Jordan is so right about politicians isolating themselves. It's so much easier to dehumanise your opponents when you don't have normal human contact with them.

[juliaelrod]

😊 My dad, a Canadian, passed away a couple years ago. I didn't know how much I missed hearing "bloody this and bloody that" until I heard Jordan say it.💞

[paulheydarian]

Why didn't these same concerns and questions come up when discussing Afghanistan and Iraq? Or Libya? Or Syria? Or Yemen? Or so many other nations. Why?

[therighteous]

I'm from an eastern european member of the EU, I totally agree the west completely lost its way, mostly because a complete lack of meritocracy, but at the same time, the east represented by russia and china is much worse.

[silviuvelovici]

As a Romanian living in the US for the last 30 years I totally agree with Mr. Peterson that the West has lost its mind.

[kogaigo]

Saying Putin is worse than Stalin is great exaggeration if anything

[Unknown-yums]

Conversation is everything! Thank you both for letting us in on this conversation. Stay happy, stay healthy. 🍻

[lucienwmoon]

One thing, out of many, that I admire about Lex is his ability to communicate. I often find people, sometimes including myself, rushing to get words out of their mouths. When Lex speaks, he does so very deliberately and is able to articulate a sentence so well because of it.

[jessemohring]

Watching and listening to conversations like these makes it more difficult to have a conversation with a friend with out having debate turn into argument. Discussion is becoming a rare form these days.

[Go-ah-oold]

It is so refreshing to hear him speak about this issue, this perspective is different enough from the standard analysis to make it proportionately interesting. So lovely!

[briancrumpacker]

There are so many things to be learned from the ONE CLIP that can not only be applied directly to this subject matter, but can be used to extrapolate on many different aspects of our lives. I thank the both of you for continuing to show us how to use our minds in a correct fashion, to effectively communicate and complete our thoughts.

The hospitality aspect is fascinating. I've never thought of it that way, but providing grand hospitality to your guests even if they are strangers is actually a bonding experience.

[Mutual_Information]

I liked Peterson a lot more in the early days. I liked his lectures and Quora posts.. his opinions on clinical psychology are enlightening.

But I feel he’s compelled to opine on everything.. on things he doesn’t understand well. He’s not a historian and it shows. There’s a balanced critique circling which shows that he makes a litany of errors on his discussions of Hitler, Stalin, WW2.. id like him so much more if he would just keep to the things he knows best. Still like him as a person but I feel we aren’t getting his best.

[Fervillasmil]

I’m trying to raise my children so they can think for themselves with logic and to express themselves in a way close to what this two men accomplish. Lex is a Titan and so is Jordan. This articulated speaking of thought is what is disappearing from nowadays far to easy consumption of bullshit from all angles of fast net media experiences and kind of avoided by regular primary and secondary education levels.

[RockLee]

Lex is a pro at listening. Never interrupts

[adriantodea]

Lex has always impressed me with his genuine posture.

[finerbiner]

Conservative, Liberal, Leftist, Rethuglican etc...
If you need to use these terms to make your point you should stop.
Go back, try to get a better grip on your view and bring it to the world without loading it with BS before you start.

[vtheman]

This one was awesome, great job from the both of you, especially Lex who is very critical of Russia's invasion. A really good conversation.

[darvinist]

As a Russian I cannot agree with prof. Peterson entirely, but I must give him credit, he does much better job understanding Russia than so many others.

[marcus_ohreallyus]

It's a talk about the war in Ukraine without actually talking about the war in Ukraine
