Jeez i often feel so much better for hearing this man speak, as much as we're in disagreement on some of the most fundamental ideas about how humanity should be organised i.e. religion... he has some amazing knowledge to share and speaks so much sense. People that are afraid of listening to him because of a couple things he believes don't sit well with their frames of reference, are better off not looking into this stuff at all and probably ought to keep their opinions to themselves, because they clearly struggle with logic. If they find a couple of opinions so frightening that they can't see the value in learning and appreciating all the stuff that does make sense... that's just beyond me. People have too much of a stage, unregulated social media is toxic af.
user name taken Something I perhaps didn’t put clearly enough and should correct is “so afraid of some of his views that they can’t identify with any of them”... or at least, so afraid that they increasingly meet anything he’s about to say with apprehension, bad faith, and form a bias against the idea. And that people should work on that discomfort and their open-mindedness before partaking in world debates, because their views are clearly incoherent. It leads to shutting out views that one would otherwise agree with, this creates cognitive dissonance. Ultimately it increases a persons propensity for rage and rhetoric opposed to rationale and dialectic.
Wow, I don't know if having studied psychology makes this so amazingly well- explained and easy to digest or if it is like that for everyone. I'm guessing it varies after reading these comments, but he is the most cogent lecturer on these topics that I've ever come across.
Elizabeth Lang I haven’t studied psychology, but he really has a way with metaphors and making these concepts relatable. I really think he’s a true educator, down to the root.
@@jur1297 Yea, that is great! I would search the topic for your current class/ section under Dr. Peterson's lectures (unless you have your own phenomenal Professor), because i discovered him post-grad. Had i found him during my undergrad it would have made the more complex topics so much easier to understand as apposed to creating acronyms to memorize theories.
I have a bachelor of science in psychology and addiction. It’s so refreshing to listen to the things I studied. Thanks Dr. for your intense commitment to sharing your knowledge with us! Blessings 🙏
@Stephen Rose, does your name go together, I mean Stephen is a man's name and Rose is a woman's name. I could be wrong...... And yeah, precisely speaking, Peter is a heck of a guy.
@@Bobby007D LOL, yes, I've witnessed the living dead on the streets of California as well. Miraculously, they seem to have upended logic and the laws of physics.
Truth is as long we are alive we will face rejection we will face disappointment we will disrespect we will face all the shit that society has we will have to face pressure we will be hurt we will be disappointed only way to deal with it is accept it you can't run away from it and you can't deny it
I think that was regarding how upset you SHOULD get, not what actually determines it (tho it certainly plays a part either way). To see, start watching around the 3 minute mark
What Determines Your Level Of Stress & Anxiety: The nature of the event (proportional to the expected value of time/effort needed to solve the problem) neuroticism competence/social capital (because knowing how to solve a problem and knowing someone who knows how to solve it can be considered identical)
Obstacles.... negative emotions.... distress .... level of importance of goal.... amount of time and energy.... NEUROTICISM..... anxiety... competence.... problem solving status among other people.... Belief systems protect you against death and anxiety....
@@wardenwei4653 he literally tells people to get medicated if they need it. He had to take benzos because he believed his wife was dying. Why are you a shitty person? Honest question
@@joshuablair252 then you might have seen the consequences of ssri on him...... Joshua if your mum dies then this means to take benzos, everytime when someone dies? What about all of his wisdom to take drugs when face difficult situations....... Love for Ekhart Tolle , Robin sharma, Dr Jeffrey Schwartz and various other teachers for showing the right direction, not this "Joshua peterson shit"......
I never understood why even when i was overseas and met people who were having fun relaxing and chilling , i Couldnt do the same! It annoys me so much! Why cant i just chill and not care like normal people?
The status and self esteem are not always correlative, there’re so many famous and talented people who took their lives for one reason or another, their social status didn’t help them to feel better about themselves
All RU-vid vids have ads now. No longer a choice of the uploader. But pretty awesome that Jordan doesn’t seem to care and is just glad people are watching.
How can I expect satisfaction reward when it appears I have to give up and let it go after a huge injustice towards me and causing me to lose everything? Should I expect any joy really, I’m trying to hold myself together with my head high and shoulders back but I’m still going down
There are 3 major crisis in people's lives. Being sacked, being evicted and the break up of a relationship but sometime these 3 things are related and can come all at the same time.
@bruce nenke serious medical issues can easily a much bigger crisis than what you mentioned. You’ll understand once you get a serious one, and all of a sudden a relationship is no longer possible.
@@user-md6tq3oo1h I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardio-mypopathy 3 years ago due to a virus (flu). pre-existing condition sleep apnoea and I am in my 50's but I embraced that crisis. You're right though, that is another life-changing crisis.
What if one accepts a punishment because not accepting the punishment may mean having to change your life or life conditions that you like. The status quo is perceived as better than the alternative.
I'm assuming you're referring to "accepting a punishment" which is not cruel or harmful to someone. In reality, I think the status quo is whatever lifestyle I can achieve consistently, to survive comfortably. So whatever the alternative is, if it's better than what you have and you need more, then go for the better alternative. You can always fall back to what was working before.
@@petereastman2663 so like the equivalent to an abusive relationship... There are a few answers. Well, this is the hard answer - you can look at it from the others perspective, that they act like this out of deep internal pain that they may not even know about. Genuine, truly fearless and resentment-free compassion and understanding can turn it around, with you acting from that place. I know people who have done it and have continued to have a good relationship with the other person without any more hardship. But that is difficult to achieve because you have to change your perspective in the face of these challenges. It's possible though and can be rewarding. You've probably tried this - speaking to the person and trying to change the situation that way. It's easy to get caught in the emotions of it and they may say things that trigger you, so to be effective you'll have to maintain a level head. Chris Voss offers good tools for negotiation, check out his RU-vid (he was an ex hostage negotiator lol. Great guy. Saved people from beheadings with his simple techniques). The above two are longer term plans for solutions. Another answer is to just continue living like that, with no significant changes. The below are more immediate solutions that require a different kind of change. Another is to set up a plan to move away. Discretion may be advisable, you can judge that. I've seen other people jump ship on a whim and then bounce around from place to place for a while. Personally I would suggest have a plan in place so you know what you're doing, where you're going. A plan will also help keep you together mentally, with purpose, and the people who support you will see this conviction and are more likely to offer more help. That's not a guarantee, but a probability. The last option is to just jump ship with no plan. You may bounce around for a while, may be homeless for a bit, may not be, you're kinda leaving it to fate to decide. There's ways to do it though I think those are the main options. Lashing out and fighting back... I tend not to recommend that. That leaves more emotional pain for everyone and could lead to worse things. I've had big blow outs - they've changed a fundamental point I was unhappy about because I then went and made that change, but it also left a year or two of extra issues to resolve because of HOW I went about it. So stay or leave, both have ways where you can take a better handle of the situation.
@@petereastman2663 I'm glad you're on the other side of it. I've found it can take a while to recoup from these things, but as cliche as it sounds, it can also make you stronger.
How anxious should we be about COVID-19 ? No problem solving skills, no network ? Yes, I pray. It's not neurotic to do so. God is the solution and your friend. 🙏 for an end to the virus. Amen.
You could stock on food, medicines, water... You will be less anxious if you are prepared. RU-vid channels recommendations: PeakProsperity MedCram Dr. John Campbell
Saved by Grace definitely a good thing. He’s spoken a lot on how his diet has helped him not only lose weight, but significantly improve his mental health
SimplyMyselfication My comment went over your head apparently. Nowhere did I say I didn't understand what he said. My comment, accurately understood, means that he says things in a convoluted manner. I.e word salad.
