Trial of Socrates | Jordan B. Peterson

Tried by the Athenians for failing to worship the correct gods and for corrupting the youth with his teachings, Socrates knew his time was coming to an end.

Rather than flee the city, Socrates asked his inner voice, his spirit to guide him. Socrates concluded that it was his time to stand with his shoulders back and leave the world on his own terms.

Imagine if the charge "corrupting the youth" still existed today. Youtubers & influencers would be drinking hemlock by the thousands

Unbelievable, how much wisdom and practical advice can be fit into six and a half minutes.

I dropped out of college and felt as useful as a door wedge. After that I started watching your lectures and I’ve drastically changed my life and put pieces back together. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and beliefs. You have no Idea.

"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say." (Luke 12:11-12)

The good thing about holding someone like Jesus as an example is that it's an unreachable goal, so there will never be that point where you reach your goal and no longer have to improve.

Perfect timing. I really needed to hear that. Thank you Dr. Peterson.

Thanks JBP for this excellent short clip. Easily grasped by this old carpenter guy, with decent verbal ability and comprehension. Please keep them coming. I know you very bright folks like the longer discussions more, and I myself have the patience to listen to them and do, but many friends just can't sit through them.
These smaller digestible clips are very helpful.
Hope you are healing well and taking needed rest and breaks - You've done a lot for us all and deserve all the rest you need.
Back to work here for this old guy.

I have always found, the better you are in a crisis, the more people resent, detest, avoid, and hate you when the crisis is over. They see you a reminder of how they failed, how they fell short, how they were powerless, and as people don't like to be reminded of that, they want you as far away from them as possible.
They will also hate you for doing the right thing, in spite of the cost, all the more so, if it would have cost them less, or even nothing, to do the same, and they did not.
They will hate you if they discover the sad elements of their own past, that they use to excuse them of blame for their own bad behaviour, are much much less than they own, and you have not fallen into any of the same behaviours.
As the saying goes, "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished."

Thank you for guiding me to discover my true passion and revealing to me where my strengths, skills, and weaknesses are and how to carve the best path for myself in life. We met in 2017 and I’ll never forget our conversation. God bless, Dr. Peterson. Welcome back to the Culture War, good friend.

[JonLovestheLord]

I have been thanking God that He has blessed you to come out the other side of your abyss. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Thank you very much for the truths you are sharing.

Woah! This blew my mind. I can't explain it because I lack the ability to string it in words right now, but I felt when he said that your ideals become your judge and if your ideal is too big for you, it becomes a tyrant!

[jessussmtz]

Now I totally understand why we’re afraid of making a big change in our life. I also understand why we fail to handle big changes. It’s because we feel overwhelmed by the new judge. I’ve experienced it, and failed many times, but now I have it clear. In order to be successful in any new life challenge, we have to create a better self 👍🏻

The embodiment of the Logos through an eternal dialogue with the Daimonic is the pathway to salvation.
