DR. JORDAN B. PETERSON is a renowned psychologist, globally acclaimed author, podcaster, Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto, and one the most influential contemporary voices in our world today. For twenty years, Peterson has taught some of the most highly regarded courses at Harvard and Toronto, as well as authored books that have changed international discourse — including “Maps of Meaning” and the bestsellers “12 Rules for Life” and “Beyond Order”. With a magnetic and brutally honest speaking style, and a fiercely devoted following, Peterson continues to leave his mark on the culture at large.

In April of 2023, Tony & Sage Robbins hosted an intimate gathering at their home for their Platinum Lions members. The event featured an elite roster of speakers who delved into the pressing issues of our time: Foreign relations, how AI will reshape global order, the new economy in a post-pandemic world, the impact of Chat GPT, international politics, and cultural revolutions.

Closing the special event was this extraordinary lecture from Dr. Jordan Peterson. In this provocative presentation, Peterson explores the profound question of why we — as individuals — hold the beliefs we do, while teaching us how to intricately weave the concept of storytelling into our narrative. He also embarks on a discovery to uncover order amidst chaos, as well as touches on the importance of overcoming external predators by confronting them head-on.

Jordan spoke for 27 minutes as a stream of consciousness. 🤔

I would be very surprised if Tony agrees with Dr. Petersons's political views.

Dragan Petrovic says:

Who knows what is the truth and what is tyranny? We are all talking about North Korea and if we compare it with the US during Corona I can not see the difference. People without freedom? Not traveling? Hate speech? Censorship? Absolute power attacks other countries? Are we talking about North Korea or the USA?

Canal Aleatório says:

Tony deserves the movie about his story.

Don Rosco says:

Excellent.
Thank you everyone.

Blue Ocean says:

Yeah, but all the greats always miss addressing one major theme, which is brokenness.

Sometimes, I feel like reaching through this screen and just strangling people for their ignorance.

Most folks of higher education and quality of life really have no idea. When thing are in a constant state of brokenness and all your efforts have fallen short… we'll it doesn't take a genius to understand when your beat and you'd be an idiot to keep getting up when pushed down. That's the plain Ole truth.

This isn't about having tough skin. It's about trying to get through to people how beaten and controlled we currently are. These "normal" middle to upper class are just as much to blame.

I'm telling you, people are ready for civil war. You're either going to be on one side or the other. You won't be given a choice.

Andy Surfer says:

Very grateful for you both.

Jorge Rodiles says:

tener el retrato de Jesús en la cruz no es una buena idea de ninguna manera continuar (también tiene otro simbolismo con la cruz egipcia que significa idolatría y paganismo)

Como cristianos debemos recordar su sacrificio pero más que eso, debemos recordar y creer en su nueva realidad, que el está en la presencia de Dios el padre y saber también que está en su nuevo cuerpo vivo y no muerto! eso nos da la esperanza porque esa es nuestra promesa de resucitar de entre los muertos o ser transformados tal como el es ahora

having the portrait of Jesus on the cross is not a good idea in any way to continue (it also has other symbolism with the Egyptian cross which means idolatry and paganism)

As Christians we must remember his sacrifice but more than that, we must remember and believe in his new reality, that he is in the presence of God the Father and also know that he is in his new body alive and not dead! That gives us hope because that is our promise to rise from the dead or be transformed as he is now.

Nikita Webber says:

Women join cults by the dozens. Facts don't matter.

David Turcotte says:

I would love to be able to ask JBP a simple question: Is god a man?

Gillian Moody says:

Egads Tony. So disappointed in this choice😔. Jordan Peterson makes horrific, upsetting statements on a regular basis. He no longer has a good reputation, especially not up here.
