Jordan Peterson: The FULL Interview 

Amen to that

Agree and good for you! Unfortunately John Stossel is less compelling every time I watch him. But Peterson handles him well.

Imagine being Latino that agrees with Mr Peterson and hearing that it's "angry white male" think. It's more offensive than you think to hear logic and reason be called what it so clearly is not and to mislable all of us who agree with logic and reason as racist when one is clearly not.

He tries to improve everyone, not just young men.

Have p look u kk uk

Short : grow up

Its getting old man

I LEFT THE LEFT BECAUSE THEY TURNED INTO AN AUSTHORITARIAN CULT

I'm a paraplegic and i won't stand for such comments!!!!

JP: stands back up. Activists: "there you go again."

That is incredible. And congratulations. I mean that. And most people can't imagine the suffering you have relieved yourself and others from. YOU did that. Not Jordan. Any way, thank you for this testimony.

Great work, that really is a huge thing to do!!

So happy for you Brother!! I'm 3 n a half years clean from opiates...some of that stuff as well. I train MMA, read the Bible and highlight passages, read one book at a time on the side as well, work out at a regular gym, I cook prep and eat clean food, my spirituality has grown tremendously, etc. You begin to gravitate towards other individuals who are going in that same direction. God Bless.

And yet, your youtube name is "Tits McGee" lololol. Love it.

Fair play 2 u keep it up

I am for most of what Jordan Peterson preaches but the interviewer is playing devil's advocate too obviously in his favor that just takes the joy out of watching this video. 6.5/10

An interesting contrast between this interview and the "interview" he has in that clip. The "interviewer" in that clip was about making herself the subject of the discussion, rather than having the interviewee the subject. Nice contrast.

It's called devil's advocate

So you're saying that female journalists/interviewers lack talent and don't work hard? ; - )

agreed.i used to judge/underestimate Stossel,until one day i heard him as a guest on Dennis Millers old radio show, Miller can be a dick at times& snob, tried to show his superior Intellect,making too clever references to keep someone on their toes, etc.,& Stossel would just let one go over his head &say,",sorry, i didn't catch the reference, uh... ," or something & let the dead air hang, very refreshing & it made Miller have to change tac.

You got that right

Better to be the warrior in the garden than the gardener on the battlefield.

Yep，that's the point

let me put that into perspective.. it is the lesson my Grand father and father taught me.. "Never start a fight. But be the one to finish it". Which means what Jordan said. Be able to hurt others, but use it as a last resort. Yes, its like many gun owners and like what they taught us in the military. Which is why veterans pray for peace. They know the price that will be paid if peace fails.

@@westmibaddrivers2573I was raised the same way. ... Remember, there are many ways to hurt. ...political, reputation, legally, economically, scientific debate,...all of which should remain 'sheathed' until all negotiations are exhausted. It doesn't have to be physical injury.

nice

Well said

Why are you a feminist if you're not against men?

@@MrScialabbaguyThere was nothing wrong with the comment you responded to, so why mock it? It’s bizarre, man.

Yes!! I've never thought of it like that, but that's exactly what he is for so many lost and lonely men. He encourages them to be dissatisfied with who they are so they can become their best.

Who cares and is capable of love.

When I was a kid, my dad would get us a candy bar to split. When my mom got a candy bar, she had a rule that whoever broke the candy bar in half, the other kid got to pick their side. There is difference, on average, with the way mothers and fathers teach their kids. With the rise of single mothers, micromanagement and collectivism dominate childhood, so people are looking for the self-reliance and independence point of view they would have gotten from a two parent household. This is the actual reason Peterson is popular with men, not because RU-vid is mostly men. This is also the reason SJWs are mostly women, genetics.

Wonderful quote

Mr. Stossel is one of those few good legacy media journalists. I would put him up with Barbara Walters, though I may be remembering the latter through rose-colored glasses. Stossel doesn’t seem like he has an agenda in his interviewing style. He asks “why?” which is what journalists are *SUPPOSED* to do instead of _“sO wHAt YoU’Re saYInG iS…”_

Yes, I particularly loved the David Schultz interview

INTERNATIONAL Treasure

Not bad for a Canuck.

So true. And the same can be said for Stossel.

Overall he is a positive influence, but he is wrong about somethings and afraid of others. He clearly demonstrated that he does not really know what compassion is in this interview for example. Someone asked him about the influence of Jews and the Israeli lobby and he freaked out and ran away from the question. He said someone who shoots up a school is weak, and that is too easy an answer. It is an answer designed to please, and to make a more complex issue overly simplistic. It reminds me of when leftards say "rape isn't about sex, it's about power." A horse$hit easy answer, designed to please low IQ people so they can say "Ah! That's why."

@@toddberry9455 that's racist

@Glenn Krenz a rare trait nowadays.

Just wish he left the interview with John's* mustache.

@Glenn Krenz i dont know much about John since I was looking for some Peterson interviews after finding him. I agree though John’s interviewing style was great compared to most others i’ve seen.

John has been the man for at least 30yrs.

He's ruthless but you can see they are kindred spirits. Another half hour well spent.

Mr. James Onions 🧅

the guy's a coward with a mask. He's like a rubber band, stretched or not , hes bland

a planned interview is simply a script,

Thank you!

Let's just make sure we're not so opened minded that our brains fall out. That seems to be a common occurrence here in America anymore. Hey if it Feels good, do it. I have to admit Jordan Peterson hits the nail on the head as far as I can tell, but it's like this interviewer is exposing to everyone watching he (the interviewer) is "open minded". Being open minded by terms of Liberalism is anything goes and accept everything as long as it gratifies sexual urges, greed, lust, anger, rage, and violent vengeance towards anyone who disagrees with the Liberal party, or just repeat themselves over and over again over another's voice like a crazy person or just raise one's voice over another, or just make claims of bigotry, sexism and racism. They seem to think by making these claims towards someone who disagrees with them is an automatic victory after the accusation is made, but rather to someone who's brain hasn't fallen from their skulls from being "open minded" we can see the psychosis of the person behaving like a young teenager or again.... a crazy person. I've come to notice teenagers and crazy people seem to follow the same pattern which is interesting to say the least. To me a crazy person is one who is immature and never grows up, or of course has a mental problem. Of course I could go on all day about puberty, hormones and life changes in the body and mind during that process but it seems some never leave that stage of development and are cursed to be psychotic and narcissistic. And yes I am saying that teenagers fit that bill. We all go through that stage in life, however some just remain in that stage stagnant and lost in a stage of life that's not meant to remain.

To listen is to learn, To hear is an auditory experience. Here Jordan Peterson elevates the hearing experience into teacher and educator. We are the lucky ones who are raised into this humble genius strata.

Welcome Conny. I got to meet JP before he published 12 rules for life and went on his first book tour. The experience was hard to put into words, I was humbled and beyond impressed with his humility, his passion, his empathy and his desire to help relieve the suffering of the vulnerable and the dispossessed. He appears to be a genuinely beautiful soul who cares so much for humanity, it causes him pain and emotional distress. A truly brave man indeed and the hero we need right now.

God bless people,like you, who give conversations and different view points a chance

Narcissistic tendency. Reject responsibility, admit wrong, take criticism.

You know your society is declining just by having a man appearing as a hero just for telling grown-up men to do that; would it have been necessary decades ago?

@channell11 Talk about dangerous!! If we start making our beds, do our chores, and live life with intentionality, accountability, and responsibility, that is in opposition to the left.

Because it pushes up upon Marxist nonsense that many of us have been increasingly and uncritically spoonfed by public education, media and entertainment for two generations. Cognitive dissonance is the negative reaction one can have when they come in contact with facts and arguments which challenge those deeply held beliefs. It makes people double down or seek to reinforce their beliefs-even those held for poor reasons.

Totally disagree with you. Stossel comes across as dismissive and controlling. Only host I really dislike.

@Rob...good call :)

He's the complete opposite of Cathy Newman and praise the Lord for that.

He does have a way to play both sides to ask questions and play devil's advocate.

I've made every generation of my family better with the help of Jordan Peterson. He's an asset to women. I love hearing him talk about his marriage and what that word means.

Awesome to hear that honestly, I'm cheering for you young lady.

So few women are intelligent enough to understand what his wisdom can do for them. You should be proud of what you have done.

@@jaimhaas5170 I think it has more to do with different interests and ways of gathering information. RU-vid is used most by men. Women are more inclined to read books or watch television shows.

Facts

From the sad but true file! ✌🏼🇨🇦

Gonna be pretty funny to watch the children of the haters (the few ones who are able to even start a family) enjoying JP against their parent's will. He's definitely one of those people who are hated (by the morons) but only later will people appreciate the things he's said and see him for what he truly is, possibly long after he's gone.

No wonder almost all Dems h8 him

Intellectual ! seriously lmfao

When I look at great human beings that contributed greatly into a prosperous human society. Ghandi, Martin Luther King and even prophets like Jesus and Mohammed. They all got tremendous amount of "hate" and some eventually got killed. But their wisdom and bravery are still with us to this day. I'm not comparing the persons and achievements. But rather the fact all of them spoke up, and a lot of people wanted to silence them. The truth hurts, and it seems a lot of humans aren't ready to face it.

This man has high integrity and empathy.

@@soakedbearrd Absolutely. Genuine empathy isn't always nice or soft. It is the antithesis to the modern left's performative brand of empathy.

Not loved by all. There's no shortage of vitriol and hatred for Peterson from the left. I can't think of anyone who has so shamelessly been slandered as Peterson, without an ounce of substance to their accusations. When I see people call him racist or misogynist I always ask for an example. He literally has hundreds of hours of his unedited lectures on RU-vid, from before he was famous. Not to mention all the speaking appearances and interviews he's done since then. And they can never produce a single example. Hating on a person who spends most of their time telling young people to take responsibility for their lives and tell the truth, is despicable.

There is so much truth in that statement it is tangible. Having learned that first hand I wish I wouldn't have wasted my earlier years. And I'm only in my mid Twenties! Everyone always asks you what you want to do or what you want to be not realizing that it's a pointless and confusing question to ask a child, be they in elementary or high school. Kids are already searching for so much of themselves, how are they supposed to give a decently true answer to those questions? They don't know enough about the world or themselves yet! The answer is to be a good person, be humble, help others, improve yourself, and take advantage of your sharpest skills to make a living.

@@freespirit5719 I think you're misunderstanding John Stossel, he's merely trolling the radical leftists and the feminists who usually attach Professor Jordan Peterson in this way. Look at the way he's calm and listening when JP speaks, being polite and never cutting him before he makes his points. He's actually giving JP a chance to dispel some of the accusations made against him because when he goes to interviews with people like Cathy Newman they always cut him off and never allow him to finish his points after asking stupid questions and trying to set traps for the man.

yes you do

Hell yeah, man.

Everything leftists don't want you to be.

If you possess those characteristics then you have no need to rely on the government/ authority, which means the commies can't control you.

If that's your take away from this, then you weren't listening. He also said that's what the left is *supposed* to be - meaning it is not. Peterson states that things like compassion aren't the only virtue, & relying solely on those things makes a person weak.

Yes, I grew up watching him on 60 seconds, journalism has taken a dive since the Obama Administration.

Yes, thats rare because other people have an agenda and have no intellectual curiosity. Stossel genuinely wants to know. While other so called journalists just want to make Peterson look bad.

He and Thomas Sowell.

I have to disagree. Jordan IS the greatest man of our time. I like and believe alot of what Ben Shapiro says. But there isnt one man on Jordan's level. And it's an utter sadness that so many take his words at face value without actually hearing him and putting critical thought into his words. He's brilliant.

I like how Peterson challenges my thinking. I don't mostly agree with him but I respect how he is knowledgeable, prepared, and will occasionally make points that give me a gift of staying humble.

Thank God there is still people with reason like this man. People that study history, psychology and human values to help us maneuver this information war era. Our values and human evolution is at stake with all this governmental greed and imbalance, it is great to see a hero who so eloquently clarifies our doubts with statistical evidence and universal truth.

@@wvhollargirl7549 serious question. Why do you mostly disagree? Vast majority of what he is saying is clinically or scientifically proven to be true. He is not politically motivated or swayed by a certain group of people, he just states facts that are mostly objective.

Although Peterson is no Libertarian and at times wants government intervention.

Except the Military-Industrial complex evil, cause even though Stossel pretended in that last video to be against the MIC, he still has that "support the troops" mentality. Truth is there is no draft anymore and we wouldn't of spent TRILLIONS on useless wars if we didn't have people volunteering to fight them. The wars we aged are on the Conservative/Right side of the USA house, they have always been the pro-military side. Dr. P NEVER talks about the bad of that, the effect war has on Men. In fact he praises the MIC's Phycology tests as he references them in his lectures positively. I always wanted to ask Dr. P, How do you go to War with a tactic (War on Terror) and do you think the pendulum should swing over to a society where men join the military for "purpose" and "shared sacrifice" and my FAV I would here in the military alot "They died fighting for the person next to them". I think we also need to warn against going too hard the other way.

That is your job now. And mine.

@@malice5121 It's amazing that people call it "common sense," because it's so rare (at least in our epoch of history), but thanks to Jordan Peterson people's knowledge of it is growing.

@@j.jasonwentworth723 I'm trying to understand how to formulate what you guys are saying myself. I suspect JP is in the process of articulating what we all know in our hearts as true. The trouble is that truth hurts and we all look to different ideologies to see if we can change the reality for the better. I see that as a good thing overall because it's a worthy goal to make life better. It's extremely difficult though and in the short term a lot of those ideas that seem good have terrible consequences over time. What I think Jordan is doing is bringing the conversation to a more respectable level. To the people who are trying to rationalize ill conceived solutions Peterson is a huge threat. Realistically if you've spent your lifetime trying to eliminate what you see as inequality in the pay gap for instance you're not going to like expanding your empathy to those you think are the enemy. I have no doubt sexism plays a role but as Peterson suggests there's a line the left crosses that goes too far. He's drawn it at "equality of outcome" and makes a very good case for why that is. I think the bigger problem might be that "equality of opportunity" can get very close to looking like it's pushing towards the equality of outcome ideal. As soon as we start thinking in terms of groups it then corrupts to the core. I don't know how to escape the rot other than to follow the idea of thinking in terms of individual sovereignty and value the careful discipline of speaking the truth to the best of my ability.

Exactly! It's quite shocking. I have heard Jordan say something like this before (and I am slightly paraphrasing) but "There is nothing more dangerous than a person who puts their life together." Hence the "clean your room." And when you start to put your life together (see his talk with Curator of the Toronto Art Museum on the "Psychology of Creativity.") you begin to see why beauty is shocking, because it illuminates all the things that are ugly in ourselves and highlights our own insecurities. And sometimes that insecurity is a reminder of something we need to work on. For me, after listening to his talks, I knew I needed to get sober. Almost 2 years sober now. Take care, Dan!

I'm curious where on the internet to go to find these inflammatory things. I'd like to have a discussion with the marxist feminist types. Serious inquiry, I'm not being a troll, I think it's important to have these discussions.

@@Maxq1 Definetly positivly challenging, Stossle can very easily get into a-hole mode but generally playing devils advocate for viewers to get the whole picture.

Stossel is the most ridiculous example of making strawmans.

@@mhtyler Heartily agreed. Another reason why John Stossel does that (asks questions from the point of view of those who disagree with the person he's interviewing [not only Jordan Peterson] is that it introduces the person, and his or her opinions and positions, to people who may know nothing, or little, about the person being interviewed), while simultaneously doing the same for the interviewee's detractors (as regards why they disagree so strongly with the interviewee). It is a quicker, and more memorable, way to impart information about both sides.

There is a term for that. Its called steelmanning.

I second the props to Stossel. He played a fantastic neutral devil's advocate here

Ahem. "Nihilistic optimism?" Nihilism: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless. Does that sound like optimism? Does that sound like Peterson? Did a spell checker get you somehow? Heh heh. I have always wondered why there are not more solipsists.

@@puppetsock Nihilism is not the one sentence google definition of it. It is an umbrella term for many philosophies, which take entire books to flesh out. One of those is existential nihilism, which is what most people refer to when talking about nihilism outside of a philosophy classroom. Existential nihilism is the belief that life is inherently meaningless (not necessarily that there are no moral principles), which Peterson in this interview all but confirms is his view. That is why he spends so much time talking about how to give our lives meaning, the inference there is they don't have meaning to start with. Optimistic, meaning he doesn't think that being meaningless is necessarily bad. Which is what he argues. So, what's the issue?

@@jac1968 huh... He is the opposite of nihilistic. You're using this word wrong, period.

lol. lmao even

@@consoommediaandlie8614 yes he is, one of the greatest minds of our time

Is there a test for the greatest mind of our time or is it just a compliment? I cannot tell when someone gushes with such praise do they see something or feel something I am missing. Mr Peterson has a quick mind at evaluating questions and his replies are so weighty that it would take most people a month to prepare the same reply but there, I think, many who can compete with his strengths but I am not one of those who could do so. The thing I see in him is the ability to be objective and he is not a attack dog but only raise his voice an octave for enforcing his point if he disagrees with someone with a different view of the situation being discussed.

Unfortunately there is a possibility that he won't. Not when you have this caliber of people shouting so angrily that he is wrong. It will always be construed until accountability is held for those sewing this disparity onto the world

Absolutely agree. Revered and intelligent minds must be praised!

no he is brave... and honest...he dares to do something that many academics don't... criticize other academics as fraud.. it is brave because it weakens the source of his own hierarchy and money ! many academics KNOW that humanity, gender studies and so on are a scientific fraud...but as they don't want people to know how THEIR money is spent..they don't say anything to the point the are eaten alive by radical.. you don't need to be that clever!!! but honest and brave///

Thank you for the precious gift, now could y'all please vote out Trudeau 😘

They don't see this caliber of mind, as they can not understand the grammer. He is the Carl Sagan of mind.

And that's MANKIND. Not Justin Trudeau's "People kind".

I started listening to his book, "Maps of Meaning" narrated by him and IMHO he has been in training for this time in history for most of his life. As a very young man he was fascinated with Socialism, but early on recognized how performative the "compassion" was. Instead of jumping on any band wagons for a right way to think he seemed to have challenged himself with learning how to use his mind to actually study and think things through. I can attest that in my time in Academia just 4 years ago at age 56, 80% of the instruction is geared toward Social Justice and "What" to think rather than how to engage the mind with the material. I recieved a disciplinary action for class disruption by sending a private email to the instructor questioning her personal bias in lectures..... in an Argumentation and Debate course. As I found myself immersed in so much crazy I countered the gas lighting primarily with Professor Peterson and James Lindsay. Those who were specifically able to think through and speak about how we got here and where here is.

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying also top that list.

@@ImHandlingIt The video of Brets experience and the unfolding of the Diversity Inclusion Equity canoe expedition Evergreen was lost on, really validated my own sense of concern for the indoctrination level of Academia. None of my peers back those few years now, had any idea what I was talking about.

Time to punch back, I grew up in Boston bullies everywhere, 66 years old I don’t back down. Good lord gave me righteousness.

Many agree but would rather take the easy path.

Brilliant interviewer imho

Imagine if his “enemies” didn’t scream and attack but instead spoke and asked that same way. Intelligent and productive conversation would ensue.

@@Adrian_Estando God forbid eh!..🤷🏼‍♀️…It feels to me, like an intelligent exchange of ideas is impossible for them. He’s on to them, & they know it! Why else would they attempt to shut him up? ..✌🏼🇨🇦

Being an "average guy" already makes you A LOT more than nothing.

@@paulgarden3818 And technically, nothing is ''nothing''.

Unfortunately we live in a time where common sense is rejected as "racist", etc.

Me too

To bad “common sense” isn’t common!

Amen to that 🙏🏽

This is before he had the withdrawals from benzos, but he did make his first public speech at a University not long ago. He is feeling much better.

@@nathanallen7596 I hope he stays sober. But the way he went to get sober makes me know he's weak. He preaches what makes him money.

If this interview is recent Jordan is looking good and healthy. Live long Jordan Peterson. You're a very important person to all mankind.

@@marksauck8481 why?

@@mattmattmatt6700 The way you describe it suggests to me you don't know what happened.
