Jordan Peterson: Who is God? | Lex Fridman Podcast Clips 

Dont give him that much credit lol

Well said! 🤣

More of a warlock but yes

Awwww, that's a bit harsh! What I love about Lex is his willingness to open his heart and mind in the pursuit of knowledge, love and connection. He's always learning and evolving with great humility and integrity x

So basically, Dr Strange explains extradimensional energy to Vision..

Like “Spirit is a pattern”…. What an elaborate and clever sounding bunch of boloney. This guy is one of those phonies we as a society will never be able to weed out as the snakeoil salesman he is. He is too clever for the average man. Any criticism of this guy’s discourse, logic or opinions requires such a deep understanding of logic and language that he will more than likely go unchecked indefinitely. Tip of the hat for this guy, really. He found a niche in rightwing speaking circles and the right-wing media ecosystem that he blended in immediately and he will milk it until the end of times, given his language skills and mastery of sophistry.

What is ego death?

There's a great video of him and Camille Paglia having one of these really heavy conversations-you might like it. She's brilliant as well.

If you ever really find out, would you be so kind and tell me what this convo was all about?

@subtext miner Peterson is renowned for its reification errors.

life is feedback,to interact,God loves this...in a Good way.We are part of him.Interact each to other is a way to dont think about existence,and to forget that all beigns are one.The source,the creator.Life is interaction.

You have a lot of privilege being a sheep. I'm just a Brown.

have to agree m8, even with people i like and respect, i find it quite disturbing that they are sold on certain ideas and am also sad to think of the time and energy wasted on the same.

Especially when we know that about 90% of theologians are only there because their parents were. And they were only because of where they were born, and so on. Then you have someone like Madonna who grows up Catholic, becomes the quintessential rebel sinner only to, once she has gotten it out of her 'heathenous' system, become a orthodox hebrew again.

@@noahschmartz2354 we should respect people that think differently, as long as they’re not forcing their delusions on us. No one actually knows the truth. So be humble

Who could take anyone seriously who shows up to an intellectual conversation and claims that the universe and the fabric of reality itself just happened from nothing and nowhere for no reason and nothing caused it even though it was observably caused and purposed. Thats the atheist and they have a sense of intellectual superiority that is so hilariously undeserved.

Yes, and getting better quickly

he describes in this video worship as admiration and feeling the instinct to imitate. and you if you do not admire no one, and no one inspires you to be better, then you kinda are cynical. how can no one arouse respect and admiration? it's only natural to feel that way towards certain people that have certain traits. admirable traits. dictionary.cambridge: worship - to have or show a strong feeling of respect and admiration for God or a god. if it's for a person, then you can replace the latter with a person. to have or show a strong feeling of respect and admiration for a person

Stop being an atheist and evolve into agnostic. Being so absolute their is no god, is contradictive. But hey, vegans, navy seals and yourself can't help yourselves. Wouldn't it be so depressing knowing that it's impossible for anything to be after we die? Parallel universes is god theory, aliens too. Atheism is as useful as Islam. Stay bound!

@Marty McK ... Yeah, Marty; that and much, so much more. Everything, including Alchemy, and Sorscery, to learn what pitfalls there are and what CLEARLY to learn how and what, when, and why, to steer away from ...

I think its time you give up your atheism, its to clear and too self evident that God exists. I mean just ponder the nature of your own consciousness for a moment, who the hell are you to even observe self? Any other consciousness could have been the one bound to that body and every body that was ever born until that time was not your consciousness, then arbitrarily you're spawned into something called reality, floating in an endless dark void... There is just no way to understand experience itself as anything other than a creation and a creation by definition must be purposed and built from outside of itself. You and all things are clearly an intended creation, theres just no getting around it. Don't waste your life believing the notion its just some chemicals reacting, its impossible for consciousness to be an illusion, an illusion HAS to fool an observer, it can't fool itself, because the illusion of consciousness cant fool the a consciousness thats an illusion. You possess a body, making you a soul, this is not a cartoon where you're a winged translucent ghost that floats out of the body when you die, its unknowable reality we aren't equipped to understand because it extends beyond our reality, the reality that birthed ours.

Just a btw, calling someones perspective on God or religion "trivial topic" is such a disrespecting notion that you wouldn't believe it (pun intended). Important things for people are important for a reason. It is like calling the well being of your family a trivial matter, just because I personally don't know them or care about them.

As a new father, I sense a parallel phenomenon as my daughter stares at me and tries to, I imagine, understand

it's possible, in the sense that your brain is a very good computer for highly abstract systems. "abstract" in this case meaning symbolical and representational; is what language, our only tool that allows us to collectively understand phenomena, is after all (and that seems to be dependent on communication, a system that, by dependencies alone, seems to precede logic) but it's impossible in a different sense: all we can do to know is assign a symbol to God and define what does that symbol points to. it's possible because language itself features the possibility of a symbol of ambiguous meaning (to the point no word means one thing, hence contexts) but it's impossible, because in order to properly define a symbol we must consider everything the symbol encompasses, which seems like an impossible task for us when dealing with an all-encompassing symbol. we do it anyway, we approximate things all the time. considering all things, seems to be a property of language. logic seems like a flawed tool to deal with such problem in spiritual terms, if you consider "spirit" a path rather than your path, and God all paths by definition of "all-encompassing", even the ones that lead away from it. God, if all-compassing, also points towards what cannot be symbolized, therefore understood, with accuracy, and in that sense, faith is required to even generate the logical systems that allow you to believe, which is a bit of an anathema for logic. Where does it stop being what it is and starts being what we want it to be? It's a hard question for a computer specialized in abstracts to cleanly compute.

God could just make us understand him right?

You don't understand God's essence, you only can approach him through his energies.

@@obren100 Do you understand Gods essence? Can you elaborate?

"Two of our greatest minds" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Speak of your self! If this is the best you can do then this is the best you can do! Greatest minds 🤣🤣 wow

Really? So there's no such thing as air? Interesting. There was me thinking I was alive all these years by breathing air. Turns out the stuff doesn't even exist!

@@charliebridges3584 Air is measurable though… and very much can be interacted with in multiple ways.

who😅😂

@@replynotificationsdisabled well said

I’ve always found it interesting that the Bible and Science both agree that there was nothing and then there was something. I don’t think that’s nothing.

@@SnapnCrack That is the current position .

People need to stop looking at science as the antithesis to the concept of god. Science is just the measure of the playing field we are in. Plenty of scientist whom are religious or at least believe.

Big difrends who or what is god! And ego is the game! 😅 butt bevore god created the world nature! Is humanity part of nature or above nature! 🤔🤌

I’m pretty sure it’s already happened a while ago

You dont have to be Stupid GOD is the Positive Energy of the Universe you could say HEs Karma !! Yin an Yang !!

Dope

@@jaboris2536 👽

Have you answered that question for yourself yet ? “how is GOD”

🤔

😅

In reality they have no clue either. That is the reason the answers are so long and interwoven with humanities, philosophy, physics etc. Answer= God is the uncaused cause, without beginning and without end. At some point some power just was without a cause. The universe's and galaxies are limitless but they begun through a cause (big bang for example) but whatever caused the elements that caused the first bang to occur had no cause. Some power was first and that is God, the first power.

Neither of them has a clue. Perhaps Lex knows more because he does not pretend he knows it all. Peterson is into deepity 😜😁🤣

Why is that?

Then you have to explain for the existence of "energy" and then explain its ability to design, conjure and put into motion the mathematical dimension that becomes home to conscious souls. You're explaining energy as god but simply divorcing it from intelligence. Nothing from within our dimension or the dimension itself can be responsible for its own existence.

this is my way of ration for religion as well

An indifferent god is worse than no god at all. In the fullness of time, you will understand this.

they are having a conversation, not an interview. it was completely fine.

Sorry

So then you choose to remain a child of a Lesser God.

what do you mean over complicate? how can you over complicate the most complicated concept to exist?

"We can't be expected to understand him. He is so far above us. We are like ropes on the Good Year Blimp."

God is the author of the universe. The universe is part of God in a way, but it's not him. Author to book.

Gøöd point 😎👌

@@gofish7388 how can there be separation between the two? for example, is jordan petersons finger not also jordan peterson?

@@sprocastersprocaster no

@@billybobthekidiswack How no?

So morality is ultimately subjective? If everyone agrees that nazis weren’t bad so they actually weren’t. Hey we shape the God so we shape the morality also.

​@@nething94 Your Nazi example is given from our shared moral perspective. Looking at multiple cultures globally over a large amount of time we can see that yes, morality is subjective e.g. Viking culture justified child-sacrifice and welcomed death in battle. However, within a single culture morality is less subjective. Morality may change over many generations as it is developed, however, each iteration of that morality is believed to be objective. Even whilst changing, generations developing it perceive and live by it as though objective. When doctrine, canon and ritual are established morality it is even less malleable but it's still open to change re: the teaching of Jesus and/or the Protestant Reformation.

@@benvids Forget about Vikings or society in general. I’m asking you a question right now. Is killing for instance Jews, good or bad? If nazis won WW2 than what? That would be okay? lol

@@nething94 To answer your question, a second time, I think it would be bad only because I follow a morality that deems it bad. Murder of other peoples has not always been deemed bad, plenty of examples of God ordering an ethnic cleansing in the Old Testament.

@@benvids How can you judge Old Testament on what moral basis? Morality is subjective to you. There is no higher moral standard above us. It’s SUBJECTIVE.

Statement wrong. Alan Watts got it wrong

@@stoic_fathers Prove it

@@deanmccrorie3461 prove to me you're god 🤷‍♂️ can you give yourself eternal life? If not than it's wrong

@@stoic_fathers prove im god to who?

good one Adrienne

It's OK, we feel so bad for the people like you who can't see it.

God or not, I don’t get why people chase or search for a god to begin. The only exit door from here is death, if there is a god you can find out post death. Think it would do more to just help you’re fellow man, they’re stuck on this playing field with you. God in the end is not.
