Buddha. Buddha also said that thought is the cause of ALL suffering. So then also thought can also be the cause of "well being", aliveness, happiness, joy etc. Implying "THE DUALITY" nature of "thought". Then there is the naming or labeling of all the related concepts, such as "mind", "consciousness", "awareness", "self awareness", "understanding", "knowing", "ideas" and on and on. But if we say that "thought" is responsible for it all, then that FROM WHICH THOUGHT ARISES, must be THE ULTIMATE REALITY. The Bible indicates that Humankind is created in the image of God, and God described himself to Moses as I AM, THAT I AM. Implying that Humankind is also of that I AM, THAT I AM nature. That within which "thought" arises, that within which "Self Awareness" arises. (which has no Duality.) There is "the authentic human" created by God and in the image of God (the Garden of Eden story) and there is "the inauthentic human" that is self created or the Ego. The Garden story is not about a place or an apple, it is about a "State of Being", an inauthentic "State of Being" caused by the "lies and deception" in the archetypal Garden. The image of the snake is some kind of hold over from the Hindu teachings of "the snake eating its own tail" concept, which is the "THOUGHTS FEEDING OFF THEMSELVES" like todays University "echo chambers". It can be either corrupt thoughts feeding off themselves, or pure and correct thoughts feeding off themselves. But one leads to death and destruction, and the other to life, well being, happiness, joy etc. The Bible indicates that "God is Love", the "Authentic Being", and Human Kind is also supposed to be in that "Authentic Being" image and "State of Being". Which brings us back to Buddha, "thought is the cause of all suffering", because we can use it to create an "Inauthentic Being", an Ego. The free will to experience what we wish.

[@Conza]

So you've read Hoppe's - Economic Science and the Austrian method, and know what praxeology (logic & science of human action) is, right? RIGHT?

[@JOmz8801]

Jordan peterson is so insightful that I just realized he may be an alien that has the "Instruction Manual" so to speak, on how to be a human. He may have been sent here to help our species get our crap together. Why a higher lifeform would be invested in our survival is still beyond my comprehension though.

[@caseyhenshaw]

he is a channel

[@Habitual_TK]

Confirmed. Jordan Peterson is Itachi and we’re all his Sasukes.

[@joshslaughter6400]

There is absolutely no way to "view the world properly" without knowing the past. No one today truly knows the past. Which leads a proper view to be impossible. Everything is manipulated.

[@electricdam5162]

Im going to buy a big speakee too 8:30

[@wasmasalah2365]

at times I wish he never stops talking 🤍

[@ZeldaZorch205]

This is a master class in avoiding definitions, Dr. Peterson's specialty. If your "definition" of a chair includes a stump because you can sit on it, it is now open season on concepts. We have the word "stump" because it has an identity to do with it's origin as a tree. Dr. Peterson also conflates conviction with "faith" and tosses around the word "sacrifice" with abandon, ignoring the fact that it entails giving up higher values in favour of lower values. Not convenient when you are headed directly to the elevation of the mystical over the rational, and make science faith's handmaiden. All of this clears the way for the subjective as a value and the dismissal of reason. See Introduction To Objectivist Epistemology by Ayn Rand. Destroy perception and you destroy reason, demonstrated clearly by Plato and his "world of forms".

[@electricdam5162]

Nice ending. Yeah it's important to rest. Its like you're telling us rhings we already know, jordan.

[@EbbandFlow1234]

There's not only the 5 senses. What about intuition? Senses? Why do you have a look because they are looking? If it was something they'd say. The present moment, is where. Look at the themes. Walking, talking, theme's. When a person deep in thought, they stare into space. You don't see the room only the images and sensing, seeing the themes, without anything. We all have a symbolic mind. I spoke to someone the other day who told me they can't visualise. I asked him to describe a red shoe. Not only the 5 senses play a part.

Thanks for honoring my freedom of speech. What a ridiculous statement. "Learning to accurately view the world?" We can only EVER see through tunnel vision ... never mind see how the world works according to OTHERS. Example: Pearl Buck’s parents were Christian missionaries in China, and I suggest that Pearl had that subject figured out, when she wrote the following words in her book My Several Worlds … published in 1954. “I was old enough now to read history for myself and I perceived that Chinese history and English ones gave entirely different versions not only of the same events, but of each other, and that each despised the other as a lesser breed, although neither knew what the other was. I became mentally bifocal and so I learned early to understand that there is no such condition in human affairs as absolute truth. There is only truth as people see it, and truth, even in fact may be kaleidoscopic in its variety. I could never belong entirely to one side of any question.”

[@kennedykihara3800]

Father, can you consider using the same technique of thought to deliniaye how the schizophrenic looses touch with reality.

[@goofydog2]

Is a chair still a chair if no one is sitting there...

[@rudyponzio5871]

Your a sweet man and I appreciate you. And acknowledge your family for their places in your life's work.It's no small thing at all. And actually the biggest thing from a view. Folks don't actually see beyond cynical deductions as propensity. But once you realize life escapes no one. You get to see peoples true intentions can't be cloaked by commerce or accolades galore. Are we not like primal knee jerk reactionary humans still .. in the face of our advancements ? I wouldn't bet against it. As long as we have every luxury and all these comforts and toys and vacation themes of fantasy. We'll get further and further away from our magnificence. We think life is a comfort drive thru where you don't even have to get out of your chair. And you can plug into the box on the wall . And watch the other humans staged in wrappings of elegance then desire only that. Ha. what most of it actually amounts to is a bunch of vacu-formed polymers galore. That manufacturing plants across oceans hold humans employed while spewing pollutants that dwarf carbon pollutants. To make these gadgets galore. Then others advertise these wares with glory and spin that would tempt the devil 🙏🏻Why is a devil never satisfied? Because it can only gather the humans it doesn't want. Trying to taste what it hasn't after. It's always about the after taste.. Isn't it 🫐 Blueberries are both sweet and savory. They are tempting both in daylight and in darkness. Maybe that's why we call them blue. r.p.

[@BlesswinJefferson]

Oh yeah and funny enough.. I try and look at what's relevant but my world seems to revolve around what i ignore xD I wonder why👀. I mean I known why, its because they think they can use what we ignore But ignoring doesn't mean we don't notice them yelling in bf madharchod and all. Just cuz we don't bother doesn't mean we don't know it's happening. Not giving two fuks doesn't mean we donno what happened. Some people misunderstand this and try to take advantage only to realise they made mistakes 💀

[@johnsmith-do7fv]

You don't know the underworld then you don't know the world.

[@Roseberrylove]

[@BlesswinJefferson]

Its easy, but yea, that makes sense.. Viewing the world and acting accordingly is just two different stories. You will realise that we are helpless and can't do shit. But we gotta try no?

[@TheGreatRedBeard]

I wonder how many people perceived a super nova back in ancient times as god. Or how about what if someone was named Jesus and he also had a brother that just happened to get to rome after his brother's execution. I wonder how many people were looking up at the night sky's, Super nova's can get pretty bright.

[@thatomofolo452]

[@Razear]

"That isn't really what I see...unless I'm on psychedelics, and I actually mean that technically." Not sure whether that was meant to be purely descriptive, elicit humor, or both. Jordan is an accidental stand-up comic. Lol

[@Sedum54]

The thumbnail for this video has a ball earth in the background. Looking accurately at the reality of our world we see far too fa,r, calmness and level water, never the curve of a spinning ball,.

[@3rubberboats]

When one has the visual perception that has been given to that person through Our Lord Jesus Christ, their perception of life is far greater than what Satan can do. You may want to revise what you are saying about this. Just a thought to ponder.

[@zainsyed9811]

Lol we can see how 'accurately' you view the world and what's going on!

Seems like you can get away with saying almost anything if you finish it with, "I mean that technically."

[@waterkingdavid]

Has he ever done psychedelics? He talks ao often about them yet my sense is he never has. The reason being is his deeply neurotic disposition, deeply conservative (paranoid) worldview and lack of emotional maturity and compassion. He should sit down for a while. Put his books away. Put his pen away. Stop thinking. And actually look for a while at what really is right here right now. And so should we all. That's the beginning of being truly humble. That's the beginning of knowing genuine love

Jordan cannot perceive the world as it is because his emotions are "nested inside" of his father's feelings. (Rule 5) Jordan perceives others as mere surfaces without depth because as a dependent developmentally deprived boy he conflated his internal experience with his father's negative feelings.

This is exactly the kind of abuse of language Peterson is good at.... You cannot in English say an accurate perception of "the world" by definition you see very little of what's in front let alone a world, contradiction in terms. Peterson has lost iq points I feel.
