I also love the lecture style becuase it's more about the book, and what he's saying. no power point to cram everything into. Peterson has inspired me after graduating a psyche BA to read classics that were never mentioned to me. I'm considering going back to school becuase of this course, and it has put a lot of meaning back into my life.

[@sifka1607]

There's a deep undertone of sadness watching this. Forget Professor Peteron as you see him today. Look at that person in the video. Look at that young man with so much passion for teaching, for his craft. And I can certainly not speak for anyone but myself, but only three minutes and fourteen seconds in, I can feel the energy. Someone who cares about presenting his lesson with passion. The undertone of sadness here is that I think the Professor in this video will never be back the same way. And maybe that's not all bad, but media and his rise to fame certainly has taken a toll. But the silver, or should I say golden lining here, is that his sacrifice had a deep impact and meaning. I'm speaking about Prof. Peterson in third person in his own channel because I don't expect him to read this comment. But if you do Professor Peterson, thank you for standing up, not just for freedom of speech, but for reflecting and accurately conveying a message I've tried to convey to everyone in my life. I might not be one of the people you've helped with your message about responsibility and such (although the case can definitely be made that I needed it as a younger man), but you've helped me become more accurate in the way I do it. I wish you and your family all the best 💙

[@cutwir3317]

It’s crazy how so many lessons are lost in time from great teachers. Moments that are meaningful because technology wasn’t their to record these kinds of experiences.

[@schottenrock]

Why would they be lost? Weren't those lectures attented to by humans? Recorded, by conciousness? Which then took those meaningful moments and incorported them into their lives and passed them on to others. To their children. Why would a moment be more valuable if it is captured and stored as dead material (video aka technology), instead of being integrated into a human life. Yes I get that technology allows us to easily multiply information captured. I work in tech too, yet this sentiment increasingly irritates me. It feels like our single-minded focus on technology really devalues human life. Yes this enables you to go directly 'to the source'. But is it really?

[@danielrobert4219]

@@schottenrock I mean the written word is an information technology... you've committed to sharing your thoughts here via writing, so you must believe that doing so was better than merely speaking it out loud to whomever can hear you in person. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century most definitely facilitated the protestant reformation and a whole rebirth of western society through the mere exchange of information. The dark ages were called dark for a reason, because writing was strictly limited to members of the clergy. I think it's definitely not out of touch to say that to most of us modern day non-clergy, this lecture and other resources like it would be 'lost'. Like the printing press it's a new quantam leap. When you say "is it really directly to the source?", you could ask, is a film directly to the source, is a shakespeare play directly to the source... the logic breaks down very fast....

It is so beautiful that Jordan's believe in himself is helping us enjoy this content even more than two decades later. When he was happy even the 13-14 students showing up, who knew that millions of people would have watch this and counting. It's just Peterson's believe to articulate his thoughts and present them by eliminating a huge amount of your presuppositions. It's like that experiment that people don't cheat, when students are allowed to copy because they had an eye drawn somewhere in the room. That's what this is. A testament to be at his best everytime he's teaching! That's the difference between art and propaganda. That's why the longer formats are getting more and more popular, even when the attention spans are depleting on a daily level and everyone is turned into a dopamine junkie. Thank you Doctor Peterson for being my most accurate source of news and thank you for being the only public figure who wouldn't mislead me. I have almost watched all your content and studied your books and tried so hard to find gaps somewhere in your thinking, but I haven't been able to do that even reading everything and watching everything with a skeptical attitude. In fact, you're one of the first people I heard speaking about how things have got better in all fronts, but values and traditions. I tried to look for holes in your knowledge and couldn't do that, and I'm glad I couldn't. Revisiting this, you approximately 34 years old - you are basically still sticking by your word even 25 years later and you were basically saying the same thing you did then that you're saying now. It's just incredible what the ultimate human potential is like with truth and hardwork, coupled with genuine curiosity and intention for the improvement of the individual. That's the central message of your work for me. Can't thank Dr Peterson enough!

+Jordan B Peterson -- It is interesting how one can enjoy the freshness of the talks by Dr. Jordan Peterson's in his earlier formative years of his thinking theories. Of course I have no idea what years the Harvard lectures happened or what age Dr. Peterson might have been. But in listening to his Harvard lectures, it is like one is thinking with him as he talks; unlike the Canadian lectures posted in 2014-2016 when it seems that the doctor has become his absolute voice of authority about his own assumptions. I find myself pondering this impression about Dr. Peterson since I have only been introduced to his lectures in 2016. I never knew him before 2016. But nonetheless I like his thinking because it challenges my thinking about stuff beyond what I have thought before.

Now it's 2020 and I can understand with these videos why the conflict with university and mass-media hate destroys you. The unknown that broke loose after bunch of - experimental? - videos was indeed overwhelimg. Here dr Peterson looked like fish in the water during these lectures. Lectures for broad audience, like 3-4years ago - you can see the emotional strain on him. Interviews with media - cortisol levels are damn too high. Such repetitive and vicious stress, combined with family problems - no wonder for further problems with anxiety. Damn it must be hard. Btw I like those old lectures the most. They are not simple, but with my neurophysiological, medical and psychiatric background, are much clearer and transparent to the point than simplified, "narratived" versions. Good health for you dr Peterson and hope to see you again.

[@WD-zk6fg]

Imagine what his former students are likely doing these days. I would hope and believe the seeds of wisdom planted during lectures like this had a Randy Pausch effect on these folks. They probably had moments of levity and inside jokes with him like any other professor, maybe even some low points like disagreeing on tough points, discussing papers and grades as he mentioned in some recent speeches interviews. At the end of the day even those low points were likely handled in a better manner than the average college professor. The man is a modern marvel, I am glad he stepped out of the class room to share some of this with the rest of us. Now go clean your room.

I wish our university classrooms looked like this or like auditoriums, instead of a bunch of lines of hard chairs.

man... watching these lectures made me realize how destructive social media and technology really is. i may be imagining things, but people feel in tune with their thoughts and the reality around them. no culture war bs or petty politics... one cannot get a vibe like this anywhere today...

youre looking at rich kids able to afford an unaffordable education and nobody in the western world thats part of the middle class or upper middle class would be able to listen to this, but this age of time made it possible for me as a poor human being to gain these insights, man i could cry thinking this through i mean youd need two human beings that made it verry succesfully in life coming together making a child that which was verry succesfully raised to end up in this situation to even gain the knowledge and yet my serbian ass coming from a family that cant afford food or rent barely making it through with 5 euros a day by digging holes and selling crops is here gaining this knowledge, i cant even be thanful enough for this

Word is born!

[@The_Man8719TwitchTV]

I wish I had been born in the circumstances that would have laid a better foundation for me to have had the ability to have been in this style education with this kind of educator. I know its not too late to aim for something higher than what I have been given the responsibility over now, and also, being able to be a “fly on the wall” of this particular educator’s classroom is so enriching and feels like I have been given such a privilege! Thank you for uploading these 😊

[@bryantrew6366]

He’s giving it to you now. You DO have that privilege :)

[@suprastevio2264]

If he only knew how many lives and hearts he is going to save. He had no idea how pivotal a role he would play in so many lives. Thank you Jordan, for everything.

God I love the black board and the late 80s projector.. you can almost smell the number 2 pencils and the smell of lunch (just after consuming) in the classroom.

i wonder if the students in this class now look at this vid on KZbin and think "people are getting this class free and im still paying off gigantic student loan""

You don't get a degree by watching this video ;)

[@rockhard2654]

@@masoudpoul3976 very true, when you buy an education you're not buying just the knowledge you're buying the CERTIFICATION you possess the knowledge or skills

I would do extremely questionable things to be able to go back in time and take this class with legend Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

God, please bless this man for all he’s done.

[@deekobald9260]

dr Peterson is so young here! love his animated style of speaking!

[@steven.777.miller]

The labtop. The projector. This has to be mid-late 90's. Its crazy to see Jordan Peterson when he was young.
