What Jordan Peterson Isn't Telling You

[@mrmasonry9792]

I went down the self help rabbit hole and loved what I heard but I couldn't apply it for some reason. Then one day I was running late for work and mad at the world and it hit me. I said to myself why am I mad? These people going slow in front of me did nothing to make me so mad. I then realized I was actually mad at myself for not being more responsible and leaving the house just a few minutes earlier, but I was projecting that anger at those that did not deserve it. It was a cop out so I didn't have to change and grow. Then I just started making myself the problem. No matter what was happening, I asked myself how can I be better next time. What did I potentially do to make this happen? By constantly pointing the finger at me instead of the world, I slowly started to change and I became so much more happier and free front bad emotions.

Jordan Peterson has been pushed by the media using a bit of reverse psychology. He holds quasi male blame mentality about why most young men are struggling instead of asking what changed in so,y,cietty, which pushes women ahead and constantly break down males and giving extra weight against men when applying for jobs and college, school systems which blame boys or neglect them... calling men toxic masculine... etc but Peterson doesn't bring that up everytime as the primary problem being done by Leftists on purpose. He also wants Digital ID using "bullying" as the excuse which is what the Leftists want. The deepstate always likes to use infiltrators claiming to be Christian's like with the coffee company that turned out to be leftist anti-gun while claiming to be conservative. Be discerning on who this University professor that became big out of nowhere really is.

Jordan peterson is not an atheist and does not advocate for a worldview that does not in corporate an external higher power. He frames God through a lens of the Bible most often, he just doesn't adhere to what the modern Church's interpretation dogmatically perpetuates. Whether the modern church has it right or not he is using the Bible and nature which is what the Bible asks us to do to interpret the word through.

The pressure to produce a video every day can lead to this. Peterson's work needs deep reading or listening. Hours, days, weeks of listening and trying to reason out what he says. It's no matter if he believes in a god or not. Trying to sort people into believers and non-believers is exactly what Peterson contends is the biggest problem our society faces, i.e. sorting people into groups instead of dealing with each other as individuals.

[@invidious07]

JP is a man of science and there is no way to scientifically know if there is a god in the Judaeo-Christian sense. What there is evidence of is that the "word of god" as presented in the Judaeo-Christian tradition is true. When applied it does yield the personal fulfillment and stable societies that it promises. Personally I do hope these words came from god, but if they are merely tens of thousand years of accumulated knowledge and Darwinian trial and error that is still really good. We have our whole lives to come to terms with our faith, but we don't have time to put off living a good life. Stay on the path, fight the good fights, and at least have faith in yourself.

[@patrickd9551]

Well to generalize the Atheist population like that is a bit shortcoming of said population. I consider myself atheist and I consider myself mostly aligned with the christian / conservative population. It's just because the bible (taking the new testament here) has some pretty basic ground rules. But so does the Torah, Quran and basically every other religious teaching. It's almost as if religion was a central pillar in society and this pillar provided a set of basic rules to live by. It was Peterson that, for me at least, provided a more grounded understanding of the bible and the meaning behind it. It still doesn't make me a christian, but it did provide a lot of insight for me. As a westerner, the bible also made the most sense as it was the most prevalent religion around here, but that's just mere logic.

[@mr.mayhem9724]

Peterson is an agnostic, not a Christian. And rather than listening to its teachings he chooses certain aspects that he likes and tries to deduce them and interpret them in a way that you’d look at art or history. Do not let him inform your Christian beliefs.

[@markwestbrook6406]

Hi. I agree that Jordan has changed people's perspective on Christianity, and in a good way.....and that he appreciates some of the finer points of the messages within the Testaments....Yet, I have never heard him profess Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. I am not saying he hasn't, I'm saying I've never heard him. It's an important point to consider.

[@AllAmericanAutomotive]

Peterson is by no means an atheist. In fact, he argued Sam Harris (an atheist) on some of these points in the past. He's more of an agnostic than anything.

[@tomasxfranco]

He is a theist. At most an agnostict theist, if you want to be clear, but it sounds more like he is a gnostic theist from how he speaks about it.

[@5-minute-witness356]

He's actually said in several videos that he is a Christian when he's confronted. I think he avoids discussing it because many students are trained to tune anyone out who has a religious belief.

JBP isn't an atheist. He approaches the bible from a secular, psychologistic viewpoint which is appealing to atheists. He has singlehandedly brought me back from being a hardline atheist, near-antitheist, to being an agnostic atheist that sees the great benefit Christianity has been and is to western society, particularly American society. I would definitely encourage you to move Peterson's book closer to the top of the stack and to also check out his biblical lecture series. The book is great and the biblical series goes into great detail. I hope that your family gets well soon. Much love to you and yours. Looking forward to future videos. Keep up the amazing work!

[@phukyerpheefees]

@@atomicsmith I'd say that career atheists and antitheists are dogmatic just like fundamentalist Christians, but not all atheists and Christians are dogmatic. I think the key thing to find out is if they are gnostic (believes they have spiritual knowledge) or agnostic (believes that god's existence is unknowable). If they're agnostic, they're probably not dogmatic, if they're gnostic, they're much more likely to be dogmatic.

[@Colddirector]

Does JBP argue for the preservation of Christianity in western society? If so I honestly think that argument is a little weak, by that logic we should be actively preserving the British monarchy instead of letting it run its course.

@@Colddirector You made no argument to counter mine, simply called it weak. That didn't warrant a reasoned argumentative response. If you want to know Peterson's arguments, go watch some Peterson videos. The appeal to authority fallacy is the lamest of all fallacies. There's good reason to defer to those with more knowledge and experience than ourselves. Also, how exactly is the British monarchy even close to a corollary for Christianity? The two aren't even remotely comparable.

You talking about making the bed, reminded me of this speech given to graduating students. “If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task, and another, and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can’t do the little things right, you’ll never be able to do the big things right. If, by chance, you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that’s made. That you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.” - Admiral William H. McRaven

I think Sam Harris said it well when he said Peterson is credentialed in his field and when he deals with mainstream scientific theories, he is very knowledgeable and is an authority on the subject. Sam Harris said that the problem was he talks with the same confidence and authority on topics that are not well accepted and have not been proven. The problem is the listener does not have the ability to easily determine where the mainstream stuff stops and the pseudo-intellectual stuff starts. The few times I listened to him, I felt that he went into these long explanation using very scientific terms but in the end, I had no clue what he actual said. It sounded very scientific. It had the air of authority, but in the end if you try to analyze what he just said, it is just woo woo. The Woo-Woo Master is still Deepak Chopra. He just throws a bunch of technical or scientific words and phrases together that mean absolutely nothing but to many it sounds like he knows what he is talking about.

Instead of making up your opinions on the one podcast with Rogan, you should have looked up his KZbin channel "Jordan B Peterson" and you can find that he does not disregards the Bible and that he has an entire biblical series from Genesis to Revelations.

And if nothing else has been done, if everything has gone wrong, you can come home to a made bed. :)

You don’t need to have a PhD in psychology in order to grasp something about human nature and the way things work in life.

[@sweetcreamsdairygoats]

Beautiful! You nailed it. Let me preface, I found Jordan about 2 years ago. He opened my mind up to the truths of Christ, and ultimately was the catalyst that lead me to my salvation in Jesus. As a now born again Christian, I see how God used Jordan to call me to HIM. I see where Jordan falls short, but I have hope that many are like me and have come to the Lord through Jordan's teachings. That being said, I agree 100% with your take. I especially love your analogy about the house. Sadly, I have the 17 year old son you describe living in my home right now. He is every bit as delusional about why he isn't finding success as the fictitious boy you describe. Despite my calls for him to be accountable and of course my advice that he know the Lord, he is stubbornly holding tight to his excuses. Please pray for him to have his eyes and heart opened. Blessings to you!

I responded with this on Jondan Peterson's message... We are natural beings living an unnatural life because God has given us an awareness no other creature on Earth has and then gave us a book with guidelines as recommendations on how to act and treat one another but he also gave us our own will to decide whether to follow the book. It is our own fault if we have failed as a society.

[@AmerijamAcres]

13:50 you speak of intellectual laziness while you are making a video about a man who you haven’t even read his book. You call him a hard core atheist when he identifies as a Christian. You can’t even get his credentials correct. He’s a clinical psychologist not psychiatrist. There’s a big difference. Just maybe you could listen to his bible lectures. They are available on his KZbin channel but also through his podcast for audio only while working around the shop. I’d say it’s a little intellectually lazy to make this kind of video when it’s so easy to get the information. This is the kind of thing I’d expect from the media not you!

[@AmerijamAcres]

At 23:00 you assume he dismisses the wisdom of the biblical teachings when he has an entire series on his channel going deep into the value of the biblical stories! This entire video is you making assumptions that have no evidence in the real world. This is exactly what the media does to us all the time and you are doing it here. He has multiple videos or podcasts addressing the value of the biblical stories. You can get them on the podcast or watch them on his channel. Something like 20 hours of lectures. Maybe more and you discredit yourself by saying he doesn’t see any value in them. What happened to you? Sounds like that illness has affected your judgement here!

You need to watch his Biblical series. He is probably the best defender for Christianity right now. Like your show but you got this completely wrong. He is literally putting all his efforts on debating the atheists.

[@mtlicq]

@64lkdwg - The best defender of Christianity right now is Dr. Ravi Zacharias, who does accept the divinity of Jesus. We appreciate JBP's defense of Christianity for whatever defense he has for it, but really now, he does not accept the deity of Jesus and that Jesus was the first born from the dead, and handles the resurrection story as if it were just another metaphor and one that was parallel to other religions and philosophies, so he may not be atheist, but not Christian if he denies the deity of Jesus. JBP also presents the bible as "fiction" and analyzes it according to psychology theory and psych-philosophies, instead of respecting the divine persons and power of which the Bible consists.

Comparison is the thief of joy.- Theodore Roosevelt

[@TheGardenerNorth]

Why is it that even the slightest hint of atheism, scares the most devoted, and therefore the criticism of Jordan Peterson. JP, doesn't and never did strike me as an atheist, he does however come across as a genuine Christian, by virtue of his moral compass and dedication to the truth. I believe in Christ and I am a Christian. I do however draw the line on poking at someone, simply due to their seemingly lesser believe's in Christ or the bible. I too have not read his book, but will now.

[@mtlicq]

Jesus really was controversial even in His days in the world in human form, and "moral compass" doesn't fit what He was about. This can be said since He defended the guilty adulteress-harlot when the technically virtuous "moral" ones were about to condemn her, He drank and ate with outcasts and slept during an emergency on the sea and the others in the boat were panicking, and He sided with Mary who lounged around and socialized while Martha was working so hard to help hosting well, and He supported equal pay for the vineyard workers who worked only a short time same pay as those who laboured all day long. Christianity is not a moral compass. Respecting the divinity of Jesus compared to denying his divinity, that is the dividing line. If one denies Jesus' divinity, then He will deny us as His own.

[@TheGardenerNorth]

mtlicq I'll first read JP's book to understand if he is denying Jesus, his divinity, if that is the point your trying to make. Although I'm pretty sure that the book is not about being a better Christian, but more about being a strong and decent individual that is in control of his or her life. I can appreciate your reply, but really do not need to be preached to. I'll leave that to God, Jesus and the bible in the console of my truck.

[@mtlicq]

TheGardenerNorth the first bit is not the point, that is established and beside the point. My point is that "moral compass" is not a substitute for conferring the divinity of Jesus.

I can truly say that Peterson’s lecture series “Maps of Meaning” was instrumental in helping me find the Lord again. It’s just my experience, but this isn’t the work of an atheist.

Stop using a God as a crutch. All religions are a guide on how to live you life. Its the principles that are important. Jordan is explaining the principles about how to live you life. Its important that one hears the message and not to get bogged down in the details. Asking a God to help you achieve something is the same as asking yourself. The strength and determination comes from within. Most of the 10 commandments are a good start in the way to live you life along with The Buddha's seven noble truths.

[@casperscuts2627]

Some of what I’m going to speak to has already been mentioned, but the quick point are Prof Peterson is a Clinical Phycologist not Physiatrist,his book is 12 Rules for Life, An Antidote to Chaos, and he not an atheist, as he stated he is a Christian (a relationship between him and God that I will not judge). Although I don’t share all of Prof Peterson’s believes he is a well-spoken, well researched individual, who is an adamant supporter of free speech and rejects the government’s intrusion into that arena. The Prof. has dared to wonder into the mine field of “political correctness” (PC) to challenge the direction society seems to be heading regarding gender and gender identity at great risk to his personal and professional reputation. He often takes a position of Physiology vs Psychology that upset (enrages) many of the Social Justice Warriors (SJW). This is a courageous position given his environment is largely intellectual and academic (University). In debates, the SJW camp tend to get frustrated with theProf. because of his adamant reliance on relevant research and his refusal to get dragged into a visceral or emotional argument.
