How to Think and How to Speak | Jordan Peterson and Lex Fridman 

Can you please simplify it for me.

This is a hard but necessary slap in the face of people who choose escapism (I'm one of these people). Jordan Peterson is absolutely right...

@@iAdilZaheer You can only overcome your fears by facing them head-on.

@@iAdilZaheer get comfortable with being uncomfortable

Heads need not explode, that called Exposure therapy. Out.

Glad to see straight talk from real men. No troons that everyone seems to love these days. We can go back to when the workd made sense, we just need to be strong.

How did that work out for Bowie? Last I checked he is dead

Are you serious

@@edscmidt5193 yes

@@mikhailkan2726 I don’t get it, there is such better stuff out there

@@edscmidt5193 what can I say? to each his own. It's like arguing which TV series is better. JP's narrative about meaning of life and depression/distress is very close to the main theme of 'House M.D.' And it is one of my favorite TV shows. Although I came out of depression on my own, it would be much easier if I'd have watched it sooner. Because I came to the same conclusions that were in the show, but through tough practical personal experience. But I don't get 'Game of Thrones', and don't like it. Despite millions of fans and a huge hype. Although I watched the very first episode and the last one. Of course, can't say it's stupid. Actually it has maybe the same idea as JP's or House's, but from different angle

You have a sheltered life or very low expectations. Both these guys are fools. So sad you appreciated this bs talk.

I'm glad you asked the imaginary sky daddy to bless this fool

​@@jamesmoran7511:we are all on the same journey of meaning discovery.Goodluck on yours.

Silence and stillness.thats where you find God and peace.

Why speak of mass murders and not little ants or blades of grass or small seeds being murdered. You see, the mind can not grasp to majesty of life and death. It put’s everything in boxes. But the truth is. Even the innocent must be sacrificed to the highest good. So what is the highest good? Evolution.

GOD

The frame is from an 'individual' perspective. What he is actually saying is how you can frame your own suffering when you are considering yourself to be innocent. See the application. Transformation is individualistic.

It's highest good, not cause. So your presuppositions for mass murderers are nulled by the statement.

It essentially means that if you understand how you perceive the world around you, it becomes easier to approach and handle any situation. It implies that life can be seen as a game and that you can control and master the rules of the game if you gain the right knowledge and understanding.

Free will is an illusion

What if the free will in itself isn’t free. Even if there was few will, if you were given the same choice given the same circumstances, you would make the same choice. So what’s free about that

@@ryanbowen9718 If someone in the matrix already knows what your going to do before you make it how can we truly be free? There is no free will.

To each their own

Yes he’s not perfect and this is a very nebulous comment.... lol

I honestly don't understand what you are talking about? Could you facilitate?

I’m an alcoholic and sober for 4 years and my doctor for it is an alcoholic and sober for a lot longer. I think he is way better at his job because of it. However jp is not like that at all and it’s getting pathetic, he isn’t saying anything worth while, he doesn’t make you think unless you just started thinking

@@edscmidt5193 JP struggles most of his life with deep depression. His relatives had an issue with depression too, I think one of them even comitted suicide. JP's wife survived cancer and still struggles with her health. His daughter had severe autoimmune dicease from childhood, and got better despite official medicine. JP himself struggled in recent years with barbiturates. I had deep depression in my life, so I can attest that the man knows something in that area. And that's not including the facts that he was a clinical psychologist for decades, and studied Soviet and Nazi history a lot. More over, multiple not the most stupid people consider him as bright, although dark, intellectual. I don't agree with him on everything, but he definitely has some points

True!

Every steam player ever

Lex and Jordan are Authenticity Seekers 100%❤

To me it feels like desperately seeking for a reason not to just right-off humans as a lost cause. I've been there myself, and even thinking this sort of question is such a load of anxiety that no one really needs. We humans do many wonderful things like, create great works of art, or love with a passion and intensity that defines description. But we also do terrible, evil and immoral things as well, like waging war on an entire country of innocent victims under false pretenses, killing millions and displacing still more millions. We can be incredibly callous, selfish, and self-centered beings, and this impulse to be so doggedly selfish is probably the closest thing to the "root cause" of so much evil done by humans.

That's a laughable statement. What exactly did it break down. Sounded like two fools to me.

@@jamesmoran7511probably too ignorant and stupid for you. Might I recommend a no brainer videos?

@@CoachJJ I feel like having some purpose has helped me to get past challenges without crumbling, also looking at these challenges as just part of the adventure of life

@@MadAtGasCar Love that approach, motivation and perspective!

@@CoachJJ yep balance in all things is key

Haha yeah first time i remember earing Alan Watts my tough was the guy is the opposite of Jordan Petterson, i sometimes wonder who i should litsen to in life. Start chancing my life and try scarry goals like do stand up/ start an interview podcast. Or should i accept its a reason alot of people dont do al there goals and i should just start working on being more positive and present in current life.

@@oskarnoak391 I’ve thought about this a lot as well and where I stand currently is kind of in the middle. I personally don’t think it’s a great idea to fully commit to one “philosophy” but I think it’s instead better to make use of many. I think Watts has valid ideas for life and so does Peterson. However, I would say taking a bit more of a balanced approach is better. I have taken a lot of advice from Peterson about finding meaning and sort of just day to day things to do to improve how you feel but also will always maintain the Watts ideas of looking at the absolute beauty of life and taking every moment, trying to enjoy this ride. Also I highly recommend doing things that are difficult/ new but will in the long run make you a better person, just keep some comfort in your life too don’t go all the way off the map. Hope this helps.

@@MadAtGasCar That was a nice respons, gave me a warm feeling . Thanx man
