[@romanlakes]

He has interesting things to say at times, but if strays into other fields that are not his areas of expertise all the time. If you look at what experts in those fields have to say about his claims in those areas, they’re frequently wrong. He’s really not all he’s cracked out to be

Very well put. I think you explained it very simply.

[@heldinahtmlhell]

No, he has a strict ideology and belief system, and he makes note of things that support that belief system and discards things that don't. It's called confirmation bias.

[@mauzeking6661]

​@@heldinahtmlhellreally what evidence do you have to make a claim like that? There are many time where Jordan has stated that he has changed his mind, was surprised by the results, etc. there is also evidence that this information has altered his theory as well. So where do you get off with your claim.

Jordan Peterson just made me appreciate my own brain. What he described and physically acted out is how my own brain organizes things but I have so often tried to make it work differently. I also appreciate how he didn’t let the other guy tell him how his own brain worked; he stuck with what he knew about himself to be true.

[@DH-mf6rd]

I could tell this is how JBP thinks. I've developed the same way with programming. Everything self directed and incorporated into a a sort of working model. Each new piece of info is either plugged in to expand the model, or the model adapts. Once you have this model, you can easily pull from it to answer questions, or just talk for hours as you explore different sections.

it was scientifically proven that this interviewer doesn't know when to shut up.

[@lulumoon6942]

But can you say, "Page 73..."? I thought you for sure had a photographic memory.

[@Frejborg]

The photographic memory thing is amusing because it's indicative of how people who do not think like us, often perceive intelligence, and intellectualism, etc. So it shows how far they are in perceiving the true nature of such thought as ours. There's a large difference in possessing knowledge, and attaining understanding, and evaluating new thoughts, to flesh out the comprehension of reality, in all it's dimensions. So that the new take hold, and the old pass away.

[@GrubKiller436]

@@regerbryan Abstract thinkers. If you want me to simplify it for you, it's scoring high in a personality trait called "openness." There are also subcategories of openness, which you can look up further. The way you understand things have to have some relevance, in that the concept you are discovering has to slot in with the general knowledge you already have, rather than being pure detail. This is what makes it abstract, and what I could probably even say is opposite to remembering specific details. It is somewhat ignorant that some people could think being high in openness in this particular manner means that you have photographic memory. The two are not remotely the same. And as I explained earlier, could probably even be called opposites.

[@benvandam369]

Smart, articulate & handsome... Wow

[@firstlast9813]

I think the same way! It's like making an abstract model of your understanding and it's like a puzzle where each piece can be extrapolated. Some people build the boarders, some start with a corner, some the center, and others make groups of familiar images. The crazy thing is each skill or specific understanding has a breadth and depth since history is continual. (Although this isn't how it looks in my head it works as a model) Imagine making a THICK puzzle about 7 inches thick per peice and every inch is another color in a rainbow 🌈 . All the pieces have the same pattern of color. Color represents both age and discovery (who did what and when). Each piece represents a subject we either experience or soon acknowledge

[@jackbennett2405]

He treats his mind like an infinite puzzle not a photo library it’s the way we gotta do it because we have limited ram and gotta be imaginative to solidify the importance of the information to recall it in a more thought out way

[@Frejborg]

Yes, I perceive and process basically the same as JP. I always refer to my unifying theory as he sort of states it, as my jigsaw puzzle. All experience, all information, I receive, I search for then reorganize and place the pieces to form the picture of all things together. There's always a place for everything, and nothing is left out. And I look at all layers of a thing, and try to understand their essence, and the fabric of all.

[@Frejborg]

I see patterns in the pieces, and how every piece fits together, or at least that's the goal. It's a constant process, and my mind is often lost to the effort, and enjoyment of the process. It's both straining, and highly enjoyable at times. I often know and understand things before others, and in deeper and further reaching ways. I often am able to solve problems that others aren't even aware of, or if they are, in ways they do not consider. I see answers that can only be seen, if you can see the grand picture. I also recognize that my strength and ability therein, is both a gift, and curse, and that all forms of intelligence, and ability, have their important places, and roles. I see myself as a speaker, a philosopher, an artist, an advisor, a problem solver, an innovator, a consultant, a visionary, etcetera. I am one whose greatest work is on ideas and concepts, so from the outside it may seem that I do little work at all, but it hardly stops internally.

[@user-on4yf8tj1c]

I am like that too. I think what’s he’s affectively saying is he understands “the meaning” > the content; the meaning becomes part of his map. For example, I’ve always had this problem: When I took literature writing classes in college I could write an essay that told you the exact meaning of the story - why it was written, what the characters represent, how the author is using them to make arguments - but I definitely wouldn’t be able to tell you random Jeopardy facts about the book. It’s really the difference between “synthesizing”information (extrapolating the meaning) vs. retaining the content (jeopardy facts).

Just a tidbit of information the "interviewer" is Patrick bet David and if you go to the full video you won't find anyone who says that he cuts Jordan off and asks him a million times about this. Because in the greater context of the conversation makes it obvious that it's not the case and this video cut out about 30% of this specific part of the conversation making it seem like he is cutting him off and being very persistent but due to the cuts and what seems to be a slight speed up i can see how it would give you that idea

And be able to ask questions and decide the answer and outcome for yourself By making connections to your life and experiences. Then the information is easier to understand and decipher. This man is brilliant!

[@thefirsttheist8888]

Jordan applies knowledge holisticly.

[@NorweskiDrwal]

I have Aspie. What he describes is how my brain works. I call it „thinking in contexts”. The information gets in and is assigned to contexts that have parameters matching that information. They form bigger contexts and get hydrated with new params that have high probability of being true to that context. Oh, here’s a good example: the information is like a firebolt. If you play some slomo videos of storms you’ll know what I mean. The firebolt spreads and if finds a connection, it unloads. Brain is electricity too, now that I think of it. Anyway, thinking in contexts works ;)

[@HaloHighlightz]

I’d love to understand more about this. Have you always thought like this or was it learned? If so, what sources?

[@stylish-bandit]

Like a mind mapping, and that theory in the middle. Then branching new knowledge one by one. Pretty interesting.

[@AryonaSamoto]

I have a similar way of organizing my thoughts but I have several piles not just one because there's a lot of stuff that I put in the useless/unknown pile that gets moved later lol

[@matthewlonnon5662]

Exactly, you have a working functional knowledge and you remember things because they’re connected to other things. It’s like a storyteller’s memory.

[@adamibnal-alam8917]

Ok but if he just adds ideas and concepts to his already established theory how does he avoid biases in his interpretations of those ideas and concepts. Because its seems to me that if you read most things with a strong idea in mind you're very likely to completely distort those readings to fit your narrative, which is not a good way to approach knowledge.

[@dabeast9671]

Not necessarily, the difference between him and most people is hes willing to change or throw away ideas if theyre bad or theres some other information that would change. But regardless of what the information itself says that may prove or disprove the theory. The slot it goes it is still the same.

Peterson is able to compartmentalize with precision. A natural librarian. He sorts and categorizes, using subject to pigeonhole.

I don’t always like him or agree with him, but he’s brilliant, and that’s enough.

I have what I believe to be a photographic memory, although I am no savant with it. If I get a blink of an image I can probably paint it nearly spot on. However, I have asked several well read people if when they read does that become a memory in writing or is the scene that the writing spills out become the memory. Most have told me they see it in words. And this baffles me. Take this paragraph and tell me what you see when you close your eyes. "The sun shone through the blinds leaving a buttermilk yellow on the floor as I walked through the room. The striped pattern from the blinds shadows being cast on the floor. It lead me to the fridge like a walkway." When you read that, does it leave you wanting more? Does it paint a picture in your mind and become the memory of what was read? Or do you only see it in words? Maybe let's add something. A detective enters an apartment and thinks, "the door jam was kicked in, fresh brake on the wood jam, body lays motionless in the livingroom. There is a blood trail leading from the top of the steps, down them, and into the kitchen just passed the body on the floor." Do you feel that? Do you see that scene written about? Or do you only see the words? I'm curious.
