Women, Politics, Personality, and Self Esteem | Eric Kaufmann | EP 453

At 61, here in the uk I went back to college to study photography....I should have known better. It was bad enough 40 years ago, but this time around , being in a creative acedemic environment was truly insufferable- I felt as if I couldn't breathe out; the fragility and self-importance of both staff and students had me walking on eggshells from the minute I walked through the door. Something needs to change.

I am so, so thankful that my 28 year old daughter did not become a toxic feminist's, she survived four years of college, 3 years of her Master's Degree which is a miracle to me when she did high, college, and university in DC. In her high school the obamas visited , in college nancy pelosi visited, etc. My daughter is married and has given me two precious grandsons and my third grandson is going to be born at the end of August which means it's two months away. Thank you so much Doctor Peterson. I am an immigrant woman born in Honduras. My personal experience living in DC I can say that I have been discriminated most by blacks, and hispanics.I do not take it personal because I feel sorry for them because I know that they just losers and full of hate. Hate is not from God. Hate, division, entitlement, victimhood, etc come straight from satan. I am jus thankful to be alive and have the opportunity of living in the USA for over 25 years. Deo gratias.

A local university has had a program for several years now that allows Seniors 62 years old and older to attend one class per semester for free. I decided to start attending several years ago just to be myself and have influence just by being authentically myself a older (67 currently) white male Christian. So far, I have taken several writing classes (Poetry, Fiction). By not being offended and clearly explaining myself (I’m not there to fight) not mind being a lighting rod. Because I wanted to hear them, they started to want to hear me. I believe if more seniors reengage younger generations and just be who they are. They really love most of our stories. Don’t try to convert just be. Thank you for the conversation.

I am 32, a millennial and have only just within the last year and a half or so changed my beliefs from being quite progressive to now fairly conservative. I had one PC class that pushed critical race theory or a version of it back in 2013 and have a very liberal mother and family whom I know argue over politics with. Even though DW is going through some things I have them to thank for breaking into my silly progressive brain with YouTube shorts and Instagram reels back in 2021. Thank you Ben, Candace and Jordan 😆

Dearest Dr. Peterson, it was such a joy to meet you last night. I was so shy and you were so gentle and tender with the shy ones. I was shy because I couldn’t imagine that you would recognize me and know me from my visiting with you here in the comment section and you DID and I get tears in my eyes thinking of it. And then I knew there wasn’t anything to be shy about, it’s just you, and you’re just the same in person as you are on camera, and I’m just the same in person as I am in my writing only shyer at first. I will fill you in on how things go with my literary agent as soon as I have any updates to share. It is amazing to me that of all the literary agents who represent my genre, the one agent who requested my full manuscript was one who handled your translation rights for the translation of “Twelve Rules” and “Beyond Order” into Hebrew. The reason this connection is so poignant to me is that without you, Dr. Peterson, there would not have been a completed manuscript. There would only have been a raw and unedited finished but shelved project filed under “failures.” And now it has a fighting chance of being a book that might serve to give comfort and hope to someone. Someday I hope to tell you all about it, and how you taught me that story matters, face to face. Until then, here is a hug until I can give you another one in person. With Ruth Anne’s love

In the current clown world we're living through, it's awesome to hear logical, common sense perspectives by Dr. Peterson

When i enrolled in a community collage one of our 1st semester classes was a humanities class, There was this "good ole country boy" from another small town nearby. He stood up in class during a lecture and told the instructor "you are so full of it, you trying to get us not to believe in God!"

Love, compassion, loyalty to the truth-not a party

Misplaced maternal instincts, absolutely. We were raised with every teacher, coach, etc telling us to wait to get married and have kids and never stop working. Women and children have suffered for this!!

I live in Africa and we have an international school which goes up to high school and my experience of these children is that they are very thoroughly indoctrinated by the time they leave!

Protect Canada at all cost against liberal wokeism.

Eric Kaufmann is a Canadian treasure. I just wished you talked more about his ideas on mass immigration he's one of the most educated people on the cultural shift in the west due to mass immigration. It's like sitting down with Mike Tyson and only talking about his weed company.

I own my truck(semi) and PC culture has a grave impact in the economy. Because one can see that private institutions due to the intrusion of government in the economy and morality via micromanaging, are doing exactly the same, even if one owns it’s business one is micromanaged until one is completely demoralized, minimized, dehumanized and eventually unmotivated, then despair is inevitable. Don’t people see how decrepit is our infrastructure? Why addiction per capita is way higher in the blue laborer class? Everything affects the economy.

The Left sent me here...

Jordan hit a solid point there at the end section. Japan established a culture/ethos of trust and honesty. This culture is the necessary backbone in good governance. I had a conversation recently with an older Filipino that was a political science major at UP. We talked about how the government and justice system is corrupt. Then I asked him "If the government is so corrupt, why don't the people revolt and overthrow the current system?" He said the systems in place are heavily influenced by, and resembles the West's, and the reason for the country's poor economic condition is due to corruption. But this corruption is based on problems endemic to the culture. There is a slave mentality baked in from the time of the Spanish rule. One feature of this is 'forever indebtedness'. Say for example, a politician pulls strings to help your family out of a bad situation, you will feel forever indebted to that politician and vote for them, regardless of the policies they have, that's a problem. Now, imagine, the strings the politician used to help you, makes his subordinates think the public's money is not being used honestly. Now you have a "give up-ism" mentality that makes policeman and judges think "If the money from this traffic ticket will just end up going into the pockets of someone it doesn't belong to, I'll just take a bribe for a lesser amount and forget it happened". Honesty is the best public policy.

I'm getting told that I did wrong in saying something that hurt someone's feelings by a person who says nothing to their friends who lie or cheat.

Teach people how to question everything and how to recognize when they are being manipulated (Ad hominems and logical fallacies etc)

Well defended position and I feel Peterson may start adopting more of this stance in the future. I definitely learned the importance of early education on indoctrination as well, the evidence seems mounting. Its the main reason I quit teaching. I couldnt stand what my colleges where teaching the children, nor what the length I had to go to, to adopt the material I forced to teach to not the leave the intended perspective on the students.

I watched 10 hours of his work in the past 2 days

I absolutely know that I don't need a doctorate degree in human studies, to capture what I see going on right now. And it floors me. It couldn't be more real than it is. Not enough people are seeing it. And that saddens me. "It" isn't fair, and "it" doesn't care.
