Maps of Meaning is a great work, well worth the struggle over 15 years. I hope to learn more about it from you and put some of it into practice in my life activities and interests. I think Dr Peterson will be thought of as the Freud/Jung/et al of modern times.

These lectures are an inexhaustible source of wisdom and practicality. This is priceless. We can't thank you enough for sharing your well-earned treasure of education with us all. ❤

you have inspired me to start learning in a new way. i never attended college just trade school and finished 2 aprentiships , but im hooked on your lectures. i may be behind in pysch 101 but i can follow without confusion. THANK YOU and keep it up

Hey deftone interestingly I feel very similarly. I dripped out of school in yr 10 and then did 2 building trades. Now I am very seriously contemplating uni. If I do go Jordans lectures would definitely be the most influential catalyst that got me there. Good luck mate.

Peterson is very inspiring! I attended the university for graduate studies and I can tell you that I had some very good professors and some very poor ones. A great professor and teacher can help show you what you don’t know and how you can continue to be better. These lectures are so interesting because they combine history, psychology and philosophy in such a creative way that I’ve never seen before in any of my courses at school. Peterson is truly one of a kind and not afraid to push boundaries and challenge the norm. All of us can continue to learn to be better and it’s amazing how these things are free on KZread these days. Good luck all with your studies. It’s never too late to keep learning and growing.

I sure wish that all psychologists were a brilliant as Jordan Peterson. Really learning a long in the Maps of Meaning. We'd probably have very mentally healthy people in our nation if others even touched a bit of his skills.

Self is who you are, ego is who you think you are.

my god, Thank you so much, my life would have been destroyed if not for Dr, Jordan peterson. I thank your from the core of my heart.

I just realized his whole explanation of reality is a breakdown of the exchange in dialogue, "what do I do? Watch out for the snakes."

Weekly feedback is my big practicing reason to be a Christian. Every Sunday I pray on the hardest stuff this week at church.

“You get the chance briefly to see what that person could be like if you interacted with them the most perfect way you could. It’s like a glimpse into a potential extraordinary positive future. So the vision emerges and it shuts. And it is up to you to build it, to make it happen to take what you see and transform into reality.” Well articulated insight about love. Instead of thinking of it like “yeah it is all delusion” blabla, here is a constructive, at least a practicable plan. Thank you Mr. Peterson.

Thank you. 1:10:00 Definition of Reality

The answer to the very last question was beautiful

I encourage others whether Christian or not to pray for their highest ideals even if they're afraid. This will teach other people to support you in your goals.

Stuff ages like fine wine.

I read The Archetypes and the Collective Unconcious back in the early 90s. The Fischer King with Robin Williams was partt of this, the hero's journey. Archetypal exploration helped shape my understandings of my world when (and aftter) searching meaning in all types of religions couldn't. Mythology, or even the myths of man collectively are what help me understand myself in the world. At different times and needs in my world, this is the faith/s that temper me.

On his nephews story. Clash of the titans. Perseus's shield was used as a mirror to "see" medusa. Who is the archetype of a beautiful women. Meaning mentally reflect back the stare that attractive women give like a shield of protection "neg". To turn her to stone instead of her turning you into stone. Mythology and theology give you all the tools you need to move through life without fear. If you look deeper into the stories instead of the surface level.

23:46 What is abstraction, and what are symbols? Watch from this point on 25:47 It will blow your mind.

Two cans of soda, Dr. Peterson? Health hazard. I think the two cans of soda represent order and chaos (or Yin and Yang); Dr. Peterson is the hero, and the laptop is the unknown.

When you were discussing what does and doesn't matter, it's just like when deaf people get implants and they hear for the first time. Lots of the people that get the hearing implants end up at first begging to get them turned off because everything becomes overwhelming. The Brain eventually filters out the sounds that aren't important and then they can focus like a normal hearing person.

+Jordan B Peterson Maybe Adam is the archetypal ape who found out that being careless about poisonous fruit and snakes makes you dead, and it's awareness of that mortality that made all the other apes since then want to build civilization to help alleviate it.

What are the implications of those closing lines? How does one know if they are following the life of meaning and going about seeing the 'correct' meaning and not improper meaning?

Some of the apostles said that fasting has special value unobtainable by simply eating healthy.

So if openness manifests as the ability to vividly recall and reproduce dreams as well as reading more fiction...the line I'm drawing between the two of those is imagination and suggestion. But then there's another part of openness, manifested as seeking out psychedelic and entheogenic experiences which is a trait I presume is more common of males. So if women read more fiction and men trip more, is there a fragmentation of the openness trait going on here?

In thermodynamics, "entropy" is defined as the logarithm of the number of possible states. For that reason, it is applicable to anything that has possible states, including messages you might receive on a channel, which is the basis of "information theory." So that same principle is applicable to possible states of your own future. So, presumably, the paper argues that anxiety is a measure of the entropy of your possible futures.

Love it so far! Question: Why do more people have phobias to snakes, mice, or spiders than to other more obvious and serious predators like bears, wolves, tigers etc? If humans' fear of snakes has been assumed to come from our ancestors' trouble with snakes, then what's the explanation for other threats that haven't made their way in our biological endowment?

@MrGiuanin

6 жыл бұрын

I'm sure you weren't asking me, but here goes my theory: mice, snakes and insects tend to share the same habitat as humans, thus representing a real, daily threat. On the contrary, bears and tigers were exceptional encounters. Wolves are dogs, and we all love dogs. Moreover, my biology teacher back in highschool once told us that the reason we're so grossed out by mice is that they're our prime evolutionary rivals: that's why a single mouse may actually look cute to somebody, while a bunch of mice is almost universally disgusting. (I'm not lecturing you, I just thought your question was really interesting)

Your car dies. What is the territory that it presents itself to you? Many things? Yes, many things if you live in your subjectivity. Another car might drive by and not stop. The aliens might land and try to help you start your car. They might get Osiris to look at your car with his one eye. The worlds of possibilities open up. You are hostage to the crazy totality of your subjectivity and if you continue with the phenomenological existential view point, you would have anxiety coursing through my veins like Heidegger skiing down an icy cliff in the Black Forest.

Fasting forces your body to detoxify its fat cells and that's why it's so healthy.

Can I offer an insight that may be the one you are looking for? When you study post-colonial theory you get the sense that there is a blind spot in our thinking that was created by colonialism: that non-white societies and communities have nothing to teach, yet when you extend the set of conditions to 160 million years like you have this concept of being "uncivilized" is akin to saying that we have nothing to learn from our earlier selves; and this immediately goes against common sense and casts light on the blind spot because the current direction of scientific studies is inward and scientists have the choice of reinventing the wheel or studying what humans have discovered and created advancements about things in this world that are empirical, but not with eyesight and are akin to mysticism or consciousness. What about physics you say, its not conciousness its about the physical? Well the more we study the structure of physics the more the results make suggestions about the observer, forcing the study to go within consciousness even as the object of study goes further towards the external world. Sorry if I am not very clear, I find that I get more clarity when I have consumed cannabis, and its been a long time.
