I'm Talking With Jordan B. Peterson - Ideas?

Comments

Per

Oh, I'm excited to hear the two of you talk. I don't always agree with Jordan B. Peterson, but I always find his arguments to be valid and understandable, which sadly isn't the norm in discourse anymore. There is one thing I've wanted to ask him (and I can't find it on his YouTube/Google) and that is how he feels about the idea of separating art from the artist. Don't know if that's something you can work in there, or even if you think it's interesting to talk about, but if you have some time to spare I'd love to hear both you guys' opinion on that. (Also, just finished Slow Days, Fast Company (adored it!) and started Pan from Knut Hamsun, which may or may not be my favorite of his so far).

I've always wondered whether or how familiar he is with the work of Cormac McCarthy. It seems to me that he could go either way on his work. I could also see where even if he has some passing familiarity or even vague appreciation, he might consider it a bit much for his liking. I'm also curious about his take on Jünger... maybe even Mishima (though I imagine he wouldn't be terribly keen on Mishima, though I could easily be mistaken on that). Also, he never mentions Camus, and I kind of get the sense that he's either written him off (alongside most of the French intelligencia of his time) or just hasn't given him a fair shake as of yet (I could definitely imagine a strong reluctance to do so on his part); so yeah, I'd like to know what's up with that.

Hi Clifford! It's brilliant that you've got him on the show. He’s a Canadian hero! I'm actually a (ex) student of University of Toronto but never took psych so I'd never heard of him. I'm sure by now many people know the scoop on the controversy surrounding his statements about gender pronouns, Bill C-16, and the recently passed Bill 89. We’re seeing the first steps of tyranny here. I actually want to know more about his thoughts on the current trend of self-education. In the first chapter of Maps and Meaning, he talks about growing up and the extensive research he's done on things that interested him. That is the current 'trend'- now more than ever people are self-educating. Does he think it's as effective as the current education systems? When does he think the university will become obsolete? I think that topic is interesting with regards to your channel, because you push yourself to read extremely difficult material without any formal education for it. I think you really inspire people to challenge themselves as well so maybe your viewers (myself included) might be grateful for any wisdom he could provide on that topic. I’m also curious if he could provide wisdom for people in the workforce when dealing with the new politically correct climate. He has stated on the Rogan show “The ability to speak one’s truth is the bulwark against Hell.” How do we reconcile this with our daily lives? People out there are in jobs where the HR is raining politically correct hellfire on them. It must be tough. It's amazing what your channel is becoming, really. I'm a proud supporter. I'd wear your t-shirt.

Yeah I wouldn't mind knowing his thoughts on Cormac McCarthy's writings. In the New York Times review of All The Pretty Horses the reviewer person writes the following: "What order there may be in the world is not, Mr. McCarthy suggests, of our devising and is very likely beyond our comprehension. His project is unlike that of any other writer: to make artifacts composed of human language but detached from a human reference point. That sense of evil that seems to suffuse his novels is illusory; it comes from our discomfort in the presence of a system that is not scaled to ourselves, within which our civilizations may be as ephemeral as flowers. The deity that presides over Mr. McCarthy's world has not modeled itself on humanity; its voice most resembles the one that addressed Job out of the whirlwind " Might seem to conflict somewhat with Peterson's vision of things possibly? Then again, I've only listened to some podcasts with Peterson and haven't read Maps of Meaning so I don't really know.... jack shit. Anyway, I'm a fan of the "Three Books" concept. Keep up the awesome reviews! (Fishboy sounds interesting.... I believe I shall pick it up one day in the near future).

On the note of self-education: Does he have any quick advice to those who are seriously self-educating? Resources/practices to avoid/ditch? Tips for efficient, effective and thorough research? Stuff along those lines.

Cliff Perhaps you could bring up the ideological conflict between Islam (principally the 'Arab World') and the West. Jordan has expressed very measured opinions on the sheer pressure cooker that is the Arab/ Israeli conflict, mainly in preface to his Biblical Series. If you were to do so, I would love to see you invoke the works of Paul Bowles; especially 'The Delicate Prey.' I haven't read it yet. But as a 19 year old European-in-blood yet Semite-at-heart who's still recovering from ideological PTSD after crossing the Gibraltar Strait with my family from Andalusia; namely 'The Costa Del Sol,' to the erotic mania of Tangiers when I was 10 years old: such a conversation would be quite the spectacle. I must remind you that in this age of ideological manic-depression that I've found myself essentially imprisoned in, people like you and Jordan an inspiration; "In the plain of the Jordan, between Succoth and Zarthan, is the clay ground where Solomon had his brass-foundries." (1 Kings 7:46) On that note, I wish you a healthy heart and Godspeed from the Southern Hemisphere. It is a place that isn't so warm this time of year. Tom Brussel xOx

Ask him if he was ever a fuck up, what did he struggle about when he was a young man and what drove him in such an intense way to the concept of personal responsibility.
