Jordan is correct. If you don’t buckle to these people, and you let your customers know that you won’t, you WILL WIN. Your customers don’t want that bullshit either. Look at Bud Light, Target and Ben-N-Jerry’s. They thought everyone was on the DEI side. Guess what? Nobody is. The radical left is a very loud, very minuscule part of the social fabric. Say no. Follow your heart. We will win in the end when we just say NO.

You have to give Dave a lot of credit in this interview. He could have added A LOT of good points to this discussion and sent it in a much different direction, but he just let him speak (and we all benefited from it). Well done.
Jordan is pretty hard to interrupt when he’s making a point. He clearly sees what’s gone wrong in our society. Far to many have been sleeping at the wheel. Not that it’s unusual for conservatives. We really just want to be left alone. But the Radical Leftists won’t let us.
He's very right that most of us, including those who are articulate , simply have better things to do, especially when it comes to attempting to explain the obvious to the stupid or deliberately argumentative and selfishly, wilfully, deluded is such a generally futile endeavor.

Wow this is probably the best talk from Dr. Peterson I’ve heard. Speaking to regular people in layman’s terms giving excellent advice. 100% you have to be informed and stand up and debate.
I am 67 years old. While in my 20's, I learned that the average working class people do not have the time or the energy that activists have. The workers are trying to survive and provide for their families.
It's not only the leftist privilege, ownership and indoctrination of academia - it's the fundamental difference between utopian (dystopian) activists who see everything as oppressive and absolute power as the means to establish their extremist view of equality vs people who lean conservative and just wants to be left alone.
@@ERobbins1234 Lucky? B.S. Activists never fought for me. They absolutely did not help me survive. I am a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with 13 plus years of service, 1974 to 1980, then from 1989 to 1996. On a few occasions, some left wing activists did and said some rotten things towards me and my friends. I joined the Marines in 1974, about a year before the Vietnam War was over. I did not serve in combat, but I found out really quick to not wear my uniform in public. Back then activists would hang out at airports looking for anyone in a military uniform so they could target them, with insults and an occasional violent act. I did not experience very much violence towards me, except when somebody threw an orange and hit me in the back of the head or quite often challenging to fight me or other service members when extremely out numbered. I was overseas in Asia for 3 years from 1975 to 1978. The people of Asia, (Japan, S.Korea, the Phillipines and Hong Kong, treated me and other foreigners with respect. When I arrived back in the U.S.A. in 1978, I forgot about the hostility that some people had towards the military and I experienced some culture shock. I later lived in Northern California in the coastal counties of Humboldt and Mendocino Counties in the late 1980's and the 1990's. During the protests by the Earth First! activists and similar groups,, those people were full of hate and violence. Because of their actions, they are the direct cause of the largest wildfires in the history of this country, in 2017 to 2020. I can explain further, but I think you get the drift.

He tends to do that. I think that is also the power of poets and musicians. They find ways to say and express things we ourselves have not figured out how to express yet.
And the amazing thing is I think that’s exactly his point 😅! He definitely put fire in my pants to pursue learning how to articulate the importance of my core values!
I was born in the 50’s when traditional values weren’t questioned much……they just were. They “felt right”. My parents didn’t articulate these values but I suppose they just lived them because that’s what people did. Then in my early teens everything started to turn upside down and there were the hippies who wanted to deconstruct everything. I think that because I wasn’t able to defend why I thought the traditional values were “right” I was vulnerable to the new way of thinking and it messed me up big time. I was easily convinced that everything I thought was good was actually not good at all. I bought into some crazy stuff and ultimately ended up with no foundation. So I can appreciate what J.P. is saying when he says we need to be able to articulate our values and why we do or believe certain things. I couldn’t and it was to my detriment. That isn’t the end of the story and I was eventually able to stabilize as I adopted the Christian beliefs that I hold today. However, it was a very painful journey and damage was done that could have been avoided. I hope this makes sense to others.
The '50's. When merely associating with a communist would get you cancelled, if not jailed. The '50's. When segregation was accepted as normal. The '50's.

Lack of clarity and understanding is saying he's saying socialisms equates to anti-marriage, maybe because of lack of basic skills like "listening and comprehension", maybe because you've been brainwashed so much any questioning against Socialism makes you dumb down things like a religious zelot or maybe you're trying to gaslight people supporting like a "good"(actually evil) narcissistic or pathological liar like all Authoritarian Totalitarians.
Most people could seem like an overnight genius if they'd take the time to learn how to think twice. Peterson thinks things through to a point where most people don't think is worth going alone.
He is the most articulate, thoughtful,analytical person of our age A man I have developed an enormous respect for and I am in awe of his moral strength and courage
JP is back with another logical explanation for why and how we do what we do. Every time I listen to him, I learn something new. In this day of lunacy at every turn, he is a world treasure for his core rationality. I spent my youth reading Karl Marx and sipping beer with communist officials, and in my early 30s, as a trade union site delegate and part-time official of a strong left-wing Australian labour union, I liked fighting for our workers' rights. Women eventually entered our heavy industry work force in the early 1980s, but many males and union delegates resisted this. Women working in a male-dominated heavy industry sector was not regarded favorably, yet I objected, so I acquired the first female job site workers for our union. However, because of my deep Christian beliefs and because my union bosses, who were mostly communists, regarded me as unusual as did my Christian friends, I did not feel fully at ease as a union representative. Anyway, that's enough about me. JP is a beautiful blessing for truth amid this chaotic civilization of pretenders and fools.

“Tradition is a set of solutions for which we have forgotten the problems.....” ― Donald Kingsbury The quote is longer but that's what I say when people try to pick apart my ideals and goals in life. Traditions work, that's why they became traditional.
Like the tradition of FGM? Or male circumcision? Don't be fooled by clever-sounding excuses about articulating the reasons for your traditions or accepting it because 'that's how it's always been done'. Pure garbage. Adaptability is vital for survival. The way you live life is one example of how it could be lived, but it's not the only 'right' way to live it. I like JP but I don't blindly agree with everything he says. Open marriages for example. I'm slowly learning I want to build a stable base with someone and raise children, but I don't intend to spend my life surpressing basic sexual urges, which are entirely natural and therefore nothing to be ashamed of. And I wouldn't expect my partner to either. Whereas, when I was younger and inexperienced, I listened to all the bullsh*t that enjoying sex somehow meant you had poor values. Where is the link? Having good values is about doing no harm. If adults agree and consent: where is the harm? Ergo: no link to values, it's just how you've chosen to live your life.

I often hear these people have this attitude about well you wouldn’t have to go to the school board if you put your kid in the proper private school. They just believe that people create their own problems by not being wealthy like them. In most of them feel like they are wealthy, because Jesus gave them the money because they are better people than everybody else and if people had to the faith that they have the outside world would matter and just forget about politics in the world, because that doesn’t matter as long as you love the Lord. There’s so much of this especially with older Christians who are afraid. These are the same people who swiftly abandon their church during Covid because they were told to by the government. These are the same people who said the government will never take their church away, and they will always love the Lord and worship. The Lord in church will always survive, and then, when you tell them or Confront them about what was done during Covid to suppress the church they give you a lesson on how the church could be in someone’s house, and the church is the people and not the building and all that because they don’t wanna admit the point. when you tell them, the government will take the churches tax exempt status, and try to close the buildings down if they preach against something that liberal ideology doesn’t want, next thing, you know you see pride flags going up on churches because they’re trying to comply with the government. As far as meeting at homes, that does suppress Christianity and if they want to they can you cell phone data or get neighbors to snitch on them like they do in countries like Cuba if people are gathering for religious meetings. Then they will call them hate groups. This is how persecution begins, but people like Dave Ramsey thinks it won’t happen to them.

One lazy afternoon day a Turtle was swimming happily along a Lake. As the Turtle was nearing land he heard a Scorpion hail it from the muddy shore. A Scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked the Turtle if he would carry him on his back across the lake. The Turtle thought it was the craziest thing he ever heard, “Why would I carry you on my back?” he boomed, ‘You’ll sting me while I’m swimming and I’ll drown.” “My dear Turtle friend,” laughed the Scorpion, “if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you and drown as well. Now where is the logic in that?” The Turtle pondered this for a moment, and eventually saw the logic in the Scorpion’s statement. “You’re right!” said the Turtle with a smile. “Hop on!” So the Scorpion climbed aboard and the Turtle paddled his big fins in the water. Halfway across the lake the Scorpion gave the Turtle a big sting, and he started to drown. As they both sank into the water the Turtle turned to the Scorpion with a tear in his eye. “My dear Scorpion friend, why did you sting me? Now we are both going to drown…” the Turtle was gasping for air. “Where is the… logic in that?” “It has nothing to do with Logic” the Scorpion sadly replied… >> “it’s just my Nature.”

Being loving often requires explaining why something is right. People who don't uphold the truth are not being loving; they're trying to protect their own comfort and their own reputation. They're not thinking about how to love the person who needs correction. Truly loving someone costs us dearly.
@@bigbubba4314 Yes, people may call us names. Giving up concerns our comfort and our reputation, as I described above, is part of what's involved in loving well. We have to be willing to be misunderstood. I suspect we've all had experiences of rejecting a difficult message when we first hear it, only to realize later that the messenger was right and did us a great favor by telling us a painful truth. I do agree with you that we should be concerned with our manner, but it must be a lower concern. Truth and love must be much greater concerns. (And it's important to understand that "love" does not mean a feeling. To love someone is to will what the good for them.)

Don't give up. The more you try to articulate your values the better you get at it. Biggest thing is to reflect on what you could have said but didn't If you have truth behind your values, then it will surprise you how easy it gets to defend. If all else fails, just ask questions.

I am simply awe-struck. Amazed. I work for an American/multi-national corporate (I live in another country), which 3 years ago (when I was hired) seemed to be kind of reasonable, productive, and focused on work. Since then - step by step radical leftist politics sneaked in most every front - I started receiving compulsory courses - 4 times each year - about "Inclusion", about "LGBT" about each and every detail of the new Woke agenda. When in my country there came a loud public debate about something the government tries to fix - The radicals in our office (that's many thousands of miles from headquarters) were actually PAYED FOR going to protest and take part in riots! Whereas in the past we had gays and such part of our teams, and we didn't have to make anything of that - they're just part of our company as they are part of society - we now have no less than a "PRIDE MONTH" a full month in which we have to attend "all hands" events with food and "lectures" and "personal stories" of all the weirdos we ever could dream of - both from the company and outside it - and although this has NOTHING TO DO with our work, or even personal behavior within our teams - we are forced to be part of this. The window near my cubicle is clogged by "pride flags" and that stuff. As you can guess - Production plummeted, majority of workers are quite shocked - but are afraid for their jobs and so they shut up and cary on. But in reality - the radical-leftists actually took over this multi-billion company. In reality - they're subverting the money they make off of MY WORK (and all the 90 other workers who DO NOT share these political views) into imposing the leftist political view! Dr. Peterson is so damn accurate in his analysis - and the only thing I can say he's wrong about - is that THIS IS DONE TOO. I'm afraid to say but corporate America already caught this Violent sturgeon, and is rotting where it stands. They will no longer be able to fire a worker for not working - if he/she is a candidate for "Inclusion" or otherwise member of the "Victim groups" of the new Woke regime. They will finally have to fire the whole group instead, to keep the "balance". They will try to get to our children (they already showed such intention via family "events" HR are holding for kids...) This is one corporate, but I hear from friends that this is what happens everywhere. It's sad, and I think Dr. Peterson offers a solution that is NOT FIT for masses of people. Only to very sober and self-confident individuals. "Just say NO". well... I'm working with very intelligent and composed engineers. NO ONE DARES to say one word against this movement. And I know - because they tell me - that they are suffering.

Jordan is exactly right. Conservatives must learn to explain why they are right at the level of principle. This requires a complete recovery of the natural law Tradition. It requires a deeper understanding of logic, philosophy in general, and Metaphysics in particular. Moral relativism is not difficult to refute, but it does require more work to understand your own position at the level of principles and to defend it in the public sphere.
I work for a Bank and they have a DEI department now. It is like JP said, I know it is wrong and I completely disagree with it on multiple levels but for me to articulate why is difficult.
@@christinepeterson8097 Right. There are a couple of approaches to respond to such pressure from work. The first is the religious exemption route. This is defense for acting according to conscience, but our society also desperately needs people who are willing and able to articulate why gender theory is merely an ideology masquerading as science. This is known without any religious affiliation just on the basis of reason. A man who imagined he is a woman and expects everyone else to play along is deeply confused and we do such a person no favors by playing along. Worse for us, we betray our conscience and hand over our integrity to people who care nothing about us. Stating this publicly does not just defend our own conscience, it defends Truth itself and what remains of our society against those who hate both.
The problem is that the radicals aren't interested in facts. They use emotion and circular arguments. We just lived through three years of hysteria that had very little basis of fact.
@@christinepeterson8097 When you don't know what to say, start by asking questions. People will get mad when you do this, but they are the ones that look bad. You will quickly find that the DEI position has no legitimate responsibilities and may even engage in illegal hiring practices. Don't assume anything you can't prove, quote them exactly when you speak up about it. And keep in mind that you can file a racial discrimination complainant (in the US) if you find anything. If you want less risk, come at it as a friend. Instead of threatening to report them, tell them your concerned someone might. Legal issues using civil rights laws is something a business man can respect. Most of them don't believe DEI, they just want the economic incentives.

I grew up in a farming family in the last county incorporated in California. Brawley, California was like a small Fresno, California. It was very hot in the summer time, but people were offered a chance to homestead land at greater values than in other areas as an incentive to populate the area. Work and merit and personal responsibility were the order of the day. Today, the Left, with all it's so-called moral posturing has ruined it, and much of California. Conservatives, who have no time for moral posturing, are leaving. My grandsons will not stay in this area when they become of working age.

It’s lazy and irresponsible; and it’s a big part of why this nation has gone down the tubes. 1 Peter 3:15 says, “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect”. Peter was speaking about the gospel of Jesus Christ; but the principle is the same. We must be ready to give an argument for what we believe; especially when the left has become so intellectually dishonest and morally corrupt.
Couple of things: The Christmas tree is not a Christian tradition. I know the room probably likes the idea that it would, and that's why Jordy says it, but it's not. It's derived from Scandinavian Yule. 0:55 Radicals show the same personality traits no matter their affiliation. That means that radical leftists are the same as ultra-right neo-Nazis. They're highly disagreeable, yet conscientious and care more about the cause than anything because it fulfills a sense of purpose and a sense of belonging at the same time (that's also why they are mostly men). 1:11 The praying in public part is to fulfill those senses of purpose and belonging. It's how radicals align their identity with the cause. 1:17 Every side uses claims similar to "I'm against poverty" because it's something everyone agrees on. That does two things: 1. Because the public agrees with you on that small part, it tends to think you must be right about the whole issue, which is not necessarily the case. 2. It gives you the opportunity to show you're morally superior. Here's another familiar one: "I am pro-life." Nowadays, protest is increasingly sloganized: "Black Lives Matter," "There are only two genders." The slogans themselves are designed to be a universal truth that is hard to deny, making it seem like the thought behind them is truthful by association. However, factually all of those issues are way more nuanced than the designers of the movement want you to believe. 2:22 I agree with the statement that productive solidity is admirable and that a practical contribution is worth something more than just spewing words out of a feeling of moral superiority. That's why it's such a shame that radicals on all sides of the spectrum take hold of the public conversation and polarize the debate. It turns the large productive and nuanced group in the middle into victims that feel they have to choose sides. 2:59 While having a productive contribution to society is admirable, I disagree that they have the moral upper hand. This is what Jordy loves to do, and it's at the core of conservatism: the idea that keeping things the way they are is the moral high ground. And that is just plain untrue. We could argue over whether it is a sin to not question the moral base you build your society on, but the fact is that, unlike Jordy always makes it out to be, nature is not static. Progression is our nature. And progression is necessary, desirable, and morally superior because it's literally the way forward. I do agree that in these polarizing times, the way progression is sometimes forced upon the unwilling in an aggressive and entitled way is often appalling. 6:00 Isn't it funny how "Hollywood hedonists" do not get a further nuance but "Wall Street psycopaths" do? And that nuance is that those Hollywood people created a parody. Way to pander, Jordy. 6:25 That moderator is as dumb as a sack of lugnuts. Why invite a psychology professor for a debate and then claim that you don't have to defend yourself at all and that you're right by nature simply because your point-of-view come from conservative tradition? Baffling stupidity. 6:47 I agree that in some way lots of institutions are under attack from radicals, but those radicals are definitely not always left leaning. Yes the situation in American universities has gotten out of hand, but in lower education the right wing radicals are censoring vital topics to be discussed, like sexuality and (black) history. Women's and gay's rights are being reclaimed by conservatives and every attempt to stop school shootings is shot down. Imagine living in a country where your 6 year old kid has to do school shooting drills only because your congressmen are in the pockets of the NRA. Imagine that. To me, the university situation pales in comparison. And more than two-thirds of Americans agree with me that, at least in the gun debate, progression is the only way forward to a better society.
There was a time, not so long ago, that MLK Jr. and Nelson Mandela were called radicals, and the latter, a terrorist. It's naïve to think that things change without radical activism. We have the vote for minorities, for women, we have the weekend and overtime pay and lead taken out of our gasoline. Maybe the bigger problem is the squares of this world are so unhip their pants are falling down.
Very insightful. I wish I could hear more of that lecture rather than a snippet. I’d like to hear Mr. Peterson’s view on how to handle a snake-in addition to prayer to God Almighty
Imma young guy and had similar sympathies, empathy is a good thing, but boringly the answers lie in the middle, some lefty compassion (reasonably) and conservative sense (reasonably)
In praising C. S. Lewis, Austin Farrer wrote, "Though argument does not create conviction, lack of it destroys belief. What seems to be proved may not be embraced; but what no one shows that ability to defend is quickly abandoned. Rational argument does not create belief, but it maintains a climate in which belief may flourish." I am thankful to those who help to provide the needed "climate."
This makes absolute sense. Many young people during this time went off the rails and had a hard time admitting they had made the wrong choices. One of the most satisfying ways to make an about face is to immerse yourself in Christ’s teachings. It is not always easy to be a good Christian but the reason and plan for your life is there to be discovered. Following it will bring purpose and true happiness to your life.
This guy is right on target in my opinion. I have been a champion of these views long before most Americans even thought of things political. I graduated high school in 1981 but didn't start college until 1990. So I was older than the rest of the students. I was working towards a Political Science major which I earned a Bachelors in by 1994. I went to a jr. college my first 2 years and other than a class called "Man and Energy" which went towards my science prerequisites none of the classes at that school were politically biased or mission focused. Then I went to USF(University of South Florida, GO BULLS) and that changed quickly. I had one old German descent professor who was politically middle of the road back then. He would be considered a far Right-Wing Fascist lunatic on a campus today speaking of free speech, equal law blind to race, gender or political views along with notions of potential prosperity thru hard honest work, respect for our elders and the belief that ones' actions are what matter not what self-serving activists claim you are because of race, gender or history. He was obviously a lunatic. Almost all of my other instructors in political, social, and historical type classes were from somewhere in the Mid-East. I guess USF was having problems finding American Instructors that shared the administrations' views on politics, history and culture. All of the America hating "Mid-East" adjunct professors made it clear how they felt about any politician such as Reagan or institution that was not chastising America for its' many worldly and internal bad deeds. I often was at odds verbally with them and even though many of the students, especially male students, agreed with me I was the only student to question their biased Anti-American opinions out loud in class. I believe young female students are more susceptible to anti-parent and anti-tradition propaganda due to the larger amount of behavior restricting parental authority used on them as children than male students received as children. My public dissention was probably not due to some type of courage but just the difference between a 20yr old and a 30yr old student. Even classes in non-political or historical fields such as psychology(opinions disguised as science) were used to foster negative feelings of parental and traditional authority in young students to further promote the radical self-serving doctrine. That was 30 years ago. Fast forward to now and 30 years of promoting young peoples' natural rebellious attitude towards parents and any other behavior limiting institution, tradition or authority all while rooting out any dissenting voices or views in media and classroom to the "message" and I can only imagine what an unhindered anti-everything and everyone from the past blue-collar hating activist rebellion jerk-__f session it will be in the near future for a few clever folks. The rest of us will be looking for food and shelter while wondering what happened while we were at work and the kids were at school, watching tv or on the computer.
I have had two businesses that helped provide jobs for individuals over the years. Employees who helped grow a businesses were the sum of the parts was proudly creating the whole. We worked together, not only at the jobs at hand, yet more importingly added to each other's life every day. Family's come in all forms...we became as close as some families just by our common respect for one another. Back in the day our government had so little respect for small business companies, even though we made 75% of the work force and providing jobs and incomes for others.
"In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,"
@@DrMontague Death entered the world through sin and death spread to all for all have sinned. But if death reigned through all men because man's sin, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
@@morefiction3264 According to the trinity jesus was god incarnate therefore jesus drowned babies and children in his flood and demanded cruel death sentences. You will believe any crap!
Peterson is the intellectual titan of our time...think Thomas Aquinas, Newton, Johann Goethe, Shakespeare. They were all game-changers. He will be remembered.
The Interviewer says in reference to defending a position against leftists, "Yeah, you're a nut and I'm moving on." That's what we used to say to all the wackadoodles. These days the wackadoodles are given way too much air time.
In times past, the crazies stood on a soapbox on the street corner to preach, or maybe printed a newspaper that nobody read. Now they can blast their message across the planet in milliseconds, and they can repeat it endlessly at virtually no cost. Even though they are a small vocal minority, they can make it seem as though they're actually numerous. In addition, they can use threats of reprisal to keep the opposition scared. They are basically terrorists.
It's because the wackadoodles kept talking and not everyone just moved on. Even a lie can win if it is the only competitor. When the wackadoodles talk it gives an opening for us to counter their points. We won't win by talking their air time, we win by putting a conservative next to them during all the air time. As long as someone speaks the truth, the lie can't win.
Love the pushback from Peterson here 6:48 and wholeheartedly agree. We must learn to communicate the fundamental reasons underlying our worldview, not just move on.
Never play the radicals game, everytime you do you give them credibility, if you act like they have the right to demand something of you, you are in effect GIVEN them that right, and you cant take it back, and they will use YOUR compliance as an example till force even more people to comply.
@fredrikjohansson7854 I tell this to people often, especially with the Gun debate here in USA,... Do NOT let Leftists/Socialist dictate the Language ! Do NOT fall for the Trap ! I used to fall for frantically trying to defend my "need" for owning a Firearm any time a Leftist asked me why I "NEED" one,... Then I realised that I CAN have a Firearm & I WANT a Firearm so I don't have to explain or defend my "need" to anyone 😎
