If you want to see a person's true self, give them power over others.

“Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.” ― Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight

I wish I could attend a class by this man.

The nerve of turning up to a J.P. lecture late :p

"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?" Aleksandr Szolzhenitzen, "The Gulag Archipelago" This is what Professor Peterson is saying.

Got sober and found Peterson at 2yrs sober. He was the father figure I needed. Telling me things about my nature in such an articulate way has really helped me grow.

I've met people (mostly men) who have sold their daughters into the sex trade. Not because they were poor, but because they didn't want to work. I kept hearing a saying that was repeated in Thailand amongst the men. "If you have a daughter, you will never have to work again." I've met a 10-year old that stabbed his 7-year-old brother to death. I've been inside a Cambodian death camp (that still has blood stains on the walls and floor) as well as the killing fields. I work eveyday with boys who either have been raped or are rapists themselves. People who that say evil doesn't exist are usually sheltered academics. That have not only never seen an evil act, but have never met an evil person. Only safe philosophies think otherwise.

This reminds me of the time I burned my bacon. To lose something so wonderful, so precious due to negligence... I had to face right then and there that I am capable of horrible things.

"You have to talk to people you disagree with" Well, that is how I started watching JP videos and he helped me alot.

It is easy being good when you have everything you need....I never trust people who are not under duress....to test the morality of a person it must be put under pressure to see if it cracks....So many say they would never steal or kill, but under duress most would kill without hesitation. Being moral when we live in luxury is easy.

There's not a chance in hell you'd catch me fiddling with a computer while at a Peterson lecture.

These students are so lucky to have a professor like him

This was me during primary school, I was so oppressed not only by the students in class but the teacher also that I was afraid when I had to speak up because they would critique every single one of my actions. I sometimes went to church and I prayed to god that one of the bullies would die a horrible death when I was 8-11 years old. None of the teachers intervened because I lived in a small community and there would be to much trouble removing some of them from class. If you have children and they have trouble with speaking up for themselves, please teach them to speak up for themselves and be more masculine otherwise their suffering might be unbearable and the later life consequences so big that they start to wonder if their existence is a worthy thing. Though this probably happened to me due to being raised by a single mom. At least I'm doing well academically but I barely have any friends and my only outside activity is going to the gym. Before you leave your wife/girlfriend, think of the goddamn children.

At first when I watched JP's videos I thought of him as negative and aggressive, but now I see he cares so much about people and wants to protect them.. and probably is sick of seeing good people go under so he needs to be stern in his message. This particular video speaks to me so much. I've been so stupid and I shouldn't have let the resentment build up, because it did burst just like he said. Jordan, God bless you for caring so much. :)

I often forget that he's teaching psychology

When I was studying computer science at university in 1988 a few of the lecturers would stop people coming into the lecture theatre once the lecture had started. It taught us how to be punctual in the jobs we would get after graduating.

2:21 one of the worst traits of society today imo is that they believe that absolutely everything is almost 100% perpetrator and victim.

I have become weak, I had given up 10 years ago. Drowning in resentment, self pity and hate. Growing old, tired and unhealthy. I just came back from a 30 minute walk. Listening to music from my youth, walking in the sun. Sure was better than sitting inside fighting with myself in my mind. I have a long way to go. I want to walk again before I die of a heart attack.

"To demonstrate evil, I've brought the Necronomicon to class and we'll summon Cthulhu together."
