@JESUS is our Savior that’s because this is not an problem with Jordan’s understanding, it’s a problem with his morality. It’s not an education problem, it’s a virtue problem. JP doesn’t like this because it points out a major inconsistency in his own thinking. Two of his major talking points is that Western society value systems are based upon Christian theology, and that Western society is rightly based upon a hierarchy of dominance. To be clear, this is not just descriptive it’s normative. He thinks it’s good the West is based on Christianity and that it’s good that the West is hierarchical and dominant. But those two notions are incompatible, so he just perverts the former to fit the latter. This is the same move as Christian Nationals or prosperity gospel preachers.

@@AurorXZ first, he said “it doesn’t make sense TO ME” which a different statement than just it doesn’t make sense. Adding the “to me” makes it subjective. It doesn’t make sense to his sensibilities…to his feelings. Second, what doesn’t make sense to Jordan is 2+2=4. The straightforward logical interpretation of “the meek shall inherit the earth” is just that, that the humble and downtrodden of this world are God’s people and will ultimately prevail. That’s what actually, logically, fits within Christ’s beatitudes and other teachings. Jordan doesn’t like that (by his own admission), he doesn’t want 2+2=4. So he says, no the answer is 9 and it isn’t 2+2, it’s actually 7+2. Where did he get that 7? Not from Christ but from his own thoughts and feelings. Meek must mean a constrained monster is a definition straight out of Jordan’s own psyche. This is as far away from logic as we can get.

No. The best self- own is that Petersen had the arrogance to presume he understood the context of the Biblical verses as they would have been understood to the Jewish audience of roughly 1-100 CE. Ever noticed how Petersen dances with his "What does this word mean?" and his authoritative seeming pronouncements on some magic story in a magic book? I'm surprised he didn't see magic chaos dragons in the text because we all know he loves demeaning and demonizing women. (I mean, it would be a fun book. A trickster goddess who messes with Petersen's twitter account for fun just to see what his next excuse will be.

Hmm, I believe his thinking is similar to C.S. Lewis's argument (in Mere Christianity?) that God values actions by the degree of effort. A small genuinely _good_ act by an ordinarily "bad" person is more valued than a small _good_ act by someone accustomed to the behavior already (and may be pained to NOT do it!); likewise, a small _bad_ act by someone accustomed to "good" may be more harshly judged than a "bad" person who barely notices it. In this thinking, someone who is "meek" because they have _no option_ to be other than meek is difficult to praise. However, someone who _chooses_ meekness is making a moral decision, reflecting moral character, and is thus open to moral judgment. With this, the paraphrase would be: "Being nice to people (when you can _only be_ nice) doesn't seem virtuous." Either way, I think it still misses the point of the Beatitudes!

I'll share why, not that you really asked but it seems like an opportunity to share perspective because I did listen to him and he actually helped me fix my life up when he was coming to fame in early 2018. He is one the the pivital positive figures in my life, I was an utter mess before i found his youtube videos, and then watching them gave me a sense of understanding the world and helped me be confident and set goals for myself. But now I have a perspective on what he says much like your own. It's satisfying watching Dan obliterate crap Jordan says becasuse it feels like ive graduated the time when Jordan was my mentor. For me, jordan spoke very deeply (and even though his conclusions are nuts lately, he certainly is deep) about the worldview that I actually had. He explained concepts of bravery and being emotionally prepared to disagree with or upset people, in a time where I was growing my self confidence and desperately needed to learn that, and in a way that satisfied my analytical brain. When he was still a uni lecturer, his lectures seemed like very sincere reflections of the self and his psychlogy work, and not like he was trying to manipulate your policital worldview. His lectures rarely appear in content critisising him and that might be because they're actually good. I watched 40 hours of them in 2 weeks and it was the beginning of my feeling like myself as an adult. If we want to say something simple, saying he's 'the dumb persons idea of a smart person' is slightly too simple. I would say he talks deeply within the domain of ideas that western people are already prepared to accept, even coming across as centerist because his ideas are so normalised. He's the only public figure that's really good at sounding passionate about everyday ideals we already kinda hold subconsciously (protestant work ethic etc.) as people existing in capitalism, and defending them in debate. His verboseness and confidence really makes these ideas that alot of us already believe sound really fleshed out.

What does he even mean when he says meekness isn't a moral virtue? There is no objective list of moral virtues, what people consider to be moral virtues just depends mostly on the moral frameworks of their cultures and subcultures. Countless people from various cultures across the globe, both now and in the past, would disagree with Peterson and agree with the author of Matthew that meekness is a moral virtue. Does he think they all also "actually" mean that you should be a monster and then learn to control it? Or is he simply making the author of Matthew a special case on the basis that he cannot imagine the possibility that a Biblical passage written around 1,900 years ago would reflect a worldview or moral framework which does not align with his own? I shouldn't be surprised. He tells us right at the start why he is doing these gymnastics with the definition of meek. He is just stumped by the idea that someone would endorse meekness as a value. Can't imagine it. It doesn't make sense to him. Perhaps he just doesn't have the intellectual capacity to imagine or make sense of that possibility.

In my experience. People tend to twist and distort their religious views to conform with the personal core set of values they already held; rather than ever actually changing anything uncomfortable about themselves. In other words a good person at heart that calls themselves Christian will twist Christianity into something far greater than it actually is. While an evil person that calls themselves Christian will use the bible and God as justification for many of their appalling acts and behaviour. In this way their religion does not really add much that was not already there within them.

And the badly hidden hateful comments are also the most upvoted. Most here obviously don't check their own beam. Amazing contradiction. However, the more well thought comments are to be found further down the commentary field, for those who actually cares for a decent discussion.

Dan, I think you’d appreciate the message he is trying to convey here. I think what he was saying is that those who have the strength, power or privilege to oppress and still show meekness and kindness to others by refusing to use those monstrous tools to hurt others will be blessed. It does make sense that a person who has no choice but to be meek isn’t showing as much love as one who has the option to oppress. Usually he will preface these ideas with a statement to remind people these are just his ideas mingled with scripture and his expertise in the soft science of Psychology. Remember, he’s a psychologist not a biblical scholar. Keep up the awesome vids!!

If we interpret what Peterson is saying here very charitably then this message might seem somehow kind or even useful but I think we should interrogate the possible reasons why people do the things they do. This is an overt case of a person renegotiating or, we could say, misinterpeting a text--in this case, scripture. The bible list the persecuted as a blessed group. Why might Peterson want you, and himself, to believe that actually the real blessed people are those with the power to cause harm but who don´t? How different is the reading of this scripture if those who shall inheret the Earth or to be blessed aren´t the poor, hungry, persecuted, the meek etc, but instead the cop who doesn´t do police brutality and the president who doesn´t become a dictator? I understand your instinct to say thst being meek isn´t as virtuos as self-control but in this reading those who are blessed for not using their abilites to cause harm have not really done anything either, at least not anything every human on the planet does to some degree all the time. Is it possible, to pull up an analogy: Peterson wants you to think the man with the nuclear launch codes who doesn´t drop the atom bomb is the one who is blessed, or should be, and not those who would die to the atom bomb because he wants to be allowed by his theology to have the nuclear launch codes, to have power? I am not a Christian for many reasons bit if any part of the bible were true, the part about the meek inhereting the Earth should be. I don´t think it is and I think certain biblical interpretations push liberation off to a hypothetical afterlife but one last question: why do you think Peterson didn´t just say "you should be able to protect yourself and others and shouldn´t use that power to cause harm becuase that would be vituos¨; might it be that Peterson instead believes in the accumilation of power for its own sake and can not square that with the scriptures.

I do agree somewhat with Dan's explanation. I must be devil's advocate I also agree with doctor Peterson. We are to be representatives of Jesus Christ and the Lord was far from being a coward I don't think taking a whip and running the money changers out of the temple is a cowardly . Did the Lord not have the ability to call down a legion angels? Yet chose not to. That's why I think Jordan Peterson is Correct To be a follower of Christ you have to know that you are capable of doing the unthinkable. And to believe that you're not you're only deceiving yourself. We are to be angry and sin not. Which implies that we are still capable of doing evil we just choose not to because we are Gods people.

The people you described as the meek are those who are unidimensional and not sufficiently sophisticated with depth and strength of character nearly enough to dually/fundamentally possess a relative capacity for understanding how to lead through various virtues. Those you have proclaimed to be the “meek” Jesus was referring to, are basically not - as defined by those singular qualities - sufficiently adept to be seen de facto anywhere in the places where present-day “inheriting individuals” reside. I do not see gracious men leading at the frontiers which mark and evolve the natural factors of our civilized society, and that’s because no person who is solely gracious and nothing more honestly can possess anywhere near enough internal capacity for an array of enacted behaviors which is necessary for said individuals to become those who are SELECTED by all others to do the actual forging which marks the place where all things become inherited. I believe Jordan Peterson is aware and that you may benefit to notice that your opinion about who is leading things actually are not the same people that you likely believe incorrectly to be true leaders for all of us. You describe simpletons as the “meek” leaders referred to by Jesus; although they are nothing the opposite of whom Jesus truly was referring to (IMO), they certainly are not the ones you would look to in all that simplicity if you were truly understanding how to find ones who possessed more than simply one quality that is positive. One cannot be both meek and also simple. Those you’ve explicitly described were described each by only one single thing really. Why would “God” give the entirety of earth and humanity to people who are only positive and one thing in such limited capacity - essentially. God gives the earth to those who are in possession of those qualities but also in addition all of the more difficult to attain qualities as well. Yeah I think simple individuals are not capable of handling the entirety of the earth on their own, and therefore more well-rounded and astute players are in fact the ones we shall constantly and forevermore witness as clearly being selected by society today as our foremost guides in the world. God gives humanity to people who are both strong and good, because to be both things whilst also thereafter being pushed by society upwards to place of “inheritance”, truly only get there whence they become additionally cognizant of perceiving themselves responsible for aiding the world itself perhaps even. I see nothing simple about those who inhabit those locations clearly today. These are not simple human beings, the ones who do truly inherit the grand of responsibility and also glory. No simple man can truly lead everyone, and therefore no truly meek being can be anything less than massively complex and capable in an array of capacities. You’re saying simple people have gotten us to where we are, and I think that is outright hilarious because of how ridiculously it ignores the fact that we do not live in heaven itself, which is the place that those you’ve mentioned will find their greatest personal inheritances. God gives strong and good and complex men the right to inherit this world of ours because it is only those men who are capable of being awake and strong in a manner of cognizance whereby the devil himself also exists in this place. God gives this world to those who understand how to defeat evil in a way that certainly does not utilize being “gracious” as the plan which God would approve of. Being gracious, bro, is not enough to truly inherit the world here; these simple people you describe, will only find their true sole inheritance in the afterlife - so to speak. Good and evil exists here; you are ignorant to presume pure, unidimensional “nice” qualities is the pathway that works all entirely in everything and in all ways here in this place. Earth is Eden, wherein the snake will always exist. We are protected by our leaders who are not anything near what you misunderstand them as truly being. God gives this place to people that are fully awake and not simply “entirely good & nothing additionally” Evil exists here on earth man, and that means it’s impossible for these people you’ve described as those Jesus was referring to. Meek means what Jordan proclaimed it to mean, here on earth. Meek perhaps is definably a different sort of thing in heaven where there is no evil and therefore leaders, so to speak, can be simply those who are “the truly nice peoples”. This place is not simple. Our leaders who inherit our world most fundamentally are none other than those who are very very capable complex intelligent and good by conscious decision “peoples”. It’s really funny that you think the ones you just mentioned as the “meek” are capable of knowing what to do with an inheritance of all things in this world. No sir. Those who inherit this place are not those people as you’ve described so simply as being the “meek”. I think Jordan’s definition for what meek is here on earth, is the correct definition. The people you’re calling the meek of the earth are simply the meek who inherit the next place, and they in no way can fundamentally lead anywhere else perhaps other than “heaven” once they arrive in that far different place.

@@lafamigliabazzani499 Did you bother to actually listen to what Dan said? As far as Christ Himself being meek or powerless, that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand. Christ makes it quite clear that one of our priorities should be concern for the poor, the sick, and the marginalized (who are certainly among "the meek", Matthew 25:32-46), and NOT for the powerful or rich (who He spoke against on several occasions). Christ NEVER even remotely suggested to His disciples that they should seek to be "powerful" or have dominion over others, but rather that they should seek peace and not seek to be greater than each other. Meek is clearly another word for those who do not seek power over their neighbors, and who seek peace, and to love their neighbor as themselves, rejecting hate and a lust for power. The very idea of trying to twist "meek" into what is pretty much the opposite of meek is vile and obscene.

@@granvillesimmons6033 I think you think I’m arguing for something I have no intention of saying (and again also, I think, a strawman of what Peterson argued in context if we could see it) but maybe as a first thing I’d like to clarify something because I suspect, but don’t want to strawman you: If being poor is inherently virtuous and righteous is being comparatively rich inherently evil and unrighteous? I ask this in part because you quote Mark 10:25 but don’t keep going through v27, and this is a common enough reading to where I’ve seen it a lot. In that case maybe Zacchaeus and Lydia didn’t inherit the kingdom after all - we have no record of them liquidating their estates, while Lydia at least clearly used her estate and business to serve the church But on that last bit I tend to think this is an important passage: “But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles ilord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”” You seem to be assuming that possession of [wealth/power/influence/competence] necessarily means the misuse/abuse of it. And I think even on this clipped bit Peterson talks about not using said monstrous power and in that restraint to turn the other cheek there is a virtuous meekness that is to be commended. And even some of the most social Justice minded Christians I know would say that it’s not the privilege/power per se that is evil, but the evil lies in not using it for others

Not so sure about that bucko. Though your translation sounds more correct than JBP, and he does have a habit of reading what he wants into things, I'm not certain that your conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon isn't saying you should literally be weak and poor and so on, it give spiritual principles upon which to make moral decisions by rooting them in our proper orientation towards and relationship with God. We need a fully interior faith and morality, not an extrinsic one like the Jews had fallen in to in Jesus' time; this is not to deny the validity of external and collective worship, but simply to say you shouldn't NEED anything external to be in, feel, think, and know that you are in the presence of God. In some sense, your soul and interior life should be an intimation of Heaven on earth. The problem is in trying to concretize the concepts Christ talks about. Like what do you really mean by "rich?" There's a massive difference between the man who bust his hump and builds a massive business that creates tons of value for the customers, who then builds Churches, and gives glory to God for his successes and takes personal responsibility for all his failures, and so on, denying the self and glorifying God, and the rich man who only sees his wealth as a means of obtaining more wealth, and the rich man who only gets wealth from taking from others, or the man who only uses his great wealth for his own personal pleasure and glorification. Elon Musk isn't exactly a Christian, nor is he perfectly moral in any secular sense, but he's a good example of someone who is both rich and poor. He is only really rich on paper and in ability. He used to have a bunch of worldly positions, but he sold them all, some at a loss for a good cause. He tend to stick to his word, even when he makes stupid promises, especially when it loses money (think when he launched his car into space because he tweeted it as a joke, or when he decided to, on a whim, purchase twitter, then he actually did it). All his personal wealth is in Tesla and SpaceX stock, he lives on a jet (company owned) and in a cabana in Boca Chica because he didn't want all the worldly positions he had. Now he's still pursuing a perishable garland, ie colonizing Mars/getting humans to be a space-faring species, because ultimately the Creator will return and the worldly game will be over, or more accurately, glorified, but he really has cast off the normal trappings of the rich. He will talk to average Twitter users and dismiss famous, wealthy, and powerful people. He, himself, isn't rich. He isn't in love with money. He has a mission, and he is absolutely committed to it, money is simply a means by which he achieves it. This is where I think you and JBP are talking past each other. JBP is talking about how having no mission is stupid. Having no goals or aims is just braindead. Furthermore, adopting the world's "goals" for you (go to college, get a "good job," get "good benefits," retire, and die) is also stupid. JBP also argues for people aiming high, to look for big goals and big missions, with big impact, because why not? Like why would you aim for anything less than the bullseye? He is primarily assaulting mediocrity culture, which I do think is a Christian principle, just not one found in the Sermon on the Mount. I think JBP should have used Revelation 3:15-19 "15 I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. 16 But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth. 17 For you declare, ‘I am wealthy, and I have been enriched further, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. 18 I urge you to buy from me gold, tested by fire, so that you may be enriched and may be clothed in white vestments, and so that the shame of your nakedness may disappear. And anoint your eyes with an eye salve, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I rebuke and chastise. Therefore, be zealous and do penance." "wealth" in a broad sense is pretty easy to obtain. If you are just not sinful and keep yourself composed and you don't spend too much and live in a first world country you can achieve relative wealthy quite quickly, but you'll be totally dead inside. You'll be numb in your little castle. This is how most first-world people are. But if you are willing to cast aside your certainty and pursue a great mission you'll find meaning in your life. You'll find absolute un perishable meaning if your mission is subservient to God, and you're willing to lose every single penny of worldly benefit you get for the sake of the underlying principle, which is to know, love, and serve God. But the whole of the old testament affirms that God does grand worldly benefits, both manifest and hidden. We aren't gnostics, we aren't Sadducees, or platonists. Christians affirm the body, Christians affirm that God created the world and said it was *good*, and that when it is *rightly ordered* it retains this identity. It is only through sin that the world becomes disordered. Therefore it is the job of the Christian to open themselves to Christ's saving grace and mercy, allowing him to set their soul in right order, denying the influence of the world and continually committing themselves in faith to consent to be remade by Christ; to have Him resurrect them from the death of sin to life in His image and likeness; a return to *their true, rightly ordered nature*. And as their (internal) cup overfloweth, they allow Christ to pour out from them into others, slowly bringing the world back to the order it had in Eden before the fall. Like if we're just called to suck at worldly life, I don't see how the Centurion could have been saved. Matt. 8:9 "9 For I, too, am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.'" How is this not true wealth in a worldly sense? The point of money is that it buys things, no? And yet we know the Centurion was saved. The principle from the Sermon on the Mount therefore must not have to do with having no ambition at all, but having an ambition to submit to God's Divine Will, and to be willing to cast aside all worldly cares and pursue build our own Interior Castles, then from that Castle we build the City of God, but the City of God is still, in fact, a city, which has an immense material substrate, which we'd naturally call wealth. TL;DR things are good, money is fine, but it's not an end unto itself. Pursue God and all the other things will come.

The old English often used the term “meeking a horse”. Meeking a horse did not mean to to strip the power from a horse but rather to harness the horse’s power from a state of wild independence to one of loyalty so that the horse could be used as the master of the horse intended.
