Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@alexanderfarthing69 says : Thank you - very good, but I am going to push back on the "you don’t choose your children" part. We are probably going to be able to have designer babies at some point. Also, I wonder if it would be possible to be conservative if we lived in a jobless to society.>> <<@dennisobrien3133 says : In this political climate where our situation seems at risk for totalitarianism it strikes me funny we are having this discussion? How bout these The five key things here is the 1.de-tethering from Europe. 2.the meme coin $Trump-This acts like a slush fund where you can dump money into his coin and he directly benefits from it. It has bribery written all over it. 3.Threatening to impeach judges-some members of Congress and Elon Musk are calling for impeachment of judges. If we begin impeaching judges cause we don’t like their rulings we have lost our only remaining check. If this falls the president has all the power and our constitution is defunct. 4.Tariffs - Allows for Trump to pick and choose winners. He can grant dispensations where he desires, significantly increasing his power and authority. 5. executive order 14215 - “Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies,” undermines the foundational principle of separation of powers by extending presidential control over independent regulatory agencies. By mandating that these agencies submit all significant regulatory actions for presidential review and adhere to legal interpretations issued by the president or the attorney general,the order compromises their intended autonomy. This consolidation of power within the executive branch diminishes the system of checks and balances, potentially leading to unchecked executive actions and reduced government transparency.>> <<@dennisobrien3133 says : I think humility in all its iterations is a good policy. I am not inclined to cheer or boo though I have my views. Jordan looks pale and low energy. Stay strong everyone as these days weigh on some like stone.>> <<@brandonlee3381 says : ❤🎉😮😊😊>> <<@JeffGruber says : Studer box, hard to follow>> <<@richardm5884 says : The matter of honoring one's parents is something which I can use.>> <<@vanillaandy8814 says : I agree that civil war is possibly on the horizon, but to avoid it the left demands ridiculous economic policies, open borders and the subsequent dilution of American culture, the active grooming of our kids into perverse sexual deviance, DEI, and the basic corruption of our society.>> <<@SifuPaul-Martialmindmastery says : Actually I am a bit upset with Dr. Jordan Peterson.... Sir, where were you when I was in my twenties, or even thirties and early forties...? Another I insightful, thought-provoking, intelligent, educational, and inspiring dialogue. Thank you. 🙏🏻>> <<@SifuPaul-Martialmindmastery says : Amazing dialogue. Brilliant.>> <<@КоролёвНиколай-э5п says : Jordan still can’t understand that Marxism is based on bible and on social doctrine in it. Marxism is a bible for Industrial Age.>> <<@Mark_Cole_1 says : Great discussion. My only criticism is that Peterson, again, interrupts his guest far too frequently.>> <<@Roseberrylove says : Love this suit.>> <<@b.alexanderjohnstone9774 says : He doesn’t speak very fluently but what a brilliant book he's written.>> <<@Beelzebubba1983 says : I love these videos, i live a pretty isolated life, unable to work full time due to my disability and single guy living alone. Due to this i get depressed sometimes just from being alone, feeling way less than what could be. That said, Dr Peterson you are an uplifting and hopeful voice in my life that i really didnt know i needed so badly. Now i get up at 4 am (thanks Jocko) i do what workout and stretching i can and go to work at 6 delivering papers. Man its not much but getting up, cleaning my room, and doing something has actually saved my life. I did not know what to do after i broke my back and neck 3 years ago. I fell into such deep depression, i felt like my life was over. Nowadays with exercise and the occasional cannabis along with my daily medications i can get up and work again. Im getting better. Thank for being there, sharing your lectures (i love the maps of meaning lectures) and your love for people. You really are a great person that we desperately need right now. God bless❤>> <<@shaedailey5543 says : As a younger millennial, I can say that I'm grateful to have escaped the woke culture. I was suckered into it in my 20s as someone that had no purpose and had somewhat tyrannical parents. I attended the protest against the Dakota access pipeline and after that is when I think I started to reflect on what it is a actually believe in and if it's credible, in the sense that if it even added up. "What comes after the revolution" INDEED. I began to think more about that and started to realize that it would be something worse. I think the left goes too far when it starts acting hyper moralistic and projecting shame onto others. I still care about human rights and the planet and equality. But equality of opportunity. Other than that though I've embraced my conservative side. I just want good opportunities and to be left the hell alone lol. It's truly scary how when the left starts going too far, they start to create something that's not only exactly what they are against, but an even more terrifying and tyrannical version of it. The snake eating itself. I don't believe it will ever succeed in the United States. But it can and certainly has caused a lot of damage. I hope this wokeism ends soon and we can get back on track and create a sense of camaraderie between the left and right. Maybe that would give us better political candidates.>> <<@durger8074 says : The West has lost. Give up America>> <<@polesouth-ey5qq says : If the jewish worldview and tradition is so wise and effdctive, how do you explain the historg of the jews. Right up to today?>> <<@cristy0716 says : Sorry but he’s wrong about God needing us, He has the power to do whatever He wants, He CHOSE to give us free will.>> <<@cristy0716 says : What I’ve always wanted for my kids was not to necessarily be happy, but to do what’s right no matter what. Sometimes that doesn’t make you happy.>> <<@thesmiths2675 says : Wait a minute. This guy's theology is totally wrong. God does not need us to make a perfect world. He allows us to affect it with our free will then cleans up our mess because he loves us, just not without there being a reckoning.>> <<@sharonchiang3750 says : God IS able to "fix" the word but not while giving people"free will". If people would live like Jesus the world would be fixed. Put simply.>> <<@lonewolf18650 says : Incentive>> <<@PrayingForMeteors says : The brief mention at around 23:45 regarding ethnic identity is key in understanding why we're seeing growing instability in America and the West. Namely, that the ethnic demographic shifts which have occurred/are occurring in nations like France, Germany, England, and America are beginning to morph into social and cultural changes—and, on the whole, they're not positive ones. Parallel societies never mesh well together, and often come into conflict of some kind. In addition, the cultural, social, and ethical nature of a people lasts only for as long as those people do. You can call someone an "Afro-Saxon" or a "Parisian-Pakistani" all you like, and claim that they're "just as British/French/etc. as the native-born." But, if those people now seek to fundamentally change or destroy the cultural and social institutions and norms of the original peoples, all those things are is a name, a descriptor, not an actual cohesive, coherent national identity that can weather the occasional strains to the fabric of civilization (i.e. war, natural disasters, etc.). Dark times are ahead. And a mere return to conservative nationalism, like that which Dr. Hazony subscribes to, will not be the bulwark people believe it will be.>> <<@maifisprasla3113 says : Lol, i read the title as Trany in Disguise - rebranding Marxism>> <<@cnlbenmc says : The problem is that we no longer have a "Loyal Opposition" but a disloyal if not outright treasonous one...>> <<@Wrecktalbeads says : I appreciate the discussion. It burdens me deeply to know I’m a gay woman and that inherently people group me in with the far left. There are so many gay adults that just want to function like a ‘normal’ person in this country. With patriotism and manners. We are not all the same nor here to destroy the moral fabric of the US.>> <<@ottifantiwaalkes9289 says : I have a question for Jordan Peterson. Why is most people's God as well as there devil seen as beeing male?>> <<@3DadsBoys says : Both the Canadian and the US left are working hard toward civil war. They want to find anyway they can destroy democracy and capitalism.>> <<@truthmatters5209 says : The media are qiuck to blame the 'far right' for everything, often without any evidence, but never raise concerns about the far left; despite the misery caused by Communists in Russia, China and Cambodia only last century. Marxist ideas are still actively promoted in UK Universities, while recent history is being quietly revised. How many young people know that between 1975 and 1979 over 1.5 million Cambodians died at the hands of the Kymer Rouge led by a left wing psychopath who learned about Marxism while studying at University in Paris in 1950's?>> <<@thiccactus says : During their time as the cultural hedgemon, the liberals systematically destroyed every institution in America, from religion, to jobs, all to benefit the rich. It's no surprise people today, especially younger ones, are skeptical of it at best.>> <<@zombiesl4yer169 says : I met Yoram Hazony. I was good friends with his son. Amazing family!>> <<@noturpalbro says : The hard adherence and tunnel vision of this guy’s Judaism is intellectually icky, but the overall interview was great. Kudos to JP and thanks for the morsels of understanding from the guest.>> <<@highwildplacesphotography says : In America today, "conservatives" believe in nonsense and conspiracy theories, like Trump's Big Dumb Lie about a "stolen election". They attack teachers, election workers, immigrants, gay folks, and others. They believe that middle of the road Democrats are "Marxists" who "hate America". And, increasingly, they are threatening political violence on anyone who opposes them. Mitt Romney is spending $5000 per week on security for himself and his family...and the threats he is worried about come directly from MAGA, not "the Left". It is hard to discuss real-world issues, with people who are so deluded, so angry, and so wrong.>> <<@nathanholmes7183 says : Hamilton was the worst, we live in his world today modeled after the British system we separated ourselves from. American Imperialism financed by a centralized banking system. The Anti-federalists (Jefferson, Madison, George Mason, Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, Samual Adams and many others) were right, and almost prophetically predicted the situation we live in today. We should try to reign in an broker governmental power among the states and counties to attempt to prevent there from being a concentration that corrupts decent people or that can be usurped by evil people. Even if such corruption or usurpation occurs at a more localized level then there is atleast the option of moving to a different state, county, or community. But with one government that rules in all aspects and issues over all of America direct, the opportunity for escape is near nonexistent. There is no virtue, transparency or connection between representatives and represented. The aggregation of the electorate makes it extremely difficult to alter the government or hold it accountable. Statistically our votes have little value. If someone buys 5 lottery tickets, they have a higher chance of winning the lottery than the statistical value of their vote in a presidential election. That is dismal. With such a concentration of power only the most disvirtous people will achieve government office.>> <<@Ads-f5u says : When you let the committee of 300 take the Bibles out of your schools is the moment you lost your country>> <<@ravindramehta9087 says : I believe that unfortunately thanks to the technology that people have much higher expectation from each other and in raising children and that’s one of the biggest fears that men and women don’t want to take that responsibility and now they have other options as well. And, of course, women have been exploited generation after generation until finally they realize that they can get out of the hole.>> <<@ravindramehta9087 says : God knows We are living in an imperfect world.. but now, due to the improvement in at their social economic front, women don’t want to be controlled by their men. This has occurred traditionally over thousands of years .Finally women feel that they have got some freedom in their lives.>> <<@orions221 says : Two people who don’t understand Marxism discuss whether a nebulous concept of “wokeness” which no one can define is Marxist>> <<@Tommy-x7h says : I don't think they are disguising it very well...>> <<@6teezkid says : When Dr. Lazony gave an example of how the politicians even honored each other in their debates (no matter if there was animosity between them)…they also knew, if one of them dishonored or disrespected the other, of course they knew the audience would have been completely aghast at some inappropriate outburst or name-calling. This shows that that’s how society set up our social contract for 200 decades. We no longer have that desired harmony. The neo-Marxists were continuing what they always do and that’s to create chaos. America was a tough nut to crack and the Marxists have been lurking around for decades. They knew they had to “kill off the society from within” and the “do your own thing” took hold strongly in the 60’s. Our social norms that had kept us strong were breaking as our wealth grew. The me, me, me generation grew through the 60’s and 70’s until of 1980’s was known as “The Decadent Decade”. The 60’s had teed it all up and by the time the 1990’s came around, the corruption in DC was quietly building more & more.>> <<@redtobertshateshandles says : Marxists don't want a civil war. They want a sneaky take over. They're achieving it.>> <<@jmeden says : Dr. Peterson, why don’t you debate someone like GA Cohen? He is a scholar who actually understands Marx, and on that basis you could be made to see why modern woke ideology has much less in common with Marxism than you deeply (and incorrectly) believe.>> <<@DavidBrown-uc4yv says : Politics?! Have you examined society at large? When the wise and noble Baby Boomers, (also the Proto-Boomers and Post Boomers to some degree), decided to throw out the old and in with the new, however with no “new” as a replacement, the beginning and inevitable undoing of any moral code, including how people treat one another, was set in stone, replaced by Moral Relativism. We knew better than those squares, our parents and grandparents generation. Worse, we were so blind to consequences, Baby Boomers did not even conceive we were throwing out the old, nor did we believe in Relativism, philosophically. Thus we disbelieved it would become the replacement code. The labels were affixed after the deeds and consequences, after which we began to want to make sense of the mess. The campus radical Neo-Marxists grew up, gained power and position, however, they came into power and definition later; they confiscated the vacuum left by the ubiquitous “whatever” attitude. Boomers were ignorant to consequences, an ignorance founded on prosperity and faith — simply put, belief and disbelief. Alarms, warnings and unfolding evidence could be met with disbelief; problem solved. An “It is No Big Deal” life philosophy could be installed by merely believing it. Does that sound like a familiar accusation. of Baby Boomers directed toward anyone born later, against Gen x and Gen Z; from whom do you think they learned. The Baby Boomer generation and our self-delusion, founded on and funded by the good times, came back home, and the baby chicks growing up in our constructed society was and is their classroom. What did we think the small children would become reared in our new Petrie dish?>> <<@clairebear175 says : I only just went back to school this September. I only found out about Marxism yesterday. Genuine question- why are they talking about Marxism as if it’s something people want? Like an agenda. It seems to me that it’s just a prediction of what happens when the ‘higherarchy of social construct’ becomes so corrupt and greedy that the general population are unable to meet their basic needs and are left with no option but to revolt. Everyone knows we need some kind of law & order- but if the higherarchy acted right- Marxist theory would be nothing more than a warning of what not to do. How can you follow the rules of the higherarchy when you don’t respect them? And for good reason. The main thing that’s changed about Marxist theory is that media can’t be used to sway public opinion anymore- it’s being used to show us how corrupt everything is. Does the whole thing really need to self combust rather than regulating the people at the top of the pile that have gone power/money mad?>> <<@aneash482 says : Maybe it’s a political reality in the western sphere, but it’s not in China. Communist party of China actually does not encourage such wokesim, actually most of the time, the media in China mock wokeism in the West. In China, it’s a Confucian ideology(regarded as centrist because it promotes moderation of everything, but often considered as conservative on today’s political spectrum) disguised as a Marxist authority.>> <<@orjanolsson9577 says : Karl Marx is one of the foremost economists in existence and his analysis of capitalism is brilliant. That he should stand for woke is ridiculous. He stated that capitalism is inhumane and his desire was to break the class society of capitalism and create a better society for all.>> <<@johnburnett3942 says : Wokeness is only in English speaking countries. No wokeness in France, Italy or Greece. Never in Russia China or north Korea. So is it an English problem.>> <<@cheflev9884 says : My wife and I recently had a child. It became immediately abundantly clear how much we needed family to help raise the child and to guide us to be better parents. It brought my family together more than anything ever has. It also made it obvious how individual atomization has been profoundly destructive to modern society. I can’t begin to explain how much my perspective has shifted over the years. I still am a staunch classic liberal idealist, and my skepticism regarding conservatives has evolved over the years. It went from vitriol in my early teens, to skepticism in my late teens, to neutrality in my early 20s, to sympathy during the trump years. Now as a parent I am convinced that it’s an essential component of a functioning family and by extension society. Liberalism and all great ideas, institutions, norms and discoveries cannot exist without a preserving impulse. The greatest values of conservatism are its pragmatism, preservation of tradition, communal focus, and the communication of a cultural historical lineage.>> <<@byronkerby6897 says : One of the many benefits of honoring our parents is that we will be honored by our own children, as they have seen it modeled by us. It was God's idea in the first place, so our obedience will be rewarded. I agree that we should find a way to honor and respect everyone, and that it is a form of grace that we give people, just as God has. I also believe that sometimes it is necessary to distance ourselves from an abusive parent, but we can still honor them by refusing to tell everyone how awful they are.>> <<@rekindlefitness says : Reading Dr. Hazony's book 'Conservatism: A Rediscovery' now. It's simply brilliant.>>
