A proverb concerning video game strategy:

If you keep running into enemies, you're heading in the right direction.

[MBTIMemes]

the basis for Jungian Psychoanalysis is:
*"That, what you fear and avoid, that, which you hold in contempt, that, which disgusts you, and that, which you avoid, that is the gateway to what you need to know."*


or in my own words:
*"Face whatever you want to face least."*

I don't know who you are Mr. Bite-sized Philosophy but thank you so very much for pulling out these little daily highlights for everyone who can't always watch a full lecture. Dr. Peterson deserves to be heard, and in our fast moving society its very important to have an easily accessible and summary highlight of his lectures.

[alemedina]

This is so accurate. I'm an Osho sannyasin and I have listening to him for the last years (I'm 28 y/o), I travelled to his ashram in India and did, I do on a daily basis, meditation practices. I can assure you that the real spiritual work is nothing but pain. This new age bullshit "be happy" is such a dangerous statement. To be "actual happy", you need to dig in the deepest shit.

Brilliant staging. He walks into the shadow as he describes chasing pleasures, and walks back towards the lit center as he describes a more courageous path.

[Davemac]

I find myself in close agreement with virtually everything that Peterson says on these topics.

This must be one of the most educational videos I’ve seen in my life!! It makes perfectly sense

[carljungdepthpsychologyrea]

This is a great one!  I've added it to one of our play lists.

Im glad that there are these bite sized videos from Jordan's lectures. Watching the whole lecture is mentally tiring at most so these clips are a great gateway to ideas.

Mr/Mrs Bite-sized Philosophy, thank you for these videos.

1:00 "We embody a lot of information in our action, and our action has developed as a consequence of imitating other people. And not only the people around us, but, of course, the people around us imitated the people that came before them, and those people imitated the people who came before them and so on, so far back that it's as far back as you can go. So you embody these patterns of behavior that are extremely informative that you don't understand that are consequence of collective imitation across the centuries."

2:12 "...the fundamental, archetypal structures of religious belief were not pathological, not deceitful, not protective in some delusional sense against the fear of death, but quite the contrary. The very stories that enabled us to move forward as confident human beings in the face of chaos itself."

[erraticchromatic]

Damn ...such a beautiful articulation of the function of archetypes, and Jungian psychology in general .... Jordan Peterson clearly held Jung in high regard, as I think any psychologist should in this day and age, or at the very least, be willing to explore his profound and prolific insights.

[VasfiDogan]

Thanks lot bite-size philosophy. I appreciated to you share these videos with us.

[michaelrivera]

It seems like following your bliss is really just the least possible efficient way of doing it, like circumnavigating the globe to arrive at your destination on the other side of town.

[bxfmatch]

'What you need most will be found where you least want to look.' Mic drop 🎤 A considered life is truly terrifying - thank you Jung and Peterson both

[miiks............]

So according to Jung deities and folklore are the manifestation of the imagination of the group collective formed via the passing on of cultural information (aka memes) through the centuries.
Therefor he who controls the memes controls the collective perception of reality and change reality.
Meaning pushing atheism could be used to force the collective unconscious to return back to a blank slate and reprogram it.

4:50 Jungian Psychoanalysis in a nut shell...
That which you fear and avoid, hold in contempt...that which disgusts you and that which you avoid... that's the gateway that you need to know...

I worry for Dr. Peterson. His influence has grow such that many Twitter-verified ideologues whose sole purpose is to cut down anyone who does not confirm to their far left Marxist views opening discuss their disdain for him. It's the very same people who will insure that James Damore is never hired in Silicon Valley again. I'm sure that Peterson can weather the worst; I'm just concerned of the magnitude of storm.
