Punditry is certainly more popular than ever in every facet of life, especially in social media, as practiced by YOU and I in this very moment. I certainly would agree that not all punditry is the same - some is far more researched and objective. I'd suggest PBS certainly (maybe to a lesser extent NPR, but not that far off) is as apolitical as they come. That's the reason they refused becoming a commercial broadcasting station, though the pressure of the market and political rancor by those who see politics in everything, as it seems you do, has them needing to reassess to survive...

Not much that I respect Peterson for, but not aligning himself formally with whatever "conservative" is these days was smart. That being said, he absolutely engages in identity politics and did so throughout this interview.

@@mr1skali Sure - he engages in identity politics and tribalism by conflating many different groups he opposes into one giant "us" vs "them" (though I'm not sure who he considers the "us" in that concept if not the far right who are fans of his). So he makes various claims about the left, the leftist, the radical left, the post modernist, the marxist, and so on - these are all tribal 'identifiers", that is, they describe in a very general way a group of people he suggests conform to some nefarious other. However, there are issues with this - primarily that none of those groups are synonymous with each other. That is not to say each group doesn't exist, they certainly do as there are various forms of any political leaning. But he goes further than glomming them into a single group that he suggests needs to be feared, but does so in a way that is QUITE similar to groups like the Germans in WWII did - that is, they pointed to Jews, Catholics, Unions, foreigners, etc as being the group responsible why the mostly uneducated German was suffering, NOT looking at the very bigotries groups like the Nazis represented. So there is a contemporary danger of those concepts being reintroduced as if they have some veracity - they simply don't and whether it's Peterson, who has to jump through a lot of hoops to translate Jung and Nietzsche into his point of view, or Trump who may just be an expression of where Peterson's perspective ends up, it's worth challenging strongly - not only to prevent susceptible groups LIKE in Germany or Japan (or at other times in our own US history) from being deceived, but to protect those groups who mostly suffer from the kinds of ignorance that Peterson proposes by his misapplication and confusion on these topics. Again, I am willing to stipulate that his personal problems with alcohol and drugs may in fact confuse his professional perspectives, obviously his research into addiction post his alcohol problems didn't serve him well in contemporary terms as he almost died from another addiction his professional capacity should have warned him from falling prey to. Thus why I have a tremendous problem with people not aligning the facts of Peterson's philosophy and life with this sort of morbid hero worship of him.

@meeetwaad

3 жыл бұрын

@@desnock I agree with the perception that he is somewhat easily triggered, but to label his personality as mainly angry and antagonistic, that doesn't sit right with me. In my estimation, he comes off more-so as assertive due to his claim to "know his stuff," and he does so with conviction, which is NOT the same as anger. For the antagonistic part, he definitely does antagonize some people, which could be for a plethora of reasons from lack of education to pathological thinking (in the sense that the thinking is "extreme in a way that is not normal," and I only point that out due to my own confusion about the term,) or simply because they reasonably disagree with some of his stances on certain topics. But going off what he's said in other interviews, antagonizing people is not his focus by any stretch but is more or less a consequence of the current times and the popularity of the ideas he opposes. The question is should he be taking responsibility for how those people interpret what he says, despite how self-apparently true their take on what he has to say is? I honestly have no clue, as I myself feel I'm not educated enough to delve into that, and as I type that I feel like it's somewhat of a cop-out answer because I can become more educated, but ay. But, I thought it might be useful to someone (maybe you) to give my perception of how he speaks at the very least because he genuinely doesn't seem to me, for the most part, angry or antagonistic, although he definitely does come off like that some of the time. The exact, or even, the general ratio between the two (antagonistic/angry and assertive/confident) I couldn't say as I haven't watched all that I can of him, (and I mean that as I have watched a lot of him,) nor do I want to as I'm stupid and it hurts my brain if I watch too much of this kind of content.

This is what an actual interview looks like! So refreshing!!!

Perhaps we are all immortal in a sense because our specific DNA and our actions on this planet will resonate and ripple on forever.

To perhaps oversimplify, he's referring to getting your own life/house in order before you go complaining about someone else's. This philosophy isn't new... but it is, I think, VERY profound... By the time a person ACTUALLY accomplishes this, they will have lived for YEARS, gained maturity, become responsible... become adults in EVERY meaning of the word... and have gained a lot of wisdom and experience along the way. More, they will have suffered pain... and almost certainly have learned compassion from that. By THEN, perhaps they will have actually learned HOW to go about fixing society's problems. One of the things that I see from the Left... or THINK that I see... is this virtue signaling. It's a CHEAP, EASY, FAST way to satisfy certain aspects of our natures... to FOOL ourselves into thinking that we ARE "good"... without actually putting in the EFFORT to truly BE "good".

Dude, he is so intellectually inclined that its fucking scary.. His grade of reasoning and faculty of articulation is almost flawless. What i admire about him the most is his self proclaimed actualization of humility. I've heard him say on Ample occasions that "Im a very ignorant man" which only amplfied his level of intelligence.

If he can encourage more people to correctly use a decent vocabulary, to think independently and to compellingly articulate important truths - the ideologues will be powerless. The objective I think is not to sound like a clone of Dr. Peterson, but to function (more) like an educated person, in the classical sense of what that means.

He left me speechless! He is been blessed with wisdom

This guy should be the PM of Canada. He has a great brain which allows him to have a vision, consistent and mature behavior followed by a global outlook in what the society requires to foster unity and wellbeing.

As a retired pastor, I so appreciate Dr. Peterson. I was distressed to hear of his illness and am so pleased to see he is well and again publicly espousing his ideas. I also very much appreciate what he has to say about faith. I think I understand, or at least I appreciate, his felt need for ambiguity in terms of a public profession of his faith. "I live as if God exists," is itself a very profound statement. As a pastor and theologian, I believe I can and do say more than that, but Dr. Peterson exhibits great intellectual discipline by refusing to allow himself to be forced to say what he is not ready to say or to say what lies beyond the bounds of his academic specialty. Anyway, glad to see you're back, Dr. Peterson. And by the way, the interviewer was tough but fair. Excellent video.

I love that statement too. People who profess a faith in God, yet hide the bad things they do in secret belie that claim because God truly isn't real to them. I learned that when you're all alone where and when nobody can see or hear you except God, that's the person you truly are. If one truly believes in God and all that entails, then they will comport themselves in a manner that supports that belief in public and in private.

He also never pushed pharmaceuticals onto others that I know of, I heard him merely say that in some cases drugs are life saving. It certainly shows a lack of competence though, not just him but all the other doctors that prescribe it including to him. He said the more responsibility the better in this interview, maybe if you need drugs to cope you took too much responsibility.

This has to be one of my favourite Peterson interviews. Never knew this woman before, but have immediately gained massive respect for her. Good questions, and actually lets her guest fully express his thoughts.

I'm not quite sure why people are so triggered by Dr Peterson. I am a self admitted liberal and was fully prepared to hate him based on the media narrative, but I don't hear much from him but championing universal human rights and values and offering tremendous insight into how to improve one's life. It is also nice to see an interviewer not simply misconstrue and twist his words over and over

Sure, Peterson and folks who interview him are always bringing their own experience and perspective into the fray. Most of the journalists have a history of integrity, vs an alcoholic, who after years of education to become a clinical therapist, became drug addicted and a darling to far-right groups because they also want to ignore history in terms of the sins of the West and the Church. I mean, you gotta try and look at life objectively - not to say any POV or purveyor is perfect, certainly not.

@Grandfather_Din_Racket JP has experienced being a member of a club and at the same time also experienced living on the opposite side of the political spectrum. And he learned from it. In his younger days he was a card carrying, door-knocking member of the NDP. But he quit the NDP when he started to come to a realization as another famous "leftist turned conservative" did half a century before. George Orwell wrote in his book "The Road to Wigan Pier", "the tweed-wearing Socialist middle-class had no great love for the poor, they just hated the rich". JP gradually came to the same disillusionment as Orwell with "low-level party activists", and added "I think the modern left is even worse; they hate the successful and the competent, so much so that they would be willing to deconstruct the idea of success and competence just to tear the hierarchy down."

I cannot get enough. These conversations... are phenomenal. Where there is light... the dark will follow. I was afraid recently, but because of men like Dr. Peterson I can see a possibility for my sons & grandson. Thank you sir for all your efforts and commitment. You are appreciated.

A very brave man with all the critics coming after him in force. Thank god he is insulated to a degree by so many common sensical people that love what he has to say and how refreshing his perspective is. And kudos for a non combative interview. Well thought out questions.

Margaret, thank you for having the guts to give someone like Jordan Peterson a platform to express his opinions and share his area of expertise. I found this to be a frank, open, fair, and interesting discussion between adults. This is something not even NPR or PBS seem capable of hosting these days. What a breath of fresh air! I can see you eventually running up against the editors in your organization, who will surely hate this type of discussion as much as Google and KZread seem to.
