Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for making your lectures accessible to the general population! The information you share and the propositions you put forth feed my curiosity. Listening to you feels like exploration.
@Tamim Husain i prefer to do multiple shadow fights, fighting simultaneous fighting simulations all at the same time. Takes a toll on the head, especially when you get shadow punched 50 times in 1 second.
@michael adams I'm going to say yes the ego is definitely there. But in saying that, i don't think I'm smart enough to have one...until it's clear that I'm smartest in the room.
Summary: 1- Freud was the first person to say a lot of things that we take for granted today 2- Mental disorders have a sociological element The culture battles against the individual (superego x id) and the battle between the individual and the culture is going to take forms that differentiate between cultures (brief comment: the cultures are different so they have a different impact on people; and people are different as well, so each person is going to have a unique battle) 3 - Sex; sexual diseases; birth control pill 10:00 4 - Book suggestion: The discovery of the unconscious (Jordan says it is the best introduction to the psychoanalitic thought) 5 - People lived on about a dollar a day at 19th century 6 - Freud was very influenced by Nietzche 7 - We take a lot of things for granted nowadays, like: People don’t always say what they mean. Their speech and their actions are influenced by factors that they are not necessarely conscious of. Passions, dreams and mental illnesses are manifestations of the unconscious 8 - Freud’s ideas were rapidly integrated into the culture (in despite of the resistance that really existed and exists) That is why people talk so much about his erros. Everything that he was right about was integrated into the culture and is now taken for granted, so the only things left “about him” are his erros 9 - Sublimation 10 - Educated man will marry uneducated woman, but educated woman won’t marry uneducated man. Woman look for someone who is at least as competent as they are or even more competente 20:00 11 - The superego (Society) vs the id: jail analogy The more authoritarian the Society is, the bigger is the struggle between the individual (attempting to be an individual) and the culture (attempting to turn him into an absolutely predictable machine) Very related to number 2 12 - Freud viewed the primary conflict in mental life as the ego tortured by the id (biological forces), but also inhibited and repressed by the superego 13 - Piaget: The fundamental conflict within people isn’t necessarely social vs the individual. The fundamental conflict is between motivational systems and then between their expression across time within the individual and then between their expression across time within the individual in relationship to all other individuals and to society (So it is more like a complex problem that could be solved by a civilized game than a massive force, that being superego, crushing the individual into submission) 14 - Neurotic people 15 - People on the bottom of dominance hierarchy are much more likely to consider the spirit of the structure as an authoritarian and repressive spirit, because it isn’t making room for you 16 - Industrial Revolution 17 - Superego x id and school system; ADHD; Jaak Panksepp and rats 18 - Hypothesis test and hypothesis generation 30:00 19 - Freud’s hypothesis generation 20 - Behaviorism and ethology; Skinner; Frans de Waal 21 - You have twice as many female ancestors as you do male ancestors 22 - Freud, Jung and other clinicians are basically ethologists. They are studying human beings at their relatively natural environment and trying to figure out how they work 23 - Clinical practice vs lab work 40:00 24 - Reason, emotion and motivation 25 - After Freud we understood that we are not driven mostly by rationality. This is a BIG discovery. “Little rational guy” analogy (43:10) 26 - The rational intelect is not the fundamental element of people’s being 27 - Darwin 50:00 28 - Terror management theory 29 - Free association The importance of talking (52:30) 30 - Explainning a movie to a friend 31 - Fighting with someone you love 32 - Epigenetics 1:00:00 33 - We can represent ideas in symbolic forms 34 - Dreams 35 - The unconscious; when someone is mad 36 - People who don’t end bad relationships 37 - Ego vs id and the “I wish I didn’t say that when I was angry” 38 - Voluntarily inaccessible memories and the unconscious 1:10:00 39 - Unconscious and new ideas (brainstorm) 40 - Unconscious and myths; Jung
Learning more from Peterson in 20 mins a night on KZclip than I ever did studying at university. Fantastic lecturer, and one of the great minds of our generation. Thank you Jordan 👍🏻
Watching these lectures revitalizes my confidence in therapy and honestly makes me want to book a session with Peterson to see if an expert can make a difference in an individuals mental health
I started taking notes on these lectures in a five-subject notebook..............yeah I don't think there are enough pages to contain all the insightful information that you pour into each lecture. Thank you for all you do!
This lecture was amazing! I had no idea about Freud before hand. In only knew the stereotypes but after watching this I am blown away! Great lexture! Great topic!
This is an excellent course! Thank you professor Peterson; it seems like every minute is jam packed with profound yet useful knowledge applicable to one's every day life.
Thank you so much for this post. This man is extremely knowledgeable and gifted in delivering it to the people. Without this posting of this man and his lectures on KZclip I would have never had the great opportunity to ponder these ideas and such a cohesive and interesting way.
You are simply one of the best, and interesting teacher ever! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🌹 if at least 60% of all teachers was like you the university would be the most interesting place in the world.
I've followed Prof. Peterson for 4+ years now but was directed recently to later episodes in this academic series, I guess, because KZclip recognized I was a devotee of Russian literature so, after watching those, I began at the beginning. In this segment I feel that he really inhabits the material. He is discussing Freud extemporaneously, following his notes, in a fashion that truly expresses what his mind knows. It's primal and pure.
Now knowing the difficulties JBP was going through at this point, makes these lectures that much more profound and enlightening in showing the kind of man that he is.
You know, I found out about you because of the SJW stuff, but this is way more interesting. It resonates with me and feels more correct than anything I've heard from any clinical shrink I've ever talked to.
Some shrinks are amazing but most I’ve talked to are less intelligent than they need to be to do this intense and important a job. A lot of them are even nihilists. And a lot don’t care about you. If you don’t have enough for a good quality shrink this is better than a bad one I promise.
He was looking rough here, he looks 200x more healthier now things are getting better in his life. I'm grateful for all this content. I didn't get to go to his show this year due to work bs. But thank you, I wouldn't of stayed alive and taken my own life through drugs&suicidal thoughts. Tried justification of my own self destruction. Then I destroyed those thoughts, which freed me from those chains. I have some chains to break but I'm getting there. It wouldn't have been possible without this man's chicken soup while I was extremely sick. Thank you Dr. Peterson
Brilliant JBP 👏 Having this man around is a blessing. During this lecture he announced a film for the next one, but he never said the name. Any idea on which film he is talking about ? Thanks !
One of my favorites of his lectures. The idea that we can be precisely scientific and objective with what's going on in people's heads seems a bit far fetched, so the best you're going to get is a tool to help you chisel at the edges, and that's what Freud and Jung offered. Both of them had ideas that still apply today.
This was incredibly self reflectional. Since the Piaget lecture, i've been constantly self reflecting thanks to Professor. But this directly speaks to mental illness and as someone who has to take heavy anti psychotics due to suicidal tendencies, all i ACTUALLY want is someone to talk to. Someone who would listen and the problems would then go away.
@Gourkis Firstly, thank you so much for taking your time to write such a detailed reply. Was not expecting this at all. :) Ah so that is the counsellor personality? You have an amazing gift, as this means you 'listen' to people and listen well, and truth be told, that's mostly what we (atleast i) want desperately. Pills may help during anxiety attack or extreme distress situations, but really, life has come to such a point, no medicine would work. i listen to professor every night (i get a little over 1 and half hr at night to eat and everything) and reflect on my thoughts, how i faced the day, etc and it helps me tremendously. Sometimes i write them in a comment or write on an online journal to help. i don't think i can grasp Jung without Professor Peterson, but i will give it a look, thank you.
You would also be correct. I believe that pills can sometimes help people, by "masking" what is "actually" going on inside of them. But by no means, could that ever fix them. When I started listening to Dr. Peterson, I also found out about Dr. Jung. Listening to things from Dr. Jung just made sense to me. I think that so much from him was swept under the rug. Because he didn't fit the "pill model" that is pushed upon everyone today. Dr. Jung was once considered to have went crazy, but he also fixed himself. And was also able to do the same for his patients. By listening to them, and then helping them to make sense of what was going on inside of them. From what I understand, and relate to about him... He was truly an amazing person and blessing to the field of psychology. His personality type, as far as I'm concerned. Was also specifically designed for psychoanalysis. I share that same type, and have been naturally drawn to studying people's thinking, behavior, and their well being... Ever since I was a small child or knew that psychology even existed. That personality type is not called "The Counselor" for nothing. I'm not saying that everyone with this type is guaranteed to be good at it, or that other types couldn't be. But I do believe that people with certain personality types are better suited and probably prefer certain fields over others, based on their type.
You know Peterson talks a lot about how humans find it really useful to just throw themselves at a problem and in the process of dealing with it they improve as a person generally, and I feel like it's really cool to be able to see how that has played out to a large extent in his time in the public spot light. You can in this video that he is a lot less refined than he has become. Not to say that his style in this is "bad," and the topics are still very much interesting, but it is cool to see how has become such an intellectual/explanatory power house in the time that he has been actively engaged in public discourse to the extent that he has since the whole pronouns thing. There is a sort of clarity conviction in the way he presents now that adds to the impact of his explanations really powerfully. I definitely wouldn't wanna try to debate something with the guy thats for sure. Or at least with the intent to win haha.
That was an interesting lecture. I hope in the lectures about existentialism, you would point at Sartre's existential psychoanalysis in which there is a room for intentionality, choice and decision. From this point of view, emotions like anger don't stem from sub-personalities or drives, but they are purposeful and part of our choices and our way of dealing with the world.
For anybody who couldn't hear/make out what Freud dictates in the recording at the beginning: "I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges, and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, psychoanalysis, a part of psychology, and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavory. Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I succeeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psychoanalytic Association. But the struggle is not yet over."
Jordan Peterson is the equivalent to having a neuralink that feeds you psychology information, which is probably the most important information you would want connected to your brain.
I had a dream that I was reaching my arm as far I could and Jordan's hand was clasping mine, as if pulling me out of or into something and towards him. In a lecture explaining Carl Jung's interpretation of dreams, Peterson said "Jung believed the dream is trying to express a reality that is outside of fully articulated conscious comprehension" or "the dream is telling you something you don't know." While I'm not sure I fully believe that, and his presence in my dream is probably a consequence of my interest in his lectures, it's entertaining and interesting to think about it (and other dreams) according to Jung's interpretation.
I majored in Political Science. It won out over what ended up being a near-sighted choice...I should have learned more about my own inner workings rather than thinking I could fix anything out in the world while I was still broken and resentful of how little of a voice I had in University. I got my education but I gave in to my worst demons in the process. I'd like to say thank you for your lectures as they afford me an opportunity to learn about a subject of which I've always had an un-kindled interest. Is the Book list for this class posted anywhere online?
Ares P his previous lecture on Jung described true artist being at the edge and could relate archetypes in stories knowing they worked and not necessarily why. I found for me Jordan has found a way to address a deeper older knowledge that modern culture overlooks but needs. I think his appeal is such that we sense what he says are archetypical constants but not necessarily know why.
@BirdBrainViz Don't pay that any mind. That's just someone spewing empty negativity just for the sake of spewing it. I have been able to find a sense of peace, and help myself by working through a few different things, since I became aware of him. Things that troubled me that I had been struggling with for some time now. Since I started listening to Dr. Peterson and looking into other things related to human behavior, our psychology, our relationship to each other, and the things in our environments. I "personally" have felt much better, but that's just me... and I'm sure thousands of other people. If that wasn't the case, Dr. Peterson would hardly even be relevant.
I want to buy his books just to support him. I used to be able to understand what he was saying and now my brain only grabs one subject out of everything he says and translates it into my brain language which is mostly videos.
Thank you for this video, I just had a lecture on Freud in my psychology course and the lecturer went on about Diversity, equity and inclusion, his pronouns and how Freud was a white male. This is one of the top 150 universities in the world…
Mr Peterson, my name is Taymour Janekeh. Thank you for this video. You've had a big influence on me, and your videos, alongside the works of Nietszche, Freud and Jung are currently influencing my next animated fantasy epic cartoon.
About that epigenetics subject you opened up, there is an experiment that has been done not too long ago, where they selected the most tame of foxes, and started breeding them and selecting the most tame of them and so on, 6 generations after, I believe, the foxes had pretty much dog-like characteristics...
I just discovered these lectures and they're fabulous. Such a distillation. Sadly KZclip has now enacted the policy of one part program and one part ad.
1:11:37 When you walk threw a grass field At first no marks and so on marks the more you go threw it the easier it is to get to a certain conclusion I really liked the way nick vazquez approached this
Jordan Peterson is great, he looks so young here, Ive never watched the older lectures beyond 2016, the carnivore diet really did change his physique tremendously, it's pretty crazy now that I see where he came from.
Yes! The truth will always come to Light! Dr. Peterson is a National Treasure for sure on many levels. It could be, in the course of time, that professors and psychologists will be adding Peterson's name to the long line of other historical and notable psychologists.
So thankful to have found this lecture on Freud. Throughout my entire undergraduate degree, all of my professors basically laughed at Psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic theory without genuinely articulating why. There seems to be a backlash to Freud's case studies methods, particularly on upper-middle-class white people, as they are not a representative sample of the general population. Ironically, the large majority of contemporary psychological theory is based on white psychology students and thus is also not representative of the population at large. I really can't understand this hatred for Freud and this overt bias toward CBT, despite the shallow theraptuic approach invloved in CBT.
I fell asleep listening to this last night and had crazy weird philosophically questioning dreams last night. Opened the video this afternoon to try to pickup where i left off... skipped to the middle of the video and the first thing i heard was Jordan passionately explaining “THE RATS ARENT THAT INTERESTED IN COCAINE!”..... I lol’d
Dang I am a bit shocked by your presence in this video. You're out of breath(?), exhausted(?), generally appear ill. You're obviously healthier now. Thank God for that, you're a valuable resource for many of us.
Here's a transcript of that Freud recording. Even if you look up the original it's hard to understand his voice (he had mouth cancer at the time): "I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important and new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, Psycho-Analysis, a part of psychology and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavoury. Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I suceeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psycho-Analytic Association. But this struggle is not yet over. Sigmund Freud."
Watching this in 2022 makes me realize just how consistently brilliant Dr. Peterson has been across time, as well as how great and healthy he looks since dropping a few dozen pounds over the last number of years😂😂. In reality Jordan would still be much sharper than us all even if he resembled jabba the hut.
DR . Peterson how do you let things go? You answer will be a lot of help and get my life together with a meaningful aim that I have thank you I appreciate for you work thank you sir
I thought the part about Freud’s genius was compelling due to the comparison with a manic person’s delusion that they were a genius was striking: really puts into perspective how intellectual explorations of uncharted psychological territories can be seen as both so revolutionarily and divinely brilliant to such a degree that the only way to explain the problems posed by the very nature of their own complexity is via a comparison to the gibberings of a thoroughly ill person possessed by manic delusions convinced that say they were God. Its as if the concept of how ‘Yahweh created the world out of form and void’ can be likened to understanding a derivation of klingon translated into a multi-dimensional semaphore for tesseract technology, only to have the sole recorded instance of its divine message being piped through several layers of encrypted mimeographs, squashed into glue, built into a house, destroyed, with the semitones of it’s destruction turned into a song that was covered by a 90’s grunge band and piped over a school loudspeaker.
30:00 methodological differences between lab and natural observation (ethologists vs behaviourists) 34:00 rats and cocaine: social environement in relation to addiction 42:00 rationality as the default and preferred mode of consciousness; emotions, motivations, drives and filters to our perception 58:30 epigenetics, methylation, inherited acquired knowledge

Wow, words have no meaning to what is he speaks. Truly full lessons of how it all works as a humanity. As it is to evolve so spontaneous without a doubt.
Dr. Peterson is a gem, a walking treasure of knowledge and wisdom, I imagine that one day people will look back at him similar to people like Issac Newton, someone who can understand and be able to explain concepts that aren't fully understood yet, but also be able to advance them in some way by making these understanding public knowledge regardless of what people threaten him with
Glad to see he got that hypothalamus under control and dropped the diet coke habit. He'll be in the middle of a sentence and suddenly his brain goes "sugar!" and his arm happily responds.
I was thinking about that while going through all of his lectures, especially in comparison to his 2017 class and lecture tours. It's all water after that point 👍
Slips of the tongue aren't always as deep as they might seem. "People make slips of the tum", when the next punctuated word is "time" ("all the time"). It's not so far fetched that sometimes it's just the wrong sounds that come out.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for making your lectures accessible to the general population! The information you share and the propositions you put forth feed my curiosity. Listening to you feels like exploration.
Steven Bibby hahaha
You're very attractive
I don't say this enough... THANK YOU, Professor, for putting all this out here for FREE. You are awesome.
@Mark Douglas ssooooooookkkooooo
@Sebastian S. J
You're welcome!
On the thank you 🙏🏽.
This is the absolute best lecture on basic Freud I have ever watched and I am a psychoanalyst.
I find he goes completely off topic for major segments of the lecture and integrates erroneous information. There is better content on Freud.
@Tamim Husain i prefer to do multiple shadow fights, fighting simultaneous fighting simulations all at the same time. Takes a toll on the head, especially when you get shadow punched 50 times in 1 second.
@michael adams I'm going to say yes the ego is definitely there. But in saying that, i don't think I'm smart enough to have one...until it's clear that I'm smartest in the room.
😲 I’m not a psychoanalyst so I thought it was great but now you’ve just told me I’ve seen the best and I’m wanting more. 😵🥴 Well I’m still hopeful. 😌
Summary:
1- Freud was the first person to say a lot of things that we take for granted today
2- Mental disorders have a sociological element
The culture battles against the individual (superego x id) and the battle between the individual and the culture is going to take forms that differentiate between cultures (brief comment: the cultures are different so they have a different impact on people; and people are different as well, so each person is going to have a unique battle)
3 - Sex; sexual diseases; birth control pill
10:00
4 - Book suggestion: The discovery of the unconscious (Jordan says it is the best introduction to the psychoanalitic thought)
5 - People lived on about a dollar a day at 19th century
6 - Freud was very influenced by Nietzche
7 - We take a lot of things for granted nowadays, like: People don’t always say what they mean. Their speech and their actions are influenced by factors that they are not necessarely conscious of. Passions, dreams and mental illnesses are manifestations of the unconscious
8 - Freud’s ideas were rapidly integrated into the culture (in despite of the resistance that really existed and exists)
That is why people talk so much about his erros. Everything that he was right about was integrated into the culture and is now taken for granted, so the only things left “about him” are his erros
9 - Sublimation
10 - Educated man will marry uneducated woman, but educated woman won’t marry uneducated man. Woman look for someone who is at least as competent as they are or even more competente
20:00
11 - The superego (Society) vs the id: jail analogy
The more authoritarian the Society is, the bigger is the struggle between the individual (attempting to be an individual) and the culture (attempting to turn him into an absolutely predictable machine)
Very related to number 2
12 - Freud viewed the primary conflict in mental life as the ego tortured by the id (biological forces), but also inhibited and repressed by the superego
13 - Piaget: The fundamental conflict within people isn’t necessarely social vs the individual.
The fundamental conflict is between motivational systems
and then between their expression across time within the individual
and then between their expression across time within the individual in relationship to all other individuals and to society
(So it is more like a complex problem that could be solved by a civilized game than a massive force, that being superego, crushing the individual into submission)
14 - Neurotic people
15 - People on the bottom of dominance hierarchy are much more likely to consider the spirit of the structure as an authoritarian and repressive spirit, because it isn’t making room for you
16 - Industrial Revolution
17 - Superego x id and school system; ADHD; Jaak Panksepp and rats
18 - Hypothesis test and hypothesis generation
30:00
19 - Freud’s hypothesis generation
20 - Behaviorism and ethology; Skinner; Frans de Waal
21 - You have twice as many female ancestors as you do male ancestors
22 - Freud, Jung and other clinicians are basically ethologists. They are studying human beings at their relatively natural environment and trying to figure out how they work
23 - Clinical practice vs lab work
40:00
24 - Reason, emotion and motivation
25 - After Freud we understood that we are not driven mostly by rationality. This is a BIG discovery. “Little rational guy” analogy (43:10)
26 - The rational intelect is not the fundamental element of people’s being
27 - Darwin
50:00
28 - Terror management theory
29 - Free association
The importance of talking (52:30)
30 - Explainning a movie to a friend
31 - Fighting with someone you love
32 - Epigenetics
1:00:00
33 - We can represent ideas in symbolic forms
34 - Dreams
35 - The unconscious; when someone is mad
36 - People who don’t end bad relationships
37 - Ego vs id and the “I wish I didn’t say that when I was angry”
38 - Voluntarily inaccessible memories and the unconscious
1:10:00
39 - Unconscious and new ideas (brainstorm)
40 - Unconscious and myths; Jung
Thanks Anna!
thank you! im doing a school project and this helped speed up research time a lot!!
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you!
One of the greatest teachers of our era. Maybe the greatest. I wish my university teacher had the ability and knowledge to talk like this.
Learning more from Peterson in 20 mins a night on KZclip than I ever did studying at university. Fantastic lecturer, and one of the great minds of our generation. Thank you Jordan 👍🏻
This man is the man I set as the "ideal mode of being." He is the embodiment of the father. He has filled a fatherly hole in my life.
@M Brostrom Funny words from a funny man.
Funny thing to say in the comments of a lecture on Freud.
@PuppyMonkeyBaby What makes you a better one?
@PuppyMonkeyBaby that in it of itself is a judgement. One that is certainly both pretentious and arbitrary.
I wish every professor on Earth was as good as Mr. Peterson
@Grand-Master Grouch Or the same passion and energy which has me hanging on his every word even when I don't understand or strongly disagree .
there are many great professors. they just dont have the same viewpoint as Dr JP. to record epic lectures and provide them for free.
surely one of the best lecturers ive seen to date.
Watching these lectures revitalizes my confidence in therapy and honestly makes me want to book a session with Peterson to see if an expert can make a difference in an individuals mental health
Thank you to everyone who intentionally, or unintentionally, brought Dr. Peterson to my attention. Very rewarding.
I started taking notes on these lectures in a five-subject notebook..............yeah I don't think there are enough pages to contain all the insightful information that you pour into each lecture. Thank you for all you do!
I'm watching this because I'm unhappy with my academic education. I'm glad people like Dr. Peterson share their knowledge with the world
Great introduction to Freud. I like the concept of psychology as “engineering”
This lecture was amazing! I had no idea about Freud before hand. In only knew the stereotypes but after watching this I am blown away! Great lexture! Great topic!
This man is freaking brilliant wish i had him during college
This is an excellent course! Thank you professor Peterson; it seems like every minute is jam packed with profound yet useful knowledge applicable to one's every day life.
1:09:14 - 1:09:28 The ability to take a simple sentence and convert it into its abstract classes at a word level. Genius.
Thank you to the SJW crowd in Toronto who launched Peterson into world wide view! Excellent backfire !
Hahaha so true
No. It doesn’t.
So what your saying is……. Thank you Cathy Newman
Many people these days have a lot to say. Thank god that some of them are actually worth listening to
Thank you so much for this post. This man is extremely knowledgeable and gifted in delivering it to the people. Without this posting of this man and his lectures on KZclip I would have never had the great opportunity to ponder these ideas and such a cohesive and interesting way.
This lecture is really great because it gives structure to what we learned before
I wouldn't mind a quarter mil student loan if all the faculty in my school would at least measure to a tenth of the professor's brilliance.
You are simply one of the best, and interesting teacher ever! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🌹 if at least 60% of all teachers was like you the university would be the most interesting place in the world.
What a great lecturer. A true master at his craft.
Dr Peterson. Your lectures have been so useful to me. I am a psychologist. Thanks a lot!
I've followed Prof. Peterson for 4+ years now but was directed recently to later episodes in this academic series, I guess, because KZclip recognized I was a devotee of Russian literature so, after watching those, I began at the beginning. In this segment I feel that he really inhabits the material. He is discussing Freud extemporaneously, following his notes, in a fashion that truly expresses what his mind knows. It's primal and pure.
Wow, I am blessed to have across this. What a teacher! Just and simply GREAT.
I deeply felt in love with your teachings! Thank you so much Dr. Peterson!
He's actually just such a nice guy who is devoted to his students.
Now knowing the difficulties JBP was going through at this point, makes these lectures that much more profound and enlightening in showing the kind of man that he is.
thank you immensely.
This might be the single most enlightening lecture on Freud ive ever heard,
You sure were a smart lad back then!
You know, I found out about you because of the SJW stuff, but this is way more interesting. It resonates with me and feels more correct than anything I've heard from any clinical shrink I've ever talked to.
Some shrinks are amazing but most I’ve talked to are less intelligent than they need to be to do this intense and important a job. A lot of them are even nihilists. And a lot don’t care about you. If you don’t have enough for a good quality shrink this is better than a bad one I promise.
Clinical shrinks are not there to lecture you on psychological theory.
He was looking rough here, he looks 200x more healthier now things are getting better in his life. I'm grateful for all this content. I didn't get to go to his show this year due to work bs. But thank you, I wouldn't of stayed alive and taken my own life through drugs&suicidal thoughts. Tried justification of my own self destruction. Then I destroyed those thoughts, which freed me from those chains. I have some chains to break but I'm getting there. It wouldn't have been possible without this man's chicken soup while I was extremely sick. Thank you Dr. Peterson
Brilliant JBP 👏 Having this man around is a blessing.
During this lecture he announced a film for the next one, but he never said the name. Any idea on which film he is talking about ? Thanks !
One of my favorites of his lectures. The idea that we can be precisely scientific and objective with what's going on in people's heads seems a bit far fetched, so the best you're going to get is a tool to help you chisel at the edges, and that's what Freud and Jung offered.

@Gourkis Firstly, thank you so much for taking your time to write such a detailed reply. Was not expecting this at all. :)
Ah so that is the counsellor personality? You have an amazing gift, as this means you 'listen' to people and listen well, and truth be told, that's mostly what we (atleast i) want desperately.
Pills may help during anxiety attack or extreme distress situations, but really, life has come to such a point, no medicine would work. i listen to professor every night (i get a little over 1 and half hr at night to eat and everything) and reflect on my thoughts, how i faced the day, etc and it helps me tremendously. Sometimes i write them in a comment or write on an online journal to help.
i don't think i can grasp Jung without Professor Peterson, but i will give it a look, thank you.
You would also be correct. I believe that pills can sometimes help people, by "masking" what is "actually" going on inside of them.
But by no means, could that ever fix them. When I started listening to Dr. Peterson, I also found out about Dr. Jung.
Listening to things from Dr. Jung just made sense to me. I think that so much from him was swept under the rug. Because he didn't fit the "pill model" that is pushed upon everyone today.
Dr. Jung was once considered to have went crazy, but he also fixed himself. And was also able to do the same for his patients.
By listening to them, and then helping them to make sense of what was going on inside of them.
From what I understand, and relate to about him... He was truly an amazing person and blessing to the field of psychology.
His personality type, as far as I'm concerned. Was also specifically designed for psychoanalysis.
I share that same type, and have been naturally drawn to studying people's thinking, behavior, and their well being...
Ever since I was a small child or knew that psychology even existed.
That personality type is not called
"The Counselor" for nothing.
I'm not saying that everyone with this type is guaranteed to be good at it, or that other types couldn't be.
But I do believe that people with certain personality types are better suited and probably prefer certain fields over others, based on their type.
Fascinating and useful stuff to know, I feel like I improved a bit as a person by listening to this.
Thank you Jordan for your lectures. They are life changing.
Thanks for publishing this lesson for all of us .
Thank you sooo much for your honesty in those times where stupidity is being constantly promoted by the government
You know Peterson talks a lot about how humans find it really useful to just throw themselves at a problem and in the process of dealing with it they improve as a person generally, and I feel like it's really cool to be able to see how that has played out to a large extent in his time in the public spot light. You can in this video that he is a lot less refined than he has become. Not to say that his style in this is "bad," and the topics are still very much interesting, but it is cool to see how has become such an intellectual/explanatory power house in the time that he has been actively engaged in public discourse to the extent that he has since the whole pronouns thing. There is a sort of clarity conviction in the way he presents now that adds to the impact of his explanations really powerfully. I definitely wouldn't wanna try to debate something with the guy thats for sure. Or at least with the intent to win haha.
Freudian psychoanalytic theory is a guide to understanding how human personality develops. Freud was an extremely attentive and sensitive man.
Somebody posted in one of his other lectures that I found so VERY true. "Its like I'm trying to sip knowledge from a fire hose at full pressure"
"What time is it, it must be getting close because you all are getting rustly."
Adorable. Love it, lol.
That was an interesting lecture. I hope in the lectures about existentialism, you would point at Sartre's existential psychoanalysis in which there is a room for intentionality, choice and decision. From this point of view, emotions like anger don't stem from sub-personalities or drives, but they are purposeful and part of our choices and our way of dealing with the world.
For anybody who couldn't hear/make out what Freud dictates in the recording at the beginning:
"I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients. Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges, and so on. Out of these findings grew a new science, psychoanalysis, a part of psychology, and a new method of treatment of the neuroses. I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavory. Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I succeeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psychoanalytic Association. But the struggle is not yet over."
Thank you for sharing your lectures with the world.
freud, jung, rank, reich, ferenczi = a complete psychological model. great video thank you JB
Jordan Peterson is the equivalent to having a neuralink that feeds you psychology information, which is probably the most important information you would want connected to your brain.
Another wonderfully informative lecture.
I had a dream that I was reaching my arm as far I could and Jordan's hand was clasping mine, as if pulling me out of or into something and towards him. In a lecture explaining Carl Jung's interpretation of dreams, Peterson said "Jung believed the dream is trying to express a reality that is outside of fully articulated conscious comprehension" or "the dream is telling you something you don't know." While I'm not sure I fully believe that, and his presence in my dream is probably a consequence of my interest in his lectures, it's entertaining and interesting to think about it (and other dreams) according to Jung's interpretation.
I hope you make the history books, Dr. Peterson. You are one of the greatest minds of our time. ❤
Thank you for your lectures.. Always a pleasure!
This was absolutely great. Thanks!
I majored in Political Science. It won out over what ended up being a near-sighted choice...I should have learned more about my own inner workings rather than thinking I could fix anything out in the world while I was still broken and resentful of how little of a voice I had in University. I got my education but I gave in to my worst demons in the process. I'd like to say thank you for your lectures as they afford me an opportunity to learn about a subject of which I've always had an un-kindled interest. Is the Book list for this class posted anywhere online?
Ares P his previous lecture on Jung described true artist being at the edge and could relate archetypes in stories knowing they worked and not necessarily why.
I found for me Jordan has found a way to address a deeper older knowledge that modern culture overlooks but needs. I think his appeal is such that we sense what he says are archetypical constants but not necessarily know why.
@BirdBrainViz Don't pay that any mind. That's just someone spewing empty negativity just for the sake of spewing it.
I have been able to find a sense of peace, and help myself by working through a few different things, since I became aware of him.
Things that troubled me that I had been struggling with for some time now.
Since I started listening to Dr. Peterson and looking into other things related to human behavior, our psychology, our relationship to each other, and the things in our environments.
I "personally" have felt much better, but that's just me... and I'm sure thousands of other people.
If that wasn't the case, Dr. Peterson would hardly even be relevant.
i dnt thnk thr's anything tht cn save you, like u wnt pyschology too, but it can give you tools that can help
Jordan Peterson majored in political science
stony tina Are you saying this from experience? And if so, why hasn't it helped? I'm genuinely curious.
I want to buy his books just to support him. I used to be able to understand what he was saying and now my brain only grabs one subject out of everything he says and translates it into my brain language which is mostly videos.
Absolutely excellent lecture.
Thank you for this video, I just had a lecture on Freud in my psychology course and the lecturer went on about Diversity, equity and inclusion, his pronouns and how Freud was a white male. This is one of the top 150 universities in the world…
Dude gets his well deserved applause all the time!)
Mr Peterson, my name is Taymour Janekeh. Thank you for this video. You've had a big influence on me, and your videos, alongside the works of Nietszche, Freud and Jung are currently influencing my next animated fantasy epic cartoon.
@Esan Hannan Thanks, you too
@WORLD ORDER Good luck with all your projects. This was a great talk !
@Esan Hannan Not yet! I have other projects i've had to prioritise!
And did you make the cartoon yet?
About that epigenetics subject you opened up, there is an experiment that has been done not too long ago, where they selected the most tame of foxes, and started breeding them and selecting the most tame of them and so on, 6 generations after, I believe, the foxes had pretty much dog-like characteristics...
I just discovered these lectures and they're fabulous. Such a distillation. Sadly KZclip has now enacted the policy of one part program and one part ad.
1:11:37 When you walk threw a grass field
At first no marks and so on marks the more you go threw it the easier it is to get to a certain conclusion
I really liked the way nick vazquez approached this
Education at its best. I owe you so much.
Jordan Peterson is great, he looks so young here, Ive never watched the older lectures beyond 2016, the carnivore diet really did change his physique tremendously, it's pretty crazy now that I see where he came from.
One thing that I like about you, Jordan, is how painful how your thought process is. That's good.
Yes! The truth will always come to Light! Dr. Peterson is a National Treasure for sure on many levels. It could be, in the course of time, that professors and psychologists will be adding Peterson's name to the long line of other historical and notable psychologists.
Absolutely brilliant
So thankful to have found this lecture on Freud.
Throughout my entire undergraduate degree, all of my professors basically laughed at Psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic theory without genuinely articulating why. There seems to be a backlash to Freud's case studies methods, particularly on upper-middle-class white people, as they are not a representative sample of the general population. Ironically, the large majority of contemporary psychological theory is based on white psychology students and thus is also not representative of the population at large. I really can't understand this hatred for Freud and this overt bias toward CBT, despite the shallow theraptuic approach invloved in CBT.
I fell asleep listening to this last night and had crazy weird philosophically questioning dreams last night. Opened the video this afternoon to try to pickup where i left off... skipped to the middle of the video and the first thing i heard was Jordan passionately explaining “THE RATS ARENT THAT INTERESTED IN COCAINE!”..... I lol’d
Fantastic, thank you Dr JBP
"If you were Darwin and not nervous? yeah well..." made my week.
Perfect! There is also an X-ray of the mind and consciousness in the background.
Fascinating lecture.
I enjoyed this lecture immensely. Could someone please provide me with the name of the movie the professor is going to show his students.
Crumb 1994
answer my dudes plz
i would like to know aswell!
:)
Dang I am a bit shocked by your presence in this video. You're out of breath(?), exhausted(?), generally appear ill. You're obviously healthier now. Thank God for that, you're a valuable resource for many of us.
Honor Ali definitely a bad day 😂 but yes he looks much better now
Here's a transcript of that Freud recording. Even if you look up the original it's hard to understand his voice (he had mouth cancer at the time):
"I started my professional activity as a neurologist trying to bring relief to my neurotic patients.
Under the influence of an older friend and by my own efforts, I discovered some important and new facts about the unconscious in psychic life, the role of instinctual urges and so on.
Out of these findings grew a new science, Psycho-Analysis, a part of psychology and a new method of treatment of the neuroses.
I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck. People did not believe in my facts and thought my theories unsavoury.
Resistance was strong and unrelenting. In the end I suceeded in acquiring pupils and building up an International Psycho-Analytic Association. But this struggle is not yet over. Sigmund Freud."
“I had to pay heavily for this bit of good luck.” - Sigmund Freud “
Watching this in 2022 makes me realize just how consistently brilliant Dr. Peterson has been across time, as well as how great and healthy he looks since dropping a few dozen pounds over the last number of years😂😂. In reality Jordan would still be much sharper than us all even if he resembled jabba the hut.
DR . Peterson how do you let things go? You answer will be a lot of help and get my life together with a meaningful aim that I have thank you I appreciate for you work thank you sir
That was awesome. Thanks JP
BEYOND BRILLIANT! I love you Jordan Peterson! You are REAL. And RIGHT ON!!!
WOW!! Thanks for posting.
I thought the part about Freud’s genius was compelling due to the comparison with a manic person’s delusion that they were a genius was striking: really puts into perspective how intellectual explorations of uncharted psychological territories can be seen as both so revolutionarily and divinely brilliant to such a degree that the only way to explain the problems posed by the very nature of their own complexity is via a comparison to the gibberings of a thoroughly ill person possessed by manic delusions convinced that say they were God. Its as if the concept of how ‘Yahweh created the world out of form and void’ can be likened to understanding a derivation of klingon translated into a multi-dimensional semaphore for tesseract technology, only to have the sole recorded instance of its divine message being piped through several layers of encrypted mimeographs, squashed into glue, built into a house, destroyed, with the semitones of it’s destruction turned into a song that was covered by a 90’s grunge band and piped over a school loudspeaker.
Dude you need to use punctuation when you type analogies. I have no clue what you’re saying
I learn psychology coz I have depression. It helps me understand me.

Wow, words have no meaning to what is he speaks. Truly full lessons of how it all works as a humanity. As it is to evolve so spontaneous without a doubt.
Living legend
Sifting through everything you teach, but for this one I am having a hard time, you seem quite unwell... Thank you though Mr.Peterson
Thank you for this content
Why is it no college professor can ever finish the subjects in the same class they start. Seriously it’s an hour
Brilliant!
If I saw you in person I would laugh so hard and so much. The classic, "Wahaha! It's funny 'cause it's true." You own.
Good idea -- stick with laughing, because you can't write a coherent sentence or think your way out of a paper bag.
Dr. Peterson is a gem, a walking treasure of knowledge and wisdom, I imagine that one day people will look back at him similar to people like Issac Newton, someone who can understand and be able to explain concepts that aren't fully understood yet, but also be able to advance them in some way by making these understanding public knowledge regardless of what people threaten him with
1:08 "He was helpfully wrong."
57:51 "Complex forms can emerge in the absence of an intelligent designer."
There is some Freud-Movie/Documentary he mentiones in his talk, anyone knows which one he talked about? I'd like to see that :)
What the heck was the movie called? Aw! Wonderful leacture, though I'm well versed in the topics (most) i had a wonderful time listening to him.
@aqupodoben really? Thank you if you're true 😊 Id you're not, I'm not impressed. idntrn!
Crumb 1994
Glad to see he got that hypothalamus under control and dropped the diet coke habit. He'll be in the middle of a sentence and suddenly his brain goes "sugar!" and his arm happily responds.
I was thinking about that while going through all of his lectures, especially in comparison to his 2017 class and lecture tours. It's all water after that point 👍
Slips of the tongue aren't always as deep as they might seem.
"People make slips of the tum", when the next punctuated word is "time" ("all the time"). It's not so far fetched that sometimes it's just the wrong sounds that come out.
The recording is hard to hear on video. Great content though. Thankyou Mr. Peterson
