Yes, beautifully put. You know, I was born in early 2000s, generation Z. And I have thought for a long time, and I still do, I guess, to much less extent, that this era, modern society and modern life what we live now it sucks. I want to go back where there were no internets and society had some values, it was real lives, real people. But you know, every era or decade had its own problems and advantages, and I mean. Today it´s you see a lot of romanticizing or some deception elements, through movies, news, society or whatever. Like oh, the 50s were great! Or you watch a Gladiator movie, oh man, wow that´s era to live at, it was noble, and awesome. The fact is you don´t know, you see a movie and yes there would be a lot of moments like that, I mean, strength and honor and it has is own charm but you know, you don´t see, you don´t know what it really was. The bigger picture, you see a little bit of a fragment, the movie had a message, but you need to educate yourself, read books and study a lot, and it´s not a trivial issue. I suppose what I am trying to say, one of the things, is that you need to educate yourself a lot, objectively, and it´s hard to do. And also, you gotta see the two sides of the coin, or the fifty little parts of the coin, so you can better understand what it really was. We live in a bad, strange times regarding to society and people, our values, we are so shallow, we are lost and confused, but we can and we need to do something with that. We are not that bad, we are trying, people are amazing creatures. But you know without internet and such, I would probably live miserable life, and I think I would not be alive. It´s as you said, this is a spark we need, Jordan Peterson and David Goggins too and others, other messages it helped me with my life. It resonates with my soul, it´s the way. And the thing is we can do something with our lives and our society, and what is happening it is natural, but we can prevail. Thanks for the modern day Socrates and these lectures, man.

It's 9pm, I've been aware of the chaos that was building in my apartment for weeks and I finally decided to clean my room. I spent the last 2 hours doing the dishes, wiping clean the counter and the stove top, even took down the grease trap of the kitchen fan and washed it. I then went into the cabinets and organized everything inside so that they are easily accessible when I need something. Already while organizing I found several items that I've been looking for in the past that was burried under the pile of junks. As I'm doing this I get an email for a big freelance job opportunity so as I was sorting out my room I receive a solution to the financial insecurity that's been plaguing me for the past few days.

But now instead of trying to juggle a new job AND a messy house, you've just got the new job to deal with. You put yourself in a better position to handle the new situation. A messy house could have distracted you from the new job, making you lose it right after you got it. Or the job could have distracted you from the house and made it even more of a crap heap, which caused black mold to grow and destroy your health. Stuff like that.

I love how the podium leaves the frame and Jordan speaks cinematographically from a black void, his articulations being the only thing providing contrast; and then, the podium drifts back into frame and Jordan approaches it like voyager docking back at port after a long adventure in the metaphysics and rhetoric.

@@songbird7450 I am particularly struck by (and appreciate) Peterson's response to questions related to belief in God... I think he is absolutely correct - fundamental to the answer is an clear understanding of what is meant by "God" and "belief"... Years prior to my exposure to Peterson, I became deeply interested in economics and the nature of spontaneous, emergent order evident in free markets, moral systems, language, and other social institutions... The importance of religious belief in sustaining tradition is emphasized in the final chapter of Hayek's "The Fatal Conceit", a chapter entitled "Religion and the Guardians of Tradition"... This led me to conclude that, regardless of what we think the word "God" means (with its usual animistic connotation), people use it to describe phenomena that defy reason and lie beyond conception... Since such things constitute the vast majority of our circumstances (the knowledge we possess is infinitesimal compared to the knowledge we don't possess), God, whether we believe in "him" or not, is the reality of our existence - and understanding this is a prerequisite for, as Peterson says, properly orienting ourselves in the world...

I know he is going to take a lot of criticism both from the Left for invoking the stories of the Bible and from the Right for pyschologising religion and not embracing the metaphysical reality of god and other deities. And that is where we need to be, people. Between those extremes, working out a new rationale for community and positive action, beyond ideology.

2:10:38 As someone who lives in Russia and understands its political situation quite well, I must tell that Russia doesn't return to Orthodox Christianity and it is indeed mere collusion between a corrupt church and a corrupt state. Our elites were taught by Soviet schools that religion is merely an instrument of manipulation of masses, so when the Soviet system collapsed our politicians from CPSU suddenly became religious. All top politicians in Russia, including Putin, are (former) CPSU members. There is huge propagandistic push now for traditionalism and Orthodoxy and all that, but it's all hypocrisy, because our current political regime is essentially kleptocracy. Most people in the country identify themselves as Orthodox Christians by now, but at the same time less than 5% of population ever read the Bible and there is a lot of immorality and crime here. Just look at homicide or abortion statistics for instance. But having said all that, I should also notice that the younger generation is much better and moral than the older ones, those who were born in the USSR. They, young people, usually don't consider themselves religious but they basically act as if they believe in God, they have moral principles. Not all of them, but a large portion of them for sure. And overall situation with crime gets better every year. I'm not afraid of getting my stuff stolen while sleeping in a train as my parents and grandparents were at their time. And I believe it is the case not because the government's efforts, but despite the government's efforts.

Very interesting the part where you say it's helpful to treat yourself as a loaded weapon, that you are capable of doing a lot of damage if you are careless. When I bought and started conceal carrying a gun every day, I found myself more aware of my actions, and thought more thoroughly about what their consequences may be now that I carry a loaded weapon. Used to be I wasn't above flipping off a person who cuts me off in traffic, but now, I don't even so much as honk. I realize if the other person snaps and comes after me, I might have to use my gun to defend myself. Both the psychological and legal consequences of shooting another person, especially if it could have been completely avoided by showing a little restraint, are no small thing. To the contrary, it would be a massive, life-altering ordeal. So I learn to let trivial things go, things like someone cutting me off, or someone calling me a mean name. Every time I have to ask myself, "is this worth escalating to the point of no return?" The answer so far has always been, "no," so I don't let interactions with people bother me anymore, because it isn't worth an irreversible life-altering moment. It's amazing how carrying a gun has vastly improved my patience and tolerance. It's not the gun, but rather the conscious thought that my attitude can result in actions capable of abruptly ending a human life. It puts things in perspective. My gun is also rather heavy and large (full sized service pistol weighing about 2.5 pounds fully loaded), and that weight and bulk on my belt keeps me aware that it's there. I can't ignore it, and it's a constant reminder I'm capable of great evil as well as great good, that my presence carries significance, even if everyone is oblivious to me carrying. I suppose this takes your loaded weapon statement to a literal level, and you are right. Even without a gun, what we say and do can impact the people around us more than we may think, and can have lasting consequences. Some of the things people have said and done to me when I was a child hurt more than any gunshot, piercing me to the soul, wounds that never fully heal.

No, but it does prove a lack of evidence, a fear of your lie being seen through, and makes it a religious dogma.

You seem to subscribe to the idea that biology is racist and therefore reality must be ignored at all costs. 2 That is begging the question. 3 There is no evidence. "Also because questioning them can be very hurtful to the people it happened too." Even pretending it happened as advertised, so what? Do you think people have a right not to have hurt feelings? If so I want fat people banned from public spaces. "What about all the people who lived through the Holocaust and all the photos? " Sigh. Watch the videos I listed. Work camps existed, about 270k people died, mostly from typhus. There was no systematic extermination of Jews nor even a desire to do so. "To prove that governments all over the world are coordinating in their deceit of the populace, you need to provide a lot more evidence." They have all (except the US) made it illegal to question it, that alone proves a conspiracy to mislead. "I don't have time to watch your video" Well, when you decide the truth is important enough to make time for get back to me.

I debated whether I should take this as simply a good joke, which is likely and did make me laugh, or address the idea as if you said it seriously, which you may have well meant it as it is not unreasonable especially if church is not a common experience for you. I decided to address it as the latter because while we can all enjoy a laugh and move on, the existential importance of your statement drives me on to tell you... that when you find a church that is Holy Spirit filled and God really moves in, it blows this experience out of the water. I hope you see this as what I intend it to be, a message to encourage you to experience and see for yourself that God isn't just a concept but a person, and ultimately good, just, and seeking your ultimate good, which can only be fully realized when you are able to humble yourself and seek him. God bless you, I'm off to clean my kitchen and build a shelf while finishing this lecture.

Part of me was irrationally annoyed at the "intellectual" dude at 2:02:29, but then part of me also gets where he's coming from. I'm a bit of a misanthrope myself who spends a lot of time in my "head space" and interacting with people for long periods of time gets exhausting fairly quickly. Glad to hear Peterson's response though. Just because someone may prefer talking about abstract ideas/concepts, while the majority of the "normies" (ie usually well-adjusted people unlike "intellectuals") prefer more concrete topics, that doesn't make the intellectual the better person by default. *Wisdom is not intellect. Knowledge is not morality.* It's taken me a while to learn how to navigate interactions in which I'm not interested in the surface conversation but the solution I've come to to cope is just ask questions! People love talking about themselves and will share more than they realize about if you're good at asking questions in an open and innocuous way. Basically you have to get over your conceit and work harder at listening to people because you do not hold the copyright on wisdom and everyone can teach you something (even if only as an example as what not to do).

And in this last 6 months I belive I've done all the grow up I should have... I feel as if I am an adult now. Which I didn't quite feel like at 17 with my first son or at 21 with my second. Everytome I feel weak I come to Dr peterson and I go listen to reggae. Those two things I do almost daily and they help me incredibly to keep my sanity and my head in the place it needs to be despite of many many things. I'm not sure why I'm writing this. Maybe because he would maybe read this. Who knows. The thing is that this biblical series is gold and I'm infinitely thankful for it.

​@@mcspankey4810 It's much bigger than that considering that these ideas span far further and far deeper than mere Christianity. These are concepts that can be found in all religions and is more about the profundity of human experience and how religion is the mere tool we use to attempt to understand that experience. You might as well replace God with Amaterasu or Buddha or Marduck or Horus or any profound text that expresses the exact same idea. It like you didn't even listen to lecture one, where he explained how these texts are actually amalgams of multiple texts across thousands of micro religions that culminated into one deity due to the compounding expansive conquer that the early tribes achieved. Whatever you think shook you, you probably need to think about it harder if you just stop at "Sky daddy did it".

Discovering the profound teachings of the Bible has been a revelation, especially when I reflect on the unfolding events in the world. The alignment with ancient prophecies is striking, highlighting the divine wisdom embedded in the scriptures. My love for the word of God deepens as I navigate through the challenges, realizing the need for His presence in my life. Thank you, Father, for your boundless love and mercy. AMEN AMEN AMEN 📖🌏🙌

Since I’ve started watching these biblical series’ , when I sit and think about my life as suggested by Dr. Peterson , I find my inner voice is his voice! And it sounds as smart as he seems to be to me.

We like to imagine atheists as the only smart men in the room, but I believe that any honest and rigorous scholar who examines the teachings of Christian tradition runs the risk of encountering truth. CS Lewis talked about his conversion being manifest as "black heel marks all the way to the throne of God".

Atheism is the product of Christianity. No such thing existed before monotheism. The christian tradition is a history of deceit and hypocrisy. It is 2000 years of killing people and lying to them in the name of love. No church has ever followed the teaching of the fictional Jesus. Everyone knows that those stories are bs and that pacifism is retarded. "God" doesn't have a book, a son, need apologies, require bloody human sacrifice, have an ego problem, or murder children as the bible god does. If you read the bible and identify with those twisted fucks who wrote it your moral compass is broken.

@@michaelcharach7447 Yes, that's to be taken into account while making real-life estimates :) But there's another aspect of it: improvement is incredibly difficult to put in numbers and percentages and this is why many people give up so early when making any kind of change in their life. Plateaus are often part of improvement themselves, it's just that the improvement is hidden to a person's evaluation system. They are necessary to have a "breakthrough".

The question about helping difficult people/BPD unexpectedly moved me to tears. I felt like Peterson was speaking directly to me. I have recently (finally) cut all ties with my father who was "pulling me down with him as he drowned". His new girlfriend has BPD and the both of them have become twisted, abusive, toxic people. After trying for two years to save him, I made the difficult decision to walk away. Peterson's words are incredibly affirming. His acknowledgement that these situations occur within families and his recommendation to walk away, has made me feel less alone. Thank you, Dr. Peterson

Learning so much from these lectures that I kind of wish I had studied this years ago...not sure if this accumulation of knowledge and associated wisdom was available even 40 years ago so I'm glad I've stumbled on it now. I've read The Power of Positive Thinking, the Bible, and several others that sort of pointed in this direction. I've also studied (and taught) martial arts and tried to implant that power of positive attitude in my students, most of who were young children, and now 30 years later I still keep in contact with a few of them and they are all amazingly positive and productive adults. I'm going to recommend these lectures to anyone and everyone that can follow them even though I know some of the negative connotations that people associate with the Bible will be an issue that they will need to deal with to get the full value of these talks. Hoping they will help everyone open their eyes as much as they have helped me to refocus on the most amazing tool we have at our immediate disposal: the ability to lift ourselves out of our misery with a thought and a prayer.

The world needs this man now...God bless him...
