@@AstraVex one night I caught my wife in bed with fire. Then the fire spread. There were no survivors. Fire fucked my wife, killed my family, and destroyed my house. Ever since then I've devoted my live to getting revenge on fire
tbh as soon as you said "keep your eyes on the couch" i immediately started looking for a man in a gorilla suit. i've been fooled too many times before
"Basically ideologies are like assholes. Everyone's got one. We use it everyday, but you're very rarely look at your own, unless somethings gone wrong.." I lol so hard at this
notable exceptions may include: being a primary health physician, GAY, having certain sexual desires, chronic medical condition/medication side effects, hauntings of a previous ‘something’s gone wrong’, frequent taco bell visits, &/or being autistic with a special interest related to (specific?) human anatomy. i just read it back imagining these traits all in one person & the inner turmoil that comes with being destined to forever being known as *the anal lord.* the one that’s taunted by every excuse under the sun to make it shine just a little much more than the average person
"I refuse to be correct, the goal is to be wrong in interesting ways" oh I love this line, no one has ever said something like that near me. This channel is so refreshing. I just joined.. will be binging all videos in the next long weekend I get.
That's almost a citation from one of my favorite shows ("Bloch", it was a German TV show from 90s/00s, not unlike "House MD" but with a psychologist / therapist called Dr. Bloch instead of a medical doctor) In one episode Bloch is asked: "you think you're always right, don't you?" and he responds: "No. But I'm wrong in more interesting ways than others." 😊
There's a bill in Texas that will ban homeless people from camping in public places and will fine them $500 for doing so. So yeah. Homeless people are often not looked at as people.
@@jazzb3371 homeless people are treated as if they are homed people who are just being "degenerates". as if camping under a bridge is a choice they make and not something that have to do for survival, not that politicians or the police care about their survival..
@An On Through the wonderful math of ratio calculation can you show that there are more non-homeless people you better not to want to hang out with. Of course, you have deep insights into the structure of that particular group, but you do just that what is said above. You judge them disconnected from all other people and only inside of their group. Is this valid? All the problems and illnesses you mentioned are not specific to this group of people. But the accumulation of "bad behavior" or the drugs?. For example, what do you expect if you open a sales booth with dandruff shampoo. And for blonde people only for one dollar. Which people do you expect to gather there? I do not want to belittle your experience or your report. But you cannot speak for everyone. That would also be problematic as homeless people rarely travel the world and collect statistics. I think "homeless" is once again such a laziness term, since everything else is inadmissible and should be viewed as individual fates. The solution also needs more than generalizations. Namely money, money, money and social(workers). Besides, definition is one of those things. For example, my country simply defined the gypsies as homeless. And since these were also viewed as worthless, they were simply killed. That was the Nazis' solution. That can happen very quickly. In 10 years. There are quite some people these days who think that way. And which group is now defined as worthless? Blonde with dandruff? Sorry for bringing up that shit from 80 years ago. Stay healthy, warm and fit:)
My wife was sitting behind me while I was watching this and she immediately heard that and was trying to figure out what the heck I was watching like “does this person not think a homeless man is a person?” I found out then that trying to describe PhilosophyTube is harder than you’d think.
The Hermes/Mercury symbol in this beautiful makeup is one of my favorite. In botanical shorthand, it can be used to indicate a flower with both male and female parts, a condition in plants we call "perfect." Astounding video, I'm a new fan.
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, what are its pronouns?" "Five people and a homeless man." "Textual tension." "We're totally not racist." God. There's so many good lines.
As a cis male (and a former follower of the "manosphere") from a comparatively conservative country, your explanation of phenomenology and its application to the trans experience was amazing. All my life I have been looking for an explanation, or rather, a clarification to the experience of people I love and want to love truly without the bigotry that was ingrained in me. Your explanation was simple yet beautifully human. Thank you for that.
I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking. The real meaning behind it seems to be "you're not listening to me", with a spin put on to make it sound like not being listened to is some kind of an injustice being done to him, rather than a choice anyone else in the world has the agency and ability to make. It's manipulative sort of language because the intended effect of all that is to make it seem like making the choice to ignore what this person has to say would put you morally in the wrong. And I wonder if, for some people, that effect would make a person saying phrases like "I'm being silenced" instead of "some people don't want to listen to me" more likely to seem like they're *right* regardless of what they're actually saying.
"I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking." -- No, but they may have the power to stop people hearing what Peterson has to say. For example, protesters at his talks. Peterson himself has been pretty effective at being heard, but there are plenty of people like him who have been silenced effectively because of their views.
@@LeBonkJordan I don't know, because they have been silenced. Typically, I am talking about people who are silenced because protestors think that what they are going to say will be racist/sexist/hateful to gays or trans people.
This is just straight up false, his detractors are the reason he was forced out of being a university professor. Despite there being not a single smoking gun they can pin to the man, they succeeded in influencing his place of employement to terminate his role. He is a licensed clinical psychologist who very rarely gives his own opinion on things, and talks almost exclusively from literature and now is unable to teach a field in which he is an expert to students. That is being silenced. No one wins from that, even if you think his views are wrong and bad, wrong and bad things still deserve to be judged on their own merits. There is room for more than one opinion in the crucible of society.
Umm, I'm pretty sure Peterson has never used the word "silenced" to refer to people choosing not to listen to him. It's pretty ironic that you would use the term "manipulative" after trying to deceive people about what he's talking about.
“That terrible fire took the lives of five people... and a homeless man.” It’s such an expected part of our culture, I didn’t even get the joke on the first pass.
I'm always SO impressed by this channel. I start watching every video with a deep fear that in the middle of the video you would somehow lose objectivity or fall into a bias, yet by the end of every video on this channel you waltz perfectly by every pitfall and stick the landing as a curious observer. Seriously a gem of a channel. No doubt.
It's the joy of honest reflective philosophy, while rare, it's... honest and reflective and you feel at the end of it that it was honest and reflective and omg we need so much more of this in our lives, in the world. A world that's more honest with itself about what's happening and how we can and should change it, and more reflective of its mistakes and faults without shutting down and acting like a sook who refuses to acknowledge things could be wrong and if you challenge that acts like a victim while supporting systemic behaviour that harms others and legitimately makes them victims I dunno, I'm running long. This channel is amazing and I love your comment
Not only is this a visually spectacular feast, it is also wonderfully restrained in how it deals with the phenomenon of Jordan Peterson without compromising its critical stance. Thank you for this, Abigail!
@@piedpiper1185 short form: Peterson famously claimed that wearing red lipstick is always, always a sign of sexual desire and effectively sexual harrassment against men, because "look at biology" and his example was lobsters being red. What he missed, because he's not a biologist, is that a lobster turns red when it has been boiled and is in fact very dead. It was a shining example of someone speaking with expertise in a field they do not have and saying something goofy and embarrassing, and thus became quoteable.
Oh, you, you, you wonderful person. I do think we r missing the trees from the forrest. Talking to some of my alternative lifestyle friends they love when u call them lady (4 men 2 woman) or bloke (4 woman to men). They have told me that it's not a fetish it's a feeling of being born into the wrong body. Now if u have to deal with that? I can call you whatever u want to be called. Simple as that. The 'right' are muddying the water intentionally. It's a tactic they are using at the moment. It diversionary to the real narrative. That being,"Don't be a prick (or cunt if u prefer) & Golden Rule (funny because most of them proclaim and profess 'I love Jesus')". Well how about following what he actually preached my right wing 'friend'? Hmmm?
I don't like Dark Souls. There, I said it. I'm sick of being judged for thinking that the series is a boring, masochistic exercise in what boils down to tedious homework. I never had the time nor inclination to git gud, but I hope everyone else enjoys their circlejerk
I just recently discovered this channel and just wanted to leave a comment that I love your delivery and rhetorical style. It's very captivating and informative. I haven't studied philosophy since college and even then I wasn't a great student of it. So this is a refreshing change of pace.
Did you read the captions about them during the credits? They're basically the creator's annotations about them and ohhhh my goooooosh Also, I'm wondering about Adelaide's hyphenated surname. Presumably, she and Ivan grew up with the same surname, though I suppose it's possible they didn't, which would wreck my other theories. My other theories: she's married but she's cheating on her spouse with Ivan, or she's divorced or widowed and kept her married surname.
@@fairycat23 Thanks for pointing this out to me. I liked the nod to Nakobov who I believe she covered in an earlier video, I never would've caught that on my own.
The arsonist and the arsonist's sister, both characters who have been portayed by abigail in a relationship somehow being Incest AND selfcest is hilarious.
Hey! I’m a blind guy, I found your first video on Laws and have been really enjoying this channel. The philosophy of experience is interesting because, well, My experience changes almost daily as my vision slips further towards full blindness. Things disappear. Things appear. For brief moments I see things I have never seen before. And will never see again. It’s. Interesting. I am also studying law. My approach to law specifically has been really rewarding as I get a lot of compliments on my ability to approach the same Subject from Many sides. The couch example is interesting. Had you not said “couch” and merely shown the sides I wonder how many people may have thought love seat or chair before landing on couch. Our experiences are so varied as humans. Alas. You are the first philosopher I have ever followed. So I will continue to learn. Thanks for doing these videos!
My dear friend fell down an unfortunate rabbit hole of Peterson's videos and now repeats whatever he says. Conversing with her has become tough lately, because anything he says she takes at face value. This video has given me great points that I will mention in our next conversation to help her dismantle the idea of him as this all-knowing savior. Thank you 🙏
Yep I found myself doing that about Huberman and now I have my doubts. I had booked and paid to listen to him (Huberman)tomorrow and now I am willing to dump the money and not go.
Some people do not think and just soak in everything they hear from other... Peterson speak in way that sound like he know everything and is never wrong so lot of people just latch on to everything he say whiteout using their brain at all. It is no Petersons fault, it is the people that do not think independently.... I disagree with 70% of what Peterson say, he is right but also sometimes wrong and some people is unable to see that.
@@d.w.stratton4078 : I grew up in Oakland California where while there was some homelessness 15 years ago when I moved away (skyrocketing housing costs made it so $50,000 per year didn't cut it) it was extremely rare that anyone with even a part time job was homeless. Now there are literally thousands of homeless who have full time jobs.
The most exciting part of the entire internet is the fact that I now get unlimited access to lectures by world-class teachers and thinkers for FREE. this is the BEST time in history to be a nerd. This was an absolutely FANTASTIC analysis. thank you thank you.
@@GabriellaMarieTherapist WHAT?! Probably it's because the cold hard letters of a comment, but I'm literally agreeing with you to immediately feel sorry for everytime one can't enjoy these possibilities or those that are unable to do so. Like: "This is great! I'd like more people could enjoy it!"
Reading your comments I remembered a fire on a São Paulo downtown building occupied by homeless people that "suddenly" cached fire not long ago. Many newspapers blamed the inhabitants for the fire, but even if they were accidentally responsible, the rich are even more responsible for in their greed creating the homelessness and abandoned buildings in the first place.
Yeah when she said that I was like “we do be treating the homeless as outcasts and subhuman”. I keep pushing for our local authorities to make more homeless resources but they don’t respond and it just rubs it in your face more. They. Don’t. Care. :(
I just rediscovered this channel and remember why I loved it so much during lockdowns. It reminds me of one of my favorite reads; If Minds Had Toes. Ya take these complex ideas born of philosophical schools/ideologies and present them in a way that is highly digestible to even the layman. Ya help take away the barrier to understanding that usually exists in academic circles due to the nature of jargon and intellectualism.
Remember kids: if a tree falls in a forest, it doesn't make a sound unless an ear is around to translate the vibrations into sound. Reality is inherently subjective, and you are always wrong.
I always had this problem with focusing on her videos, she'd throw out one little joke like that and it would throw my dumb horny little brain for minutes. Really thought it would settle down when she came out/transitioned but on god it's just getting worse. Idek what my sexuality is, but apparently I'm attracted to super attractive people.
“Ideologies are like arseholes. Everyone’s got one. We use it everyday. But you very rarely look at your own…unless something’s gone wrong.” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m dying.
Anyone have a list of videos by Philosophy Tube doing just this, examining and deconstructing Philosophy Tube's own views and when sophistry may have been involved?
I don't know if this is good or bad. I have only been watching your videos for 6 months maybe. I have never watched your videos in order so until I saw the other Peterson video I had no idea that you were trans. I just thought that this channel had two hosts. A man and a woman. It never crossed my mind to think differently.
This is the first video of yours that I watched after your channel being endlessly recommended to me! Imagine my delight when the video opened with a concise and engaging explanation of phenomenology! I'm impressed with how well researched and thought out your analysis of Peterson's work is, while making me giggle for the entirety of the video. I especially liked the way you presented the bits about Husserl -- Finally someone who understands the phenomenology of reading his work, birdsong and all 😄. This video was an absolute treat! Can't wait to watch more
This is the first Philosophy Tube video I've ever watched. Until now I had never discovered a philosophy blog, RU-vid channel or podcast that could catch and hold my attention. I would get lost in the volume of new, strange-to-me vocabulary, and then I'd miss a couple of salient points while worrying about the vocabulary, then I'd get bored because I felt lost overall. So I'm really happy I found this channel, thanks to another one of your subscribers toddy1609. Oh and your outfit is amazing
Yeah, thats how they indoctrinate you , make it digestible so everyone can wathc it , and now its your first real experience with philosophy and they can say whatever they want and youll believe them because you can't yet think critically on a level to detect small fallacies (wich this video and channel is full of , trust me) , please for your sake try to stick with books at the beggining , even if its boring to look up every word , it gets better trust me , if you continue to watch these easily digestible videos you wont develop philosophically and youll just become brainwashed by whatever propaganda the person making the video is trying to sell you
I have to say, it’ll be a little disappointing if this video is representative of how the arsonist is gonna be depicted in the future. Abigail always played him so well, it’ll be a shame if he’s always offscreen from now on.
One day a friend of mine asked my mom (who is a psychologyst) what kind of psychologyst she was and she answered social, but she added something she had never told me before and made so much sense, she said something along the lines of "the point in social psychology is to understand that an advise isn't gonna work for everyone, the person who is depressed because they can't find a job to support their family isn't going to get better by breathing and cleaning their room, there's other kinds of implications" and I think thaat moment made so much sense on why I was raised in a way sociology was this interesting to me.
@@alexanderstark5233 but the causes of their mental health problemas aren’t having an unclean room, the causes are external from the individual’s responsability. In fact, having an unclean room is a consequence of those external problems, just a symptom. So, isn’t depression and its symptoms just a natural response to a bigger problem that’s intrinsic to the system?
@@alexanderstark5233 The issue is, when an unclean room isn't the cause of the depression, it won't make you feel better. If you lack the energy to do it, telling someone that he has to only piles up more reasons for them to feel like a failure. The mental health crisis is caused by our economic model. Peterson tries to pin it on individual failure and minorities getting rights, so nobody will critize the true cause.
I don't care if you like Abigail or not, agree with her politics or not, you have to admit one thing; She has the most awesome fashion. I don't know if you design your own stuff, or if you pay someone to do it, but whatever the case, I love her outfits. (I say that as a CIS American male, if it makes any difference).
I’m watching this video again a few months since I watched “they live”, and I’m like “oh! it’s a reference! let’s see if someone mentions it in the comments”
Eyyy, I brought the themes of Phenomenology and Structuralism as a way of knowing what we are teaching in our classes in my college class for a presentation I had. Went 10/10 and I couldn't have done it if you haven't put this video up. Thanks for being such an amazing educational channel!
There's a professional Dom on RU-vid, she makes videos giving tips on BDSM relationships. Recently she answered a question from her Patreon about toxic masculinity, and she quoted Jordan Peterson... yeah...
Me, a critical phenomenologist psychologist finishing her work at 4am: Ah yes, I will watch the new PhilosophyTube video to get my mind off of work. Abby, almost immediately: "Phenomenology is, famously, very simple."
As a cis white male humanist struggling with trauma I have found some great help through JBP's talks and writings. Your critical review has helped me understand why I do not easily identify with other fans of his work. I myself have stepped away due to my perception of his radicalisation against the trans community as a result of his repeated encounters with less aware critics. I would love to hear you and he debate. I think such an event, while difficult to arrange and potentially frought with controversey would be absolutely worth the enlightenment. To my point which I will repeat on JBP's page, An Oxford Ubion Debate between you two would be brilliant. This is my dream until I come up with something better. JFH
Hello good man provided you have revised the contents of this video, would you help me understand the points the author wants to expose? I was somewhat upset by the bits on the deliverance. Answer or not, I thank the possible attention.
People who are watching this without the Closed Captions are really missing out. I always have to watch the video twice just to make sure I didn't miss anything while reading the Captions.
it's that little 5% effort where she (or maybe one of her editors if she has, idk how production works) creates a caption for every musical interlude or uses unspoken parentheticals to make the script as saucy as the speech that just elevates the entire work, it's incredible
i'm here just for the audio mostly but i do appreciate the visual presentation too, an awful lot of effort goes in to each of these video's, i especially appreciate the research done, it actually prompts me to look things up and investigate
I really love that detail "5 people and a homeless man" in this narrative, the people living outside is not people. And that would fit with that stereotype. I have done my thesis on suicide, I developed a full fleched new theory on sociological suicide. And I did a ton of research on the nareative of suicide and saw the same narratives being used about people living outside. Dehumanizing, pushing them aside, excusing the lag of action, blaming the victims, identical narratives. It was disgusting to be honest.
I made it through a lot of this with a straight face, trying to keep up with the deadpan delivery on those sideways potshots, but at "Now let's look at Jordan Peterson's asshole" and that pause, I absolutely died. Your timing and delivery on the script is impeccable. lol. Just found your channel, and I'm loving it
Me too. Anytime I read or hear something about making anyone civilized I cringe. I'm finishing an archaeology degree so lots of old quotes, to discuss new ideas and where we started, are about group sizes and perceived complexity and involve the word "civilization" or "civilized."
"the goal is to be wrong, in interesting ways" -love that! the eyes on the couch exercise... I know this is a very basic one-dimensional example, but I realise my fine art background has trained me to be able to switch on more objective viewing capabilities at will...to be able to separate in my mind the meaning and the visual input. This is one of the benefits of learning to draw/see. I highly recommend it for anyone interested.
first video of yours I've seen, instantly addicted. This was a fun way to present some really dense material. Cheeky not scared to go at the truth, not picking a fight that wasn't there, aiming at the point the whole time with a lot of good information. Iyou're
Just wanted to add that I am a phil undergrad with full on ADHD. It is hard, and many times disheartening, but you realize that reading philosophy texts is hard work for everyone, indifferently of their intelligence, they are made to be studied not simply read, and the thrill of discovering new concepts with which to see the world in new ways motivates some of us enough to surpass other people who might be left too disheartened because for the first time they have to deal with something which requires a lot of effort.
@@OntologicalCatastrophe I found that if you part up the dense walls of texts philosophy often comes in (much like a complicated math problem), they become far easier to follow and understand.
@@OntologicalCatastrophe I, as a dyslexic, found that if I engaged with the text as if I am debating against it I could retain more and have a better understanding. To truly be able to understand a position you have to be able to tear it into little pieces. The funny part is that you eventually realize that every position has its weaknesses and everyone is wrong in some way even the nihilists. That is when you realize the best course of action is to pick and choose what you think is the best and produces the best results and move forward from there. I hold very libertarian views because I want people to be able to do their own thing the way they want to do it and I want to be able to my thing the way I want to do it. I like talking about solutions I think are better but recognize in terms of philosophy, ethics, and politics there are very rarely any right answers. I disagree with this channel on pretty much every ethical and philosophical ground yet her view points are valid and her lifestyle choices are her choices. I think they are wrong but I can not demonstrate that they are wrong. So the best way forward in my opinion is we talk, try to understand each other perspectives learn from each other what we can learn and let each other live our lives the way we want. This is why, here in America, I dislike both political parties, they are both trying to control how we live our lives. The Right is filled with people trying to legislate religion to the nation, and the Left is filled with people that demand their way of life be accepted as objectively good, healthy, moral, and right. Makes me want to say things that will get the message flagged. TLDR: Debate against everything to gain a deeper understanding of it. Live and let live. The Right and The Left are both messed up morality enforcing tyrants.

There is no shift in Jordan Peterson ideas : his 2 books are just a summary of his academic book Maps of Meaning. References to phenomenology were already present in his old lessons. Btw JP has no ideology and his ideas are not new, he is just making a summary, but using modern topics, of traditional (and cross-political) western values, staying quite attached to very basic (but everlasting) classic liberalism ideas. What is really surprising is that people actually think that JP is saying something philosophically new and/or weird. He is just quite updated on statistics and psychometric studies, nothing else
@@jrd33 Sure, he updates the debate coreageously but it's still classic liberalism in essence (though he now tilts a bit more towards traditionalism-gradualism)
I've watched this video many times and absolutely love it. I also learnt a lot from it. But I think this time around, something stuck out to me which I will type (I just want it for my reference) - I don't think the desire for objective truth comes from the desire to be right alone. Yes, "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right" is ONE reason... but also, it comes from the fundamental human urge to avoid chaos. The line of reasoning goes "If there's no objective truth, there is no metric to measure anything" [what things person wants to measure says a lot about their value systems]. For me, it is then "how do I even know where I am when there is no frame of reference? I guess it could be framed as the search for a "correct" frame of reference, but ultimately, wonky ruler better than no ruler - i just need a metric. I need things to mean something. There has to be an objective truth. I guess my main critique of the statement "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right", is that it reads as "these people are afraid to be wrong - very egotistical of them" - and I think it is more desperate than that. I actually appreciate that the self-help section comes next, because that is a lot of the reason why people like Jordan Peterson. I personally don't - but i get the appeal. Not having an objective reality causes me great anxiety.
I think there's also an element of feeling your identity threatened. Our ideologies are often very tied up in our identities, especially when it comes to ideology rooted in religion, ethnicity, nationality, etc. Unless it is approached delicately in a safe setting, it's easy for someone who is already stressed and tired to get angry about what they perceive as a questioning of their core values and identity. Most people already struggle to live up to their own ideals of morality and success, so hearing someone questioning the objectivity of those ideals can be very emotionally difficult. That's no excuse for being cruel or engaging in bigotry, of course. And questioning can be incorporated into an ideology-- iirc Judaism has a particularly beautiful tradition of challenging its own beliefs. But I think it's worth understanding why people have these reactions on a human level.
The main complaint i have about this video is i already have Peterson vids showing up in my recommendeds. I'm impressed you could do this, i could not. I find him very ...exploititive to say the least. I hope this at the very least opens up a positive discourse between people of differing views. 👍
@@michaeltenang7087he presents himself as an expert on subjects he has no real knowledge of. He uses his doctorate as a shield, which presents the illusion of authority. But really, a doctorate only means you’re well versed in a specific discipline. Then, add to that the fact he pretended to misunderstand a fairly basic law to present himself as a paragon of free speech, whilst collecting tens of thousands a month on patreon. And allegedly, leaving his previous psychology clients in the dust without explanation, as he was becoming famous… I’d absolutely say that’s exploitative
@@ej5677 to my knowledge, he presents himself as an expert in the field of psychology, and he *actually* has a concrete understanding of psychology. He also has a doctorate in psychology which dissuades the idea that his authority in psychology is illusory. How then can you say that he presents himself as an expert with no real knowledge? Do you maybe mean to say that he willingly presents himself as an expert in subjects other than that which he earned a doctorate in? I also have not heard or read anything about him leaving his clients during his rise to fame; but I could have just genuinely missed that news somehow. Could you please show me where you got this from?
@@michaeltenang7087 Yeah, sorry i should have made that clearer. He has a doctorate in psychology, and I meant that that makes him knowledgeable about that particular subject. But he often goes on public platforms and discusses topics such as climate change, the trans community and what have you, with no actual experience on the subject. And an obvious unwillingness to actually learn about them. But like they say (and im paraphrasing here), it’s hard to get someone to understand something, when their livelihood depends on misunderstanding it. I first heard about it through a Caelan Conrad video on YT. Then when I looked into it further, it seems he has admitted to not having seen a patient professionally since 2017. I can’t really post links cause YT will generally nuke the comment, but here’s an excerpt from an article: ‘Shortly before Jordan Peterson decided he couldn’t be both a media personality and a practicing psychologist at the same time, he cancelled sessions with patients, later claiming illness, while maintaining an appointment to appear on television; he responded to messages from patients with auto-reply emails which brought up the challenges of his burgeoning fame, directing recipients to send argumentative emails to his ideological opponents; he employed his wife to sort through emails from patients without first asking for their consent; he shared potentially identifying information about patients with other patients; and he twice visited the restaurant where Samantha worked, returning after she had implored him not to, having seemingly forgotten that she worked there’. You can copy and paste the text above or just google variations on ‘Jordan Peterson abandoned patients’ and there’s a few articles. Again, can’t confirm or deny it’s true, which was why I said allegedly. Like, not saying the man hasn’t got some merits. Some people clearly get a lot out of his old lectures. But like, ignoring all the above, he had taken a massive shift to the right wing in recent years, seemingly because it’s extremely lucrative. That alone is enough for me to worry about someone’s credibility
Yep, it really sums up this video. Especially the part with overlapping texts and voices, with a message: don't even try to think, I have already done that for you.
The first time I watched this video, many concepts were new. Now that I have done a lot of reading myself, I still find this video perfect in every way. True, I cannot learn from it anymore, but it is entertaining, visually pleasing, and didactically a masterpiece. Although I love all the videos on this channel, this - by far - is my favorite.
Every time you said "let's read a passage..." it so perfectly showed the state of my brain reading any philosophical text. As a philosophy student, I thank you for your amazing content.
The first time I was like "how the hell is that famously simple?" as I read some Husserl as well. The second time was like "how the hell everything here is famously simple?". The third time I just cracked. But yeah, it's good to hear philosophy student is struggling as well because I thought I was just utterly stupid (which is possible).
Hello my dear Abigail and team. You can not imagine how Happy I was to discover a channel in youtube making a great critic video about Jordan Peterson's philosophy and other amazing videos you have, in the way you make them. I was so happy that I wanted to show your videos to my love couple and her housemates, who live in a transfeminist lesbian utopia, here in Granada, south of Spain (I mean that they live in a house which at the same time is a tranfeminist association). The problem is that, it seems, that being millenial and woke doesn't make you know and speak english, so a lot of my fellow ones can not enjoy your beautiful videos. I was wondering, do you want someone to translate the subs of your videos to Spanish? I would be happy to do that, big hugs :) 🏳️🌈 (I already did translate the introduction)
@@BassPhat nah, you got it. She has an old video (pre-transition so don't be surprised to see a "man" talking) where she lays it all out. This is a callback joke/reference/whatever
One of her tweets implies that an earlier draft referred to a royal dying instead of the "Nation Celebrates Royal Baby," which would have been even worse.
"lets talk about phenomenology." Pretends to give a quote from an expert then, of course (because everything has to do with you), rambles about how she feels. "ok, now we understand." The comment section is literally people laughing together about how little they're capable of understanding these topics and the books theyve read. She did a very poor job explaining the subjects. This is major disservice to herself and her viewers. Do better One or two coherent points made, maybe.
"If you're really a man then what you are doing is mansplaining" from the Arsonist's sister made me almost spill hot tea on myself and my computer. Abby really out here giving us quality trans humour! I am in such love
@@constellationary Yep. I'm actually ok with this from TERFs, provided we stop there. "I'm mansplaining? Great. You have to go listen to a trans woman then."
Peterson has made a name for himself through the excessive use of 'deepities', which are statements that are apparently profound but actually assert a triviality on one level and something meaningless on another. The fact that so many people are taken in by this, is honestly quite depressing. He refrains from going further in his 'philosophy', because that would quite quickly lead to a place where the contradictions become overwhelming.
