Instead of approaching a person based on what you've heard or read elsewhere about them and preforming your opinion, it's amazing what can be learned just by listening first then forming an opinion.

I've heard him discuss how amazing it is to listen to patients and how much it can teach a person about life by listening to people talk about their lives; that it's like a live Dostoevsky novel.

Of course he draws from historical literature from a number of philosophers, scientists, and literary works in general, as well as scientific literature, but all of this is to support an underlying philosophy. To put it another way without that word, he explains with eloquence and sophistication the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline, which is the definition of philosophy.

    Right? I saw him in Seattle (we love lectures) and there were couples of all ages. It was not a dude fest. This idea that he appeals to young men is used as a cudgel. Modern feminists open misandry is so nasty. If crime is committed by young black youth it’s not their fault, it’s systematic; if a young white guy commits a crime he’s evil, proof of patriarchy or white supremacy. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so harmful. Our society is sick. Whether it’s isolating and fomenting hate online or joining other young men in criminal activity to be tough, we are failing young men. And vilifying someone helping them is a sad state.

    That is such a progressive mindset to focus on word salads and manipulation technices rather than content, which is great for brainwashing a generation. Although Mr. Alexander presents this as a lecture that should be left out of politics, the fact that communucation skills are used for manipulating students to slowly ignore science and global problems and hiding this behind general psychology is not about communucation. So he is not a gift and confidently talking about politicly flavored manipulative ideas is not a good content for true communcation.

He is honestly a genius. I wish I could afford to employ him as a therapist just for a chance to have a conversation with him.

    4:18 Jordan mentions this in his book. He says you don’t “give a talk” to a room full of people. You are having an individual conversation with a room of individuals. When you are trying to gauge the understanding of the whole group you need to focus on individuals while making points and engage with that person to ensure they understand what you are trying to communicate. Then move on to a new person. Since you can only focus on a single person at on time switching from person to person hopefully gives you a good cross section of the whole audience, letting you determine if your “talk” is effective or if you need to make some adjustments based on the current audience.

    it also pretty much sums up Jordans "political" position ...although he is not very political - his only political fight is against postmodernism and neomarxism - because of the same reason - Jordan represents belief that groups do not really exist, but in reality they are many individuals which is paramount. Therefore he is against group rights, group guilt, group identities over individual identities... same as he is against talking to "the group" instead of which he talks to every listener individually :)

    There is something that you cannot teach and you cannot learn: PASSION. Peterson believes in what he says, he doesn’t just "lecture about a subject"; he tried his best to understand it and only speaks words he feels he is sure to utter. And when HE DOESN’T KNOW he tells you (he is humble with his knowledge). But also he DOES NOT ACCEPT dishonesty for the sake of making others feel good or better and people PERCIEVES this, while many other just smile and accept “the slogan of the day” as “sacred dogmas”.

    Perfect! I’d also like to add something I notice when he speaks; he uses descriptions effectively and succinctly when he elaborates some smaller points within a larger one to keep people with his line of thinking, and he knows just when to do it. On the pausing subject; he COULD pause more but doesn’t really need to because as you pointed out, he does make a powerful emphasis by leaning in with body and tone just before a short pause. Bodies react to that and uptake the point better. It’s masterful, really. His tone during longer periods of speaking supports all of this as well, no monotone. Like he’s playing energy as an instrument for learning.👌🏼

    I've been watching lots of his lectures, and those gestures really help to convey the complex ideas he's presenting. Particularly, when he's explaining a juxtaposition, he makes a gesture with both hands as a way to show a contrast between the two ideas. That sort of physical, spatial representation really creates a beautiful illustration and makes the concept so much easier to "see". I have multiple types of synesthesia, and I find that the gesture adds to the explanation because it creates a spatial emphasis that I can imagine and see in my mind. Incredibly compelling! Thank you so much for your videos, they're absolutely brilliant!

The kids yelling at the beginning start to really quiet and listen. This is a beautiful way to teach others you can agree to disagree. It just takes a little patience and thought. You can almost see his mind working or backing up when he speaks. It's a beautiful thing. ❤️✌️🤟

He entered the classroom; never acknowledged us; didn't allow questions. He wrote notes on the board the entire time. Each semester, 90% of his class failed! Never understood how he kept his job. I was one of those who failed, then took his class in summer school where he was very involved. I passed that summer. This proves what you say about how interactions affect people. Enjoy your videos.

His unending wisdom helped me organize my life into something meaningful at a time I thought I had no purpose, no direction, no meaning and, worst of all, no will to drag my weary body out of bed in the morning. I was recommended by a complete stranger to give his videos a shot (about 6 months before the Cathy Newman interview), and I'm forever grateful to both Dr. Peterson and that stranger.
