It almost seems like Jordan was going to just cry a few times here, just goes to show how much he truly cares.

[@Ingentiy]

That got me crying...what a powerful moment

[@riseoftheproles8505]

I love his passion! If only, more people were this passionate about what they believe

[@neilb3332]

Cocaine

[@KabooM1067]

Richard Richard Why is that indicative of mental instability?

[@everythingsfine3064]

He would be more mentally unstable if his emotions weren't effected by all this.

[@BitesizedPhilosophy]

You probably have already seen this, but it was more of a personal decision to have this clip on the channel. Sometimes the topic of me running a KZbin channel comes up in conversations and sometimes (but rarely) I get accused of supporting and promoting a bigot, which really frustrates me, considering I am a brown, ex-muslim guy born and living in Germany. I just want to have this clip here as a good reference video to link to people who think that Dr. Peterson is a terrible person and that his fan base is somehow toxic. Most of us here are just people trying to fix small things in our own lives and are attracted to his rational case for not becoming nihilistic and aimless.

[@WickedGaming005]

Don't let those people get to you, one day they'll realize that they're wrong; they'll clean their damn rooms before they criticize the world! But seriously thanks for these uploads, you're one of 10 or so KZbin channels that I actually watch consistently. Keep it up, you're doing God (or Peterson's) work!

[@IgnacioAguilarToledo]

Bite-sized Philosophy Ohh really. I think the same happens to me... I tend to like talking about politics too much.

[@anonnona6940]

Bite-sized Philosophy Have pity on those who say he's bigot and all that stuff. Their lives are nihilistic and naïve beyond comprehension. Have pity.

[@BitesizedPhilosophy]

I think it is because people are overwhelmed and confused about the controversity around him and think that just calling him a racist/sexist/transphobe is taking the save route. What disappoints me is that calling someone a racist had a serious meaning several years ago. While I grew up in a very tolerant country and was given fair opportunity despite coming from a poor immigrant family, I think having at least the option to call out racism was still important. That's a power that the left took to further their own political agenda. Now everyone is desensitized hearing that word and the few real racists are very happy about that.

[@anonnona6940]

Bite-sized Philosophy It's just naïve behaviour bruh. "Racist" and "Fascist" has become a word like asshole or annoying. It has lost it's weight. Left is run by people who wanna rob others under a curtain of self claimed morality. If we allow it to pursue, we'll end up like Sweden.

[@flyintheskyinc.8705]

Sadly it's true, people don't like it when good things happen to other people. When I tell people I overcame depression after being extremely depressed for over 20 years, survived an ovarian tumor and was bullied for a long time (still bothers me today in my social life that I was bullied) they just nod and start a different subject. It's so fucking upsetting, because you hope someone can be happy for you but they just don't care. Not even my own family members, I worked so hard and nobody cares. I love Jordan Peterson for caring, what a great example for mankind.

[@anonnona6940]

Teuben Archief I'm happy for you fam. You did great so far. Keep persevering for good.

[@dragons_red]

Congrats. To add to your point, I find people are at LEAST apathetic, and much worse jealous and/or resentful towards those overcoming obstacles in their life (especially if they can't or won't). Part of the reason I think JP is gaining traction is due to his message in a world where increasing we are not expected/taught to handle challenges, rather ignore or avoid them and it is killing us. We are cultivating a world of Cains with few Abels.

[@lagoon4631]

Teuben Archief your a fighter my dude. Resilience is a beautiful and rare thing and you have it. Keep going man🤘

[@nesano4735]

Just goes to show you how selfish and temporary people are.

[@markotuna]

Teuben Archief oh my god... Youre my fucking hero!! >currently going to a psychiatrist for depression and "inability to persist" as she said it >have only 1 friend and was bullied throughout my entire school life, circa 11 years... And dude, thank you for writing this comment, because if others can do it, why cant I? Good luck man, I wish you all the best! 😄

[@AndreAlessiCastro]

I got emotional at the end of the video, because it's so true, it's unbelievable.. after knowing Jordan Peterson, having those exact same reactions he described, doing the future authoring program and striving for the highest good, not only my depression and suicidal thoughts have gone away (or at least are under control now for good), but I've also started encouraging my friends and family to do the same, because I want them to be the best version of themselves they can be, and it's just stunning how much that good chain reaction just spreads around and echoes back to you with multiplied force, and give meaning to life. I can't help but want to have the torch with the brightest fire, to lighten up those who may have their torches extinguishing or completely wiped out.

[@mav8535]

For me it's the same. I'm always trying to help my friends and find solutions to their Problems and see it actually working for them. (Which is unbelievable) But at the same time i am struggling with my problems and no matter what i do, i can't seem to help myself. I think i made a good decision last year to drop out of jobschool and finally live up to my potential and make my A Levels, but now I'm struggling in my correspondence school and doubting that i can do it and i don't know how to end this downward spiral.

[@jennifers508]

Love that story!

[@di3486]

Dr Peterson did more for my life than anybody have ever done. Straight A student leading to success encounters severe depression and ends up lost in a dark pit, hopeless and suicidal. He gave me the strength to get out of there and find myself again. Also he made me discover the power of philosophy. I am more than fascinated with all of it.

[@Razear]

It's insane to think how far-reaching his influence has been over the last couple of years. The gender-neutral pronoun controversy was probably the best thing that could've ever happened to him.

[@nofacee94]

looked like an inevitable consequence flowing from that madness, letting this flower blossom

[@MrKenilles]

We love you dr Peterson =)

[@JD..........]

So grateful for this man.

[@Chris_Wald]

Wow, just wow, this guy is a true genius, I have so much respect for him. Like I said in my 15 second’s; once again: “thank you, you have helped me very much”

[@narrowkeel]

Wow, hadn't caught this clip. Thank you for that.

[@rbmk__1000]

I'm going to see him in June, I can hardly wait, history will remember this man, either as the catalyst for major social and political change or as the one that raged against the dying of the light.

[@logicbombs5490]

Thank you Jordan for all you have done to help myself, as well as others. I genuinely am a different person because of you. No one cares like you do.

[@thepeoplestempleband]

Best JP interview in ages

[@IgnacioAguilarToledo]

Richard Trueman Are you saying Peterson is too old? That's offensive.

[@thepeoplestempleband]

HA! Im just pleased to see an interviewer who doesn't see a man encouraging people to be their best selves as a threat.

[@Hectordelataco]

So handsome

[@logy650]

This is one of the most emotionally charged and powerful clips I've seen in a long time. Made me want to cry

[@patrickmontenegro8267]

I wish you were my dad

[@pn5721]

He is. He is.

[@kairovattika]

Thank you for providing the original source for this video. An appreciated courtesy!

[@Arbitros1]

Part of why he resonates with me so much is that his lectures, his speeches and advice for living your life to the fullest are never as DOCTOR Peterson telling you some foolproof way to make your life better. All he's doing is reminding you of the things that you've noticed, but forgot. "Why am I so fat and lazy?" Well maybe since you hate working out you should notice that and DO IT because you hate it. He's just helping people see the forest through the trees. He's not here to be your once a week psychologist, he's here to tell you how to make yourself better on your own. (Medical treatments and disorders aside)

[@BitesizedPhilosophy]

Exactly. What I also like personally is that he is a wicked devil's advocate for nihilism. He is not just dismissing the temptations of not taking up responsibility as only something for weak people. He acknowledges it as a powerful force that he probably has struggled with more than most people.

[@Arbitros1]

At first I actually thought he was a bit of a nihilist due to his lack of facial emotion when he's speaking, but all of his talks are about how to bring purpose into your life. Not to get bogged down by our actual pointlessness, but instead to give your life a point. And I love that.

[@Powergirl838]

I love you Jordan. Hope to meet you some day 😊💛🇨🇦

[@josephjohnson8212]

I'm agnostic, but... God bless this man

[@clarisse.padilla]

"I dont usually think about these things" I enjoyed seeing him talk about himself even when he is probably not used to it hahah. The ideologies he shares are always general and he usually avoids being subjective. This clip is so great because you actually witness his principles as a person and why he does what he does.

[@enocveloz]

Thank you for all!

[@FilterHQ]

Fantastic indeed :))))

[@badgerrrlattin35]

I remember trembling when I started reading Nietzsche. Then encountering the strange response from those around me. "That's so dry; so much work. Why do you read this". WTF?! There's very real power in this stuff. The awarenss this brings changes you forever. Peterson is speaking to this as well. So good to see him on KZbin.

[@mr.goodday3586]

Dam.... your soul already knows.... you just don't know how to say it...... omg that got me

[@anonnona6940]

This is so incredible and amazing I can't thank Mr. Peterson enough for everything he does for us. It's just, overwhelmingly optimism inducing. I pray he becomes the Prime Minister.

[@typhoonofideas]

He is so cool to watch.

[@arunprackashr]

one day, I want to shake his hand and say "Thank you!"

[@someguy8740]

You and me both

[@muckn-pls]

What an extraordinary man

[@orenrob1914]

I love this man

[@60sSam]

This, what Dr. Peterson is describing near the end of the clip, is really the same idea that started the Random Acts of Kindness. Do a something nice for someone and you'll make the world just a little bit better. And sometimes you need to do something nice for yourself too.

[@bradjones5132]

JP suits the tanned look. I hope I can look this good when I reach his age.

[@pn5721]

I looked it up. John Anderson is 5-1/2 years older than JBP. So they're pretty comparable age-wise.

[@gabosie7e777]

When the world look back at JB Peterson 20 years from now; it will ask How in the hell did we let the left bashed him to the ground?

[@katiejon17]

But where do we send letters to him?

[@SergiyJust]

👍💓

[@LucasYounts]

There is a dislike... someone hit the wrong button.

[@project0point994]

Fuck man, his crying got me crying. He truly cares and sees the sheer potential and worth everyone has within themselves.

[@BF3FAN565]

Wait so you cant articulate archetypal stories as an individual but you can notice them everywhere? If you cant say what they are how can you notice them?

[@BF3FAN565]

Karm Asutor so is it biological?

[@BF3FAN565]

Karm Asutor that makes sense. But it just seems like an excuse to be vague and not explain things.

[@FreeJulianAssange23]

Jordan Peterson is the second coming

[@plaguedoct0r]

"Christianity ended slavery" However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT) There was also a massive push from the christians to keep slavery. They held up their bibles in court and said that it was their god given right to own slaves and that the government couldn't take that away.

[@lovelove-lu8wo]

I have 100 Crosses of Christ surrounding Jordan Peterson.

[@canis760]

This is just secular mysticism. No wonder it's a cult-like reaction to him.

[@kennethburmeister8119]

The path to take on responsibility is cult like? wow...

[@andyp257]

*man cries at the thought of legitimately helping his fans* You: what a cultist lol fuck that guy Why are you so bothered by the happiness of others?

[@SiochainGra]

There’s always one.

[@dmrc43]

People are often scared of change, ever at the ready to label and box new ideas away. It's natural but it's also not, change is the only constant.
