Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@piotrchlodnicki5044 says : Here's a perfect example of someone on the left not understanding the positions of people on the right.>> <<@evaldsmarksstrautins131 says : As a schizotype, because im foraign, the seratoniergick urge is what i should consider.>> <<@JCResDoc94 says : this was good. he's a thinker. _JC>> <<@viper-ko4qq says : I'd also like to point out. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he said he's been in office for 30 years. He should resign in shame. Absolutely, you failed. You didn't change anything you couldn't change people's minds around you? Or maybe you did exactly that, and that's why we're in the situation we're in. I'm telling you. I work for a company who delivers fuel to gas stations, and I go all over the state of Washington. I came back because my parents live here. They're getting older and I wanted my children to be exposed to their grandparents, but outside of that knowing what I know now I would move back to Texas. In a heartbeat, I love this place. I love Mount Rainier. It's like the lonely mountain from tolken, but it's not enough.The beauty here is not enough>> <<@viper-ko4qq says : I love Jordan Peterson. I think he's truly a national treasurer. Even though he's from Canada, haha, either way I watched an hour and 14 minutes of this video because of Jordan. That's it. I live in Washington State. I moved in 2009 to fort. Hood, when I join the Army And I came back in 2024 November. It's a f****** nightmare now, nightmare. Nightmare, the left ruins everything they touch. I'm listening to this guy. He speaks out of the side of his mouth. Double talk, in other words, in circles, Jordan is a saint for giving him this platform. I tried to give him a chance, but the proof is in the pudding.And the eating of it>> <<@libertas2636 says : Even though JP tries to push Smith to answer the question about the Left going "too far," Smith dodges it. He never attempts to provide any accountability for his party's uncompromising, radical leadership. The interview becomes a self-serving almost monologue on Smith's mental struggles and what a reasonable guy he is. I agree with the comment below that Peterson must have struggled through the conversation.>> <<@Noticer-in-chief says : are politicians ever not in campaign mode?>> <<@WilliamReinhard-d9x says : My daughter says, "Dad, do you know who Jordan Peterson is?" Of course I do. She said to me in front of her husband "I'm married to Steve (her husband) but if I could, Id divorce him and Marry Jordan Peterson in a heartbeat, he's the smartest most intriguing person I've ever seen!"😂 Then my wife said she would marry Jordan too. 😂Her husband and I just laughed..my daughter is 38... funniest, most random thing she's ever said besides when she was first saying words as a baby girl. You must've made quite an impact on her with your videos. Good that you have a good impact on ppl of all ages. Shes def right on you being a smart man. My wife and I have watched you for a long time.>> <<@carlwoods5256 says : After 40 years in Project Management and a Change Effector... the people who are "disagreeable"... are resistant to the change... have the greatest amount of wisdom about what you are trying to achieve. They've been there, done that, and it didn't work. Many times they know WHY it didnt work, but they never were able (or felt enabled) to tell anyone WHY. Nearly as many times, they actually KNOW how to make it work, if you only listen... they are always my staunchest allies. I can gain years, sometimes decades of experience in a 15 minute conversation with them.>> <<@Renovartio1000 says : This democrat should consider running for president in 2028.>> <<@jellapiep says : Fantastic interview!!!>> <<@dhonda250r says : World record holder = said m'kay 2.3 million times in a discussion.>> <<@NOWAYMANFARY says : Can you please do a interview with Christopher Langan about his thoughts on god.>> <<@conradhailey9866 says : This guy brings up alot of good points I never thought about it I like it exactly the kind of conversations people need to be having bravo both of you>> <<@rlwhite55 says : The main issue for me in the conversations I'm listening to, is that there are only 2 places to stand when it comes to equality & equity. It's a no-win situation. The dichotomy leads us to the seesaw effect; this or that, right or wrong, us or them. I can see something more problem solving; equanimity. Adam speaks of "balance" and that's good if you can only see the world in Black & White, here & there; duality. Coming to equanimity is taking up each person as their needs be. You cannot get to equanimity by giving everyone the same piece of pie when you can see that some only need a small sliver, some need a big sliver and some need nothing. That will bring about the needed balance.>> <<@mrstraighty says : Again, with the typical political response. Our side is really trying to work hard on these things while the other is just blah blah ( insert extremists view here). The American political system is a joke and can probably only be rectified through a revolution? Neither side will work from honest objectivity for the people. They are ALL beholden to lobbyists, party agenda, and personal power. This man is no different. He keeps referring to the far left as extreme and the right is entirely extreme.>> <<@trailblazer632 says : I like his idea on discussion but i am so tirednof hearjng that the us is a democracy. Its a constitutional republic not a democracy>> <<@ChicCanyon says : Well...he's certainly a politician>> <<@moogmooglol says : So if I listened right he's saying the left goes too far when it focuses on making broad claims about all of society in order to justify actions that are inappropriate on an individual level. So the left goes too far when it uses societal imbalance as an excuse to do immoral things? So the left goes too far in a governmental context is if laws and rulings regarding crimes committed is swayed by the who's on what moral high ground based on claims of societal imbalances, some crimes being completely ignored based on those societal claims? So what's happening now?>> <<@youtubeps5476 says : M'kay>> <<@willywill8745 says : Adam Smith said "balance" a lot, but he's voted 100% with the leftist agenda.>> <<@michaelissa7361 says : When does the left go too far? I find it interesting that this question seems so hard to tackle by politicians and it can speak volumes to the catering of misguided or pathological constituents. I want to think that at least part of the answer is obvious to most moderates, as It seems to me that the left goes too far in exactly the same way as the right goes too far: When there is engagement in mortal threats & violence, attacks on/or canceling free speech, and willingness to sacrifice human rights (others or even your own) to achieve your goals (the ends justify the means). Neither side wants to admit how much in common they truly have as it would begin to dissolve the triggers of their "righteous" argument, and the inspiration to vote in their direction would dwindle.>> <<@therealkylewood says : Just another white male politician who hates white people 😂>> <<@marshallnoise3557 says : Two things: the man is a trope factory and he definitely is not living up to his Scottish name sake.>> <<@joeldanielmarshall says : I thought he was taking to the dude who wrote ‘wealth of nations’ … oh well>> <<@ruthwilliams9853 says : Thank you>> <<@alexandermayer2026 says : Jordan, you are barking up the wrong tree. You are aware of the nature of the mind; you are aware of the existence of a source of absolute truth; you come to the table with the understanding of the need for a rational worldview. Our friend here, constantly says he takes a more practical view. He consciously is staying on ground level; he believes that unguided ground folk can resolve issues that arise from flawed worldviews. Consequently, he holds the progressive view, i.e. that man is god. The frightening reality is that he believes he is god. Just like the childish squabbling of Zeus and the others, he is juvenile, not recognizing that even those gods had limitations. Having "solved" his own issues, he now believes he will solve the issues. He is the picture of potential authoritarianism. Scary guy.>> <<@MilitaryDog. says : The first red flag I noticed is at 37:00. He’s been “representing” the same area for 27 years but the people there STILL have the same problems. Homelessness Drug abuse Crime And the houses are too expensive. I wonder if he has investments in real estate 🤔 Those problems are all connected and he hasn’t been able to figure it out in 27 years? It looks like he wants those problems. He probably profits from having those problems. He needs to be fired if he hasn’t been able to figure this out in 27 years 🤦‍♂️>> <<@fifibibi3213 says : How many times have you mentioned the word murder? 688 times How many times have you mentioned the word war? 352 times How many times was the word shedding mentioned? 48 times How many times did he mention the command "kill"? 38 times How many times did you mention the word dead? 77 times Try it yourself in the Christian book researcher✔✔✔✔✔>> <<@fifibibi3213 says : Christians and their priests are never embarrassed about not understanding their religion and their beliefs: they simply believe - far from their interpretation - that they are sacred divine secrets!! Doctrines that contradict logic and conflict with reason were made by Christian clerics sacred secrets There is a long list of these secrets: including The sacrament of baptism, the sacrament of confirmation, the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, the sacrament of repentance and confession to the priest, the sacrament of anointing, the sacrament of marriage, the sacrament of priesthood, the sacrament of the truths of faith, the sacrament of crucifixion, the sacrament of the Trinity, the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. The secret of resurrection, the secret of atonement. The secret of sin. The mystery of theology. The secret of humanity, the secret of incarnation Thus, every question for which the men of the Church cannot find an answer is referred to the list of heavenly secrets and divine mysteries: It is necessary, necessary, and expected for every Christian to believe in everything and anything that the Church decides... If he does not understand anything and asks for clarification or clarification, he is told: Shut your mind, for this is one of the divine secrets that is not appropriate or permissible to ask about or research into!!>> <<@metasebiyakebede3450 says : I know nothing on the politics of USA but why is this conversation more on psychology than politics?!!>> <<@Xandil says : Smith lost me the second he tried to justify DEI Marxist bullshit.>> <<@bigsexymanbear1950 says : 59:32 Does he know that almost all of those Klansmen and southern racists were Democrats? Like, that's y'all, not rightwing extremists.>> <<@oliverbrinker8730 says : Its hilarious to me that this conversation ended on dr peterson being hopeful that long term conversations can now be accessed by anyone given that the restrictions by broadcast tv have been liften ... ... only for it to be cut off right after, because if you dont pay for this abo you cant watch it haha. no hate btw just a funny observation, and i belive that dr peterson, if he had the means to change it would opt for a fully free podcast>> <<@leonlopetkiewicz5162 says : They blocked my comment, so I'm outta here, this dudes a turd....>> <<@KJC.91 says : "When does the left go too far?" Rephrased into "What is the left doing wrong?" after a few minutes of dancing around the point. That was 1 of many wiggly weasel answers Adam gave. Thank You Jordan, You've exposed another snake as such.>> <<@tabenningshoff says : Listened to it on Spotify and he sounds arrogant and said to many times 'okay'.>> <<@heathmckenzie6875 says : What a legitimate waste of time. Not a good faith conversation by Adam Smith, clearly filtering every singe word as to not lose a single possibe vote at the expense of truth and honesty. Shame.>> <<@JohnChampagne says : The political Left goes too far when they use government power to initiate force against peaceful people. This is also the point where the Right goes too far. We do not have moral authority to initiate force against our neighbors. We do not gain this moral authority if we are able to convince half of the population to vote in favor of our action. (Citizens don't have this moral authority, and they lack moral standing to delegate such authority to government.) There is a problem. Government relies on forced taxation to function. We could reduce the moral affront by allowing people to decide where their tax money goes, provided that they support programs / services that most people agree provide benefit to society. No coerced support of what are perceived to be corrupt or counterproductive programs. The money will go to what is perceived by most people to be helpful. (That means less waste of public funds, so potentially lower taxes or more benefit from government action, or both.)>> <<@cryptoconvergence says : people dont understand other people not because they DONT talk about their differences, but bc they ONLY talk about their similarities, which, at the end of the day, will necessarily lead to a common demonitator of human struggle and thus victim olympics among the populace. Using your struggle as a weapon instead of strengthening yourself under the burden IS the luciferian error, no?>> <<@AlFreeman-kr9qe says : Fascinating to understand the indoctrination of the Left. Adam is a perfect example. Always deflect with "but the Republicans also.." "we both need to do better". I wonder how often Adam flogs himself for the sins of his whiteness? This is a perfect product of the 60s " I hate America". Probably lives in a white gated community because he is so inclusive. I wish JP asked him what is a woman.>> <<@paulborowski591 says : Smith is nothing but dreams...without a single prescription.>> <<@paulborowski591 says : Sometimes i wish JBP was more confrontational. Im not that guy...so, i get it, but this guy was contradicting himself so much, it would've been nice to see him called out. For example: "We shouldn't be focusing on our race as a difference between us. " Two minutes after saying, " If you're Black in America...you've had a different experience than a White person growing up in America. ">> <<@dominicansolx says : Well, I never thought Mr. Peterson would invite Mr. Mackey from South Park. He is saying OKAY at every end of a sentence. But what is more unsettling is that he is extremely disingenuous. Every time a hard question is thrown at him or a comment is made showing the more pressing radical issues of the left, he starts to defend them to a degree while trying to look like he is being polite and agreeing with you while not. This was painful to hear.>> <<@chrism3839 says : Claims not to hold the same views as the far left, proceeds to support all the talking points of the far left and change the topic any time a tough issue is brought up by JP. The only difference I see between him and the far left is he is actually willing to talk about his views. More of the same...>> <<@OneMoTry says : This guy’s shtick is: (1) The idea that racism, bigotry, and discrimination isn’t a significant problem is a nonstarter. (2) My approach is to not get caught up in the weeds on these issues and to just look at ways we can solve the problem. I know the distinguished gentleman from (Washington, was it?) is very pragmatic and all, but then again, one always is when assuming the very thing that you need to prove. 🤷🏼‍♂️>> <<@iamMarianneMiettinen says : Outstanding! Great episode, and respect for Adam Smith's 1) balance & engage attitude 2) honesty about his anxiety and challenge. Jordan Peterson's comments are much more valuable when they are challenged, and Smith was able to do so in a friendly way.>> <<@katioconnor5295 says : Like many "boomers" born&raised in Washington State, I've witnessed our beautiful State go from being completely ignored by the rest of USA to being run over by ignorant "granola crunchers" (thats a 70s term) who have created nothing but chaos, High taxes, environmental nightmares and now the 3rd worst state for public education k-12... And the highest minimum wage in the US, soon to hit 17.00 hrly. I've moved around a bit over the last 20 years, but always come Home to my PNW..... Todays Seattle, is not even close to my birth place 64 yrs ago and honestly started its decline in the 80s when the first wave of Californians started to arrive. Term limits need to be applied to every political position on both State and Federal levels. I hope he makes enough $$ from his book sales to retire from his political position, as he not once held his party accountable for the recent distruction of Seattle and thats not ok with me...>> <<@32879 says : Representatives shouldn't be in office for that long because they lose "the people touch" they leave in different reality, two periods like the presidency is enough. I think they'll do better job.>> <<@tomranum6 says : The guest certainly likes the word OK.>>
