I think where people run into trouble is when they are not honest with themselves. That can become easier and easier over time until we have chosen dishonestly so often that we can convince ourselves that any action, no matter how horrible, can be justified. And, apparently, it can happen pretty fast, according to the book he mentioned about the German police going to Poland. To say Peterson is well-read is an understatement. He has relied on, over time, his own inner compass to pull out of his readings the things that seem true to him. It can take a lifetime. Until then, just stay out of prison.

I have huge admiration for him because of that. That's leadership, he shows that his approach is one of the correct ones by actively living it out and proving that it works, even though mistakes happen on the way. Best kind of motivation if you ask me.

He started empathising with the theoretical person he was talking about and you could hear the pain in his voice and you could see people in the audience in awe and start crying.

I watch him because the way he speaks is like he is constantly thinking out loud and trying to organize his thoughts to speech in a careful manner. Like a direct path to his thoughts. There is a deep honesty in the way the man speaks that I think isn’t very common anymore. It’s the reason I think a lot of people are drawn to him and why he seems to do so well in debate. There isn’t anything hidden behind what he says, no sugar coated ulterior motives ever so present in discussion these days.

My journey has only just begun.

"There are no great men of God; only weak, pitiful men at the hands of a great and merciful God." What we're seeing with JP is a manifestation of God's wisdom through a chosen vessel. When the world seems like it will tip over in one direction from an overwhelming amount of destructive stupidity and immorality, God declares, "Not so fast," because ultimately, the master will require an account of the stewards left in charge. JP is an indictment against the wisdom of this generation. "He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans. He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them. They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night. But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand. So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth." Job 5:12‭-‬16

*The "Truth", will set you free.*

Beautifully said, as always! Burning off chunks of deadwood, false parts of ourselves/life, to make way for a healthy, living tree, Truth, is painful but necessary. I hope to continue this process forever

Of the many JP videos I have watched so far, this is definitely one of my favorite. He talks here about burning parts of yourself that are dead as a vital step in the transformation process to become who you could be. I am right now in that process and it amazes how right he actually is about what he is saying. Being well articulated in your speech is one thing, but to be accurate in the smallest details is insane. I am blown away. Indeed I am finding out how much I actually LIE, about the painful process of letting those parts of yourself go that are not worthy, especially if it's almost your entire being that is pathological. I can very much relate to Dr Peterson. I am 27 and I have almost the same problems as he had when he was my age, like the lies for the sake of winning the argument. I have been trying to get my act together for the last 18 months or so now. It's been only one month however since I am doing it consciously. I have listened to my conscience, observed my thoughts and behaviors and identified all what needs to burn off through writing it all down. It's a LOT. And a LOT of work. And painful too. I realized I have been living a pathological life all this time. Tomorrow is the start of the second month of my transformation (18 April - 17 May). Wish me luck while in a few hours I descend into the underworld to confront the dragons. After observing and watching, it's now time to slay. ;)

Mike Haines I think a good translation might be something like this: “A man is rick in proportion to the number of things he decides he does not need.” Another quote of his is this: “I make myself rich by making my wants few.” The power, the wealth, is in the not wanting the stuff and things. We’re liberating from earning the money to purchase it, and we’re liberated from the maintaining of it, storing it, insuring it, managing it, keeping it, because we don’t’ have it. :-)

Hey Jordan, I'm also an Albertan, and have followed your videos for quite awhile. I do so appreciate your years of extensive study and research into the most complex subject there is- human beings. I pretty well consider you my Svengali, though I'm 64 and long in the tooth, i find it soul refreshing to listen to your lectures and thoughts. Keep up this GREAT work of your's please...It is such an inspiration for me- and I'm sure many others as well.

I am honest to my own detriment..You're right that people will let you know their own character when they show, outwardly, just how much truth they can really cope with. What I've learned is that IF an individual does not begin with a truth then what ever they build upon it will forever be lies. It's an unfortunate fact but there it is. If a person is made of more sturdy stuff then what they will do is work backwards to a truth but will realize very quickly they must change whatever they have built up in themselves on that first falsehood.

Yup. Long ago I read in a book that you could dissolve a small cloud by looking intently at it for five minutes or so. So I tried it on a day with many small clouds in a blue sky .. I noted some clouds as "controls" and picked one and gazed at it and it dissolved. Repeated the experiment four more times. And I thought DAMN now I have to rethink my whole education !!

i wish more ppl had the courage to listen to this man.

For all my love of the guy, he is the kind of parent that will make a philosophy lesson out of a joke.

Peterson is so incredible in his way of thinking. I’m so glad he lived in a period where we can watch his internal struggle as he searches for the truth. He is honest and doesn’t claim that he is right, admits when he is wrong, but is constantly searching for the truth. Love it.

I love listening to Jordan Peterson because he tells you things that you already know but he articulates it in such a way that he make it profound. I hear the 'voices' all the time. I know that there is the argumentative 'voice' which I came to understand, wants to make me unhappy and destroy me and there is the quiet, one word (usually), 'voice' which wants to protect me and keep me happy. I don't always listen to the quiet voice but the consequences are, without exception, always bad. I'm still learning and growing and alive. Without the full truth no problem can be completely solved. Thanks Jordan.

"The truth is the way and the path of life ...I don't think you can manifest who you are without the truth. It's literally and metaphorically true. The pathway to who you could be, if you were completely who you were, is through the truth. The truth does set you free, but it destroys everything that isn't worthy in you as it sets you free. That is a process of burning. It's painful, because we cling to what we shouldn't be; partly out of pride, ignorance, or laziness." "Everything about you that isn't worthy, is to be put into the flames."

The truth can be seen in ur words thank-you and may the One that is the Word bless you.R

Even with my very limited intelligence I can easily say Professor Peterson has wisdom far beyond his years. For everyone’s sake I dearly wish more would listen to him and learn!

Jordan Peterson has an amazing way of reaching your very core with his words. The truth sounds so beautiful, and it is, but it can and will rewire who you have been, if you let it sink in. Truth; so beautiful...so terribly beautiful.

*Nietsche to a guy with lot of character* : "You CAN handle the truth!"

I can't thank this man enough, has given me a new light in my life.

I will say, telling the truth has been the greatest revelation of my life. I’ve grown so much from this ideal. And I feel as though, I’ve had changed from bad habits and awakened my own and others consciousness

My old school motto was"Be True "and have tried to live that for 60 years. It's the most difficult path to tread and can be painful at times but worth it in the end as the rewards are priceless.

I love professor Jordan Peterson's discourse he adds profound food for thought to our collective shallow minds.

Excellent The Truth is always hard-won.

“Life is a very difficult business: you know it’s fatal and it’s full of suffering and it’s full of malevolence, there’s nothing about it that’s trivial, it’s all profound and in order to find your way through all of that-you need to develop a relationship with something profound.” ❤️👍🏻thanks for the ever so quotable wisdom

There is my truth, your truth, and the truth. Also, maybe he is really talking about the inner truths that bound us to our own linear paths.

"The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.

We can deaden our conscience by everyday choices that deny the truth.

Its slow but the Quran and Jordan are helping me find my true self truth love and responsibility

i Find myself bearing deep witness to the truth he is saying. I can feel and recall exactly what he is talking about from my own experience, the truth sets you free but will burn the false away and that is dreadfully painful.

The truth can be painful, if it touches the part of you which is already ill,damaged, infected,weak. Get rid of the illness,and it will not hurt you anymore.

Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through me (or by me). Therefore, the Truth leads to the Father. I think that he recently converted. Too often he sidestepped the question of whether or not he believe in God, but his reply would always refer to a god. Now he gently inserts Scripture into his lecture.

In other words, he doesn't seem to think it is literally true, but rather that there are basic truths underlying our narratives, myths, and 'holy books', and if we live according to their precepts, our lives will be in line with The Truth.

It's amazing watching Jordans mind unfold, breaking down everything he is saying and going deeper into his own word than most of us could jump into. Listening to him drives me to believe that not only is he teaching us whilst he unravels his thoughts infront of us, but I think in a way he is also teaching himself and has in a way took himself in as a patient that he wants to psychologically help. He has essentially became his work and that's a powerful thing, it's a form of self awareness that should be adopted more often by us as individuals.

He demands instead that every restaurant taste like and look like his own. He is an amazingly egotistical little twat who isn't actually interested in trying to help most of these people.
