It has some great ideas and pretty much somesup every thing. Watch little bit longer as he goes from one subject to another and then come back to point.
He is clinical physiologist and he has good depth of this kind of subject and I'm not right person to translate his views. But what I get is this
"Life is sacrifice at every level (He quotes and decipher bibles story) and you have to sacrifice the some things for your family and loved ones"
But I feel these above lines do not do justice for the video as I said it has so much to get and everyone has their own perspective to get the things.
Sure you might disagree with me or him but you have your own perspective and you should decipher the meaning by yourself.
But his identity politics argument and his equality of outcome is very true. In my country I am seeing the consequence of identity politics and groupism. Everyday lot of people being violent and some time it leads to deaths and lynching.
Another thing in my country is some group have certain quotas (equality of outcome) which leads to degraded products and performance and competent people are being ignored which can contribute much better.
Other than that I find some of his interview thought provoking.
How does that bring anything to the table ? I doubt 99% of the population would be as interesting if they gave speeches.
There are only a handful of people knowing their shit and sharing it in public for free. I don't see many people running around saying "Yoh Plato is shit no one should ever listen to him" even if they don't agree with his views.
Did you actually study him, as you seem to imply by making such strong statements ? I don't agree with a lot of his points but I have to admit that he has very interesting things to say about postmodernism, personal meaning, religions, &c. and as far as I know no one else is addressing these issues with that kind of depth in these days.
You can't have it both ways. If you are trying to "decipher and get" his thoughts how do you know he has a "profound and deep" understanding?
>> Sure you might disagree with me or him but you have your own perspective and you should decipher the meaning by yourself.
This is a discussion. The above sounds like you are prostelizing or advertising without participating.
1) Making sacrifice for Loved ones by giving priority to them instead of career.
2) Making sacrifice in personal lives(like children and your home duties) for greater good or humanity (giving priority to career).
Also he is saying lot of things about religious believes and stories which I am unaware of because I do not belong to same religion.
I can not make argument for you. It's very sensitive and deep topic and you should think and priorities as per your free will.
Everybody is responsible and capable of making their own decisions. We should listen to everybody but should take action as per our own beliefs and value.
Edit: I did not posted this because I am advertising him. I find it interesting and thought provoking as god(it might be made up) asks for sacrifice and we need to sacrifice to find our true-self.
If you are not able to summarize and explain someone else's point, then you don't actually grasp it intellectually. You only have a sense for it emotionally, and that is the fundamental problem with Jordan Peterson and his bread and butter. He preaches, not makes logical arguments, and is attractive to an emotional audience. Which is ironic given his premise.
