As soon as I got back on my feet in life, built up my confidence and confronted the world I suddenly began to disagree with him more and more. I realised how distorted his views are, yet I recognise how much they helped me. It’s forever interesting for me.

@TheJthom9 If by that you me we all have prejudices, that would probably be true. However, if you simply take that as a starting position and allow the facts free reign to modify your initial thoughts, then you are still able to move towards a valid conclusion, a conclusion which should be the same as if you hadn't had those initial prejudices. I was referring to those who start from a biased position, often based on incorrect information and/or bigotry who only search for and treat as valid what supports or reinforces the initial position. Anything that does not support or contradicts their predetermined conclusion is either ignored or dismissed as 'fake'.

Stephen Fry is so comfortable in his own skin. He knows what he knows and imparts his knowledge well. He is almost ceremonial in his delivery, which takes in all the skills of History's finest orators. What resonates the most for me about him, is his effortless ability to engage the listener through a constancy and presence of mind over any excess of emotion. I respect and admire him immensely.

please. Jordan Peterson isn't fit to be in the same room with Stephen Fry. In no way are they equals.

I think that this discussion can be boiled down to one very simple issue, which is where do our moral values come from? One believes that they come from within as part of being human, the other believes that it comes from a divine being in the form of God. You are never going to reconcile those two stances, even though they both agree on the purpose and impact of those moral systems. I side with Stephen Fry on the issue for one main reason. Traumatic brain injuries and drug abuse can change a person's moral values and make them a very different person. If those values were coming from the outside that would not happen. The fact that a physical change to the brain can create a personality change proves to me that personality, and hence morals, are created as part of our material existence.

"one very simple issue, which is where do our moral values come from?" A philosophical debate that has been ongoing since at least the time of Socrates. "What is agreeable to the Gods is Holy. Is it Holy because the Gods find it agreeable? Or do the Gods find it agreeable because it is Holy?" My view - morals are dictated by society; generally for the purposes of "cause the least harm". though sometimes - these "moral actions" can cause harm to one group as a defence of another group. What is "moral and just" is entirely dictated by the time and place and society you inhabit.

He will not admit to this claim because he does understand that people are at least as intelligent as he is. Moreover, are able to deconstruct his use of pseudo intellectual linguistic gymnastics and fully understand his point of view. Stephen Fry is a member of the intelligentsia, the clerisy and is a humble man. Fry has a stronger vocabulary than Peterson however, does not toss it around to enthuse the simpleton.

The full video of this conversation is one of the best videos I've ever seen.

Watch Jordan Peterson being interviewed by Cathy Newman on Channel 4 News. It's all on KZread and it is FASCINATING

Fry cuts Peterson off at the end because he knew he had exhausted the conversation. Stephen knew he was wasting his time with him as he was talking shit.

The best point you made here, is that if you don’t believe the same things, it doesn’t mean you have to be enemies.

I love Stephen Fry for the depth and the art of respectful and yet humorous conversation that has almost been lost these days as people throw around slogans instead of engaging in a fun exchange of ideas and feelings.

What a treat to watch two highly educated, fabulously intelligent, good-natured and respectful people having a deep conversation. Thank you for this.

Fry is extraordinary intelligent. There's been some debates around his IQ but he's not interested in it as far as I understood.

Peterson is so intense in his manner whilst Fry is relaxed and absolutely unperturbed by the intensity of the debate. I think that both respect each others view and agree that it is so refreshing to have this interaction take place without dogma, each able to understand and respect the others view though not agreeing - agreeably. Let's have more, Sheffield South Yorkshire.

I could listen to these two chat for hours.

Joel you have done it yet again. Every one of your contributions increases my respect for you and gives me greater hope for the future. I just wish we could clone you. Although I was encouraged to be involved with a church in my youth it left me with more questions than answers. A very good friend of mine expressed my thoughts very simply. He said "Where was God during the Holocaust?" I have known some wonderful people who were christians but I have known too many who professed to be but were incredibly hypocritical. I recently found about Secular Humanism which I think is far more realistic. Please keep posting your material. Everything you post boosts my faith in human nature. You really are a very impressive person.

It's an example of two reasonably smart people having a respectful debate where both feel comfortable in their own perspectives and respect each other enough to understand their differences and don't feel the need to be rude and interrupt each other (like what happens in so many political debates) It's refreshing... I'm not religious, I'm not generally conservative, but I do understand and respect the fact that not everyone in society is going to see this world the way I do, and I'm ok with that The way to have a debate is not to see who can talk the loudest, or cry the most, or look the angriest, but it is an opportunity to present an argument, hear a rebuttal, and then build on the rebuttal from your own perspective. Often in society we look way too much at our differences, that we forget about our similarities

You're getting into some serious stuff and it's great to see you commenting and arguing. Well done!

Fascinating. I love to be swayed and bounced around by a good debate. Although few could ever match their awesome intellect and immense learning, we can all learn from their willingness to listen and ability to hear. imo.

Morning Joel, so you have gone from being an idiot yesterday, to a very intelligent conversation today. I was up late last night, watching music videos, so will have to make a mug of rosie, and watch again. Best Wishes, T

I don’t think you can ever ask people if they believe in God without saying what god is. I’ve just recently read a tiny bit about Quantum physics and I am open to the view that something bigger than us could be energy and information. That’s what we are made up of. So why can’t that remain and we go back to the source of that 🤷‍♀️. But definitely not a biblical wizard in the sky version.

You have a very good understanding yourself. We strive to talk like this, education is the key.

That was excellent.Loved your inquiring attitude Joel.Your maturity to listen is a wonder to behold.

If I may, in keeping with what Stephen Fry said of himself, that he goes to bed at night wondering how he can improve on his day to be a better person the next day, to recognise our frailty's is one of our greatest strengths in Life. Indeed, more often than not can a frailty of one kind or another prove our greatest strength, if the will towards Kindness is at our heart's core. I do not doubt that Stephen Fry is as much the self-observer as he is the observer. He would not be such a fine actor otherwise.

Additionally, you should check out their debate on political correctness. It's brilliant!

I always find that people who speak about their non-belief in a 'higher power' come across a lot more balanced and eloquent, than those who do believe - who try and justify their belief through thoughts rather than theory and fact. Stephen Fry and Ricky Gervais talk about this in a very measured way and become more believable rather than the preacher in the street who cannot handle any kind of come back

Where as formal debate has its place discourses like this are a lot more productive and interesting. Having epistemic discussions and examining common ground helps to show where understanding lies. personally Ive a big fan of Socratic questioning as a means to explore values. It sounds like you also value discourse without anger, you may enjoy the "Street Epistemology " community and some of the videos and discussions within that sphere. A lot of the material is about examining why and for what reason people believe things rather than whether what they believe is true, this includes religious claims, political claims, supernatural claims or even basic claims.

The last part made me chuckle, many years ago, in the summer before I started uni to become a teacher, we were given a book list to read before we arrived. One was Piaget's. I couldn't even pronounce his name. Talk about being daunted, but actually fascinating when applied to children's development.

Absolutely fascinating.

The only thing JP has going for him,is a very good PR crew,as until a few years ago I never even heard of him;now he roaming the globe,sprouting his well-worn 'clinical psychology' BS on any other subject(even when he has little actual knowledge of the subject under discussion),his gullible audience will accept!

It's worth watching the full version of this in your own time.

Love them both . Highly intelligent , great debaters . You can sense and feel the admiration and respect they have between them ......

Hi Joel, my post disappeared. In it, I pasted a bio of Prof Peterson, which must have had a hyperlink in it. KZread Comments doesn't like those. Anyway, thank you for such a civil, cerebral, and wonderful way to start the day. Peterson was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and is a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Toronto. He publishes/posts almost daily, so there's a ton a material out there to peruse. I agree with you, I think that those two would go for a beer together after debating. Mutual respect for each other's intellect and civility, plus a willingness to learn from each other. So refreshing after having to listen to childish imbeciles holding high office over the past few years. Have a great day Joel, John in Canada

There's a problem with trying to ride the fence when one side is rational, and the other is vapid nonsense. You're setting yourself up to be taking a position which cannot be logically consistent. To each his own, but JP isn't fit to pick up Fry's dry cleaning.

They are buddies with different approaches to an agreement.

I think if stephen fry was a teacher in any subject we would all get A's. You cant help listen to his rational logic, even if you don't understand most the words 😂👏

I find that Jordan Peterson's views on conscience, discounts learnt and societal lessons in morality and accountability. Your conscience is the breaching of your own standards, a young child does not show conscience and learns their basic morality and value from their parents. Life lessons then expand your views and your moral values expand from there. This isn't any built in need to satisfy a higher power, but an evolutionary tactic to survive and fit in with your pack/herd. Human society has always ostracised and banished those who do not follow societal norms. Your conscience is just a way of your brain ensuring your long term survival in society.

Ricky Gervais (atheist) and Russell brand (believes in god) have a brilliant conversation. It’s quite long so I don’t remember which bit to ask you to react to, hopefully someone else can help with this. It’s worth watching though, even if you don’t react to it.

Jordan is suggesting that we should not ask these questions of God, because it's not nice or no good can come of it. This is one of the issues I have with him. He is without doubt a powerhouse intellect and I love *most* of what he says, but the truth does not care about feelings. We should seek the truth, even if we don't like the answer. Feelings have no place in the debate. If there is a God, then he should be asked why he gives Leukaemia to children. In any other debate, Jordan would say the same, I'm sure, but when it comes to his religion, he ring-fences his beliefs and finds way not to apply his own extremely powerful capacity for critical thinking. It's always a problem when you have decided something is true first ...and *then* try to rationalise it. You are not being led by the evidence.
