Trial of Socrates | Jordan B. Peterson

Tried by the Athenians for failing to worship the correct gods and for corrupting the youth with his teachings, Socrates knew his time was coming to an end.
Rather than flee the city, Socrates asked his inner voice, his spirit to guide him. Socrates concluded that it was his time to stand with his shoulders back and leave the world on his own terms.

@smartypants Oh I just saw you yesterday! I think your comment was on Joe Rogan with James Lindsay and I almost replied but it was a stupid question, I guess I'll ask now. I think you said you were a UK teacher concerned about this postmodern movement teaching kids about racism and 'diversity', how exactly do you fight ideas when kids are being indoctrinated with this? I have a bit more control of it because I'm in higher education and can fight back with essays and class discussions. And you should watch James Lindsay's lecture at Sovereign Nations ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZuvf5qCdqeoitk ) especially at around 39;00, he explains how this critical theory movement is totalitarian. Inclusive is now hijacked to mean if someone finds language offensive you implement compelled speech codes, but it's worse because people are afraid to speak and censor themselves, Diversity is hijacked to mean to hire critical theorists because you can only have diversity on their terms which is 'authentic' lived experience, another offensive thing is the presence of white people reinforcing hegemonic power so you make black only spaces (which they call desegregation, i.e. Harvard graduation), and people are micromanaged by administrative bureaucracy who go to meetings without them and implement policies (affirmative actions i.e. California's Proposition 16).

Socrates was also a war hero who joined the infantry as an older guy and was witnessed being a badass. Hence the general Xenophon’s decision to write his accounts.

[@CigEconomy]

Never forget that Plato's dialogues are intentionally ironic. Plato believed that logos (essentially speech or reason in Greek) alone is not enough to impart understanding, and that something else is necessary for a person to be brought from ignorance to wisdom. This is why Plato wrote in dialogue form; merely giving someone the answer will not make them understand. One must be able to figure out the answer through their own effort and the dialogue form more closely resembles how we work things out in our head. Furthermore, fictional stories allow for the use of literary devices that a typical treatise does not. Plato uses a variety of literary devices in his dialogues to try to prod the reader in the correct direction without outright giving them the answer. The most important of these is irony, particularly mimetic irony, in which the reader is meant to figure out the correct answer on their own by seeing where the characters went wrong in the dialogue by closely following their reasoning, line by line. If you pay close attention, you will notice that every single Platonic dialogue ends with the person being questioned (the interlocutor) reaching a logically inconsistent conclusion despite Socrates' best attempt to steer them in the right direction (although Socrates never admits this). This is by design. Plato NEVER outright gives the overall message of the dialogue. It is a puzzle meant to be solved by the reader. This is why, in my opinion, philosophy has gone so wrong since Plato. Aristotle and everyone after him took the dialogues at face value and misinterpreted them. We still do this today.

I have always found, the better you are in a crisis, the more people resent, detest, avoid, and hate you when the crisis is over. They see you a reminder of how they failed, how they fell short, how they were powerless, and as people don't like to be reminded of that, they want you as far away from them as possible. They will also hate you for doing the right thing, in spite of the cost, all the more so, if it would have cost them less, or even nothing, to do the same, and they did not. They will hate you if they discover the sad elements of their own past, that they use to excuse them of blame for their own bad behaviour, are much much less than they own, and you have not fallen into any of the same behaviours. As the saying goes, "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished."

[@DonJuanDM]

Recently, I have walked away from one of my best friends (we knew each other since 12), not because he is any kind of addict, he is just a normal family man like everyone. Couple years ago, my dad passed away and I told him about the news. He only expressed his condolence but never asked when & where was the funeral service even though it is roughly 20 mins journey from his home. He didn't even bother sending flower to the funeral. When we were young, he was rather poor but my family always welcomes him at home and never look down at him, treated him to meals and movies. When he was studying at college, my dad tried to help him out by employing him one morning a week with very generous wages. I was very puzzled of my friend's action but that's his decision. More recently, he even demanded me to go extra miles helping him out. That was the final straw. I guess perhaps because my dad have such a special place in my heart, I have created a judge for my own action.

A lover of knowledge would not fear death ... they want to know what is next.

As Socrates stated "does purification not turn out to be what we mentioned in our argument some time ago, namely, to separate the soul as far as possible from the body and accustom it to gather itself and collect itself out of every part of the body and to dwell by itself as far as it can both now and in the future, freed, as it were, from the bonds of the body?"

4:49 That's why the Pharisees hated Jesus and had Him killed ... they kept all the rules and thought they were righteous and the standard of holiness. Then Jesus came along and was PERFECT which showed how flawed they and people's idea of holiness was. They kept the rules ... He kept the rules but also loved everybody. That's why true righteousness can only come by faith in Him ... not by earning God's love by following rules and being "good enough" but by believing God loves and accepts us even though we haven't and can't earn it and aren't "good enough." That's the Gospel.

@@maslina10 There are two aspects to consider … the natural and the Divine. From the natural aspect the Pharisees arranged for Jesus to be arrested and crucified: (John 19:6‭-‬7‭, ‬12‭, ‬15‭-‬16 NKJV) V6-7 Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him! ” Pilate said to them, “You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.” V12 From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.” V15-16 But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away. From the Divine aspect this was part of God’s plan: (Acts 4:27‭-‬28 NKJV) “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done."

Aim impossibly high and fall just short of that and you'll rarely disappoint yourself.

... Concerning ambition and Pursuits, the abolition of work, by Bob black, is a great thing to listen to. It is about 35 minutes long in audio.

[@jackiechan1926]

An absolute masterpiece of a lecture, Dr. Peterson makes art of speech.

[@miriamvisser5647]

wow i have no words

[@GreenGnoblin]

this is exactly what I feel and do everyday since I can remember :D

[@MLD.Ltd.]

Funny, as part of an Western Art History class, I'm back here again trying to find every bit of videos where Dr. Peterson talks about Socrates and his students life and choices. The High Classical Greek Art was not simply called the "Foundation of Western Philosophy" for funsies.

I remember this, and I feel like I heard this in a much longer lecture, but I don't remember which one it was taken from.

It's kind of amazing that we came up with these ideas thousands of years ago and we are still debating their value and even authenticity. I find greek philosophy more pristine since it is before monotheism became the all encompassing truth and philosophers were really grappling with truth, knowledge, reality and nature from a starting point. It is almost as if man put solely in nature finding his purpose was too complicated so we invented a creator with omniscience to pass on the burden of knowledge

[@tarhunta2111]

In the last few seconds he says that people can partially embody that judge he talked about earlier but to me there seems to be multiple judges that people ascribe to. The judges seem to be competence, knowledge, and values. There's probably more judges than that though. Or maybe the judges get mixed together really well and we just view it as one judge. Maybe that relates with the trinity or to omnipotence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence.

10-30-2020 - - - - - To me Peterson seems to be an architect of thought and an analyst of the structures made by thought. I've often wondered what he visualizes when he pauses to think about something. I would love to spend an hour "watching" what goes on in his head (imagination) when he's thinking about something.

We all live on borrowed time. Listening to Jordan's advice on efficient methods of borrowing your time. WIll benefit those that may have decided to prematurely cash in on their existence.

Jordan gets a lot of criticism, I won't ascertain how valid it is, but I used his language structure to great extent on my literature exam. His wisdom helped me achieve the highest result in my school. That's powerful to me. ❤🙏

I mean, Socrates did have the option to suggest his own punishment instead of death. Most people would successfully argue for banishment instead. Socrates the absolute Chad suggested his punishment should be free meals for life. Hence the death penalty

Sir, watch "A Hidden Life" if you haven't by now. I would love to hear your take on it. (maybe even make a review for fun :-) ) Best wishes, glad to see you're active again.
