2017 Personality 11: Existentialism: Nietzsche Dostoevsky & Kierkegaard

In this lecture, 11th in the 2017 series, I discuss the giants of existentialism, a philosophically-grounded psychological position positing (1) that psychopathology or mental illness/distress is built into Being itself and (2) that the adoption of responsibility through action is the appropriate response.

After working 14 hours today, I got home and popped up this lecture. Watched the whole damn thing, and I¨m glad I did. I feel so enlightened about things I didn't already know. I never went to university, but I'm glad these lectures are available on the Internet for anyone to see on their own time as many times as they like. It's a beautiful thing.

"So do I, " said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

People clapping for their teacher. I've never seen that before. Good man that Peterson.

I've thought about this a lot lately.

Wow, Nietzche and Dostoyevsky I have long appreciated, but this convinced me I need to read Kierkegaard.

[billyedmondson]

I’ve been at University for 2 years now, granted I’m studying Law, but no lecturer, module or conversation I’ve had here has come close to the inspiration, curiosity and excitement I’ve found watching JPB YouTube lectures. And they are free! I feel like a kid again, discovering the world.

This guy has begun rewiring the way i think with his teachings. Thank you Jordan, you may have saved the remainder of my years in some way. :)

[rachelhiggins]

The best lecture thus far. The truth in it's realest state. We cannot separate humanity and suffering. It is so deeply in bedded in man, like all of our 5 senses. Suffering is just another way we experience the world, which we do not want to accept, but hardly can ignore. We crave it and the fact that we do frightens us to the very bone. When I lose meaning in life I find my self, consciously or subconsciously, desiring hardship. I never could make sense of it until recent. Suffering gives life meaning. Not because we find satisfaction in It, but because it allows us to recognize, by contrast, of the beauty and joy in life when it's right in front of our faces. Then we can remember what is truly valuable.

Dr. Peterson is actually making me ill, as I can't stop watching his videos, and am not sleeping.

[Coeurebene]

These Dostoïevski quotes resonate so much in an age where algorithms are starting to tell us how to behave all the time, when to turn left, what is the information I was looking for, who is a proper match for me, how I should respond to an email.

[BC-rqhd]

Absolutely fascinating stuff! I have a degree in psychology and education and often resent the fact I spent so much of my time and money to be exposed to so much nonsense in college, instead of the education I was truly craving for, and should’ve looked like what we see here to be considered worthwhile. To be able to learn from Dr. Peterson today through YouTube is a true priceless gift that I, in no way, take for granted. Thank you so very much 🙏

Thx to YouTube notifications, I showed up to this lecture earlier than that girl
