Jordan Peterson - Stop Saying Things That Make You Weak!

I experienced the same thing many years before I heard about JP. I had never heard anyone else talk about the "two yous" so to speak.

What kind of things you say that make you weak?

What does he mean by weak ?

What is there to meditate on the passage that imagination of majority of man was evil? Why not wonder what made Noah rightous? There is nothing about the evil imagination - that vain. There is a whole lot of value to be taken out of Noah being rightous in his generation.

This video was extremely helpful for me. I'm just going through a rough episode of my life where I'm really questioning my behavior (primarily in terms of communication) and this video pretty much gave me, at least to some extent, an answer to my questions. I am grateful for having found this, although I will still have to work on a lot of things.

Yes I can certainly relate. I sometimes say things out loud in conversation to dumb myself down, after it comes out, I usually wonder why I’m being so degrading to myself. I’ve come to the Conclusion that I think it will be entertaining to others and also they may considering me more favourably if they think I can laugh at myself. Yet it’s not me. It’s not who I am. It’s odd

How to induce this state?

“try” is weak... “will” is more effective.

I really respect Peterson . I feel he’s being honest. And that in itself is a gift

I need to watch some long plays of Super Nintendo games in order for me to think stronger I think

Incredible, truly a inspiring man, easily one of my biggest idols.

He's the patient, not the therapist

Fuck dude...

Watching yourself. "Neutrally judging", as Dr Jordan Peterson refers to it. This is called Witness Consciousness. The first time I was exposed to this concept was in Yoga. Such an eye-opener.

Feel it, say it, speak it let it out. No whatever the voice tells you to be submissive little girl that’s the evil empire that’s the machine wanting everybody to be a small little girl. We’ve got to stop judging ourselves FaceTime imaginary voices in our own head. Stop beating yourself up …you’re incredible just leave it alone. We don’t have to backpedal apologize self deprecating in order to make other people feel relevant sometimes you’re wrong?… whatever who gives a shit?

I feel like this is a precursor to some kind of cognitive bias bs platform to make sure you think inside of a box.

1. Stop saying in my opinion, just say whatever you want to say
2. When asking someone to do something, invite instead of permission. For example: do you wanna go to the movies -> let's go to the movies
3. When do something wrong, don't say sorry. But thank the person that you did wrong for correcting you. For example: "thank you for your attention" "thank you for reminding"

Ps: if you do this too much without compensating don't be surprised if people start to dislike you or think you're cold

I had this happen to me And it felt like the first time I ever was using my own brain rather than it being on auto pilot. I remember exactly how it happened aswell. A manager I had asked me if I ever think before I speak and it litrally changed my whole life. Then I was always thinking and I ended up becoming a Christian, through searching for truth about the world, but ultimately through revelation.

what painting is that?

Autodestruction as a consequence of tyrannical parants, and indoctrination of their perspective into your psyche.

3 minutes in & the video still hasn't started, stop rambling

Am I cliche for being a late twenty year old white dude who agrees with just about everything he talks about..

I don't get it...he didn't give any examples of things you say that make you weak??

Thanks you sir .

My 2 cents in the pond: I recently started being firm and assertive and when I do it I can literally feel some kind of dopamine inside me that says "yes. you passed this test and took the right road".

like JP says, hard to explain/ articulate that. 🙏🏾

I don't get it...
What is an example of something you say that makes you weak?
I do not understand.

What does peterson mean by weak?

I love this man

That happenned to me on ketamine. I went into a big ol k hole. I was immediately in a dissociative state listening to my thoughts as if i were observing them. And i was baffled at how totally fucking negative my thoughts were... saying what the fuck is that type of thinking?? Hugely enlightening. We tend to think very negatively about ourselves and the world. So stupid really when you 'think' about it.

Anyone else feel Jordan is a closet homosexual

....and stop lying about your academic credentials ....you know like calling yourself a biological scientist ....when you are , in fact, just a psychologist

Most morning I wake up and tekk myself I hate myself many times thats bout it

I just love you!

thumbnail looks like hes doing Wing Chun

I think that's the message of Jesus when he said to fix those feelings before you pray, it's quite wonderful because in ancient times when praying to gods you offer them things but in this case your sacrifice is that resentment

Thank God you are Born

I notice the Bible saids to brag about our weakness but all it really do it hurt myself esteem at the same time knowing I have to be stronger makes want to be better

"people have multiple parts"

Something bad happened to me today, which bought this question in my head, "why am I weak?"
Because I'm a "nice guy" people turn to walk all over me, they use me, they see me as an easy target. I've never wanted to hurt or make anyone feel bad in my life and I've always wanted to be a giver and Share things with people. But bcos I've always thought that many things in my life have been at a loss. It pains me to see that my niceness doesn't work for me as often as I want it to. Maybe I should be a serpent. People have been taking from me and it has to stop, so then in me comes this awful realization that I must stop being nice yes to all type of guy, it stops today. This doesn't mean that I have to abonden all sense of care and thoughtfulness, but means I only have to give it to people who rediate the same thing.

This dude happened to me this month, found him right when I most needed to hear him.

Finally someone explains this.

I hope that one day I will have the ability to come to understand my own mind to the point where I can be my own Jorden Peterson.

I admire that Peterson here says he does not consider himself to be naturally good. I feel the same way. I always feel like if I do not regulate myself, I could do really terrible things. Subsequently my conscience would harass me swiftly and without end until facing the wrong doing, but that doesn't change the fact I feel like a monster.

Good.

merely a glimpse of fight club 😂

haha tis the age of weakness.

One of my favourite jordan's

there is a saying in India
"AN EMPTY HEAD IS THE HOME OF SATAN"

Find the 5 % of Gold in the coal mine of your mind and you will be wealthier than you ever imagined

That explains a lot about his recent inclinations.
