Censoring Jordan Peterson should be classified as a crime against humanity.

I just had an argument with my sister in law. We both offended each other but we are ok. At first I didn't think we'd survive because we were so offended by each other but we got over it surprisingly quickly and got through it in the end. There's hope

I like that Jordan Peterson made this channel composed of small clips from his lectures.
I used to have to subscribe to ten different channels that took snippets of his lectures to accommodate my short attention span. I don't like the idea of making revenue off of somebody else's video just because you edited it slightly and stuck your logo on it. I'm glad the revenue and credit is going back to Dr. Peterson.

4:22 I notice a curious pattern or correlation between verbal fluency and motor skill especially by observing how old people move and speak; essentially what I find is if they can speak well, very rarely do they show a pronounced decline in motor functions and the opposite is also true. Not sure if it's merely a symptom of brain cell degeneration, but I never actually found any scientific studies investigating this.

Does anyone know where the 'People don't think so much as thoughts appear in their head and they believe them' quote come from? He mentions Jung, but I can't find a more direct reference?

Most of what Jordan says is extremely profound, but this particular statement opened my eyes like nothing else. Very underestimated statement.

Much needed in light of recent events. Thank you Prof. Peterson!

I will use this in one of my techno tracks. This is incredible

I like how his class aged so well :D Now they even look grown up, man!

[CodedStingray]

I couldn't agree more to this. Brilliant video.

[terrybear]

I love this man. We are so blessed, especially during these potentially destructive times, to have Dr. Peterson's wisdom. Are you listening?

“Reality is made out of language. Some people understand this and use it to bully the rest of us. We think you have to show your cards and they know that you just claim to have aces and eights and everybody gets out of your way."

Finally I have found video on law (logic) vs emocions! It is rare. And at my country tottaly tabu. I admire when it is finally recognized somewhere within law system.

This guy and Carl Jung is a true hero. Jung is right when he saids to master any skill one must overcome early failure and embarrassing defeats. This is so true when it comes to World Series Of Poker. Any poker champion on ESPN will tell you how badly they lost before they got great!

There's a Taoist one about not leaving your valuables on your window sill, because it'll invite thieves. Being articulated is a little like that.
