From one extreme to another. Hard core communism to Texas right wing christianity. Wonder if he has the self insight to question his urge towards extremes and why he is so talented at thriving in both. Is it disdain of boredom.

Jack Barsky had never been a spy. And I'm surprised Peterson doesn't see through it (or maybe he does, I'm at the beginning of the video.) Who knows maybe Peterson is more interested in the money Youtube videos (and related stuff) make. Jack Barsky is smart, has a great imagination [due to mental issues and/or pure mental ability] but I personally I am sure of one thing, he has never been a spy and his stories are just "stories" [in the context of being a spy.] It's very obvious I don't know how people miss it (I'm surprised about Peterson if he really fell for it)

How’s his accent, can someone say realistically?
@2011BIRR Says:
There were curators. And also snitches, informers. People called them "stukach", or "stookach". Translates like a "knocker". Comsomol leaders in all schools, universities, institutions. And in military. Nobody talked about recrutement. More like prompting towards cooperation and help.

funny to hear how primitive the army / the kgb was just 40 or so years ago... 3 clear reasons: 1. the accent of this guy is absolutely german, any european could hear that in a minute. trying to pretend he was american was really a bad idea. 2. entrytest1: "walking around in west berlin without pooping your pants" 3. second entry test: ringing the bell and befriending a neighbor...

In the final analysis he lost. Russia (Soviet Union) collapsed. I remember reading Das Kapital and Communist Manifesto. Pure rubbish, my initial reaction was that it would never work in the long run.

Thank you for another interesting conversation Dr Peterson and Mr Barsky.
@tenno1981 Says:
I wonder if he donated some of his 10k dollar prize to the charity? Or was this love for the oppressed and downtrodden purely theoretical and abstract. He experienced no love from concrete, particular people. But loved the abstract constructs as "humanity". As a person who grew up in a socialist country I would also ask him about the details of daily life. He said everyone was poor. But didn't add that some of the poor were having quite bearable lifes while others worked practically speaking as half slaves in a regime similar to forced labour camps. Or even literally in camps, gulags, prisons. Communist countries put big pressure on industrial growth. And forced workers and technicians and engineers to give their best by terror.

What a great and enriching conversation! The content is simply fascinating. Many blessings to both!

He abandoned his German family. Wife and Child
Just saying, he never seems to talk about that. And any regrets. Yes caught in middle.
@WeTheLittlePeople Says:
Jack Barsky proclaims the KGB never operated ANY subversion programs in the USA. This is countering 5 other KGB agents who wrote they did... Yuri Bezmenov, Stanislav Lunev, Oleg Kalugin, Vasili Mitrokhin and Anatoliy Golitsn... so it looks like he is making money defending progressive liberalism from their Soviet KGB roots.

The great Soviet dream was to become an elite and leave the USSR. It’s more of an animal desire to leave the USSR than a moral dilemma. All moral dilemmas for the inhabitants of the land of lies are just toys.
@davidcookmfs6950 Says:
His accent is very exaggerated. When he was interviewed by 60 Minutes in 2015, it was most noteworthy that he spoke English with an American accent and did not sound German at all, which was why he was selected by the Stassi/KGB to go to the US. He also seemed absolutely apolitical.
@DogsRule111 Says:
So good to see Jordan leaning back and letting this man speak without interruption. Exceptional interview.
@herbsHA Says:
Dr. Jordan Peterson, I come from East Germany, where I escaped. Your interview with Mr Barsky made me realize that only certain people have accepted becoming a spy. Mr. Barsky did this to further his career, thereby selling out any moral values. Claiming that he was not aware of what was happening around him and, at the same time, talking about his highly developed intelligence is contradictory. Why did he say yes? and I said no, despite what they offered me. The differences are moral standards. I was willing to take the risk by saying no.

I used to be very inspired by your @JordanBPeterson but It seems you are becoming or thinking you are some sort of Chosen One or a Messiah!
You are dividing force towards the world is very worrying
You seem to know it all, but let me tell you even you so sophisticated as you seem to be is full blossom, you also have a evil spirit and you should know that as a psychologist, but I just think you gone complete mad with the rest of the world. You will change nothing than divide even more and as the rest of this pack in politics, society etc.
I applaud that you invite me to talk to you and I will tell you about the true divine
