Saving the Humanities | Stephen Blackwood | EP 188

This episode was recorded on May 18th 2021.
Jordan Peterson and Dr. Stephen Blackwood discuss his work as a founder of an inner-city youth program and his experience with developing Ralston College in Savannah, Georgia. They have a rich discussion about the philosophical underpinnings of human flourishing, the University and the humanities, the spiritual-intellectual crisis of our times, and more.
Dr. Blackwood specializes in the history of philosophy and dedicates a large portion of his work and studies to the ancient Roman philosopher-poet, Boethius. He was one of the founders of St. George's YouthNet in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is the founding president of Ralston College.

    Dr Peterson, is it possible you could ever source J.K. Rowling as a guest to discuss your work on the Archetypes and it's correlation to her own literature. Im sure Rowlings recent controversy around the infamous pronoun debate would subliminally fall into the discussion somewhere, however; I'm sure many fans of both your work would set their alarms months in advance to hear you both converse! Would this be possible?

After all, murder happens all the time in nature among other animals, so the only case for proving it to be wrong is to put humans on a higher plane than other animals /essentially evoking the foundations of religion.

    In the discussion of architecture and "opening up the horizon," I was reminded of the scene in Shawshank Redemption, when Andy played a song from Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" on the loudspeakers for all the inmates to hear. "I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free."

    Dr Peterson, I find your lectures to be one of the most intriguing things on the internet as a whole. You make me think, not your thoughts but my own, by providing all of the info for me to truly think on a subject. It's off topic for this particular video but you speak a lot about God and man being created on his image. Have you ever looked at that topic from the angle that we aren't made to look like God in the physical form? In fact we are made in his image as a three part being. God the father, god the Son and God the Spirit; all individual but all fully God. We too, as humans, are mind body and spirit. All of our parts are stand alone but all are required for life and consciousness. Our minds handle the inner workings, such as breathing and heart beats, our bodys are our physical vessels and our spirit is who we are, our individualism. Just a thought from a different angle I've heard you approach from in your lectures and books.

    I loved the course of this conversation, and the humble tone of it. Dr. Blackwood's admission of how the academy has failed reminded me of the most intelligent man I ever met. I was born in 1980 in rural Wisconsin. A neighbor of mine was born in 1898 in Holstein, Germany, and immigrated to the USA with his family in 1913. The man could build anything, fix anything, grow anything. He could answer any question you had about nature (plant, animals, weather patterns, lunar cycles, etc.). As a farmer he was very strong and had excellent agility, even in to his 90's. He fluently spoke German, English, Polish, Finnish and French. He brewed his own beer and distilled his own brandy. He was almost completely self-sufficient. The man was an absolute genius. I loved helping him during harvest season and listening to him speak. He was extremely articulate and well read. That's another thing...he was always reading something. He lived to be 105. Unfortunately, according to the measurement of academics today, they most likely would have labelled him a stupid, white privileged, male patriarchy promoter of oppression. I went on to higher education and in all my time working in IT, finance and education...I still have never met another individual who comes even close to his level of intelligence and competence.

    Please talk to James Lindsay again. He has the answers to every question you have about the connection between Marxism and the current “culture war”. It’s what he’s been working on almost exclusively for the last few years, to the point where he is how an expert on it. His podcast “New Discourses” is all about that subject.

    It feels like we're finally starting to find some direction in what we can offer people. It feels like we have some momentum and I hope we keep getting the word out to people that there's plenty of value to be found. There are much richer ways of interacting with the world than nihilism or wokeness.

    I think Peterson hit the nail on the head when he noticed that the philosophy of Marx et al runs directly contrary to the healthy growth patterns of the individual. The wokeness movement is an attempt to find both purpose and meaning in a context entirely defined by individual brokenness and a resultant large-scale loss of personal growth within life context. This 100% aligns with my social interactions and observations: it's the whole reason I have been unable to either make or maintain progress with anyone on "the other side". They are not enough of a person anymore to engage honestly with others.

    I can't get over how profoundly deep this conversation is about this collective society's state of being. Our societies and human interactions have such a profound affect on our lives as the lives of others. It's also such an open minded sympathetic conversation as well (understanding how and why people can turn to and be endodoctrinated by by ideologies that are ultimately socially destructive in practice). If we can't even discuss the most shameful darkness of thought and action within humanity, then it will eat us alive bc it can run rampant as this stuff is collectively repressed or in a way so ppl start acting out to cope bc we're not so utterly distracted by primitive survival like our pre industrial ancestors.

    Jordan, just as the rare and wonderful skills of a concert pianist are at least open to all to share in, learn from, and enjoy, the skills on display in your conversations reach into the minds of the multitudes to share in, learn from, and enjoy. I can't help but think about the story of "The Music Man", where the vibrant personality and motivational ability of the music teacher alone was enough to propel his untrained students to screech out the Minuet in G, just enough to bring their proud parents to tears. Many of us who listen to your podcasts are like those students. Though we lack the education, we *are getting somewhere!* Thank you for providing us with these amazing tastes of excellence in thought and logic...

    I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this episode but that’s not really important, what is important at least to me is that this is one of the most compelling conversations I have ever been privy to. Both of you are so genuine so completely focused and so respectful of each other, it has inspired me in ways I can’t explain with words. I find myself questioning and exploring elements of myself and the relationship with the world around me in new and unfamiliar ways but with each passing day these waysv become more familiar. I can only offer my sincere thanks for exposing me to what I can only describe as a completely new way of thinking and feeling. Please invite Stephen back I would imagine your next conversation will be even more amazing and awe inspiring than this one. Stevens uncanny knack of carefully choosing every word so that he expresses exactly what he wants to express is almost intimidating but ultimately a wonder to behold. It is humility in its purest form and something I might aspire to with focus and great effort.
