Dark Arts Are Tempting 

bit.ly/theovonclips

Talking about a guy who killed somebody: "More of a Slytherin than Gryffindor" lmfao

Theo starts his sentences without knowing what he’s going to say but improvises perfectly lol

Theo is a genius. Hands down. And I’m being dead serious. He can take a complicated subject and spit it out in a very relatable way to the average viewer. There’s a lot to Theo. No question about it.

I love how much Theo can make Jordan Peterson laugh. He’s normally very serious with everyone else.

Man, I love the chemistry between this very unlikely pairing lol.

Controversial opinion: this is the best duo on RU-vid and we need to see this again

Hi Mate. That line, ‘You have to show up for YOURSELF everyday’ was like a truth bomb to me. Thank you.

"Squirrels drawing a pentagram" 😭💀 For real though this odd pairing of personalities dropped some absolute truth bombs!

“NAIVE FIRST , CYNICAL SECOND, WISE THIRD” so simple but so heavy

Jordan saying that good is way more powerful than evil is so calming and hope restoring...

Whenever I pick a random Peterson clip or a compilation of anything he always talks about making ourselves better, rise oneself to the occasions, take on responsibilities, doing something meaningful and people still hate him. I don't understand the world man

Two of the most interesting personalities having a conversation About life. This is gold.

"The light is brighter than the dark is dark" Beautiful. I love both these dudes

Theo is such a good dude. Their is some lies and bashing towards the Peterson right now and theo posts an old clip for his friend Jordan. Solid move theo.

Theo is so much smarter than he leads on. The way he phrases things is so weird but it makes sense

I love this side of theo man. He is pure and has a very instinctual understanding of very complex ethical and psychological issues. I love the dynamic between these two

"I had a friend that killed someone and he said it was awesome" "... Huh.. right."

peterson: "the holy grail is the cup that Jesus drank during the last..." theo: "ye like indiana jones"

For those of us who are going through darkness right now, keep this in mind: "our capacity to trancend evil is far more powerful than evil. The light it brigther than the darkest dark."

Theo von is like a semi-professional racecar driver that takes philosophy adult education courses on free evenings

“Things don’t know how to be good” This is one of the truest things you can realize when you’re first starting out on your own. I had a very coddled upbringing, and a lot of my problems were solved by my parents, and once I was on my own when stuff went wrong it just kept getting worse. It wasn’t until I finally accepted that I was the only person who could change the course of things that I finally did.

JBP is so articulate hearing him speak feels like reading a really good book with your ears

Less than 2 minutes in and Peterson says something profoundly relatable, at least to myself. The notion of a progression from naivety to cynicism to wisdom seems to describe very accurately the struggle I am still dealing with constantly.

This clip makes me cry. It's so profound & true. When he says "that has to be the story or else there is nothing". That part got me.

"Get through cynicism and darkness as fast as you can to wisdom" is an excellent mantra for curing aimlessness

"Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards."

As soon as Theo told him "his old friend killed someone" - Peterson began evaluating whether or not Theo was 'that old friend'. Look at his eyes after.

When you are in a dark place, and you KNOW the right thing to do, DO NOT WAIT. DO NOT THINK! Just do it, or you end up talking yourself right out of it. And things can only get worse.

Jordan Peterson has the power to make gentlemen out of everyone he interacts with. Truly remarkable.

Listening to Theo Von is like listening to a Big Mac that can talk

Theo being able to hang with Peterson in a intellectual convo says a lot about him as a person yo he's much more than a comedian man

I love theo's responses lol. When he said "like Indiana Jones", it was both hilarious and correct. Like the most innocent and true comment at the perfect moment haha

This is so profound, big up to all the people who are trying to get out of the darkness

Theo, not sure if you saw the drama over the weekend with the Peterson family vs a horrendous journalist but thank you for clipping this and reposting. Positive exposure for JP in a world that wants to misunderstand him.

Transmuting the darkness inside you is a great skill to learn and put into practice.

This has been one of my favorite JP podcasts. Nice job, Theo. He's given answers to questions I don't recall seeing him ever being asked. Yall rock

Being a great conversationalist isn’t about talking , it’s about listening . This is why Theo is so successful because he lets the other talk and he is actively listening, he is listening to learn #hitter #onward

Theo’s got such a good energy man I don’t think he gets enough credit.

Light is so powerful. I remember camping in the woods and walking back to my campsite at night. I turned my headlamp off for a second and I was surrounded in darkness. I turned it on again and it brightened up everything around me. It was more than enough for me to find my way, all from that little headlamp that must’ve been about an inch in diameter. There’s an abundance of darkness all around us. It’s amazing to see how just a small amount of light can be enough to find your way. Even just a little tiny light can be enough to stay on track.

The chemistry between these two is insane. Never would have guessed.

“And squirrels drew a pentagram”

Good shit. You gotta get this guy back on, he's great

JP: "The holy grail is the cup that held Christ's blood or he drank from during the last supper or something." Theo: "Yeah with Indiana Jones!" JP: "Exactly"

You know damn well when JP said "it's Satan's Dictum" that it took EVERYTHING in Theos life force not to laugh or crack a joke 😂👏👏👏

Every single human being deserves to hear and understand that the light always outshines the darkness.

In the ending of True Detective season 1, Rust says - "The light is winning" Everyone here suffering and things not going the way they should or are in their own dark place. The light is winning guys, stay strong. Do not give up.

Jordan Peterson is such a good dude and I was happy Theo had him on man, such a great segment. As far as "Darkness" goes just look at how nasty people were to Mr. Peterson when he had his health condition. The man's wife sits withering away from cancer, nearly dead and he was trying to hold it all down for his lectures, interviews, books (its his career after all..) And so a Dr. had him on Xanax which was having an adverse reaction on him & resulted in making him MORE anxious and ill feeling..this nearly destroyed the man! So instead of people being supportive or at least maybe trying to find the truth, they hop on social media and their self centered blogs etc calling the man a "drug addict" and loser, failure among other really nasty things. That alone shows you just how dark and lost so many ppl are...to attack Mr. Peterson, a man who has helped literally MILLIONS of people around the world, with such baseless and false claims should tell us all about those living around us. Im glad he's back. Ignore the hate Theo and Jordan!

“Naive people aren’t better than people who are looking at the darkness” ❤️👁🌞

Keeping that “inner beast” placated and quiet is prioritized number one for me. Because when it’s awake, oh mercy heavens is it fun, but it’s simultaneously makin a mess that sometimes cannot be cleaned up or, best case, is very difficult to clean up. I swear it’s like Smaug is sleeping in my head sometimes. LOTS of meditation, seeking inner peace and NO BOOZE have proven to be quite the effective sedative.

This episode in particular - and I don't say this bullshit lightly - legitimately changed my fucking life. Fuck. Thank you for this, brother.

he’s not wrong, conversations like this, music that relates to u heavily, all is real proof that people are trying to steer u and themselves from the dark

At 2:47 I find Jordan's comment very interesting as I feel he unintentionally confirms Roman's 5:20 Where sin abounds grace much more abounds

“I’ve looked at the darkest things I could find and some of them I’ve barely recovered from”.....damn....that was a crazy statement.

“You’re like Neil Armstrong of the the dark moon”

"That which you most need to find, will be found where you least want to look" - Carl Jung Wow

Can we keep this Podcast pair up and call it : Theo and the Brain, they could equally keep each other balanced

"Like the widest river Like the brightest morn There is hope where you can’t see it There is a light after the storm"

I dont get the people who attack Peterson "the man", rather than his ideas. Its like finding out that a knight in suit and armor is actually a man with red blood underneath, so you no longer consider him a hero. Anyone of us can become dependent on a drug which a doctor that you trust has given you for years. Im actually proud he didn't just lie and cover up his issues like the hollywood world often does.

I totally agree with this. I had a heart attack 5 years ago. The lows I have gone are indescribable but the light I saw during my heart attack left me with an awareness that what is beyond is so real. I talk about it and even my own words sound so deep and sad. But its also amazing beyond words. I think it is the pull between the two worlds. It breaks my heart to look beyond, I am so attached to those here and chose not to leave. But Oh my God! There is so much beyond this world. I can't really talk about it without crying. For the deepest low, there is that much highest high.

I love that Jordan is so intelligent and creative with his intellectual escapades but he still has a heart at the end of the day.

This is the happiest I've ever seen Jordan and I've spent so many hours watching him. I hope they reunite soon cause my man is not doin well

Who else feels like Jordan should pay another visit? o/

"And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" John 1:5

I could just listen to this dude talk all day. A true genius. His knowledge and his vocabulary is amazing

I wanted to kill myself so bad, I really really wanted to die, and then I thought, ok, before I do that I should see what it feels like to not exist. I would sit in utter darkness, utter silence, eyes closed, no thoughts, and imagine I didn't exist. The first think that happened is I realized that friends and relatives cry etc, but then they get on with their lives, the second thing, all those places I wanted to visit, all those things I wanted to learn, they never happen. And then in that dark dark place the light came, the light of solitude and peace, its a speck of light at the start but then it grows to be blinding white, all encompassing the mind with the feeling of inner warmth.

Jordan Peterson is the Yoda of humans.

This conversation reminds me of the heart of darkness. Once you lose fear of consequences you’ll become your basic self. Good and evil are matters of opinion but being decent is the toughest construct to form in yourself

The reason I love Theo Von is because his brain naturally goes to hilarious places. He is talking about someone who killed someone and called them a Slytherin lmao

Theo and Jordan's humor are unexpectedly compatible

Get well soon Doc, and come back for another podcast, this is one of his best talks on RU-vid

Jordan is amazing!! "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John ch 1

Wow this is one of my favorite bits of a conversation I think I've ever heard so much power and truth in the words, the back and fourth is very entertaining and enlightening. So glad that two of my favorite people to watch and listen got together and manifested this gem of a conversation. Incredible, thank you Theo thank you Jordan I have so much love and respect for the two of you, what a treat this was.

Love you Theo! And Nick! And whoever else puts these clips up! :) That was a great interview.

“You’re like the Neil Armstrong of the dark moon”😂😂😂😂😂 Theo is the funniest off the top guy alive

“It’s not like there’s no pleasure in mayhem and destruction” . I love that .

Two of my favorite people on earth right now

This is one if the all time greatest conversations between two geniuses.

There is a helluva span between Theo and Jordan. Theo did a helluva span. Gives a lot of us hope. I think that's what we appreciate about him.

To me this sounds very genuine to his experience. JP has been through dark things and they had miraculous outcomes. I genuinely wonder if he’d still be saying exactly this if say, his wife had died, he hadn’t been able to get off those horrible meds successfully, his daughter never recovered.

You should invite him back on Theo. This is the kind of conversation we want with JP, not that times bullshit. Reach out to his daughter!

I knew a guy who killed someone and he said it Haunts him every day.

Peterson out here preaching John chapter 1! Love it.

Man This conversation gives that Chris Farley portrait a whole new look

This was a good episode, and really gave me a deeper insight to Theo on a spiritual level as he ponders the things that trouble my mind. Onward

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

The conversation started with the most awkward conversation starter--and ended incredibly. Wow... Just genius...

“You’re like Neil Armstrong of the dark moon” Brilliantly spoken.

I'm soon 3 months sober from alcohol ( been alcoholic for 11 years ) and 2 weeks off Xanax ( i used between 10 & 20mg a day ) and my addictions had led me to seek for pure Evil and i think that those things that i saw are still traumatizing me in my sub-conscious mind... I want to do good, but its like my brain is wired to hate and being mean! Since it's legal here in Canada, i'm still smoking weed, simply because it's making me more sensitive and aware of my tought patterns...I would like to know if people feel the same about weed ? Oh and i have 3 diagnostics of mental health disorders which are ADD, General anxiety disorder and limit personality disorder...I just hope that i will find the path towards the light one day !

I’m just dying man so grateful for dudes like these

This is a great talk. What an oddball yet perfect match between Theo and Jordan.......The light is lighter than the dark is dark. But you have to work at it. It doesn't just happen on its own. You have to embrace the light. You have to open yourself up to the light. And you have to do that work which is in line with the light.

Super nice to see the good doctor be able to talk about these topics with a bit of a light heart about these things.

Only when i started to read obssesively about serial killers and true crime, that i understood the real value of the happy moments i experienced with my family. So i totally get Dr. Peterson's point, light is much bigger than darkness!

Hidden gem of a video on RU-vid

that painting of Chris Farley is such a nice tribute to him. warms my heart

This is on my fav of all time pod cast...great dynamic to these two individuals who's only common denominator is a good heart.

def going to be watching this whole cast tonight and thats that.

You've been in there dark arts man. 'Yeah, that and the Clinical Practice'

Glad to see Jordan Peterson; I am assuming, recovered from his recent health problems. He's a good human.

3:12 “The light is brighter than the dark is dark and that’s something man“. No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. - Luke 11:33
