    @JAldwin I doubt his teachers think we need more male nurses for the same reasons you propose; because "some patients may react better to a male" or because "a male can better manage a display of aggression", which by the way is your own unquantified anecdotal experience that applies to a narrow spectrum of the total roles nurses occupy within healthcare, not to mention that a feminine or non confrontational way of dealing with a crisis may be more effective and desireable in most circumstances. Anyway His teachers most likely think we need to somehow find more male nurses for the sake of an "equality" that can be achieved only if men and women are identical in every possible way. It is that dogmatic view they are trying to bring into manifestation, their concern is not any possible practical applications.

    @@Zoomo2697 Given the fact that they were friends I guess you could say that :> Chesterton though has a reserved spot within hearts people of Poland as he was a hearty advertiser of our independence and wrote beautiful things about our nation. “I can certainly claim to have been from the first a partisan of the Polish ideal, even when my sympathy was mainly an instinct. (…) It was almost entirely founded on the denunciations of Poland, which were by no means rare. I judged the Poles by their enemies. And I found it was an almost unfailing-truth that their enemies were the enemies of magnanimity and manhood. If a man loved slavery, if he loved usury, if he loved terrorism and all the trampled mire of materialistic politics, I have always found that he added to these affections the passion of a hatred of Poland. She could be judged in the light of that hatred; and the judgment has proved to be right.” He stole my heart with this.

    @Andris Falks 1 - yeah, he said he stopped having symptoms of depression (which he had for like most part of his life) and taking pills, due to carnivore diet. Than his wife got cancer, than he was prescribed with pills to cope with it. If u knew anything about depression this would't come to u as some kind of surprise, "background" depression and depression caused by certain events are vary in their impact on psyche, u know. I don't get what is the problem with this. Elaborate if u wish. 2 - just watched this on JRE, not monthS, but 25 days, which is not better but still. Well he was describing his experience, since it's physically impossible i will presume he slept pretty shitty and restless, so it felt like it, which i find believable. Never before nor after i saw him saying stuff like this. So i'd rather watch it as a slip of the tongue or bad word use rather than straight up lie. 3 - thats just straight made up bullshit and strawman. He said multiple times, and i can give u a link, that if u have some psychological problems, depression for example u should use EVERY little thing u can. He has an entire chapter in his latest book, about taking care of thyself with any means necessary. And yeah - here is the link - kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJdtt9dulayyips.html 4 - i will assume that u coming from the spectrum of politics that likes to talk about tolerance and acceptance, correct me if im wrong. But i only seen such things said by this kind of folk. Which makes them hypocritycal af. Man was coping his wife's disease, was on heavy medication causing addiction, got off it and gave an interview where he got emotional. And behold - pack of hyenas dressed in rainbow flags showing their teeth when the man is down. Absolutely fucking disguting. 5 - i don't know much about the situation and i'm not that intimate with US policies to get it right, so elaborate if u wish. So in the summary - one mistake, which is simply not that important or characterizing this far. What should i realize again? U said u can go on and on so please - go on and elaborate points 1 and 5.

    There are different types of intellectual education. There is formal education as manifested by university degrees certifying various levels of educational achievement. There is informal education as manifested by a desire for understanding the world around us. Of the two types outlined above, it is the self motivated inquiry for higher understanding that provides the best education. Formal education provides the basic structure and vocabulary that would allow you to achieve a higher understanding of the world around you but if you don't take the initiative to apply those skills in real life then it is a waste of time and money. The main goal of higher education is to establish the common conventions that govern our interactions in business and politics. The arguments that occur in intellectual contexts are battles between different visions for human interactions, the clash between different ideals that want to establish their understanding as our standard convention. Passion for dominance of your chosen philosophy, the core of your self identity, means that diversity of understanding is not something that is encouraged in this environment, hence the ferocity that these intellectual arguments engender. It is the self educated, those who take the time to investigate their real world in their real world context, who ultimately wind up with the depth and balance needed to be able to deal effectively with their real world issues. Yes, they are unguided by higher authorities. That is, in fact, the reason why self education is the higher form of education. The main pitfall for the self educated is when the those seeking a higher understanding get sucked into manipulative propaganda spewing extremists, seeking their truth there. A true self seeker, however, would soon realize the problems of blindly following anybody without questioning their background and motivations. Asking piercing questions is the hallmark of self education. Sadly that is not so much the case with those who received a formal education but didn't carry forward on their mission to remain perpetually curious about their world. I've seen entirely too many educated idiots, declaring their authority by virtue of the schools they attended and the degrees that they possess. One of the surest signs of self declared authority is the extensive use of labels to describe real people, particularly political labeling. Identifying people by categories and labeling those categories allows the speaker to summarily dismiss those people. It's a cheap shot but sadly occurs all too often with highly "educated" people. I heard a great deal of labeling in this discussion that I find very disturbing. "Leftist culture on campuses"..., "conservatives fighting against liberal biases"..., hmmm. These people are living in their isolated academic cocoons. Real world people are far more complex than labels.

    I'm a student in the humanities in Norway right now. Here's a rapport of my experience so far: (First a little background, skip this if not interested in my reasons of choice of study). I'm an aspiring painter. So far I've gone through some years of art education and been introduced to the politics and values in contemporary art; the narcissism, the cynicism and deconstruction of every value and truth we've ever had (postmodernism). After a while, I found it hard to accept and sympathise with those values. I basically examined my own reactions to what I saw, and found that I HAD to make art like the art I saw that I felt was meaningful to me. Thus I concluded that I: 1. Wanted to be surrounded by the most brilliant of brilliant artist - our past masters. I want to sympathetically understand their motivations, and learn from them, and carry on those values. 2. Wanted to be surrounded by like-minded people. People who can examine the past sympathetically, and greatly value the highest achievements of our society as well. So that we could mutually inspire and help each other into it. OK So far I've encountered two bitter, feminist, Marxist professors, and two who are genuinely passionate about the historical period they teach in. When I say "Marxist" I'm not just claiming they are, it literally says on the back of one of the assigned course books that the new "lenses of art history" is marxism, feminism and social critique. My jaw dropped when I read that. I couldn't believe I was actually reading an admittance of radically politically motivated critique of the field. As if a sympathetic or attempt of objective story-telling is futile, or worse: justifying social inequality. The "Marxist" course so far has covered enlightenment and romanticism. In the very first lecture, the professor pointed out multiple times that all artists were "obviously" white men, and generally talked about the period with distaste and sarcasm. She stated that we had to learn that "all art is political". Probably as in "all art signifies power". We are, later on, to have an entire lecture on "gender". I wonder how bad this gets, and I deeply want to say something. I'm just still so bad at speaking and laying out my points orally. Working on that. In the course with non-marxist professors, they have spoken about the art period they teach as beautiful, exciting, and profound. The lectures with them have been extremely inspiring. They are on the medieval period. The professor enthusiastically essentially dramatises his passion for the values they had. He's shown us Christian icons, places of worship, and really shown us in great sympathy their striving for the divine, their emphasis on the inner beauty of the Christian soul as opposed to the flesh and the symbolism they utilized. When I'm in those classes, I sit in awe of their devotion, their skill and knowledge. As one should be when one encounters the greatest things produced through time. In order to UNDERSTAND history and extract and carry on the masterly and valuable things from it, obviously, you have to step into it and view it as if it is yours. Just like Peterson says, read history as the perpetrator. Read history as if it is yours, sympathetically, from all sides. Don't make fun of it, don't criticize the social order as primitive, don't think people were simple back then, don't assume artists where avatars of an oppressive gender class, --don't think you are better--. In order to understand it, we have to embody it, temporarily. Why don't people get this?? The intellectual arrogance of some of these university people is shocking, to me, coming from a humble working-class nowhere in Norway. The spitefulness. I don't get how you can look at a beautiful mythical painting for example and not feel utter respect and seeing in it an attempt to redeem the challenge of life in that work - rather seeing tyrannical social structures and foolish religiosity. The last lectures in the marxism-tainted course have been really demotivating to me. I'm here, in a non-job oriented field of study. I'm paying for it because I feel it will aid me in a meaningful relationship to my craft, and to other people, and in great respect of those who've come before me. Being a carrier of great art IS what I want to do, in this life. I'm starting to doubt the value of this education. I feel the hostility towards white men (which I am). I'm starting to doubt my results will be good because the professors reward attitudes I do not have. I'm surrounded by people who will write essays on "the female as an object for the male artist" and "the inequal representation of female to male artists". And generally, because very few apply to this field, put bluntly - anyone gets in. So to be frank, many of these students actually shouldn't be here. I risk sounding arrogant, but I can tell they aren't the brightest people, and they are totally aimless in their choice of education. I'm really contemplating a lot of things right now. But this is my rapport from a university in Norway. Wish me luck, and good luck to all of you on your life journeys as well.

    Julian I thank you for your thoughtful and insightful view. I am grateful that while going thru university during my time politics were not part of our discussions.....we were allowed to have an opinion, left right or centre as long as we could back this opinion up with a good argument. Debate was part of my education in the arts program that I was enrolled in. It wasn’t a perfect era, women were still suppressed to a certain degree...but we were making noise~ not attacks. I feel,for your generation particularly if you’re a white male and even more a white heterosexual male. Best of luck, but don’t back down and don’t let anyone suppress your thoughts. I have told my girls that it’s okay to take yourself out of a lecture if you don’t agree with the ideologies being discussed in class. If more students walked out of lectures then the professor would have no one to lecture to. But this takes courage and am told that the majority of students lean left and are aggressive towards those who disagree.

    sounds to me like you have 2 choices, either you shut up and keep your head down, submit to your Marxist professors, if only to pass the class. OR you drop out. No offence but I honestly don't think you need a college degree to be a painter, and I'm in the arts as well. Then again, that's my personal opinion. That one professor who is really enthusiastic and passionate about art history, perhaps you should email them. Ask them periodically for a suggested reading list. Go out into your community and seek out artist already out there painting and "pick at their brain" ask them questions. Here in the U.S., specifically Texas, once every month we have a day where artists get together to show their artwork, It pulls in thousands of the public. Here all the arts are interconnected, if you know a potter they might know a jeweler who knows a sculptor who knows a painter, ect., ect. It's built a community/network of artists of all kinds. Perhaps that may be the case in your Norwegian college town/city. You just have to find it!!

    @@shelbycarr4682 Thanks for the advice! I do have an extensive network in my tiny home town, and Norway is basically the population of 1/6th of Texas, so you can imagine everything is very tight-knit. I left that place because I basically knew everyone there, and few of them were my age. A large reason I moved here to study was to build new connections and find poeple who were more like-minded. But so far I've found few. I'm very introverted as well, haha. I also partly moved away because of a failed romantic relationship back home that I was constantly reminded of because she was basically the centre of my network. I needed to go out and kind of build my own identity and independence-kind of thing. But in terms of actual education and working towards a career that was a smaller priority. My experience has always been that the social bonds you tie are more important in life, also in terms of a career. I have no dream of commercial success. I have dreams about meaningful relationships and truth in my art. So that was what I hoped I could start to pursue here. I'm really thinking about what to do. What I feel is right. Sorry for the long reply, but writing this out felt good.

    @@fromeveryting29 lol yeah we've got a saying here, "everything's bigger in Texas" and it's pretty much true. But I imagine there is an artistic community much the same as the one you left in the new city you're in now. And while having people your own age is nice , but the old sages of the artist community have a lot to offer. Hell, large majority of my own artist friends are 20 or more years older than I am, which is also a good thing if you're an introvert. So am I btw. But the older crowd of artist genuinely don't care if you aren't chatty and aren't going to pressure you on late night trips on the town when you just want to go home and crawl into bed. lol they often have to be in bed before the sun goes down anyhow! lol.

    This man is a beautiful human and I wish his exposure on everyone. I say this with love, but this man is certainly close to a type of insanity that can only occur under such complexity of thought. Through his inner dialogue he has perfected his way in which he delivers ideas that he has let evolve within his head against a constant barrage of scrutiny in order to build its credibility and understandability. To develop such complex thought and to then allow others into that through understandable and decipherable dialogue is a work of art comparable to the great painters, filmmakers, you name it. But to have this type of brain comes from years of development and there is certainly a type of assault on your sanity to be so capable of it at more or less all times of day. This all rings true with his first answer. To answer a relatively straightforward question with such complexity, especially in the light of his collegues brevity, he is showing a sense of passion that can often be taken as insanity, or conspiracy, and to have such a positive passionate intellectual role model is therapeutic for todays society. I am very glad this man has been able to manifest such brain activity in such a way that he does.

    ​@penguins inadiorama facts are not really "facts". They are really agreed upon perspectives. If you make certain assumptions of agreed upon perspectives you can communicate with incredible brevity. However, this assumption can often be erroneous where you and the other party THINK there is agreement but there is actually some fundamental difference. JBP is often verbose because instead of assuming these things, he tries to explain it by taking you on a journey and lets you see what he sees and leaves it up to you to come to your own conclusions after seeing his perspective. Its one of his qualities really.

    Be their educator as much as possible. Take them to museums, art galleries, plays, classical music concerts, folk music concerts. Watch the old classic, black and white movies with them. Bette Davis, many of them spoke great English. They were all theatre trained back then. As they get older, college lectures, and wilderness travel if you can. Foreign films are amazingly good. Read a great American novel every summer. I can't tell you how delighted I was a few years ago when I walked into an art studio (at an open studio weekend) and saw a girl reading a big fat book. She was twelve and was near done reading, "The Count of Monte Christo". Her parents are very cool.

    @Drew Hong : She is first and foremost an intelligent, educated human being. Feminist? What I saw was merit in the capability, the codependency of the individual, not a competition or rights of any group. Not sure what feminism is anymore, as it seems to have morphed into denigration of men, and woman's claim of victim-hood, and woman's choice to murder a separate being as her right, as that being is carried in her body. It took me sometime to think about the scientific fact of separate DNA, therefore not part of a woman's body, the law in regard to murder, ie killing a pregnant woman, you are also charged with killing a baby, yet in the case of abortion it is not considered murder; I came to the conclusion of no matter how inconvenient, it is not ethical to kill another of our species, even in the case of rape, one crime does not justify another committing murder to a separate human being, as the moment of conception, that being has separate DNA. We have let our feelings come before scientific facts. Our feelings have taken precedence over our ethics. Feminist is not a label I would choose to put on anyone, as with all group identities, it involves a number of beliefs one may not subscribe to.

That said, he has wholesome intentions and we need his ideas out there.

    Dear Stephen - as a working class guy all my life, I'm fortunately now in my 70's, having embarked upon a learning quest for some semblance of a classical, liberal education: I'm also fortunate to have the ability and interest to listen to a discussion like this but also understand it, both sides of the semi-divide between Jordan P and Heather Mac. My early takeaway is it is the Job of us who are able - to boil down the best ideas in this discussion and, get them to the average citizen who may never listen to a discussion like this for various reasons, but would in short form both understand and agree with the propositions here for improving education, and learning, even in short form, some of the great quotes and ideas and stories and efforts, that made Western Civilization the freest, safest, most beneficial to mankind in human history. I take notes on some of these that I watch so I can bring ideas to the younger folks I have worked with in construction an all people who show an interest. I intend to put up an informational website and also pass out bullet point papers for people to read or download off the site. A vs I like is "being transformed by the renewing by your mind". Our mind being informed by healthy ideas and then thinking better or healthy thoughts, will transform our behaviors by following our own thinking. That's my early take. I subbed to this channel. As I listen further I'm impressed at both the ideas and Heather's instinct to "spot viciousness" in intent, masked by victimhood rhetoric and actions designed to destroy all that is good in our civilization. Why? I believe it is driven by neo-Marxist ideology and the result of the success of "the Long March Through the Institutions". I realize the activist army may have no knowledge of the power and persistence of this pernicious ideology and how truly evil it is and are quite simply - duped. Somewhere in the upper echelons of these various groups, there is dedicated hatred and hostility towards all that is good and their highest goal is to destroy it and establish their perceived vision of an impossibly good (utopian) society in its place. I'll stop here. I'll examine the college and perhaps contact soon. Thanks for hosting these two great people.
