Let me quickly start off by saying that I often enjoy listening to Jordan Peterson, especially when he intellectually undresses audacious journalists who think that reciting ideological slogans is enough to corner someone like Peterson into submission.
But with all there is to admire with Dr. Peterson, when push comes to shove, he often proves that whatever his beliefs are, they ultimately aren’t a big improvement on the post moderns he routinely denounces.

Thanks for watching. Just a couple clarifications. Some have claimed that Peterson never said what I claimed he said and that it's some kind of made up meme. Unfortunately, I was quoting him verbatim: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C2CuAVAERjs.html. Also, I'm not saying Peterson is insane. In fact, I specifically say that the kind of skepticism he employs has much in common with the mind of an insane person, but in his case and that of skeptics, it isn't sincere insanity - just a convenient way of avoiding reality.

Of course you pulled that clip out of context. you completely misunderstand his entire body of work. Why he is approaching these questions in a very particular way and why approaching these questions that way has become very profound. You're not necessarily among bad company as many have clipped that out of context because it does sound ridiculous on its face, but those that understand what his approach is, get why he leveled that kind of skepticism to that particular question. That understanding can be drawn from the clip itself if you're paying attention, which I don't think you really are. Your video comes across as very rambling, the points you make aren't very cohesive, and it seems like you're in a spirit of attacking Dr. Peterson and trying to find something to disagree with him about and that points me to the assumption that this is one of very few clips about him that you have seen. I know it looks like I'm making a pretty big leap in assumption, but I just find so much lacking with your arguments in this video that I don't find in your other videos, and the inflammatory way you have worded this title says that this is not in good spirit. And yes, your title literally says "the insanity of Jordan Peterson" so you are clearly saying that Peterson is insane, so that part of your comment here is an outright lie. You should own your own words. So I feel very safe in my assumption that this was meant as an attack video rather than a thoughtful discussion. Now, if you're not being dishonest, I would implore you to look far deeper into his work, especially maps of meaning, at the very least on a somewhat surface level by going through his classes that are also available on his RU-vid channel. And then see the multiple different times he's been asked that question and the truth will be easily assembled from that, and you will understand why he worded it this way in that clip. He is getting to the bottom of an extremely important understanding of the nature of God Himself, and how we as humans have misconception Him, which has spawned a whole host of these atheistic and "evil God, problem" type claims. And I think it is an incredibly important endeavor that he is embarking on and requires the level of skepticism that he is applying in order for his journey to be successful. I too have been thinking about this problem very deeply, in one line of though I've been trying to understand why so many people (including myself) don't get the term "fear of God is the beginning of wisdom" where in a human sense, that sounds like "we have to obey a tyrant or else" which I would call now in my early thinking about this concept, "humanizing God", which is a mistake, obviously. But when that term "fear of God..." is brought into full context of the nature of God. It makes way more sense and the way that the people throughout the Bible spoke of natural forces and active God becomes more transparent and understandable. The best example, though I don't think it's a great one yet, is maybe how people of the time would have argued that the concept of gravity is the sky getting revenge on you, you throw a rock up at the sky it's going to throw it right back at you, or some sort of conceptualization of natural forces like that, and God is the being that is natural forces as such. Hopefully that analogy is close enough that it makes sense what I'm getting it. But I digress.. Until you're addressing Jordan Peterson's claims at least on that kind of level, I don't think you have the understanding, nor the proper wherewithal to criticize him accurately. I welcome criticisms of Peterson, but I welcome accurate well thought out criticisms that actually reflect that you know what he's trying to get at and can actually add to the discussion, not distract from or bash people for trying to do their best with their God-given talents to praise Him and share Him with the world. This video is not that. tl;dr - this video is an absolute fail, I think you should delete it and take a few years of research before you try it again.

@ld2906 9 дней назад

@@AN1Guitarman My apologies. I was somewhat abrupt in my earnestness. I think Jordan Peterson is a Godsend. Truly. There is much to learn from him, however, when all is said and done and in the presence of the unerring keenness of divine justice, his disposition to truth is limited. Consequently his orientation is inconstant and his inclination, neurotic. We would do well to extend mercy where mercy is most legitimately due, never forgetting it falls to the Church militant to always make error apparent, most especially those errors embedded in a subtlety of complication, and exquisite reasoning. It is her duty, in so doing, to illuminate the hearts and minds of the faithful and alert humanity to the dangers inherent in the shortfalls of, at the very least, incomplete thinking, which is perhaps even born of willful denial. Put more gently and kindly, "seek ye the kingdom of heaven first..." and ... your masculinity, embedded in your identity, amongst all things, will follow. Beware the falacious grizzlings of neo conservatism and the 'rough-tuff-cream puffness' of neo-stoicism. In truth; only gentlemen qualify for the privilege to compete for the refinement of excellence, in the interests of sub-creativity. Good will, the gentleman's fulcrum, is antithetical to dominance. From it proceeds action tempered by charity. It apprehends complementarity and the essence of exchange. It leads to the understanding that any school of thought that pivots on the theory of evolution is destined to cannibalism, to the conflation of domination with dominion, of winning with saving, and of sacrifice with victimisation. Men of good will, who seek truth for the sake of truth alone, find it untenable to hold fast to the delusion that nature is the cypher by which one may comprehend God. Furthermore; honest, good men know their limitations and the difference between mysticism, and pseudo mysticism.

I disagree that he’s done this for money and I disagree that he’s seeking without truly intending to find. I think for some, coming to a conclusion based on blind faith is akin to insanity. They need to know something that they can feel isn’t just a trick of the senses. If you’ve ever thought you were in love for the first time then you remember how you felt when you found real love. You felt silly to think you allowed your senses to be fooled. So you test everything you think you feel, and you question it as if the world is out to trick you. Only then you begin to trust it. Testing your built in love for God is different. You feel it since birth and you want to make sure it’s not just a trick of the senses so you have to look at life and love and history and the human condition. That’s when God makes sense, and at the same time we’re so used to worthy of His love that it seems to be a gift we’re trying to earn. We test miracles by their fruits and I’ve seen Dr Peterson bring far more people, especially young men, to a better way of life and to God, because that’s the next logical step.

Since nothing can be empirically verified, at some point we are left with faith, hope and charity in the things we cherish. Our experiences are like a hypostatic union of our senses shared with God's divine senses. God's miracles are when He shares His Holy Soul' Sense through you by the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit. ❤

@Wuldrian 9 дней назад

In Jordan's case, he privileges the question of belief in God over any and all other questions since it is referring to the most profound thing. In this sense, he isn't necessarily trying to weasel away from the question, though it may appear as such, but rather clarify the parameters of the question with surgical caution and precision. The reason for this, I believe, is that Jordan considers the 100% probability that he will utter the words: “Yes, I do believe in God,” and then proceed thereafter at some point to act in a way that contradicts the statement; i.e. sin, to be contradictory, which it obviously is. Christianity is of course way ahead of Jordan in this regard however, as it acknowledges all of us to be born in sin. So what is the gateway out of this glaring contradiction? AKA the Jordan Peterson Hesitation Problem - ((how can sinners be Christian?) *Confession.* The solution that Jordan Peterson is searching for, or the bridge that connects sinful, contradictory man with outspoken belief in God, is confession and reconciliation with God. In this sense, it is not so much that Jordan Peterson is wrong to hold himself so accountable for his sinful nature that he dares not say aloud he believes in God, but that he is overlooking the gift of Confession that God gave us that allows us to love him, outspokenly, in spite of our contradictory and sinful nature.

@ld2906 9 дней назад

Confession. That is true, however, confession is but preparation before the leap of faith that avails men of wings of grace that transports them across the abyss of human perception, separating the physical from the corporeal realm, and all that lies beyond.

@bradleymarshall5489 9 дней назад

@michellekomadina9878 6 дней назад

If we all waited to be perfect before following Christ we would never start at all. I agree with your statement completely. It is pride to think of oneself as not good enough to commit. It’s humility that acknowledges personal sin and weaknesses and follows anyway. Of course we’re not good enough. That’s the whole point! Jesus our Lord and Saviour makes up for all our faults. We just confess and move on and never dwell on our sins or faults but acknowledge that yes we are so imperfect and in need of God.

The measurement problem invariably leads to Cartesianism. Jordan Peterson is spiritually hangry because of his academically plagued intellectualism. Let us be charitable and perhaps reserve judgement regarding his intentions. One might, for example, say he is "addicted" to phenomanilism because of the (his) perceived value of it, to a world that asks no deep questions and doesn'tknow how to. The windmills of his own mind may, on the other hand, provide a comfort zone, except that, 'the hound of heaven' is unrelenting in terms of truth seekers. I propose that when he refers to "We Who Wrestle with God". What he, in fact, means is; " I, Who Wrestle with Self". God bless Jordan Peterson.

Yeah this seems to be a pretty profound misunderstanding of Peterson. Not sure if it's accidental or deliberate but I hope it's the former. He's one of the very few public persona's to often admit he could be wrong and actually stop and take real time to answer a question. He will change his mind and be gracious to a fault but also fight for principles. If you want to pick a true flaw perhaps he just talks too much at times when he's interviewing someone. He's EXTREMELY supportive of the Christian Tradition. It seems many are dissatisfied that they can't pin him down to an exact label or can't handle that he wishes to avoid answering many of the most mundane questions directly. If he wants more time to figure out a straightforward answer that's fine. If he never wants to give one while simultaneously doing so much good work, why is that a problem? He might even be doing his best to tell the truth as he knows it because perhaps he wants to believe but still feels he doesn't truly and therefore won't lie. You'd have to be telepathic to know the answer until he says one way or the other.

I'm extremely sympathetic to Peterson's "What do you mean by God?" question. Mostly because no one ever answers it, which tells me that either they ARE trying to corner him with the question, or they themselves don't know what they mean, which is a problem. Do you mean what the Platonist's refer to as "The One?" Do you mean a being above all other beings that exists within the universe? Do you mean the Holy Trinity? It's a very legitimate question.

@@BrianHoldsworth I see the point you're making, thank you for sharing it! However, the exposition of God that Peterson gives in his lectures seems to be enjoyed and affirmed by many Gnostics, Perennialists, and Neo-Platonists (I have even met one offline myself!). It's not incarnational and Christ-oriented; he leaves the door open to a "purely symbolic" interpretation, rather than pointing towards an incarnational understanding of the world. I really think he himself is trying to figure it out! Imagine if you were in the middle of trying to wrap your mind around God, one day you think you know Him and the next you don't, you're travelling, doing talks, getting older, millions of people are hanging on every word you say, and to top it off you're a psychology professor with a rational mind that constantly gets in the way... I feel for him. Should he stop doing talks and tours and take some time in silence to figure it out? Yes. But that's the position I think he finds himself in.

He wants people to think deeper on this question and do some real research into god. When you ask “do you believe in god?”. That can mean many things from a big man in the sky to creator of universe or both. This a problem many struggle with. He is doing this to challenge us and consider who is god? What is god? Why? And many more questions. He knows who he thinks god is but doesn’t know what you think god is so yes he can say I believe but what haven’t expressed what that means. Hope this insight helps

I mean look, he has studied the bible inside out and has gleaned more wisdom than anyone else, which includes clergymen; and he has, in no small measure, literally witnessed a miracle of the rosary when Our Lady snatched his wife back from death's grip.

Being a right-brainer, I have always, since early childhood, been comfortable with the eternally mystical nature of the Creator. I can answer much of it, to myself, by watching a flower. Jordan, on the other hand, is a committed left-brainer. Watching him wrestling these concepts while trying to validate them all through the left brain, is interesting. He has a not so crazy belief that by giving the right brain the wheel, you may find yourself sitting in the passenger seat next to Charles Manson with a knife in your hand. That said, I think he’s inching in the right direction and may eventually put his slide-rule away and submit to the Creator.

Peterson is essentially a Christian in his worldview and continues to get closer to overt Christianity as time goes on. You spend a lot of the video on skepticism, but Peterson is not a skeptic. He won’t come out and say he believes in God, but he lives as if he does. He would say himself that his actions speak more to his belief than his words do. I don’t know what his reasons are for not stating his belief publicly, but looking at his impact on the world it is clear to me that he does hold Christian values and a Christian worldview.

First of all Chesterton is THE BOMB. I love The Man Who was Thursday. Also your thoughts on skepticism are REALLY REALLY good. Skepticism, on the level you're describing, reminds me of Puddleglum facing down the witch in C.S. Lewis's The Silver Chair, when she claims they have never really seen the sun. Only a lamp. If I can suggest a thought, as I am a very big Jordan Peterson fan, I get the impression that Jordan Peterson wants a lot of room and oxygen in his faith journey. He doesn't want to be pressured, cornered, labeled, or boxed in to anything. So he chooses to be a certain degree of illusive when it comes to questions of faith. His wife just recently joined the Catholic church, and he's very supportive of her. But he himself I get the impression, likes to do his growing underground. If that makes sense? To grow freely and in his own way and time. And perhaps not very publicly. But I get how his illusive answers could sound like a chronic skeptic. And I do personally get frustrated with chronic skeptics.

@duathellto1460 8 дней назад

I've wondered something similar, and also whether his "growing" has been significantly delayed by the prying and pressuring from people he doesn't even know. There's a general principle in the Church that new converts ought not go evangelizing and sharing and being really public about their new faith, because they're still figuring out what they got into. St. Paul went several years before he started preaching. JP's wife is not as much in the limelight, and therefore a bit more immune to it. I know that other famous converts sometimes did not announce their conversion until years later. But he's pretty well boxed himself into getting the question, with all the Bible study lectures he's given, interviews with priests and religious influencers, etc. He can't give the typical professional's answer of "I'm not an expert in that question, and I'm not going to give my personal beliefs, opinion, or speculations for this professional lecture/interview". He chose that. Perhaps because even if he likes to do his growing underground, he absolutely requires the meeting of the minds in order to do it. Who knows, but God?

I disagree with Brian on this. As someone who has worked in scientific research, I think we should always be skeptical because other people's assumptions and our own are frequently wrong. Most of the great scientific experiments disproved widely held assumptions. The reason I'm a Catholic Christian is because I used to be an atheist, but became skeptical about the idea of no god and the universe creating itself. As Saint Thomas Aquinas pointed out, an uncaused first cause for everything is a logical necessity, and I can't find any way round that. I respect people who can just say "I believe", but that doesn't work for me.

He talks at length about why he doesn’t like the question, but then also says he knows how he would answer it, which is to say that he acts as if god exists. Essentially, I don’t think this is an aspect of skepticism unless it’s Peterson being skeptical of the intentions of the person questioning.

Respectfully, Brian is engaging in sophistry. Almost everyone who ridicules Peterson for the ridiculous-sounding “what do you mean by do” exchange is either not educated in the post-Kantian western philosophical tradition + psychological literature, or they are and they don’t like Peterson’s positions and therefore are happy to ridicule him themselves to undermine him. For those of us who have studied philosophy and psychology and are sympathetic to Conservatism/Western Tradition, academic philosophy/psychology are frustrating. Modern philosophy has conclusively undermined the theoretical grounds upon which traditional beliefs are grounded. The only viable conservative / traditionalist response to post-Kantian epistemology has been phenomenology and existentialism. Existentialism does not admit to theorizing: truths are live-able (they are embodied), not knowable. Peterson sounds ridiculous at times because (aside from the fact he’s probably emotionally unwell), he is trying to explain embodied understandings. Brian and most other people who stand in judgment of him are simply not qualified... Epistemology, physics, and axiology are not simple. Sorry it’s all so complicated, but it is. Peterson has a command of the modern philosophy and psychology; the vast majority of the people who think he’s ridiculous do not. I can’t stand listening to Peterson. His voice is annoying, and he is often emotionally unhinged. He’s over-exposed, bitter (for understandable reasons), and is probably compromised by audience capture. But the man knows what he’s talking about. Brian and other scoffers would do well to exercise some humility w/ respect to the “skeptical” things Peterson has said.

@byrondickens 9 дней назад

You've got it all wrong. First off, skepticism is not properly a refusal to believe at all but a withholding of judgment until evaluating the evidence and letting that evidence lead where it may. Secondly, the philosophically minded know that you have to define terms. Untold terabytes worth of bandwidth could be saved arguing past one another if people would define their terms first. If you were to ask me if I believe in God, what do you mean by "believe" and what do you mean by "God?" If, like the typical theologically and philosophically illiterate new atheist, I "believe" you mean "accept without examination the assertion of some putative authority" and by "God"you mean the "invisible man in the sky" straw man, then you and I won't even be having the same conversation.

I have never met Jordan Peterson, and I suspect most people commenting on him haven’t either. So, like many others, I can only offer speculation about his personal journey and thoughts. I don't think Petersons' skepticism is insane nor do I find him to be avoiding reality. It’s understandable that some people, particularly Protestants, get frustrated when Peterson is asked about his beliefs and responds with “What do you mean?” On some level, I think he’s speaking to those who claim belief without necessarily embodying it-perhaps challenging those who take their faith for granted, much like some “born-again” types. In my view, Jordan Peterson engages in a stream-of-consciousness dialogue with his audience. Many, including myself, appreciate his intellectual honesty and the fact that he’s openly grappling with these complex issues in real-time. Peterson is acutely aware of the weight his words carry. It’s certainly possible, as some have speculated, that he has already joined the Church but chooses to keep this private. He likely understands that making such a declaration could limit his broader influence, as he continues to help others find their own paths. Having faced public scrutiny before, he knows the mob can be quick to judge. Perhaps he’s still discerning the best way to share his faith openly. Of course, it’s possible that Peterson is still wrestling with belief and has yet to make a formal commitment. However, in his interview with John Rich, he mentioned that he takes faith seriously-much more seriously than many who profess belief. Peterson insightfully notes, “Belief is not just a statement of what you think is true; it’s a way of living.” In a previous interview with Dennis Prager, he expressed a similar sentiment, questioning belief and acknowledging how much it demands. He even remarked, “Catholicism is as sane as it gets.” Consider Saint Augustine, who after his conversion famously prayed for the grace to be chaste-“but not yet.” Like Augustine, perhaps Peterson is on his own journey toward faith, working through the challenges at his own pace. I also find it hard to believe that his wife would have come to the Church without some guidance or influence from Peterson himself. Instead of trying to put Peterson in a specific box, perhaps the better question is: What is God’s purpose in all of this? Peterson has millions of followers many of who claim to come to the Church with the help of Jordan. As someone who tries to help others find their way, I marvel at Peterson. By listening to someone who is still “wrestling with God,” perhaps we find that God’s message becomes more relatable and easier to accept. After all, our purpose is not limited to this life. As Scripture says, God will use restored human agents for the ages to come (Ephesians 2:7).
