Keep up the great work :)

My heart and my admiration goes out to you.

Its hard, but the greatest changes come from within. You should be really proud of yourself..

Now set yourself the task of saying hello or good morning to someone outside each day. Your doing great.

May the Lord bless you, and may the Lord keep you. Heaven rejoices in your return.

Grace

@Fred IV without grace, we have nothing.

What a great thing to hear. A truly great man. I hope you’re doing well Noel. God bless.

God bless you Noel. There is hope. NEVER give up.

I believe, it is because he has learned how to hold presence in the midst of madness.

It is beautiful indeed to see him in such tip top shape. I’m looking forward to his appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast on January 24, 2022 as well.

Who is the lady wearing a yellow vest? His daughter!

@Julia Sturgman google exists - that is evidently not his daughter. Judging by the fact they're wearing a yellow vest and were holding the microphone early in the talk it's clear they're some kind of event organiser/administrator.

I can believe it. Without wishing to presume your age, I could have really used him thirty years ago.

Semper Fidelis.

Us moment... voluntary suffering was the answer I found out after my first suicide attempt. Well I'm optimistic about the future.

@TheMASDrummer not all of us should think then

Yeah buddy. Choose your battles. Some are worth fighting. But not most.

@Whiskey Rebellion the hill to die on is rapidly approaching but its never between friends or family its always what the state is trying to coerce and now force you to do

@awake and watching One hundred percent sir.

May I suggest you introspect as to what were you losing if you weren't winning? Take 2 steps back on what you were losing and evaluate this.

@Alma Guapa - Sailboat live aboard epiphany Not everything is a game.

I'm always glad to see him back up and at it. Between his history of the combo of booze and depression and his recent history of unpredictable fame driving him to the brink, that's a man unnaturally aged 10-20 years. For most people, they never figure out how to get their health back when it takes hits like that.

Well said! Blessings from Belfast.

It gets me most of the time how sincere and close to his heart and mind JBP celebrates his answers, and that last one got me good as well.

Really? I find him a pompous grifter...

@nick h - how so?

Less respect for Cambridge overriding the democratic process and for allowing madness to rule in the first place. Thank goodness 'stoop' is off soon.

I think the Cambridge Union is a separate organization to the University, or any individual College or Department of the University - but am not sure how exactly the Union functions.

@Alan Munch the Union is independent from the University administration, and is student-run. It was the University, not the Union, which disinvited Peterson from a visiting fellowship a couple of years ago. He is now back in Cambridge, having been invited by an academic in a private capacity.

Yours is The Single Best Comment I read here On This Page. Never Ever Quit and Godspeed!

Tender hearted? That malicious narcissist ran away when his wife was diagnosed with cancer.

Tender is right... too self absorbed. I still cannot understand why millions like his talks filled with platitudes and obvious simplistic things, which he extrapolates it into way too much.

@Hans-Joachim Bierwirth ran away? In what way? Being stuck in hospital? lol ok

@Alistair Stewart He was not stuck. He has chosen to flee and his excuse was his drug addiction and the attempt to even flee from the withdrawal symptoms into an induced coma. If he was a man he wood have faced the challenge.

The girl in the yellow vest looks pretty miserable, especially around the 49-50 minute mark! 😂

Would have been nice if they had all shown the same respect!

@Paul Drums haha why the vest too, maybe she was volunteering in the parking lot before hand lmao

@Rachel Geyer I found her so distracting...looking at her watch, looking at her phone, checking her nails, looking bored.... was she chewing gum too! I wonder if she took anything away with her from what Jordan said.

@Paul Drums How typical the girl on the left of JP sitting there as if the actual happening in the auditorium had absolutely nothing to do with her existence … here and then grabbing her handy or looking at her wristwatch. As JP would say: REALLY WHAT? But: …it’s against the right of privacy of the girl to lengthily show her in the camera-framing without her consent

Great post.

Yes.

"domicile"

I think you're right. His words and works being so popular, among men in particular, show a void. There must be a desire for that advice, energy and structure. He has had a Thor like rise to power among the "intellectual dark web".

Doesn't sound like you're the guy he's talking to. But if you had self awareness you would know that, so maybe you are.

@Deep State we all need a little motivation sometimes. 😄

@Deep State He helps with resentment an awful lot too, which seems to be something you suffer from by the looks of it

I find his words inspire me to action, things I've been meaning to do for a while got completed yesterday.

@phasespace 💯❣️

Not at all, the world needs Christ not JP and his psycho babble.

@Rob Marshall Hello Rob. The world does need JC. But, what do you have against JP? THANKS!

Definitely, Im from the Philippines

Canada showed no respect for him , trying to fire him from his loved teaching job . He just resigned from that darn so called University spending more time in Nashville, USA. Lecturing ,writing books . Love you Dr Peterson

@ruru Damn, how does stuff like this happen. Why do people not get outraged and protest against this censorship of everything they deem unfit for other people to hear or watch. Feels like North-Korea IMO. Even here in The Netherlands.

And he has allowed that so much more, since his illness but also, because he feels the love from people and so feels safe.

Was this recent?

@Highland_Bear Yea it was on Wednesday

@Taran Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Amazing man, what was your question?

@Antunes, I think the last question on parenting.

Ngl, i was pleasantly surprised by that song

I think that's how serenade works.

Same in Hinduism & other Indian traditions

Beautiful comment.

Worship music is supposed to be focused on the Creator, not His creation.

Thanks mate.

@phasespace what do you find objectionable about his typical message of "be a responsible human?" To me, Dr. Peterson seems publicly transparent and squarely aimed at bettering the lives of others through what the OP referred to as sovereignty.

@phasespace I feel sorry for you, truly.

I always regret that I never met Terence McKenna so it’s nice to live in a time when you can listen to a great speaker

He is a popular self-help guru. And a conservative culture-war warrior. Nothing more. No need to venerate him.

@Steven 8:15

@Steven Who are you to say that?

I just hope that he at least once came to Brazil. I would be a dream to go see him on tour.

Great, great question friend, thank you! As a JP admirer, and dad to two boys, can fully concur with JP’s answer. Best of luck!

That's awesome. I'm going to assume you have a baby on the way. If so, huge congratulations to you, my friend

@Felix Enemuo Thanks so much! Baby arrived a few days ago and it's a girl! :)

@Siddhartha Verma Woop! Woop! Congratulations to you! So happy. Wishing you the absolute best. Regards to the mum as well. I'm so happy for you guys

@Felix Enemuo Thanks so much, my friend!

Time stamp?

24:15

Practice thinking one positive thing about yourself everyday.Just one actual real positive thing about you.Accentuate this with all your willpower and this effect will defend you from self criticism.Sometimes just this defence is enough to get us through.We don't have to run marathons or cure the worlds problems,we just have to do enough and no more than that.I can relate to your personal loss as my Mother passed away just 18 days ago and watching content like JP is comforting me.Sorry for your loss and good luck.

@ken adams you should be mighty proud of yourself man that's some phenomenal work

Thanks for writing this. Your words helped me.

@Rhonda you're very welcome.

@kofiBean I feel proud and I'm gonna remember this moment whenever I have any difficulty.have a good day.

He’s on the brink and will have another breakdown if he continues on this self-promotional treadmill and the ‘enterprise’ as he calls it. As someone older than him and who has been through all the vicissitudes of life: failure; death; illness - I really do think he needs to give it a rest for his own good - it’s not going to end well. It’s a pity that he was given a platform to just spout rather than have some good old adversarial debate. This whole thing was so anodyne but hey - that’s free speech for you. I find it amusing the way he talks about parenting - has he watched videos of his daughter’s comments and behaviour...

Right. That's why he's selling statues of himself. 😂

@phasespace not true. But there are now Saint Fauci candles one can buy

@phasespace Don't forget "the Jordan Peterson signed" $2.000 rug/carpet.

"Pretty good for a magical super-nazi"!

I thought he is Canadian, and I also detect an Irishman in his reering when I hear him distribute (in words) seeds for healthy social living. Any "magic" mystifying is a mixture of focused effort.

@Art koinis yes he's Canadian. From western Canada, the province of Alberta. I'm in Saskatchewan (province beside it). It's mostly conservatives.

Are t his exodus lectures available on youtube

@N G No. He was going to give them at Cambridge but was disinvited over something political, unfortunately.

Start exposing yourself to things that matter and good things, you will find out the world is not as bad as you put it ;)

@heladar I choose to live with as much positivity as possible for me. Thank you for your reply. Blessings to you and all those you love, from Belfast.

he says that ancient people painted DNA molecules. 😂

Mitthenstein Like the hundreds of credible and esteemed intellectuals that support peterson and his works? You mean those kinds of educated people? or the kind that take 1 political science class in college and think they know better than peterson with decades of experience, dozens of peer reviewed scientific papers and much of the intellectual community by his side.

Mitthenstein even if thats true, one person vs the many many great scientists and great psychologists that are on his podcast and the countless universities hes invited to. saying hes stupid and not a good professor is just so blind that it makes me sad for you. its like you made your own echo chamber for yourself. he wouldnt have the multiple prestigious teaching awards and such high regard in his intellectual community if he was a “pseudo-intellectual”

I grew up Catholic and remain Catholic for the strengths it brings. We can save not only ourselves, but through Cambridge surviving this cultural war we will also save Catholicism! Bless o7

ppl dont read

@Roshe Im guessing you heard that from a dishonest twitter SJW. In reality his wife got cancer and the stress combined with his autoimmune disorder led him to go to a doctor, the doctor prescribed him a drug, and his body went into an intense withdrawal when he stopped taking it. His daughter discusses it on her podcast.

@Roshe Whereas in the most basic sense you're correct, the context is often important. Did he blow all of his money on cocaine or heroin? No. Did he get addicted to a prescription drug? Yes. Does any of this have any bearing on his message? Well that's up to you, but your responses seem to indicate you've already made your mind up.

Good luck with your jouney man. Hope you find your way to where you need to be.

No. You saved your own life.

@Zayn Umar thank you.

Are you that guitarist??

I was thinking the same.

Why a bass and not the original counter tenor?

It made me think of roger scruton. Beauty. I think we're witnessing a rebirth of true conservatism. There's a longing for beauty, and truth. We won the arguments with facts, but lost the war to feelings. Reconnecting with heritage, and restoring beauty, integrity, and skill to their rightful place in our culture. It's no mistake that beautiful and deep music goes well with JBP talking of carrying your burden and taking responsibility. And it is certainly no mistake that his message resonates with young men.

@Zmiana Pogody When you're talking about the "new era of hating women", what I assume you mean in this context is essentially "anti-feminist" sentiments. That started way before Peterson started becoming a public person. The incel part is even sillier because what drives the incel movement is the exact same thing he opposes and seeks to educate people in finding healthier coping mechanism for like bitterness, resentment and holding grudges. What do you even make of the sizeable part of his audience that is compromised of women? Are they also on board this new era of hating women? Which comparatively to other modern "pop-culture philosopher" type figures like Dawkins and Hitchens seem to be much bigger, anecdotally speaking but you can just look at these youtube comments or look at the audiences at his lectures and it's pretty obvious that they're attracting more than just men. Did you just get out of a relationship with an incel? Your comment reads like a terrible crime drama fan fiction plot.

I assumed it had been from before his illness as well! Amazing to see him at it again.

if you only focus on self improvement you can't really change the world because everything you do will be for your owns sake and not others

When you put others before you and say it's for the benefit of them, and you say to yourself "but I can't take care of myself because they need me right now", you aren't doing anyone any favors. When speaking to improve someone else's life and you don't work on yourself you are a hypocrite. And one of the quotes I like to keep close to me is: "A hypocrite tells without influence, an example influences by showing what's possible." You can't make a difference by yapping, noone will take you seriously. Take yourself seriously and be real with what you want to accomplish, know what you are capable of. YOU have to become the monster, and then discipline yourself. A monster under control is much more beneficial to society than a useless puppy licking sores on other people. Invest in yourself and in one or two years the investment you make in others will be much bigger.

@The Jellybean Man wrong. If you improve yourself, you will inevitably be of more use to others. A weak person without standards is of no use to anybody.

@Bob LoblawNot inevitably, I would argue that helping others is a choice. And even if you want to help others you still have to help yourself first. If you choose to improve yourself you want to set a goal, a target. That target can be pathetically low, and you shouldn't be afraid of that. I believe Jordan Peterson himself says: "Every single day try to be better than you were yesterday". He also talks about how starting small and gradually improving yourself, even really slowly, over a few months or a year had massive results. You have to have a goal to motivate you, and later on that goal becomes your personal responsibility to reach, and through that responsibilty you find meaning in life. If your goal is to help as much people as much as possible (which is what Jordan is doing) you then certainly you will. Self improvement does not corrilate to being a good person. Choosing to be better person is a form of self improvement. Choosing to be stronger, wiser, more neat, cleaner and more independent are also forms of self improvement, but none of them mean you are helping anyone else. You are certainly more useful since you have more potential to help other people once you have improved yourself but that's still a choice.

@Bob Loblaw A weak person is of no use to anybody, you're right. Can you maybe expand a bit on standards?

Mitthenstein OK.

gay

what's the music from?

@Lord Feder music for a while by henry purcell

@George Collier thanks

@George Collier hi, good to see you here :D

😂😂😂😂😂

propaganda music lol

The music kinda sucked ass tbf lol, I mean Paul McCartney with a tapping foot and an acoustic guitar playing and singing Blackbird would’ve been way better, and suited it just as well it every way at minimum, and very likely exceeded it in most actually important and meaningful ways.

I laughed harder than I should have 🤣🤣🤣

It will never get old...

I'm glad beyond words that he is learning this wisdom more and more; of humility, questioning & pure attention, with as little judgement as humanly possible. it seems that it's was the lack of this wisdom that has attracted to him the most hatred from people on the outside. I've seen this new wisdom starting to shine through in his work. It's opening a new chapter in what Jordan Peterson could be & what doors of wisdom he could open for us all. I'm all for it, go Jordan!

@Steven twitter is not real life :)

@Steven he's not even remotely antivax.
