Psychology is like your consciousness trying to learn about its neighbour, the unconscious part and then getting afraid of it

I am uncertain as to whether or not you read these Mr. Peterson. however I would just like to thank you for putting these lectures online. I work in wind turbine infrastructure and will eventually go to school. It is a few years away from me though as I have other priorities at the moment. Although I make decent money, I yearn for higher knowledge and thus look forward to college, so I am left to self education for now. individuals such as yourself make this not only plausible but practical. Anyways I just wanted to say that you are greatly appreciated and I look forward to what else you project upon the world. Forgive my repetition of thanks lol I've had a few glasses of scotch and am a bit tipsy hopefully your lecture was perceived in an adequate manner ;).

I have been thoroughly enjoying this series of lectures, and also Dr. Peterson. It is both fully engrossing and entertaining to watch and listen to this man. The world is lucky to have you, thank you for your thoughtfulness, your wisdom, and your insight.

"I mean, it checks for errors in a DNA replication string, man" - Love it every time he's genuinely impressed or fascinated with something and ends his sentence with "man".

His explanation of why men are attracted to the color red and the co-evolution of woman and ripe fruit is fascinating. His linking these ideas to the biblical story of Eve tempting Adam with an apple is more intriguing when we consider that modern biblical scholars believe the fruit Eve used to tempt Adam wasn't an apple, but a pomegranate. Why? Not all apples are red unlike pomegranates.

Lower down in the comment section you'll find a link and time to another video where he talks about the study. What it basically boils down to, and I'm paraphrasing, is that women preferred the useful/competent person over wealth. The reasoning is that these behaviours were developed during times where wealth could not be stored so "ingenuity" and potential were predicates of success in multiple environments. That potential for success was valued more as women's selection criteria over the immediate signs of wealth but with low value potential. (Although those signs or evidence of wealth are good indicators of success potential. Which is where a lot of people mistakenly judge women for seeking wealthy mates. )

I would have absolutely loved to take this class in school, it would have been the only thing I did in school that would have genuinely fascinated me.

You can more or less jump in at any point in these lectures and get something out of it. That's the beauty of listening to someone who's very articulate. It isn't so much his ideas that got me into listening to this guy, it's how he speaks. I've always admired people that can think on their feet.

1:08:27 "Oh boy, it was a great day" Hearing that realy made it a great day for me.

I'm seriously wondering if Jordan Peterson is literally a civilization upgrader.

For quite a long time I considered myself to be crazy because I would always chase after things I can't have, from the girl that said "no" to the phenomenally unattainable job promotion. Glad to know that I'm more normal than I thought, and now I can exploit my tendency by making higher goals.

That part at the end of your goal seeking micropersonalities being killed reminded me of Mr. Meeseeks

in terms of what constitutes a motivation and an emotion Jordan himself now states that a motivation is the act of moving towards an emotional state while an emotional state is the thing in itself 1:14:40

Mr Peterson, Im willing to admit im not the most well spoken and can come off as sometimes hard headed and I really found a lot of inspiration from watching videos of you and others and your perspective and grasp on reality its remarkable I truly found hope in what I hear from you and its a beautiful thing to see..I was always told treat people how you wanted to be treated and i will always live by that I love your morals and how your mind works man its special to watch i wanted to write you an email but I couldn't figure it out how to go about so i took this approach I really hope you see this...I was looking on your site to see if you were coming to an area as in Massachusetts because to watch you speak would be life changing also to have others hear you speak because its pretty liberal here and to have someone as yourself speak would really open up a lot of minds to change and hopefully have better dialogue and understanding with one another I hope you get to see this you are a beautiful soul and keep fighting for what you believe in!!!

something i noticed about the difference between autistic people with visual focus (like me) and neurotypical people is the models we build of the world. i noticed i include a huge amount of irrelevant information about the world in my models, or things that are probably irrelevant. i remember the exact layouts of every room i have ever been inside including the colors of everything and where the people were most of the time. i also remember totally irrelevant things like the colors and patterns of the floors... its possible that normal people keep much lower resolution mental images of these sorts of things, at least if what peterson says here is true.

That's an interesting question. I've been diagnosed with bipolar depression, PTSD, and self diagnosed with symptoms of OCD as a strategic defense in situations that have negatively affected my mental state, as a way of balance, however insane it may be, to alleviate stress caused by these situations. I am not particularly sure when the initial trauma was experienced to bring about PTSD, but what I do know is that as a result, my memories of places, things, numbers, layout, structural and so on is somehow imprinted without any conscious thought of my own. But remembering names, or faces, is a trial and incredibly difficult at times. The fact that I can remember seemingly useless details, yet struggle to remember the useful and logical details that could help me socially is frustrating and beyond me. I feel that the core of the issue is at the developmental level of our brain and which parts have been given the ability to grow and how that has affected other parts of our awareness positive or negatively, and as a consequence have hindered other parts of our brain that could help activate more useful memories on a greater scale, and put meaningless details in a place where they won't get in the way of the useful ones. I have zero actual evidence or explanation for this, it's merely an observation of my own that has been established from years of self introspection and analysis, partnered with years of self teaching and a thirst for understanding and knowledge into our human minds, the nature of it, what is biologically ingrained, what we instinctively understand, and how we transcend our rudimentary ways in order to transform our ability to make changes to every aspect of ourselves we are willing to admit are flawed. I hope that I haven't bored anyone reading this, but to attempt to answer your question, I believe that developmentally speaking, average humans are unconsciously aware of details that are essential for whatever the given situation. As a result, the opposite can be said of those who are developmentally different for whatever my be the cause, "normal" is not easily attained by one who's brain is not exactly "normal", at least not unconsciously. It is dependent on what parts of our brain have been developed enough to engage in the proper action for the desired results. In my opinion, people with issues whether they are born with them, or endure something that permanently alters their DNA to some degree, thus changing the structure of what parts of our brain become more dominant, individuals who seek to make these changes inspite of whatever challenges and hardships they face, if gifted with enough will and determination, can overcome the obstacles of these issues. Our minds are incredibly powerful, beyond even our current understanding, and that being said, we are capable of astounding and remarkable change, for good or bad. It all goes back to the drive behind the will for change, whatever it may be, if we put our mind, and our heart that drives our will behind it 100%, we can make the changes and alter the way we interact and what we take away from that interaction.

01:22:00 After reading Kafka's The Castle this part of your lecture kept bubbling up in my mind. The whole story is about the protagonist's dopamine reward system driving him towards his valued goal i.e. The Castle.

This lecture in particular has helped me understand why I get attached to a woman I’ve just met and we “hit it off so to speak” it’s also helped me deal with my proclivity to expect said woman to feel the same way. We think entirely different, and I have to work that conundrum out within myself. I can’t place that burden on someone else. Thank God this lecture series exists!

Dopamine coincides to blue-light spectrum activation and cortisol response, but of course needs UV assimilation for dopamine production in the frontal lobes. Blue-light destroys melatonin, so the circadian cycling is a profound component of human response Ocular melatonin convertes to pineal-gland melatonin later in the day. Case in point about blue-light stimulation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aplmyKyfmcfKqJc.html Notice between the 3.45 and 4.20 range in what is shown for the build-up of the song. Most onlookers are unaware what happens when you pulse blue-light to one's cortisol levels.

This little bit about the popcorn is one of the issues in the architectures which do not provide adequate storage in kitchens, bathrooms, and some homes. The root of frustration, and can eventually more to anger. Time + energy spent + goal.

There's something interestibg to think of around the 24:00 mark. The channel Smarter Every Day did an experiment where he rode a bike with reverse handlebars (steering right meant turning left and vice versa). It conpletely changed how his brain functioned and how his body understood how to ride a bicycle. Once he finally got the hang of it after months of practicing, he tried riding a bike again normally, and he couldn't do it! He eventually was able to, but his brain had shut off the knowledge of how to ride a bike normally. He also tried this with his son, who, since he was very young, was able to learn at a faster rate. I'm not sure if the son also had problems trying to ride a bike normally again, but it was interesting to watch. I highly recommend it. Smarter Every Day: backwards bicycle or something like that.

A similar phenomenon occurs when a person wears a set of glasses that flips everything upside down for an extended period of time. Eventually, the person is able to perceive what they're seeing as right side up, but when they take the glasses off, everything is upside down. I find it bizarre that it's even possible for everything in the field of vision to be perceived as upside down because intuitively it seems like things should only be upside down relative to other things that are seen, not things that are unseen.

Your videos make me excited going back to school in the Spring to finish up my Psych major.

I'm taking a course on probabilistic graphical models and one thing that has struck me it's incredible how pretty robust decisions can be made with some seemingly naive simplifications of the real world. You can learn a model from tons of data but then it's your data that could be imperfect, they call this GIGO (Garbage In - Garbage Out). In general, though I'm not finished with the course, an "eyeballing" approach can get you impressive results, specially if you don't care about being undeniably correct but instead care about being "right" enough to act on. Also Yay, I get to be pedantic! Correlation does not imply causation is not really wrong, it's more mathematical/formal logic lingo. It means exactly what you instantly explained: correlation is a necessary condition for causation but it is not sufficient. That phrase is usually mistaken as what a mathematician or logician would call "biconditionality" or the _if and only if_, lovingly spelled "iff" in proofs.

the cheetos guy story was never finished here. In some other videos of his lectures, yes, but, not here. This particular instance of the cheetos guy story remains forever unfinished, except in memory of those students who attended this lecture. In a way, that does make me sad. But i, and we all, have to part with the idea of the cheetos guy story being finished in this video. Perhaps it's in a better place. In fact, i believe it is. So, let us all go forth bravely, but always cherish the memory of the idea of the cheetos guy story being finished in this video, and let's keep it alive in our hearts. i know i will. rest in spaghetti, never forgetti.

"What you want is to make sure that the voyage is worth it!"

I think Aquinas had words down as the signs used for the formal principle of form and matter. Form .. as in our word ... information... is the mind's apprehension of the orderedness and therefor relationships of things. This of course goes to the final cause or ordering principle and meaning. I like Dr Peterson's approach and think it dovetails neatly with classical metaphysics.

I like these videos of Jordan.

Good stuff, thanks again.

He talks about humans being obsessed with hitting the target-with rocks, a bow and arrow, guns, etc... I never thought how that could be related to why we enjoy sports like basketball so much... hitting the target

The complexity of self-correcting DNA is one of the best evidences of intelligent design.

i have personal experience of a dopamine dump during a car accident circa April 1994, where a small tin box of lead airgun pellets came out of the drivers door bin on impact and took what seemed like 6-7 seconds to tumble in a parabola across my vision and I watched it slightly pop open and the lead pellets float about in zero g before it landed in the door bin in the passengers door. It took me about 20 mins to get a wheel stud off after that, totally exhausted and elated that I was not hurt. Didn't realise I was so interesting.

Dude this guy talking .. so good , so much !!

BAM that was good!

Brilliant brother Peterson , mana, respect.

Dear Mr. Peterson - you endet the video without telling the experiment. Could you please tell us in the description or something?

where can i see the diagram JBP is talking about?

I was intrigued with your explaination of epigenesis. Now, I am not a Doctor, nor do I play one on television, but my hypothesis is that, given that all species are derived from a common ancestor some 3.5 -4 billion years ago, our base DNA "programming" is "designed" to survive in an extremely wide range of environmental conditions and therefore it is already 'programmed' to make whatever changes are necessary for a species to survive in an extremely wide range of conditions. When the environment changes sufficiently to "stress" or even threaten a species survival, certain "switches" are automatically thrown in order to activate the necessary changes in order for us TO survive in the new environmental conditions.

i love 2016 maps of meaning, 2017 maps of meaning is very serious , not as much laughing and joking there

At around 1:04:00 - this high degree of specificity in describing what we want from someone is what's lacking in a lot of communication between people. Our mistake is that we assume the other person understands our inferences and we never seem to learn that they just don't, they can't and they won't.

Pretty sure the "refresh rate" of your peripheral vision is actually higher. To gauge fast-moving threats and tracking prey, we don't need a high level of resolution or color. But we do need more acute sense of motion and speed.

Good to hear him mention feedback loops

Thank you Jordan.

Invaluable.

A minor neuroscience point: conscientiousness may not be correlated with _dorsolateral_ prefrontal cortical function, but it probably is correlated with the functionality of another part of prefrontal cortex (more medial) usually called the orbitofrontal cortex. This is the part that was damaged in the famous case of Phineas Gage. The prefrontal cortex is a very heterogenous brain area.

We use words and language every day without much or any appreciation for it's marvelous complexity or potential. We also misuse and abuse language often for the same reason! Familiarity without mastery breeds much error, mis-communication!

31:00 I have heard people from the US saying they can detect the 50Hz refresh rate of TV sets in the UK many times. I live in the UK and have never been able to detect the refresh rate. I also worked in TV broadcasting so have more than average experience of this. It implies that a persons vision can adapt or ignore this.

He blew me away with the eyes.

Great stuff, I love it. Around 24:20 from my understanding certain genes can definitely be switched on/off by undetermined factors in the the environment. I Have buddies who are triplets and two are identical except for their earlobes... one has connected & the other doesn't... now if that is actually a physical characteristic controlled by a particular gene, how else could identical twins not share this trait? Interesting stuff... lol thanks.

Peterson's lectures are (almost) always brilliant, as is this one. I noticed one error, though, for anyone who cares about word origins (as I'm sure Dr. Peterson does). Lexicographers seem to agree that the English word "sin" comes from the Latin verb "to be", in the third person plural ("sunt"), a shortened version of "sunt rea"--they are guilty. Translations of the Bible interpret the Greek word "hamartia" as "sin", but that isn't the etymological origin of the latter; nonetheless, the good doctor's point stands.

Does anyone know why these videos are ending part way through? The same thing happened with ep2 and I feel we're missing out on a lot.

Kibbutzim were experiments in socialism. Think of villages with communal property as well as facilities such as dining halls as well as communal child rearing, so the kids were separated from their parents (or, more accurately, were handed over by the parents) and raised with all other kids their age, which pretty much made them like adopted or foster siblings (without the lack of stability).
