I had the pleasure if seeing him In San Jose, California. My brother and I drove 7 hrs round trip. It was 1000% worth it! One of the things that struck me the most was how Haggard and frail he looked in real life. He looked like he was just about ready to wither away. The thought occurred that he looked like he was on his death bed. However, it was amazing to see him roar to life once his lecture started picking up pace! He went from a humble lamb to a roaring lion. You could literally feel the energy! It was an experience I will never forget, and hope to repeat!

I love how this past 50 years old man always busts out a tear or two when he's talking about the potential everyone has in themselves and that it's our duty to use this potential. He really shares in the suffering and is very concerned about the development that our society has made in the last decades.

Jordan Peterson is such a wonderful person that he renews my faith in humanity. It is incomprehensible that there are people out there that have tried to vilify him. He has improved the lives of literally millions of people and even though I've never met the guy, I have a lot of affection for him and care about his welfare. So glad that the medical issues have been resolved. He's not done making the world a better place.

[@gyromurphy]

They vilify him because he rips them out of their meaningless comfort zones. He calls those out that fight for the degradation of society. "But but i don't want to work on my self...it's too haaaard" Those people that choose to drag everyone down with them instead of make their own lives better. He's a voice of reason....and that's detrimental to their cause. His "pseudo moralistic stance" quote is the one that bites the hardest. It is impossible to hear that and deny it's truth

[@AdrienMitchell69]

“The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.” ― Jordan B. Peterson

Wtf is a burden

[@fvang4751]

Being a good for your family community and yourself..not being a drain on your family and community..

[@WoodenHorst]

It is a good quote, but it might get misunderstood. Bearing a burden is not the same as renouncing pleasure. Instead the burden that one bears can give meaning to the pleasure we seek, as having pleasure in some regards allows us to bear a larger burden. A teacher who enjoys reaching will be able to go a farther way to teach his students. It is rather pleasure to avoid seeking a burden in life that should be avoided.

[@pollyscookies9180]

@@WoodenHorst I like what you said ,as well as how you said it . " ..the burden that one bears can give meaning to the pleasure we seek." So true! Also, "...as having pleasure...allows us to bear a larger burden." A healthy balance of both "bearing a burden" (giving) and "having pleasure" (receiving) seems to be the mix that most satisfies the human soul.

[@pollyscookies9180]

@@draco8152 A "burden" would be the taking on of a positive role or task within your world. A responsibility. Like that of being a good parent or a teacher, or an engineer, nurse or community leader--pretty much any position you might hold from which you give of yourself, for the benefit of others.

@Suntower9 I am one person removed from that. I was paid and I worked. But the machines I ran back in the day were in both worlds and they were worked on by mechanics that traveled the world doing maintenance. They (East Block/Soviet and British workers) ran 150 feet per minutes in "the worlds of you pretend to pay us and we pretend to work" and I started when 'our' machines ran 410 feet per minute and in the end I was running 650 feet per minute. I ran competitors out of business. And yes I was responsible for the speed. The more speed and product I generated the more was expected. Solzhenitsyn has a short story on this topic ;-) But then the business and processes changed (and I had left it all behind prior) and those men of those related occupations were scattered to the wind in both worlds.

However, this logic, this simple view of the world must be put into heads of feminists which will never even listen. There’s no way JP will succeed in putting some logic into the brains of feminists and other culture Marxists. You can’t fight cancer by talking nicely to it. Feminism is a cancer. Amputation might help, but there is no surgeon to remove it. The only possible surgeons are women, fighting this cancer. But this is impossible- females never fight other females if this gives them no benefits. Only men do fighting in this civilization, but men can’t fight this (mostly) female cancer.

The really useful thing about a Peterson lecture is not just the content of them. He shows his audience his thought processes. How he gets from one position to another based on facts, deduction, logic, and his own personal experience. One might not always agree with all of his conclusions, but he demonstrates to his audience how to think both critically and for oneself as free as possible from political, scientific and religious dogma. While doing so he gives the impression that his lectures are somehow spontaneous, when in fact they are very carefully thought out in every detail, indeed perfected scripted within his head.
