I was about to say these kids are so lucky to have him as there teachers, then I realised I'm hearing exactly the same lecture in the comfort of my own home without spending a penny....

It's almost a relief to watch this un-stressed version of Peterson.

How did that opening joke not land????? That was hilarious!

It is so cool that I can access these lectures free of charge - Thank you Professor Peterson and thank you Canada.

The introductory comment was hilarious

The fact that no one in that class laughed at that great dad joke kills my soul.

Isn’t it strange that we seem to enjoy these lectures probably a lot more than the students?

Listening to these lectures every single day has helped me in SO many ways. Just finished my weight lifting workout (coincidentally) and skipped the music to listen to this. I'm glad I did.

What an extraordinary teacher of the mind, character, human behavior, life.... I can't believe we get to actually be part of his lectures!!

Straight out of the gate, that contempt for the pathetic Canadian social justice virtue signalling nonsense, further affirms that Jordan Peterson is a man who I need to be learning from.

Watching this in 2024. It's great to be able to hear one of Dr Peterson's lectures, I hope to work my way through some of these as and when time allows. I could listen to Dr Peterson for hours on end, sometimes you have to tear yourself away. Thanks for all you do, it is appreciated by millions of us around the world.

Very important. To keep your fluid intelligence, EXERCISE AND SPORT. BOTH WEIGHT LIFTING AND CARDIOVASCULAR TYPE.

Help! My hands are funky octopus claws! Professor Peterson has annihilated my presuppositions!

Thank you for these lectures Dr. Peterson .. I am 43 years old and still learning so much from you. No one has ever discussed these topics where I grew up.

Seems like that introduction went over his students head. Top sarcasm.

29:31 "But to not take into account the fact that you’ve been blessed at at least one level of analysis with a favorable role of the randomness dice seems to me to completely misstate the nature of the causal sequences that propel you into what’s essentially a position of privilege." How he improvises sentences like these is beyond me.

The clapping after the lecture was over was well deserved 👏🏼 These students are so lucky to have this guy as a professor

This is one of the most beautiful and eloquent and inspiring and lectures I have ever seen you do doctor Peterson. You are a Global treasure.

Jordan thank you for the classes and speeches. Im a really lazy person but the talks you give madee something click in my mind and now i have some kind of hidden energy to do all the stuff i never did cause it was to much work. And i also stopped putting things off to the next day and do them right away. Thank you a lot.

I can listen this man talk for hours.

I was so worried about looking unintelligent or dumb that I didn’t do anything so I wouldn’t be found out. But it’s ok to try, look clueless, fail, learn and then try again. It’s the only way to gain intelligence or be good at something, people aren’t experts on the first try. That’s what I always believed that if I wasn’t good at something right away then I didn’t want to try for fear of looking dumb. I’m still working on being ok being clueless about something in front of people in school, but that’s what I’m there for is to learn something I don’t know. I’m still wrestling with it for sure. I’m judgmental about myself and others so I fear others judgment because I know I’m capable of it towards others. I’m learning to be more compassionate and nonjudgmental because it’s tiring and anxiety provoking being worried about every little detail about myself and others faults. I’m going to keep trying.

Professor Peterson delivers yet another exquisite and passionate felt lecture, but at 26:49 he might have been referring to Howard Gardner, rather than Martin Gardner.

That one person is himself. And stop hating on the Coke. People sure do like telling others what they can and cannot do.

I'd still be lost trying to make sense of everything if it wasn't for you. Thanks again Jordan. We all have our flaws, and hit rough patches... You helped unlock my best... As perfectly imperfect as I may be 💛

0:19 literally immeasurable because it did absolutely nothing

The perfect professor joke at the beginning.

Thank God this lecture is free

Excellent explanation of how seeing differently with regards to artistic rendering is applied. One of the largest hurdles to getting people to learn to draw is having them let go of their abstractions of the object and instead looking directly at the object and drawing what is there.

This was one of my favorite lectures.

how much of this stuff did this guy write on the ceiling?

Dear Dr. Peterson, thanks a lot for your excellent job!

You can work extra hard and stay with the people who have a higher IQ than you for awhile, like for the time it takes to graduate from college with good grades. But you can't do it for your entire life, and at some point you have to find your own level so you can have an enjoyable life.

Whoever you are who can't sleep tonight, is tired or sad, believe that there will be tomorrow that will light up your beautiful days. You just need to endure a little more, a little more, and a little more ... Thank you for being patient, thank you for being able to survive. And as you read this, promise yourself that you will be able to get through your toughest days in the future. Promise to keep smiling, no matter how you are ... You deserve to be happy :)

I feel like Peterson has increased his ability to convey information effectively from when he did this lecture, which isn't all that surprising. I feel like it might be related to little tangents inside each topic or unfleshed out ideas. There's a good chance it's also me.

As a "sufferer" of high IQ, how I like to refer it in my daily life, I'm saddened, that I never had teachers like you. Hopefully my new study will be better. Society sucks, I can't even openly talk about it with most people, without them thinking I'm arrogant or whatever, while I do struggle a lot. Thanks for the video, and thank you for making it free of charge!

Thank you so much for the lecture dr. Peterson. God bless you and the family.

So happy to be able to access this level of content free of charge!

44:40 /.... “what shall we do with a significant portion of the population living under “enforced leisure “- NYC - has been under recommended containment since March 2020 bc of the Covid 19 event ... Interesting development - since this lecture is dated 5 years previous .:

1:04:53 smart people are not necessarily better at regulating their behavior.

10-12 usages, depending on definition of "new usage" for the task at the end. Bookrest, paperweight, counter weight when weighing or lifting things, using it to put things on so things are higher from table/ground, musical instrument, door stop, model to shape self-made gift boxes around, foot rest, as a ruler when drawing, stabilizer for furniture.

Thank your Professor Peterson for your continued service & commitment. x HC

Congratulations on your ethical course achievements. Thank you for amazing lectures. ✝️❤️

The first 20 seconds of this video are incredible.

Thanks Dr Peterson!

Jordan's comments about individuals who are intelligent, possibly creative but for whatever reason didn't manage to get on in life was very interesting to say the least. I'd like him to delve more into that topic if possible.

My first response to the 'uses of a brick' exercise was "to throw at the police"....divergent thinking Northern Ireland style.

It's even cooler that you have the capacity to be grateful and that you took the time to express it. And that you can read and write.

Hearing the description of Raven's Matrices tests ... yea ... I'd be a happy person doing those all day. ;) I love me some pattern puzzles!

Seems like its time to get in some cardio now and then. Thank you again Dr. Peterson.

I'd love to get a class credit for all these wonderful lectures: offer a quiz/test and credit? Lovely, brilliant man. A rich, dense culture, education, vulnerability and more.

Can Gogh’s old boots was my profile pic for a long time… love this man ❤️

My mother had a friend who was one of the most amazing human beings that I've ever known. She has an IQ of 85. She's barely literate. She writes and spells about the same as your average fourth grader. But she's the most conscientious people I've ever met in my life. She has a work ethic like no one else. It took a little more care to teach her a job, but once she had it down, she worked like a machine. (She's retired now) Her house is orderly and immaculate. She worked lots of jobs and she quickly became the MVP. She had a job at at gas station for awhile and the shelves were perfectly stocked, the bathrooms were immaculate, and the windows practically sparkled after her shift was done. She never stopped, never took a break. She just moved through the checklist then continued to clean after that was done. She was a faithful wife and a loving mom. A wonderful, loyal friend. She's in her 70's now and a widow and I'd say that she's had a very successful life. One of her grandsons moved to China to teach English and she has faithfully sent him a letter, a small gift, and a bit of money every week. He's been there for over a decade and she hasn't missed a week. He adores her above all others and looks forward to her little notes and presents. I've known some brilliant people who've led ruinous, short lives. She's made me reassess the definition of the word 'success.' We're all told to reach for the brass ring, but what's wrong with a nice, steady life with lots of dedicated love? Why isn't that enough for most of us? We don't pay attention to the little, daily things. We neglect our lives in so many ways. We're so focused on this grand picture and we're missing the daily joys that good order brings. I'm as guilty as the next person. But I think of her from time to time and that reminds me to bring some order and balance into my life. There's nothing wrong with focusing on pushing back the chaos.

I like doctor Petersons lectures 👇 much

What I find most interesting about your lecture is the truth I live and seen what your talking about when it comes to intelligent

Dr. Peterson gets my vote. I've listened to all his posted videos. I love the way some people are so quick to judge when they hear something they don't like. I hate political correctness. And those few who genuinely speak their truths are always politically incorrect. Jesus was politically incorrect. So afraid are they of hurting people's feelings; I say let their feeling be hurt. If anything I say offends you, that means I have power and control of your emotions. Nobody controls my emotions. That doesn't mean I don't get angry when there is cause to be angry, but my anger is something YOU feel. A FORCE! About offences, Jesus said, "The offence is IN YOU! And since it is in you, I can pull it out of you if I want to; and, no, I don't even need a reason. Comedians do it all the time, and get paid for it. Comedians are Prophets with a humorous side. A Prophet, or Poet, simply calls it as he sees it, and people either laugh or cry or get angry. Madison Avenue does it every second of the day. The politicians pull it out of you to divide you from your fellow Homo Sapiens. Homo Sapiens are not Human Beings. Homo Sapiens are simply a field of possibilities, one of which is to grow into Conscious Human Beings of Light, which is a word for Consciousness. "You are the light of the world." Forget the words I use. What's the old saying? It's not what you say, but how you say it? If I am writing from a Conscious Source, then this writing would be what the Forth Way calls a 'B' Influence. 'A' Influences are the influences of ordinary every day life. When you meet a Conscious Being, you will not know that he or she is one. But you cannot refute them. When you are in the presence of a Conscious Being, he or she brings you up their level in the Moment connects with you soul to soul: that's Intimacy in it's deepest meaning. Don't take it too literally. "Wide is the gate and broad is the way to that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat." And they go as failed experiments in Conscious Evolution. "Many are called, few are chosen." Creation and Evolution are two side of the same coin. Only one sperm in millions, or is it billions, gets to fertilized the egg. New experiment under way.

I love you!!! great intro!!!!

Great lecture. So many really good moments

Thank you Jordan, thank you.

He is so funny and his students don't even laugh! My stats prof made me laugh so hard my cheeks hurt after class, and it's the same dry humor as Peterson, love it! Dr Porter, "Where is the area of rejection?... Usually you'll find me there at a bar on a Friday night" 😂😂

Loved it!

This is like a warm ray of light in an otherwise cold damp dark cave that aint seen the light of day in about 25yrs.

Biggest fan. I like jordun way more than anyone else on here

thanks! interesting lecture

When I did the brick test at Primary School one of the uses I said was that "Bricks can be used by teachers to ask their children what bricks can be used for." A girl said "We are not their children."

World is a better place because Jordan Peterson is in it he hands out hope as if it were candy in his pocket

I learn't nothing until i passed beyond those school gates for the last time. I was definitely one of Jordan Peterson's "day-dreaming" creatives...so he's bang on the money in that area. The school year pupils before me left(mostly with a job), without qualifications. The year i left(1 year later..with qualifications...one or two in Maths and English) everybody i knew walked pretty much straight into an unemployment queue. Was it a disadvantage? Sure and massively to begin with, eventually. As we had ZERO money... but we had something of way more value for the long term...TIME TO THINK...and observe...total freedom. I went on to run two businesses. There were no Business Studies offered to me at school. I joined a small eye-opener of a Business course at 20(and the right inspirational tutor)..and ran my first business at 21 in Mobile Catering...what a grounding. Learning things parrot-fashion only works for one section of children. The rest were totally abandoned in my day and for the record, the abandoned ones were drawn naturally to business..mainly because they couldn't get jobs due to not being able to produce qualifications, due to not being able to pass "parrot-fashion" exams....oh, the irony. Come to think about it, when i went to some grotty school re-union about twenty years after we left, it became very noticeable that the Business runners ended up drifting together in that hall by the end of the evening. The rest, mainly seemed really bored or boring to be around. Most told me they were in jobs the hated....again, irony, they were mostly the "parrot-fashion successes". It sure was interesting. To add to the evening, the former head boy, who had ended up with the head girl(two of the most qualified to leave school) seemed utterly bored with each other. They came over as if they'd never really left school...mmmmm.

That jab at the beginning about ethics got me!!

5:20 EXERCISE FOR INTELLIGENCE

Thank you for giving access to your lectures. Access to information via the Internet changed my life and your lectures have helped me in abundance. One thing about IQ tests I feel might be negative (if you want to look at it that way), is that there are many people in the world without access to information; moreover many people aren't even taught how to effectively evaluate information to grow their understanding capabilities. I grew up in a situation where I faced this adversity and had to teach myself pretty much most of the fundamental things I needed to know to live a meaningful life and to rid myself of inherited pathology. It's an adversity I still face, however I feel lucky I have the means to face it. I don't think that makes me exceptional in any way from anyone else; simply that I am fortunate to have the means to do so. The question I would therefore ask is: is IQ basically just differentiating people with access to information and the knowledge of how to properly evaluate that information, from the people who do not? If so, doesn't it largely highlight the gap of wealth disparity since poverty contributes towards lack of opportunity in general but specifically in this case lack of opportunity to be educated by high quality intellectuals? How do we determine what differentiates a person with really good understanding from a person with poor understanding? In other words, isn't every individual capable of pretty much the same things through specific nurture? If equal opportunity truly existed, then wouldn't peoples IQ have very little variation?

What a treat!!! Thank you

56:20 and I'm drawing my hand while listening to this

One of his best lectures in this course.

Has Peterson also ruined anyone else’s view of teachers? Because now I compare every lecture to his and there is no comparing a Peterson lecture ❤️😂

1:15:12 To build to throw to open to close to break a part to make into two to make into three to make into many( infinite number of uses/and particles) to create dust to create mess to create havoc

BTW, Peterson makes an apparent mistake referring to "Martin Gardner", a mathematics and science write who claimed to have the highest recorded IQ (according to one source), and one "Howard Gardner", a developmental psychologist critical of traditional measures of intelligence like the IQ test, and who formulated an alternative known as "theory of multiple intelligences" (just for anyone else at home who likes to look up references in these videos)

The moment a measurement becomes a goal is when it ceases to be a measurement

Dr. Peterson is increasingly reminding me of a Rick Sanchez that has overcome his nihilism.

Damn. Powerful Jordan Peterson

Amazing lecture! Shakening the western world!

Man that first statement hits different now

i have created some creativity maps, i would like to show Dr. Peterson . Love your work and presentations. God bless.

This man. ❤️

I am at his lecture and have no brick and he asks me how many uses I could think of for a brick. I should have a brick if I need one and since I don't have one I do not need one. No use at the moment for a brick. Should I ever be honored to meet Mr. Peterson I pray I know in advance so I can have a brick handy to hand him. When he asks why I gave him a brick. I will say because you have many uses for the brick and I knew of your need. Blessings, respect, and love to all without prejudice.

The creative test at the end is very similar to the game "Scattergories" and it's a blast in a group setting. Very challenging and lots of laughs.

I love you stop listen to you and flow it out 🤟🏼🥂

I did the brick test at the end. I only have 7, i think its because i write slowly and get hung up in spelling. My best one was "letter delivery system."

There has been scientific evidence that meditation can keep the brain 'younger' for longer. So I wonder if through exercise as well as meditation it can double the effect so to speak.

00 to 0:20. Oh! Now I understand

Thank you

muchas gracias, aunque no puedo ir a la U por este medio puedo aprender algunas cosas muy interesantes.

*gulps with responsibility and self-manifestation AHAHAHA love this guy!

Mensa Results - IQ 127 ( SD 24 ) IQ 117 ( SD 16 ) Tested at Shrewsbury Library on the 2nd of July, 2016.

15:00 those were fun tests to take... it was asking to explain the rule

1min Brick test: When accounting for similar ideas, or usual ideas my 9 uses of a brick goes down to 2 unique ideas, one of which is very unique while the other could be thought up by another person give time and situation.

0:10 jeez... tough crowd JP IS YOUR PROFESSOR GOD LIGHTEN UP

I feel bad for anyone who feels the need to argue with this dude.

the correlation between openness and creativity & intelligence is not actually discussed, let alone explained

I think Jordan Peterson is like 90% of my internal monologue

less stress results in better health

Mr. Peterson, Thank you again for your support, i say always that “all our life we are learning”, the person that said that he know everything, he really stupid. I Always wanted to hear what other people saying, to make my decision.
