normal people : oh look goosebumps
jordan peterson : oh look piloerrection

[eddyjok]

He tried to crack a joke about his lectures being a collection of loosely connected ideas and no one seemed to have laughed lol

[isaacbezanson]

How do I keep getting clickbaited by JP shorts where he mentions the title words for 4 seconds

[kingsloth]

This video has less to do with music and intelligence and has more to do with the association between openness and IQ.

[birsay]

I hope Jordan gets well and begins giving talks and interviews again. We need him.

Listening to Jordan Peterson gives me piloerections

[mccalltrader]

I feel totally ripped off by ALL of my college psychology professors!

[blooeagle]

I usually feel this piloerection whenever I listen to particularily good music. Something about it is just as massive dopamine release for me and I feel tingly everywhere

Music can also activate intelligence. Neuroscience has shown that especially Bach's music, unlike contemporary music, reacts with all areas of the brain. Due to it's complex counterpoint and fugal structures it basically works like multitasking muscle training because the brain has to identify several independent voices simultaneously instead of just one, simple, repetetive, accompanied melody.

[dumbfounded]

Always fascinating to hear Mr Peterson speaking. But as a musician, I was looking forward to hearing what his take is on the effect that music has on the brain and its development, be it learning to play or simply appreciating good music (entirely subjective). I don't feel like I've lost four minutes and forty two seconds of what's left of my life but I have to wonder about who it is that decides how videos here are titled.

When someone gets down and dances their heart out to a good beat it makes me want to get up and dance too.

"Like my lectures for example" I see what you did there

[davidyetter]

I've got to admit, that I've seen some art that has erected a response.

[electricblue]

I remember being in high school when I got Björk's live box compilation. I listened to it on head phones and it brought me to tears without any sadness. I remember being so perplexed at the time

[CHECHEN]

Jordan Peterson’s favorite song is Rock Lobster

[brendanwood]

My cat get's philoerections from ASMR while purring with the right physical rhythmic petting. He also get's excited listening to music sometimes scratching the carpet and running playfully with a puffed up tail. He's very vocal, expressive, intimate, and intelligent.

[achajee]

He is so brilliant, so many ideas in a lecture

what i find most interesting about intelligence related to music is the knowledge factor itself. So you may be intelligent but never learned to play anything due to a variety of reasons. When or if you learn to play later it is usually through someone teaching you. But what they teach you and how they teach you directly influences your ears and brain later. So music you used to like a lot may sound not as good to you later after some time spent learning to play due to this. This amazes me and to the point that I have gone out of my way to learn to play without anyone teaching me at young age of 47 just to kind of prove this to myself. Now I have picked up some knowledge along the way that I wanted to tighten up some of my own music making attempts so nothing wrong with that for each individual. But I don't think people realize this. I attempted to learn to play in the later 90's and didn't get very far with it at all but I did notice then that I was already not liking some of the music that I had otherwise loved before that point. I didn't like this as that music meant more to me than that and it caught me off guard a little. So when i moved on with my career as a technician i put the guitar down and gave up on it at that time as I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere with it anyway. Within a very short period of time that feeling about some of my favorite music not being as good as I thought went away and I found myself enjoying it again. This blows me away still that I would change my opinion on music by trying to learn to play it lol. But it's true. So I went a totally different route this time and when I picked the guitar back up a couple years ago I immediately just starting writing my own music and trying to put together some songs (have recorded about 35 of em since). I have had no instruction from anyone other than a couple tidbits from people i picked their brain on here and there. This time I find I still love all the same music that I used to without change. Now I don't know if I am very intelligent or average or below average / i repaired motorcycles for 23 years that most people didn't know how to and that's why they brought em to me but every one of em was its own process of troubleshooting and figuring it out so maybe I am at least average there. Point being though and this is why I thought I would mention this / I am not sure if there is not a difference in intelligence and knowledge at a high level. I have jokingly stated that I don't want to learn anymore about the technicalities of music or theory because I want to keep being able to write / try that one on and see it makes sense to ya / lol / it may not but I found this very intriguing and am still kind of in awe of it myself. Not saying everything I have written or composed since is great but there was so much freedom to not knowing theory and writing that way that it felt like I managed to write a lot easier. Now I have picked up more knowledge since by default as I have done this every day pretty much for almost 2 years now and suddenly my song writing has slowed down and can at times be a little more stressful due to that as I am getting pickier than before / keep in mind I still like all the songs I wrote before this just as much / WOW is all I can say the more I think about that. It tells me our ears train the brain which turns around and influences our taste in things a lot more than I ever realized before.

[bernardguynunns]

This intelligent lecture is music to my ears.
