Damn. Could you imagine taking a course from a professor that elicits applause at the end of the lecture?

I love how Peterson is always saying if you are high in agreeableness you should work with people, and I'm just sitting here, super high in agreeableness and introversion both, like . . . yay. . . .

This is the Jordan B Peterson I admire.

[mpcc]

I honestly get more excited when I find out something is not true, thank you Jordan B Peterson.

[indysjumparound]

I’m not even in his class, not even a student and at the end I had a 3 second anxiety moment when he talked about the final…🤣🤣🤣

[Keggplant]

I like how at the end of a lecture the students clap to show their appreciation. I feel the same urge

[wojakwoes]

This man is so full of truth, he completely destroys the grifters like Duckworth and hundreds of others.

Dr Peterson summons his shadow to explain the questionnaire rule

[jimhendricks]

Having great presentations like these available online does, at least to some degree, negate the relevance of paying huge tuition fees to get a university degree. Cheers!

I listen to these lectures while I do chores around the house. It really helps.

[roddydykes]

Wow this was an incredibly practical lecture. I’ve watched nearly all of his content from 2017 onward, and those are very interesting. But this older 2014 one, he focuses a lot on what works and what doesn’t in the field of science, and recommendations directed at young people, early in their careers or education.

Dr Peterson

Many thanks for your wonderful videos. They enrich my life nearly every day.

I will take the liberty of calling your attention to the fact that the "phenomenon" is the singular and "phenomena" is the plural.

Warm greetings from Hamburg, Germany

That story of "grit" is inspirational, interesting, and useful.

[KipIngram]

38:05 - Wow; that whole business about the journals refusing to publish replications is terrible. The whole scientific method relies on replicability. You'd think that maybe they'd publish the first 3-4 replications, and then maybe we could say "Ok, we don't need more of this." But consistent FAILURE to reproduce an earlier published result? That IS new scientific knowledge - it's saying "some of our scientific knowledge is incorrect." That's knowledge. Those policies undermine the integrity of the scientific process in a major way, if you ask me.

[christianhorvath]

We are here because Peterson is one of a kind.

Higher education institutions today (unfortunately) motivate their researchers/students to produce as many research papers as possible, since they earn profit based off of the number of papers published per year, instead of the actual quality of the research that has been conducted.
I know this for a fact, since I've met plenty of professors who's only purpose is to do useless research that contributes at a factor of 1 to the actual discovery and understanding of new knowledge; and note that new knowledge (discoveries) is not necessarily useful (for the moment being), but it adds to our understanding of the way things work.
As you said, on average today, about 97% of corporations and institutions' output is to keep themselves running....
This is disappointing. Incredible lecture and insight as always by the way; I can't believe how many things I am currently learning from just watching your videos... Thank you.

I had a professor like JBP at SCSU in CT (acronym soup). He is a philosophy professor but they would be fast friends. He is a virtue ethics guy who really didn’t cater to students or SJW ideology. Volkman was his name.

[Deprived_Dolphin]

I wish I could have been your student. But watching your videos is as good as it will get.

[FayeDancingCloud]

Thanks for sharing your work with the public, Dr. Peterson!
"The final exam is not cumulative" were some of my favorite words as a full time college student working full time on graveyards to cover my tuition. I had very poor retention as you might imagine!
I'm wondering now after hearing this lecture, what you think about personality changes - I intend to search that as a key phrase, next!

[antmayfield]

That's hilarious because I've also been watching talks by this Duckworth woman on grit hahaha
