Me: how was your day?
Jordan Peterson: I would like to recommend a book.

If we ever needed this guy, it's now... he's been warning about our current issues for years

[MCsCreations]

Unfortunately, only a small part of people really listen to what he's saying.

[ottofrinta]

Shit... Peterson providing us 20+ year olds with the type of father figure we desperatly needed but didn't have.

[sto]

"You dont apologize and you dont back down." He is so much more a leader than what we have in politics right now.

[markhatfield]

This is one of his best, or rather, his most important.

[cman]

Come back peterson, this country needs you

[theresecadalzo]

I was nihilistic till I found Dr. Peterson, whenever I feel like giving up I always come and watch the videos and enlighten myself. Every video is worth watching. Thank you so much

[jacquelinerendell]

Thank you, so very much, for doing what you do and sharing what you know and being who you are...you are making a difference in countless lives, including mine. Thank you for expanding my mind and my understanding, so I can more consciously participate as a creative force in shaping the future I'd like to see as an outcome of this current chaos.

Jordan Peterson: one of God's mercies upon this world.

7:35 "The humanities and much of the social sciences has turned into a postmodern neo-marxist playground for radicals"

[_campesinox]

Probably almost no one watching this has any idea how completely Peterson misrepresents his subject. Literally everything he presents as fact is straight up false. Marxism and postmodernism are NOT the same. Postmodernism isn’t a belief system. Postmodernists don’t all think the same thing. Put aside Peterson’s beliefs and values, which may or may not be good, helpful, whatever. His scholarship is truly deplorable.

I'm 24 and I've never really had a father figure around past the age of 1. I haven't even known of Peterson for more than a year, but since I've discovered him I can scarcely describe what's happened to me intellectually. He's taught me so much about my self... Not complex ideas really .. but that makes it so much more profound.. the simplicity of so much of it. I can't say Peterson is fulfilling the roll of a father for me, because you be truthful, I have no idea what that means. The precisness that I fall into the typical male viewer that he describes is somewhat startling really.. when he was talking about longing for responsibility, it's as thought he were talking specifically to me. Peterson is the north star in a midnight desert of nihilism.

As a current student of a CSU (California state university), when JP said to take those positions of influence and responsibility to wake these other students up from their trance of PM(postmodernists), I personally accepted that as a challenge...

[Btn]

I had a professor that pretended to be a postmodern Econ teacher. He played the role the first class, sucked some in, and crush them in debate. It was funny, sad, and terrifying.

[droko]

-_- he claims that it is extremely important to understand postmodernism, but shows a complete lack of understanding when it comes to the core concept of it. All of his depictions of postmodernism are garbage straw man arguments

[syntheticsleep]

Wishing I had had an influence like this in my younger life. As an American male approaching 40, raised by women and never pushed in the right direction(s), it's quite difficult to course-correct...though I am definitely trying. Being a left-leaning centrist, (that's alt-right, neo-nazi, patriarchal, colonialist oppressor, or so I'm told) I've found myself being more and more at odds with what the "left" promotes, and it's been listening to Dr. Peterson's speeches and lectures that has put it into focus. I might not always agree politically, but I'd rather listen to someone I disagree with that actually makes me think and re-evaluate myself and form actual, coherent reasons WHY I disagree than to be told what I agree and disagree with by some mindless zealots. Trying to get better at cleaning my room.

[FaustCrowley]

Peterson and his fear of reality would be funny if he didn't have such a following.

[orions]

“You need to understand postmodernism” lol he skipped his own step one

[PordanBJeterson]

I have to, and I am going to fight with all my might.
