To everyone who doesn't understand why this was uploaded, Nina is an artist who's fighting copyright laws. All her videos get taken down. She wants her videos to he spread to fight this. I believe this is what Jordan Peterson is trying to help. Edit: just to clarify, Nina makes the animations all by herself, the music is from various songs that she purposely puts in to fight copyright laws.
Love ya JBP, you’ve saved my life and tens of thousands of others. You have no idea how you speaking out now is changing the next generation of men for the better. God bless you.
Except for his views on the Palestinians. How can they play victim when the Israelis literally destroy their homes and trees which they rely on produce such as olives. God will either send him to Hell or Heaven depending on him as an individual on his actions.
Harry Vickers There's one problem with Jordan. He curses God constantly. Go figure. Watch ru-vid.com. Don't think he is a Christian. Far be it, just another anti religious human.
MrMeesyo Lool true. But for me personally I never believed God was *solely* loving. There was many aspects to his personality. Loving, Compassionate, Merciful but at the same time Commanding, Disciplining Avenging etc...
Jazzy, funky, gypsy Czardas with a singing style reminiscent of Tom Waits.. Mythological animations about the tragedy of mortality.. with references to sceneries from the book of the dead.. the cycle of death depicted like an assembly line.. the leviathan of chaos.. It belongs right here.
will1am618 I reread the description a number of times and I still do not see anything about JBP being the voice of death in the video. Where are you seeing it? Because I really want to know if it’s him or not. But Nullius in verba and all.
again it didn't tell THE story, or any story come to that. Stories generally have a beginning, middle and end with some kind of character development. No beginning explaining why smearing of the blood on the door posts and the first born dying. A singing skeletal angel of death?! with lyrics that aren't related to the biblical story. And a finish that stops with Egyptians going to a mythical afterlife instead of to Hell and the actual end which should have been with the Jews being set free along with their cattle, sheep and belongings.Don't get me wrong its artistic and musical - like an MTV music video?- but as THE story it certainly didn't tell it.
Ed deSa ...facts don't care about your feelings....ever hear that before? Maybe art is too much for you to handle? Seriously .. this one is obviously too much for you to handle. Art is a story. This piece of art has multiple stories and some that the artist only sees. Very Biblical and historical...but yes again ..Cool way of telling THE story....Ed try learning about art a little more ...maybe read the Bible and history ...you might just get it...listen to the artist speak about it...maybe just maybe you can glimpse the concept...it's called art...let it go
Yes heard it so many times usually used by people that don't hear the irony in them saying it to someone else: a little self awareness would have alerted you to the fact that YOU are the one who said "I like it" "Cool..." ...that's all about your feelings. In contrast I was merely correcting your assertion that this clip told a story -it's an indisputable FACT that it doesn't, and I even explained why. Can you please explain how "Art is a story"? To my knowledge Art is NOT a story, but a story can be art in itself and also can be conveyed through the medium of art. Edward Gibbon, author of "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," identified five marks of the decaying cultures that are ready to collapse: 1) art becoming freakish and sensationalistic 2) widening wealth inequality 3) increased demand to live off the state; 4) concern with displaying affluence instead of building wealth; and 5) obsession with sex and perversions of sex. I'll let you decide whether the West fits these criteria especially as regards the first. Considering I visit 3 of the World's best art galleries EVERY month I wouldn't say art is too much for me to handle. In fact I've always had a passion for drawing and painting even as a child but due to other life and career choices I now only appreciate rather than create. Just as anyone who has tried to master any skill one does develop the ability to appreciate the effort put in and recognise what is actually good and lets say politely not so good, just as someone who has learnt to play a musical instrument would be able to differentiate the sound made by a beginner compared to a master of that instrument. This talk by Robert Florczak makes this point clearly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lNI07egoefc.html . Since you're suggesting I educate myself you should be pleased that in fact I have but still do. I have attended numerous talks on Christian Art and sculpture (run mainly by my Catholic church ru-vid.com/show-UCyOG6vBwGOHHf9Si9jE2PVQvideos) and watched many more online. As a cradle Catholic I have read the real (Catholic) Bible and as part of my studies on Theology, and the history of Christianity have also read the equivalent texts in the Tanakh. I'm certainly keen to always learn more about EVERYTHING. Perhaps if you had studied the Bible as I have and appreciated art especially creative art then maybe you wouldn't have been so condescending and rude but understood the point I was making: if the purpose was to convey THEE biblical story it failed because it got the story wrong! and technically it did not even tell a story because its incomplete. However if its purpose was to be aesthetically striking then as I stated it certainly was - much more akin to an MTV video especially with the music and a Death character singing but it's definitely wrong to say it told "thee story" - not according to the Bible it didn't!
Holy Cow!!Coming into this room to have a Jordan's lecture but have this funny music playing before class. It is great to have this as a lullaby that it is long enough to make me asleep before this lecture. Guess Prof is asleep as well or he got an important phone call...... That is kind great to have a musics somehow.:)...................... STF................................
The symbolism in this video went over my head a lot, despite how much I've tried to read; but I can tell that a lot of it was absolute spot perfect. A sea of infinite dragons after death for instance. Also the crocodile creature wasn't random, that's Ammit. They're weighing a feather against the dead person's heart, a judgement after death idea--All that is canonical. Lot's of mandalas. The scarab by the way is the Self that Peterson talks about (something about them passing on the dung-ball to their offspring so it looks like a continuating death-rebirth). Snake'd flying women raising a red sun? No clue, but probably something sick
It is 5:15AM local time. I'm putting on the teapot in a few minutes and will share this with my sweetie while we enjoy our Earl Grey. What a delight! Thank you!
Wow I stay slack jawed at the amazing animation work on display here. Such great symbolism at work, takes a few times watching it threw to seep in. Interesting how it shows how the Jews only had to sacrificing a single lamb to escape the punishment bestowed on all of Egypt. Makes me think of the lectures you had on the importance of sacrifice in our daily lives, in sacrificing the expedient for the benefit of future prosperity. Then how not doing so leads to us down the path to hell, or in other words leading us into the wraith of God. Especially love the angle of death, he has almost a mexican day of the dead vibe about him.
The passing of individuals is only tragic when the lessons they taught us are forgotten and forsaken. Preserve history and preserve the lessons of those past.
Stunning. In the interview, Dr. Peterson remarks the soothing nature of the animation even if the content displayed is violent and cruel. The beauty stems from the rithm of the animation - it always stays true to the song.
I find this animation quite surreal but also fascinating. It encapsulates the essence of mythology nicely and at the same time feels contemporary and interesting in a unique way.
This is pure art as JP describes it. Who cares the artists' radical world views -- there was no propoganda in this rendition -- at all. Let the art stand on its own. Critisize the person outside their gifts.
Wow, it's so good. Makes me wonder; I've never heard Jordan talk about death or the afterlife ever, I assume because he's very pragmatic, but it would interest me to know his thoughts on it. He seems to apply everything religious to how to live your life, fair enough, but perhaps the largest value in religion is to be at peace with death and to sacrifice temporary suffering to be at one with God. Meaning certainly seems to point towards a greater purpose which I would assume transcends life.
Vincent Jacobs Secrets belongs to God, and afterlife might just be the biggest secrets of all. God has given us more than enough to find him in life, and to meet him in death, but it's not productive to dwell on what happens after you die. Those who do tend to live their lives like a funeral, which are never happy occasions.
Exodus 1:22 So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son (of the Hebrews) who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”
First-rate animation! Also, first-rate comments section. I don’t know any of you, probably, but feels lovely to be in the company of so many brilliant, educated, thoughtful, and attractive (I’m sure) people with a terrific sense of humor. Dr. Peterson - you bring out the best of, and in, us!
+Derpy Nugget This video and also the Metallica song "Creeping Death" are both about the final plague, the death of the firstborn, from the Book of Exodus.
"" So fragte denn Hermes den Zeus, auf welche Art er Gerechtigkeit und Besonnenheit an die Menschen verleihen solle.

Genius, been following Nina Paley since 2012. And what's even crazier is that your brain on DMT generates such cartoons on the go real-time, with seemingly astounding significance and meaning.
@@karlmarx8719 well, he did talk about using shrooms, and he does talk about DMT like someone who has tried it. He mentioned McKenna, as well as Gordon Wasson, Mircea Eliade... and of course Jung all the time. This screams - I'm doing psychedelics :D
