Why I Love Great Britain

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021...
In early December 2021 asked by a major British newspaper to write some words reflecting on my recent two-week visit to the UK. I had been invited, then disinvited, to Cambridge University in 2019, when I had planned and made arrangements to participate in a seminar on the Book of Exodus, to help me prepare a series of public lectures on that story. I was invited back to Cambridge this year, and visited, with my wife, in late November and early December, and I wrote about the experience for The Telegraph, a major UK newspaper. That link is here:

I hope you find the video engaging and useful.

    Negative part of today's Britain is not colonialism but the denial. Somehow even after massacring India's economy by converting different kinds of artisans into peasants and coolies who helped them export raw material preventing any kind of industrial revolution, most British believe that their occupation of India resulted in a net gain for us because they gave us the 'gift' of English language. It is like a rapist telling a woman that she had a net gain due to the rape: a baby!

    @mrmayonaise Not only is your feeble attempt at a slur repute with error, which is remarkable given that you put forth not a single argument (Germany under National Socialism did not "invent" rocket technology; you're referring, I suppose, to the V1 flying bombs, or what we now call 'cruise missiles', and the V2 ballistic missiles used primarily in the terror campaign against the British Empire, before going on to lose to said Empire; which was a utilisation and weaponisation of technology which had been in fact first properly been discovered in the United States, in point if fact--as well as minorly in France). But your ignorance of the non-facts you used to construct your solecism and vulgar assertion aside, I'd simply enquire: which country do you regard as "good", to employ the language that your infantile conception of the world involves, or which country or polity would you regard at least as "not evil"? What else, in the post-industrial world, can even begin to explain the evolution of the modern West as the exception to a world of tyranny and feudalism, if not the common law tradition and property rights? And on the question of empire, England in the 1500s was more free and "culturally", to use your word, developed than the states extant TODAY which were the product of Islamic imperialism (perhaps one of few pre-industrial events comparable to the horrors of Nazism and Stalinism). Africa had nothing resembling a written language when Britain had developed steam engines and Shakespeare (unparalleled to this day, it pains me to say, as a lover of Nabakov's prose) had been dead for hundreds of years. China was a feudal monarchy using spring-loaded chariots when Britain was producing Rolls Royce motor cars powered by supercharged internal combustion engines. Moreover, it deteriorated into an even worse form of feudalism in the 20th century, killing about 90 million people in peacetime (more than the Second World War), and is to this day a horrifying totalitarian state, which has survived only through accepting Western capital: most of its growth is not endogenous to China but rather the product of Western corporations outsourcing production and thus investment to that country. India, perhaps the most backwards country on earth before the British arrived, it is said by all economists at any rate, will overtake China after (if it is lucky) achieves a brief period of hegemony, and this will persist into any foreseeable future. That is, the parliamentary democracy (where did that come from?) that was the "jewel in the crown" of the British Empire will be the global power that the other off-shoot of the Empire, the United States, has and continues to be. To what nation are you comparing Britain when you refer to it as evil? Also, allowing for your historical ignorance regarding the origins of jet engine propulsion being the Third Reich, what "cultural" aspects of Nazism have we inherited which you regard as positive, if incidental? It is true that technological discovery is possible in totalitarian systems (though innovation is unlikely: there tends to be a "time limit" to these things); but cultural, artistic, social, legal, constitutional, civilisational changes of positive world-historical significance? This is axiomatically impossible under these other systems. So, I'm sure you will be able to answer these two simple questions (what is the alternative?, what totalitarian system furthered civilisational change for the better beyond the mere technological?). In case you're worried, I am not holding my breath as I wait for you to run away like the crerinous illiterate shit that that you are. I ( I don't normally read any comments for this reason - the notion of replying to this kind of utter puerile garbage is just a waste of a few valuable minutes.)

    @@DenUitvreter No, Britain got the bill of rights(1688), through renewed public interest in individual human rights after the English Civil War, originally started in the Charter of liberties(1100) and Magna Cart(1215), hich were the 1st instances of human rights, in law, ratified, in world history. The reason why English history has had the most impact in the world, in a positive sense (as it also has a negative sense, when you see all the conflicts in the world have arisen predominantly from the Empire), is because of the number of items of legislation at different points throughout history, keeping the public's awareness that their own interests can be protected and individual justice can be served.Many modern nations in the Commonwealth, europe (and the USA), now have such robust structures also, that there are so many items in law and so much consciousness of the public's rights independent of external authority, that it would be very difficult for any tyranny to overcome such countries, such as we see happens in other modern countries like Russia

    @@Rowlph8888 Why do you think English history has had the most impact on the world? After a bit back and forth England was back to absolute rule again, and then the Dutch Republic invaded. The Dutch Republic that had codified the freedom of conscience and therefore religious toleranc in 1579 in what was to become it's de facto constitution. In 1581 It had declared the people had inalienable rights and a monarch had to serve the people, denouncing the divine right of kings, and claimed the people's right to no longer recognize it's monarch when he had become a tyrant. This was the place where the parliaments were made up of commoners, there was upward social mobility, servants nor wives could be beaten, the home originated and besides men like Spinoza, Descartes John Locke could freely live and write on his social contract, inspired by his surroundings. After which he accompagnied Mary to England for her coronation and the signing of the bill of rights. This was also the republic that founded New York and introduced reglious tolerance, multiculturalism and upward social mobilty to the America's, from which the USA later used the Dutch DOi of 1581 as a blueprint. These values were not carried by law, but on one hand by the freedom of the printing press there letting the enlightenment ideas spread of Europe, on the onder hand by the modern capitalism it had invented too, the commercial success and therefore strength. So it changed London and New York directly, and Paris indirectly into places with individual freedom as we know it now, so without having to stay in your class, in the position god, king and nobility had decided for one. The term 'glorious revolution' might give the impression it was a process from within, but that came about because being invaded was already a sensitive subject back then. It's no coincidence the breakdown of the feudal structures that had been there for ages came from the LowLands, including Flanders at first, because feudalism was based on land and didn't work with so much water around. The modern society had been brewing there for ages only waiting for the printing press and protestantism to explode over the globe.

I just want to say thank you Jordan, I’ve never been academically smart, as in school my mind would wander and I would just think about other things and never concentrate. Like a lot of kids, this led me to think I wasn’t smart, so I kind of just gave up on school, and got involved with the wrong crowd. However, when I came across you, you made me realise that being a deep thinker is the biggest superpower you can have in this world. While I still slightly admire certain people/things from the ‘street life’, I also now look up to people such as yourself, and realised how badass a lot of the worlds top thinkers are. Thank you again, you’re a role model to a lot of people, and from all different walks of life. You definitely changed the way I think about the world.

I have personally worked with a chap running a company that aims fairly successfully, to get those on the spectrum into employment. I got 4 GCSEs because ha, what a silly thing. We had no history teacher, therefore, I could not get a History GCSE or study any of it. Great stuff! Jordan Peterson helped me to humble myself, to try to see myself as a catalyst of fixing and changing things, to attempt to see others' points of view. I love our nation dearly. The suicide and unemployment rate of autistic men brings me, truly, to tears. I don't want to see Britain weaken because her social fabric is rotten. Three lads I've met, talked to, shaken hands with in the last year committed suicide. We need to find a philosophical and practical path for lads like us to follow so they don't have to repeat what we went through with the education and healthcare system.

So many of my ancestors were a part of the story that I cant help but feel that the story is a part of me. I'm an American Anglophile, and proud to admit it.

Don't be brainwashed into this modern view of imperialism, yes their were dark times and they rightly should be frowned upon but ultimately the empire gave more to the world and took us into a new era. Your parents couldn't have believed it was truly a bad place if they moved here and also you should acknowledge the fact wherever they came from will also have elements of history that also should be frowned upon, I dare say you're falling for nationalistic views the same way you're accusing this video of being a lie, all for a country you weren't even born in.

    @@108noonoo The definition of a subject is: A member of a state other than its ruler, especially one owing allegiance to a monarch or other supreme ruler. And whether you want to believe it or not… Queen Elizabeth the Great was higher than you in terms of status and rank. Hence why she was Queen. She was supreme commander of the armed forces, head of the commonwealth nations and great Britain, defender of the faith, etc. Even the most decorated generals and soliders are under her in terms of rank. But regardless of rank and status, she was a person like you and me, she was human, a woman, a mother, a grandmother, a daughter, a sister, a friend. You seem to be under the impression that rank/status is somehow subjective depending on ones own idea of their self worth. Its not. Rank/status is bestowed upon or earned in which there is a chain of command that is attached to it. However, despite all this, a persons rank/status does no way impede a persons self worth or right to be treated equally in terms of respect and kindness. In the wake of her majesties funeral, everyone who ever met her said the same thing; she made you feel at ease, she didn’t care about protocol in terms of bowing or curtsying. So yes, those who are British Citizens are subjects to the crown. We are members of this state which with that comes respecting the crown. You don’t have to like the crown or any member of the royal family but you cannot get away from the fact that they are our rulers bound by a constitution which they uphold.

I love how he shows emotion and how he defends free speech, ( which I feel passionately about) and Jordan has extended himself more than most, ( despite ridicule from the people who are asleep). It can painful to be so awake but like him, I will not succumb to the pressures of the masses, to conform to notions that make no logical sense. Thanks Jordan, for keeping me as sane as possible. I have so much respect for who you are and what you have done for so many. You are an real treasure. ❤

    We have the same problem. The other side of the aisle would deny you that same right. They would shut you up and deny you your birthright. So at what point is protecting ideals more dangerous to the principles themselves? When one group would use their freedom of speech to deny you yours, it comes to a point you can’t agree to uphold their protection because they have broken the unspoken contract. If you love freedom of speech, there comes a time you must stand and fight. They can say whatever they want, introduce any policy they wish, but once it censors ideas or denies speech regardless of the implied “good” it must be destroyed or we will lose everything that guaranteed these rights for us, and what must be fought for to guarantee it for our children.

    I am an American who lives under the poverty level and I saved up and bought tickets for myself and a friend to see Dr. Jordan Peterson in March. It’s the first time I’ve bought tickets to any big event. I’m 32 and a single mom, and when I hear him speak, I feel more aligned with the kind of perspective that is constructive and the least pathological. Things make sense and I feel at peace. This presentation of his article did calm and align me. His sense of wonder, gratitude, and pursuit of truth, in a positive and informed way, is like that of a trail blazer when I feel entangled, and like a beacon when I cannot see. I want so much to help make this world a better place. Right now my responsibility is to my children, but I am trying to treasure up these things so that I can hopefully become the person I need to be to make the world a little better in my own way, according to the gifts and strengths that I have, while trying to root out and burn up any pathologies or outdated schemas within me. I am trying, Dr. Peterson, like so many. Please know my appreciation for your interest in keeping yourself as aligned as properly as possible, and your efforts to maintain your health, and your dedication to following that light which sparks your curiosity and glimmers before you, and for sharing this all with all of us.

    As a Londoner, born and bred - now in my early thirties, I have seen my nations name and history dragged through the mud, it's achievements devalued or understated, and watched my countrymen battered and systematically demoralised by vicious and jealous individuals. I've never had an opportunity to hear my place of birth spoken about in such a proud way, or in such a truthful way. We know we are far from perfect, but it's also evident that being born in such a place is, or perhaps once was, a colossal privilege. You can't eat an entire three course meal with delight, be nourished by it, and then turn around and despise the chefs, the restaurant and the farmers responsible for gathering the ingredients. This is my analogy for those individuals that speak of Great Britain as a force of evil in the world. Show me someone who has a high quality of life in modern society and I'll show you a beneficiary of Great Britain.

    you don't know how right you are, Laurence. I'm sure you've heard much loose talk about people having _demons_. the ignorant think of that as a bad thing, when in fact every human being has a "demon" (or _daimon_, as Socrates would have called it.) some have more than one, in fact. demons are morally neutral, strictly speaking. morality is not something that applies to eternal creatures who owe their existence directly to the Creator, and demons are such eternal creatures. depending upon the context, some demons even have a different name and function, and people call them other things like "gods" and "angels". but really all are much the same in nature. they're eternal beings set in motion by the Prime Mover. how does that apply to Mr. Peterson and his comical fake lecture here? well...no human being *voluntarily* makes a complete arse of himself over and over again, the way that Mr. Peterson is dedicated to doing, unless they've got some powerful force within them who's driving them onward. a _demon_, in other words (or possibly more than one.) some demon (or possibly more than one) *wants* to keep Mr. Peterson upright, well sedated if necessary, and burbling pompous words in an empty void while he stares downward at a laptop half the time, thus conveying the irresistible impression that Mr. Peterson's reading someone else's script. it's a ridiculous position Mr. Peterson's placed himself in, but he's thrown his elderly and sickly self fully into the task. that's a demon's work. the work of a _spirit created by the Creator of everything_. so you're right, Mr. Reeve. Mr. Peterson is moved by a spirit from God. possibly more than one such. ~Chara

    Thank you for such lovely praise of my country. The recipe of being British is too complex to explain. The Scottish, Welsh, English and Irish people of Great Britain each think,feel and act very differently as a people, but we rub along quite well for the most part. Our differences make us the butt of jokes we all make towards each other. I think it's our thick skins , sense of humour and the knowing that we're all entitled to an opinion, even if we believe that opinion to be wrong.

I became nihilistic and depressed, my neuroticism got the best of me, and worst of all I couldn't shake away the guilt I felt of a terrifying sin I committed as a young adolescent. Then I discovered you in 2016. I am so grateful you cannot begin to imagine. My love for being in this world, even with its horrors, I rediscovered. Thank you.

    Your country deserves the put downs. You voted a clown in as pm when it was obvious he is an incompetent, immoral, opertunisitic, narcist. You repeatedly vote in a similar crowd as your government who continually errode your ability to function as a decent society. Despite the evidence of this you seem to think by voting the same you'll get something different. I used to be proud of the country I grew up in but Murdoch and the Tories and the idiots that vote them in have after decades rendered England a horrible place now, having destroyed all that made it a decent place. And it just gets worse and worse. If I had to go back I would not go to England as their stupid votes for Tories shows they have lost it. I'd go to Scotland where they still have values and behaviours that renders theirs a decent society. Thatcher said, "There is no such thing as society", she and subsequent Tories have ensured that in England. I feel sorry for you.

    You fought the transatlantic and African slave trade for 175 years and at great cost. You have paid for your sins 1000 times and then some. Anyone that lays the guilt of prior centuries at the feet of modern Britain, is not aware of the penance paid. No Empire in the world with such power has ever been nearly as benevolent as The British Empire, and none of your critics if they had such power would ever have had the strength and restraint to rule in any form other than tyranny. Yes, sins were committed, but you name me a single civilization free of sin. A single family free of sin, a single soul free of sin. None such souls exists. They can’t bring you down by conventional methods, invasion or siege. So they have laid siege to your mind for decades. Do not capitulate, Rule Britannia. Britons will never be slaves, no?
