Lecture: 2017 Maps of Meaning 01: Context and Background

In this lecture, I discuss the context within which the theory I am delineating through this course emerge: that of the cold war. What is belief? Why is it so important to people? Why will they fight to protect it? I propose that belief unites a culture's expectations and desires with the actions of its people, and that the match between those two allows for cooperative action and maintains emotional stability. I suggest, further, that culture has a deep narrative structure, presenting the world as a forum for action, with characters representing the individual, the known, and the unknown -- or the individual, culture and nature -- or the individual, order and chaos.

    I watched the entire lecture series on Maps of Meaning by Jordan Peterson and instead of commenting on each lecture individually, which would get repetitive and labourious, I have decided to return to the first in the series, because invariably this is the one that has attracted the most views. That in itself is something I find incomprehensible, because each and every one of these lectures is a must-watch if your goal in life is to achieve your maximum possible potential. In no way, is the first in the series any more valuable than the last - in my mind they are all of comparable richness. I wouldn't be sure how many hours I've spent listening to Peterson, but it must be close to a hundred and counting. What are my thoughts on the man and the material he produces? A caveat here: it is indispensable to comment on the man himself, rather than just his content, because I subscribe to the belief that the better the man, the more value the material he produces will contain. Without pandering to political correctness as I articulate the thoughts, it goes without saying that all this applies to women equally. No shred of a doubt that JP is a "good" human-being on the basis that such a notion exists because "good" does not equal perfect under this estimation; whenever such judgements are made, they are naturally, relative. Peterson has become blessed beyond his own wildest imaginings; it is clear as crystal to me that he has invested his talents into promoting the truth as far as he can know it in benefit of the common good. It follows therefore that he has been entrusted with the lofty position he holds in the war against all that is evil. The rubbish the naysayers produce on this man is full of envy and to use a word absolutely appropriately, despicable. I haven't been able to find a contemporary intellectual or a spiritual figure who is more worth listening to than Jordan Peterson. People talk a lot about his intelectual prowess, but what I most admire him for, without a shadow of a doubt, is his heart. Which other public intellectual or spiritual figure do you know who is so in touch with the pitiful truth that at a moment's notice, the fidelity of his voice can desert him as he is driven to tears on its contemplation? Another caveat, don't be misled by what was left unwritten: there is a "pitiful truth", but there is also a glorious one if we open our eyes to it. Whether your life is on track or not, this man is worth listening to and supporting - at the end of the day, why wouldn't that be the case if you yourself will be the first beneficiary, before you start positively impacting the lives of those around you. So this is my paltry tribute, firstly to The One who makes anything possible at all, but also to you Doctor Peterson, for the inestimable value that you’ve added to my life, and the lives of scores more. I have never met you, but thank you, Brother Jordan. May you be blessed so that you continue to bless the masses as much as you do now, and more besides in the future. ☝🏽🙏🏽🤲🏽🔥🌞🕊🌈🌠

Emblematic is the iconography of St. George, which contains all these elements.

My girl got confused why I was so interested in a painting on judgement day and walked into the next room. I still stood there, analyzing the art with my limited knowledge - but it felt so amazing anyway!

    Psychology isn't as linear a subject as Mathematic or Chemistry is it? So teaching it lets him expound upon various ideas and anecdotes that he employs as learning aids or stories that reinforce his point, the reading material for this course forms the bulk of the learning - as I understand from watching the older lectures from Harvard anyway.

Even if one were to set aside the majority of the lecture (which has value), the assignments were given not as a test of course comprehension per se, but rather as an exercise of self-examination that JP wants his students to perform in order to arm them for life. This moves me. Thank you.

And people down vote it!? I feel sorry for the people who do this, because they are obviously ignorant beyond belief.

    Thank you Dr. Peterson for posting these lectures. I'm a STEM guy, so I rarely get to learn about perspectives on life from the humanities/social sciences. Science is obviously useful, and I enjoy it immensely, but it does not capture the full picture of being. I didn't realize that this was the case until very recently when I found myself miserable, bitter, resentful, and nihilistic for reasons I didn't even have words for. I had spent significant time trying to understand the world from a mathematically rational, scientific view but had left my character, values, and ideas of purpose woefully underdeveloped. Your lectures are incredibly valuable, and I really appreciate them. Oh and thank you for standing up to these left-wing lunatics as well. A lot of us on the STEM side have been watching that nightmare in the humanities from afar, perfectly well knowing that it will be heading our way soon. For many, it is already here. Allowing postmodernism to have its way with academia will have catastrophic results on humanity.

    Patrick Daitya it really isn’t. Just quickly read this www.allaboutphilosophy.org/postmodernism.htm Many of the claims post modernism makes are completely unsubstantiated and they deal with that little issue by saying ‘the measure by which you deem our ideology unsubstantiated is a corrupt patriarchy only interested in expanding its ill gotten power’ or something to that effect lol except the problem is, that measure is mainstream science and many of those scientists weren’t white, weren’t conservative and weren’t particularly wealthy.

    Hayley Murphey, read it, the first part is somewhat right, the latter really isn't. Postmodernism at its heart is an art movement, and one that revels in the idea that there is no absolute truth/narrative, yes: that our narrative is always biased. Without postmodernism, the fields of literature (post WW2, there's a big postmodern explosion in how art is made. Pulp Fiction is postmodern, goddamit. ), linguistics, even science in certain parts wouldn't have advanced as much as they have. Postmodern is just deconstructionism: the antithesis part of the Hegelian argument, so as to speak. It's not a negative thing at all. It's not an "idea" to introduce in society as someone who replied to me said. It's just a tool at our disposal. When one gets obsessed with it, and treats post-modernism as a truth (which is exactly what it revels against), and becomes what i call an ideo-ghoul (somebody obsessed by ideology), is when you have the aformentioned example "burr burr patriarchy is inset into westerns society everything sucks captalism's tools to expand unethical power bah bah bah". To say that is postmodernism is to say that Nazism is modernism (the same school of thought that Jordan B. Peterson belongs to). It's a gross misappropration. Why Jordan Peterson uses it, I suspect...is because it's easy. When your opponent is one that resists definition by definition, it's an easy scapegoat. It's as he said about his opponents who would face him in a field of debate "they're not really fighting me, they're fighting a caricature of me". Jordan Peterson has identified troubles in our society, sure, but he's escalated them into this one mythic figure superentity of "post-modern marxism" which at its heart is nothing but weaponized terminology.

    @@NWorship I think most people disagree with Sam on his moral landscape argument. Morality is subjective and it always will be. Morality doesn’t come from religion because we obviously subjectively chose which religion to follow and we are not born with right and wrong imprinted onto our brains, we learn morality based on our environment. The subjective nature of morality is an unfortunate truth but there’s nothing we can do about it. However, it’s clear overtime that what we view as moral changes. And it changes quite dramatically. And funnily enough religion changes its views. What were values of the 1500s are not the same as the values of the same religion in the present day, so making the classic argument of moral relativism doesn’t work. It’s clear that by using logic, reason, discussion and debate we recognise that things such as slavery were wrong. Slavery and homophobia and misogyny are endorsed in most religious texts yet we don’t here about it much anymore. Why is that? Well, the so called theists are moral relativists themselves because now all that stuff is simply meant to mean something else or it’s a metaphor. Religion changes its own values to fit the cultural norms which are ever changing. I suggest u listen to JPs discussion with Stephen fry, Stephen fry speaks on this topic and puts it much better than Sam manages imo. JP also doesn’t outline what we would lose from religion.. he also makes a case for judeo-Christian values being at the core of western society.. well like I’ve already proven, religion changes its values. Not only that but a lot of what’s in Christianity is taken from older religions such as Hinduism. I mean the golden rule pre-dates religion.

He stood up, as every good citizen should, when he felt that his government was enacting laws he felt were potentially dangerous and against what the rule of law is in western societies. He is much opposed to false moral virtue and superiority, but he believes, wholeheartedly, in living a life of virtue. The thing I love most about Jordan is he really breaks things down, and he doesn't try to dumb things down. I occasionally have to get out a dictionary because he uses words or terms that are a bit opaque at times, but usually, he provides such good context that I can discern the meaning. The comments section sometimes brings out points that are worth considering in addition or contradiction to his point.
