Jordan Peterson | Full Address and Q&A | Oxford Union

This is what we used to expect when we went to a university.

A Peterson a day keeps the lunatics at bay.

“Conceptual dispute is the substitute for war and death.” What a magnificent articulation! A great discussion!

I wish someone would give Dr. Peterson an award for honesty, forthrightness, and integrity. He makes his points with specific examples and nails the idiocy of political correctness to the door. Bravo, sir. You have my undying respect.

You can see when that asian boy had his question answered, he was the one to applaud the most, even though he initially disagreed. Those are the kind of people everyone wishes to debate, people who put forward good arguments, but can admit when they hear a more convincing one.

If Jordan Peterson came in a happy meal as an action figure I would buy it.

Jordan Peterson, as far as I'm concerned, is (and always will be) the king of the north. I'm so excited to see him next year. I signed up for a 'meet and greet" and I'm afraid I'll get emotional because he's changed my life so much. As a disabled veteran, I can't thank him enough.

The young British/Asian gentleman in the glasses asked a pointed, well articulated question. Peterson answered him with a well formulated response. The young man received the answer favorably. This is an example of good and constructive dialogue in action. Something you RARELY see in the media.

Love the way he responded to the older lady, who didn't really have a question - she just wanted to make a statement. He looked straight at her, and then expanded on what she was saying, making her feel valued and respected for her comments. And he would have carried on talking to her, if the guy introducing him hadn't moved on to someone else. How often do you see that - someone so respectful and careful with other people's dignity. That shows nobility of character, and humility. A whole lesson in itself.

This lecture wasn't long enough. He had some excellent questions and had the time to actually articulate answers without interruption. Could have easily had 3 hours. This lecture shows, as Jordan expressed, that these older universities, where people value their place, hold much more respect for the value of academia, and open honest discussion. Such values should be reinforced in the weider world.

Lefty-liberal here. This man didn't say anything that I had ANY problem with. I was VERY impressed and will totally be seeking his stuff out from now on.

This is where Youtube and social media platforms can be a blessing. To be able to watch Jordan Peterson speak at such a prominent venue among the world's future thinkers. I am grateful for having stumbled upon this.

Dr. Petersen needs a nobel prize if such is available for his discipline in psychotherapy analysis because of his knowledge in this discipline. How human's minds work AND his knowledge of the way society works within groups together with his excellent use of words and English language makes him a force to reckon with and such a wonderful work of art of combining differemt elements to give us the whole picture! Bravo Dr. Petersen. You are truly a gift to all in this time where everything note worthy psychologically speaking has become so disjointed that socities are literally falling apart. Higher education has failed due to infiltrations of those who seek to control and not teach, listen, discuss, debate and learn. God bless you and the efforts you put into teaching millions of us through these talks on how exactly we humans work. You are the human operating system step by step, guide book!

This Peterson guy keeps interrupting my ad experience!

someone was trying to pay off their student debt with those ads

I’ve said it before and I’m going today it again, I pray that these youngsters are aware of just how fortunate and Blessed they are to have this Man in their midst and are able to learn something from him.

Q and A sessions was fantastic, the exchange between the Asian student and Jordan Peterson was really one of the best examples I’ve seen of effectively reaching a common ground of mutual understanding regarding a contentious topic or issue. Hats off the the student for his articulation and open mindedness.

This is why I love the internet. An interview where a question is asked and the response is allowed in completeness, uninterrupted. As opposed to mass media and a 30 second response time, which when entering innovative ideas, 30 seconds is certainly not possible, not only not possible, but make the response "crazy" in the minds of the surface idea idiots. Thus we learning nothing in an accusatory, fast response environment, and the same old ideas remain seemingly as the only "sane" answer.....stagnation is the result.
