A Change of Heart Towards Jordan | Africa Brooke | Mikhaila Peterson Podcast | EP 120 

The amount of mental stamina this guy has is insane. Like I know everyone has his limits, but goddamn his are far above mine.

Very well said. Nothing but heroes in this clip.

@@atticus2581 I agree. I think he is a brilliant man.

@@poetsrear Both likeable people too.

What?! He is an idiotic junkie that put himself into a coma because he was too much of a child to stop eating animal products... It's sad to see people showing the Peterson's respect. They are nothing but con artists, everyone.

Boycott Marvel Comics

the actual comic book industry is failing as it has been taken over by the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel worst-of-the-worst woke soldiers. Eventually when no one is buying their garbage anymore, this won't be an issue for Jordan

Good thing i stopped watching all their shit as i saw the bs getting through their work.

@@rastaisfuture8630 No, Bro. Jordan said once that if we play their Game and win, we win their game... We don't win. We need to be better then this woke cancel culture.

@@rastaisfuture8630 no need to boycott, that's the same energy everyone that's doing evil to this beutiful human has. Make the world better by being better. not by being an asshole like the radicals on anyside of the political spectrum.

I don’t understand why because from the first day I’ve watched him I was hooked.

Amen.

He's not the only good person who's been attacked in this fashion...

Those who deny truth can’t stand those who speak it but that’s no reason to stop speaking out. I’m so glad he hasn’t.

I agree 💯! Amen.

Amen. ❤

There is so many great humanity in these words and this entire clip. Most of all I love the fact that we see humans with all their flaws, emotions and overcoming and channeling both to do and become better. So many people try to sell a perfect picture of who or what they are because somewhere down the line being a human wasn't good enough anymore... And then you see this... tears, admitted mistakes and reflecting on hard times... and none of this felt weak or like it should better have been hidden. I will watch this clip many more times.

Only the strong allow themselves to be curious. Because you can find out. That you could be wrong.

This statement is exactly how I've been feeling these days too. Ever since I allowed myself to let go of the notion that being a left-wing, liberal feminist was the only morally acceptable world-view for a modern woman, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't agree with every last thing that Jordan Peterson says, but I'm shocked by how much value I have found in his lectures...value which I would have never discovered as long as I clung to my identity as a hard-left liberal. The greatest gift and irony, since I learned to let go and become curious again? I've fallen in love...with a man who endorses Men's Rights, Red(ish) Pill social theories, and traditional family values. Someone who I would probably have hated on principle five years ago...is now someone whom I want to raise a family and grow old with. Life is such a strange and wonderful journey.

@@thunberbolttwo3953 That's fantastic!!

@@TakaraoftheElves Thanks for sharing that with everyone! Amazing & Inspiring!!!

As JP says himself its easier to just assume the other person is the enemy rather then give time, get out of your way to listen to what they have to say. It is easier to be ignorant then educated. Since knowing JP 2016 i have heard most of interview here and there and mostly his lactures. And my god if only i had a teacher like him in my collage.

Very true.

Never thought about it in that way, 100%.

This is a profound summary of this, our "information" era.

Well said!

love this!

I mean when Bill Maher had him on he seemed to almost be shaking his head at how the hell Jordan Peterson was the face of the far right when everything he said actually made perfect sense

@@libtardslayer3048 why would I be? Jordan Peterson's advice is great no matter what race you are.

@@RobwLPOC I meant to respond to Lauren S. My bad

Yeah, right?

Amen!

I thought two things. 1. I fucking love this guy, I haven’t seen someone care that much about helping another human being in actual YEARS. Maybe my life. That said, that thought actually made me rather sad. 2. It’s one thing to listen to his lectures, but seeing his vulnerable side really put things in a whole new light; seeing as though he can also be so strong. It made me feel as though I have even less of an excuse to be irresponsible in a weird way, because everyone suffers- even Mr. Peterson (if that makes sense). In that sense, only my father has had a similar effect on me when I young.

He's greatly beloved.

Imagine being him at that moment though. So unfair for someone so empathetic. Pisses me off.

I wish he was a pillar of salt, salt is actually useful

@@ddave9535 All of your ignorance and hatred will keep you miserable. Try actually listening instead of just smearing and lying. Don't be a child. Attempt to learn. You might be less of a bitter and angry person.

yep never heard of her but have subscribed now

I have a simple job but it requires spending time on the road . I take a pride in getting deep with anyone that's up for it . don't let them bully and divide us ❤️

"If you're not embarrassed by who you were 12 months ago, you haven't learned enough."

A lot more people need to open their minds to the opposite ideas and be a bit more understanding if more people do what Africa did they might realize that there's a lot less differences between us than we are led to believe and that most of us have a lot more in common than our preconceived notions allow us to see. Preconception is a powerful tool and it's fairly heavily used to create propaganda and division between people who would otherwise get along completely fine with one another. And I have friends from all walks of life I do not discriminate I sit down and I have heated debates and arguments on philosophy and religion and politics with some of my friends and is heated the arguments and debates may be we never turn on each other at the end of it we end up having a drink together and we still love each other as friends it changes very little when you actually listen and attempts to understand the other person you will see more about them and more about yourself at the same time

@@joeking6972 Why be embarrassed though? it's a progression that happens to everybody.

@michellemiqueaux5251 ❤ Amen

He's slowly letting this all get to his head. He needs to work on his listening skills and let others finish their thoughts without interruption. I do agree with alot he says.

You are a hero a lot of people don't listen to what they'll say listen to what these ladies got to say the truth the truth you are a great man thank you for all what you do

He has earned such respect with his humility. I am grateful he is a beacon of hope!

​@ernestpwhirl start with yourself Instead of pointing fingers

@@wonder777warrior6 😂😂 you sheep

Well said!

Absolutely. Such an open and genuine soul. So open about his humanity. And he has done this for decades. While being married, while being a father, while being a therapist, while teaching at universities. That's incredible. What have his haters achieved? Nothing professionally. Nothing socially. Nothing on a social media level. They say you are judged based on your enemy. Perhaps in this networked day and age, this social media, infotainment day and age, perhaps you are judged on just how many enemies you have? Have we moved on from one enemy defines us? To how many of anonymous keyboard warriors hate us, to define us?

Isaiah 5:20 says “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” There are many people out there, putting light for darkness and calling what is good evil. That I know. I am a clinical psychology student and ever since I came across Jordan Peterson, I have been blessed with his knowledge and wise remarks and I don't see the negative influence some people tend to claim about him. It's all the opposite. I love that man.

Im reading The Idiot atm and im ~ at half and must say Jordan is just like "The Idiot" from the book. He can read people very well, is open minded and has a big heart but there are many people hating him.

I wouldn't say he literally saved anyone, life is more complicated than that.

Beautiful words.

What’s your book called

I agree with you and feel the same way about this lovely strong man.

You’ll meet him.

Even this comment can change the lives of many who struggle to admit their failures and move on!

Also requires a level of intellectual and emotional intelligence that some incapable of grasping no matter their education, past experiences, culture, sex, race, political stance, etc…

He surely is the real deal!

Hope you 2 have a great life together

Intelligent woman. Pushing past her own walls.

Hey, That’s the beauty of humility and maturity as we grow. The special of us admit when we were wrong and acknowledge it. UhhhMazing

While J Peterson is right of center Mr P is not a stereotypical conservative. That is why it is so important to listen to him with an open mind and carefully consider what he says.

For someone to call Jordan Peterson “right of center” shows just how hard to the left the media is trying to drag us. Mr. Peterson is a classic liberal, which have been crucified by the left and vilified as much as the right. Even more so, since they are perceived as a larger threat than the conservatives.

AMEN!!A

You, not they!

What's not to love, he wants to make people great again.

@Kalda Forn BLM was just a way to rip off naïve well meaning white people with their guilt

@Kalda Forn so save nothing in the house... just let it burn because we can't save it all?

Woooow. So true!

@@Cancionera40 Then clearly you are not listening or understanding him. Either that or I predict you are a troll coming to wind people up who you don't agree with rather than having a mature debate.

@@Cancionera40 As predicted you don't want to listen or debate. Happy to move on. Maybe you should listen to others like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, maybe JP doesn't do it for you. Either way I hope you listen, but have a nice life in woke world.

@@Cancionera40 Good, you are now talking and debating. I did not attack you, I was polite at all times. I don't know you , but find it rare for people to not be inspired by JP. So I challenged you to prove your point. I don't agree with the raised voice or ADHD point, but respect your opinion. That my friend is debate. Again have a nice life and glad you were not a troll. PS Glad you like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh.

@@Cancionera40 I was trying to be nice oh well enjoy your life byeee

🙂 thats what i felt too

You are missing out. His recent stuff is JBP gold.

I Know what you feel mate..

Key to not taking life too damn serious. Stay joyful guys

He was joking and having fun on Steven Crowder's show.

Awesome comment! 😎 I find this so encouraging. Best wishes to you!

So cool people all over the world are learning from this man and not just westerners 👍

Right on! So glad to hear that people from other parts of the world are benefitting from his wisdom.

I actually really hope JP leaves the West for a bit and travels around Africa and Asia. Being that we are moving towards a globalised world one way or another it would be good to speak to and make connections with like-minded people abroad, especially those in developing nations.

Knowing that people all the way over in Ethiopia is listening to Jordan Peterson makes me so happy.

I am in the same situation as you..lost in my PhD..needing a menthor..how did you go about that?

I’m in a PhD program (my second year) and in august had to have surgery to remove an endometrioma! It has changed my life significantly, and I have lost s lot of motivation and drive throughout this semester. Hang in there, and I hope things start looking up for you. Chronic pain is a beast to deal with daily, but can be managed appropriately- I have changed my diet, incorporated meditation and stress reduction techniques. Easier said than done but stress increases inflammatory responses in the body which significantly exacerbated pain, especially endometriosis with it being an inflammatory condition. Sending you positive vibes ❤

My daughter just had surgery and is much better. It took a while to diagnose. Not 10 years, though.

Lovely words

I absolutely and wholeheartedly feel the same as you. So much love for Jordan!

I feel the same way! I am so grateful for all Jordan Peterson has offered me, It’s beyond my words how I feel sorry to see him pass for all this shitty situation! I hope he stands still with.

I love hearing stories like this because I can relate to them.I’m a medical student too, and Jordan’s messages have really been helpful in the hard times. Im glad they helped you too. Noroc doctor :)

@Darren sure, if you think you're better than him, you shouldn' t take advice from him ;)

He’s a smart man. Depressed by the weight of his own mind. I’ve experienced this type of breakdown lately and it comes from moments of pure light and darkness alike. He’s not numb.

very well said. spot on.

Very Passionate and caring man.

Peterson is a real mench.

“Emotional”. Is a sign of Humility in this Man.

@@imworkingonit2468 AND BECAUSE HE IS RECAPTURING CHIVALRY The Art of Being a True Gentleman. The feminist movement in its zeal to gain rights has stripped out Those qualities which cause the attraction between the 2 sexes. No wonder we now have wanna be fems competing against Women in Sports. Winning And Flaunting their Medals!

Let us know how it goes.

You’re an honest person. Too many on the left have written him off without hearing him out. He’s not perfect but he’s trying really hard to be true and honest. I think he has integrity that no politician can hold a candle to. He’s an act to follow.

Somewhat of a conservative guy here living in Texas. Even some of us on team red can get our heads up our own ass. I always tell my friends that most of us everyday people have more similar views than we would like to think.

it's great that you can remain open-minded enough to listen to what your political "allies" see as their arch-enemy.

@Kalda Forn It's not about "winning people over". It's about maintaining an open channel for discourse to avoid people from getting sucked into mutually exclusive echo chambers. We can never be "over that". This is exactly how society becomes polarized, for the detriment of almost everyone. And to conclude, always remember: Twitter is cancer! Have a nice day

It's also Carl Rogers style therapy, part of it is that deep down, we know the answers to our own questions about ourselves, either consciously, subconsciously, or unconsciously. It's not the therapist's job to give straight answers/advice, but to point people towards the path where they can realize the answers themselves. "As no one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves."-C.R.

That kind of question is proof that he is a deeply professional and honest clinical psychologist

@@bva0 Thats what he was saying guy.

😂😂😂

Being a 21 year old man he has helped me a lot in the past 4 years dealing with growing up. Even my own father who was born in 1959, 3 years senior to Jordan, found many important and life changing teachings from this man.

Beautifully said

Took the words right out of my mouth.🌹🌹

Me too Lori, so brilliant

totally

That humility is contagious under the right conditions. We need it as an inoculation to the current political disarray. We all must participate in that humility, in the presence of dissent, to move onward and upward.

Part of it is that he can not only sympathize with a person but understand the drive behind actions of people and not simply take offence, but understand other peoples perspective through a neutral lens.

No seriously may God continue to bless this man & his family 🥺

He's a great listener and interpreter of conversation

@@invictus_They-Them_Nazi_Hunter lol. Projection at its finest. What a great argument! Lol

Absolutely. And I think Africa’s example took her such bravery, honesty and kindness to admit. I think his recognition of that act is what makes him weep, along with the fact that, as you say, this kind of change is exactly what he hoped people would take from his lectures, and things went somewhat the other direction for far too many people due to the lies brung forth of those very tribalistic tendencies. It’s like a vindication.

@@likelydaily6767 im sure, deep inside his mind, there's doubt. doubt that maybe this is all for nothing, maybe he was wrong, maybe doubt about human nature, doubt about what was all this for. then when he hears those words from africa, it's like how satan is defeated, and it feels glorious, feels like a choir almost shouting in victory, that it's right. this is it. vindicated is an apt word

@@williamadiputra2850 100% but that's why he's so successful. Because he cares about helping more people than his collegiate teachings could reach, he cares more about the message than he cares about his own mental health. There are too few people in this world that are so selfless.

Well said.

Yes - beautifully put. What we really want to see in the world is an inside job - it takes humility and strength. This girl is a wonderful role model.

nope

I am a former Incel. Thanks to advice by Mr Peterson, i have learned that the internalized anger and bitterness i have felt, were all a construct of my own making. I created my own hell. I want to apologize. I know i haven’t hurt you directly, but perhaps indirectly by supporting a negative doctrine of spite and resentment. The key to finding a reliable partner is not to hold out for someone who is submissive, but to be submissive to myself, and become the partner that i wish to have.

Definitely agree with this, I'll never cry when the chips are down but show me an act of heroism or compassion in reality or fiction and I'm balling like a little baby.

So do I

Same

100%!

I love what this man does and stands for. I do not know him personally.

Are you, attracted you the opposite gender?

As well as to her for being willing to sit and take the time to actually LISTEN TO HIM rather than the snap judgment of her friend’s opinion from an unfinished 3 minute clip.

I think I saw my Dad cry one time in my whole life. The first time I cried was after my Mom passed away, I was 47 years old.

❤️

I believe he plays a very valuable role in society, but he still has his biases and limitations that prevent his further growth qua consciousness. Leo gura from actualized has a great nuanced analysis of jordan. Highly recommended!

Some Climb to Glory guys helped us out once downrange. Thank you.

@@CamouflageMaster It may be exactly this aspect of him, having these levels of biases still, that make him more accessible to the people he's supposed to impact with his perspectives. In essence, everyone is biased. I see a lot of bias in Leo as well and question the accuracy of his insight, including on topics like JP or conspiracy theories and such. Yet he (Leo) is being of tremendous service to the collective and many of his sharings are profoundly valuable, advanced and on point. The same could be said of JP, although JP imo isn't as aware of deeper dynamics of consciousness in an experiential and intuitive sense as can be seen in many people who have had awakening experiences and are advanced meditators or perhaps made use of psychedelics to enable a lot of such insights like Leo seems to have done. JP is poking the collectives ego and delusions from a certain angle that is still relatable enough (for many) to understand and to contest with/process, for the point that the collective is currently at in its level of consciousness.

@@EvilUmagon interesting, hadn't thought of it like that before in regards to JP. But it makes sense what you say to me. Would you share some of the biases you see in Leo?

Truly

And that applies to all of us.

@Jan Sobieski not at all. That’s hard for anyone of any background to do. Most people never confront or own their biases.

@Jan Sobieski My response had nothing to do with race. I wasn't idolizing anyone. In fact, I specifically stated that it's an impressive thing for *anyone* to do, regardless of their race/culture/gender/whathaveyou. I relate to your raw feelings about Waukesha but flipping out at people who vaguely look like the people you ostensibly hate is exactly what we rightly despise the BLM/Antifa rioters for doing. There may be a valid place for you to direct the enmity you're expressing, but this particular comment thread is not it.

Sicko

Perfectly stated. I couldn't agree more!!

Exactly. Well pointed.

Your comment deserves 2 thumbs up. Thanks for shining a light on a quality Jordan possesses that far too few have.

@@edledoux2788 As an older person from a Christian-heritage country, I can tell you it used to be a lot more common. It is called meekness, which has been misinterpreted for decades. It doesn't mean "weakness". It means surrendering your strengths (eg intellectual strengths or position etc) for the sake of others, for the benefit of others, out of LOVE (desiring their good) for others. It's a trait of Jesus (as anyone who has read the Gospels knows) and also those who are born of the Spirit and have Him - by the Holy Spirit - indwelling (John 14:16-17, Romans 8:9, 2 Corinthians 13:5 etc). It is so powerful and its effect so influential on society that even its seeds down the ages were/are seen in societies. I call it "the touch of His robe" or the "light of His countenance". In other words, even those NOT born of the Spirit and who wouldn't even have called themselves "Christian" were positively affected by this influence and imitated it, in the same way that we are influenced by the sun even when it's sooo far away. Christian influence is still there in the world even when true regenerate believers (the only kind: John 1:12-13) are fewer i.e "far away". Jordan Peterson would likely agree as he is being more and more influenced by Christ. Suffering is the only thing that humbles us and when we are made "less" by suffering (even temporarily), when we cry out to Him, He lifts us up. More Christ in people always makes them better. We were created by God but we're spiritual orphans tainted by the corrupt world and "the prince of this world" i.e Satan...until we are re-united/reconciled to God the Father through His Son (Romans 5:1). "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled. Whoever humbles himself will be exalted"

And he made sure to post it on his own channel for the humility of it all.

That's what I was thinking... because now I find myself wondering "am I listening or preparing to speak again" - So now I get to thank Jordan Peterson for affecting Africa Brooke for affecting me... lovely progression to better listening

But that’s what adults do, they revisit and revise their opinions.

@@lizroberts1569 You must be living in a very unique place because I know very very few adults willing to reflect at the level of Africa. How many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb? 1. But the lightbulb has got to want to change.

its not really "fantastic". Its what we should all be doing. I was taught to do precisely that when I was at university: you should always interrogate your own views to understand why you hold them and to make sure you are being rational. Its fundamental. But I agree that it is unfortunately uncommon amongst younger people in this day and age.

@@elo1031 great comment!

my mom was a single mom as well. Much respect for you and remember you mean the world to your kids!

So true. I caught a couple videos of Jordan explaining/ analyzing some stories in the bible. I could listen to any historical/ religious text with his narration and thoughts.

did they get rid of them or something?

Jordan misses some things in his path to find meaning in his biblical research, but not much. He is earnest in his search and that accounts for a lot in my opinion. The few times he misses the mark are many times more overshadowed by the general emphasis of delving deeper and finding meaning where very few have trod. His search is good for him and good for all who partake in the fruit of his search for the meaning embedded in scripture. This search raises all boats.

Are there videos that were removed? I looked on the channel just now, there is a biblical series playlist. Maybe there was more? I remember there being many many videos of university lectures, but I don't see so many now. Am I just misremembering the amount of material or did some of it actually disappear?

@@ricklaming3007 Do you know he´s done lecture series called Psychological Significance of Biblical Stories? It´s on his channel, 15 parts, each 2 and a half hours long. Enjoy. :)

Yeah I was surprised to but I guess when you think about it, he really is trying to help people on real person levels and empower them, which is why he speaks so strongly against any kind of dictatorship, and so to be portrayed that way hits him where he bleeds

imo one of the biggest problems with the Marvel incident is that i know not everyone is going to handle it as well as Jordan Peterson will. he's got a background that keeps him from falling into the self-fulfilling prophesy that could potentially come from being categorized under the red skull "archetype." the same can't necessarily be said for the sizeable group of young, white, conservative men who only have a cursory understanding of his work and know that they agree. if ta nahesi coates were trying to create an actual violent fascist movement in the west, this is how he'd effectively go about doing it. if they don't stop painting people the way they do, they risk having the prevailing thought on the young right become "well, maybe I am red skull - and that's OK"

It was brutal. The people that created it probably haven't really listened to him either. We will await their redemptive podcast coming soon lol.

that marvel thing made him look in a way that he detests and does not want to be... the possibility that people see him like a new hitler or sth of that sort must have been realy bad on him

There is always a tipping point. Especially if you try to be honest in a malevolent world.

shes an idiot , what kind of person bases their whole judgement on a subject let alone on another person on the pronouncement of a third person giving secondhand opinion ??? and them go on for years to discount and ignore every other persons advice based on that prejudice ? at least she did have that eventual glimmer of sanity to open her mind to reality

@@bobsaturday4273 did you watch the full ten minutes or better yet-the whole interview? I'm thinking judging on a ten minute clip is equally terrible to judging a whole human being on ten minutes. Or a single comment on a RU-vid channel. Dig deeper and look closer? "I don't need you to understand me. I just need you to understand I'm having a human experience." - Daphne (Dave Chappelle's deceased friend)

@@bobsaturday4273 Just like you are doing right now? Watching a 10 minute clip and basing your opinion on her of that? Seems pretty contradicting to me

Bald lady's initial facial expression are quite evident that its not sincere reaction to Jordan's analysis of argument discussed. Seems like it bothered her to an extent based on how she roled & squinted longer than normal.

@@bobsaturday4273 Yet you just called her an idiot, after having spent only 10 minutes listening to her speak. _10 minutes._ That's not even enough time to fully introduce yourself to a person, much less get to know them in any meaningful way. And here you are, basing your whole judgement of her on the pronouncement of your own second-hand perception of her in this conversation. And you'll probably go on for years, persisting in your belief that she's an idiot, even though you don't know the first thing about her. Hypocrite that you are! Remove the TREE from your own eye before you start digging for specks in other people's.

Wow ! That is pretty awesome

Thank you Andrea.

@@JordanBPeterson Thank YOU!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You have been a catalyst for so much healing for so many people, it’s just incredible! And you reached me at a place where I honestly don’t think anyone else could have. In case you’re wondering, the documentary was “The Creepy Line”

@@JordanBPeterson I love you Jordan... you are a good man

agree, same here.

Right on brother! I just discovered Jordan Peterson literally only two days ago and I’m already making a damn good effort at pulling myself from out of the depths of despair. I am so grateful for his wisdom and work, yet so appalled at the same time that people will try to vilify such a caring man. But am I truly surprised? Not really.

I’m very happy for you, I stand with you in admiration and gratitude for this man.

Wish your life was different, by listening to anyone opinion . They have their agenda, every last one of them. Fame , ego, wealth, power., God. The power to inflate an ego of people damaged by being a slave to wealth seekers, ego boost to mindset, of get famous. ? Why, if.a true help to humanity is the agenda, more good is for the United Earthling. Not just we did this for the needy. The needy , is humanity. They need to get themselves into looking at it as , it’s all of them United. No amount of just your effort can raise us among squalor and starvation we suffer, selling any part of our soul for money to live. While the controllers have money to control us as their slave to just it. --. Money. Mindset, is and has to be was, it has us in chains to a hypothetical value. Money.

Can u recommend any specific content for men? I would love to pass it along to my husband. ♥️🙏🏽

@@jaquirox6579 I find JP’s content 100% applicable for anyone regardless of gender. It’s just wonderfully wise commonsense. Hope that helps.

I am 50 years old and finaly i am me.. Took me 45 years to learn to live whit the sexual abuse.. Now i can.. And dr peterson have a big part in that 😊

I had some discussions with my wife because she thought he was evil or something, I told her listen and then tell me where Peterson is wrong... She changed her mind obviously :)

@@mfam98 she should see this video

Same here - I started off that way too, listening out of curiosity.

Welcome aboard :) it makes me genuinely happy to see people willing to change their minds about Peterson and reap the benefits.

That’s a really nice comment. I’m sure it’s pretty difficult to be Jordan Peterson.it’s even harder when he says things like tidy your bedroom to help with depression and it gets completely ridiculed. But anyone living with depression will completely understand what he means by this comment. his work does make a difference.

That so so weird I hated him from dumb Tik toks too until I watched a couple of his videos last night…now I have mad respect

Same here😔

@C K lol, get a life

Difference is, he cries for a valid reason. You cry because you're overly emotional and weak.

@@Izanagioomikami no. We cry because we understand his vulnerability and how much it takes to show that. We cry because it’s unbelievable how much that man has hurt. Crying when someone you admire is crying isnt weak and nor is it overly emotional.

@@cnote3598 a poor white man is treated the same as a poor black man; yet a rich black man is treated like a poor white man. a white man in a ferrari is a casual thing to see to society, but the minute some people see a black man in one, they're a kingpin or some kind of illegal operator. i saw a news report on youtube a few years ago where a black man was in a very nice & posh looking estate visiting family, when a white family in the area called police on him for "a suspicious looking african-american" roaming in the neighbourhood. the fact that some white people can be confident enough as to call the police for a man of colour being in the same area as them, which actually gets a response by police and ended with the guy being detained, just shows the level of white privilege that is actually out here. if you feel like someone is trying to destroy you, you need to fix yourself, because ain't no white man out here being destroyed without destroying himself. you might even subconsciously feel like anyone who isn't the same race as you, is against you, which then grows hate toward that specific race, leading to the mindset of a common racist. not saying that's what you are because i don't know you, just throwing out possibilities. f**k colour, we're humans. a white lion doesn't get kicked out of the pride due to the colour of his fur.

@@cnote3598 No. I'm not even sure where to begin here, but I'll start with a simple no. 2 key things: White males aren't being "genocided" for several reasons, least of which is that nobody is going around killing men for the sake of being men, and more importantly genocide doesn't apply in context of sex/gender. Additionally, what Jordan's message is has nothing to do with genocide itself.

@@VNOMALII "if you feel like someone is trying to destroy you, you need to fix yourself" I feel like this applies to everyone. When someone wants to destroy you, you'll know it and it won't simply be a "feeling" because they will actively be attempting to do so. You're more likely to be victimized by someone you know than a random stranger, so while being paranoid about those you don't know, you're allowing yourself to be open to destruction from those you think you know. Which is weird because there's a lot of self-sabotage people of all walks engage in. People think they can't improve their circumstance because everything is against them, which isn't necessarily wrong, but they hear the same thing being told to them by people they know and love and trust, and in listening to that message they allow those people to whittle away at what could be a foundation until they are destroyed by the collapsing weight of what they believe to be a ceiling or cage that keeps them down. A cage and ceiling reinforced by people telling them the world is out to get them. A cage and ceiling reinforced by people telling them that every time something bad happens to them, it's because of something they can't control, and so they're helpless to stop. People are their own worst enemy.

I actually cried a bit hearing how that fricking comic book affected him..... Shame on that guy who drew that and whoever else worked on that.

@Joseph K he was probably on mobile and tapped the space button twice accidentally.

@Joseph K _"Why would you put a period in the middle of the bloody sentence? It's absolutely appalling, roughly speaking"_ *--* And why is a mere grammatical mistake absolutely appalling? Speaking of sophistication, Why would you not put a full-stop right after the completion of a sentence? Mistakes are intrinsic to humans, I will pray for you to have peace and love in *God.*

@Joseph K _"I don't want anything to do with you or your god thank you!"_ *--* I was expecting for the intrusive come-back, God bless you, I have prayed for you and I wish you the best, Friend.

@Joseph K big thumbs small keyboard

@@Seeker7257 "I have prayed for you" the contempt behind your words is palpable

It was horrible😢

Colleen McCollough's book "A Creed for the Third Millenium" is about an ordinary man who was thrust into a new messiah role despite his own shortcomings. Harrowing stuff. I wonder if that thought ever crosses JP's mind?

This is exactly why the left attacks him. Because he encourages individualism, which is the biggest affront to the establishment agenda of forcing collectivist ideals enforced by God - the government! In the form of force to instil cowardice and conformity upon the people. Him crying means he bares a ton of pain by those who falsely view him as a tyrant, when in reality he loves them all so much!

Jp is a nice man with morals and empathy in a world full of lies and half truths

Sadly, Dr Peterson doesn't often get round to admitting his own mistakes. I mean, he CAN do it, and, on a very rare occasion, does. But a lot of his frankly bullshit statements, like the one about ancient knowledge of DNA (because snakes!) or the actual experience of god under "magic mushrooms", are still hanging awkwardly in the air. Why not come forward and admit to being wrong?

@@TinyShaman why can’t he believe that the snakes motifs in history has had an impact on human development and that amanita mascara mushrooms 🍄 can cause a meeting of a “god” like experience. Your name alone (tiny shaman) tells me that you are at least open to the idea that mushrooms or natural plants can give experiences that are extraordinary to “normal” life. I think your hung up on the wrong things here. If you boil down what he’s saying to a few sentences he’s ultimately saying that we’re headed for a culture war between modernity and post modernity. Essentially Individualism vs Collectivism and what he sees as the problem when those two types of people meet in opposition. You get excessive fascism on the right and communism on the left. He’s been sounding the alarm this whole time. He’s saying “stop! We’re going to kill each other and burn it all down if we can’t find a meaningful medium”.

@@jacobvanveit3437 I'm just talking about specific things without stretching my discourse all over the place. You know, it's a thing. The video is about admitting to being wrong. The OP is about RISKING HONESTY. And I'm talking about just that. I don't care about his political views. I know him as a psychology professor, who is supposed to be an actual professional. Yet, the sheer amount of unscientific crap that comes out of the man's mouth is frankly staggering. And every time he's confronted about any of those things all we see is some shameful backpedaling. Never the direct and honest admission of his failings.

Way to be Victor!

Yeeeeeeeee!

Excellent, Victor! Way to go! I, too, have been inspired by Dr. Peterson to challenge myself. I’m now writing my first novel, while working a demanding full-time job. I’m nowhere near as driven as he is, but I’m doing something I thought I might never do. More than halfway complete now.

Congratulations

@@mrt445 "I'm speaking for everyone" no you dont

@@mrt445 " no there isn't. Saying someone is ignorant without explaining how means absolutely nothing." thats not true either. People dont have to counter your claims. Its your part to provide evidence for your claims, especcialy when you inlude everyone and then people disagress already, which by itself already is disproving your claim.

@@mrt445 wait!! hes says things that have already been said?!?! Wow thank you, you know what, you are so right!!! Could you point me to the people who dont. You know some contemporary original thinkers?! ....this is a ridiculous, and played out take..so unoriginal on your part thats the irony. Who told you to think this? You know that he has said this himself?? He doesn’t claim to be an original thinker at all, its the exact opposite and you should know that with such a critique. what he does claim is to be someone has done all the reading and research and takes the parts he finds important, then finds a way to package it in a way that is consumable for the people that want it and the some that need it.. he never claims he is all knowing. Id like to know what are you doing to help? for starters, lets have your list of modern day original philosophers, psychologists, etc that you think will resonate with the millions and millions as Peterson has. And i love reading so i cant wait to read who you list.

he is a is one of the elite also, playing into this whole pandemic narrative. watch he will vanish into the background once they start rolling around the digital ID. he is just an actor.

Why do you think a major corporate influence would agree with popular rhetoric, and label him a Nazi propagandist/sympathizer/apologist (choose your own degree of complicity)

You mean “classic liberal”, not actual

Noel, I'm about as old (ok, older) and have commented only one handful of times ever. Your words really moved me. You got me to cry. Maybe we are realizing the same thing for the Same Reasons. Its something to feel actual connection across a distance that so many seem to want to increase. Thank You too, as well as Jordan for helping me realize this closeness we all WANT and fear to experience. Bless You.

Thank you both for you heart felt words.

@@mattski850 - as in the words of Jesus: do unto others what you want others to go unto you.

It just shows you he doesn't get the compliments he deserves...those 100 haters are louder than his millions of supporters, which says something about us really.

😢

That's the thing. It was more than a simple compliment. It's who it came from, and Dr. Petersen's realization that he had such a profound effect on an influencial individual who wasn't "supposed" to agree with him. The potential is so huge! Just think what Ms. Brooke is capable of now--perhaps changing an entire culture!

Dear Kara, I don't know you but when i read you had cancer my heart cried for you. Out of love for you and for everyone else who deals with pain in her or his life. I wanted to give you hope in times of darkness. Jesus said in Matthew 11 28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Also in John 11 23-27 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” John 4 9-14 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?” 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Jesus was showing the women if she start believing and have faith in Him she not only find but will have eternal life. That is why Jesus said in John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. So from all these verse we see that Jesus Christ (Yeshua meaning salvation) is the one we should believe in and have faith in. Jesus is the one that gives people Eternal life even if life seems hopeless because off all the troubles in this fallen world. In Him (Jesus) we find hope, true love and rest for our souls and eternal life by faith.

Hi Kara, thx for sharing, too few times do people get to know how a fight against a disease is not just 1 dimensional and affects and causes so many other struggles and self perceptions. Where in fact it can create an over and under reaction to life everyone take for granted. Both beautiful and terrifying. I wish with my heart you will win your fight, because there are not enough understanding and special human beings as you. Love Ash

Yours is a Beautiful testament to the positive effects of truth, compassion and discipline. So glad he answered the call.

"I don’t know who I am, I never knew. And that’s okay". Great wisdom in those words. Hoping you are feeling better

Stage 4 adenoidal carcinoma of the large and small bowels here. Been doing chemo every other Monday for a year now. You ever want to talk I'm here.

You can tell how genuinely touched he was. Some people can turn the water works on and off like a faucet but, when your face becomes flush, your eyes get red and you start to sweat, it's almost like you're embarrassed that you've shown how vulnerable you really are. He genuinely cares that he has made a difference in someone else's life.

and i believe that’s why he does and that’s why he does have a lot of love from the people that actually listen to him rather than those basing their opinions on others. no matter how much hate he gets from everyone, as long as he knows he was able to touch one person, one soul, then in the end it was all worth it.

You don’t become a clinical psychologist if you’re not deeply motivated to help others.
