Jordan Peterson Q&A at Cambridge's Caius College 

@@kaivogel253 what u wrote is BS, and lets leave it at that.

@@kaivogel253 I’m guessing you’re a bot

It was really lovely. All the best in life.

This "Kai" thing is precisely who Peterson is referring to as counter productive to all that is good for a civilization to carry on.

@@kaivogel253 "many many things" you sound as articulate as Donald Trump but nowhere near as funny

So beautifully said...❤

Inspirational!

@@roundtabledetails3307 shutup karen

Remember that love is a mere obtainment ...from there all things are possible...Wisdom without love can and is dangerous...The old saying of a ''wiseguy'' is that very thing..being wise without love creates a tyrant.

6:18 is great too.. wish he was my therapist, cant imagine how expensive he is 😂

I choked up too listening to his concluding remarks

@@josephgold208 sorry but I think you're wrong, he didn't continue because he was clearly choked up by that simple but unsaid thought "wouldn't it be amazing if everyone's actions were guided by love and thier words guided by truth" - because this simple phrase is what Jordan has been striving for for most of his life, and now in recent years striving to get that message out to others before it's too late.

My next tattoo right here

Excellent observation.

Well said I appreciate your comment, it made me think more deeply about Jordan Peterson if that was even possible LOL

Peterson preserves and honors such intellectual contributions as much as a sausage-maker preserves and honors their ingredients.

@@futurememories1660 If it still taste good, he must have succeeded! As horrific as the process of sausage making may be,.. we still choose to eat it because it's enjoyable.

@@davidhunt7427 And therein lies the problem.

he's so smart. the first question & answer.... he should work in government, as an advisor.

@@johnd3124 I respect Dr. Peterson so much, but there is no shot in hell any government would take him. He is too wise, and arguably too critical

It’s interesting because I felt a bit conflicted lately about spending too much time listening to his lectures. I mean, I could use the stimulation intellectually speaking. Just feel a bit troubled about being yet another person placing him on a pedestal. Getting swept up with everyone else singing his praises sorta thing. Albeit I’m sure he worked tirelessly for the adulation he receives. I don’t have any real reason to be hypercritical of JP. In some ways I feel as though I may diminish the ability of others I listen to consequently creating fuel for rivalry. Leading to jealousy and a culture of combative comparative rhetoric. Essentially, I’m here for me and not because of some inadequacy at another podcast.

@@the2ndcoming135 One can appreciate JP's remarkable intellectual output while recognising some of its limitations. He attempts to extricate us from the confusion that reigns in the Western world today due to the materialistic ideology of the left that unduly dominates its cultural landscape.

@@rareword yeah, I noticed that. Part of the reason why I hang around, yet limit my interaction in the comments. I have my own personal criticisms along the same lines. I would imagine that most of us here, from what I’ve observed through comments, is because we’re mostly in agreement with Dr. Peterson. To whatever degree or extent we’ve aligned ourselves with his train of thought. It’s come to my attention that this is one of the few podcasts of which there isn’t an excessive amount of focus on the back and forth of clashing ideas or ideology.

A very true quote. I’ve found that even when I tell a small lie for the sake of keeping the peace, it feels like a piece of myself has crumbled away. It’s an awful feeling.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When a slave commits a sin, a black spot appears on his heart. But if he give it up, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart will be cleansed, but if he repeats it, (the blackness) will increase until it overwhelms his heart.

I wholly agree with you. He is simply amazing.

@@roundtabledetails3307 keep quiet karen

Absolutely!

Agree wholeheartedly 💜

@@roundtabledetails3307 yep. Unlike you.

This is 5 months old too.

I was thinking the same thing

@@kaivogel253 Based on your comments, I have realized: -You are stupid. -You have high time preference; you waste 10x more time than I have on this comment every day, debating in vain of your ideas. -If your ideas were good, you would start a blog or a RU-vid channel on your own, instead of leeching off a channel with millions of subscribers -If this is an elaborate troll it has satisfied others more than yourself, as your morale has been crushed by other commenters debating you, whether you admit it or not. After the smoke clears, it is others who have moved on, laughing at your absurd troll idea, while your committed troll has done nothing good for anyone, even yourself, as others have derived more pleasure from mocking you, and this pleasure is greater than yours, as it yours comes from nowhere of integrity. Your motives: -Are not to inform or enlighten anyone of your ideas, not engage in honest debate -You try to bait people into arguments (such as these) and once people reject your fallacious premises you use clown foolery to take heat off, and dance around counterarguments instead of confronting them (because you can't) -You are a troll and you gain happiness with a (false) feeling of moral superiority over others with more intellect and testosterone than you. My predictions: -You will childishly claim victory in this argument -Even if you "really" won the argument because your idea is some groundbreaking genius, you will never implement it, and you will die with an even inferior legacy than those who you have "beaten" in an argument. -You will continue only listening to other statist grifters such as yourself, and never leave your religion -You may change and realize how foolish you are, but your intellectual redemption will not be due to critical thinking, but due to the expression of shame that you have delayed hitherto.

and thank all that’s good for that!

@@kaivogel253 Yet you still watch lol

Sad thing is there are governments and parties that think that if you think you too much you are a danger.

@@kehkashanshabeer7026 I don't think so.

I totally agree

Me too thank you

Well he is trying to give (I believe) everyone the tools to happiness. I have always Well sometimes been a good listener. But when he stated just listen it really is that simple I was very happy. It doesn't take much. Yet you do get so much out of it. If a person is willing to share their personal feelings/thoughts with you they obviously respect your opinions. That is such a compliment.

@@mamiluisamia of course they pay him. You don't get to be around important people for free. They pay him or he does it from his pocket as a serve to duty. K imagine it's a bit of both. Pay for his travel and food etc

I wondered this too.

@@stewartanderson6560 hahaha! I hope all the Petersons get to read this! I think they'd get a great kick out of it!

I think partly because he mixes it up every time every talk he gives is different he can't adjust hes different he kind of just goes along in the moment.. That's so much easier to listen to than if you're doing it doing it as a comedy routine and every word is the exact same

He often says his life would not be possible without his wife and children. Both his daughter and wife can tell we hen he's not doing well before he notices it and he relies on it.. There are times where his family tells him "no, you need to dial it back; this is too much". God I'd kill to have such a meaningful life together with my spouse and children

Ironically they knew he was dangerous to the great reset and tried to cancel him by firing him, thrusting him into popularity.

Yes he sure is isn't he, what a beautiful thing in these days. So many so called elites and world leader can't stand it because he doesn't devide us.

@Jay Z Exactly right. If they had just left him alone. He would still be an unknown Canadian professor. By trying to bully and make an example out of him. They created a monster. They do more to hurt their own causes, than anyone who opposes them could ever do.

@@kevinkim7849 To be better equipped to process Peterson allow me to recommend the article: The Intellectual We Deserve by Nathan J. Robinson, the Sam Harris podcast with Peterson: "#62 - WHAT IS TRUE?" and Peterson's debate with Matt Dillahunty on RU-vid. All is a freely available on the web. Sorry RU-vid doesn't seem to let me post links.

@@kevinkim7849 starts around the 1:33 minute mark!

I believe people actually forget to do that out of awe. Thats rellay heppened here.

he is the fire

Good luck, man. You got this.

Wonderful comment. Just remember his point that to become a master, you must be willing to be the fool. Everyone working somewhere had a first day. Even when it’s a new job but one is experienced? Familiarity lends to confidence very quickly. On the second day, there’s basic knowledge and orientation that’s comforting. Route Parking Names of people and things Particulars Location of restroom Lunch routine It’s unbelievable how many things are processed and stored, most of which never have to be learned again. And everyone who works there knows the anticipation and eagerness of being the new person. There’s usually enthusiasm by some who empathize and relief by everyone that more help has come. Just pay attention and know that anxiety is expected for a reason. You care about making a good impression and what others think? GOOD! You should care. They’re significant and this applies to everyone! God bless

Congratulations bro :)

Good luck brother i wish you well on bettering yourself

39 year old here from Beirut, Lebanon. And Thanks to Dr Peterson my life is going on the right track. His reach is for people all over the globe - hope he stays healthy and safe.

@Ben Sasha hang in there man keep the fight up

He is like a father for the fatherless.

I think many young people are still 'foibling' their way through the process of cynicism. Hopefully they save most of that until they are far older.

How can I not love this? Because I know better than you. The rascal is a mercenary monster...using concepts and ideas already thought of by hundreds of others and written into books authored by them (most of them dead now, and ironically most of these dead ones are basically from "The Left" Jordan actively despises!) and palming them off on you gullible fools as "original thinking" of his. Funny how he's made his fortune off of empty headed nitwits on "The Right" in search of answers and "Holy Grails" with out a ghost of a clue as to who's actually right or wrong on whatever is said by anyone.

@PabloMaster great observation! Adds another layer of depth to what was already a compelling show

Because the matter you are referring to has more to with one's character, not one's education. I'm with you, high school graduate, and in my 40s, and it has been divine intervention and decades of failures to finally realize stuff like unhealthy pride, personal responsibility, humility, love and respect, etc...

There's only been 117 billion people to ever exist, unless there are other planets full we don't know about. Just a fact check there sir

Maybe scale back on the trillions. Theres a lot of us buggers, but we don't multiply like insects.

Please stop sucking JBP off so hard, his opinions are contradicted by the life experience of those who disagree with him. All he has is a bunch of anecdotes followed by faulty analysis which is why only layman's think he's profound... His peers think he's somewhat of a joke. Remember, he never got famous for his body of work, he got famous for lying about an anti-discrimination law in Canada.

@@sawyeratkinson he's just adding in the extra dimensions.

@@meandab - You made me laugh out loud...for real!

One of the things I enjoy too. The parlance combined with common sense approaches but with expert knowledge so it isn’t generic, lip service.

When he answered the question about "the soul," I immediately thought of the massive amount of emotion that good music can evoke. Whether a person is religious or atheistic, it pretty hard to deny the existence of something akin to what we call the soul when you listen to an amazing piece of music.

Am most grateful to have found this podcast such amasing guidance and wishing to share as have found it realy helpful just love listening to JP. Wish had come across when I was younger, as my life could have possibly worked out much differently.

Hi there do you have a link for it thanks 🙏

I'm sorry, he cuts up students writing at the 15-minute mark but his writing style is poor and book needed much editing of his long-winded rambles and disjointed approach. I personally find him lacking much concise eloquence in his writing,

people just gotta read a lot a Jung and Nietzsche and love to talk haha

@@kaivogel253 why are you so frustrated, literally all peterson is doing is trying to help people who struggles with their daily life's, i don't see peterson spreading around some propaganda, he is just articulating common sense, and i don't know what agitated you or what triggered you to go around replying to people as well as peterson in demeaning manners, you really are frustrated i see. Have a good day or night my man, you will get there, IN TIME.

If you can quote one sentence that Peterson, who has argued for decades against authoritarianism, has ever said that aligns with fascism, then your absurd statement might hold some water. But of course, you can't.

In the 1970’s we had this. ✌️👌

The fact you ask that shows that you haven’t read my opening post. No more really needs saying does it.

@@casteretpollux Again you show your lack of comprehension with that post, but I am not surprised by that.

@Cass you're miss reading the comment. They didn't say the enjoyed being befuddled or confused. They said they enjoyed listening to Peterson "even if they can't ALWAYS understand". That doesn't imply they enjoy being confused. It implies that they're occupying the right place of learning. If you're at a spot where you understand let's say 80% but 20% is too hard for you, then you're at the edge of your ability. That's good. That's how you advance your ability. You're in a place where you can still push yourself and grow.

You should just challenge yourself a little more. My advice would be to listen to this very same Q&A again to catch what you've missed to make that connection. Thereafter you should be hungry to listen to more and then it all just progresses upward from there if you really care.

Hello … I’ve made the journey from Atheist .. to Agnostic .. To Bahai .. To New Age and finally to a follower of Jesus ( not a Religion ) …. When I was an atheist I had a series of traumatic personal experiences that made me reevaluate my view of myself / purpose / meaning / reality … etc etc. To make this very long story short I have arrived at an understanding where what I believe to be truth has become self evident. So I proved to and for myself that God exists. So what logically would follow would be ascertaining what was the reason I was created. “Who am I, where did I come from and why am I here” … as it has been expressed as many times by the seeker. I posit that the search for these answers are the root of “belief’ and its important not to confuse the spiritual quest with the blind acceptance of the manipulated, controlled and diabolically twisted interpretations, dogma and mind control spewed by the man made institutionalized religions. Its easy to prove God exists …. Our own minds and thoughts/dreams prove the existence of a non material realm sovereign to matter. As the effect cannot be greater than the cause … ( a painting cannot create the painter, a table cannot create the carpenter ) therefore our minds cannot have originated or arisen from matter. And as the table proves the existence of the carpenter .. our minds having not being created by us .. prove the existence of a greater mind/realm that is the cause of our minds. .. That would be God and the Spiritual Realm. Your mind proves God, soul and Spirit. Shalom and good luck on your Journey …

LOVE IS THE CREATIVE POWER. God is LOVE. JESUS ULTIMATE PURPOSE WAS FUELED, based on LOVE. Fallen creation was Tasting of The tree of Kowledge Was and hadto be offered. True LOVE IS NEVER FORCED IT IS AND HAS TO BE BASED ON FREEWILL.

All religions and beliefs are an attempt to explain what the invisible aspects of reality are. There is a big problem with how we have been attempting to do so. Majority of human kind only experience 1% or less of actual reality. With the 1% that is understood, we have "language" to describe it. Here is where the problem lies. There isn't a human language to describe the other 99%... for those that do experience more than the average 1% they attempt to use human language to explain more, which ultimately turns into mythology or religion for the average mind...

true. Good point.
