So glad I joined your Patreon.
the worst thing about the AI part is u can tell they're not even worried about the tangible ways AI is ruining things rn (environment, jobs, etc) they're just really afraid of Terminator

I really appreciate your point about people who are outside of a religious belief wielding it as a control mechanism against people they want to subjugate
Hitchhiker's Guide is a work of absurdist philosophy on par with Camus and I demand a duel.
I think the level of ease with which a question as dumb as "thermonuclear war or misgendering caitlyn jener" can be non-consensually placed on so many peoples' screen at once should serve to prove thermonuclear warfare as the better choice.
Asked chat: “Global thermonuclear warfare is far worse than misgendering anyone, including Caitlyn Jenner. While misgendering can cause personal harm and contribute to broader social issues, global thermonuclear warfare would result in catastrophic loss of life, environmental destruction, and long-term global consequences. The two issues are vastly different in scale and impact.”
It interesting watching this because it's clear that Jordan Peterson is well read and has thought a lot about certain things and has actual thoughts that are his own (and of course he's insane and stupid about everything else). But then there's Elon Musk who hasn't thought critically about anything in his life and just thinks he's smart and that his first thought must be the correct one. Then he has absolutely no ability to describe why he holds the position.
Thank you - as ever, Biggie, for exposing yourself to extreme psychic harm so that I can just read the cliffsnotes.
The ominous silence and intense stares after Musk's vow to "destroy the woke mind virus" is genuinely upsetting. We all know what that implies, right? Just more violence, physical and psychological, against minorities and oppressed groups. The intensity and complicity with which an influential conservative pundit and a fucking billionaire form this brotherhood of hatred is disgusting. It's a peephole in the "room where it happens", where the decisions that destroy progress in favor of pure personal gain are made. I'm deeply distraught.
I love this vid and the carnivore diet is obviously the cure to tuberculosis, but I need to know if you've seen the most recent Beast drama. I MUST KNOW YOUR OPINIONS ON THE BEAST INTERVIEW ON THE CHANNEL DOG9ACK404 I PRESSED CAP BY ACCIDENT
lmao-ing after elon says “i vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that” and theres just a distant anonymous scream in the background?? what the fuck?? lol and JP says “Join the club” almost hostilely. lol their complete total non chemistry and general awkwardness is so funny
Whenever anyone talks about birth rates and/or having a lot of children to counter it, I just assume they understand that talking about the great replacement theory is widely understood to be nazi shit so they pivoted into language that was more politically correct so they can hide their nazi shit. Nazis really love political correctness, when they can use it as a weapon.
Extremely good video, loved the commentary as usual; would have appreciated censoring the deadname, especially if this one ever gets reposted to your wider YouTube audience.
Watching this is like watching two naked emperors bragging about their sweet threads.
Weirdly common to see people say "Peterson USED to be reasonable and make good points, but now he's gone off the deep end" cos this has been his schtick since I ever remember him having an audience (similarly with Musk/Joe Bogan/Theo Von/probably others)
They want a society that imposes biblical "values" on its citizens - the patriarchy, because it benefits them and gets women out of the way - but they don't want to actually try and adhere to any biblical teachings or tenants. They truly believe women are vessels, without agency, purpose, or value detached from child rearing and male authority. It's almost worse than people who are genuinely devoutly religious while espousing bigotry, because at least they can fall back on having faith in a God who they believe commands it. Musk and Peterson are just admitting to basing their misogyny on nothing but self-interest and immaturity rather than an actual belief system. Musk is obviously an overprivileged grifter, but I believe Peterson has genuinely diefied his own delusion and mental unrest and sees his ruminations as divine communication rather than cause for therapy
You've finally lured me in with your YouTube bait. Good job, Some-sized Joel
Wait Peterson is or was an athiest? The christian aspect of his grift always seemed very genuine to me.
Really? I always thought of Peterson as a Traditionalist in the Steve Bannon mould - interested in religion only because he admires its hierarchal structures, as well as the the fact that it provides an alternative to secular liberalism. I never imaged he had any actual religious faith, and he has never professed faith in any straightforward way. He believes in God about as much as Trump does.
I haven't watched the full interview, but based on the clips it feels to me like Musk has no interest in what Peterson has to say. Peterson keeps trying to tie the discussion back to previous points and give his own anedotes and Musk just steamrolls him. Very funny to watch.
“Entropy is the ultimate boss battle” Jesus Christ. Musk is actually Kendall Roy. He speaks in nonsense word salad references to nothing then waits for everyone to clap
The cringe with that one was almost unbearable. I can't imagine it's even an original thought, and to break it out for Peterson, who clearly isn't even a gamer, made it even worse.
Okay don't wanna be THAT guy nor give either of them credit, but the joke at the beginning was a pun on Memphis TN sharing its name with the ancient Egyptian city of the same name. You have Peterson as a half-assed intellectual trying to ape personability vs. Musk as a half-assed man of the people trying to ape intelligence, and they rightly form a sum just shy of their parts: Musk makes a bad joke, Peterson misses a beat but stiffly acknowledges it as a bad joke (which tbh is humor I can appreciate) and then Musk is a couple more beats behind and tries too hard to laugh at it off.
How is that a pun? He said Memphis, Egypt?
Crazy that Peterson uses Mary as the image for women- they need to have children, be pure and selfless. But mentions that a crucified Jesus is the image for men- the image of selfless sacrifice, an expectation men are never held to. Both Elon and Peterson are grifters obsessed with financial gain, the only thing they sacrifice is their morals yet hold others to the image of a religion THEY DONT EVEN BELIEVE IN
Mary having baby = women need to have babies Jesus sacrificing his life = men don't have to do anything lol shut up I think the logical conclusion of this line of thought is that if women are incomplete without producing life, men are incomplete without using their lives to inspire or save others. But Peterson stops short and just says "in conclusion, women are not people unless baby, and men are already people so we're fine"
Jesus, Petersons coat looks absolutely disgusting.
His dress sense is deranged.
Stricken by the silence they shared at the end, wow. "Perverse intimacy" certainly was the best way to explain it
This video is feels like being a tiny monkey in a tree saying… “hey check it out?! there’s this wilderbeast with a broken kneck going down to the lake for a drink it looks really funny check it out!”… as the other little monkeys peer over his shoulder they see a massive crocodile flit its eyelids and say, “woke mind virus etc”… unfortunately this phrase does not work in fact somehow as a result of opening it’s mouth now the already mangled moose suddenly has somehow got it’s ankle stuck between the crocodile’s teeth and then we watch, hustle, and jive for a better view and funnier commentary of the not hungry crocodile trying ever more fruitlessly to thrash the wilderbeast out of its teeth… (I’m not AI but I usually feel too good at recall, or just cliche) thanks for the vid this was great
jps suit goes hard as usual😔
"All beeeef, all beeeeeef...." Been stuck in my head all day haha
oh god I saw the thumbnail and immediately it sent shivers down my be-cookied spine, god save us all
jordan peterson always sounds seconds away from bursting into tears and elon musk is barely capable of stringing together a sentence. awesome combination
How can one room contain such brain-power?
@7:05 "You see, I don't have to believe in God because I'm a galaxy brained billionaire. I'm not one of those savage, idiot, dirt eating plebs, that need to be led around like cattle."
This contrast of Musk and Peterson interview really highlights the overwhelming vapidity of Musk in every aspect of his life and ideology. All of his answers are so dull. Say what you will about JP, and there is a lot to say, but he is clearly passionate and engaged with his ramblings and putting that right next to Musk is quite illuminating.
That shared commitment to banality They’ve both got an amazing instinct to ignore reality/meaning/humanity whenever it helps them maintain their ideas Oh, and dolphins and 42 and stuff
I was hoping someone would cover this because I really didn't want to have to watch the whole thing, but I wanted to know what ignorant and terrible things they said.
Jordan Peterson is so obsessed with developing this all-encompassing spirit science that emerges from human mythologies, but he only ever acknowledges Christian imagery. It's the only thing he respects enough to talk about.
That's classicism for 99% of is-it-basic-or-is-it-racist white dudes is it not?
I wish more people used this format on patreon, I love being able to listen to the audio when I’m driving or whatever. Big fan 👍👍
I can look into it! But I’m not sure what audio only means, like does just playing the audio from the video not count?
