JORDAN PETERSON | Your Two MOST DESTRUCTIVE Attitudes 

You should have ended this clip before he mentioned "The Road To Wigan Pier". Now I want to hear the rest.

To paraphrase, I believe the line goes, "It is not the case that socialists love the poor. They simply hate the rich"

Systen means multiple truths at the same time, the real problem is that sometimes your truth is not included in the system, but that doesn't means that you need to deny the truth of others so they can focus on you problems only. This is narcissism, 'only my truth has value'

i'd rather sit on a couple of millions not knowing what to do with than not having a penny but knowing how to make good use of a few thousands.

nasenpropfen But that million can easily vanish if you’re not smart.

​@@Anonymous-ue3fz it probably would but i wouldn't regret a thing.

We are all screwed up. Stay humble.

I can relate..

Always love yourself remember that

myself; but its for the best. lol

And into the rabbit hole we go . . .

So the key of happiness is wanting nothing ?

@@aclock2 or maybe it is by wanting more, we’re humans after all and we are greedy. But I don’t think this our case here, I think that our mindset changes a lot every week.. we’re new people every year, what I’m saying is that our goals develop when we live. We’ll just keep editing our goals by just living! And if we’re driven by fear our goals would be a lot more meaningful because we fear what will happen to us if we just didn’t care and just stopped doing anything meaningful

sometimes, it's easier said than done

Maria Alano yup. On one hand you want to be graceful and empathetic, on the other hand you dont want to be taken advantage of. Theres nothing like being gracefull to someone only to have them take advantage of you

@@mariaalano3077 it's like any other skill there is. It requires practice. Small steps at first.

Becoming more gracious has been a lifelong project. I learned how to be graceful with disciplining my kids. I never left them resentful.

Nietzsche was against humility as it is a virtue of slave morality and celebrates mediocrity. Ego has a positive utility if you can master it (self-mastery) and harness it in a productive and creative manner. Conversely, if you are are slave to your ego (herd morality) then you will be resentful (ressentiment- what Jordan is talking about in this vid) and take revenge on others through destructive manifestations. People of the herd (mob) then hide this insidious intent behind their "humility".

Completely agree with that. Jordan's trying to help as many individuals as he can, and politicans do the exact opposite. They focus on groups, and the interest of THOSE groups, not the expression of individuality.

Like most issues, take it or leave it. JP is fairly concerned and knowledgeable of the workings of the world. Could I find one politician that can or does present the same transparency and with effect. Polititions have people power. JP has has people and they develop freely from any guise. 🙏 I'd even go as far to celebrate his birthday 'Party' 🤭

That's what I think, too. Every time I come across an article or comment mocking him personally, or attempting to point out the 'flaws' in his arguments. These are the people he talks about and they are so deeply entrenched in their positions that they will attack anyone who threatens them. I hope he is well and will come back soon.

He's human, but an incredible inspiration for sure

@Psychonaut yes, they are mostly dull ineffective people waiting for command instructions and Netflix to function about.

I hope you've made more steps in your healing journey, friend. It's not easy, but I hope you've found your peace.

I like your awareness. I have found that in order to succeed at something this hard is to get really excited about the new habits and get really turned off by the old habits. This is achieved by listening to people who have succeeded in the same area and are Enthusiastic about it. And by learning about the human body and how awesome it is to have it working well. I remember getting excited that I wasn't wasting time smoking anymore. I could use that time to learn something. I remember getting excited that my life was becoming more productive. I got excited when I began learning about the ketogenic diet (Atkins) and then excited that my physical energy increased to where I wanted to be physically active. Life became more enjoyable because my body was healthier and more energetic. My brain worked better because I no longer ate sugar or carbohydrates. I was no longer wasting time or money on cigarettes. I began to hate cigarettes and love health. I was very grateful to God for this change in perspective.

@Psychonaut he's a human being. Not a robot. You need to be a bit more open minded .....

@Psychonaut we are all vulnerable. We are all susceptible to outside persuasions. Of course he knows the danger of benzos. He's not an idiot. However, at times, anyone that succumbes to a high degree of personal turmoil or pain will seek help. Are 6ou saying because he's a clinical psychologist that he should be immune or at least reject the idea of help through medicine?? He is a doctor too remember. How has he conducted himself, in a way that contradicts what he says? He has never claimed to be immune or perfect to life's challenges. His wife became very ill, his child has had multiple illnrsses. As you said he is a clinical psychologist, they too need debriefing and decompression as to deal with the weight of their work. I get out quite a lot, I am not just a thumbnail on a social media site. I have lived and died many times during my journey. I realise the fragility of humans, their defects as well as their attributes. And just because you're well educated, well financed, well supported does not mean you superhuman. If you put him on a pedestal and felt he is a fraud when showing human vulnerability , then that is your misinterpritation and not his downfall. Every man has a weakness or many weaknesses. That is an assumption though. You may very well be the perfect human being....

@Psychonaut subconsciously you have. He shouldn't do this, shouldn't do that. He's a clinical psychologist. No he's human first and foremost. Yes many people act one way, others act another. We are individual. That is his journey. Maybe after years of stress and pain he chose anti anxiety medication, as do many of us that suffer with anxiety. I wouldn't be so quick to defame someone that speaks so much sense and knowldge. Can you honestly say that any man that has walked the earth, has been without weakness, self doubt or persecution? Ghandi was racist, Mandela too. Hitler was a psychopath, Genghis khan wiped out 10% of the world's population. Churchill was racist, the list goes on and on. He often speaks of the shadow. This period is his shadow coming to the front. I dont worship the Man. I see his vulnerabilities the same as you do. The difference is o won't hang him out to dry because he came to a pinnacle in his life that didn't quite fit what people held him to.

@Psychonaut Getting out of addiction is a sign of strength. You sir, look on negative instead of both sides of the coin. Close minded?

@Psychonaut The issue with your assumption with me being uneducated and inexperienced is first of all a fallacy, second of all he did not prescribe himself medication he was on. He was given a prescription, multiple prescriptions actually. On another note, what exactly was your contribution and demonstration on what resilience is for the world compared to Jordan? I sure can name a couple of things that he did, and he did them despite the circumstances he and his family was in. Your turn

I am not resentful towards people who have money, i am tired of people who are not gracious or thankful. I would never envy that life. I pity it. Money does not autimatically bring kindness or grace. I have met people who do not make you feel beneath them. They instruct and guide. That is priceless, but very difficult to find. Only true leaders can encourage and groom future leaders who have dignity and grace. When people become leaders they do not groom future l leaders, because they are too worried they are going to be better than them. It all stems from incompetency and not wanting to see others get ahead too. They do not want you to possibly do better than them. Spoiled children.

My ex husband had those both in shed loads

So then me and my ex. Lol

@@nobs7818 Not sure that 's so true. Some people 're aware & observant. Most 're not & will argue till d day dey die when faced with sensible things. Esp, if dey come from an uneducated background or people who don't value learning. Have met many people from certain backgrounds who despite having high IQs , degrees & college -educated parents , are still illogically stubborn. Quite unbearable dealing with dem.

I said no to that. it wont last its an illusion and even if it wasn't it is not for me.

I needed this comment. Thank you Wisconsin farmer❤

@@kmking5600 your wisdom will be great one day.

There’s nothing wrong with self compassion. Many people have sad pasts, and it’s only healthy for them to acknowledge and view them as such. It’s fear and anger that create problems. And only when we don’t learn to let them go for our own sakes.

@@Catlady-mw4en I agree, you are talking about self pity.

True. There’s a reason the most cringe, repeated quotes are the most popular. Because they have the most meaning and are true.

Yeah like “All learning is remembering”

@Link Age Why do you think that? Genuinely interested to know

@Link Age You seem to know how to it and people can learn how if they don't know. It's like the use of any other tool, you learn how. You obviously care otherwise you wouldn't have posted

@Link Age It seems we agree then. You're just calling the knowledge the 'tool' rather than the money. I could rephrase my last post with your definitions and it would be the same. I don't understand what you mean by "I know life is in this vital knowledge, but it's not for everyone."

Woah

Truly, Kurt Cobain ended Nirvana's sucess by the second album. Fundamentally he had no objective concern to embrace popularity and sucess, but might have attempted to sell his soul to achieve it. Generally I get the message that money and resentment don't mix, wheras poverty and aspiration should. But the attitude and character of resentfulness is mind numbing and inhibittive to about 95 to 100%.

@Rebecca Elizabeth …or only to find out later in life that none of those things lead to happiness, or satisfaction.

Akr. All men except for the most lucky ones are resentful, society and women judge us for things we can't control, like height for example. You would have to be incredibly stupid to just accept it as a given and move on.

@@nihilism6226 Yea well said. We have to silently carry our resentments but not let it bias our judgment towards others

@@nihilism6226 Like society and men judge women.

It can turn out to be a good thing if you know how to control it. Those 2 is the shadow, and it can generate a lot of energy if you can discipline enough and negotiate with it.

@@Habasmall93 Yes, you can always turn it into something good/positive and better yourself and those around you. I've been very arrogant and resentful in large parts of my life as well. But that should not come off as a surprise when you've been bullied as a child wherever you moved, the friends you got along the way just held you down not up, and so many just want to ruin your success/achievements along the way. So yeah, pretty hard NOT to be resentful in this world but you have to deal with it and always seek out the best way and opportunities for yourself.

I agree. Came to the same conclusion many years ago.

Yes, indeed. The wrong doer is usually the one saying why can't you just forgive and forget or enablers.

It’s bigger than just personal experiences. He’s speaking on a macro level. If you haven’t already had experiences that lead you hanging on by a thread then it’ll be difficult to understand what he’s getting at. And if you haven’t experienced it yet, you will. Inner peace is different from not having a unimaginable horrid experience(s). We can’t have legitimate peace (which I’d argue only comes from God) without working inside difficulty. If not, it’s just naivety.

When you wish something for others, but don't do anything, yet make sure to exclaim it...it is done for you. Your inner peace is really a cowardly selfish blandness. I wish you great turmoil.

Yeah.

Mmm. I think you're right there. ...the best antidote to resentment is, I think, getting your ideas and perspective in order... and for that, J.P. is an absolute... damn it this man is a LIFESAVER.

That's brutal. Props to you for enduring it. I probably wouldn't be as strong-willed. A car accident is too quick. It's terrifying how much of an effect it has for the rest of one's life. And you were a passenger too. I bet that made the injury even harder to swallow. Since there is literally someone else to blame other than yourself. That sucks... But it's also true that we only make it worse by being resentful.

Amen sister! All good things begin with, us turning to God and putting our trust in Jesus. Then, gratitude and humility are beautiful gifts of God. 🙂

People who don't put the work in don't know at all. They see the results and assume it's easy. Its not. I tell my daughters that all the time and effort you put in alone, late nights, early mornings...the sacrifices you bear to do better...THAT'S what matters. The jealous will never see that. And who cares about them. Ignore them.

Well, first of all resentment won't help. You have some control over your emotions and which you enable and help to thrive. But, if you're playing the corporate game, there are certain things that come with it. Like hierarchies and arsehole managers. Playing political games. Abuse of power. Waste and inefficiency. Nepotism. Bullying. But becoming resentful of these things is like playing chess and resenting the fact that pawns can't move sideways. That's how it is. If you can't stand it, do something else with your life instead. Spend your emotions on things that really matter, like your friends and family, or being the best person you can be. You aren't going to change corporate life.

@@jrd33 👏🏾👏🏾well said!

Obviously you have other issues at hand.

@@livinglife4835 I mean, there still is some issues in the USA. Like, a single mom working 3 bad paid jobs and has to live with her brother because she can´t afford anything else isn´t exactly fair pay. In Germany, there is a minimum amount calculated for each person to live correctly. If you work , but it pays too less, they will give whatever is missing to achieve the minimum limit (someone working low paid job might just need 100-200€ a months but it can make a big difference). Here, no one ends up on the streets because they lost their job or can´t afford a rent. The only homeless you´ll see are either people who have such an addicition and weren´t willing or able to treat it, or have a very serious mental illness and so don´t take care of their paperwork or don´t go to their appointment with the job center. I wouldn´t say countries like Germany, Sweden and such are not successful countries.

In the UK, social housing is available for rent. The housing is owned by the councils (government) and is very affordable. If you are on a low wage, you get a discount on your rent. There are also private landlords, but they are very expensive and are usually poor quality. We have a pretty good welfare system where the poorer, or poorly paid, are helped out and are able to get housing.

@@charlottemadadi The U.S. has a negative income tax, so anyone earning below the poverty rate (based on number of dependents) will receive a tax refund to bring them just above the poverty level. People make bad choices, and anyone with children who needs to work 3 jobs and is at or below the poverty level has made bad choices. Those are the situations for which welfare should exist. To help her learn a skill so she can get a better paying jobs

You need to find a different, better paying job, or move to a location with lower housing costs. This is a situation faced by many low and middle class workers at some point in their lives. The cause is inflation.

That & stubbornness coupled with a great amount of blissful ignorance. These people cause untold grief to others, esp, their spouses. Stupid & aggressive.

Well I'm in a situation at work where people who have less experience and have spent less time in the business are being given beneficial work opportunities not privy to other workers, who have more experience and have been there longer. I admit I feel resentful that I was overlooked but also other people in my situation have been overlooked too. I would be happy for people who are in my situation be given the opportunities even if I missed out - but am resentful that someone inexperienced has been gifted the opportunity purely due to being chummy with certain people. How does one approach or should approch such a situation? I'm not resentful due to lack of personal gain as I'd be quite happy for someone more experienced to have be given the opportunities

No government can make miracles.

That’s a silly thought; Government is not responsible for producing resources at all. The parents are responsible for all those “resources”. Lemme ask you, where do people come from? Who are responsible for those people?

Through social safety nets governments can reduce the likelihood of people becoming poor due to life events such as illness, incapacity to work, death of breadwinner, divorce, etc. A lot of countries in Europe have this systems in place and they work. The premise of a series like breaking bad, for instance, wouldn't make sense for them, because being a teacher with a disabled child and another in the way wouldn't mean a financial disaster in their country.

@@sailemartini5902 the government is responsible for collecting taxes and for assigning those resources. From a social and political science perspective, I don't get your point

He isn’t the originator of that thought however.

Yeah Peterson should stick to psychology, everything else he tries to talk on is just really bad opinion being passed off as truth

Yes

Such a Karen statement

Would that be linked to resentment? Not challenging you, but just asking a question.

Thank you. These supposedly calm and together people want others to be same, despite what may be going on. Sheep hate nonsheep.

He says in another lecture that you should NOT be taking notes in class. You should listen to the whole lecture, actively process it intellectually, and then write down what you took from the lecture. For that, you might think about key words in lieu of a systematic transcription. He thinks in clusters of ideas around a central node. Resentment ---> privation -----> intellectual arrogance ---> resentment by intellectuals ---> intellectuals siding with workers to mask their resentment of power and wealth. Transcription is what most students do anyway, since they probably didn't do the assigned reading before the class and have no matrix in which to place it. Better to listen and get the whole lecture than to continuously take down bits and shreds while missing the next information.

You could skip all his political and mythical talks to begin with. Unless he has the nerve to ask you to repeat his personal opinions.

, more difficulty...he won't let you do that. 🤨
