Hats off, superb!

Mind blown. Never had I considered asking the question, "Why are you not afraid?" Particularly when engaging in something unknown or going to an unfamiliar place. I've struggled with inadequacy, but thought it was just that I had a low self esteem. Now I realize that what I'm doing is self preservation. That's not to say I shouldn't try something new, go somewhere I've never been, etc. Instead, it is rational for me to have apprehension or some nervousness until I feel "safe." What's especially interesting is that this sensation doesn't abate with age, but actually increases. I wonder if that is due to how hard-wired our brains become as we get older. There's a resiliency among young people--I felt fearless in my youth--which allows for better adjustments to change. I imagine that is due to the fact the world is still new and a wild place--an unknown. Fascinating, Dr. Peterson. Thank you for sharing this lecture with us. You're such a blessing to me!

I think that anxiety, once you accept that it is a necessary function/emotion, you can harness the negative feelings for long term positive results. I have honestly made some of the quickest and positive life changes as a result of an unpleasant anxiety episode. And the daily minor worries seem to keep my memory and cognitive function on point. There were times where I didn't stop and remind myself that the discomfort is temporary. When I didn't force myself to act urgently upon the sense of dread, the anxiety seemed to build up slowly. It was after several of these occasions I was on the verge of having a panic attack. I try to seek a healthy level of anxiety to deter complacency. I am always striving for better because if I'm not making improvements, I'm getting worse over time by staying complacent.

The piece on disgust was particularly excellent in my opinion. Regarding disgust and totalitarian thinking, one thing interested me that wasn't mentioned: There's a paradox in which easily disgusted people tend to eroticize extremely disgusting things. An example would be a criminal priest. On the one hand he's high in the dominance hierarchy of a purity religion, including a mandatory initiation of water immersion for cleansing and a purer water birth. So extreme is it, that it's believed that a single sin corrupts and invalidate the entire being, and this cleansing is needed. Everybody's familiar with it, but consider how often terms like "carnal" and "flesh" are used in a derogatory way. Purity and perfection are constant. To stay pure of this extreme view of disgust, the priest is celibate for life, and virginity is idolized in "The Virgin Mary" (note it's not "Mary the Virgin", emphasis their own). Yet these men regularly molest little children, paradoxically corrupting innocence, so much so it's an epidemic in the Church. It makes sense though. From the priest's perspective, these kids are soon to grow up and "lose their innocence" to many impure thoughts and actions. The priest is (from theirs and the community's perspective) a pillar of this sort of purity. In effect, the perfect individual to initiate the most innocent children "purely" into the corruption of adulthood, rather than letting "the world" inevitably do it. They may even privately experience delusions of self-sacrifice and martyrdom, "I did this for you." From the priest's perspective, being the holy initiation to puberty and masturbation and sexual development must be how the molestations are convoluted into a pure act. This may also be why they target little boys particularly. To this end, this sort of mentality seems to go berserk when the highly disgusted individual converges with arrogance and declares themselves pure after a long history of related ritual (Hitler's bathing many times a day, veganism, etc.). At that juncture, as with Hitler, they anoint themselves to begin "cleansing" process, which is when they make contact with their sense of disgust and perpetrate the paradoxically disgusting behavior, thus viewing themselves as a sort of release valve, filter, or conduit to a broader purity. This may be the destiny of very disgusted people and the latter end of their rituals once they feel they're sufficiently cleansed to begin scouring their projections.

I think your analysis is overly speculative and limited due to its anti-Catholicism. The reality is much simpler. Pedophiles tend to desire positions where they can get access to their prey and also respected positions where people trust them. Men with very strong disordered sexual desires and a lack of interest in adult women have sometimes sought out the priesthood in order to hide and pretend to be normal for being unmarried men. I don't think there is anything about the Catholic priesthood which in itself turns men into pedophillic monsters; the overwhelming majority of priests aren't like that and I think these pedophiles would have sought out other avenues for their desires if they hadn't priests. But unfortunately due to lax controls at various points predators have been allowed to get away with their crimes and that is where the real scandal lies.

Great on so many levels. I wish i'd heard you in my 20s. Your lectures make me smarter so thanks. A question in regard to dominance hierarchies, you fail to mention that many at the top top top of dominance hierarchies throughout history are products of heritage and nepotism. King, I.E. there was no need for ability to rise to the top and yet they were there. could common man have subconsciously or biologically what have you have invented a man of humble beginnings to be a light that anyone can become at the top of the dominant hierarchy. And if thoughts like this began to undermine power structures is it not feasible that they would seek to corrupt it in some way. Which i presume you will agree with. But primarily i'd like to know your thoughts on how prevalent nepotism in "tribes" contributes to your theory of dominance hierarchies.

@MarcusEMunya

6 жыл бұрын

Harvey Graham I think nepotism is a part of the hierarchy itself, to the extent that it maintains or strengthens social relationships among those at the top of the dominance hierarchy. For example, marriages of power. I base this on one of petersons other lectures where he mentions that apes at the very top of the dominance hierarchy WILL be overthrown if they don't maintain enough mutually beneficial relationships with subordinate members of the hierarchy because two apes of 3/4 his strength can easily overthrow them. So, in answer to your question, the brute Force or power of one individual head of any dominance hierarchy over his subordinates must also be tempered by the maintenance of a positive relationship with those subordinates. I think you can see how the monarchy of France fell pray to this by belittling the needs by those at the bottom of the hierarchy to the breaking point where enough people with enough power felt aggrieved enough to violently overthrow them. That's just my unresearched understanding from JBPs lectures though.

@Jack Millward Thanks for your answer. I was bit before, but that is not the source of my fear. It is not the pain I fear I think. It is more of a loss of control: flying insects have pretty unpredictable movements, and wasps are known to attack even when they are not provoked. So they are little unpredictable flying psychopaths... I'm not sure how I can learn not to react instinctively.

14:23 in my personal view the human being cannot be saved by himself. Even he is wandering to be far away to every ideological possesion that appears to him through history, and searches for this place of which everything emerges (that place every pragmatic attends like "drink the water"), in my case that place was found (and not created like some created value) by faith. That impossible thing to explain, can be maybe inside biology in some deep level of analysis. Why female need that kind of men, in the core of creation, the nurture. To be nourished. We want a men, or we want God in essence?. To be loved, from core to every thing created. Thanks professor Peterson for your classes, I really enjoy them!

I wouldn't think value creation would be somethibg like forcing yourself to study for 3 hours, rather thinking in terms of Tolstoy's confessions, an alternative solution exists besides faith and religion. In Buddhism, arguably, there is a style of thinking which would basically show that you can't count on anything, not even religion. Clinging to something would be like clinging to another person as you're falling. You might think it stops you, but you're still falling. The solution in some sense would be to recognize the nihilism, something like Bodhidarma's "Vast emptiness, nothing holy." Thinking in terms of his description of post modernity: rejection of grand narratives. Buddhism also rejects grant narratives, especially Chan or Zen Buddhism. Whereas religion solves Tolstoy's problem by a trick, by positing a structure like religion to keep score and so make the finite meaningful against the infinite, Buddhism accepts the worst possible scenario: vast emptiness, nothing holy. And within that, within acceptance of nihilism and nothingness, it finds something else. Something like Camus' quote "In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." That is, when you take it all away and accept death and the fact that nothing means anything and really go far out on that view and really accept it and face it, at the end of it you don't run out of meaning, but find it again. Rather all of the fear of nihilism really comes from not pushing hard enough on the bounds, almost like looking over a cliff at the end of religion, but not actually jumping.

Free therapy session. That's what this is.

Giving as options of non religious moral systems of value the Nazi Germany (allied with the church and led by a religious fanatic), Russia from Stalin, Mao's China and North Korea "necrocracy" (as Hitchens put it) is weird. As Hitchens said: "You'd have to point to a society that adopted the teachings of Lucretius, Spinoza, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Albert Einstein, and then fell into famine, dictatorship, torture, and genocide. And you won't, I think, be able to point to such."

Religion and culture are such powerful vehicles for values because it frames said values within a greater narrative that's been distilled from thousands of years of human behavior. It is not something that is easily replaceable. People like Thomas Jefferson were simply drawing from existing intellectual frameworks that have taken centuries to establish. A system that's been uprooted from it's founding elements is just a flimsy collection of superficial ideas that are at the complete mercy of the political climate, as they are not anchored by weight of history, and lack emotional or intellectual gravitas that can deeply appeal to the individual. Peterson uses the failed Communist regimes as examples because 100's of millions of human lives is not something you can just wave away. It is an indictment of the kind of ideas that are making a big comeback, and it warrants furious criticism based on past results, which no one half-intelligent wants repeated.
