Jordan Peterson: 3 Habits You Should Avoid At All Costs 

Sebastian Elytron totally read that in his voice

Sebastian Elytron it’s not a little grim.... it’s a lot grim..... as grim as it gets!!

I mean roughly speaking, depends what you mean by a road. Right ! (with a finger in the air) When you see a road, (putting both hands in parallel) you don't see a road, right, you see a crossing place.

LOL

well, it depends what you mean by cross! do you intend to betray the road? or merely to traverse it. that's why jesus slayed the dragon

That's not the no. 1 rule

That's rule no. 2 I think lol

@Caroline W ...I know I was talking about rule 2...

rule no. 1 is : do not talk about rule 1

Love your neighbour as yourself

I FELT THAT

Uh uh 😐 lol

How are you bro? I just finished with the cleaning..... i hope you succeeded also! ;)

In process of cleaning sir!

Well thats very wise of you, I would do the same. Self respect comes first than anything.

Jay L are you ok

@Natasel hahahhahahhah

Same here :D

Jay L yo what?

Damn. That's a good one. And all about empathy, which is so vital to relationships of all kinds, especially intimate ones.

That’s really good.

Brilliant.

@Channel34 Good question! It's hard to say because I don't think she was even aware of it, but I think it had something to do with our "on again, off again" status. If your friend is making a mistake, then tell him, but be sure the "help" is motivated by genuine concern and not just bullying. ;)

Proud of you man. Hope you're doing good!

@@fried2styles Proud of you. Was in the same position, but then she got pregnant.... So what you managed to do in a simple decision i'll never be able to, because we'll always need contact to some extent in order to care for our son. :)

Iv been telling that to people hut couldn't frame it probably but you did it

Thor Loki because we don’t know how to think as good as he can. i would be in a ditch if it weren’t for his teachings man

To confuse the population so that the lobster-man uprising can begin!

Yes! And, unfortunately, public schools, colleges, and universities have been teaching students "what" to think since the 1980s.

That's exactly why I love JP so insanely much. Absolutely beautiful how he teaches.

Masculine Man Well said. Keep it up too, man.

Masculine Man I completely agree channels like this one really inspire me to do something like this

Charlie and his channel are AWESOME!!! He should do one on Jason Momoa.

@masculine man Dont kid yourself. Everyone copies everyone, including 'Charisma On command'. Its normal though, i wouldnt even use the word 'Copying' rather 're-packaging', such as C on C has just done with Petersons lectures and youtube material.

I think Ned Stark's head might take a bit of issue with the whole "telling the truth inevitably leads to good" axiom... Sometimes, especially in the face of great corruption or tyranny, clandestine operations are the only way to effect positive change.. that's why we have spies.

thanks for the actual quote :)

wow that's a great quote. so simple but so true. thanks for sharing. is it from some of his books or is it just something that he said?

Everyone wants to Change the world but nobody wants to Change the toilet paper.

Good luck getting everyone in the word to do anything. Just not possible, sorry.

I get many peoples to hate me for telling the true

@@lonewolf-oc9vr I read this statistic once that said most people lie to avoid getting into trouble. Sounds about right lol

@@lonewolf-oc9vr telling the truth can also mean facing the truth.

The law of life 😘

total egoism. broken people can help each other. look at the comment section here.

@@tartanhandbag You'll have to elaborate on that.

@@tyskbulle not to knock your MJ quote here, this is more for the "you can't help others until you've helped yourself" crowd, which i appreciate isn't directly implied by starting with the man in the mirror. my point is that this train of thought can lead people to total egoism; a selfishness that puts the focus on your own individuality rather than the way we interact and create a community. in a sentence what i mean is, *"dont feel like you have to stay in front of the mirror until you're perfect before you go out and try and help the world"*, because if we do that, we'll create a world of narcissists, staring at our own reflections waiting for perfection while the world burns. Even if we were to "perfect ourselves" first, it may have been so long since our initial struggle we may not be able to relate to it any more, making us worse at helping others. this is a common problem for professors teaching undergrad classes; it's been so long they don't understand how anyone could be struggling with such simple ABC level stuff, making them, in that scenario, poor educators. alternatively, it's often "broken" people who can help each other the best, because they relate the most, like the comments sections of self-help videos, or in other similar forums, such as support groups.

X4rrr You emphasize the importance of community and brotherhood more than most. Some have been put off from that idea because they try to help others but it backfires

This is a great quote.

This is going to be a gargantuan task and one that may be painful.

Jordan Peterson may be possessing you.

I'm possessed by the idea that feminism is everywhere, attacking me for being male.

dude, try writing some poetry if you want to make shadows appear! my own ideas came in by the boatload, but because i started with being inspired by things perceived to be of the light, i came to see that, if i just write, about this darkness over here, within me, then i can get to know it, and it sounded scary at first but, art in this form, will show you what you really think of youeself., it will help you get past your perceptions of your supeficial self but, you have to be aware though, that art invites criticism by its very nature.... no more words on this, you figure it out!

@@introgauge hey, thats a helluvan idea!

#3 is perhaps the most difficult one to achieve.

@@GottfriedLeibnizYT ive done all these. Unfortunately i waited and now i have crippling anxiety

And clean your damn room

In other words, don't be like trump.

Isn't it hypocritical, that JP tells lies, while telling others to tell the truth? JP needs to do more research, before he debates about something.

The 2 statements seem barely related except the fact that they are about integrity. It seems like you're attempting to raise Bob Marley to Jordan Petersons level when that's not the case.

That’s rich coming from Bob. He had one wife yet nine children by different women. Was his wife ‘positively affected’ by his philandering?

I feel like Marley would have been a much better example to use for this video ironically enough lmao

@@bryantav6843 what do you mean that's not the case? What are you trying to say? My intent was simply to put up two good quotes that are meaningful despite whoever said them or the qualities of the person that said them

@@DanBrown96 no one is perfect don't you know? Music by Bob Marley and the Wailers has enriched the lives of millions of people. Bob is a legend. What have you ever done with your life that's so great? You never made a mistake in your life huh?

2. carefully telling the truth, you HAVE TO BE "Careful" about the truth or even how to tell it.

Thank you

@@Vertutame Yeah.... there is a danger of being possessed by the idea of truth... Of course, you can be a moron and crave having the truth or being right, but then you can be more sophisticated about it and while knowing that you can never "be right", you can still be identified and possessed by getting things right and center all your life around it, which is probably motivated by fear of being wrong (thats the shadow part here) and that can prevent you from acting and its also pretty tough on your relationships, especially if youre smart.

@@DarkHound9999 I struggle with the "telling the truth" idea, as you don't really know the truth... what you have is an understanding of what you percive as reallity, which is limited by your knowledge and experience and intelligence, and your truth may not be the real truth. I find relief in saying "from my point of view, what I see is" and then describe my truth. This way I start a discussion, share ideas about what I know, and become more receptive to feedback I may not know. We all live in our own perseption of the world, our own delusion

@@DarkHound9999 if I need to be honest, the truth can be good or bad, if we put in context, truths that are dangerous and would cause incredible danger to society as a whole, should be kept, there are some moments when truths may benefit everyone but there will be moments where the truth is best kept hidden like an information hazard.

Don’t be a crawdad

Jordan Peterson is awesome. I love how he drew that comparison and then that was all that Cathy could pull from that line of thought XD. Made me crack up. Maybe Jordan should make a shirt that says, "Top Lobster" XD

So you're saying that we should be a strawman?

Oh yeah yeah

Todd Starbuck such a motivator. JP is a good parent you want to live up to his ideal of you.

Yeah to me he's very eloquent and sounds smart but also lacks humility and kind of sounds like an apathetic asshole. He's also quite right wing (believes in traditional gender roles and stuff like that), which can put off a lot of people even more.

Why can't you stomach it?

@@sevsthepokey Dude, I don't know. I honestly don't have any idea what this guy thinks about any subject because I just find him repellent. To me he's anti-charismatic. He's charm Kryptonite. I just instantly experience his countenance as smug and arrogant, which I always read as betraying some level of deep personal insecurity or at least social dysfunction. Just don't like him, though I guess plenty of others do. To each his/her own.

@@cwbrooks5329 I feel the same and I think it is linked to my deep dislike of narcissists. He has some good points but he acts like when he invented it when it is distilled from old philosophy.

@@Maculazy Ha. Yeah, he reeks of narcissism. Agreed, narcissists are a hot button for me as well. I know you're supposed to feel sorry for them, but the best I can manage is to walk away. Which I guess is what I'm doing when I pull the plug on this guy.

And what exactly does that achieve? Assuming you dont stand straight to begin with.

That's possibly the dumbest thinking to take away from Peterson.

Did you guys read the book??

A terrible advice from the martial arts point of view) Or any effecient body mechanics, for that matter. Of course that's exactly the reason why Jordan suggests it ;)

@@Orimthekeyacolite Yeah, it's known that keeping the back too straight is an unnatural position. Most of us are very slightly hunched as that takes pressure from the back.

Wow. That's crazy. Kind of sad - the relationship between him and his mother. Interesting. But good for you!

@Kurt E. Clothier That is, in my opinion, a disgusting perversion of the parent-child relationship. An extreme failure as a parent. Everyday I struggle to learn how to be a better mom and support my husband in becoming a better father. I will make a lot of mistakes on this journey. But what I won't do is sacrifice my children on the altar of convenience. But, I believe in God. I believe that children are the most amazing, wonderful gift any person could receive. I believe that God intended for parents to guide, protect and cultivate the hearts and souls of their children. And I believe we will have to answer for how we executed that mission.

Love it. We had a guy at work , 2 levels of management above me, strong arming a bunch of people around. JP inspired me to speak the truth with confidence. I escalated all the way up to the CEO. Once I did that , lots of people followed whom he had been bossing around. He ended up getting fired and the company is so much the better. And I'm on a first name basis with senior management now. He's so right that saying the truth - in the right way at the right time - eventually will have the best outcome.

Didn’t expect to see an NF quote here... Not gonna complain tho

It requires acknowledgement that you are not living up who you know you can be.

You should try cleaning my room

Absolute honesty is like absolute pacifism - it's a beautiful ideal but impractical. Just as if the USA had unilaterally disarmed it would have been invaded by the USSR, telling the truth in all situations will make life hard for you.

Yeah Jordan seems to have trouble with that one.

@@oliverford5367 the best lies are the ones that are believeable not lies that are complete lies. So truth is still the best option also you don't have to say everything how much truth you tell is up to you just be silent instead of lying.

well that is just absurd, you must want to return to the 1950s where everything for blacks and women and gays and everyone not white male were a true hell on earth(sarcastically)

Jeffrey Smith Phew, at first I got worried thinking you were being serious.

iT DIDN'T WORK IN THE BEGINNING OF TIME. Ref to Bhagavad Gita. Only work the way the employer treats the employee.: (1) Never pay the employee up front. (2) Never pay what they deserve. (3) Never ever trust the employee. If you apply these rules any where any time you are a winner.

nate m That’s not accurate as far as I can tell. If you don’t pay your employees what they deserve they go on strike or leave to another company.

4) clean your room

Wrong. You need to be humble to become selfless.

Fixing yourself before fixing world isn't selfish. If you wouldn't do it that way, you would just be hypocrite...

What he meant is that you should look out for yourself first, so you're in a position to look out for others, like trying to get on stable ground first before you pull someone else up. If you don't, you'll just pull yourself down.

The problem with the way this claim is made, whether it is by Peterson or by other ultra-conservatives, is that it's always strongly tied to the subjective opinions of the person making it. "Tidy your room" might seem like an acceptable standard, ethically benign and good advice. Yet appearances are often deceiving. The way it is used to imply that a person's ability to impose order on his surroundings is directly tied to his worth and intelligence is a standard that is not only ethically bankrupt, but also divorced from reality. Even putting aside the numerous studies that suggest a correlation between a chaotic mind and intellectual potential, simply by looking at the examples of history anyone would realize that this standard would lead a society to dismiss Einstein (which the fascist Nazi regime that valued obedience and absolute order did, losing one of their most valuable assets), Isaac Newton (arguably the greatest mind in recorded history) and many more other great artists, scientists and even politicians. Again I have to stress that this is not really about whether we should judge someone by his willingness to tidy his personal space, but about the dangers of idealizing order and structure to the point that one places it above the ideals of liberty and justice, something that I have regularly observed Peterson doing. Behind his neo-conservative rhetoric there is a darker shade of the colors he sports. He often references freedom of speech and yet his rhetoric routinely strays to denunciation of attempts to change society be means of conversation and a great willingness to dismiss people rather than their opinions. Another point one will notice on closer inspection is that he overuses "arguments from authority", or arguments that do not mainly rely on logical consistency but rather the arbitration of a particular individual or institution. Not to say that he does not have a certain mastery of logical arguments, but rather, that he seems to, perhaps without full awareness, dispense with that critical pattern of thought when asserting certain values (e.g. every single damn time he uses the term "traditional"). All these points combine to the rather chilling suggestion, that beyond conservationism, the ideals he champions are deeply authoritarian. That is not to say that he is necessarily unintelligent, or incapable, or that all his suggestions are invalid. The real problem is that besides these qualities his dogmatic point of view and attachment to the ideas he has been raised with seem to undermine those values and drive him to a severely harmful political movement. [Based on his opinions on child rearing and his references to his family and early life; he probably had a strict childhood that effectively indoctrinated him into his core ideas, those being religious, political and even rational.]

At this point I would like to add that the idea of people not deserving to voice political concerns until they conform with a societal norm is founded on the base ideology of fascism, particularly that of the '30's and Hirohito Japan.

Siddharth congratulations man :) I just got done in the gym and am in he shower actually. That’s awesome though keep it up. I’m proud of you, whoever you are lol

Keep it up 💪

Cereal Killer the traits, not the person... Right?

I believe the point of the video is, that you can not eliminate them, but you have to accept/integrate them

ElBosso However, my problem is lying. I can't integrate that into my life anymore.

Integrate the fact that it's your desire to lie and understand your shadow. Why do you lie? Tell the truth because it's not easy but then don't ignore that you are a liar. Knowing your shadow is important.

ArdentRage I like boasting about things that I don't have. I think it's about time for a reality check. I'm piss poor, but it isn't a crime. I will work hard to achieve success or I will die trying.

Fabuleux Which is somewhat sad to be honest

How? Everything logical he says is common sense. When he tries to be specific and unique he talks bullshit.

Sprax Peterson explains the reasons why the things we've known for so long to be true is actually true.

mood

Piotr Żwirowski How does spewing word salad make someone more precise in speech? This guy can give great lectures but when he's put in a debate setting he just becomes Christian Deepak Choprah.

That is being precise, not being easy to comprehend, but being professional and precise. Tell me what could be misinterpreted in this statement: “The state’s proper functioning is dependant on the proper functioning of the individual” And what could be misinterpreted in this statement: “A person is more important than the country”

They could mean the same, but they could mean two very different things, depending on the interpretation of the second

In that case yes, watch his talk with Dillahunty though and you'll have to admit that he is just spinning around questions by being vague instead of precise.

Ok will check it out

Daisy how so?

Mine could get a quick cleanup right now. Thanks for reminding me!

Susboii 007 not really. If you leave it for long enough you will drown in the disarray of your room. Once you are no more there is no further need of cleaning up, is there?

Totally agree

A_little_Me Yeah , my 74y/o mum is a hoarder and my sister and me will have our work cut out for us when she passes away .I'm talking different dump trucks , it's just insane .

Exactly.

biological waste If I’m not mistaken, he was quoting Hermann Hesse.

@Jay L You good, G?

As a young adult, I was in that place of keeping my mouth shut. It was a constant struggle attempting to be polite but knowing I was weak. Finally, I got it through my head that "diplomatically" telling the truth turned out better than not saying anything. Eventually, people took my newfound assertiveness as "strong-willed." Guess what? I never lost any sleep over stating the facts.

We teach people how to treat us!

That has not been my experience at all.

@@OfftoShambala not mine either... Sadly I learned you don't need to always tell the truth only after my 30's. If lies only hurt yourself and give you feeling of guilt, but the truth can hurt other people around you - you may think of accepting the sacrifice and hold your truth for yourself for the rest of your life...

If you call pandering to incels of all people "inspiring."

It's advice you can find in any self help book written before 1950.

Nverdis, what do you mean by pandering to incels?

Fangs1978 yeah he's a professor in psychology and has experience as a clinical psychologist, but he's just copying old self help books right? It's not like this is his main expertise. It's not like he's a well cited academic. It's not like he's well respected in the psychological community, right? Oh wait...

I agree, but it doesn't have to be completely original advice to be applicable. It could be good, old advice communicated in a way that motivates... not that *everything* he says is good advice though. ;)

Haha, I WISH!

Haha we would all defend COC and most people would see the truth, so just like with Peterson's hit pieces it would only make COC stronger!!!

If they did, I wonder how many thousands of subs you'd get overnight- Peterson seems to get at least 10K every time....

This is my favorite thing I've read all day!

David Big, ants are very cool. Lifting over ten times their own body weight like it’s nothing. They’re pure strength.

Lol this random but I love it bugs are cool😂😂😂

Probably a she.

he is. he really is.

How? He has degrees and stuff and has never said anything smarter than a random guy in a bar. He is almost a stereotype of what stupid people think a smart person sounds like.

Jordan Peterson is a car salesman, he's slick. He's repackaging and reselling a bunch of already proven concepts from other self help people. As for his "activism" for free speech and fighting bill c-16 he's acting as if this was the tipping point, that the next day people would be arrested for accidentally misgendering people. Even thought his Provence had this rule on the books for over 5 years. And this was it just being passed Federally in Canada. See, the law is just to add "intentional misgendering" into the language of hate speech, so if you employ someone who is trans, and they say "please refer to me as female" and they are seeing a therapist, and having to live for a few years as the gender before they can start talking about surgery. And you as their employer say "nope, I'm going to call you by your born name, and I'm going to call you butch and manly and mr big-cock" in an effort to bully the person out of their job, to make this as illegal as firing someone because you found out that they were gay. What JP paints is a situation where someone is working in a store and someone walks in looking androgynous, and because you didn't refer to them as Zim when you first introduced yourself to them, that you'd going to be taken in handcuffs to a Gulag. That is just not what the bill, or the existing legislation in his region dictated. It is specifically for situations where someone is being harassed using their old name and gender. The same thing happens with landlords that want to get rid of their trans-tenants, they start bombarding them with letters in their birth name. It's about expanding the existing protections that already exist to cover another group of people. The only people who should ever be worried about this law, are bigots who want to bully and harass trans folk. And while I can be intellectually honest enough to say that I actually believe that people who hate trans people, should still have the right to free speech. Mine is purely a consequential reasoning, because the bigots opening their mouths and being harassers and bullies put a target on themselves. The rest of the good people society won't have anything to do with them, they will boycott their businesses and refuse to rent from them. Society shouldn't need the intervention of the state. That the best disinfectant is daylight, and by making a law to force bigots underground you push them into quiet corners where they can pas as regular good people of society. But even that I doubt from time to time, as I'm reminded how powerful segregation was, that it certainly required intervention to bring in the civil rights act. Is the civil rights movement enough or does it need further legislation like bill c-16 to keep the tide moving towards a more inclusive society?

Dreadnaught1985 hey man this was a super interesting read. Do you have a blog or something?

Unfortunately you still need to achieve certain level of maturity to notice it. He cant fix people who never experienced any difficulties in their lifes (read social activists)

The only way to deal with a narcissist is to go away from them. Long term. Even professionals say that. They don’t want help or to change, so take care of yourself.

If you opt to go to podcast you'll want to pay attention to how much of your content is 'audio' or 'audio/visual' based. I mention this as the main time I listen to my podcasts is either when I'm driving or cooking; both of which my eyes and hands are doing something other than looking at my phone. Not a deal breaker by any means; just something to keep in mind on how people will consume the content.

I'm saying do we know for sure @xal

Hahaha telling the truth is different than having no filter, but I feel you on that. Sometimes it’s better to wait until a different moment to tell the truth, or to figure out how to say it the best way. It’s important to do it, but it’s important to get timing and delivery as good as you can too -not just blurt things out all the time. Lol
