2017 Personality 15: Biology/Traits: The Limbic System

In this lecture, I begin my discussion of the relationship between brain function, at a deep, subcortical level, and the existence of the five traits identified by psychometric researchers.

This is a repost from a 2014 lecture, but the slides are edited in. I was not available for this class, and the scheduled replacement speaker had to cancel.

You can say whatever you want about his opinions, but can we at least all agree that this man is an absolute GEM of a teacher?

[svengalilord]

Wow, what a genius! I have listened to over a hundred hours of his videos, and I am still amazed at how brilliant he is, how much knowledge he possesses and his ability to communicate so clearly these very complex ideas.

[albertodebenedictis]

The full papers are free on his website. That's incredibly nice

[sharonaldridge]

Jordan Peterson videos are the only videos that I occasionally think: "I should take notes!" On the other hand, I send them ALL to my 'favorites.'

World-class education from home! Thanks, Professor!

I enjoy listening to JP's college courses running in the background while I play simulation video games. I never finished high school and work in the trades so it's nice to be mentally/abstractedly stimulated in my down time.

Dr. Peterson is such a gift & so are his lectures!

[berenicedecastilla]

Listening from France. Ive been hoping to listen to somebody like him developing all these topics all my life...Its fantastic ! Young students probably dont realise how lucky they are ! Im going to listen to all your videos and carry with the 17 vidéos on the Bible . Thats a miracle of Internet with the opening to knowledge.
Merci merci !! 💙

35:00 onwards is absolutely fantastic! The value in understanding this is immeasurable, especially if your primary goal is psychotherapy, or other such helping professions; even diplomacy and other such important political and military affairs! There are multiple ways of looking at the world! Literally, different ways of looking at the information; even to the idea of what information actually is, what is defined as worth being known. What you see, is determined by your fundamental values - and these values are not even close the capacity of the individual to consciously choosing their own values - it is much deeper than that; fundamental values determine perception; perception determines what you see, and values determine how you will see it. It is much deeper than this, and I can't even scratch the surface yet, but to understand this is so very helpful. Then it is a matter of learning the skills through committed discipline of more accurate communication abilities, and the ability to control ones emotional reactions in conversations that you find repugnant; because for the aforementioned reasons - because the way that you look at the world is different and how you look at the world is different; perhaps even more strange, that they way you do this, in relevance to the set of topics at hand, may be inaccurate.

i tell you guys, what here happens, with this lectures, is something really unusual and special. Never before we had such a chance for high quality education, without university. Thank you Jordan Peterson, you set a large standard for human behavior, so that we can overcome the nihilism.

[Utubmusical]

Oh boy I just finished lecture 14 and this pops up! Thank you very much for posting these, Mr. Peterson. I love your work and you are truly changing the way I view life.

[guloguloguy]

WOW!!! So FYI: I once was jogging down a remote trail, (in moderately weather, mid September, in Northern Minnesota, in the BWCAW, checking out a "portage" route), not expecting to encounter anything "unusual", when I suddenly, just happened to glance down where my foot was going to land, and saw a small snake, resting, right where I could've stepped! I was able to side-step and avoid injuring the snake, and I could quickly tell that the snake was just as startled as I was, as it was trying to also react quickly enough to get out of my way, as I approached it so suddenly! It was something which I will Always remember, and, It really helps me to remember your Brilliant, and fascinating lecture about these AMAZING topics! I LOVE your AWESOME Lectures!!!
THANKS!!!

8:15 - can you IMAGINE getting a fan letter from Dr Peterson? Think i'd just retire right then.

[terrormilk]

1:10:25 i love when he puts his own experience of thought and insight into the theories he explains. It shows the unbeliveable attention he pays when reading through literature as if he incorporated his entire being into the insights provided by the literature to form his verry own ideas and thoughts out of it. I love this mans thinking.

[mindfirst]

THIS COULD BECOME RULE NUMBER 13:


DON’T PAY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING THAT INST DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THE DESIRABLE OUTCOME.


This is GOLD. THANK YOU JBP

[vladimirofsvalbard]

A complete 1 hour lecture for free right here on Youtube; what an age we live in!

There is such a wealth of information on this platform it boggles my mind why anybody would continue paying for a College education, at least for the didactic years.

No wonder the inequalities are becoming so massive with the technology available.

Anyone not taking advantage of this will unfortunately be left behind; that's a lot of people right now.

Jordan confirms Abraham Maslow's findings that our most basic motivations are our most powerful ones. It is best to understand how we are designed.

[autumnleaves]

Another excellent lecture from 2017. I've been watching several of these over the last two days, you learn something new each time. Dr Peterson packs a great deal of information into each lecture, and all delivered at considerable speed. His University of Toronto and Harvard University lectures are a treasure trove, and all free for us yo enjoy on here. Thank you Dr Peterson.

[MrRyan]

when a professor get applause at the end of a lecture you know its a good lecture.
