Who Wants A 2-hr Jordy P Analysis Video?

[Leo Gura]

Anyone? Cause it's in the hopper.

[Roy]

What would be even better is if you talked to him. Specifically on the topic of God since he cares about it. An analysis/critique is such low hanging fruit. We all already know what it'll be about.

To be honest the guy gets quite unfair treatment from this community. He's got his heart in the right place and he helps millions of people with his work, like what more do you want from him?

@Roy this is actually a very good idea. Mainly because Jordan is currently looking to come back into the public light after some time off. He is more open minded now after going through a period of suffering which startled him.

As if he is even reachable given his audience size.

Idk how stringent getting a hold of him is, but doesn't he do countless interviews and podcasts every year?

Seems like he is just about everywhere.

That would be interesting. I feel like I run into a Jordan Peterson thread on this forum like a couple times a month every month. There is a lot to unpack.

This is a tangent but I'm  wondering, is there going to be a video on shadow work and/or chakras? 

[Preety_India]

Nice. Do it. 

I wanna know more of what you think. 

 

[Nemra]

Why not?

And I think it will be good if he knew what you think about him before having a conversation with him.

[Leo Gura]

Talking to him would be very risky. It could get confrontational and his fans would hate me. I don't want to deal with that shit.

[Preety_India]

@Leo Gura what are you going to gain by talking to him?

 

[Julian gabriel]

@Leo Gura yeah ur right Leo make sure not to go anywhere risky where you could receive alot of hate just stay in a small corner and don't make yourself known too much just do what they expect of you and don't speak out too much great idea.

I mean you are both mature adults, and you're probably pretty conscious of how to manipulate the conversation from getting too heated.

Also since when do you care about his fans or what people think of you? Fuck em'

Don't talk to him, I think he wouldn't anyway. 

Imagine how he'd react if he found Leo's videos. Might've already happened, who knows.. Probably he'd suffer cognitive dissonance because at first, Leo seems like an ordinary self help guru with interesting videos on philosophy and epistemology - but then he'd find the other videos. 

And then... well, he would simply not know what to make of it. Leo would seem like a crazy man to him. 

I think JBP gets a lot more shit than he deserves tbh. I don't agree with many of the things he says and if you can manage to separate the political stuff from the psychology stuff (though both are sometimes intertwined), you can learn a lot from him. A few years ago, he helped me lift myself out of a pretty dark hole, so maybe I'm slightly biased in his favor. 

2hr sounds good

[max duewel]

Yes, me !

 

[DnoReally]

@Leo Gura Depends, what are you gonna talk about. His Maps of Meaning/ Personality and its transformations lectures or just the random stuff he says in interviews or on conservative talkshows?

Wouldn't the same thing happen even if you simply made a video on him? Granted, it wouldn't be to the same extent, but I feel like it still might end up attracting an unnecessary amount of right wing trolls to this forum.

That depends on how he does it. 

If he insults them then yea but if he approaches it with love even if most of the stuff goes over their heads it probably maybe won't be too bad. 

[Chrisd]

Interested!

[Matt Skinner]

JP video would be welcome

Since these right-wingers can be nuts who can do crazy things. Out of every 10,000 fans there's going to be one unhinged psychopath who wants to stab you with a knife.

It is foolish to kick a hornet's nest no matter how awake you are.

If I talk to him I would have to confront him on fundamental issues like Truth, Love, Consciousness, God, relativity, etc. This would threaten him very much and I have no idea how he would handle it and how I would handle the reactions.

The conversation could easily devolve into a chain of endless defense mechanisms.

And if I make him look bad, his fans will not be happy.

And in the end, what's in it for me? Pissing people off does little for me. And I don't want to get embroiled in political battles. Talking to him makes me a political target. I don't want Actualized.org to become a political circus or part of the culture wars.
