Man, I could listen to this man speak for hours. The ability to analyze, dissect and bring into clarity so many deep and disparate subjects-and how they interact-is what makes JBP a next level genius.

Man thank you so goddamn much. I'm 17 years old and so that makes me a little bit on the impulsive end of things--always looking for meaning in little installments here and there. I watched Maps of meaning for the first time like 8 months ago when I was depressed beyond belief, refused to try new things, and vowed to torture myself by "self-induced catatonia" where I'd just basically sit and do nothing (besides fixate my gaze on some point on my ceiling or wall) for all my free time, like 5 hours a day at least. That went on for like 2 years and then I recovered a little but I still had that thick fog of nihilism around me. And man, Maps of meaning didn't do it overnight but (slowly) it built me a conceptual model for understanding the world that really matched my temperament. I've rewatched it again 3 months ago and I'm gonna do it again now (I don't think I ever watched the 2015 version anyway).

So religions/paradigms are a sort of complete structure, a lens through which to filter chaos. The sort of philosophy the professor is giving here itself is a paradigm, but this paradigm is one that allows the entirety of any other paradigm to be viewed. Most viewpoints/perspectives disassemble other paradigms. This is a lens that allows other lenses to viewed that would otherwise be invisible. It is also a thing which gives birth to paradigms as well, like a sort of tool that creates tools. Good stuff. I wish I could chat with the man.

KiwiFuel So true - It seems i can see flaws in every way of viewing almost anything, even keeping out of tricky philosophical stuff. I used to want to know just the facts and to have them plain and clear. When it comes to more complex issues the only way to have a good understanding is by keeping them complex. It means for every aspect of everything, you have to keep in mind the % influence on the others, and errors inherent in everything, so how is it really possible to judge anything as it really IS? It seems only by going around it over and over, in and out and then you start to get a good understanding. And then it seems impossible to explain it to anyone properly ... especially to those who it seems like it would be such a benefit to know, because they know so little of it. It sure seems useless sometimes, to make a claim without all the background for the other person to be able to accept it somewhat. I'd rather they NOT "accept" it usually, because the whole point is to know what supports the idea. How many times i have started to make a video from one section of Peterson's lectures, or copy and paste an insightful section of a book, only to find myself an hour later, with pages of copied text or video. I have a tendency to want a theory of everything, but nothing can stand on its own. I need to adopt a Darwinian philosophy for transmitting knowledge - lol- i just heard that, listening to this again as i comment. "Good enough" to transmit what i need to, be it my genes (as i am a single entity) or a single idea (i am not going to elighten the world).

Phil C Yeah! The crazy things about facts is that they don't come packaged with what ought to be done with them.

A peculiar trend online is "SCIENCE SAYS XYZ." As someone who studies science, hammered into our heads is 'Science doesn't say anything, findings are merely suggestions under specific conditions.' I'm finding that most the time, we don't even know the full extent of those conditions. Generally speaking, people have given science the authority of an all-knowing creator. What "science says" is taken as absolutes. The reality is that science is anything but an absolute. I've come to the conclusion that people want absolutes because it is a simplification. Creatures are hard-wired to minimize any energy expenditure, one can assume that includes our thoughts. It's difficult to piece together "truth" because of scale. And humans haven't evolved to consider all scales. You have to force that kind of thinking. It's like what you, Jordan, were getting at with things breakdown the smaller you get. Where my life is leading me is the idea that nothing is absolute but much is conditional. For my own survival and the survival of humans as a social group, I must regulate myself as a moral being navigating a physical world. Social and personal morality cannot be substituted by Science. Science cannot provide meaning. And I believe in a world without meaning and full of absolutes, you end up with people who are certain of one condition. It's ultimately nihilistic. My version of your obsession with the cold war, is the return of Marxist philosophies.

Yeah, we regulate ourselves around others for pragmatic reasons, if we didn't interaction would be insufferable. It's why people reject SJWs, they try to break the rules and regulate interaction, which in turn is counterproductive. Like the regulations when it comes to men interacting or joking with and about women are just making men drop out of interactions with women. It's obvious this would happen, but SJWs don't know jack-shit about human interaction so they just claim that it's sexism or some shit. There are objective truths, but that's in the hard sciences. Applied sciences, social sciences and humanities also hold objective truths, but they are broad and are sort of an umbrella under which all the extremes variations fall. I usually express that I know nothing, but I believe that that philosophy is to keep yourself intellectually humble by always examining what you think you know. Postmodernists deny meaning, especially overarching meaning, they're basically deconstructionist + Marxist + nihilist.

Jordan is a hair younger than me. Talk to the people now in their 70-80..... find out what they experienced as children. One of my earliest memories is an aunt and my mother talking about the war in South Korea.... I know by how they were talking it was not at all a good thing. I was about 6 - When we move from a small town to St. Louis.... every thing changed.... no more extended family dropping by.... strangers in school.. different levels of subjects... and then a couple of years later I remember air raid sirens going off all of the time. But the ones that were really terrifying were the ones that we had to hide from (bombs) that might hit our school. We had to hunker down under our desks just in case it go hit. (the bombs were only imaginary - but just the though was terrifying. I spent many sleepless nights in Jr. High and High School fantasizing how I would survive. The scenarios were many. I got over it a bit in the 70's... and for a hair in the late 60's. In the mid 70's - 80's the anti war movements, feminism, drugs in some ways were far worse than the 60's 70's. Everything was popping, including the environmental groups, As well as new families who began to raise babies, and the beginning of the Service Economy which managed to gradually affect a long of industry, farming, small businesses, moral values, church, divorce rates, and less variety in the job market skills and income. It felt like we were all living on a run away train. With all of that an more in past, I have to say I really don't know if we will make it this time...because most people are still asleep as to the whole of our reality.... they do not even have the same information and what new is out is always twisted, or out and out lies, thereby the division of the American People. It is that division that is our greatest weakness and has been for decades. But please do not give up you thoughts, ideas, goodness.... the future is in our hands and our will power.

Synteny maps provide an interesting visual of genomic similarities between species. The easiest maps to understand are ones that compare the chromosome sets of two species. For one species, each chromosome is assigned a unique colour; all genes on that chromosome are one colour. The second species each chromosome will be shown as a mish-mash of those colours because the colours correspond to genes of similarity to Species A, the colour identifies where in species A it is found. In the end, you see just how similiar many species are in terms of basic genetic material. Differences are found in the order of genes.

In the beginning of indo-european society, there were 3 classes: the warriors, in charge of defending the people; the farmers, who produced foods and tools; and the priests, head of the religious rites and stories. The King was chosen as the one guy who was the best at all the three classes at the same time. So he had to be a formidable warrior, a great worker and a wise priest, all at the same time. That is the kind of man worthy to be called King

Spandrel was used to argue against people thinking everything was selected for by natural selection directly. People don't necessarily claim something is a spandrel if they don't know a use for it. Probably since evo-devo has really developed and matured people don't really think in those terms anymore, although I am more familiar with molecular developmental biology than something like evolutionary behaviorism. I wouldn't be surprised if many younger faculty members who specialize in developmental biology don't even know the term. Certainly most grad students in molecular and cell biological programs wouldn't.

Just after 3:00 Peterson hits on a more modern explanation of evolution. A dance between the environment and the organism. But it's not a dance. The organism follows the environment as Bruce Lipton explains how cells work in biology of belief. Cells receive signals from the environment through receptors in the cell membrane. Receptors then activate proteins which performs a function. Proteins don't do a thing unless it is activated by a signal. Selection seems to be a mischaracterization. Nature doesn't select, it dictates. Genetic changes are not random. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJ6ektqPfZfeYaw.html

That nietzsche quote "I write in one sentence what other people couldn't write in an entire book" I think that it would only be possible to discuss complex things as a distillation. It's not anything too crazy to say really. And we all do it all the time. When we think about a human being. We see his face and his body, arms and legs too. Yet we do not think of the bones muscles and cells and atoms that make up that man. There is no point in over explaining things because it could go on forever.

The Cuban missile crisis was in 1962 and the magnificent film Dr Strangelove was put out in 1964, only two years later. Quick insight maybe. The second Cold War in the 80s, Thatcher, Reagan years also passed. The nuclear deterrent has operated for about 80 years and we’re still here. It’s impossible to compute probabilities on nuclear war but as time continues to pass, things look safer, especially if the World becomes even more United.

The ability to decide whether we are under any form of control in the "conspiracy sense" really comes down to the ability to self analyse and understand where the root of thoughts come from, in a deeper sense than so far conveyed in this lecture. A starting point in civilisation would be to study language and the limitations created by linguistic minimalism but not only that, what restrictions are already present without the addition of linguistic minimalism. Also on the topic of money, does it really serve a natural system, or does it benefit those who create and run the moneyed system? To extend this idea into the subject matter presented, how does a moneyed system interfere with a natural human system of needs and values? By the way I don't believe in communism, socialism or fascim (or any other ism for that matter) before anybody jumps to conclusions!

Peterson was born in June 1962. He was four months old at the time of the Cuban missile crisis. That was a peak of general fear. I don't know anybody that ever got that worried again about nuclear destruction. Except perhaps Russians !

Look at that young man!

My own view is that in a society with larger hierarchical structures, there is a tendency for psychpathic individuals and those with similar traits to get to the top as they are easily able to act the part of the ideal person without any moral integrity. A psychpathic character without conscience or empathy will be able to do literally anything to maintain power and the dominance of the ego increases a lust for power. In older tribal structures, these people would have been rooted out and a little accident would have befallen them, perhaps on a hunting trip. You get to a very dangerous place when society grows as large as it is today because it becomes very difficult to root out people like that. Much of the planned future is written by the RIIA and their sub group CFR etc so it is likely that Nietzsche had access to the establishment and knew the agenda, refer to Alan Watt to find extensive documented research on this topic.

J. Peterson is a cyborg that is fueled by Diet Coke. No human can talk intelligently for an hour without notes and then do another lecture that is completely different the next week also without notes.

Russia used slave labor for the following reason: Russia has no geographical barrier protecting them from Western invasion. The West had already invaded them twice before WWII. In order to defend against such invasions, they needed to hold on to the land to their east. Even these days, Russia doesn't really have the option to contract in the east without threatening national collapse. They don't have the manpower to hold on to the east without dictatorial government and harsh policies. On top of that, they were trying to modernize at a rapid pace because they believed a capitalist invasion was imminent owing to flawed Marxist analyses of economics. And the country was being run by brutal men who cared nothing for personal freedom. Stalin was literally a bank robber.

A verse in the bible, and I was taken up into the third heaven. And I wondered what in the hell that meant, because I studied the Bible and I had never heard of the Idea of 3 different heavens. So like the Bible says to do, I thought about it, meditated on it, and then prayed about it. And then, "light bulb" I realized there is the heavens that the birds fly through, our atmosphere, then there is the heavens, where the starry hosts are, the cosmos. Then there is where we all conceive of where God resides, the "Heaven". And when I realized this, I was like duh, stupid. And that is when I realized that the ancients were not as stupid as we think. We have forgotten a lot of what they took for granted as ordinary knowledge, with out which people are cast off from their moorings and are clueless like the professor says quite a bit about the modern day atheists.

'You can make a case that deep value structures that drive us are real' Yes, but that doesn't preclude materialism. All the materialist would say is that the deep value structures which we feel are in fact just atoms and chemicals and energy bouncing around in your brain, being self-perceived by our consciousness. When religious people reject materialism what they are really rejecting is the idea of material cause and effect, because they want to believe that people have a free will which is not caused by material phenomena but rather by some kind of immortal soul. That is the proposition that materialists argue against. Not that ideas and values and whatnot that consciousnesses can have or perceive are not in any sense at all real. Just that such things are actually just our consciousnesses self-perception of actual material and energy that actually exists inside our own brains. I guess another way to put it is that there is a clear and fundamental difference between saying that an idea exists, and that there is an actual physical token of that idea that also must exist in the material world. Materialists agree that we have ideas--but they disagree that those ideas must necessarily have a corresponding physical existence other than natural physical phenomena that's happening inside your own brain when you have those ideas.

But I do think that we understand enough from a philosophical standpoint to be able to say that the brain is a purely material entity. How exactly it works is the next question, but the question that it works purely materially is basically asked and answered. It's sort of like saying that the fact that there are still unanswered questions about how quarks behave at the quantum level could imply that there is something supernatural about how lightbulbs work.

+Nic Hautamaki also as an aside, it is a mistake to think that an absence of knowledge gives you proof of anything. this is like what the creationist does is it not? "we have not found yet but this is proposition is true" is obviously logically unsound.

darklord220 I just don't know why you would say ' reductive or eliminative materialism'. The only thing that materialism reduces or eliminates is the supernatural. By definition all other natural phenomenon are compatible with the materialist viewpoint.

Art or beauty is not pragmatic but people have an interest in it. You're building a pyramid of values based on pragmatism. It doesn't always work. People can be disinterested. Curiosity and wonder aren't always colored by the practical.

The Pandoras box, the guilt or the Gilt, the trick laid out by Zeus, the service of the Arachnid of Aphrodite, it all seems to make sense. Livestock is paramount and wild animals and the wilderness, bread, grains and we must realise the passion of life and stop pretending to be Midas. There is a place for everyone and everything only we must be aware of these issues and not fall into a trao

So,according to Nietzsche the foundation is taken away.Does that mean there is no turning back now?Does Nietzsche have any suggestions how one should go on?

Adnan Maruf In The real her and now we know if worked fine by just removing religion in for example Sweden. no wars, no totalitarianism etc If you by religion mean wild head believes in the past dominant religion. Removing the cultural memory of the religion would require a mind wipe. I'd just by definition must have a religion as he seam to be saying. I rather use humanism/enlightenment as the cultural base of my religion.

iamagi Sweden is your example? Removing religion has left an absence in their cultural Identity and worth. Breading nihilism and disenfranchisement of the individual. They have spent the last 50 years deconstructing everything that worked and brought prosperity to them. Now they are living in a totalitarian state built on gender division. No freedom of speech, from property to personal laws are now based on emotion subjectivity instead of an impartial code. Now Islam is filling the void left behind and there is only two outcomes from this situation. They will die off as an oppressed sub citizen in their own land or an ideological/race war. Personally I think regardless of what the Swedish do. Their culture and people are mortally wounded and soon to be just another dead culture in a history filled with dead cultures.

When you see him now he’s made over. Makeup artist peeps him. Hair perfect. Sure he lost weight but that’s likely to make him more appealing to women

Daaaaang. He looks so different compared to now. Night and day difference.

@26:27+ F.w.i.w, regarding selection of mates by female humans, I am not sure historically that choice in the modern sense of ‘no pressure’ much came into it until recently, and then only in societies where the choice of ones mate is not determined by others. I think that historically a significant proportion of ‘selection’ came about through outside pressures and determination up to and including rape. For example, in the Tanakh/Old Testament, one reads of a custom of women apparently subjecting their handmaids to rape by their husbands (e.g Sarah and Hagar; Leah/Rachel and Zilpah/Bilhah; willing consent is not mentioned); or the customs of rape-slavery of the vanquished, family-arranged marriage/marriages arranged to ‘seal a deal’, child-brides and so on.
