(Undoubtedly) Jordan Peterson's Best Speech Ever

Jordan Peterson's Hillsdale College Commencement Address in 2022 - Orginal Upload: • Jordan B. Peterson | 2...
This speech delivers on what we all love Jordan Peterson for:
His captivating speaking style, profound insights, and unmatched ability to weave together different concepts and narratives into a compelling and beautiful picture.
In this speech, Jordan Peterson delves into the profound themes of choice, responsibility, and personal growth at life's inevitable crossroads. Peterson eloquently discusses how each decision shapes our destiny, urging us to aim upward rather than succumb to lower temptations. He emphasizes the importance of truth, courage, and ethical living as foundations for a meaningful life. But you probably could have guessed all that.

Brilliant graduation speech. If any young person could really listen and fathom the depth of this speech at a young age, it would truly transform their future.

Yep. It took me until I was 27 to realize this reality. And now I'm stuck. I'm working so hard, 12 hour days, 6 to 7 days a week, and I'm surviving paycheck to paycheck.

[@lisabouland8222]

Incredible ❤

[@karenquinton6021]

I think we have to know what questions to ask ourselves when we are at a crossroad. I don’t think I know what questions to ask. What is the greatest good -how can we know? Or do we reach according to our current understanding and the way becomes clearer? What if climate change is an exaggeration and all these dedicated young environmentalists are on the wrong path?. Seems like a good goal. But perhaps the goal should be smaller and more local…

@@lindsaytwort8655 I'm not sure why any thinking person would give heed to the imperfect opinions of some ignorant psychology professor. There are a handful of EXTREMELY wise sages currently on this planet who can logically and completely answer practically any question that an intelligent soul is likely to ask regarding morals and ethics. The fact that Jordan supports men buggering each other (by which I mean, that he supports homosexuality and other criminal activities, such as the unnecessary consumption of poor innocent animals) is MORE than sufficient proof that he is not as religious as he claims, and that any decent, holy person ought to shun his inane teachings and flee into the loving arms of a teacher of Truth. Furthermore, in a recent interview in Benjamin Shapiro's KZbin channel, he admitted that his wife figuratively (and I'm sure also LITERALLY) wears the pants in his household. 👖 I would be more than pleased to provide you with links to the KZbin channel of a few enlightened beings who will quickly set you on the path to perfection, as opposed to the DELUDED moral subjectivism professed by "Doctor" Peterson (pun not intended). Please find below a couple of such ENLIGHTENED masters to which I referred above: Professor Alan Watts (now deceased, so he doesn't have his own KZbin channel - just search for his videos on numerous channels) Swami Sarvapriyananda (kzbin.info or search for "Vivekananda Samiti") Jagadguru Svāmī Vegānanda: kzbin.info

@@dr.robertfrost1405 Did JP say something intelligent in this video? Faith is a form of courage? Huh? It is good to be good despite the evidence to the contrary? Huh?

[@robertmcclelland881]

I was at this speech. So many of the "Jordan Peterson's greatest hits" type videos are delivered to people who either hate him or are neutral towards him, but this one was directed at people who desperately wanted to LISTEN and contemplate what he had to say. So incredibly honored that I could be there and appreciate it

[@haipengli4769]

I’ve started listening to and learning from Jordan since 2018, and this one resonates with me so deeply that I cannot hold my tears back. At 35, I am at another crossroad in my life, even though I’ve got a good family and a promising career. I’ll need to summon up the courage and face myself honestly, draw my future vision, and then move forward in the right direction.

[@Faceplantfloor]

The ending is so impactful, and what a rich and deep meaningful message Jordan has. It made me shed a few tears also.

[@pineyleemorris8680]

What is wrong with this audio? This doesn’t sound like Jorden. It sounds dubbed over. I don’t appreciate 👎🏻

[@alanecker9513]

Went over to the Hillsdale channel upload. That one sounds like Jordan. Seems like this is a cross between dubbed and audio filtered, because the Hillsdale one has the background buzz of the microphone and audience, but this one has been wiped clean of everything but the words.

[@TinaBornemannn]

He suffered all a human body and spirit can suffer. And it was not in vain. He gave us hope. That at least some of us has the strength and believe, that we can defeat evil at the end. Is there a more beatifull story in the history of humanity?

[@pardisb2103]

You didnt disappoint me. THIS is in fact the best speech by Jordan Peterson, and I watch and read him for 4 years now. Thank you

[@AmandaSchoeman-bc5yr]

"A beautiful mind" comes to mind. Wise beyond this lifetime. Thank you for sharing with us mere mortals dr. Peterson.

[@rhondahunt9888]

I love his heart and sensitivity. For those who don’t know that he wants the best for us, you aren’t hearing him. His beliefs, his wisdom is based partly on his clinical experience, what he’s learned from the human experience of countless others. He has so much he wants to tell you and his intelligence makes it a bit complicated but it is pretty basic advice and i hope the young adults he addressed get what he meant. I wish i had someone tell me those things. My life has been hard because i did not recognize the damage done from youth. I thought i was untouched by the harm. I am 64 now. Now i see it. Get over your pains as much as you can. It isn’t easy but recognize that most people in your life mean well (except evil people) or do the best they can. Get the lesson that was or is there. Aim up! Good luck and God bless you all!

[@angeloleen]

He is speaking from a place of pain and often thats where beautiful things resonate the most... wonderful speech

[@AK_-xn1fm]

For someone to have such articulate and vast wisdom one must’ve gone through immense suffering to realize. This is why I love Jordan. He’s been through the wringer.

The most beautiful things are also painful. Fact.

Well done for re-presenting this (with much better audio, it should be said). I think many of us felt that, hearing/seeing that speech in it's original upload, it was indeed one of the finest speeches ever. It is a much 'better' listen here and, as you say, thoroughly deserves a much wider attention and recognition than it has enjoyed so far.

[@treyjenkins5672]

Amazing speech. A literary masterpiece! Either he carefully vetted every word, or he's unbelievably articulate

He is incredibly intelligent and unbelievably articulate also. Every word he speaks is vetted by his brain before he speaks it. That takes a brilliant mind to accomplish.

The greatest point that Jordan Peterson was trying to put across was not to find any reason to comfort yourself in not doing good or great but rather whatever the situation trying to stand above that situation and do at least some great thing never to let yourself to do less in life as you go out there in society since you are done with school......

Well, that sun will rise tomorrow and well all will have another day. There is no black oblivion after death. There is no yesterday or tomorrow, only this eternal fleeting moment. So, with that in mind, maybe we can all try to make it as happy and joyous as we can. Gods will is for all sentient beings to be in heaven, we were not put here by an angry czar of the heavens to suffer, but by a loving forgiving God who would die for our sins. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." I do not consider that to be an abstract concept to be pondered by the intellectual mind. But a simple statement of reality. Like saying the sky is blue and the grass is green. I have a dream of what kind of life I want to live that would make me happy. And they will have to kill me before I will give up the pursuit of happiness. As it is one of my certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. And those rights were not given to me by any man, government, school, ideology, or culture. They were given to me by my creator.

[@bruceinoz8002]

No wonder the "usual suspects" hate Jordan Peterson with a blazing passion.. He has been on "the long search" for a long time and has a huge reserve of thinking and literacy; and a"classical" vocabulary and "presentation". A lot of people haveben ploughing this field for a LONG time, but few with the focused intensity of this man. Maybe I am so old that I was around when "literacy" and careful choice of words actually mattered.

[@leonama6876]

Mending relationships is definitely good advice. But it takes two willing participants, open mindedness and letting go of resentfulness on both side. If one is not willing to let go, it is a futile endeavor. When it comes to finding love, most are interested in hook ups and not healthy relationships. If you are not willing to follow the flow, you might be alienated. Life is extremely complicated at times. People who has never experienced trauma have a philosophy of life very different than those who had.

[@GenXPertChannel]

It doesn't take two... you can put forth and resolve to 'mend' a relationship, and if the other party is unwilling you have at least shed the burden and left them holding the bag. You're now free of that burden, which has immense value when moving forward.

36:15 "The only cure we know for alcoholism is religious transformation", What a subtle way to expose yourself as a pseudo intellectual. Don't take everything he is saying at face value. Analyse it and do your own research.

[@TurdFerguson456]

I'm not religious or spiritual at all and have trouble using Jordan's words in an ecclesiastical sense, at least as well as others... seems to take a lot of, idk, faith... a thing to which I cannot give much, logically... my brain wiring will not allow it and that's all I know... But! I'm a big fan of his logic when it comes to civil issues and social/public issues in relation to government, and his broader message of logic in a non religious sense. I've read the bible, studied both testaments, and the broader meaning of faith and what it meant in the specific written time periods, and I've read most popular writings and listened to lectures pertaining to religion, and I can safely say I understand the purpose to be a teaching of life through lessons as if under ultimate judgement. If you take all of it 100% seriously, you're crazy. We all know those folks! But if you ignore all of it 100% of the time, you're immoral, and crazy! So, for religion, I'll just say, to take a quote from Mr. Peterson, "the reasons don't justify the conclusions," for me, until they do! I'm still a proud J.B.P. follower and supporter! 👍 👍

[@gregorydayton5428]

Jordan Peterson is brilliant.

[@marsha7330]

This speech reminds me of how clinical psychologist Dr Laura Schlessinger signs off her radio show: “Now, go do the right thing.” We all know what “the right thing” is. It’s the right choice at that particular crossroads.

[@MerrittCluff]

I agree with Dr Peterson's views here...he likely covers more than I can absorb at one sitting and there is a lot to think about. Some might call him a prophet in the old testament sense...but there is little venue for these views to be affirmed and well understood.

[@DrOwl000]

He relies too much on Christianity for his ideologies. He won't captivate international audience this way. His speech needs to be anchored to something more grounded.

[@llllll5982]

This kind of people are fewer and fewer thanks to all the woke stupidity. It’s so wonderful to listen to someone speak when they actually have a real respect for knowledge and life.
