Recorded on April 20, 2022, as part of a Classical Liberalism Seminar at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University.

By any measure, Dr. Jordan Peterson is the most famous (now former—as is discussed in this interview) Canadian professor of clinical psychology in the world. He’s also a deep thinker and a best-selling author of multiple books, and has amassed a huge following through podcasts, YouTube videos, and public speaking. Today, Jordan Peterson is one of the most influential voices in the “anti-woke” movement and this powerful interview demonstrates why.

    Peter Robinson is the pinnacle of interviewing. His preparation, his ability to cut to the heart of the meter, represent the audience reaction, and to gently steer the conversation and then simply stay silent and allow his guest to speak is fantastic. He’s protestations of ignorance and stupidity are funny but, truly he is a master. Love his conversations and this one is a peach.
  • I swear, evertime i listen to this man talk, i learn something new about the world and myself simultaneously.
  • @thorbeorn4295
    One of the greatest men alive right now. God bless Dr. Peterson.
  • @puttervids472
    If world leaders had half the deduction and reasoning skills of this man. Well. We’d not have the issues we have.

    Finally. Peter Robinson is the best interviewer and it’s about time Jordan Peterson was interviewed by someone on his level or higher.

    This is Jordan in his prime. Giving goosebumps with every thought he articulates. Dear God, bless him and keep him safe. WE. NEED. HIM.
  • While I don't 'identify' as conservative, I agree with a lot of what Dr. Peterson says. There is room for nuance and discussion and differing views in a healthy democracy. As a Canadian, divide and conquer has been a tactic of our federal government, very disheartening to experience.
  • @akamai3125
    Actually brought to tears when he started crying. I don't see it, but I totally believe that kids and people my age or younger are being fed that they're a virus on the earth. And that would be very demoralizing. Such a conversation
  • The irony in my watching this when I did is that 2 minutes prior, I watched a news item reporting on suicides in those under 22 in astronomical numbers never before seen. The last 2 minutes of this discussion answered a lot of the reasons why.
  • @lison973
    As Peterson gets older he gets more emotional and I’m here for it. There’s nothing more important than fighting for what you believe.
  • @InspiredbyJM
    What an ending. The entire interview was phenomenal. I loved the quote " those who believe nothing, will believe in anything". Fascinating indeed.
  • @keitonguan862
    As a Chinese, it hits me hard when Jordan said "a wealthy slave, that's no life man". Have been learning a lot about life from Jordan Peterson. Thank you sir.

    I’d love to see an interview with Dr Peterson and Dr Sowell, that would be amazing
  • @Stefluxuries
    When Jordan Peterson, takes few moments to think about what he is trying to say is nothing but an absolute proof that this genius is so humble and is willing to spread GOOD in the world. Thank you sir!
  • Very little of what Dr. Peterson does is devoid of meaning and I cherish every scrap of thought and wisdom that he is so generous to share, but this was extraordinary.
  • @justsayingtoday
    In his voice I have heard the pain of someone who wholehearted enjoyed his students and the opportunity to teach.
  • @ShebaCasper
    This was one of the most brain expanding discussions I have ever heard. Oh how I wish most of society could think.
  • @ShleppTV
    He always brings me to tears. I cry with him. I get angry with him. Learn from him and I constantly nod my head with him. It's like the light bulb inside my brain that is already on just gets more voltage and shines brighter very few do this, but then it's like my heart opens up to the inherent truth and that's just so mind-blowing because what he has done like it or not is confirmed that what I know to be true, what I feel to be true, what is actually true... IS TRUE and with the fundemtal removal of lingering doubt that has cursed so many of us, A seed sown by the one who wishes to undermine the very highest value and the deepest truth (call him what you wish he goes by many names) I'm once again set free by the truth which like many others I did not even know I had lost. Thank you JP and thank you for such an insightful, challenging, compelling and real interview. Wow.
