Comments by "Wide Awake Human" (@WideAwakeHuman) on "Jordan B Peterson" channel.

I feel like the problem is that JP is trying to work out philosophical/religious/spiritual questions and Dawkins has no use for anything even remotely connected to spiritual/religious things so the questions aren't going anywhere. But yeah, it didn't flow - I felt like Dawkins was wishing he was somewhere else

"China thought Australia would bend quite quickly" Australia maybe didn't bend to China but they actually became China so not sure how much better it is.
70
Yeah I got the same impression - no lies, no BS, just thoughtful answers

Peters trashing the US for not wanting to be Socialist Peterson just looks at his daughter to avoid even commenting on it... Lol
19
@TheSanityMachine33 watched it... It's 3 years old and everything he's done since then just proves the premise of that video is wrong. So now what?
18
@JGComments lmao... I love when all the haters can do is make ridiculous, inaccurate comments. The Left in general has just gotten so caught up in hating certain ideas and people that they can't even have a coherent thought when one of the hated topics or people comes up.
16
@leftphilange69 no he can't give you an example... He may be distrustful of people who seem happy all the time because that means they're hiding something. But the man has never done anything to show he distrusts people just because they're happy. Just listen to some of the stories of happy people after one of his lectures telling him how much he's helped them get their life in order, he about cries over it.
13
@bigrigJim gosh don't you people have anything better to do than come to a video about something you think is stupid and make dumb comments that show your extensive ignorance to the whole world? You God haters are just some miserable folks... But then I guess that makes sense.
11
Yeah you're on the right track... As soon as they started trying to force it, it became a question of govt overreach and ceased being a medical question. Anyone who values freedom over safety should've avoided getting it. Unfortunately, most people were just too caught up in the moment to see the real implications.
11
I understand JBP's frustration... There is something fundamentally incoherent about Malice's viewpoint but he's skilled enough at rhetorical battle that it's hard to pin him down. I think it comes down to anarchy will never work because power will always accumulate with a certain person or group and eventually those people will be evil and control others. It's a law of nature. Once you realize anarchy is as unrealistic as the socialist utopia then you can have a real conversation.

Really appreciated the question about masks. Just stop wearing them. Be true to the feeling inside that tells you no one should be making you cover your face. Period. For any reason. Fortunately, I live in Texas where things are more reasonable, but I simply don't go in stores that try to enforce mask wearing. I'd rather protect my right to control my own body rather than shop at any particular store.
9
@LiveWorkWander yeah it's pretty bad.. honestly if it was anyone but JBP I'd have turned it off about 5 mins in. But he's built up enough goodwill at least with me that I'll chalk it up to being in pain or just being excited or just finally being able to think at speed that he can't help it .. idk, but it's still worth watching
9
@nwchrista remind us exactly what this important information is that he's leaving out that makes him a liar... Seriously, educate us.
8
@TaaviTuisk most doctors don't really know and the rest honestly don't care enough to research more after school because you definitely don't get it in medical school and only slightly get it in pharmacy school. You're on the right track with low carbs... Cut out carbs helps to relieve the immune system from constant activation which can help with all sorts of things like psoriatic, allergies, other autoimmune disorders as well as the obvious things like losing weight and preventing/reversing type 2 diabetes
7
@depreciatingasset non scientific approaches are dangerous? Approaches to what? And how are they dangerous
7
@billsf94131 if you're not interested enough or smart enough to follow what's being said then don't bash it... And no, it literally can't be explained in 15min. And it can't be explained in a YouTube post. Just watch it and pay attention or go back to watching TV and eating Cheetos, no reason to trash talk him.
6
@xitaris5981 he’s saying he’s going to fire 75% of the govt employees lol - I think anyone wanting “revenge” should probably vote for this dude.
6
A world without a transcendent ethical standard is a world in which POWER is all that matters.
6
@alistairmurray626 you faith/religious/mystical haters are so blinded by your hatred that you miss the most important parts because you're "so glad" someone made fun of faith or religion. What a close minded way to walk thru life.
6
Actually there is nothing shallow about noticing someone's physical appearance unless that's literally all you care about... And if you're here watching JBP that's likely not the kind of person you are. Since there are only two kinds of people watching the good doctor... People who actually like to think and understand the world and trolls.
6
AKA..... "Actions speak louder than words"... True stuff
6
@soggybiscotti8425 sorry, I didn't mean China owns Australia... I mean Australia basically turned into an authoritarian country where people are getting arrested or fined for simply leaving their house without permission. As if any law abiding citizen in a free country needs permission to leave the house, go to work, go out to eat, go about their lives as they see fit. You guys BECAME China and while it's obviously not the same thing, but Australia is most definitely not a FREE country at this point since if the citizens aren't free to go about their lives without constant interference from some govt force then they're not free.
6
@LancerFFS yeah you're right... going thru life thinking there's no ultimate standard for anything makes so much sense. Goofball
5
@bobbytheone1694 he's a myogenic prick? I think maybe you meant misogynistic. Maybe just use words that you actually know, you'll look less stupid next time. We'll, you'll still look stupid for calling Jordan a misogynist but at least you won't also look illiterate.
5
@alistairmurray626 I actually didn't expect religion to be brought up at all to tell you that truth... And haven't been able to watch all of it yet. But anyone who's so excited someone gets shut down in your eyes when they bring up faith obviously has a chip on their shoulder. Makes me no difference if you realize it or not. I'm watch it again but I'm fairly certain JP wasn't even using the worth faith in a religious way in that first exchange, but you're obviously triggered by it. Maybe look into why, up to you
5
When we say the Bible is true.... we mean it's true in every sense of the word AND in ways that we can't even conceptualize. Historically true. Morally true. Metaphorically true.
5
@lordfnord5768 the fact that you think what he teaches is "ordinary" means you're either being facetious or you're just extremely privileged in life and have had people in your life teaching you how to think, how to view yourself in the world, etc. Nothing about him is "ordinary" which is why he went from unknown to literally worldwide notariety based on the things he was saying.
5
If ur right then it doesn’t matter if ur alone… I was alone in refusing to wear masks throughout the entire ordeal and I took plenty of derisive comments but it didn’t matter because I knew I was watching a test run of sorts and not an actual medical emergency that they were honestly trying to manage.
5
@giffica no, you're the problem.. go back to Tweeter
5
Yeah I think it was frustrating John there for a little bit, he started getting flustered.
5
Carl is one of those guys that it only takes a couple of sentences from his mouth before you realize he's done psychs and been thinking about these things for a looooong time
5
@zawepygler1223 Protestants don't have obdeince and sacraments? And I'm curious if salvation is only thru the Church how people that live alone, say in the wilderness, could be saved?
4
@kivijatti1500 you're an excellent example of an arrogant, ignorant person who knows so little they don't even know what they don't know... You're the exact thing he's talking about. Just like this physicist who can admit that all the laws and rules we have can't explain the origin of the universe but then says "we KNOW the big bang happened".. I swear these people can't follow a simple argument. You can't both admit that we don't know but that we KNOW.
4
That's because he understands the horror of war and anyone who cheers for it obviously doesn't... But that makes them dangerous, useful idiots for people who want to start a war.
4
@brianbridges8124 my gosh if you just wanna argue then why ask the question in the first place you doofus. I'm well aware lots of people disagree with his interpretation of some parts of the Bible .. but there's no reason to disagree other than people being close minded and having to admit that some random psychologist figured out meanings that "scholars" have missed. He doesn't say anything that's in conflict with Christian orthodoxy - he just gives additional meaning that can be considered and value pulled from it.
4
@VA-gu1jq "the silly flood story" wasn't taken from the epic of Gilgamesh, it's just two different accounts of the same event. Just like there are accounts of the same flood all around the world, even tho none of those civilizations had anything to do with each other... But yeah, it's just a silly flood story. Actually you're just a silly little arrogant person that thinks you know way more than you do.
4
Yeah unfortunately, human history is totally full of people of all types, colors and nationalities being brutalized... This was a hard story to listen to
4
If you're still wondering... Meta just means 'beyond' in a sense or a combination of many parts that is more complete or more true than any single part. Meta-physical would mean things 'beyond' the physical... Or the spiritual in other words. In the scientific world a meta-analysis is an analysis of a lot of other studies (which are, in themselves, analyses) which can summarize all of the data of each of the individual analyses to give one combined data set and conclusion that will give you a more complete and accurate picture of reality. Just like a meta-story is the synthesis of many individual stories that can give you more detail and truth than a single story alone. One more... Imagine taking 100 football games and extracting all of the best plays and then adding all those best plays together to make one amazing game. That game wouldn't be real, but it would be a symbol of a more perfect game than any of the single games. It would be a meta-game. Hope that helps.
4
I feel like this is one of his best ones... Constant stream of high speed, complex ideas
3
"too friendly" to a polite guest that you just happen to disagree with? Lol. It's not like he had on some US politician that's been intentionally destroying the country.. No need to be anything but friendly
3
@brianthom6798 ever heard of history? There's no such thing as a long term, fictional, anarchal society or group. Functional Anarchy is as much a pipedream as "equality"... As soon as the playing field is leveled some people will begin making money and good decisions and others will begin spending everything they have and wasting time, before long there will be rich and poor. Every tribe, every civilization has had a power structure of some sort, because, by default, there will be those with power and those without. The whole point is to try to design a system where no one person or group can accumulate or exercise that power over others (which means there is a structure to prevent that from happening). If u put 100 people on an island, in a matter of days some will emerge as leaders and if those people happen to be evil, they will take advantage. There has to be a system to protect everyone else.
3
I've watched most all of his videos at this point... But this video and series are just when he's on all 12 cylinders to me. Non-stop stream of high level consciousness almost without even a pause.
3
New York has more covid deaths per Capita than either Florida or Tennessee so not sure what you're point is... But apparently you have no idea what you're talking about.
3
People with no brain like you piss me off... The stupid vaccine DOESN'T DO ANYTHING.. there are places with 95% vax rates that are still having covid surges and lockdowns but dipshits like you are still whining about taking a vaccine as if that will change anything .. wake the f up to reality
3
54:03 Poor Attia still stuck on the old myth that “a calorie is a calorie”. The primary damage of junk food isn’t that it highjacks ur appetite, it’s that the body isn’t designed to intake/process those ultra processed foods. Overeating isn’t the only issue - which is why there are tons of people that aren’t overweight and appear healthy on the outside but still end up with heart attacks and strokes. If hormones and the complex machinery inside the human body didn’t exist then, yes, a calorie would be a calorie.
3
@Ruturaj22 yeah in my mind anyone who lived in that world and promoted cancelling people in the past deserves every bit of it when the monster comes for them... It's like communists that persecuted people but then they got thrown in the gulag also. If they don't suffer the consequences of what they preached they'll never learn what they did wrong.
3
It's a shame he believes in Darwinism. I wonder if his view has changed with the mathematical and biological arguments presented by the likes of Stephen Meyers who irrefutably proves Darwin may have been able to explain small intraspecies changes not the origin of the species
3
It’s weird how that happens huh - hope you do dwell on it like you said and seek out answers to the questions you may not even realize you have yet. Enjoy the journey.
3
@Moseyoninn gosh.. What now?
3
@Erika Rouby yeah while many stores had people offering masks throughout the whole thing I just simply said no thanks and kept walking. Only had one store tell me I have to wear one, a high end outdoor/clothing store. I just told them I'll take my money somewhere else and went and bought what I was looking for from Bass Pro with no one whining about masks. It was really just the small businesses that hurt themselves around here because the large places didn't really do much about it.
3
Sorry but you do realize some people don't have a choice right? Saying the only rule is don't ever get divorced is just denying the world we live instead of giving people useful advice.
3
@tangentsmith2961 yeah Western brainwashing... Good advice... Read books and stuff.
3
@Rhodiac people aren't getting fined and or arrested for doing normal things like leaving their home? Not wearing a mask? I've seen on more than one occasion your leaders talking about how you all might finally "get your freedoms back" once they feel like covid is under control. All the videos of riots and stuff not true? Victoria has limits on how far you can go from your house and for what reasons or is that untrue also? Businesses still mostly shutdown or very recently allowed to open or another falsehood?
3
@SteinbrecherBack the fight wasn't to keep the bill from passing honestly, it was to wake people up, which it's definitely done. I'm sure he never really thought he'd change the mind of the Leftys that were trying to pass the law, he's not that naive. He's doing much more good than simply stopping that stupid law.
2
@zawepygler1223 what? Nevermind. I didn't realize you were going to start talking about Jews lost in the wilderness
2
If the yin/yang represents "balanced" order then what exactly is that order balanced with if not with "disorder" or chaos? I think you maybe just have a word game on your hands but chaos and order is just a different way of saying "balanced order".
2
Yeah you very obviously don't understand what he's saying or who he is if you think he's encouraging people to become their own gods or that he's equating Disney movies with the Bible...
2
@steven5054 haha you think Petersen is arrogant/haughty? You must just be one of the always present JBP haters that's in every comment section... Do you people actually waste your time coming here just to bitch or are you all bots?
2
@Uzeil21 aaannddd... You beat me to it. Time is what immediately came to mind. Mathematics is only an invention to help describe and discover the physical world so using it to explain ideas outside of this physical world is always dangerous.
2
I mean who knows for sure... But I think the whole point of that is just that He told man to eat plants with seeds because if a plant has seeds then it'll reproduce on its own so they wouldn't run out. Plus He told man that before the Fall.. so makes sense that once humans were no longer immortal then the aging process began, which allowed for there to be things that affect that process as poison. Super interesting to think about
2
@WizzRacing yeah I realized when I was going thru pharmacy school when the tuition literally doubled from my first year to fourth year... But guess what, the govt would just keep increasing the amount they would loan you. It's total collusion between university and govt crooks.
2
"reasonable timeline" for lifting mask mandates? The only reasonable timeline is to lift it effective immediately.
2
@robertholland7558 yes and you're free to argue that and many people have... But the problem is that right and wrong, good and bad HAVE to be based on something that doesn't change or else who am I to say murder is bad when you can just say it's good? This is the most simple way to say it - if you accept that there is such a thing as right and wrong, then there has to be a source for that information - if the source is anything based on humans than by what authority can anything be called right or wrong when humans disagree on everything?
2
@angry Ted... Where you go? Lmao... You're a fool. Everyone from Biden to Pfizer was telling everyone that "you won't get COVID if you're vaccinated"... Total lies. Stop trying to rewrite history.
2
@justinwyatt8 that’s utterly ridiculous lol - try thinking thru what you just said and take it to its logical conclusions and you’ll see why
2
You freaking YouTube archeologists are really something lol
2
@JesusNOTreLIEgion so what? So the man is providing a service and information that's pretty much unique at this point and is helping millions do better in life... Why shouldn't he be able to financially benefit from it?
2
@dr.badass702 probably the same place that Elon’s engineering PhD is… nowhere, because it’s irrelevant.
2
Yeah he specifically says it’s a PSYCHOLOGICAL interpretation of the Bíblical stories and never claims to be interpreting it in a purely religious way or that he’s teaching the Bible as a Priest. Do u not realize that the text has infinite levels of meaning and just because he isn’t mentioning the meaning that you’re familiar with doesn’t mean he’s wrong? A lifetime of listening to Preachers/Elders and Peterson has shed light on meaning that I’ve never heard - but I’m sure you know better right? Lol open your mind and take it for what’s worth rather than thinking you know better.
2
@ozowen5961 evolution from one species to another and from creatures with no conscious thought to creatures with conscious thought haven't been proven so you can't sit there and say the mechanism is the only thing unproven, that's simply wrong. If you were as smart as you think you are then you'd realize there's actually a good reason things in science are called theories... It's because much smarter people than you realized that nearly every single thing we've considered as fact at one time or another has been proven wrong upon getting more information. Evolution is no different and anyone that defends it as if it's proven fact and thinks the discussion of alternate ideas is a waste of time isn't interested in science, they're interested in dogma.
2
Same.
2
I agree with Mike on most major issues. Except for things like him proposing bills to bring in more foreign labor during a pandemic when Americans are out of work. He's far too in bed with Big Tech to be relied upon. He needs more "America First" and less "huge global corporations" first.
2
S T good points... I think it's not that easy to get paid to do because it's really the job of parents and grandparents.... Which can't really happen as well in broken families. Probably one of the reasons JP is always talking about how devastating divorce is for children.
2
Crenshaw is a FAKE conservative. The W.E.F. likes him and he can't stand people like MTG, who's about as real a person as it gets. I've always thought there was something sleezy about him
1
@angeshtuto yeah I guess Malice is promoting a ridiculous idea, but at least it's an idea that includes LESS govt, less rules and less centralized power.. Which are all good things at this point so I don't mind people giving him a platform. I'd much rather listen to him than someone like Karl Rove or Eric "China" Swallwell or some other establishment mouthpiece that's got us in this situation we're in now.
1
just go back a few hundred years when 0.1% of the population owned 99% of the wealth.... 10 million people so poor they can't eat and 2 famlies living in castles and eating lobster and lamb every day. Anyone who thinks we have some disastrous wealth inequality just doesn't know history
1
Might wanna skip Australia... Wouldn't want you to end up in a concentration...I mean quarantine camp.
1
@RealLimerickman dude no one gives af about that
1
After Skool + JBP?.... This should be like a weekly or monthly collab for sure!!!
1
Yeah face tattoos in a tattoo parlor are the same thing as legitimate medical professionals mutilating children in the name of science. Come on, that’s an utterly ridiculous argument. Hurwitz, for being an intelligent guy, is great at false equivalencies.
1
@Chris George ikr.... Awkward.
1
When unbelievers finally realize or discover or accept that there is, in fact, an ultimate truth that is unchangeable, then it's very hard to not end up believing in God or at least a higher intelligence unless that person purposefully denies logic and just refuses to work out where that belief leads.
1
1:02:18 - yes, he doesn’t know how to explain it because he still thinks a calorie is a calorie. Attia is so stuck on only believing what he’s read in a paper that he can’t just use common sense and reason backwards to a hypothesis. Evidence based practice is great, but if you’re too strict on that then you’ll always be years behind the most current CORRECT ideas out there.
1
@hezkyden Anglican.. not Anglichan
1
Hasn’t been done and there’s no public announcement that it’s even on his schedule so who knows
1
Gosh this was a good one. Thanks, Dr. P!
1
JBP is a good example of how one must arrive at belief in God if they follow their ideas to their logical conclusions without making excuses and making assumptions that they don't recognize.
1
@downwithputinsaveukraine1313 if you think all Peterson does is ramble on then you honestly either haven't listened to him or can't comprehend what he's saying... Maybe try reading some decent books and coming back and listening again? Keep trying little guy, we have faith in you!!!!!
1
I think it's clear from the last few talks that JBP is back to 100 % of his old self when it comes to constant stream of consciousness.... great stuff. Hope Exodus is coming soon!
1
Yeah they're definitely not Capitalists.... Seeing as how the product they put out has nothing to do with their profit margins because the profit is controlled by politicians instead of customers
1
@WizzRacing yeah at this point I tell kids that they need to either go for a professional degree/MD/JD/PharmD or else just skip college altogether and learn a trade or two and get to work
1
@WizzRacing exactly... Medicine, law, engineering, sales .. they're always in demand
1
@ozowen5961 oh please, there's a ton of evidence there was a global or at least near global flood all at the same time... U talk like you were there and no it never happened for sure.
1
He didn't actually say the flood didn't happen... He said the story had to make sense to everyone so it was written in a way to be both literally true but to also have a much deeper meaning and no matter which way you look at it the story is true in every sense of the word. Or at least that's what I think he meant but he did leave some ambiguity in it.
1
@ozowen5961 yeah just like the "facts" showed masks protected everyone from covid... Except they didn't. Anyone who thinks there's definitive evidnce a great flood didn't happen is just arrogant or ignorant. Epic of Gilgamesh, sediment layers spread across large distances, sea fossils found on the tops of mountains, large graveyards of fossils that indicate large flood. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. You're not worth talking to if you think you know without a doubt that there was no flood 7500 years ago. Go read some books.
1
@ozowen5961 masks aren't an issue... The point is arrogant dipshits like you who think you KNOW things are constantly proven wrong as time goes on so to say "the flood definitively didn't happen" is just a childish and moronic thing to say. Maybe one day you'll grow up.
1
@ozowen5961 I know plenty about science, which is why I'm not arrogant enough to claim something 7500 years absolutely did not happen when there have hundreds of things people said absolutely never happened or didn't exist in the Bible only for science to finally catch up and have to admit it was wrong. But go ahead and arrogantly think you know everything, it'll eventually make a fool out of you.
1
@ozowen5961 let me guess, you think it's a fact that the entire universe started with a big bang and everything we see now is just random assemblies of atoms.. cuz science
1
@ozowen5961 likewise I've always admired people that think using big words to make an ad hominem attack think it somehow makes it valid. Well done you. You embody the arrogance that is always the downfall of 'intellect'.
1
@ozowen5961 "are u deranged" "so learn some science".. every comment has a phrase intended to make me sound like an idiot, those are ad hominem attacks. I know what an argument from incredulity means but that had nothing to do with my argument so ignored it. You are an embodiment of the arrogance that the entire "intelligent" elite exhibit on a daily basis. Think you know everything, know nothing. This is a waste of my time.
1
@npanic628 so you're assertion is that : bad things happen in the world, therefore, God can't exist. First of all, if there is no God then why do you assume a child getting cancer is bad? Maybe it's a fact and neither good, not bad apart from their immediate families missing them? What objective reason do you have that it's bad in some universal sense? Would it be bad for a child to die of cancer when they live in a household where they were being abused? You have a very simple view of things and would do well to listen and think more and talk less unless you're asking genuine questions.
1
@npanic628 you can't even see your own fallacy or misunderstanding.... You admit that a child dying of cancer while being abused might not be as bad as it first seemed without context. In a world where there was a God and heaven and hell... What makes you think human suffering is somehow bad in an eternal sense when you don't even understand the context? If letting humans suffer resulted in people turning to God and avoiding eternal hell does that mean the suffering was "bad". Like I said... You're a simple minded person who has unfortunately made up your mind based on some perceived logical fallacy. Good luck.
1
@robertholland7558 so you think moral right and wrongs are constantly changing? Then it's just whatever they majority agrees too is right and wrong? Who gets to determine when it changes? Who are you to say "harm to others" is morally wrong? If we elected some crooked politicians that made it legal to beat your wife with a baseball bat, would that make it morally right because society decided it wasn't bad?
1
Evolved Primate oh please
1
@nat0101 JBP has specifically said Harris is just still too close minded to understand anything that science can't explain, which is still a near infinite amount of information. If anything, JBP has come closer to being a Believer.
1
@nat0101 your comment isn't very clearly stated so not entirely sure but you're calling religion illogical, morally reprehensible, etc?
1
@nat0101 oh ok... You're one of those people that refuses or is unable to see history in the context of historical norms and practices. Literally EVERY civilization had slaves for nearly the entirety of human history. Had you been born 2000 years ago, you would've likely been a slave, owned slaves or worked around slaves. People like you are so simple minded, maybe one day you'll learn enough to realize how much you don't know. "Well slavery is bad. They did slavery. Must be bad." Totally Ignoring the reality of human history.
1
@PopularDemand1000 he’s a troll and has no explanation
1
We’re talking about people who are ACTIVELY MUTILATING AND DESTROYING THE LIVES OF CHILDREN. Niceties and “compassion” is what lead us this place. This is the time for hard language and hard action or else the slide into chaos will only be slightly slowed instead of stopped and reversed. We’re a society who is willingly mutilating the bodies of innocent children under the guise of “medicine”. Just let that sink in.
1
Yeah whatever
1
If this guest has narrated his own audiobooks I'm getting every single one. Lol. Such a great chat
1
There are only two kinds of people in this world... People who never admit they're wrong and thus live their entire lives in error... And then people like Africa, who have the honesty and integrity to just open their minds, accept their faults and CHANGE THEM.
1
Bit of advice... The only "lousy" Christian is the one who stops trying to make themselves more like the perfect example of Christ. Being a sinful human doesn't exclude one from being a Christian, it is, in fact, a prerequisite. Believe on Him, seek to learn what that can mean in your life, treat people around you as if they are all made in His image and have the divine spark of consciousness and being inside them because they do. Also... I don't think it was a coincidence at all that you found bagel money in the parking lot. Cheers!!
1
100% hit the nail on the head... No one has time to be offended about everything and decide to switch genders when they are having to hunt for food, fight for survival. It's just another religion that eats itself.
1
He realizes the Quran was written by a false prophet so you’ll never see him do a lecture series on it
1
Christianity led us to our problems with Socialism? Please elaborate...
1
@brianbridges8124 here's how I would explain it, and I've listened to every Bible lecture multiple times - assume the Bible was uttered by God, which means there should be layers upon layers of meaning - JP shined a light on the layers of symbolism that I've never heard in a church or other setting. I didn't hear anything that was contradictory to what I thought about the Bible, but it def added to what I knew in ways I had never considered.
1
@JesusNOTreLIEgion same to you man...
1
@lours6993 New Jersey is #4 and locked down hard... The fact is that you're totally wrong that 9 out of the top 10 had no lock downs to speak of. The least locked down states are #17 and 27, not anywhere near the top and they're states with huge Metro areas of high pop density. The fact is that lock downs did absolutely nothing to slow the spread or reduce deaths. It did nothing but trample people's freedom for zero benefit and looking at the evidence it did a TON of damage in terms of things like a 25% increase in child hood obesity over the last 2 years and the number of overdoses/suicides.

This poor woman is so scared. She needs to stop "respecting" the process and confidentiality of this bullshit and start going public and fighting these social terrorists with fire

@r13hd22 hard to say you have intellectual freedom when you think someone taking lessons from a religious text means he’s no longer a real intellectual- lol - ur a simple minded person that I’m sure thinks Sam Harris is peak intellectual honesty.

It's awesome to see Berry describe how TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) affected everyone at the NYT. She tells how they literally took every opposite position of Trump just because he was Trump. Those people are EXACTLY like people that believed Hitler just because he was Hitler. Zero logic, zero science, zero ethics... Just Orange man bad.

Try to start a new political party now and you'll just get thrown in covid camp... I was called a conspiracy theorist for saying those would happen and now they're a reality in Australia and effectively the case in Canada in some places. New York is trying to pass a law giving the governor carte blanche to have anyone forcing removed and taken to a "facility" if they're deemed to be a public health threat. Unfortunately, the West is beyond voting or protesting our way out of the authoritarian communism that's taken hold.

Corn is a grain you reward retard and that detail unimportant so trying to correct him is a waste of time

@zahif1491 one FEELING privileged is literally the sign of someone who isn't "privileged". You freaking racists thinking white guys are privileged don't even understand what privilege is.
1
LUCA SAIYAJIN oh absolutely... And so is rich privilege, in fact being rich confers way more benefits than just being good looking. Being a good looking female might get you out of a ticket but being very wealthy can get you out of a murder charge. Fact is that people who think they can eliminate any advantages people may have aren't living in reality. The only way to equality of outcome is for everyone to be the same amount of miserable and poor. Except of course for the rich politicians like AOC and the rest of them wanting to take guns and money from everyone while she uses money to pay for private security.

Like he says in this lecture... When he lectures he's literally just thinking thru the topic, which I think is why it seems so unscripted, because he follows his minds wanderings, but he's put so much time into thinking about these topics that he's mostly just "rethinking" down each line of argument then trying to go further each time.. Very interesting method

@TheRealJackRyan ridiculously ignorant comment

@NotDuncan I don't think the word means what you think it means

@brennanmcdonnell9343 I have no sympathy for Leftists that get cancelled unless they take the opportunity to denounce ALL of their foundational, Leftist, authoritarian beliefs that led to cancel culture in the first place. Dave Rubin is such a person - was a Leftist that got cancelled and was smart enough to realize the entire way he thought was the problem, not just the symptom of cancel culture. Nothing I have seen makes it look like Berry is anything but a Leftist that now hates cancel culture, but it's not like I'm a Berry Weiss fan so I haven't seen or read everything about her.
1
@SaveTheImage I didn't throw her anywhere - like I said in the previous comment, if she has arrived at a point of realizing that her Leftist beliefs are the problem and not cancel culture then I'm all for redemption.. but if she's just another Leftist who still agrees with 99.9% of the Leftist BS that manifests itself as cancel culture then she can rot in "cancellation land".
1
@dogperson432 if you think letting people deal with the consequences of their own actions is the same as personally going after and trying to ruin the lives of innocent people then no, you're exactly like them because you apparently can't think thru a logical argument to save your life. I'm nothing like them, I just believe at some point if people never suffer the consequences of their own actions and beliefs then they will never see that it's those same actions and beliefs that got the country where it is.
1
@Jebediah Hunter ok yeah I agree, Shapiro is definitely Jooish before anything else and refuses to even discuss the Israel lobby which makes me want to question it even more. But I got a DW sub for the sole reason that JBP started his Exodus discussions and it’s been worth every dime then some. He made a good move teaming up with them I think but time will tell.
1
Congrats... Some people, like Harris, can't see past their own intelligence into a realm where logic and reason are present, but they don't tell you the WHOLE story. Like you said, it would be impossible to replicate the fullness or transcendent nature of JBP's lecture series without using the spiritual/religious/mystical.
1
@Mo74mmad yeah unfortunately the theory of evolution became the dogma of evolution. Even Darwin realized it left some big things unanswered and all these years later it still doesn't answer some very important questions.
1
@ozowen5961 oh dang... Excellent argument. "Evolution is explained by the theory of evolution, which is just a theory but treated as proven, irrefutable fact"... Yeah I added that last part but that's effectively how you people think.
1
@ozowen5961 lmao... You're just like the scientists in the 90's that thought it was SETTLED SCIENCE that glial cells were just the "glue" in the brain and that's pretty much all they did... I swear you arrogant, half educated, dogmatic morons are what halts actual progess in science because you can't think past your own closely held, precious theories. Like I said, science can't even explain what consciousness is and simpletons like you are claiming to know, without a doubt, how life came to be on the planet. How small minded and sad. All you people have is asking "it's proven", "it's fact", "you're stupid for questioning settled science*... The last words of arrogant people who forgot how much you DON'T know about the world.
1
@ozowen5961 u literally can't even explain how and why the consciousness in your OWN BRAIN works but your arrogance makes you think you can explain the every living thing on earth and how they came to be. Not sure there's a better example of utter arrogance. Piss off

@33bb33bb I'm not Jewish in faith or ethnicity... Is Rabbi Yeshua the same as Jesus and you believe he was a human prophet that gave his life to get the message out and not in any sort ultimate sacrifice to save sinners as he was also God? (Text always comes across weird but this is just an honest question, no sarcasm or disrespect meant).
1
@33bb33bb doesn't seem to be from the Bible... Where can I learn more about God as you speak of him? What belief system are you describing?
1
@33bb33bb I associate "Christian" to be someone that roughly believes what is commonly known as "The Bible"... God created everything, there were profits, Jesus was God made into man who died "for our sins" etc etc... What you're describing doesn't sound like anything I've read in the bible or any other religious book so I'm just trying to get a handle on what you're talking about, I'm genuinely curious because we obviously agree on some things but some maybe not. Is there a book that describes what you believe or do you just take all information and this is your personal understanding of the truth?

I love the YouTube warning about climate change... If there could be anything more ironic

If there was no federal govt with any significant power then huge companies like Amazon or Facebook wouldn't exist... Which would solve most of the problems of capitalism. There is no way to solve the problems of socialism

Piers got sliced by Farage and got butthurt about it - he engaged in the propaganda about Trump, saying things without proper context and Farage knew it and called him out. Get over it Piers. You got got. lol
1
@justine... Do some more looking into what conservatives really think and you'll see that the stereotypes put forward in media are totally wrong. Glad you have the intelligence and open-mindedness to watch someone who you should disagree with, but that's the more important thing, not D or R.
1
 @graham6132 yeah he's a total fake and no one knows what he's talking about... lol.

It's human nature fellas. Evil is often describes as the darkness and good, the light. Like darkness, evil takes no effort and is the default state of humankind as a whole, maybe not as individuals. Goodness takes constant vigilance, effort and courage. The Western world has simply become complacent, again, human nature, and the evil has gained ground. Great interview!!!
1
@millacolic so you're entire comment was about how you didn't like my comment because it was negative... But your comment didn't really have a point other than you think I should've said something different. Seems like maybe you should just mind your own business instead of trying to police YouTube comments and convince people they are living wrong and should be more positive. Good day.
1
@georgealanthompson my gosh it's so obvious if you just read the thread but I'll explain so you can understand... OP: makes comment about how successful, relatable and dedicated to actually teaching people J Peterson is JG: makes comment as if JP is really just a retard (in the old sense of the word) when he's clearly not Me: makes comment about the hater who's spouting non-sense with no proof of what he's saying You and the other one: whining because I made a comment about the hater right above my comment that you two missed or disagreed with. Me: makes comment explaining. Hope that helps. It was a YouTube comment on another comment guys, it wasn't meant to include me every feeling about this video, obviously. If you don't like it just move along.
1
@georgealanthompson yes I'm sure I missed the argument... You both said I needed to be specific about the haters I was talking about and I explained exactly what my comment meant.. if you don't like that then not sure what to tell you

@harkyo boy do you really think only people who can read can be Christians? lol

Gosh John started out with a BANG!!!

Dang didn’t expect this level of honesty from Newt - it’s clear he didn’t hold back for fear of pissing off fellow Republicans. His evaluation of the Republican Party as just being a vehicle for accumulating wealth and “managing” the existing bureaucracy was pretty spot on and surprising coming from him. Impressive - and I’ve never been a Newt fan

All of current humanity's technology and intelligence can't figure out exactly how or why the Great Pyramids were built.... But scientists still think they can say, with 100% certainty, how and when the universe came into existence. In fact, they're so sure of themselves that even questioning their theories is met with name calling and dismissal from the conversation. The same people that preach "think outside the box" in their particular fields refuse to do so in the rest of their lives.
1
Hurwirtz is just plain wrong - he’s wrong in that JBP is “driving polarization “ when in reality he’s simply speaking the truth. He’s so far Left that he can’t accept the fact that people like Ellen Page promoting her mental illness is something that HAS to be answered when it’s being promoted. He called Twitter a game and not real, which means he shouldn’t be upset when JP speaks the truth, or else it is real and Ellen Page is responsible for pushing the psychopathy of society

Christ said he was God in the Bible so why does Islam consider him a prophet instead of a heretic?
1
@OmAr_Kh21. my previous message was messed up. I understand what you're saying. Are the parts of the Bible where Jesus claims to be God considered just corruptions or what?

@michaelbaumert4501 what is it about the other that causes them to view each other as "wrong"? like is there one major thing?

The guy at the end asking what happens when places like YouTube start censoring people they don't like... Welcome to 2021, here's what it's like.
1
well that's the conservatives are the only ones left that believe in individual freedom and "free" markets - everyone Left of conservatives just want massive govt, communist/socialist policies, cancel culture, kids learning about gay sex at 4yrs old, etc etc... you just have enough common sense to stop voting for them -
1
I'm glad JP called him out on the "people are always seeking good even when they're doing evil stuff"... That's intuitively wrong. So many people do evil things JUST to hurt someone else. They know nothing good will come from it. It's almost so blatantly false I wonder how the good father can think it.
1
Bret .. the KEY to controlling it is using SCIENCE to treat early and often, especially in vulnerable populations because there are very effective treatments. And you're still talking about we should've locked down more... We should've stopped moving around more. We should've used track and trace (yeah cuz we all trust the govt). People on the Left side of the aisle decided to let people die and ban anyone from talking about effective treatments that could've literally saved hundreds of thousands of people with zero lockdown, zero masks, zero civil liberty given up. Look at the data of mask mandates vs case numbers, it proves without a doubt that masks make zero difference. Even the CDC said they decrease cases by the less than TWO%. My gosh
1
@spiderqueen601 I feel like systemic racism is gone and the pendulum has swung the other direction..... If anything, minorites are given extra "stuff" just for being minorities at this point. Were there laws and practices that were racist in the past that changed lives in ways that will echo for likely hundreds of years? Yeah. Are there racist laws or regulations that are keeping minorities down now? Quite the opposite. It's acceptable now to denigrate and deny whites anything from jobs to awards or promotions just because they're white or make white jokes or say racist anti-white things. Do that to a minority or even speak of it happening and you risk losing your job and having your life destroyed. Do you have any proof of current systemic racism? Sincerely asking.

@ozowen5961 my gosh... You again? Are you in some kind of "There was no global flood" cult or what?

Man the US is getting bad but Canada has really just become a communist shithole throughout the pandemic... The govt threatening people with jail time if they dare leave their home after curfew, people being taken away to undisclosed "quarantine" locations and a rampant wave of cancel culture, which is just a modern name for what the communists called purging. It's too bad that Canada and America have more immigrants like this lady that realize what's going on than natives that don't even value their own freedom.
1
Trump can’t afford to stop - the swamp is trying to throw him under the jail. Unless of course Vivek wins and makes good of the pardon. But Trump isn’t a quitter - he’ll grind it out.
1
this is something that took me a long time to realize because I think naturally honesty/blunt people don't normally think about manipulating people... they focus on getting things done. But he's 100% right, if you outshine the wrong master, you WILL pay.
1
JBP is really an American that was born in Canada.... Come on and move down here where you belong doc.
1
I’m just a random dude on YouTube so…. But sounds like you’re probably an intelligent guy that needs to accept that there are rules to life - such as the principles in the Bible. If you think positively while abiding by those principles you’ll figure it out.
1
I think I'm as unsatisfied as JP with the answer on evolution vs. Bible... Currently you have to believe one or the other it seems and I've yet to see anyone explain them other than "the Bible isn't supposed to be taken scientifically".. OR... "Evolution is totally wrong and the the universe is 15k yr old".. I'm not crazy about either one.
1
@plousia I'll give it a goo... But I have yet to see anyone make an airtight case for either so I'm secretly routing for a third option that no one has thought about.
1
@plousia just watched an interview with Meyer and you're right, he explains things I knew but couldn't articulate. The athiests just have no explanation for certain huge questions such as the actual beginning of life and the origin of consciousness. And just saying "they just happen with enough time" is a ridiculously ignorant explanation.
1
C. Michael yeah makes total sense... So it must also be women's fault that they were treated like property for most of history since it was done pretty much by every civilization. Might be a good time to realize you're an anti-semite and do something to correct it.
1
It's very clear. No one who values freedom and a civil society should be sending their kids to a university or seek employment at these places. Starve them of both income and staff and they'll disappear or stop being communists.
1
@soggybiscotti8425 yeah sorry bro... I think you're actually part of the problem if you think restricting people from going further than 25km from their home if reasonable or forcing vax passports or throwing people in quarantine camps against their will and then making them sit there all day waiting to be fed like dogs. There are literally thousands of videos of people being arrested for not wearing a mask or not following other draconian, authoritarian, China-esque rules so it's pretty unbelievable when you're telling me everything is fine. Any time an elected leader has to say "If you'll obey these rules, then maybe we'll give you some of your freedoms back" in reference to a guy who left his house to drive around and get some air, then you're not in a free country anymore. Maybe it's just hard for you to see from the inside.. Idk. If it was a random video or news story it'd be easy to disregard but literally hundreds over the last few months. I'm glad you feel like everything is fine tho, at least you like your servitude. Like you said you've "gotten rid of COVID multiple times"... Yes, that's because getting rid of COVID is unreasonable unless you people intend on living locked down for the rest of your lives, covid isn't going away.. Ever. Anyway... Good chat! Thanks for giving me your POV
1
@TheGreatOldOak thanks... I started to question myself but then just scrolled through 50 videos of things like a mom getting arrested for not wearing a mask while her kids were watching. Those Aussies love being told what to do I guess, but then again they used to be a penal colony under a Monarch so I guess it's just cultural.
1
@Jason Wu if you can't see the accelerated authoritarian shift in Australia since the pandemic began you're not paying attention... Obviously I don't have Australia became exactly like China in 18 months but it took a huge leap towards big govt oppression.
1
@Jason Wu yeah well when Victoria is the second largest state and has something like 1/4 of the entire population it really doesn't matter if it's federal or state... Still authoritarian, still trampling the rights of 5 million people, still a very slippery slope. The defense is "oh don't worry it's just the state authorities going nuts not the entire federal govt"... Lol
1
@Rhodiac watched some "leader" in Australia telling everyone if they don't get a vaccine by Nov 13th then they're getting fined $5000 and can't go back to work... But yeah, idk anything about Australia. Love your servitude you sheep.
