A Conversation so Intense It Might as Well Be Psychedelic | John Vervaeke | EP 180

On this episode of the Jordan Peterson Podcast, Jordan is joined by John Vervaeke, a colleague of Jordan’s. John has been an associate professor in the teaching stream at the University of Toronto since 1994. He teaches courses in the Psychology department on thinking and reasoning with an emphasis on insight problem solving associated with creativity, cognitive development with an emphasis on the dynamic nature of development, and higher cognitive processes with an emphasis on intelligence, rationality, mindfulness, and the psychology of wisdom.
Jordan and John discuss how they know each other, the last time they saw one another, Christianity, power, perspective, atheists, religion, Heidegger, and much more.

    Can we take a moment to appreciate how much Jordan admires John? It isn't very often you see this childlike awe from JP. He will often level himself with his guests, but it is rare that he actually subordinates himself like he's doing here. He's so giddy he can't be quiet haha. And it absolutely beautiful. 💚

    @@dqualsh I have watched numerous videos of JBP talking with other people and I have never seen him interrupting so much, I am also trying to understand why. He seems to be in a hyper aroused state; he enjoys a lot and gets a lot of ideas while Verveake talks and shoots them. I think there is a deep mutual firing of ideas rather a constant interruption, but we cannot see that very well because we don’t know their relationship. I think they know well each other and the conversation is taking a form that is more private rather than public.

    how deterministic! maybe it would have still been around the same length, but not as hard to follow, but then again maybe not as fruitful, either, because sometimes thinkers lose their current thought, if they don't intervene fast.

    I think the interruptions are partly due to Jordan's confidence in John's understanding of the subject matter and his abilities to guide the discussion without hindrance despite his interjections. Upon revisiting this conversation after many months, Jordan's participation still appears/feels perfunctory until you see that John is "dancing" with him. I couldn't thank them both enough.

    I've been we'd to my partner for 45 years. He suffered from undiagnosed aspbergers. I felt so alone in our life together, unseen. Upon his diagnosis my life became fulfilled. This conversation was eye opening for me. I felt half a person, two become one in a long term relationship. I melded with and within him. And was left half me. Understanding that he cannot see me; relieved me of the responsibility of trying to make him see me. He's happy as we are. So I was freed to accept that fact, love him deeper , and find myself fully. This realization gave me the freedom to be able to trust myself because I am enough. I filled that space of two. I am whole ,and so deeply in love with a man who does care as much as his biology allows. I now spend the time I wasted battling trying to be seen, exploring creative endeavors that I find fill me with what was missing from my relationship. This discourse, is so pertinent. Thank you.

    My sister who was diagnosed with Adult Asperger's Syndrome about 8 years ago gave me the best compliment the other day. She told me I spoke "Aspie" better than if it were my second language, it's like I was born in a 2-language household l, the way I can slide in & out of Aspie & Neurotypical." That is high praise indeed! Before her diagnosis, she was only sticking around on earth because she knew it would devastate our Momma if she "opted out." She thought she was a "bad person,"...because she could she others doing things & saying things easily, things she didn't get. She would mimic/ mask..."throw things at the wall to see what would stick "& use humor to engage the world. Kinda like a female Robin Williams. Zero filter, SUPER hilarious, but very tender...and drop dead gorgeous. Adding together the unexpected winsome forgetfulness of a severe TBI plus her diagnosis (& that of my father looking back after his recent death at time of diagnosis), it was a revelation...in one day.. one afternoon. Our whole world changed for the better! She could look at a situation acknowledge the weirdness , chalk it up to having an "Aspie plot twist," and move on. Becoming a step-Momma, a "Heart Momma," to our only grandchild was huge as well. Thank you for sharing & encouraging JP & his guests. You sound lovely & resourceful! Have a splendid day, Dearheart.

    I learned more from listening to this conversation then I did in all of my undergrad, and I was a philosophy minor! The "educational" institutions stand mocking us all, took our money and guess what?!?!? We didn't all pick the wrong major. But the universities secretly replaced growth with a system that they knew would lengthen the adolescence phase. That's the opposite of what we would go into debt for.....but they didn't tell anyone, just kept it to themselves, meanwhile, they all KNOW that they are harming these young adults and crippling them for the rest of our lives: financially, emotionally, intellectually. It's not sustainable for a species to dumb a whole generation of itself down. Any place that disallows any speech should not be allowed to consider or call itself an educational institution. Mainly. Someone needs to make the proper argument for the students saddled with debt. The argument isn't that they charged us too much for the wrong degree. The argument is fraud. They frauded all students since they began this secret operational change for the worst, broke the contract and the education that all of us are paying for and were charged for, but it never once existed in those buildings. We would have only agreed to saddle ourselves with that level of debt if the outcome were more prepared young adults and more skilled and well taught and productive members of society. None of those things can be produced from the directive the universities are operating from. Which is to lengthen the adolescent phase of life for these young adults who trust the institutions to do the opposite. It is an egregious breach of contract and fraud but also a breach of social contract with the society at large, which the universities seemed to have happily waged a war, to watch, from students, who are brainwashed to be grievanced. They are not concerned with teaching anything. They are sleeping at night when they know they are tapping our most precious resource, the next generation.

    I love having conversations like this..sadly, its hard to find people who understand how to have a discussion and not a debate. Many times people turn the discussion into a contest of "whos right and whos wrong" or they assume your trying to flaunt your intelligenece, instead of understanding the discussion should edify each other solely for the purpose of relating experiences, wnjoying each other's knowledge and coming closer to truth. At best, most people are only interested in what they have to say and as your speaking they are already formulating a rebuttal instead of actually building on the foundation of the discussion.. because of thisbi often find myself discussing deep matters with myself..its like playing mind chess with yourself..playing the offense and defense...

    Meeks;. Very good point. Conversations that respect various perspectives usually are simply searching for truth in a reasonable way. Respect simply means ; to listen. Take Jesus's method of delivery to people he encountered who had doubts. He showed great patience and extreme understanding, yet confident in his message often using parables to get a point across. Many Christians fall into a Caiaphas type syndrome of arrogance. I think it's important that we always stay grounded and focused on the objective. Which is to Love.

    This is a rare conversation in which Jordan is more of a student than a teacher, interviewer, or host. I think that’s why he interrupts so often: he’s trying to metabolize John’s ideas with his own understanding, in real time and out loud, and he’s doing that in small chunks. Remember when Jordan says, “It’s horrifying AND great to talk to someone who knows a whole bunch of things I don’t know at all,” and right at the end, “It’s always nice to find someone who disagrees with your work, who could help correct it. That’s why I want to talk to you.” You can tell John is planting a lot of seeds (and new vocabulary) in Jordan’s mind. I’ve listened to all of John’s “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis” series and many hours of his dialogues with other people-I’m positive he’s not offended by the interruptions. Like John says near the end, “We’re just friends talking; this is like Tai Chi,” and later he uses words like “affection” and “respect” to refer to their dynamic. John’s always humble and gracious. For anyone who wants to hear him uninterrupted for hours, go check out his KZread channel-it’s phenomenal.

    This was pretty disrupted especially in the beginning but it got better by the middle. Also, I feel like JP really needed this conversation. It just seems that his interruptions come from a kind of hunger that seems to me to be motivated by the fact that he sees this level of interaction as something that can break his inner circle of thought in a refreshing way.

    It was absolutely insufferable, especially since the essence of the conversation was John teaching Jordan, and he wouldn't let him do so. As with everyone, he's his own worst enemy - he's far too enamored with himself, his ideas, his "wit", his voice, etc... It's one thing to interrupt briefly for clarification or to add something, but usually it was just a complete tangent or, worse, a shitty joke about t shirts. My saddest observation about Peterson is not that he's "wrong" about things but that he doesn't believe in his ideas enough. If he took his ideas to their true logical conclusion, he'd be considerably more content (which might help with his health issues) as well as more likeable. John appears, at a glance, to be someone who is immeasurably further ahead in his path than Jordan - he has patience, understanding, compassion, graciousness etc..., rather than everything being a big competition.

    I’ve been around people that were using cocaine while I was not. Conversations in that situation sounded very similar. The cocaine user usually comes off as in a state where they think what’s going on in their head is all that matters at the time. For someone in Peterson’s position he should have the capacity for sufficient self reflection to get this fixed. Aside from being distracting it is unproductive since no ideas get finished. I say, cocaine or he thinks he’s depressed but is really an undiagnosed manic-depressive and this is what a manic state looks like.

    The whole conversation is a perfect illustration of the dialogical nature of thought that John started out by discussing. This is the first time I've seen Dr P so excited. I think it's first of all because they're old friends and second because they're both intensely focused on the same general topic -- thought/consciousness/the reality outside our thinking - from slightly different angles. They were feeding off each other and each was carrying his own thinking forward through the other one's input. If this is what academia looks like in practice, I've misjudged it all my life!

Just look at how climate alarmists will not debate those with opposing thoughts, or anyone opposing the covid official narrative is closed down, smeared and slandered, where things are not allowed to be discussed and debated, just "defended" with argumentum ad hominen.

    I've been looking forward to this... FOR. A. WHILE. At first, I was like "Jordan for god sake, let the man talk!" but it became very clear that John and he are two old friends, like two collegiate kung fu masters from branches of the same school, sparring once again for their own pleasure and learning, fully appreciating each other. For those that haven't watched their debate from 2015, it's a lot like this although it's moderated so you get to hear John complete most of his sentences.

I mean I found myself frustrated a few times when John was not able to complete a line of thought because Jordan was so excited to be catching up with his friend that he was verbally running him over, but that frustration was totally discounted by my gratitude for being a fly on the wall for such an engaging conversation. Also to see Jordan often in the unabashedly and enthusiastic learner role was pretty fun. Mahalo for your thoughts. :)

    How absolutely delightful it is to be witnessing such intellectually complex discussion/sparring/exploration between energies so very deeply concentrated upon evolution, expansion, love, light, and the striving towards those things that are purest of truths, this coupled with uncompromising observations of the self and other self, distilling those truths over and over , diverging, and alternately, repeatedly converging towards what is even and ever more true. I could listen to this over and over again, willingly diving headlong into this rabbit hole then another, brought into being by the intermingling of these two shining ones. Every cell in my being is smiling with each exchange and dissection of ideas 💡 😇🙏🏻

A missionary once gave me a great tip to reduce this tendency for myself: Grab the largest mug you have, fill it with Herbal Tea, and every time you feel the urge to jump in, take a sip of your tea! When the cup is empty, then add one comment. Refill and repeat. Hope this helps ;)

I'll add that I love the sounds of the wind in the leaves, the chirping of crickets and birds, the rain falling on my head, the wind caressing my face, and the smell of flora in the air. It really does feel like I can sink into the world and become one with it, and I know how hippy that sounds, man.

    Yeah and has introverts do while we are in our rooms it's good to have a lot of nature like trees and plants around while we do our things it turns on a part of my brain that helps a lot like kinda a searching sensation like a travel and find situation. But there nothing like actually walking through a forest compared to even riding a bike some how a bicycle ruins the travel to somewhere even though it's faster and maybe more comfortable but walking and running is a must have in my life I can't live without it and routine was hdn you do go on for walks and runs go to the same place the same way you can change the place a big but still go the same path you'll learn the pros and cons and you'll get a scenes of the markers of how long you can last how strong is your body at a point like oh at this corner of this street my calf starts to get sore

    I don’t believe man is that simple, meaning that he can be both an introvert and an extrovert in different phases of life. Journey may start as an introvert and through this period of reflection one acquires greater knowledge and confidence which may prompt a a new phase in life as an extrovert. But for a true thinker this phase after much experiences now becomes boring and once again one becomes an introvert.

    Nothing wrong with enjoying the pleasures of God's creation. Their is a significant difference between the real person and a reflection in the mirror. Realizing that God's creations are not the subject of worship but like a photograph or picture of even a loved one is only temporary. This world is like an apple that will eventually fall from the tree, and after a while eventually rot away. The same for our physical bodies. That's very clearly understood. Yet we have as the Bible states an eternal soul. It's by faith that we come to believe. Note that we were given free will by the grace of God, and are free to choose. The Bible also says , The Lord God proclaimed that My ways are not your ways. Thus the reason we sometimes struggle. No one can force you to love them back. Even in the direct relationships we sometimes maintain amongst ourselves are subjected to a false sense of worship towards others which almost always become problematic. Peace and Love God bless you.

    Excellent. And (if I may) I think the experience you're describing there is more than just "appreciating God's creation". It's the realization that you yourself are part of that creation. That Oneness is very desirable, very positive, even "loving"...and I often wonder if that feeling comes from "God" or from our joyous relief at being freed from our everyday obsession with _philea nikea_ (knowledge with an eye towards victory/problem solving), and instead accepting...just being. But I recognize it.

Really loving this conversation so far, thanks for doing this!

    It's comical to see how excited Jordan is with this interview to the point where he interrupts John every 30 second. By the way, the meaning crisis series of John vervaeke is absolutely stellar, and everyone should give it a try

    I would have to listen to this 100 times to understand just a fraction. However, the little amount I can comprehend is very enlightening at the least. Thank you both for sharing your vast amount of knowledge with each other and the rest of the world. Truly amazing.

    I watch in awe a fierce struggle against pain, overcoming it by the sword of the Spirit subduing the flesh. No gladiator fought a more glorious battle. John ,such a humble strong gentle man. I am bursting with gratitude.. 92 yrs old and feeling the exhilaration of tasting the Honey of Truth being extracted from the comb.

    All of the books came together and had this conversation with one another. "Hello, I am a book." "Oh wow, I am also a book!" "Well then, shall we discuss other books?" "Yes, let's." In all seriousness though, an impressive conversation, built on an even more impressive foundation of information and knowledge.

    As a professors, Jordan Peterson and John Vervaeke Are doing what we most need namely making us greedy for more knowledge and understanding to find our own way, into this difficult field of study, to know ourselves better.

    Yes, I prefer the term thirsty as opposed to greedy. To drink deeply from the well of knowledge and to thirst for more, but hey I'm a drinker. Love the pub.

    The fact Jordan Peterson repeats new words, makes sure he's understanding it's definition, and writes down anything he doesn't know to learn about later. Proves he's built different then most!

    What a beautiful talk here gentlemen, I feel like I'm right here with you in the room, even seven months ago from publication, I'm driving 5 hours away from home to go and Snowboard after a 2-foot blizzard in northern Wisconsin, I am a born-again Christian, and it is beautiful to hear to logical minds of prodigious intellect discussing these themes which are stated so aptly and concisely and perfectly within the New Testament by the Christ, may God bless both of you and may He reveal himself to you more as the days go on, we need your voices of Reason ever more as the days darken! Keep up the good fight, do not go quietly into that good night!
