I agree, but there is another level to Jordan Peterson that you should consider and embrace and IS very personable, as well. You may wish to hush the sounds of politics, but it cannot be silenced, ever. You go out those doors and embrace any aspect of society and end up wondering to yourself, “what the heck is going on?” This question could be answered, by watching all of these interviews. It’s not just about the criminals story. It’s also about the politicians and federal/state officials steering us into a particular direction. Jordan Peterson does not want the past repeated, as best as possible, so to accomplish that he needs to dig into politics to expose their agendas.

Exactly. And some commentators, blind or blind in their hearts, do not see that this man was simply *not putting on a show here* of being "liked by the potentially disturbed viewer". He was telling the stuff more or less cold-blooded, to its core how he saw his path to be a trickster throughout finding the possibility to pursue what he wanted to have + do. At any cost. Yes, it wasn't healthy to pursue. Yet I absolutely appreciate with what straight-forwardness he told it *as it* was, and as he did things. Too much Truth for some to handle, I guess... They wanted to see him putting on an anti-cancelling show, commenting “show more remorse!“, “you have no regret“. I didn't expect such finger-pointing unreflective Karens [mirroring cancel-culture] watched Peterson in all seriousness. This guy didn't come on to be virtue-signalling. He simply told it as it was. Use that as fuel for your own moral, instead of feeling entitled to hear him state your specific words. Kudos to authenticity.

This is absolutely nothing like psychoanalysis

I can see what Bret is talking about when he says he felt more comfortable with an audience. He does a great job explaining various topics and creates vivid images which allows for engagement and dialogue. Props to Peterson for seeing people for their potential/uniqueness instead of their shortcomings and asking great questions.

Thank you so much!

I swear tears came to my eyes how u counsel this man. U are phenomenal at ur craft 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤

I've learned so much from Jordan. Thank you.

Always fascinating thank you. A deep investigation into the criminal mind. Rare indeed!

Hello, Dr. Peterson. This is a great video, I always learn so much from every video you share. Your mind is extraordinary, and the way you bring your thoughts into words is magnificent. Thank you for sharing, and I wish you and your family all the best fighting the system. It's a brave thing you are doing. Take care

Thanks very much TEAM!!!! Blessings 🎉

Great discussion!! Its fascinating to see how your family can set the tone for how you behave and act and how sometimes it just takes one good soul to turn it around. I only wish that Mr. Johnson could have had the clarity to tell his mother to eff off when she screwed up his free scholarship. But sometimes things go the direction they go for a reason. Sounds like he now is on the path to righteousness with a good woman by his side and now several years of sobriety (so to speak) and is willing to help others. Great advice at the end to freeze your credit and other stuff like that. Its a small pain in the arse but 100% worth not having your identity easily stolen. Kudos to him for turning his life around 😊

Second time I've heard Brett's story. Hearing his hardships in life really put my own into perspective. This interview was great I hope all is well with him.

Wow, life discussions like this answer a lot of questions about my childhood and my parents...thank you Dr.

He is the best clinical psychologist of our time 😊

Seriously. Over the past 4 years that I’ve studied his books, watched all his lecture series (at least 5 times each at this point)😅, and listened to 100’s of episodes of his podcast, I see him on the same level as Carl Jung, Kierkegaard, Freud, and Nietzsche (etc.). It’s an honor to be on this planet at the same time as someone like him (and his family!)

Offline crimes committed by politicians like Brandon and Turdo are much more treacherous 😮

I love watching the years of experience proving psychotherapy inevitably come out of JP during the interview

This wasn't long enough! I hope there will be a second part to this interesting conversation

One of my favorite KZread videos ever. And I'm a "fan". I consumed a fair bit of almost everything. Thank you, both, for this. So interesting to watch, hear, and consider.

I feel sorry for this man ... pray 🙏 for his well being, finding good friends and God ultimately. Pray for Bret Johnson

Thank you Jordan ❤ This interview makes me reflect on my own life, relationships, challenges, outlooks, disappointments, big dreams, bad decisions, hopes and regrets...life is truly a trial! Windsor Ontario 🇨🇦

The therapy session formate is fantastic! I love how it draws a stronger connection to who Professor Peterson is at his professional core. I truly believe in understanding the world through understanding human beings. Once we can see the psychological structures of the human mind, we can recognise and understand the larger structures of the world. That's when we can see what needs to change and when we can make an informed decision on how to go about this change. It's a complex affair. But I believe it can be done, and understanding the human psyche comes first.

I always learn something listening to Dr. J. Peterson 🤗

Riveting interview. This is the Jordan Peterson I love and sometimes miss. Although I agree with Jordan on almost all his politics, I think lately it has spiralled out of control. Thank you for a great interview, Brett has an amazing story and I love how you drew out the passion.

I really like the last two interviews of your podcast, getting away from political topics in favor of psychological exploration, that what I loved about you dr Peterson, and the maps of meaning class, when I found out about you back in 2016-2017.

Thank you for sharing a life experience and insights so different from most people. It was very compelling.

How one petty crime in the beginning built up into something unimaginable, it’s unbelievable 😢. I find yhis interview overwhelming and fascinating. Thank you Bret for coming out inyo the open, and allow your listeners to learn more about human behaviour. Thank you Dr Peterson for your time

I didn't grow up with criminally-minded parents, but other aspects of earlier life in a small AB town have the same scent as what this man experienced on an internal level. It follows a person in one or another and takes a hell of a lot of work to sort things out. It's a life-long exercise 🙃

@cinders302...pardon me, i knew this talk is a serious stuff...but it makes me smilin reading how you put it that..." I didn't grow up with criminally-minded parents"...😊

The part about having to have something worth quitting for rings so true. My cousin was an alcoholic and drug addict. He was in an out of county lock up and rehab from his teens until he was over 40. Finally his long term girlfriend’s daughter had a baby, the girl leaves the baby with them because she got pregnant with her new boyfriends baby, and by the time the girl was five the grandma was back in jail and had left him for another man. In the end, the little girl was headed into foster care in a county where foster care generally is a place of abuse. Somehow during all this he manages to get clean, becomes the poster child for AA, gets his boss to put him over the saw mill he had been working for for years, and convinced a judge to give him custody. The little girl has always called him “Pa” and he has been her only constant. He now rents a house near her school, she has all of her needs met and is a happy 12 yr old. Her parents both signed over parental rights because my cousin held them to the fire of either paying child support or leaving them alone. They would come around just enough to break the little girls heart and leave again, so he said screw that and ran them off legally. He is in his fifties and still smokes cigarettes now, but he has genuinely stayed clean and employed and took the matter of raising this girl on as his purpose in life.

I might add, absolutely riveting! Probably the most intense Peterson podcast I have listened to. Thanks to both of you for this one.

That's the kind of story if wanted to hear since like forever! This one definitely hit the target Dr. Peterson!

What a fascinating conversation! I love the depth of understanding in psychology Dr. Peterson brings to any conversation, especially those where he is actively trying to understand how a person came to be. People are so unique. Ive experienced similar childhood trauma and I behaved in similar ways. Grasping at straws when it comes to control. Just fascinating. Well done! Thank you both

I don't think we can underestimate the power of people's desire to appear virtuous as a reason for the West's polarization today. No matter how psychotic or how narcissistic some may be, many of today's problems, I think, are the result of a certain segment of society being unwilling to actually consider the depth of issues we face, as opposed to just saying "the right things," so they appear fashionable, and can fit in.

@@Nous520 Cant disagree. Though id argue, there is a segment of society who truly believes holding "fashionable values" means being virtuous. I'm not sure its narcissism in every case. For many, its just ignorance disguised as narcissism, looking to others because, otherwise, they wouldn't understand the issues anyway. IOW they actually believe the people around them know better, and so, because it's "popular," they think it must be "right."

The interview with Brett by Lex was volunteered by KZread, and after about 10 minutes in that format, I was on the edge of my seat-fascinated. It somehow comes off as a weightier conversation with JP psychologist-analyzing and cross-examining.

Peterson is a masterful psychologist. The questions are perfect and delivered exactly at the right time. I am loving it.

This has been a fascinating interview. Great job man.

I am genuinely touched. Humanity, Jordan, you are a Mensch.

Brilliant talk , thank you Jordan and thank you Brett for sharing

One of my favourite episodes, Dr. Peterson is asking the right questions
