  1. Good catch. Dr Jordan realized that "revelation" was too loaded a word.

  2. I have thought about this a lot. There are videos on calculus that have a few thousands views, and "despacito" has over six billion views (check it!) The "do gooders" use to say that acquiring knowledge was expensive . That books were expensive, that universities were expensive, only the rich had time. The internet has made the cost almost zero (you still need to pay the phone, the wifi and the elctricity). But the internet has proven that cost was never the issue. Even paying for that small cost, people rather see six billion times a music video, than gain knowledge about calculus. Ignorance is a choice. Always has been.

  4. 54:00 "low resolution representation" is still a representation of reality. Mind blown. Low resolution doesn't mean fake or wrong. And it depends on what you want it for. There is no point on having a map resolved to the milimeter if you are moving around tankers that are half a mile long.

  6. Politicians need to step up, or they will be left in the dustbin of history. Citizens have realized that government, political parties and representatives are optional, unnecessary... and maybe even harmful and against their self interest.

  7. 1:24:40 "that is not a good enough story"... this is key. World poverty has declined for over twenty years, but data convinces nobody. Jordan is right... we need better stories, better story-tellers. For the left it is easy to tell a story of despair, horror and threats.

  8. 1:05:40 The bomb was made to end wars. --- Maybe some people believe that, but this is disproven by history. In 1884 Maxim believed that machine guns would make war unthinkable, even some military planners agreed ... and then we had Verdun . Machine guns or Bombs do not, cannot, make peace. MUTUAL ASSURED DESTRUCTION makes peace. When there are no "acceptable losses", no government risks war. Declining populations in the developed world means these governments can no longer risk conventional war either. India and China can see that their own population will peak and decline, so the window of opportunity to wage war will close for them too. It takes very few, relatively cheap, well positioned weapons (not all of them atomic, some are now digital) to make the cost of war unbearable...TO ALL.

  9. 1:10:00 is the key issue "... the ideology that we must keep people apart from each other..." "... the state has the right to impose that..." If you spend two hours a day on social media, and claim you can't hear this in it's entirety... you are beyond help.

  10. This was a moral and sensible position. But the trust that served as it's base has been broken. The covenant upon it was built is no longer valid. I had no enemies besides myself, my pride and my own failings. But some want me to pay for their demons. Now I have another clear and present danger. A new danger that wants to trade my demons for theirs. This is not a matter of denial of my failings. I do not deny the filth in my eye. But even a blind man has the right to defend itself from the will of others . I choose to die fighting, even if I am blind in my own filth, rather that live as a slave to someone else's "wisdom".

  11. 1:14:00 The purified, concentrated output of a brilliant mind. 🎩 respect.

  12. 1:54:35 When Jordan hears "Straigthforward yes" he is filled with hope for the future, and also suddenly realized what historic horrors were avoidable. You just saw a top shelf mind process information at an astonishing speed.

  13. Well done. Unity and peace as an antidote to fear and tyranny

  14. I have no quarrel with the concept of "good", or even the "higher good".... as long as someone isn't forcing his private, personal higher good onto other individuals.

  15. Min 1:50:00 " if you take tax money" is the key. If individuals want to cut each others throats and bear the consequences for it, it is acceptable. But when a colective pays an enforcer to harm an individual, with guaranteed impunity to the enforcer and no consequence to the colective, it is NOT acceptable.

  16. 23:00 "how the government can fix the economy"....This statement is pure hubris arrogance and violence. Of course it is the foundation of all coercive and totalitarian regimes.

  17. The largest benefit of constitutional monarchy is that it makes very clear that "STATE" and "GOVERNMENT" are not one and the same. That oposing Boris (Government) is not treason to the Queen (State) Which is a huge problem in LatAm, where warlord-party-government-country is all bundled up in a single dictatorial entity. If you oppose the will of the caudillo, you are a traitor to the "fatherland" 8:15 And the point is made with a laugh. 👍😁 My question is... Is Dr Peterson aware that he has become (unwillingly) some sort of regal figure to many? Many of us that want for moral clarity in uncertain times.

  18. MIn 58 The way I solve this problem is distinguish between spirituality, religion, and CHURCH. 1- Rational atheists have excellent points, but they cannot deny that we are spiritual beings. We were spiritual when we were cavemen, and 50 thousand years have not changed the wiring in our brain, nor the needs and programming in our genes. For better or worst, self aware existence creates spirituality. 2- Faith can be equally misplaced in a church, a political party, oneself, or current "settled" science. So "faith" is everybody's failure, always. Even the atheists have faith in themselves, in their intellect... why is that less likely to be wrong? 3- Religion is what we DO , it is a collection of rites. Shamanic rites, festival of lights, or quiet contemplation of the universe. 4- Church is a political structure that derives power from religion. Luther rebelled against ONE church, because he wanted to grab some power for himself... but he let the genie out of the bottle. Once Luther (and Guttenberg) did their thing, the individual could satisfy his spiritual needs by himself...individual having private access to "god" directly. Luther demolished the political power of the church. This did not happen in islam. 5- Nietzche was right, demolishing the church lead us to political turmoil . But god is not dead, religion is not dead... CHURCHes are dead . Anarchism has taken over spirituality. And politicians are terrified, what would happen if this anarchism spills onto other areas of life? (bitcoin, identity, law) In the political vacuum of killing the CURCH... socialism became THE church. First by saying they were "rational" , but now they embrace the feelings and the Irrational.

  20. 10:25 there is one with a master key. The fact that he disappeared is not ( enough) proof that he will not come back. All money is based on faith. Having blind faith in bitcoin is only marginally better than having blind faith in government currencies, because governments have already betrayed that faith .

  23. I put forth that "liberal" (as used by Thornhill) individuals were naturally culled during most of human existence. When the adventurous travelled away from their native group, they faced variants of known diseases, or totally new diseases, and died. ☠️ never returned and seldom changed society. The technical advances after the steam age allowed faster and greater volume of travel, and medical advantages spared the adventurous from dying. Thus the ratio between "conservative" and "liberal" was modified in population as a whole.

  30. min 41:50 "elect to lead us" this is a key misunderstanding. We elect representatives , never leaders. Elected officials have a mandate, must do as they were TOLD to do. As long as people believe they are discharging the responsability of power onto others, you will breed tyrants. I lead no one but myself, and anybody that requires a "leader" is not my peer. /// "experts" must face the public and public scrutiny, not whisper secrets in closed halls into the ears of "leaders"

  31. min 46:21 "i don't know" is the right, honest answer. 👍

  32. 31:25 "if you are a 'reasonable' person" = you MUST think just like me, or you are unreasonable. Ad hominem. 35:25 "better argument than just it disproportionally impacts the poor"... really? because that is the ONLY thing that the liberals argued for the last 20 years! 36:00 "it depends on" = it's only ok when I do it. 37:00 "just because something targets the poor is not an argument against it" really? again... this is the tent pole of liberalism. 37:45 "if you believe climate models"... why would I have to believe? Science and facts require no "belief". If you require belief, it is NOT science, it is a religion

  35. 32:00 Dr Peterson tries hard to remain loyal to reason while keeping his faith. It cannot be done. The good news is that he doesn't have to. I wish he soon understand this On the other hand, Dawkins is ruthless. As he should be. I see no evil in his method, but I do see an absence of charity Both are titans. And I respect them both.

  36. 4:00 no real end point to our our desire to augment our intelligence Maybe there is no endpoint to our desires and wants, but there will be a point of diminishing returns to AI tools And yet there will be another point when it will be un-economical (in a budget of energy, or time spent) to use them AI will not eliminate the fundamental economic problem, it will just shift the tipping point
