On this episode of the Jordan Peterson Podcast, Jordan was joined by Yeonmi Park. Yeonmi Park is a North Korean defector and human rights activist trying to shine a light on the atrocities still being committed in North Korea by the current Kim regime. She wrote her experiences into a bestseller, ‘In Order to Live.’ She tells stories of her childhood and escaping to remind the world of how terrible things are for North Koreans.
Jordan and Yeonmi discussed various topics: her escape from North Korea, her slavery in China, and the frustration and disappointment she experienced pursuing a humanities degree at Columbia.
In Order To Live is available at (www.amazon.com/Books-Yeonmi-P...,

@kyuhotae6410 Good point. I also reacted to some of her non-verbals and a number of other signals my trade has taught me to be wary of. I think there is much truth to her testimony but neither can I shake the reaction my intuition fired off a good number of times during this interview. Like she herself said: ""People are complex."" I would not write it ALL off. Yet, there is some healthy skepticism I will keep about multiple aspects of this testimony. PS There are NO mainstream denominations of Christianity that claim sins can be too great for forgiveness. Certainly not for prostitution. Jesus healed and forgave many prostitutes during his ministry and one of them became the first person to be told the good news of Jesus' resurrection by Jesus himself in the Garden of Gethsemane. According to ALL congregations of standard Biblical Christianity ALL sins are forgiven the sincerely repentant sinner. But to the unrepentant who actively CHOOSE to despise the sacrifice and redemption of God's Son...in other words the sin of rejecting God's forgiveness itself in condemning the mercy of Christ toward his repentant creation, there is no healing of sins and thus they remain. Even blaspheming God's name and blaspheming His Son is forgiven by God to the repentant sinner. But how can one who despises the Holy Spirit when it comes with forgiveness be forgiven? This is what Jesus taught. Perhaps there was a simple misunderstanding on her part and she mistakenly THOUGHT that the missionary said she could not be forgiven? Something does not add up about that part of her story.

I find the arrogance of Columbia University's lecturers in assuming that they can teach Yeonmi Park about oppression utterly nauseating.

@Jalide 3 года назад

That has always been the case for decades. I've listened to lectures and read many instances of Western academics and professors praising the Cultural Revolution and "debunking" Chinese survivor and escapee accounts of the brutality of Maoist China as exaggeration because they claim that they were also there (which is true). Many Western academics went to China during the Cultural Revolution but unlike the ordinary citizen these people were treated as guests by the communists so they get to experience the pageantry and parades and were not shown the reality. This is no different from those Potemkin Villages shown to Western journalists who visited the USSR where the government created villages with prisoners were supposed to live happily and prosperously so these journalists can report back to the West that the anti-communist activists were just crazy paranoid right-wing lunatics and communism wasn't so bad. I apologize for this long reply.

He is the greatest human being, the example of what we all should be...

@talbotd27 Год назад

People love to mock Jordan for becoming emotional somewhat frequently when he’s doing interviews. But honestly I think he’s just highly empathetic and really feels these people’s pain. He’s seen the broken people coming to his events and telling him how beaten down they are. How could you not become emotional when you’ve seen so many people fight through so much. Yeonmis appearance on Flagrant was a little cringe worthy because she was sitting there talking about some of these horrific things and the guys were sitting there cracking jokes every 5 seconds and talking about her eating rats non stop.

@@alysgrant6732 You got the first part right. Pretty much all Christian denominations do believe in original sin and that all people are sinners. However, the second part is heavily dependent on who's preaching the gospel. Millions of people ascribe to the Christian faith, so there is no way on God's green earth that we will all believe the same things. So yes, there is a Christian missionary who believes that prostitution is a sin that cannot be cleansed (despite the very popular belief that one of the most prominent female figures in the new testament was formerly a prostitute) and there are Christians who would be deeply disgusted with him telling a victim of rape that she's irredeemable.

@nellkellino-miller7673 Год назад

Like it or not, organised religions have a tendency of attracting people with a lot of shame related to bodily functions. I won't play armchair psychiatrist here, but I've met enough puritanical christians to know it's something to be wary of. That's not to say I'm against spirituality at all, but while many do a lot of good, many missionaries are really just ideologues projecting their own fear and insecurities onto vulnerable people, while hiding behind the image of piety and spiritual purity.

@maintaint3003 3 года назад

I don't know you, but you used the phrase "ultimate warning sign" and I can't fit that into my map of reality. I feel like you are free to do whatever you want, and so are your neighbors, the police and everybody else. Limiting yourself by weighting the consequences of your actions is just basic intelligence, and the western world is relatively more free, as a whole and for most people, than North Korea indeed. In the future, there will probably be a fully realistic virtual world, where you can be as free as you want, and you can see the value of your freedom from the amount of your viewers, and the feedback that they provide. Before that, the damage from, say 300 million people feeling absolutely free to indulge whatever crosses their mind, seems unbearable. Sorry if this seems condescending, but it's just how I feel. Maybe I missed some kind of joke or a deeper point, so feel free to expand.

For the majority of people in the Western World, things have never been easier, cheaper, safer, or better by almost any metric, but people are being told their victims of oppression. Better still, people who’ve never known real violence will teach generations of people that using certain words are equivalent to violence. We are so far removed from our natural survival state that we should collectively be cheering in the streets every damned day!

“What made you stay alive?” I love that he asked this question. So often you will tell someone you want to die and bc you don’t take any action, they assume you just say thing. “For attention” a lot will say. Sometimes people have thoughts or “callings” as they are about to take their life, and realize they still have something to live for.

no, you misunderstood... she doesn't pity us... let me phrase it how it actually is. She escaped hell in a set of events that can only be deemed beyond lucky, some might even call it an act of God. As she finally left the hell of being opressed, she comes to the western world where she learns she has to opress herself in the highest levels of education. The core of the society. Imagine what this does to her. Being at the university was exactly how they forced them back in North Korea to not think, to blindly believe lies, to have guilt by association. all this PC garbage. It's all communist ideology. She realised, that she never truely escaped that hell-hole, but in a spiritual way and because she literally LIVED it... imagine how fucking distraught she must have been at the realisation of "I actually never escaped". Think about that one. I mean, go back and listen that's literally what she said, but with other words.

I have always been engrossed listening to autobiographical accounts of people who survived the holocaust, and those of men and women who evidenced incredible bravery against nearly insurmountable obstacles, such as Sir Douglas Mawson who went to Antarctica prior to the Great War, and Yeonmi's life story deserves a place of reverence and respect for her phenomenal courage and determination to survive, as have these others. I grew up in domestic violence, and I found it validating to learn from a therapist that when you're living in essentially a war zone, whatever you do to survive is the right course of action. I had to dissociate to survive, and in hindsight, I had PTSD as a child, so I feel very much for Yeonmi experiencing shame about working at the call centre instead of prostituting herself 💔 She has NOTHING to be ashamed about. She made the best decision from the few horrible choices she had. Precious girl.❤️ Precious young woman ❤️ God bless her, and heal her broken heart.❤️
