I absolutely love Dr. Peterson’s videos, his mind, how he expresses himself … however, as of late I find myself wishing that he would allow the interviewee to speak more. I find myself urning to know the opinion and thoughts of the interviewee …. However, in those moments I feel bombarded with more thoughts from Dr. Peterson. I just wish he would let the interviewee express themselves the same, if not more than him.

Yes, reading really is so important and is accessible to almost everyone. My brother is intellectually disabled from a brain injury during birth, but he reads very well. Now, his IQ is in the 70s, which is better than some other ID people, I’m not saying EVERYONE can read. But most can. Lots of video games from the 90s and 2000s didn’t have voice acting and had quick moving text boxes, and that was an excellent tool in his reading practice.
@smb0621 Says:
Hearing him say he’d trade every educational accolade he’s earned in exchange for a stable, warm family environment…like a punch to the gut.
I don’t want to “high five the drowning person” who’s already in a fragmented family situation—if you aren’t or can’t raise your children in a stable, married two parent situation anymore for whatever reason, it is what it is and you have to do the best with what you’ve got right now. But hearing his story really encourages me to think the single greatest gift we can give our children is birth mom and birth dad, married, in a functional, safe, respectful relationship.
Wealth and opportunities are nice; but that’s the lifeline. That’s the foundation.
Again, not to dunk on people who aren’t in that situation or can no longer be in it; as I said earlier, wherever you’re at, whatever’s happened in the past, all you can do is the right think right now with what you’ve got.
But for future generations, yeah…maybe we should be casting vision for our kids that a good marriage is unapologetically the ideal, and if we find someone, anyone, who is living out a good example of what that looks like—get them in our kids lives so they can see it.

Elementary school drop out here. I started to listen to Jordan Peterson and just after two years my life changed forever. Now Im a Space X engineer building rockets for Elon Musk. I own my company which I designed electric bikes from scratch and got two masters degree in computer science. Now I know how to dress well and smell good and I constantly get DMs from all the ladies in town. My whole life changed in just two years after listening Jordan Peterson. I used to be playing the whole day playing video games in my mom's garage, now I own 3 properties and have two cars. I daily exchange stocks from my home and every morning before 6 AM I already made 6k before going to work. Crazy to think that I didn't even had a job before. Thank you Jordan Peterson you are a blessing for humanity.

@magmagnusnus Says:
@54:34 - This part really made some questions pop up in my mind.
- What would Jordan Peterson's life look like today if he had a similar family situation as so many of us had growing up?
- What would my life look like today if I had the kind of family Jordan Peterson had?
I'm wondering if there is some kind of potential that is squashed or in some way damaged (maybe only changed?) when one grows up in a dysfuncional family (surrounded by addiction, lack of intimacy, feeling like a failure, loneliness). The wounds left by it seem to me to steal brain power or life force that would be used for growth and progress were it not for them existing; holding one back by requiring active healing to move past them.
I don't know.
But this makes me really want to give my future child/children a stable home with lots of support, surrounded by good role models that embody health for them to mirror.

@jennifernagely5097 Says:
I feel like this retaining you from making bad decisions till you mature and can think for yourself and choose for yourself is what teaching your children the morals of biblical faith can do but even more so because they have pray and also the Grace of and power of God from that virtue and then they will come to a point where they will be responsible to be free to choose to reject or freely choose God (but at least they will have a better understanding, hopefully good examples, and God’s Graces from prayers). It may still take time hence the journey and some may never choose but hopefully you have given them a better chance and ultimately if it is God’s doing and their free choice to cooperate with Him and His Mercy. I believe in the fact He died and we all have a chance to see the Cross and see His Love and Mercy and now we get to freely choose Him and Love Him choosing The Way, The Truth and The Life (not ours but His). And we can fool others and ourselves but never Him. He sees our true Heart and also our efforts, confusion and our pride and choice. This is why we don’t know who goes to Heaven or Hell. But please realize religion is the habit of virtue that gives to God what is His (it is where we worship -thank Him-). We give Him our Love. The way He asked us too not the way we choose and we do it together not isolated so we aren’t fooled by others or our pride. JESUS LOVES AND THIRSTS FOR OUR LOVE OR WHY WOULD HE SUFFER FOR US. PLEASE REPENT AND LOVE HOME BACK. MERCY INVOLVES TRUTH WE ALL SIN AT SOME TIME AND ARE BROKE

JBP basically says that DEI is a lowest common denominator luxuary belief for someone who needs some kind of modern, 'ethical', system to put them above the "hoi polloi" (AKA - you and me). So "Marxism" has gone full-circle. Beginning as a practical politics, supported by workers, which proclaimed it did not need an ethics - "Marxism" in its modern incarnation of DEI, is now an elite belief system supported by some bosses (or rather their grown up kids[1]) which is ONLY an ethical system. But - then again - only an ethical system in theory - because practically speaking, real D.E.I. would rip into tiny pieces and disintegrate any actual society which attempted to implement it! As any actual, old skool Marxist would tell you - see "The Meaning of Race", by Kenan Malik, 1996 - which intellectually destroyed D.E.I., only 28 years ago.
[1] E.g Baroness Ruth Hunt, is one such "kid".
@glenndicus Says:
As somebody who began his college experience under chaotic circumstances while on the streets of LA, sleeping in a Dempsey dumpster at night, I had no imposed structure upon me. Yet, growing up in a single parent household, my father was an example of somebody who had a job. He’d wake up from his nap and leave home at 6pm every day. It stuck and From that, I learned to recognize structure when I saw it.
However, I was lucky enough to come across a counselor who taught me the importance of scheduling, with guidelines on how much study time I should set aside per unit of class.
Broken down to half hour increments I mapped out everything.; work, class, study and free time. After about a month of strictly adhering to the schedule I no longer needed the schedule because it became innate.
So, from a high school dropout living on the streets I would go on to graduate UCLA’s Engineering school, co-found a company with the father of the Internet while acting as lead hardware engineer for the first wireless hotspot. And I did so despite racist anti-white bureaucracy at every important stop of the way.

It wasn’t until I git to this age, I realised my totally dysfunctional, neglectful upbringing was not the norm. All of my friends had similar upbringings. No role models, no mentors, ignored completely, left for months on end with no guidance or protection. I’m still standing and continue now to educate myself with podcasts etc. still no money tho but my belief in God and Angels sustains me, now through chronic pain. We keep going. We keep going, despite it all

The discussion about reading was interesting. My wife used a book Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. All three children could proficiently read before age three. Kind of annoying when they read cereal boxes while you are trying to get things moving in the morning. They always tested well above grade standards. It served them well. Lessons are only 15 minutes long and were about bonding time as much as reading

@TheHunnyRunner Says:
I wouldn't be so quick to categorize "eat the rich" as "devour the competent" but rather, akin to a rallying cry of "let them eat cake". Personally, I agree with the risk of throwing the competent out with the bathwater. But a society that hasn't protected the equality of opportunity is vulnerable to the shift from deontological ethics to ultilitarian ethics. It's easy to see the shift in appeal towards "sacrificing one for the benefit of the many" in the age of super yachts, an ongoing housing crisis, and a "ruling class" that owns rental properties as investments and refuses to promote policy that might see a decline in the value of their holdings.

Maybe today he would have been able to graduate just because he is connected and a member of the global elite class.

Luxury beliefs sound more like a sin to gain reputation.
Oppressor, target, victim vocabulary doesnt belong to any beliefs but to hate.
Also, i dont trust that any belief confer any statut or privilege to anybody, instead, it
confer trust or familarity.
Beliefs is good way to choose people, a kind of selection in fair manner by
deeply understanding the humankind in a way where everybody know where he
become by choosing the desired belief.
I understand that some situation can lead to competition but hate cant be fair
because hater are already biased driven by hate not belief. Even if somebody else
have a opposite belief, the inexistence of his belief doesnt make your belief stronger,
the number of choice available has just been reduced, i call that tyranny.
A key point has to be done between the strength of an belief and how much people
follow/trust the belief. Does 5 eggs are more valuable than 12 steaks?

In the 1990's the Democrat party abandoned the working class for an emphasis on racism, feminism, and global warming. Total emphasis was on the educated and elite classes. This allowed the former democrat Donald Trump to lead a populist movement and gain the White House. Trump talks like the populists. What has gone unnoticed is that the black working class is in the same abandoned state and is starting to notice.

Question to Drs. Peterson and Henderson. Of course the Vietnam was awful, but I wonder, did anyone ever research or think about this:
A million young men (whatever the exact number), mainly lower class and marginal, perhaps were pulled off the streets of some very bad neighborhoods, and given the structure and discipline of boot camp and two years of military service. Was there any positive aspects of this en mass discipline of this cohort of young men?
