    I’m an academic. Not only did I have to write a diversity statement for my job, I was asked to revise it AFTER I was hired. The word “tolerance” was “not inclusive enough.” You can’t make this stuff up. Not sure if this is even discussed here but this is my guy.
  • I'd like to thank Dr. Peterson for year's of free therapy helpful while poor.
  • @alexmeier1
    It is important to remember that most people with cluster B personality disorders are completely unaware that they have a cluster B personality disorder.
  • @BPrim-ce5zw
    This is one of my favourite episodes. I like when JBP has someone else who is familiar with psychological literature at a level that is comparable. You get another perspective on relative material.
  • Huh. A thing my mother used to do to me a lot was stare at me for long periods of time with a totally blank face while my father mocked me for being uncomfortable. Never knew it was a documented thing before
  • Dr. Peterson, I would love to meet you for even an hour. I loved my mother very much, but she had deep, deep issues which resulted from childhood trauma. I think she did her best. But I was an adult raising an alcoholic and prescription abuser at the age of 14. I talked my mother down out of suicide attempts. I still to this day do not know what her official diagnosis would have been, but in all accounts I should be really messed up. I had a grandmother that I looked at like my mother. And my mother was comforting and loving, when she was lucid or okay. I swore I would never repeat my mother’s mistakes, and while I’m not perfect, I think I have done okay. Attachment theory was very strong to me with my children, but I also knew they needed to fail at times. My kids right now are happy and healthy, but teens…so there are ups and downs for sure. This talk is fascinating to me because I do not know how I escaped my childhood relatively unharmed (I mean there is emotional harm for sure)…but I saw therapists on my own when I was old enough and I came to accept that I could never save my mother, but I also wondered for a long time why I wasn’t worth it to her. I’m just barely into this talk but I had to share.
  • In name of the future society, I’m very glad, honored and proud of having people like you! If I was your son I would be so proud of having the courageous father for keeping standing for what is correct and true. 🙌🏻👏🏼

    I have a cluster b mother and i tend towards avoidant personality. I love her but I'm convinced something happened to her as a toddler because she behaves just like one, ive gone no contact to save my sanity
  • @whatnew1331
    Playing outside with friends as a kid, rocked!
  • @forge5825
    From birth my mother never showed me any love my entire life. To her I was on the same level as a piece of furniture. Ignored and forgotten. It utterly destroyed me for the majority of my life. Thank God for Ayahuasca. First time I ever felt love in my life and its the reason I'm still here.

    Dr. Peterson asks the questions our souls desire to be answered
  • @carolle2532
    Great guest J. D. Haltigan👍 thank you Dr Jordan Peteterson
  • The psychological integrity of the mother (of trans patients) is the subject being ignored in modern instituion. The mothers are full of unhealed sexual rage and in order to avoid reinvigorating their toxic shame, they deflect vulnerable experiences of sexual development in their children and jump on board with whatever "other" idea the child comes up with. Absolutely toxic abandonment of self for the sake of the Mothers survival.
  • In infancy the infant is completely dependent. I don't believe an infants cry should ever be ignored. Not that a parent can't go to the bathroom, prepare a bottle, or grab a diaper. Response should be as prompt as possible. The infant will still cry enough to develop strong lungs. As the infant matures to around 4 months, hopefully, you've got a fairly good schedule on board. This is foundational for secure attachment. Ideally, a mom has help because responding to an infants every need is no easy task, especially if one has other children.

    Very nice talk. Jordan, your generosity to provide this functional display of Haltigan's expertise and professionalism for potential employers is not lost. Haltigan's preparation for the interview and execution met your generosity. Bravo to you both and best of luck in the market! You are loved and cherished by millions.
  • I absolutely adore this human being, so blessed to have you on this planet Jordan Peterson
  • I have finally settled down enough to listen and absorb and I’m so glad I did. I just finished the Daily Wire section and I have so much respect for Dr. Haltigan and so much anticipation for Peterson Academy. Loads of thoughts to share but this platform is not permitting me to do so. You know, Dr. Peterson, in every comment section, there are people who want to talk to you, and I do wonder if Peterson Academy could be a place to earn that. If someone wishing to speak with you could do excellent work and catch your attention that way, wouldn’t that mean a lot to people who have ideas of merit but who haven’t seen their work crowned with success yet? And your encouragement could bolster them to press on, as listening to your lectures encouraged me to do? Something I’ve been thinking about lately. With Ruth Anne’s love. ❤
  • @KoruGroveArt
    What an incredible interview. I’m very excited for the future knowing these two have a voice ❤
  • The discussion about screens is something I’ve noticed a lot at my work. I work part time at a local sandwich shop, and there are constantly customers on their phones while I’m taking their orders. I often leave them be, but sometimes I just ask them how their day’s going. It occasionally ends up spiraling into a 20-30 minute conversation where we end up talking about the insanity of the culture shift in this country. It is so interesting to see how many different industries have been affected by the digitization of life. I’ve had conversations with people ranging from film to agriculture and they all talk about how much they’ve noticed a change in sales or culture around the products they sell in relation to computers and how willing people are to leave their homes even just for a few hours to do something in the outside world
  • @dubpynchon1
    Great video. I think blue screen addiction isn’t taken seriously enough, our brains are wired to wake at blue light and it’s an easy stimulation.
