This ties in with his lecture near the end, around 40:00. If your intentions with speaking to someone is to derive something truthful/useful, then the chances of that occuring is high. Even if 49 out 50 things that person said is useless, and you derive one useful thing (probably something you disagree with, or even hate), then it's a conversation worth having. That said, its mentally taxing and as one of the responders above said, uncomfortable at times. That's why people dont do it.

Q: Why should you even bother improving yourself? A: So you don't suffer any more stupidly than you have to. This is so brilliant, it literally changed my life. I remember listening to this 2 years ago. It was 2am and I was lying on my bed, feeling like nothing has any meaning, nothing really matters and I truly was suffering from that. You can say that nihilism was devouring me whole. I was mindlessly watching KZread when I saw Jordan's random clip. I clicked it and it was a fragment of this lecture with the above quote. When I heard that quote, I felt like a lightning struck me. This was THE answer to my suffering! I jumped out of my bed, wrote this down and put it on my fridge. Then I started cleaning up my apartment - at 2am, while listening to more of Jordan. This man truly changed my life, I am a different, more complete person with a solid sense of purpose.

Today my brother had a bit of an anger tantrum after his own glasses broke, and my dad got frustrated with my brother because he gets so easily wound up by these things and "takes them out on other people", which of course only makes him feel more angry. He asked my brother to explain himself, but my brother didn't want to explain himself because he knew that all my dad would do is criticise him for the feelings and opinions he might disclose. Because of the environment my parents have constructed, my brother and I learned early on to never really open up to anyone about our feelings, and we've developed a sense of shame about our emotions that just fuels the anger and discomfort that we've felt even more. After failing my Physics degree two years ago, I've spent every single day, with the help of counselling, trying to overcome what I've been put through. Well, for the first time in his 13 years of him living, today I sat by his bed as he hid under his bedsheets, away from the family so that he could hide his anger, and I cried. I sat for 15 minutes in silence trying to squeeze out the same words that kept looping around in my head, to tell him that I just want to listen to him. To my pleasant surprise, he wasn't like me with my difficulties with learned helplessness, once I plucked up the courage to start a kind of conversation that we'd never had before, he pulled his head out from under the covers and he actually spoke about how he felt. I had the urge at several points to tell him what my own assessment of his situation was based on my own experience going through what he's going through, but instead I just listened and he spoke. I told him that it's OK to be angry, that I understand him, and I spoke about my experience and my own feelings, and I feel like something's finally really changed in our relationship for the better and I'm trying my best to keep it that way. If it weren't for discovering Dr. Peterson two years ago, I probably wouldn't be pursuing the degree in Psychology and Linguistics that I am, my brother would probably go on to endure the same suffering and make the same mistakes that I did, and frankly I probably would have killed myself. No amount of written gratitude can ever do justice to what his work has helped me to overcome, but I try to convey it nonetheless. If you ever read this Jordan, thank you -- so much.

Peterson's definition of truth is inherently grounded in a telos, or end, that can not be justified according to the modern scientific notion of truth. He believes that what is true is what brings about life, and consequently what is false brings about death. Science claims all subjective feelings about life and death, good and evil, lie outside of truth values. Things are what they are. But you can't falsify Peterson's claim because it does not completely rely on one existence.

each person can speak up for himself only after he has first restated the ideas and feelings of previous speaker accurately and to that speakers satisfaction

This man was born at this time to bring all the philosophies together, absolute genius.

I got an 80 in personality and intelligence using these lectures, but beyond the grade, the real treasure is a deeper understanding of the world. I really appreciate the detailing of the philosophical underpinnings behind contemporary psychological ideas - which are too often taught verbatim, as isolated facts. There are so many jump-off points for further reading too, which I believe is the primary purpose of lectures - here's the spark, now go make fire!

You never cease to amaze me. Your insight, compassion, empathy and knowledge into humanity and our existence is truly incredible. How you manage to put into words and clarify what and how we may be feeling is a pleasure to listen to. Maybe it is a matter of how like minded people gravitate towards those whom we resonate with.

Damn, right at the end of the lecture, when Peterson says that if you are bored by a person it is because you are dumb, this is something I've realized and been saying for a while.

There is always something interesting about a person, you just have to bring it out; or as Peterson say, pay attention to what they are saying.

Have been waiting for this... Mondays are awesome and all days are getting more awesome when I not only listen to you but actually 'listen' to you

You are just so engaging Dr Peterson, I watch you simultaneously with my undergraduate Bsc in Psychology as a Mature student. Cant tell you how much your words impact me. Thank you . I m Working on an essay "Can attitudes predict behaviour" . I have taken away from your lectures, the integration of the two spheres. I like what you said about the tree and then went further, is there a tree, I thought the same thing that we are always needing witness to our experiences but still that dose not make ones experience the same as the observer. I come from an arts background in Acting and also Costume design so the intersection of the Being in the character and actor has always been a synchronistic movement for me. Makes me think about what you said in reference to Jung and Rogers and Piaget with the extension of self and the field of total experience an extension of being in the outside world. I see the continuous continuum one does to know they self, through the placement and participation with their outside world and in pursuit of a ' pain free' reflection of the self from that. Yet can only be truly valuable if the inner being the self is valued. But in saying all that I see that pain as you describe gives oneself the ability to be present to be Alive. We humans are truly remarkable, dynamic and resourceful to the point of limitless possibities to the integration of the self and that in the extension of self in the world. The survival of our species is the continuous intergration of the human experience. Back to my essay question I find it a very singular brushstroke, diluiting the marriage and dance that out physiological and psychological, mind and body has to offer. The duality that human experience to be definitive and predictable. Its this isolation that you say would freeze the infinite possibilities of a person in the moment of reacting to a stimuli. The take away here is one must Fight or Flight to at least 'Do' something to make a change - to have an experience: hence a purpose and meaning, otherwise we are just floating in the wind-Invisible. ( for some people that is a good thing) As you said DR Peterson to strip the subjectivity out of the world. There is more power I believe in ' the Doing' then the passive to simply think and feel . Even if you just think about something nothing is going to change unless you do something about it. You action your thoughts and emotions, towards something; an aim, adding on from the part you spoke about the genuine intentions to aim towards something and the world will reconfigure to manifest your actualisation. One the surface attitudes do fall in line with our behaviour, Yet it's the actual power of ones actions ones behaviour which is the true predictor of the person. We learnt about Self perception, I find it in my text book and empirically described as if a person has a weak to ambiguous understanding of their attitudes. For some reason that does not resonate with me. Not to say people should go around just acting on impulse with no ethical responsibility. It makes me think about your other lecture and snippet I saw about the zebras and motivation to be invisible stuck out with me. It we as an individual in a society is too self aware and not able to stand out from the herd always censoring our or internalising our responses to a stimuli in a way does lead to anxiety depression and neuroticism. In the words of Lisa Minnelli " What good sitting all alone in your room, Come hear the music play, Oh! Life is a Cabaret Oh! Chum, so come to the Caberet!" I. think thats why I like the arts and the ability to 'act out' my attitudes towards a script and develop the characters behaviours. But life isn't scripted or is it for some! I will keep writing but better stop, for now, as the topic is very broad. I thank you for your time DR Peterson. I just would like you to know how much I value your mind your integration in this world. Sometimes words can't express enough so if anything Im sending you a virtual smile and hug Dr Peterson as corny as that sounds. :) o Kindest regards Fiona Victoria Hopkins.

1. At the end, he describes what is now called steelmanning - rephrasing your opponents' argument in your own words so that he/she agrees with it. Most people just can't get themselves to do it. 2. Regarding dull/stupid: When I was an older college student in the 1990s, I regularly heard students waiting to get into the classroom for their next class say "This class is so boring!" Somewhere along the line, I realized the truth: the subject of the class (anthropology, the history of technology) is endlessly fascinating. YOU'RE just a boring person. It's a boring person who's easily bored by the world.

I've always hated small talk and I'm starting to see why now.. I made it all about myself. Jordan is truly a good human. Ironically I just listened to his interview with Danica Patrick and she said that small talk is boring to her and she would rather watch JP on youtube and I was like that's me! He didn't put her down for that, but now I know what he may have been thinking in his head!

30:43 is where some of the most important self-improvement ideas I've come across yet start

26:20 This is literally what happened to me! My chief forced me to do his work, I wasn't obligated to do. Every conversation with him about that issue resulted in a conflict. I almost quit my job, but my co-workers persuaded me to collect evidence and to present it to my bosses. It worked and they moved me to another department, where I could use my skills properly, without being restricted. This was one of the happiest days of my life!

Almost 40 minutes into a 50 minute video about Carl Rogers and Carl Rogers was barely mentioned yet. I love these lectures.

Thank you Jordan for educating us.

Love the comparison to spherical and hyperbolic geometry and the shift in looking at philosophy and psychology. Brilliant!

Thank you, very, very much, mr. Peterson. I'm watching your lectures now on KZread otherwise I wouldn't EVER be able to attend even one of them for several reasons. Please come to Mexico whenever you can.

46:24 This is extraordinary advice, and it's absolutely true. A lot of my friends bitch and complain about strangers making small talk with them, and how they dread talking to their Uber driver. I look forward to those exchanges. By the time I'm done talking with my Uber driver, I learned something about what's going on in their life, and maybe I helped them talk about some problem going on in their life by offering them a little insight from an outside perspective. When my friends are done with their exchange, the other person is a little more discouraged from talking to strangers, and my friends allowed themselves to become annoyed by someone else "bothering" them.

It’s nice to know in the bullshit world we are still living in for 2022, there is the escape to these thought-provoking and positive lectures online to escape into

That was amazing, indeed listening and not demolishing an idea but actually using the power of summarising in order to achieve mind and feeling congruence is the hardest thing I have to deal with in my lvl 5 Counselling

44:00 it’s not a relationship unless there’s an exchange of truth

I used to live at a Zen Center and they always said that the state of your room is a reflection of your mind. I still utilize this tool daily to assess my psychology.

It's pretty incredible that his students applaud him after every lecture. With the exception of the last day of classes, I haven't been in a single class where that happens.

Thank you Dr. Peterson. I'm a South African University Student and the classes I'm taking aren't as good as these. But, you make the Free Wi-Fi absolutely worth it, and hopefully, after reading the books you recommend, four years from now I'll be as knowledgeable as my B.A Degree claims I am.

Beautifully brilliant/brilliantly useful; thank you Dr. Peterson.

This lecture was deeply reflective, informative and influential

When I watch one of his amazing lectures, and I just dont seem moved, inspired or at least challenged, I listen again. And again if neccessary, because i find I missed one or several important points.

This many people want Jordan Peterson to do a series on the Harry Potter books

So far the best part of personality series for me !

This dude is what psychology courses should be.. Not the exclusivley bio-med reductionism garbage the teach at my uni.. So glad that he makes the lectures public on the net!

Dr Blue He speaks about psychology on a human level, which psychologists who have naturalistic leanings cannot do. These kinds of psychologists as you suggest reduce human beings to organism governed by physical laws. So they treat consciousness as a naturalistic phenomenon and will appear "mechanical" and almost "inhuman".

absolutely brilliant

Thank you for sharing Exactly what is in my mind since.... ever

I've got a Personality Psychology exam in a week. Instead of reviwing the notes from lectures I'm listening to Peterson. Wish me luck!😉

I'm so very grateful for these lectures
