[@91UnclesRemuses]

I think you ought to know that Pepe is a redemption history himself. In the imageboard culture like 4chan's, a meme does not die from simple over-exploitation (baneposting is an example of this), the meme only dies when it is exploited by the wrong people, in this case, the those people being the real outside world, the regular guys or "normies", "chads" and "thots". There was a time when it looked like Pepe had fallen into the dead meme category, it had become exposed to the nomies, and thus it was no longer cool, it had died as a meme, people posting pepe would be subject to infinite replies of "dumb frogposter". The same thing happened to the reaction "troll" faces, they were big around 2007, but they leaked into facebook and 9gag and now they can only be used ironically within the imageboards (and not even then). However, for some reason Pepe brought himself out of the pond, I don't know why this happened, but I can pinpoint the time when Donald Trump tweeted an image of himself as pepe as the definite point in which the tide had turned. It is not often that a meme saves himself from death at hands of the normies, but pepe did it, somehow. And at the same time, he may have become the prince. Forever immune to death again, like Disney's Hercules at the end of the movie.

[@georgemargaris]

Keep up the questioning and do not be bashful when expressing yourself. You've proven to have a strong synchronisty to "Happenings". Most don't realize that 4chan is a battle between Cabals, Nationalistic Orders and Chaos Magicians. For us "OldFags" as they call us, the ones whom have been here since the days of Anonymous, most have shifted to Chaos Magic and Kabbalistic beliefs. Kek is a deity of Chaos, what brought down King Solomon himself. We have spurred real events from pushing this "Cult of Kek". People believe in this, extremely order driven people are driving towards a chaos that they trust. A void in which may be necessary, given the track of current human consciousness. What a day and age to live in! For every new day it brings exponentially more happenings. Let Kek break the mundane. Peace Be Upon You Brother.

The frog comes out of the water. What is in the water? Not only death and unknown, but also things that are forgotten. The history is in the water. And all humans are coming out of the history, a history that they don't know. So, at a certain point, all humans was pepe, the frog. The middle thing between the known and unknown. And when the left fights the history, the culture, they fight what they have to go back to. Death. Because it takes just a blink of an eye until they are history again. And they want to end history, befor it ends them. Not that they think they dont have to die then. But when they die, they are not going back to what actual killed them. It is a little bit complicated to understand. But basically they dont want to become their own fathers, because fathers die. Or better, get killed by their sons, in some sense. You can see that all the time, that old lefties behave like they are children and expect the young people to take the actual resbonsebility.

[@shapsi]

Some of Jung’s quotes on the symbolism of the frog: “In alchemistic pictures one sees the dragon that is afterwards transformed into a frog. It comes out of the mouth of the dragon” “the toad (or frog) drinks the milk of the virgin, also the toad is a medieval symbol of the womb” “The idea of the frog in the fairy tale of the frog and the princess… the frog means the healing substance or the healing symbol” “If you think of the transformation of the frog into the Prince Charming, and of the frog fed by the milk of the Virgin, or the Virgin bring forth a frog, you realize that it is simply another analogy; it is an animal symbol of the child” “It is the thing that Nietzsche couldn’t accept… The “ugliest man”. He refused to accept the other side of the superior man because it was too repulsive, and it became associated with his phobia: he suffered with the idea that he had to swallow a frog or a toad; whenever he saw one he had a compulsory inclination to swallow it. This appeared in a dream that a toad was sitting upon his hand, it referred to his syphilitic infection which he really could not accept, it was his clash with the earth, there the earth got him down.” “…the frog is the first attempt of nature to produce something like man, an animal with two hand, two legs an no tail… it’s a cold-blooded little man. One could call the frog in the fairy tale a sort of embryonic man in which the beautiful prince is not yet recognizable” “(the frog and the princess fairy tale) is really a great myth, a sort of initiation myth… the ancient myth that through a violent intervention man is able to break through the husk and become superior being.” “Our consciousness of what man is, of being a human, is the frog; it means man looked at as a mere biological being. But that is only the outer shell of something very much more beautiful and perfect inside, the shell that will be broken through and cast off, either by death, when the beautiful superior man is liberated, or by the intervention of a mystical rite in initiation.” “But the frog, symbolizing man as he is, can only attain to the dignity of a healing symbol when it is compensatory, that is, when it meets an audience, an individual or public, that identifies with the superior man within…" "(we can’t identify with the Prince Charming, or the superior man)… it is redeeming or healing for us to accept ourselves as we are, instead of always wanting things to be different.” “The thing that is ugly and repulsive (like the frog) is the thing that leads to redemption” “The frog is not on the cross because it has nothing to do with the spirit, the frog has to do only with the body, with the imperfection of man.” Jordan being the frog is the clear signal from the collective unconscious that he is the first attempt to redemption of our unbalanced modern way of living . He is pointing out our collective imperfections, our repulsive side and for that we (by the influence of the unconscious) turned him into the frog, which is perceived by some as the ugliest man and by others by a healer of modern collective craziness. Both ways he is attempting to bring transformation, striving to getting closer to the superior man.

[@fool1shmortal]

Candide Disipulus There is no comparison. God is "I Am" and who is where two or three are gathered in His name. Anyone else prayed to in that fashion is unholy, unless the one is an emissary of His under the people's understanding that one is an emissary and not adored (latria) but venerated (dulia or hyperdulia) and the goods are ultimately from Him. There will be no egregore Pepe the Frog or Crowley there. The latter worshipped false gods God lets have their way for a while, due to their free will, but vanquishes easily.

Jordan Peterson is the one reason I'm proud of going to U of T.

I don't know what to say except thanks professor .

[@andrewilkens7131]

This is GENUIS. Thank you Jonathan Pageau! Appreciate it very much!

[@JustThinkingOutLoud]

I re-played that moment of saying they see Pepe as identifying when it's Trump, Hitler etc, but see Pepe as mocking when it's a stereotype of some 'marginalized' (as in in the present) group. That is exactly what I realized meeting many people in the US when it comes to race. Always looking through their lens and finding exactly what they are looking for, and anyone who does not adopt their worldview, must be blind.

[@ojberrettaberretta5314]

you such a great youtuber hope youre gonna make more vids

[@aorusaki]

where is this quote from?

[@A_J_Ash]

Although the first half of this video was quite funny and had a bit of insight, the 2nd half was legitimatley amazingly interesting. The direction of discourse with Pepe memes and how people react are so nuanced and observable that it is really absurd to even think about in a meta sense I congratulate the fact that this video even got made

[@ExtremelyTastyBread]

I remember seeing this years ago and thinking that this Pageau guy was a real trip. Then I found his channel and realized it only gets trippier from here on

[@ItsEricaBeyetch]

glad to see you are looking and sounding a lot better now I was really worried about ur health

[@NorthStrongSC]

This was from a while ago, just posted now I think.

[@Second247]

Listen more closely to the video my dear gum vats: Two days since the frog mask video... Which was about month ago.

[@warriorfire8103]

It states this video was made in November

[@bigol9223]

The symbolic plague of frogs within meme magic is Pepe, Kermit (none of my business/me to me), and DAT BOI. The three frog-like creatures that emerge from the abyss in the book of Revelation.

[@raimethefumeknight2062]

Rup Tratin .....or its the Wrath of God....

[@bigol9223]

Raime The Fume Knight Symbolism has no single incarnation. It will repeat itself again and again within different context and formats until all is resolved.

[@bigol9223]

M. Woofington far from the first.

[@georgemargaris]

I was thinking the same thing... DAT BOI is artificial as fuck. No magic whatsoever, just a copycat riding in the wave true KEK has created.

[@D1E5ECT]

Rup Tratin yep

[@paulturner4684]

Thank you for putting up your lectures Dr. Peterson. They are a form of media that I actually feel enriched by instead of the usual mind-numbing fair that we're inundated with. I am currently one volume deep into The Gulag Archipelago and it's a tough slog, but I feel compelled to continue learning about these disastrous patterns of human behavior. So that I can better recognize them as they're beginning to resurface in our time. Are there any other books that you'd recommend checking out?

[@aorusaki]

nice!

[@MyMediaConsulting]

Paul Turner I would also recommend Journey Into The Whirlwind by Ginzburg.

[@thehardtruth2014]

Ordinary Men is a great novel on how ordinary policemen in Poland became involved in the heinous crimes of the Nazis and their progression there. I highly recommend it

[@johnlott7151]

Paul Turner Check out Thomas Sowell: Conflict of Visions. Can't recommend it enough!

[@spinningspin6053]

Once you see it resurface do you intend to crush it with genocide if not how?

[@DarrenSemotiuk]

OMG I JUST REALIZED that I am pretty sure this was the FIRST Jordan Peterson video I ever was lucky enough to view. And the journey d'hero as a result has only gotten better since then!

[@phillipkokesh6152]

excellent, especially Jonathan Pageau's fascinating understanding in the last part... 👍

[@anthonyjgreene]

Dr Jordan Peterson doing a half-hour comedy show? We really are living in the best timeline!

hes a psychologist, probably just amusing one of his patients on camera

I dont think I have ever seen Mr. Peterson laugh

[@lidu6363]

He did laugh during an interview with Steven Crowder. He also explained in the same interview why he doesn't laugh when he's telling jokes. Savage.

[@Zayden.]

ayy he's miserable. he can't stand the crushing guilt

[@hearts12ish]

9 minutes in he jokes about miss piggy and laughs :)

[@cellardoor7500]

Jinx I've seen him live and he laughs. He's incredible. Love that man.

[@painiscupcake5433]

08:57 It's actually Jonathan's laugh that triggers his laugh. Somebody could probably do a half hour video about the psychological mechanisms of that

[@seekerout]

While I think Jonathan's done an awesome job of unpacking the symbolism, I'm not so sure about him associating conservatives with Pepe. Seems to me that Pepe arose, not from marginalised conservatives but from marginalised freethinkers, anarchists and oddballs.

[@HuskyHero133]

Sandy A with a right wing or libertarian bent

[@akrearke]

It is the symbol of those who remember that life is supposed to good fun. Pepe is the second coming of BOB, who is himself the second coming of Eris, who is herself the second coming of...etc,. The funny part is the worshiper of Moloch thought they were in control because Xaos has been sleeping. He has awoken. Now the elite realize they are victims of their own game.

[@MrDUneven]

Everyone praise Eris!

[@AntiAtheismIsUnstoppable]

Pepe is for Free thinkers, not ideologues.

[@dr.kinderman5290]

Sandy A perhaps by all who were marginalized by the left.

[@nexoscraff3312]

This is the video that sent me on my journey of Peterson, at the start of 2017. In truth, it was because I had watched Kek Trumps Moloch, and was tending towards the alt-right. Jordan, you have saved me, as I'm sure you have many others. I cried during your first Joe Rogan interview, when you talked about reconciling science and religion at the end of your first season of the Biblical Stories, and was given 12 Rules as a Christmas pledge. I now disdain all these horrible ideologues, all these people that fail to recognize the deeper meaning within. Thankyou.

[@JP_AZ]

NexoScraff wow!! Amazing story

[@CivilWarz]

Ditto! 👍

[@grantcleveland4506]

The moral of pepe the frog is to retreive Jesus from chaos? Brilliant! St Christopher pray for us that we will not drown under the weight

[@12345678abracadabra]

Peterson is being hailed as this right-winged hero, but people aren't fully aware that he isn't a right-winger himself.

[@NwoDispatcher]

12345678abracadabra he is upholding and conserving the western value of open debate and rational discussion. in that way he is conservative

[@tokenminority4153]

911globetrotter liberal, in any form, must have something to liberate. So either he's conserving our freedom to speak on and out about anything we want, or he's liberating free speech from the shackles of speech suppression. He's doing the latter in Canada, so you could say he's a classical liberal. But if he was in America he'd be the former. In any case, we shouldn't be putting the prophet of kek on a political spectrum. He's a prophet not a politician.

[@1110-s1t]

Crixus good summary my friend. Jordan has said hes a lefty by virtue of being canadian basically but he's a libertarian leftist, conserving rights and maximising freedoms.

[@Caligula138]

12345678abracadabra classical liberal

[@RanEncounter]

It is so funny to see so many people think politics is so black and white.

[@drillsargentadog]

Prof. Peterson has the potential to be profoundly educational for us. Hopefully him getting press as a defender of free speech will lead this movement to a more profound understanding of ourselves and our society.

[@Chatetris]

Well folks, we have a memed professor. I wish i had professor like this at the University of Calgary.

[@emocuta]

Dr. Peterson has balls! Thank you🙏🏼you save lives❤️

As soon as I finished watching the video of you in the tribal frog hat and thought to myself, "I wonder if he knows about pepe and kek?" you posted this video.

Reminder that Kek is the dark god of chaos

[@CynicalBastard]

Eris is the God Chaos. Kek is a primordial Chaos deity (being of the pillars of Egyptian cosmology), who brings the night into day. he's also got a female consort of sorts, Keket, whom is the day into night.

[@zachjohnson7654]

[@Endymion1440]

What’s perhaps most interesting to me is right at the end when Jonathan is talking about what the most important thing for western civilization is. He says it is the “logos” which he (rightly, I believe) translates into “the word” from Greek. When I heard him say that, it was a “eureka!” sort of moment because I’ve grown up in the Protestant Christian tradition, and I recognize the sort of spiritual ramifications the “logos” has in the gospels, and by extension the ramifications it has over humanity as a whole. In the gospel of John, his prologue makes heavy use of the word “logos”, or “the word”, as it was written in Greek originally and John was saying something very specific about the nature of God. It reads: “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him there was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it...(skipping to verse 14)...The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father full of grace and truth.” Jonathan says, “So we must find the word. For it is the sun that rises out of darkness.The word is the thing that comes out of death and lives again.” My mind automatically started this inner back-and-forth: “We must find the word.” - “The word was with God, and the word was God...The word became flesh and dwelt among us.” “For it is the sun that rises out of darkness.” - “In Him there was life and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and darkness has not overcome it.” “The word is the thing that comes out of death and lives again.” - John uses “the word” to speak about Christ, and the entire Christian faith hinges on Jesus being killed and rising again. “Logos” is hard to pin down in English. We translate it as “word” but it slips also into “the reason” or “the logic” or maybe even “purpose”. It is the word God speaks in Genesis to order creation and subdue chaos. It’s the divine sort of purpose that we feel. I may just be utilizing Dr. Peterson’s comment section as a place to order my own thoughts for my own benefit at this point, but I was just excited to have that melding of ideas happen. I’ve also enjoyed Dr. Peterson’s lectures on the biblical stories and I’m sure he probably references some of these parallels himself. If you’re at all interested in this odd parallel, definitely read through John’s first chapter after watching this.

[@ojberrettaberretta5314]

great thougt imo thanks for sharing it

[@PaulMcMinotaur]

This video is the first thing I saw from Jordan Peterson, and I’ve been following him and his ideas ever since. But I recently got into Pageau, and I realized that he was right there all along. You should check him out if you’re interested in mythology and symbolism.
