You started jogging. You did something that gives you satisfaction and from there you've put yourself in a position to move on to the next phase of your life. In effect, jogging is your "clean your room" method of changing how you approach life. Being emotional isn't a weakness unless it causes you to stagnate into self pity. A beautiful song can move me to tears. A death of someone that I love has done it, as well. That's not a weakness. It's a part of life. It's only a weakness if the tears prevent you from living.

Damn, that line, “No matter what you do, you’re. All. In. This is gonna kill you” I really love that. This video made me fully realize something. Of the point of thinking and trying to figure out all things and trying to come with an understanding of truth. This is why I love this video, it really solidified this thought- that the purpose of finding truth is not in the truth alone, as a mere commodity, but in the utility of truth to live it in the manner which pushes it forth. To literally become one with the truth, or as Jordan said, to become incarnate with it. Mere truth alone with no incarnation is useless. While one may have to enter into periods of isolation in order to understand truth, they, at some point, will have to re-emerge back into the world, in which they hopefully will have shed their old skin and resurrected into a better form of themselves, expressing truth within their very character. For every individual to become a beacon of light, and a guiding source of understanding and wisdom. Truth must be understood, but we do have to undertake the responsibility of our very existence, as mortal creatures, and act it out in the world, maybe in our own miracles.

[@RichardHarlos]

_"The answer to the problem of humanity is the integrity of the individual."_ Yes. 100% this. Having agreed with this, what's the likelihood that this problem will ever be solved? My experience suggests that there are more people willing to exchange integrity for short-term gain, than there are individuals who are willing to exchange short-term gain for integrity.

[@aramhovsepyan3085]

I think the proof that people are ultimately willing to sacrifice short-term pleasures for integrity is that humanity still exists. And it's getting better and better, overall we're living in the best society that ever existed by many standards. Will the problem of humanity be ever solved? Not if you're an ideolog and by solving the problem you mean reaching some utopia. But I think it's not the kind of problems which is solved once and then it's gone. I think it's the opposite. The problen is always there but it IS solved as long as we exist and improve, and the meta-problem is keeping the problem solved.

[@tazzywazzy7599]

Holding onto resentment and hatred is a dark and lonely prison that keeps one's-self imprisoned. In life the betrayals, offensives, meanspiritness etc... will come. Don't allow them into your heart or get down into your spirit. Bitter fruit produces a bitter root in life. Being kind and gentle with yourself is conducive to being kind and gentle towards others.

[@ericcopenhaver]

Not 'numb', @Maxon, ... more like 'wrapped up'. You [we] are walled-in, maybe by yourself, but also maybe by your family, past events, a harsh current state of [your] existence. You're right: realizing that you are 'all in' in the experience of life should spark a deep emotional 'moment' as you contemplate that existential truth. If it doesn't, or you feel that something is missing from that 'moment', then look at your life. Look to the places that resonate with emotion: what do you care about... who do you care about? Go into those places. Let your mind loose to play and explore those places. Take note of what your see, what you experience. In this way, you can 'unwrap' yourself, enlivening the experience of being 'all in'. Best of luck to you! :)

[@richardvsassoon5144]

I am 68 years old, an American white male, relatively successful and comfortable, with good health and a family i love, a Christian by birth and choice (I was baptized twice;-). I have followed the teachings of Christ and investigated strenuously and sincerely, the beliefs I inherited. I had a visceral reaction to my 10th grade Biology class and introduction to Evolution. The Conflict never went away, until I found this Man who described in detail some of my agony and torment. There are some, who are born to be a prophet and soothsayer ( a person who speaks truth ). You will do far worse in your life, if you ignore this Man.

[@ZeyphodZeyphod]

The part about evolution I never bought is how a bunch of random chemicals dissolved in primordial seawater with occasion random influxes of energy lighting/solar UV somehow made said molecules self-assemble into complex macro-molecules that could spontaneously replicate themselves. Especially when the fossil record seems to indicate that life arose very quickly after the earth's surface cooled enough to allow liquid water on the surface. Bacteria allegedly arose very quickly then stayed more or less the same for billions of years before much complex multicellular life arose in a relatively quick "Cambrian explosion". Apparently it is duck soup to go from random chemicals dissolved in seawater to bacteria (& rather complex organism) but forever and a day to move beyond it (complex multicellular life/us). If I had to guess, in the case of earth some kind of panspermia; for the universe as a whole would have to go with engineered construct/program of some sort. Suggesting of course a programmer; make of that what you will.

[@SI29222]

+David DeNardo Actually David, evolution is pretty sound. Everything about it cross references with modern biology, chemistry, and physics. And the age dating of rock formations is based on nuclear physics and has nothing to do with presupposed atmospheric conditions. Not trying to rain on your parade but I'm a geologist and engineer so just interjecting what I know.

[@benjaminsavoy3007]

If you find it hard to reconcile evolution keep this in mind: it took 400 YEARS for the Catholic Church to accept the notion that the Sun was the center of the universe even though it was considered common knowledge for centuries...

[@uter]

I really don't see what there is to reconcile. There is no point in believing irrelevant details in the bible like timelines. It is very evidently not the direct word of God. It is a book that was at best derived from divine teachings that were translated by mortals, and then endlessly altered. If reality is at odds with what is written in the bible, it's morally imperative to acknowledge it, because the bible is not God.

[@Dubcel1]

Richard V Sassoon I too had a similar education and am now 57. Creationism never stacked up for me. Like the flat earth they should have dropped long time ago. Clinging to myths like this just devalues the other really good messages of Christianity, like taking responsibility and being a good person all your life. As teenagers we walked from religion class to English, Mathematics or Science where we were taught to question assertions which appeared to have no basis in fact until the basis in fact became evident. And then back into religion class where we had to swallow this Santa Claus for adults malarkey.

[@MikeNel_Official]

This was one of the best jordan peterson 10 minute clips ive seen in a long time. Very deep and very demanding speech for someone to improve.

[@mharbaugh]

I get into the "flow state" watching these lectures. I watched 5 of them on Christmas Day. 😬 (Its ok, my wife was out of town for work, so I finally got what I wanted most for Christmas - to not have to celebrate Christmas!)

Thanks for the brutal truth of honesty, Brutality of responsibility Thanks for the guidance.. Perseverance of good

[@cxa011500]

Absolutely beautiful sentiment. 👏🏾

[@genepoole1703]

Dr. Peterson reminds me of a wise saying by William F. Buckley. He said something along the lines of being subjectively optimistic and objectively pessimistic.

Read Dr. Viktor Frankl's Man's search for meaning. In what he calls Logotherapy.

[@Skizzy461]

Fantastic read

[@joshuawoods387]

Jordan Peterson's speeches are truly thought provoking.

Genius. Thank you so much for this.

Jordon Peterson intellectual hero Tommy Robinson working class hero. Thanks on behalf of the great unwashed cheers appreciation to you both. Trump 2020 No Surrender

[@mattspintosmith5285]

Peterson has said Far Right activists need to "grow the hell up". Being a Far Right activist is not being an individual - it is surrendering your ability to think to the mob. That can also exist on the Far Left too of course. What the working class needs are jobs and good health care - not the Republicans stealing their health care provision to hand wealth to the already super rich.

[@freetommyrobinsonfbwallace6084]

Matt Spinto Smith Politics or political activity’s that are pushed to far always turn to shit.MSM,bad Ideology’s are shit,working class don’t need told how to think what to say by nanny state,treated like children dependents on nanny, your house your work your children your future can all be taken if you don’t follow nanny states narrative.Far right far left can do one. Tommy Robinson a hero. No Surrender

2017 Maps of Meaning 12 : The Divinity of the Individual ---------------------------> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIeUloCsfKyWjrM

[@gordonbgraham]

Japanese society is predicated on the group. The individual finds meaning and self-worth within the group. Morality is predicated on the group, be the group a couple, a family, a community or a nation. It is the agreed upon behaviour, implicit or explicit, between the individual and the group. Social cohesion and harmony is the result.

[@parkerjeans5777]

I've seen the culture. Looks like a dystopian nightmare to me

[@gordonbgraham]

I've lived in Japan for 30 years. It has one of the lowest crime rates on the planet. It has universal health care and with it the longest lifespan on the planet. It has a first rate education system. Japan annually finishes in the top 3 in the world in PISA studies which measure ability in math, science and literacy. I have 5 kids all either in or have been through the public school system here. They're all well adjusted, well mannered kids with a sense of responsibility and reverence for duty with a grounded sense of belonging. I was born and raised in Canada. Moving to Japan was the best decision I've ever made.

[@Supershoutmon]

Gordon Graham Forgot the highest suicide rate

[@gordonbgraham]

Supershoutmon, actually, Sri Lanka has the highest suicide rate. Japan ranks 18th in the world, behind such Christian nations as Korea, Latvia, Hungary, Slovenia, Russia, Poland, and even Belgium. Odd that no one seems to mention Belgium's high suicide rate even though it's higher than Japan's.worldpopulationreview.com/countries/suicide-rate-by-country/

[@Supershoutmon]

Gordon Graham Interesting i remember it being first placed i like japan anyways but good to know

[@chefboiardeeznutz9881]

I'm having the hardest time to find it within me to take this advice to heart. Sometimes it feels like I was never meant to LIVE in this world, live in the sense of having memorable experiences and real improving life changes.

This man is truly brilliant.

[@russiane.lection-hacker2057]

Women have more responsibility because they have to start a family?! You mean all those women screeching on street corners about "micro-aggressions" and "institutionalized" isms? Prof. Peterson is right that men need to take on responsibility. Their first action should be to stop needing validation from women, and learn to instead validate themselves, according to their own value structures.

[@hokuhoku3244]

Those same girls are very obviously not mothers, and maybe not that likely to become mothers either.

[@russiane.lection-hacker2057]

@Hoku Hoku Exactly. And by undermining western society these juvenile women are enabling a foreign barbarian religion to take over our culture and take away most of women's rights that western men have fought for.

[@hokuhoku3244]

Russ Ian E. Lection-Hacker I think it's probably a good deal more productive to focus on adding meaning and purpose to your life, and making things better, than it is to criticize someone else's choices and attachment to an ideology. Especially when you just came from watching a video about just that.

[@BartholomewSmutz]

Unfortunately to "stop needing validation from women" is very difficult thing to achieve. It seems to me that our society is largely based on a man receiving validation from women and if you don't get it you're considered a loser.

[@BartholomewSmutz]

Hoku Hoku What's your advice for someone like me who struggles to find any real meaning in any aspect of life? I suppose you can find meaning in life for yourself personally but beyond that isn't life pretty meaningless? I find Dr. Petersen very interesting but I also realize I'm basically just killing time by watching.
