This is a clip from yesterday's episode release with Logan Lancing. In it, he and Dr. Peterson discuss the most cited scholar, Michel Foucault, and how his work paved the way for placing power and perversion at the center of postmodern philosophy.

That line at 5:30 about unstable identity and mental illness is literally the single biggest societal issue today. The destruction of identity is deliberate.

The simple explanation is that they are "gaslighting" the children. Confusing them by telling them that they are a certain way and they are not aware of it.

Michel Foucault's dark past in Tunisia resurfaces.
‘Ignoble’, “morally hideous”, Guy Sorman's words are unequivocal when he talks, not only to the Sunday Times but also elsewhere, about the actions of Michel Foucault that he allegedly witnessed.
The events date back to the late 1960s, when Michel Foucault was living as a teacher in Tunisia. At the time, essayist Guy Sorman was spending his Easter holidays in the village of Sidi Bou Saïd, on the northern outskirts of Tunis, where Michel Foucault had made his home. ‘There were children of 8, 9 and 10 running after him, ’ he recalls. He threw money at them and said: ‘Meet me at 10pm at the usual place’.
That place, according to Guy Sorman, was the village cemetery. ‘He had sex here, on the graves, with young boys’, continues the essayist. The question of their consent didn't even arise. He would never have dared to do that in France, there's a colonialist dimension, a white imperialism’. Today, Guy Sorman says he regrets not having denounced Michel Foucault's ‘despicable’ and ‘morally hideous’ actions to the police or in the press.

When I saw Foucault in the syllabus at school last year a chill ran through me

"Wer für alles offen ist, kann nicht ganz dicht sein."
"Who is open to everything, can't be 'tight'" (meaning: sane)

I worked with some very woke orientated people in the early 2010's and it took me really long time to realise what they wanted was power to bully their peers.

What shocked me in particular was their tendency to target a young, gay, vulnerable, hyper agreeable man.

Vulnerability inflamed their desire for dominance.

It took me a long time to realise that. I thought their tantrums and cruelty came from a desire for a spontaneous and open world where harmony was arrived at by a kind of cathartic Freudian openess if the dark side.

It took me about five years to realise what they wanted was the freedom to indulge hatred of anyone they considered an easy target.

I am - or was - very idealistic and post modern.

I'm in favour of no rules. But that's not what they want. It took me a long time to realise the difference between what they said and what they wanted. They want the cruelty of despotism.

If course as Peterson said - they suffered immensely. The harder they bullied and punched and manipulated and lied - the less they felt they were surrounded by unconditional love and support, which is probably what they wanted in the beginning before all this stuff rotted Thier brains like golumn in his cave .

It reminds me of that amazing and appropriately disturbing Leonard Cohen song: "You want it darker, we kill the flame." Thank you again for this invaluable conversation!

Most people do not know about the fact that Foucault was also employed as a propagandist by the French intelligence agencies.With the blessing of French and American intelligence agencies he frequently travelled between US and France, spreading post-modern propaganda among academia people .The reason western intelligence agencies would promote him is due to the fact that they wanted the academic left to support another radical leftist alternative to Soviet supported marxism (during the Cold War marxism was very popular among many leftist intellectuals and Western governments feared Soviet intelligence agencies would
Ideologically subvert the West though academic marxist propaganda).So postmodernism was “sold “ by the French intellectuals (supported by French intelligence agencies) as the “new left”, to redirect leftists from economic issues (for e.g., criticism of capitalism) to social issues (gay rights, trans rights, african american rights, etc), so capitalist governments would not have to worry about the marxist propaganda.

The distinction made between gay and queer in this video was eye opening. Ive known some normal gay people through my life and met one group of queer people. They had a distinct energy to them which differed to normal gays. I hadnt figured out how or exactly why they were different till now

I appreciate you Jordan because I have a good grasp of the English language. Not all do. Keep up the noble fight. I am trying my best to simplify your ideas for a broader audience with my own art.

In a way, creativity can only exist in opposition to society, because creativity that is incorporated by society becomes normalized and thus is no longer creative. I think the problem is that many have made the error of believing that opposition to society itself is a form of creativity, which it is not.

I just finished a sociology degree in Ireland, as a mature 32 year old woman... and I am furious that nobody told me this about Foucault when we were learning about him.. wtf

[MaraKatria]

So important to highlight the attraction of any version of Marxism (veiled or otherwise) for creative young people. And why it is devastatingly misleading. I wish that these things would have been stated much more explicitly... Or even hinted at when I was in school.

Foucault, Kinsey, and Money...Hell’s unholy trinity.

Satan can only counterfeit. Never create.

I didn't know what Jordan said about Foucault. I was taught him while I was at University when going for an English degree. I got a lot of indoctrination information, and this was back between 2009-2013.

Always remember the reason Foucault himself gave for going into education - "Because of the beautiful boys."

“Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming where everyone is interdependent.”

Everytime I mention this truth, and that every other forefather of it was as sick. Like a mantra, all people who have bought these lies have said a variant of "the past should not ruin our present and future".

Makes me wonder if they have been told this, and have witnessed how is always someone else infecting others with the sick ideology.
