Peterson said in the Zizek debat intelligence is being able to tell apart the chaff from the meaningful stuff while displaying his superficial understanding of the Communist Manifesto. Peterson himself can't see his own idiocy.

Just imagine the topic was food and world hunger. And Peterson demanded that a report lists EVERY person who is hungry "when, where, how exactly" to even acknowledge that somewhere someone is hungry. Someone would come to him and ask for food and he would make a speech of how vague "food" is as a category and that it is "low resolution thinking".

Yes, just imagine there was a report that talked about hunger being systemic and structural. Didn’t address who was starving and who wasn’t. Not the who, why or what was responsible for the shortage of food. Famine, war, soil erosion, soil nutrition, gaming..? No, just that it was ‘structural’ and ‘systemic’. Ingrained. That report would be absolutely useless. Which is exactly Peterson’s point. These buzzwords are vague to the point of meaninglessness. You’ve identified a problem but there can’t be any solution precisely because of its vagueness. Maybe that’s the point? So race and racism can be used as a political tool in perpetuity. A good report would identify specifics so they can be addressed.

It can be an easily answered question or not. For example here in Italy lots of women are fascist, specially in the city I come from, but fascism itself sees women as inferior beings. I asked those women (they were girls at that time) "So you are a girl AND a fascist. Does that mean you believe you are inferior?" The answer was a mixture of meaningless body movements and gestures and half sentences like "Nah" "You don't understand" etc. One of them even admitted she would K**l a baby of color (and she depicts herself as a "strong christian"). So we SHOULD know what is racism precisely and how it is intertwined with religion, money, politics etc. How it works and what triggers it. Also the vast majority of italian racists don't even know that so many other racists from abroad believe italians are inferior even if they are white. So, yes, what even is racism? Reducing it as a simple phenomenon does not help anybody

I wish there were more videos like this of Jordan Peterson. Videos of him keep popping up in my feed and he is just awful. People need to talk about why his reasoning is so flawed.

It's because Peterson's ideology (Conservatism) is fundamentally flawed. Because Conservatism is an anti-democratic and anti-social ideology that is incompatible with modern civil democratic society, because it places the "rights" of the individual above the good of society. We cannot have a sustainably functioning society under such terms where society can be exploited and undermined by a select few individuals who have few to no checks or balances on their influence and power. Conservatism is an antiquated, unsustainable, and failed ideology, much like Feudalism and Monarchism, and it no longer deserves to be given serious consideration, beyond being examined as a historical curiosity.

Imagine if doctors and medical scientists took this approach. Imagine doctors and researchers that took no interest in diagnosing a disease, but instead focused only on treating individual symptoms as they occur. We still would have no clue as to the difference between viral and bacterial infections, nor would we really know that such things existed. Cancer would be a cluster of independent symptoms that keep popping up for no obvious reason, and we’d consider someone with malaria and someone with the flu to have the same generic disease because they both have a fever, chills, and nausea, despite the fact that malaria is a parasite and the flu is a virus. And that’s if we even came up with the concept of a disease causing the symptoms at all! Also, great video!

He often talks on “facts” that he shows no data or research of and even at times sounds impossible to even study, and instead of questioning his words they actually believe he must be completely correct and make comments seeming as if they have gained great knowledge or enlightenment on the topic. When I’ve been annoyed enough to comment common sense and ask people to question and think about it, as well as provide good counter arguments of why it’s not true, they just see him as truth and completely ignore this. When you realize how many people will believe anyone they don’t research or know because they seem to be an intellectual or in a suit with some platform, it’s truly sad.

I’m not the only one that sees through him when he is spouting out words that don’t even have anything to do with the subject he is talking about or the fact he addresses a problem and doesn’t talk about solving it.

I would clean my room, but unfortunately for me to do that I'd have to consider the generalised abstractions that are "a mess" and "my room", which is why it's absolutely futile to even try. Can you even define what a mess is? Or a room for that matter? Does my room end at the door, or is it merely an metaphor for my living space at large, in which case do I consider my street.. my city.. my country also as part of my room? And even if we could even begin to untangle the finely layered multitude of incomprehensible spacial metaphors this encompasses, which of course is impossible, we would then have to deal with the roaring dragon in the room, as described in the hero's journey and investigated over many many years by the great Carl Jung, who of course would never have cleaned his room because he KNEW how impossible of a task this paradox truly is. Because that roaring dragon is having to define what a "mess" really is, and if you look closely, it's impossible, there's nothing there but a postmodernist hellscape that is just communist authoritarianism in sheeps' clothing trying to convince you that human suffering is somehow real, which of course it isn't, because human suffering is just another facet of the postmodernist reality-denying leftists' agenda to create issues out of thin air through the same generalisations that make it impossible to clean my room. If you are TRULY interested in truth, in real solutions, then what you need is not to engage in the futile exercise of defining what cleaning your room is, what you need to do is take a tonne of benzos and just.. look at lobsters. Wow aren't lobsters neat? Just look at 'em go!

Honestly. You can hardly make sense of what he’s saying, and when you do it’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard

This appeal to individual responsibility is a very underhanded punchline, that conservatives (which Peterson has always been) love to throw around. Because most people will never run out of things, that they need to attend to or that linger on their To-Do-List. So implicitly it always comes across like: "You have no moral right to complain! You have shit to do!" Which perfectly sums up the political Stockholm Syndrome that so many working poor in the US heartland suffer from, when they routinely vote against their best interests. I highly recommend the book "Deer Hunting with Jesus". It really throws a light on the frame of mind, that has been cultivated for decades. “Don't lament, live the American dream (even if it takes you two jobs, with little to show for it)”. It is a transparent slogan to delegitimize each and any protest. Because you can almost always apply it. Also, you get to imply that the protestors are just a bunch of lazy bums. So this shoulder padding talking point of "personal responsibility" is a conventional deepity, that is often presented by political talking heads and business persons, who blatantly talk out of both corners of their mouth, when they utter it.

This was a fantastic rebuttle. I see so much hypocrisy in him. In general the problem Peterson has is that he's purposely vague in his statements, which leads to him constantly being "misrepresented", so he does the same thing he criticizes these people for. Basically what he was trying to do here was stifle speech for the greater good. In his understanding, a discussion of institution racism leads to bad things in society like groups being pitted against each other. But he doesn't seem to realize that's what most of the "leftists" he bitches about are doing? I think the ultimate reason why he wants to shut down discussions of institutional racism/sexism etc., is because he believes in natural social hierarchies and that can't continue to exist if without things like racism and sexism.

He won't answer straight forward questions regarding religion because he is afraid of alienating his rightwing Christian base as "anti-theiest", therefore "God" is the Divine level of value in his hierarchy.

It's nice when he isn't the only person on stage. Quite often he's solo and gets to go down his absurd, intolerant rabbit holes uninterrupted. People calling out his shit live is refreshing.

The focus on personal responsibility as OPPOSED to politics and social justice is not just a mistake, but a trend often seen in new-age, anti-intellectual and conservative strains of thought. It doesn't challange the dirty political and economic forces. In reality there IS no seperation between social change and personal responsibility. The personal is political, and the political is personal. Ideologies live within us. Every revolution starts within people, with people rejecting the ideology first within them, then outwardly. Anti-racists, feminists, vegans, socialists. People start to live in now modes, use the language in a new way, and become empathic and critical. They start to live meaningfully for others and not just themselves and immidiate family. Doesn't Peterson embody the exact thing he claims to be against? Jordan Peterson is always talking about people not being equipped to change the world until they fix themselves. I partly agree. Traumatized peole react in traumatized ways that tend to harm themselves and others even more. But in Peterson-land "fixing yourself" means "uncritically adopt the traditional conventions in your society". Probably because some conservative strands in psychology tend to equate "healthy" with "adheres well to social norms" (read Todd Grande *cringe*). And look who is speaking. The man who singlehandadly tries to "save western judeo-christian tradition" while addicted to benzos, not being able to digest fibre and constantly on the verge of crying. He is an emotional mess, ascribing ill intentions everywhere people claim to want a better world. Paranoia, rage, despair, always lurking beneath the surface. He had some things to say, but his contribution to the cultural discorse is LONG expired, and he just remains a desperate, paranoid and irrational force for evil, now.

I totally agree with this video and thank you for making it! :) The only part I think I can reach common ground with Jordan Peterson is that "fixing ourselfs" has impact on a global scale which will have an impact in core issues such as the climate change. "Education changes people. People change the world", if we all get knowledgeable regarding a problem it's way easier to solve it.

You nailed it! This is precisely what he is doing. He’s a great protector of the status quo. He’ll give lip service to the idea that there are systematic problems and things about society that could be improved, but you’ll never hear an answer out of him. He’ll never suggest we actually do anything to fix the problems. We shouldn’t, according to him. It’s too risky. We don’t know what might happen. So we need to keep things exactly as they are now. And wouldn’t you know it, how things are now just happens to work extremely well for the white, well-educated man Peterson is. He’s a grifter. He’s the strongest proponent of the status quo I’ve ever seen. The fact that so many people see value in him saying “we shouldn’t ever change anything at a societal level because it’s scary” and people actually think he’s got something deep or intelligent to say amazes me. It’s a blight on the education system that so many people can’t see the obviousness of his grift.

I was a strong supporter of capitalism which he champions but I think that ideas like socialism should be explored .

I checked more into videos that interview homeless people and it turns out most of them were doing ok until someone either lost his/her job , one homeless guy was homeless because he couldn'r face the death of his wife so he couldn't go back to the place he shared with his wife, one was looking for a job and living in tents and was not able to make ends meet on minimum wage and then comes the drug use. JBP has championed capitalism and whole heartedly refused or taught to not help other people out because one has to fix him/herself. There are valid arguments to that but you would never see peterson talking about lowering the materialism we are so badly addicted to or drive an eco-friendly car etc. I checked what Finland did to mitigate homelessness , Finland has a policy of "housing first" where if you have lost your job and are not able to support yourself , you will be given a place to stay first then they will sort out other stuff. I would like to give him the benfit of doubt but the way I think is there is a lot of lies involved from his side now and it is all about the money and all that fame has went to his head.

As a result, untold numbers of people around the world STILL firmly believe that trans people have somehow sought and received special treatment in Canada. Worse - that they are to blame for undermining basic freedoms/rights which are dearly held. See: The Canadian Bar Association - CBA Position on Bill C-16 for a bit of that concrete. In his Cambridge Union address Peterson claimed that he 'worked for a UN committee on sustainable economic and ecological development'. *He did not* (He advised the former CEO of Blackberry who DID work for a panel on sustainability.) On BBC's HardTALK Peterson claimed to be an 'evolutionary biologist' and an 'expert' no less. *He is not* Speaking with 'Dr Oz', he claimed to be a 'social scientist'. *He is not* In ‘12 Rules’, his biography stated he had been “inducted into the coastal Pacific Kwakwaka’wakw tribe,” This prompted a comment from Pankaj Mishra, the NYT critic reviewing 12 Rules. To which Peterson replied as follows via twitter: ‘You say “Peterson claims that he has been inducted into ‘the coastal Pacific Kwakwaka’wakw tribe’ Just what do you mean by “claims” you peddler of nasty, underhanded innuendo, you dealer in lies and halftruths?’ He also called Mishra a “sanctimonious prick”, an “arrogant racist son of a bitch” and threatened to “slap him” in one of his (now familiar) Peterson twitter meltdowns which he ended with the words “fuck you”. It subsequently became clear that *Peterson was NOT inducted* as he claimed. The bio was amended. So much for 'tell the truth, or at least, don't lie'. He may well cite studies behind his claims, but how much of it do you checkout for yourself? Are you SURE it is represented accurately/correctly? Do you look for corroboration from those QUALIFIED to speak on the matter? For EG, the research on which Peterson based his lobster thesis (dominance/hierarchy/serotonin/anti-depressants) was a minor study of captive lobsters, published in 1997. This looked at the effect serotonin and prozac, had on a lobster's 'decision' to fight or retreat. HOWEVER, the study findings were largely undermined within three years. Further research in 2000 discovered that the large doses of serotonin used - several magnitudes higher than normal levels - had effectively paralysed the lobster. It fixed them in a 'flexion' stance - which Peterson sometimes demonstrates and likens to that of a triumphant boxer after a knock out fight. In fact, the flexion stance immediately precedes flight, but the huge amounts of serotonin injected into them had rendered the lobsters physically unable to even initiate, let alone carry out, this natural response. Ergo, all bets were off, when it came to related results and conclusions of the 1997 study. *BTW these studies predate 12 Rules by 21 and 18 years respectively.* Just to be clear, a great deal of research has been done since 1997, thanks to the concerns of the lobster fishing industry in the Gulf of Maine, which has funded most of it. Furthermore, you won't find anyone qualified in any relevant field who supports Petersons observations. In fact, they were challenged/debunked at the time, by the likes of evolutionary biologist PZ Myers and Marine Biologist, Bailey Steinworth to name but two. The question is this: do you STILL believe that human hierarchies are 'hard wired' - inevitable - part of our DNA due to evolutionary processes? If so, WHY? Peterson has quite a reputation for his selective approach to research, knowledge or data, as well as a somewhat biased interpretation of it. His observations on 'agreeableness' and the gender pay gap, the Nordic paradox and biological sex - QED. None bear close scrutiny. He also has a well documented history of speaking at length on matters in which he has no expertise and misrepresenting himself/his work in the doing of it. Am happy to supply 'concrete' on that, too, if you like. *But, with regard to history* Either his knowledge is appalling or his recounting of it is disingenuous - specifically designed to push a highly questionable narrative. One of his nastier habits is blithely skipping over 600+ hugely significant years in his recounting of modern European history. He does this, particularly, when speaking on the Bible/Christianity and Western Civilisation. For example, in the first lecture of his Biblical series, he leaps from the Bible to Nietzsche like a ruddy gazelle! That's over 1000 years! Given the subject matter, it boggles the mind that he should completely ignore The Reformation, The Renaissance and The Enlightenment (including the Scientific Revolution). In that BBC HARDtalk interview, Stephen Sakur raised this question and quoted Paul Thagard, a Canadian Philosopher who had also observed Petersons omission in his review of Maps of Meaning. Petersons response was to simply dismiss Thagard ('that person') and, with a wave of his hand, blew off circa 400 years of the Enlightenment - not only in it's significance, he even tried to reduce its duration to little more than 100 years! Thats just bonkers. Oh and he has no problem pulling the atheist attrocities fallacy out of his back passage, as and when it suits him, too. You've heard him referred to as a pseudo-intellectual grifter many times but apparently have not been moved to check anything for yourself. So much for 'always assume the other person knows something you don’t' Well, now you have a few things to go on. You should *TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE* What field of expertise does Peterson excel at? How well does HE understand human history? And how much literature has HE read and fully understood? He is NOT a philosopher, biologist, evolutionary biologist, social scientist, historian, theologian, Biblical scholar or lawyer. He just ain't. He's a psychologist who well understands the power of pathologising discourse, the internet and the algorithm. Think on. .

Most of JP's contribution over many years could be usefully summarised as ...projection.

Thing about Peterson is that his mask has come off and became obvious conservative fanatic after his brain melt down with drug action and no longer make convoluted sentences to hide his agenda. Now he cries when sees a plus size model in swimsuit magazine

He uses pseudo-intellectual jargon to make his opinions sound smart, but if you translate them into straightforward terms, he isn't reasoning, he's name calling, "low resolution thinking" is another term for stupid. One person asks a reasonable question based on societal consequences and his paraphrased response is "that's stupid." Seems like he's carrying on with the right wing tradition of projection.

I completely agree that was stupid. It is much smarter to judge an entire institution racist instead of spending energy on the actual racists. That way, we can also have a whole group of people that we can turn our anger against while feeling morally superior (without requiring any real effort). What is the solution? Burn it all to the ground of course.

He doesn’t disregard influences that structures have on individuals. If you don’t know those influences, it is kind of hard to make personal changes in your life. One of his best points is that people who can’t get there own lives in order shouldn’t be trying to get the world in order. Societies are made up of individuals and individual choices create societal choices. JP focuses more on the individual because you have more control over your own actions than the actions of others.

@@garrettcrabtree5050 You're still making the same error and mistake Peterson is making. Individuals do not make society, society brings about individuals. Individuals do not exist in a vacuum. Why his "get your house in order before you make the world in order" is so very bad is not that we don't know how impossible this is, we also know it doesn't mean anything, even to him. I mean, get yourself in order, he says, what if external influences like structures are what's causing your disorder? What then? And there's no specification or explanations he makes for you to know how you've gotten to that stage, he just says this vague point everytime someone criticizes him for his justification of the status quo and his right leaning centrism, which he likes to pride himself on. He doesn't want to have anything to say about anything. There's no good advice from that. His individualistic Philosophy is giving him a blindfold over the fact that we as human beings and the society we live in are extremely interconnected. Lastly, this isn't even important, but he doesn't follow his own advice. He'd been abusing Benzo or so, because of depression from something bad happening to his wife. So, did he just "put" himself in order first? No. He started tweeting obsessively on Twitter, and not only that he went to Russia to get help for his addiction. So, in other words, he can't "fix" himself, his problems are coming from external factors, like depression, family issues, and most importantly, our Capitalist consumer economy had turned him into an addict. My point exactly, the external circumstances bringing internal turmoil, which you can't miraculously just fix. That's why people who have broken lives, advocate against the injustices they see. Their doing that, and their lives not being in order doesn't mean they cannot understand poverty or racism, or any of that. That's a ridiculous assertion. So much for individualism. No one takes this guy seriously anymore.

Peterson is simply pointing out the danger of broad-brush approaches. With the example at hand, just labelling the sport as “structurally racist” is superficial. You have to identify the individuals being racist, then consider additional factors that may have enabled THEM. There may be issues within the cricket club at play but these need to be defined specifically so that we can find agreement: was it an issue with the hiring process of those managing the complaints? Was it a lack of professional standards? Why did that lack of standards persist? Only starting from the individuals first will you start to get meaningful answers. During Question Time, there was a debate over the presenter asking a POC a question about race first. Some said it was racist, some said it was not. If one labelled the entire broadcaster structurally racist, they might use that as another example of structural racism at play. However, this is when definitions become unhelpful because the definition starts to lump together things that people don’t agree upon as racist. So, I don’t think labelling Peterson’s input as “dumb” is a mature way of characterising a differing view on such a complex topic.

It consist of conservative grifters pretending they doesn't know what a word or multiple words mean in an effort to derail a conversation, and this words are words that everyone understands but for some reason they don't and they get mad at us for understanding lol Peterson does this a lot but he geniunally doesn't understands what words are a lot of times and is mindblowing to watch, an other example would be ''What is a woman''

Peterson has so much suppressed rage. He's a child that wants everthing his way...or the toys will fly across the room.

6:14 “Petersons world then is a world of individuals who have ultimate power within their own lives and aren’t held back by structures and systems” With this statement you are giving Peterson far too much credit. This statement assumes his statements are meant in good faith. But as far as I can see the evidence is that Peterson believes that Conservative maintenance of the Status Quo is paramount and if you have issues with the society you have to fix yourself by coming into alignment with societal norms. He talks about individuality, but the reality is he abhors people being respected for their individuality. IE His endless attacks on LGBT communities.

Yeah only peterson can do this, huh....

Spot on mate, absolutely spot on.

Your criticism of Peterson's individualism is valid. Your criticsm of the specific talking point he brought up in this case, however, is not. Popper reported this famous anecdote about his interaction with Adler, that I think might help clarify: Once, in 1919, I reported to him a case which to me did not seem particularly Adlerian, but which he found no difficulty in analyzing in terms of his theory of inferiority feelings, although he had not even seen the child. Slightly shocked, I asked him how he could be so sure. 'Because of my thousandfold experience,' he replied; where upon I could not help saying: 'And with this new case, I suppose, your experience has become thousand-and-one-fold'." You see the point here? The particular case that Popper described to Adler was understood and explained and interpreted by Adler in light of his global, abstract theory: it would not look 'adlerian' per se, but if you accept Adler's pespective everything becomes adlerian. Once you have accepted the theory, the broader framework, as a priori true, you will find confirmations of its validity everywhere. That's why reasoning should go the other way: you start from particular cases, and then you build a theory that relies on them. When you discuss an episode of racism, you must be able to identifiy the episode as racist without appealing to a larger, global, abstract theoretical framework about the omnipresence of racism. A racist act must be racist even without mentioning or discussin "systemic" or "structural" racism. Otherwise, like Adler, you will be able to find confirmations of systemic and structural racism everywhere. And, in parenthesis, that's actually very common in discourse about discrimination. You might ask your interlocutor why they are so sure that some act, that doesn't seem racist or sexist or whatever at all, is racist, and they will reply "in lgiht of systemic racism/sexism". And that's an obvious fallacy. If you can't explain why a specific act, *per se* , is racist, if it's racist only bacause you are applying a theory-of-everything that makes it racist, then it's not.

Don’t you think that in a context such as an open discussion panel he could come up with better ways to convey this idea? As soon as he used quotation marks on racism he lost a lot of credibility. And him trying to justify the need to discuss each episode individually and out of context does follow the example Popper pointed out, but at the same time he was also talking about something he very clearly wasn’t very knowledgeable on. So how could he even discern whether it was or wasn’t due to the structure of the institution?
