In this speech at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Jordan shared recent thoughts on ethics, scripture, and the problem of perception. He asked the audience to reflect on how we remember great stories (but seem to instantly forget bad ones), why Western culture ended up being a book (instead of—say—a sickle), and whether the West truly is a “phallogocentric" culture.

All of this, Jordan says, tied to a broader possibility—perhaps his “most radical claim"—that, as we navigate the value structures we call reality, a lot of so-called “navigational” problems are really veiled ethical ones.

    It was a privilege to host you on our campus! Thank you for coming to speak to our students, faculty, and staff!

    I’m not very religious, simply due to not being raised very religious, however I have almost all traditional Christian values and I’m starting to read the Bible cover to cover, super excited
  • @loverlei79
    My mom read the entire Bible several times to me as a child. Then i read it myself. I just assumed every Christian read the Bible. To my utter shock, almost every Christian I've ever met in my entire adult life - has never read the Bible. It's always my mission to get Christians to actually read the book and not just sheep through their life.
  • Its amazing seeing a future historical thinker while he's still alive. What comes after him that's thanks to him will in no doubt be overwhelmingly positive for all of us.

    I need to thank you JP for bringing me to Christ. I found you when I was a hardened atheist, and miserable. To fast forward a lot of years, I just got baptized in Jesus’ name last Sunday 🕊💗 thank you! God bless you all
  • Thank you for uploading all these lectures and discussions for free. I have been stuck in China throughout the pandemic and listening to these keeps me sane and educated simultaneously.
  • Praise the Lord God Almighty!. I magnify your name!. Yahweh I give you all the glory for my life!. Forgive my sins and my unconfessed sins Lord!. Lord I want more of y0u and less of me!. I thank y0u f0r y0ur pr0tecti0n!. I am truly blessed and highly favored I sit in heavenly places and I am the son of a mighty King!. I l0ve y0u Jesus!. Lord I pray for those wh0 don't know you in an intimate way that they will humble themselves and come to know you on bending knees asking for their forgiveness!. Father I bind the spirit of pride!. I release love, kindness, patience, humility in the name 0f Jesus!. I followed my heart and I am glad I did. I l0st my wife 2 years ag0 due t0 the pandemic and I was about giving up, knowing God has brought me this far was for a purpose and I kept on looking on to him. My destiny helper was sent t0 me the year my wife died. The moment I was about giving up, I was introduced to a business by a man I met at a seminar I went to at Florida. This was not my first time hearing of such business but I took the risk Investin 1000 USD and it was worth it information@markhanfarmer., COM , 4 weeks later I kept on getting earnings and I started using the m0ney for Gods work. I am very popular in Mississippi. Doing G0ds work gives me J0y and peace in my mind. I am here to motivate y0u t0 never give up even though the situation seems s0 t0ugh,. God has pr0mised his children and he will surely d0 what he pr0mised.

    Quite incredible speech. One of the greatest minds in our lifetime. Canada’s university’s loss has been the worlds gain. That is if you are listening with an open mind. Thank you Mr. Peterson
  • Jordan's lectures on the Bible have made me rethink everything in the best way possible. Thank you Jordan.
  • I started reading the Bible thanks to your lectures, and when I found my faith my depression went away just like that, and now I think to myself ”what a blessing this day is” every time I go outside. Dr Peterson, you saved my life. God bless you.
  • I started reading the bible 2 years ago, but kinda gave up after the old testament, I think now it's the time to pick it up again
  • This lecture was amazing. It's like 5 years worth of lectures condensed into just the necessary words. Nietzsche would be proud!
  • @Gottaculat
    Saw this when I woke up. Figured I'd watch a couple minutes before making breakfast. 54 minutes later, I'm still in bed, haven't showered, haven't eaten. As always, one can never just watch a few minutes of a Dr. Peterson lecture; they're just too damn interesting and profoundly deep.
  • That's it, I'm convinced. I will FINALLY read the Bible. I've always been aware of its importance, but it had never had this much importance to ME. Now I feel like I MUST read it.
  • @laura8512
    I am so glad that I have had an opportunity to follow Peterson from the beginning of his original struggle with University. I have learned so much by his teaching and Thorough explanations of his thought process. And now renewing my mind of the truth that is in the historical books of the Bible with meaning. May God continue to bless you and your family with good health and safety as you continue reaching out to the world to make it a better place.
  • @firebirdstark
    Good faith discussions and talks about the Bible, ethics and morals, digging down to the roots of even human understanding, are so fascinating. Thank God for these, so refreshing and meaningful. We get that much closer to the truth every time we do this
  • I saw this live and it blew my mind. The thing that kept running through my head the entire time listening to him was "I can't believe I'm listening to Jordan Peterson." This man truly is larger than life, most of the doctors and professors in the room looked like incoming freshman furiously taking notes listening to him speak. We are blessed to listen to Dr. Peterson who will go down as one of the most influential thinkers in the West.
  • @tomjeff1743
    Closing in on 5M subs. How remarkable is that. We are blessed to be alive today. When times are perilous great men rise.
  • I love how genuine Peterson is as a speaker. He has his basic ideas coming in yet speaks spontaneously without notes
