Hi John, I was one of your students taking the BPM course you taught. I was struggling a lot at the time and your course about the Meaning Crisis really helped me so it's a shame the department closed down. I think that another way to think about what happened to Jordan was that before this Bill C16 thing happened, he went on multiple debates with feminists with videos titled something like "Jordan Peterson destroys feminist news anchor". Interesting thing is that I actually agree with some of his points, but regardless of if the other party was prepared for the debate or not, I think it was unfair to bring on people who were probably not at the same intellectual level as him. In these videos he is very stern in his attitude, almost condescending when he's not being careful. Not in the way he speaks, but mostly his expressions and tone of voice. And.. I think this brought on a whole hate train for the people who were debating Jordan, and women in general. In a way I see how the university treated him as karma for his intentions during these debates
I had the EXACT SAME experience of fear of the rapture he opens with… OMG that makes me feel seen and FURIOUS at the same time!
Timestamp 1:11 re. Solaris, I really ❤Tarkovsky’s adaptation of said book !
vervaeke describes consiouness with word salad, orient your consiousness to have the best relationship with reality you can using wisdom (morality) = highest depth and meaning, study pirsig, language is a shared abstraction pre ego and walls of religion. you dont exhist with out shared participation
52:39 brilliant method to concretely test for biases!
The aah ha – the reveling, the revelation- the truth of everything.
So many fckn ads man god
Jesus this guy was boring af, I feel like Danny was fake laughing the whole time
This is my introduction to you, Danny, and I'm looking forward to hearing more. I thoroughly agree with Vervaeke's comments of you as an interviewer at the end. Thank you for this wonderful conversation.
Is he just talking about "lifting the vail" or "piercing through the vail" ??? Im sure there's a famous picture in the occult scene, with a dude in the bottom left corner lifting up a vail??
Man one of my fave episodes
Has he consider telepathy, astral travel, nde's, reincarnation stories, etc to prove there is an after life and that through reincarnation we do essentially life forever? Mortality is a lesson in appreciation of what it is to "live" and "die" or it couldn't exist. So I don't believe acceptance of mortality is the lesson we are here to appreciate. I believe it's acceptance of our immortality that we are here to learn and to learn reverence for our role in stewards of all life and living in symbiosis with collective consciousness.
The human body already does what this man says he is trying to do. If you remove all of the wireless pollution, remove all of the heavy metal and synthetic pollution of our bodies and our environment, and if we only consumed healthy food and water from a healthy Earth and a healthy source of heritage seeds using only natural regenerative farming methods, then our bodies would have predictive adaptability to the highest level that we can only mimic with our aig products. So why can't we detox our bodies, clean up our environment, and take care of ourselves and the planet and our sources of food well enough that becoming transhuman and using artificial means to enhance our intelligence never becomes necessary? This is the reality no one will wake up to in the consumer industry. We don't want your technology or the other crap you create unless we can have it in a clean environment for our bodies to work at their most natural optimization.
I don’t care how intelligent you appear to be, if you believe in pronouns your mental disconnect has negated any brilliance you ever had.
Good conversation
Spot on. Meaning. What's the point, reason
This was so fun to listen to thank you both
Seems you only have white people, mostly men on your show. Any plans to have people of color?

First time viewer. Thank you for having my favorite cognitive scientists! 😊 YouTube is an awesome platform. 🎉$
Interesting show, thanks for the information.
why is he talking about being in a million years, do we take who we are into the afterlife, if we have depression fear and anxiety….is our afterlife full of these things too, a lower state?
