Dr. Jordan Peterson | Individual Responsibility

John Anderson talks to international phenomenon Dr Jordan B Peterson in a follow-up discussion from their first conversation in March 2018 in Sydney.

Since then interest in Dr Peterson's work and public lectures has increased even further and we are delighted to share this follow up discussion recorded via webcam.

Dr Jordan B Peterson is Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, clinical psychologist, public speaker and best-selling author. More than 250,000 people have attended Peterson's lectures, in more than 100 cities in North America, Europe and Australia since his 12 Rules for Life book tour began in January 2018.

00:52 Introducing Jordan Peterson
1:51 - Youth are hungry for content.
4:16 - Current media can manipulate, which is why these types of low-budget conversations are so crucial and valued.
5:46 - Jordan’s audience appreciate the truth and harsh reality, are quite young, often university students, and understand his message.
10:07 - Good news may be found amid the bad. The youth are tired of the therapy culture.
12:50 - The dividing line between good and evil is somewhere across every human heart. This can be recognised by the individual in making a better society, not by the individual expecting society to fix their problems.
17:30 - The battle between statism/collectivism vs individual liberty.
20:17 - Current culture rejects nobleism and patriotism among young people who want to be loyal to their country.
23:35 - The importance of fathering.
26:58 - Empirical evidence in relation to the importance of fathering. Postmodernism and cultural marxism are tied together, however they are not the same.
29:13 -
33:07 - Loathing of Western beliefs and values and of learning our own history.
35:28 - Academics are prioritising their integrity diversity, rather than on giving youth adequate education.
36:47 - Knowledge, accumulated cleverness and wisdom are not the same.
