If you want to see a person's true self, give them power over others.

I wish I could attend a class by this man.

Got sober and found Peterson at 2yrs sober. He was the father figure I needed. Telling me things about my nature in such an articulate way has really helped me grow.

The nerve of turning up to a J.P. lecture late :p

This reminds me of the time I burned my bacon. To lose something so wonderful, so precious due to negligence... I had to face right then and there that I am capable of horrible things.

"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?" Aleksandr Szolzhenitzen, "The Gulag Archipelago"
This is what Professor Peterson is saying.

"You have to talk to people you disagree with" Well, that is how I started watching JP videos and he helped me alot.

These students are so lucky to have a professor like him

I've met people (mostly men) who have sold their daughters into the sex trade. Not because they were poor, but because they didn't want to work. I kept hearing a saying that was repeated in Thailand amongst the men. "If you have a daughter, you will never have to work again." I've met a 10-year old that stabbed his 7-year-old brother to death. I've been inside a Cambodian death camp (that still has blood stains on the walls and floor) as well as the killing fields. I work eveyday with boys who either have been raped or are rapists themselves. People who that say evil doesn't exist are usually sheltered academics. That have not only never seen an evil act, but have never met an evil person. Only safe philosophies think otherwise.

This was me during primary school, I was so oppressed not only by the students in class but the teacher also that I was afraid when I had to speak up because they would critique every single one of my actions. I sometimes went to church and I prayed to god that one of the bullies would die a horrible death when I was 8-11 years old. None of the teachers intervened because I lived in a small community and there would be to much trouble removing some of them from class. If you have children and they have trouble with speaking up for themselves, please teach them to speak up for themselves and be more masculine otherwise their suffering might be unbearable and the later life consequences so big that they start to wonder if their existence is a worthy thing. Though this probably happened to me due to being raised by a single mom. At least I'm doing well academically but I barely have any friends and my only outside activity is going to the gym. Before you leave your wife/girlfriend, think of the goddamn children.

It is easy being good when you have everything you need....I never trust people who are not under duress....to test the morality of a person it must be put under pressure to see if it cracks....So many say they would never steal or kill, but under duress most would kill without hesitation. Being moral when we live in luxury is easy.

At first when I watched JP's videos I thought of him as negative and aggressive, but now I see he cares so much about people and wants to protect them.. and probably is sick of seeing good people go under so he needs to be stern in his message. This particular video speaks to me so much. I've been so stupid and I shouldn't have let the resentment build up, because it did burst just like he said. Jordan, God bless you for caring so much. :)

There's not a chance in hell you'd catch me fiddling with a computer while at a Peterson lecture.

[Slarti]

When I was studying computer science at university in 1988 a few of the lecturers would stop people coming into the lecture theatre once the lecture had started.
It taught us how to be punctual in the jobs we would get after graduating.

I remember when I integrated my shadow. A psychological transformation resulted. I went from feeling weak and cowardly constantly repressing the part of myself that I considered “mean”. If someone did something to me I anxiously thought through what I should do. I constantly worried in every situation of someone wronging me and being too afraid to act. Now I am mean and my focus is on controlling myself in a manner where I am not being mean at inappropriate times. This sense of what is appropriate or not is internally guided. But when I use it for example on someone who wronged me I crush them to a caliber that is appropriate to their level of wrong doing. People sense I will do this when they are in my presence even though my disposition in generally friendly. This gives me a sense of power and people respect me. I have the willpower to act on what I think is right and wrong and stand out from the crowd. I used to be heavily influenced by others emotions, not anymore. I treat people how they should be treated even though I know many people would be defenseless if I decided to to openly make fun of them. Integrating the shadow is like knowing martial arts but never using it. Its like having a sword but always keeping it sheathed. Its what they call “personal power”.

I love how direct he is. Jordan's made me think about things my behaviour. A great man.

[nickmagrick]

2:21 one of the worst traits of society today imo is that they believe that absolutely everything is almost 100% perpetrator and victim.

His words give me power and life over my depression I love this man
