My father taught me many of these concepts and it has served me well throughout my 74 years. Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager are truly a gift to humanity, as my father was a gift to me.
The fact that Jordan Peterson's humility, honesty, and depth of being can bring an old man like me to tears and touch my spirit make me so thankful that Jordan Peterson is on this planet.
About Facts I too am old and haven't unlimited time to mess around either. It is a fact that JP exists. To what, whom, or Whom are you thankful for his existence? You did not specify. Obviously JP had nothing to do with his own creation or conception. Do you feel thankful toward Fate, or the Big Bang, or nothing in particular? You do not sound like a total materialist, since you speak of having a spirit. This is encouraging. I hope that you are a Christian. But if not, please consult Jesus rather than JP. Jesus has done for us what no philosopher can do. (Romans 5:8) 'For God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.'
From a Muslim Middle Eastern , not that I use this as identity more like a proof, Peterson you have changed my life. I grew up in Saudi Arabia until the age of 20, and I was force fed all the toxic group identity doctrines you talked about. Now I feel free, you have freed me from all that. I have found a meaning to life. Thank you so much!
@Taqifsha Nanen schools, hospitals, science, organised charity for the poor, not perfect but a start... Man needs something to live for, otherwise the seduction of communism with its narrative of good and evil becomes attractive.. Only communism due to its secular nature is assumed to not need to be criticised... Alas a new religion has been born..
I thought Danis tried to outsmart Jordan but defeated by Jordan’s brutally humble and honest and as a matter of fact responses..! Hahaha. ! Dang..!!! Danis is just one of the boring old regular guys. I would not listen to his speech.!
I weep tears of joy hearing Jordan’s amazing wisdom and honesty. May God bless him with a full recovery to health and sustain him through all the many trials he is sure to endure.
Damn.... Just watched for the second time all the way through. I replayed several parts as I watched and the last 5 minutes just now. Tears were threatening... but your comment racked a sob out of me 😂😛 Not the first time I've shed a tear watching Peterson. Thank you for your comment. So true. When Dennis says he'll end on Peterson's last comment because nothing could be more powerful, I could accept that in the grander sense of Jordans contributions to my life and the world. But I really hope we don't have to. What a bright candle. The best often burn out quickly. But if Peterson can do what he has helped so many of us do, there will be more to come. Maybe this last year was a necessary Journey to the underworld.❤ I think Peterson came by his wisdom honestly from places of real darkness and pain. That's why we get what he has put together. Maybe there is an even bigger lesson seeing that someone who can express how to achieve meaning as well as he does can still succumb to the suffering and pain and malevolence of existence. As he says, ultimately we all do. Maybe his new level of suffering will inspire even greater Transcendence
@@jimbarth9859 I agree, I think his suffering during this last year probably pushed him more towards God. That's what suffering usually does, although sometimes it has the opposite effect. But I can tell he's closer to God now.
@@kodykj2112 it does I went through benzo and methadone withdrawals while I was in prison after my fiancé passed. That four years offered more insight and clarity then anything I could have imagined. I admired Peterson more after finding out about his struggles with Clonazepam.
I am a 50 year old Korean-American man, who witnessed his father slowly work and drink himself to death over 45 years. Your explanation of the Pinocchio parable healed me more than I can express. Thank God for you Dr. Peterson! You have made me a believer! ❤ 🙏
This testament here touched me to the degree I cannot even express. As a young man from a 3rd world country I have gone through a lot myself. Jordan Peterson is truly a gift from God!
Almost made me cry- such sincerity. “Only 200 people” signed a petition, how that didn’t destroy him emotionally speaks to his inner strength. Something similar happened to me in Grade 8, all the kids but one ganged up on me, conspired together to hurt me. Took years to get over it. So I learned very young that people in groups can be cruel. But I also learned that 1 person’s kindness can make the world of difference and make even the most wicked human acts somehow survivable.
Randy If by that you mean a man who has allowed God to shine His light deep into his heart, then yes he is a good man. Most good people know how how imperfect they are.
Humility is a trait of a good man too. I believe even a good man has the capacity for evil and the fact that he doesn't do evil things despite be capable of them is why he is good.
I just saw a video of him talking about his effecting change in people's lives and he had to wipe away tears and was choked up. Very sincere and humble
When we look out into the darkness at night by contrast we also see the billions of lights shining at us. That amount of matter and energy is incredible, especially in light of it all coming from one place at one time, in the Big Bang beginning where the eternal God said, "Let there be light." But the fine tuning of the universe is just as remarkably beyond impossible odds. To think from this one singular explosion of everything from apparent nothing we get perfect harmony of so many life sustaining variables, it's ridiculous without an intelligent designer.
I, me, describe what I see in the world with a metaphor, great darkness - my perception of nature as being in balance means there has to be a great light - therefore there is a God???????
I basically never cry. But this brought real tears in my eyes. Joran is as pure as a human can be, it overwhelms me when he cries. It really does something deep
In my lifetime, I've never known of a man as both earnest and culturally prominent as Jordan Peterson. And so totally courageous in pursuit of Truth. Lionheart... It lifts the spirit to observe such people.
I believe Alexey Navalny is such a man..... so let's all be reminded that it can go both ways. The inhumanity, malevolence and evil inherent in societies without free speech should terrify each and everyone of us.
I am with there. I have listened to JP a lot and had decided he was a good man. His 'belief' in a god I found disappointing, if I am honest. He is humble and infinitely thoughful and analytical. I love his statement of acting as if God exists. I think that's the closest to my feelings as a lapsed Roman Catholic and atheist for most of my 69 years.
Here’s why Peterson’s message works: 1. He talks about everything 2. He’s honest about it all, spills his guts even cries on stage 3. His analysis is clear and with good examples without scientific wording. 4. And then he tells us: his job is AS GOOD AS IT GETS!
I am so thankful for this man, Jordan Peterson. He is pouring out his tortured pursuit of the Truth and Meaning with such honest expression. He is a giant of our age.
What makes Peterson extraordinary is, he will sit on a stage, in front of anyone, and courageously examine the depths of his own soul, while most people I know are so fearful that, they won't even do that in the privacy and solitude of their own bedroom.
This was literally the best interview I've ever watched. Im a young person, only 19 turning 20 in six months, and the adult world has been so scary and overwhelming for me, much more than I thought it ever was and I know people my age or around my age who still think that the world cant hurt them and Im so glad that I've bucked up my ideas and I realize that I still have a lot to learn, Im also extremely grateful to have found someone like Jordan Peterson who I can learn from.
You're lucky to have discovered him so young. JP fell into my radar when I was around 28, I'm currently 31. And I'm literally starting to stop hating myself and to be aware of my own demons, learning to keep them at bay. I've battled depression and suicidal thoughts since I was 12, never sought help from any medical professionals due to the fact that it's a taboo issue in my country/ culture/ family.
I have applied Jordan's advice to my life for two years and it has been a blessing as the world becomes darker. Since you are young, consider checking out Dave Ramsey and his advice about money, specifically avoiding debt or how to get out if you're in it. All of us who pay attention to the world feel the fear you mentioned. That is why so many would rather live in blindness.
I second that. Jordan Peterson is the wisest person I have come to know in my short 13 years. This discussion brings hope back to a girl who forgot that darkness requires light to be properly examined and acknowledged.
"Wow!!" this guy blows my mind away!! All the comments below far exceed me for praise, but I'm so pleased this man is living on earth at the same time I am...
@@wmc9722 First I'd recommend at least one more listen. Your question and perhaps the way it is asked seems to hold a built in defeat, or perhaps nihilist undertones. Read the works of some of the names JP mentioned, I would add the stoics, If you're not a reader, You Tube is rife with these teachings. Get busy and build a life of good action, take risks in that endeavor, and if you have a loss, remember that loss is just change and change is nature's delight.Getting knocked down is a critical part of a rich life. Just remember to always get back on your feet. You can do it...You can live a life worth living.
@@lukula2934 Thanks for your words here, you went deep on a comment I made that was meant to be simple. Perhaps it is not. My life is full and rich with experiences borne of daily action. You're not consoling me in some time of need. I'm a person of action who can and does find desired target and then finds ways to hit them. You misread my intention and I thank you for your heartfelt words. I find a lot of people seem to be satified by a sort of mental marturbation and to them I ask, 'So what? What now?' Get ready for a bumby ride and make sure you have plenty of flashlights, batteries, and candles. I know you have much reading to do. Again: Thanks!
Except JP is citing some intellectual who is trying to find significance in "my God, my God why have you forsaken me" not realizing that Jesus was singing Psalm 22. And so JPs hermeneutical method is to remove the significance of the psalm and only pay attention to the words recorded.
@@johncollins8304 so shallow it is. Rather than trying to understand the crucifixion as 1st century jews and christians would understand "my God my God why hast thou forsaken me" I'm going to strip all context and reference and just look at the written historical words and draw an independent meaning.
@@TheChristianImperialist i thought the exact same thing. When the full context of the scriptures (all 66 books of the canon) are understood and believed through the Holy Spirit, the understanding of who Christ is can develop and grow in truth. Without the Spirit of God, it can only be understood as far as human reason will allow. I thoroughly love JP, but as a natural man his understanding of God's word cannot exceed what the flesh will allow, no matter how analytical and thoughtful those musings may be.
I've never seen JP tearing up like this before. Looking at the date of the video it ties in with some dark times for the man. Makes me respect him even more👍
It's not unusual. He often gets emotional when he talks about the positive responses and stories of lives turned around that he hears from people. It obviously means a lot to him.
I view the recent dark period Peterson experience as a crisis in his Faith. Peterson has seen behind the veil and I'm sure, into the many dark minds of his patients. He didn't like what he saw and it's shaken his belief in God. As an Atheist, perhaps I recognize this quite starkly because I moved to a position of a non-believer because of what I have seen and experienced. That and the fact that Science can neither prove (Or disprove) the existence of a God. I always say this to Believers - "Extraordingary Claims require Extraordinary Evidence".
@@james_tiberius_kirk73 If you're looking for extraordinary evidence just go out side and look around. Look at the sky at night. Look at and into yourself. All the evidence you need is right there.
@@wormwood078 Whilst I respect your view and will never condemn you for it (And as a fellow Human Being I love you) that is not evidence I'm afraid. Peace.
Jordan Peterson once said, that he takes the audience of who he's speaking to on a journey with him as he speaks through things. I think that's why he's so popular. Although his intellect is off the charts, he talks with you not down or at you. Authenticity and vulnerability is all too rare in the public forum. This gives you hope in humanity. Get well!
A stumbled across JP at 17 when a part of his lecture was in a video about how to get girls. Finding JP and reading his book had nothing but a positive impact on me. Mainly, I discovered the podcasting world where I’m able to learn from people like him, Joe Rogan, Jocko Willink, and Andy Stumpf, people which continue to improve my life everyday. Overall, I haven’t gotten the girl, but I did clean my room, started martial arts, read a bunch of books, improved my family relationships, and began to understand myself like never did before. JP was the catalyst to that domino effect, and I can’t thank him enough.
Good job man! The girl will come don't worry. Building yourself into a high quality man will inevitably attract high quality people into your life. Keep it up 👍💪
Keep up the good work. What you're doing is preparing yourself to be the right man for the right girl. (Which is arguably far more important.) She's coming. And with any luck, at this moment she's preparing herself for you too.
Jordan Peterson saved my life. He may never know it, and I may never be able to thank him...but his words, his message, and his passion for helping others helped me to slay the dragon in the underworld...and claim the treasure it guards. He's also the reason why I now live my life as if God exists...and I listen to this interview whenever I need a little help through my day. Thank you.
Praise the Lord. Oncs you start living for Jesus everything changes that's being born again 🙌 🙏 And now you can know you will hsve a place in the kingdom and beyond There is only life in Him. Only permanent death without
I was taught at a very young age that it's better to live your life as God exists and be wrong than to live your life as he doesn't and be wrong... At the time I didn't understand because either way you are wrong and at that age I thought no matter how you live your life if you're wrong then your wrong and I want to be right... Now I understand what he was saying and I live my life as God exists...
Hi EconMan. 😊 I am Elaine. Your Comment Really Touched my Heart ❤️ Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and No One Comes to the Heavenly Father Except Through Me. “ That’s in the Book of John chapter 14 verse 6. If you have a Easy to Read Bible then Reading the Book of John in the New Testament Will Help Answer Your Spiritual Questions. I like to concentrate on Jesus’s Words. No One Ever said the things He said like He Said Them. I’m Praying that You Will Understand What God Wants You to Know about His LOVE for You. GOD LOVES YOU ❤
@@drrydog lol crying is a sign of weakness?? It's a natural body response...viewing that as a sign of weakness is like viewing sneezing as a sign of weakness. It's truly weak when one is too proud to show that they have emotion.
@@drrydog You obviously haven't had anyone come up and personally thank you for saving and/or changing their life for the better in a profound, deep and meaningful way. Only then, you will realize that this powerful statement will make any humble human react with a type of emotional up-welling.
nox scythe right to the face. Ah yes nihilism is so wise. please teach me how to be an emotionless Encyclopedia of facts. I need to get in touch of the reality that I am nothing more than bipedal protoplasm.
@@drrydog One hallmark of belief in the supernatural is pessimism. With pessimism there is a lot of negative emotion because absolute certainty is sought and is an unattainable goal. In other words, belief in the supernatural is a failure by design.
Dear Jordan, a hello and a thank you from just another stranger (living in a Russian town by the way) who's suffering much less thanks to you being with us all.
Thank you Jordan Peterson! So enjoy hearing your information. I am able to maneuver through life with a different perspective and have more accomplishments.
Matthew Clark, you must be closer to greatness, keep at it plz, we need you. Journey to the darkest only allows us to find who we are and sharpen ourselves 🦋
What a humble man. I truly believe that Jorden Peterson is a blessing in this time of suffering in the world. Thank you, God, for all you do and may you have the glory. Amen.
Keith Bentham: Spoken like a truly heartless and self-centered individual. Why comment negatively to someone who opens their heart and soul to share thanks and admiration. There are so many other places available for your disheartening sentiment. It beggars belief that you would single Jamie Jenkins out. That said... may God bless you and bring you joy and peace.
@Jack Jonas spoken as a young person still intrigued by dorm room philosophy. You don't think we all had that same exact thought when we were young and idealistic? If you'd take a moment to actually consider if "Christians follow blindly", you'll see how universal and shallow an argument that really is
This is so heart breaking to watch. So used to JP's tone, I can tell he was suffering a lot when he had this discussion. It only becomes clear when you know how terribly sick he was during that time. His trembling voice clearly shows the utter anguish he was in. I'm glad he managed to get well again and shine with ever more glowing brightness. JP has helped me overcome my very first depressive episode that lasted for a year. If it wasn't for his videos and books, i would have ended up a lot worse and could have committed suicide. His perspective on life and suffering was what made it possible for me to bare the incredible pain my illness had me in at the time. I'm so greatfull to have come across his content without which i would have certainly perished.
"The only thing that can break the spine of tyranny is the truth and the only way the truth can be told is (when) some individual tells it." Let's remember that!
@@AFREEMIND369 said: "the truth cannot be told to anyone it must be discovered" I certainly agree with that statement. All the more reason why we shouldn't stop speaking the truth. Spoken truth is a seed and the seeker is one with a fertile mind. It is God that does the ultimate convicting.
@@angelus_solus And yet if it is not said then there is little chance of the yoke of lies ever being lifted. I was faced a couple of years ago by a homosexual man who wanted to know my views on marriage. So I told him without any sugar coating. He was not happy, but grudgingly accepted that I'd given an honest answer.
If by some miracle, this comment actually reaches Jordan, I would like him to know that I am father of 11 children, and for 27 years I have been living as one who believes in God and in Jesus as the Christ. I have been praying for you to get through the trials and trouble you have been facing. I am sure I am not the only one pulling hard for your total recovery. Be encouraged! If you come near Jacksonville Florida, I will try to come and shake your hand, or perhaps hug you if it's appropriate.
@@nikkivenable3700 Jordan displays such a passion for truth and genuine care for people that is rare in his circles the way he expresses it. He is a treasure! As for me, I will just live my life one day at a time, in love with Jesus.
@@jameslong9564 why do atheists have such a deep spiritual void, that they want to go back and forth when people state things about a higher power? Seems like an almost obsession due to lack
This was well worth the time. The most beautiful thing in life is to see God at work in a person’s life. Mr Peterson is far more humble than I realized. Shalom
I’m speechless every time I watch one of his videos. I have my favorites that I watch over and over, this video is going to be one of them. His videos helped me survive some really dark times in my life and there’s so much more that I need to learn... I wish him a long prosperous, happy and productive life.
Lets not allow that his eloquence, intelligence and well meaning intentions for humanity turn him into and idole. I absolutely love how humble he is, I have learned a lot from his talks and teachings. however, he is a channel that brings truth not the ultimate truth. We need to continue coming to the Father (God) the perfector of our faith. Is important to apply his wisdom without putting aside our relationship with God. God bless you so much Dr Peterson.
Yes.. 'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.' Eph 2:8-9 Although we are unworthy, there is not other way to come to Him but through Christ. So although we are forever unworthy, and none of us are good enough to claim ultimate faith in God (we're imperfect) but Christ paid the only price that matters. His blood covers us so God doesn't see us, but the perfect blood.
Fascinating how truth and the seeking of truth led Jordan literally to Christ, despite the efforts of almost our entire culture to frame God or religion as bereft and a decrepit worldview.
"We do not need to say we believe - we need to act it out" - so well put! It really is a privilege to share the information space with people like him.
@@blakebunch4485 I'd like to answer this since the commenter did not. It's not exactly "not true", however faith and attempting to follow Christ is not ALL based on works, or our actions in life. If that were so, nobody could ever cut the mustard at all, because we ALL fall short. It's more about your repentance for bad actions and forgiveness. Peterson has said he "isn't good enough" to say he believes in God. He never will be. None are. But with Jesus, the point is you bring your sinful self to Him and He helps create in you the person you need to be. The argument between protestant and Catholic has always been works or faith and i think it's very silly, since i believe it takes both very much. Idk what you'd call me. I simply call myself a Christian. The thing is, if one makes the decision in their heart and soul to follow Christ, there's no way their works or actions don't improve. They must. So one comes along with the other. But Peterson must understand that he will never be good enough. None are. He must humble himself and bring himself, sinfulness and all, before God. Repent and accept the love of God. That's all. Good works, or better works simply follow that. But nobody would be perfect because then we wouldn't need God. We would be God.
@@blakebunch4485 someone commented that it was false to say we need to "act out" our beliefs, and you asked "why's that?" That's why I put it the way i did. Of course, it is not false. We do, to the best we can achieve, need to act out our beliefs and live them in our lives. But, that's not all there is to it. It just seems to me that Peterson is waiting for a perfection that will never arrive, if he thinks he must be "good enough" before he surrenders himself to God. Again, if any of us were good enough, we wouldn't need Jesus, or his sacrifice, because we would just be perfect. Don't get me wrong, i love Jordan Peterson. But to say anyone isn't "good enough" to state that they believe, well, that's the point, none are. Not even the very best human on earth is. We are supposed to unashamedly believe and unashamedly say so. We don't need to wait until we are "good enough" because God knows we aren't and he loves us anyway and wants us to come to him anyway. Now, i definitely don't agree that one can stay in their awful, sinful, behaviors and still claim to follow Jesus. Again, once you surrender yourself and decide to follow that path, your works in this world will change, because you have chosen this path.
You sir have impacted the lives of so many people with your courage to speak on issues that many of us can't at this time for what ever reason. Jordan you have been given a gift from God in regards to how you communicate period with people and how you express vulnerability. I feel blessed everytime I watch or listen to your lectures or interviews. You sir are an absolute inspiration.
Yes, Jordan Peterson, you are a gift to His wonderful creation that's so far away from God, thankyou, for being so transparent, helping those in desparate need of understanding life. God Bless you and your family❤
Deeply touching, intense, and powerful. Lord, lead these two awesome guys to the deepest truth of You that their hearts long for and sincerely seek. Please heal Jordan's wife, too, in Jesus' Mighty Name.
@Sjúrður Højgaard, it’s mythology. Regardless, if the myth is true, he only had a bad weekend and is having a great time with his dad. Meantime, 25,000 children die every day.
Whenever I listen to Jordan I feel two things at once; that his intellect and compassion is so astonishingly powerful and deep that I must understand it as far as possible, but also a kind of painful acknowledgment that he is one in a billion and I can only dream to meet and discuss with anyone like him in real life, or learn everything he has such a beautiful breadth of knowledge in. I think it's almost reprehensible that his intensely insightful views are so widely condemned.
Well put! It’s strange though that there are so many people that are apparently condemning his message, yet if you read comments it’s almost impossible to find a negative one! You’d think they would be clambering to write their nasty messages, yet, where are they? It’s weird.
He is always absolutely passionate about his work, his words and the people who listens to him. He's also so afraid of the evil and the malevolence. And we can see that, at that time, he was deeply depressed. I'm so glad he's ok now. And back.
It's a shame anyone would treat him so bad, he's such a good man. He's helped me a lot by just one certain video. I love this man.💜✝️ GODBLESS YOU Jordan Peterson, I wish you could see this. I hope you get born again, and accept Jesus into your heart.
Mark Rogers Well put, but there is nothing original in the statement. Also we need to bear in mind the Scripture which says: (James 2:19) 'You believe that God is one. The demons also believe, and shudder.' I've read that Prager is an 'orthodox Jew'. which if true, means that he rejects his own Messiah. The Messianic Jews have the correct Christology, NOT the so-called 'orthodox', who ironically are heretics.
@@maxINaus He may not yet have a testimony of Christ's divinity and of His atoning sacrifice and resurrection, but he has the necessary humility to say that he doesn't know everything and must live as though he does believe.
@@maxINaus Dr Peterson has no doubt saved more souls from tyranny and idealogical suffering than your dogmatic beliefs. JBP is the modern Christ that kicked the vipers nest. What have you done to unveil the tyranny recently? Ignoranmous.
@@maxINaus Belief in God is not the same as knowledge of God. And considering there is no evidence for any god of any kind...belief is all there is for those willing it to be so. To claim knowledge of that which cannot be truly 'known' is simply fallacious and counterintuitive to me anyway. I don't exist to be liked or approved of by others. Truth is my greatest friend and ally in a world of much misinformation, invertion of truth, and downright ignorance. We are all good and bad....we are polarised as humans. To hold onto good and not be aware of your own bad is arrogant in my view. Good only knows itself by comparing itself to bad. People protect what matters most to them. Why people protect god and not eachother is a clear sign of how treacherously ingrained and idelible the beliefs become. People are not good or bad....people are people....behaviour can be seen as good or bad I'll grant that. Anyway I was just standing up for Dr Peterson....a real man. Not a fictitious man-made fake narrative of a man.
@@maxINaus Just listen to yourself. Who believes in the dead rising? Fools, idiots, gullible people who wish not to grow up. There is no evidence of Jesus. It is man forged in order to control simple minds. I'm not mocking....I'm proving you to be a fool who believes in the dead rising. Get a grip. Edit: I'm not atheist or theist.
I found jordan about 2 years ago. Since then i have watched more of his content on RU-vid than anything else. You. Are a life changer. God bless you and your family Jordan. The world is a better place because of you.
I can honestly say I grew up with a broken family and I loved my mother and my stepfather for doing the best they can but hearing Jordan Peterson speak truly helps me put everything together and come at peace. Thank you.
It breaks my heart to see him cry. 💔 My dad passed away over 14 years ago, and finding Peterson is like finding my dad again. I enjoy listening to Peterson teaching, as well as his powerful invitations to stand up straight, stop complaining, appreciate the good things in life, and bring my very best every day. I am a better person because I know somebody expects me to do well, and to do better than that , tomorrow. 💖💝💞 A Good teacher is a precious gift. ✨🤗✨
This man is a legend. I'm so grateful to live in a time when this man exists. Jordan Peterson has allowed me to truly open up my mind to a better life and I will never forget that. I wish the very best for him and his family.
I feel the same way. We who are alive at the same time are witnessing true greatness unfold from the heart of Jordan Peterson. He’s willing to tell the truth that is inside him because he’s more afraid of the lies that will take root and choke out the light. Mankind is not good except by daily choices to do better. He’s gifted with a vocabulary, education and the brains to pull it all together into a coherent narrative. Basically he is saying, Don’t lie , Don’t Cheat, Don’t Blane others for your stupidity.. Don’t be un ungrateful blob. Don’t be lazy and We are not all created equal. You will know when you are in the presence of someone greater than you are because THEY Inspire you to actually become the best you can be... continually .
@Goggle products many people agree with me that are influential individuals from many different backgrounds. Joe Rogan, Jocko Willick, Shapiro, Rubin, Crowder, Harris, the list goes on. Democrats, republicans, independents, etc etc. You think all these peeps are brain washed fools? You sound bitter and angry and should take the time to really listen to what Mr. Peterson has to say. You might learn something.
One of my all-time favorite videos...Dr.Peterson had been on tour quite a while by this time and was visibly worn-down...one of his best qualities is that he is able and willing to let his vulnerability show.....I just love him....and Dennis, with all his wisdom, was/is able to discern the beauty in Jordan’s soul...what a great pairing here....love them both.
As a Catholic, I believe in Saints, throughout history, every time darkness threaten the children of God, he send his saints to bring about The Truth, which ultimately is God, when we look to the moral and political events, I strongly believe we’re living in one of the darkest times of all, and with all possible flaws one might have, Jordan Peterson is indeed an emissary of the Lord, one who dares to speak the truth!
Tadeu Batista In the Scriptures, the word 'saint' refers to ALL those who believe in the Lord and are sanctified through their faith. 'And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.' The concept of a superior class, a spiritual elite which does the heavy lifting while the rest of the Church watches, is not very Scriptural, the Old Testament prophets notwithstanding. I hope that you take this as an ENCOURAGEMENT, my friend. Your witness to the righteousness, grace, and mercy of our Lord Jesus is as valuable as that of the next guy. As for Mr. Peterson, I have yet to hear an open confession of faith from him, but I hope that it will come soon enough.
@@jesusislordsavior6343 when I say God send His saints, I don’t mean at all an elite being, as you very well pointed out, we’re all called to sainthood. I have faith, Mr. Peterson is reaching out his terms with the All Mighty.
@William Kievit I'm not a groupie! I'm a realist, in so far as I live in the real world, not in the make believe! A boy is a boy, a girl is a girl. But, a boy who thinks he's a girl, I concede will be a 'she'. A girl who thinks she's a boy, I concede will be a 'he'. But, 'they'!? Give me a break. Pronouns are not sacred but they shouldn't be thrown about stupidly. Unless you are stupid, of course.
Wonderful comments about this interview. I have watched as many of Peterson's RU-vid videos as I can find, and this one, like all the others is similar, but no two are ever the same. Words of wisdom in them all.
This is the most vulnerable interview I have seen with JP. All props to DP. A great interviewer with a great interviewee. We should all share this with our friends
Every time Jordan gets choked up and begins to cry, I start crying. The effect this man has had on my life, is truly priceless. I thank God every morning this man spoke his truth to the world and I found him.
I thought I had seen him cry. I just started listening to him, he is mind blowing. I feel his passion for mankind and i believe he is good...... I also understand what he means by the wickedness and evil of man. Dennis is awesome also. These are voices of reason in a confused and chaotic world. God bless them.
I admire Peterson a lot, but to be honest, his teary voice is way too much over the top...its the first time I found Peterson to be inauthentic and intentionally theatrical
I TOTALLY agree! Love these two gentlemen! The only thing that kept coming to my mind, while listening, is that the ONLY person Who did live this life perfectly, was Jesus Christ, Himself! And, that's why He has the power to save!
Mr Peterson, your a good man, by that I mean that you strive for goodness. Don’t be surprised that the moral majority are with you. You are much beloved brother.
A truly good person . . . a truly wise person has a much deeper understanding, appreciation, loathing, and wariness of his or her own innate corruption and potential for evil.
Docbndgrl9113 We should always strive to be better brother. I know that I have lots of room for improvement and I’m constantly working on it. Two thousand years ago, the Creator hung on a cross to pay for my sins, to give me life, so I’m going to head His words and always strive for righteousness.
Dr. Peterson, your advise, insight(which led to my own profound insight) and wisdom led to me fall in love with my husband again...more deeply than ever before. Our marriage has never been so full of passion and real friendship. Thank you for saving my marriage🙏.
Peterson pointed it out. You were where you needed to be already. This is the same as Jesus deriding those who tried to grasp what they tried to, with the old, "Oh ye of little faith." He didn't say, "Oh ye of NO faith." Belief is an infinite thing, it must be, it is.
I could sit and watch these two talk all day... I enjoy watching both these men talk... I just wish that for one of their conversations I could be there and partake in it also...
I literally fell in love with Jordan Peterson's heart and mind. I feel he is blessed and here to help the world. I have read for 20 years some of the greatest philosophers, religions and psychological perspectives and I feel his knowledge, words and passion is so deep and sincere he has been given a way to express all of these truths in such a practical way in such order that you can only explain him as being chosen to do this good work.
If only everyone would strive to live in such a way as to earn the thanks of those they influence. Dr. Peterson, thank you for "shouldering the load", and for your great work. You have offered healing and hope to me as well. I thank God for you!
@@gherieg.1091 I honestly agree with Asrun. Dennis Prager comes across as annoyingly agreeable. I certainly think its sweet of him to praise Peterson, but after continuous praise it just feels like phoney niceness born from the awe of sitting next to him.. Its too much. Its like saying to your mother-in-law that her food is michelin-worthy when in fact its just ok. Peterson and Prager probably had a nice talk at lunch before the show, true, but this whole talk of 'knowing when someone is good' is a bit easy and simplified.
@Eskild Krogh deep thinking people get emotional when they speak to someone who understands them in a culture where it's popular to spit in their faces. they're not being disingenuous, the fact that they're that stoked to talk to one another proves how serious both of them take the interaction.
@@Eskildslothkrogh It's the most effective way to get a good interview (see James Lipton). It makes interviewees feel they have nothing to prove, and so they relax and really open up.
I've heard the name before but was too busy with other pursuits. This is now my second video with him as speaker and it just keeps getting better. I do pray he totally recovers a state of good health. If nothing else can be taken from his awful experience it would be: be wary of any drug. Think twice before taking chemicals into your body which God did not prescribe for us.
He is a physical manifestation of his philosophy and teachings .... essentially everyone is "Flawed and Vulnerable" .... I been watching him for years now ... I really hope he can overcome what ever he needs to and remain in the public eye .... we all need his rational mind and empathy to make sense of today's Chaos ...
I so love this conversation. Jordan taking umbrage at being called “good”; Jordan’s discovery of evil; Jordan’s thoughts on belief. Pure gold. Thank you Dennis.
@@SimonRichardMasters a majority of Jordan's content online is biblical psychological study and lecture. He also alludes to Christianity, Christ, God, old testomial values very very oftenly. The hell do you mean what Jose said had nothing to add?
And you know he's right, God is good, and He's the only ome who's truly good, whereas humans are somewhere in the middle, some lean really far one way or the other, most are probably slightly farther to evil then good. It is just part of being human, and recognizing it is the best way to strive to come as close to good as possible.
I watch many RU-vids on various subjects: mostly musicians/music, philosophy and religion. I RARELY, if ever, leave comments. However, you two men have made such an impact on my life that I feel compelled to thank you for following the path you have set your feet on. Thank you for sharing your hearts, minds and lives!
Thank God for men that spend their lives helping others and building them up👏🙌. Who needs a marvel "hero" when you have real heros in this crazy world🙏
His internal struggle is so raw that it manifests itself physically. He will always struggle with this but this is his is Grace. A human wrestling with what we all perceive as reality versus what is beyond our reality.
This is False. I almost agree with Peterson, however, this is a secular view. The Bible is pretty clear that there are believers and non believers. The beauty of God is the Mercy He shows us sinners, which Peterson understands. Perhaps Jordan represents a type of Doubting Thomas, as he denies this clear fact: God allows us to fail through life so that we might find our Faith: Genesis 15:6 "Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Ephesians 2:9 "Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it." [Not by works but by Faith] Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." This is further enforced by this realization: John 14:9 "Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?" The requirement to have seen Jesus and have faith that you've also seen the Father is to have first believed. And again, belief enforces the power of our will: Revelations 12:11 "And they overcame him [antichrist/the beast] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
@@Ariel-oo1nc Answer me this. If God "Allows us to fail through life so that we might find our Faith".....what happens if we don't find that Faith? In fact, if you don't have Faith to begin with, and we Fail, does that mean non-believers are all going to Hell by default, even if we led lives free of hurting others, had families, led others to success and contributed to Society in a measured and meaningful way? What becomes of of me, an Atheist, if I have led a principled life, helped others, contributed to Society and didn't hurt others? Since I am not part of "The Club of Faith I am doomed according to God? This is why Religion, and by extension, belief in a higher being, will always be a circular argument. A Benevolent God would put no such constraints on their Creation, putting traps and pitfalls in their path, gleefully waiting for them to fail only to throw us into a burning Pit when "He" knew all long it was an unobtainable and impossible exercise. The Bible may be full of Wisdom and Warnings and perhaps set people on a moral path but it is no proof of God. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and nobody has that evidence becasue it simply doesn't exist.
@@james_tiberius_kirk73 Well, by your response I can tell that you are already snickering at the idea of a God and Faith. So, this is a question that you hope puts me on the hot seat while you read and eat some popcorn. Am I wrong? Yes. If you don't believe that Jesus died for your sins and live according to the father's will (Ten Commandments, personal revelations) then yes, you are going to Hell. That's according to the Bible.
@@james_tiberius_kirk73 I am less curious to know why you think I am wrong, and more curious to know why you think you are right. As people, we create things in life, and if they don't meet our standards (ie. A meal we've burnt) we throw it in the trash. If you are a creation of God, and you don't meet his standards, why do you get to choose what survives or is thrown into the trash, but He who created you does not? Do you consider yourself a person who loves? If you have thrown anything out that is distasteful to you, then I would ask, why should I believe that you are capable of love? Do you not do the same as God does, who created you in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26, 2:7).
Susan K Jesus not only spoke the truth at all times; He IS (as He said) the Way, and the Truth, and the Life (see John 14:6). Through His weakness, by submitting to death on the Cross, and by His Resurrection to glory, He defeated SIN and DEATH, our greatest enemies. Satan, the ultimate tyrant, was vanquished. The rest of history until its end is the outworking of that encounter.
You are God’s gift to humanity, Dr Peterson. Your brilliance and wisdom is one of a kind. I am so blessed to be listening to most of your speeches and interviews. Be blessed 😇… listener from Australia
