The Evolution
of Dominance Hierarchies
[4:31 mins.] [chimpanzee domiance hierarchy; prototypical
morality found in animals; the cost of winning in a dominance dispute;
the use of mock conflict]
Human Hierarchies
[6:51 mins.] [people are different
than animals; "we have multiplied our dominance hierarchies";
"if you're creative you can come up with your own dominance hierarchy"
("you spin up a game that is your game"; "you can be
the best at playing that game"); with the appearance of multiple
domanince hierarchies, there is an "ability to be successsful across
a set of dominance hierarchies"; "a human being is a creature
that has a high potential for succeeding across a very wide range of
human dominance hierarchies"; the hero is a representation of the
capacity to succeed across dominance hierarchies; "we're this weird
general purpose animal"; "we can go anywhere and thrive"--and
this relates to the hero mythology]
Make Something
of Yourself!
[8:17 mins.] [arguing for the place
of hierarchies of competence] ["Maybe you wouldn't be a great lawyer."
Comment at 5:32 mins.] ["we need hierarchies of competence";
we need to know who the best are so we can reward them, and they will
continue to be good; the idea that hierarchies of competence don't exist
is "pathologically cynical; hierarchies can be corrupt; "our
hierarchies of competence are reasonably function" and "they
are valuable"; "go be a plumber, but be a good one";
"if you're going to be a plumber be a good one, otherwise you'd
do nothing but case problems"; there are multiple hiearchies of
competence; "work and get to the top"]
How to Rise to
the Top of the Dominance Hierarchy
[14:02 mins.] [commenting on Piaget
(and his ethology of human beings) and his argument that morality arises
out of play; "every social animal is embedded in a dominance hierarchy";
there are thousands of these hierarches; if take multiple hierarches
and abstract "what is central to all of them," you find a
"pyramid of value"; and what's do we find at the top of the
pyramid of value (which is "deeply rooted in biology and cutlure"
which means "you don't just brush this off"; "you have
a counter at the bottom of your brain that keeps track of where you
are in terms of your status . . . and it regulates the sensitivity of
your emotions so if you are at the bottom of the hierarch, barely clinging
on to the world, everything overwhelms you. You are damn near dead.
. . . You become sensitive to negative emotion."; commentary on
Jung and the gods; is there a way of being that suggest you are going
to move up in the dominance hierarchies?" (Peterson notes that
these hierarchies are "not arbitrary and random") (Peterson
poses this instructive question but then veers off to talk about Jung,
archetypes and imagination (telling us that "your imagination is
looking for things to fill itself with" and this is "how"
we "deal with the unknown"); Peterson reads Jung to say that
we look "down into the belly of the beast to see what lurks in
the imagination?" and what we find there are the archetypes and
"patterns of adaptive behavior"); Peterson returns to dominance
hierarchy theor 101: "dominance hierarchies are the standard ways
animals in a territory organize themselves"; "human beings
are watching these dominance hierarchies since we became self-aware
thinking 'what the hell are we up to? what the hell are we up to?'";
Peterson finally returns to the question that he asked: "is there
a way of being that suggest you are going to move up dominance hierarchies?"
The answer is found in imagination ("your imagination is looking
for things to fill itself with"); imagination is found, following
Jung, "down in the belly of the beast" where archetypal imagination
lies' so what lies at the top of the pyramid? --speech, --vision ("You
have a vision of your own ideal." It must be articulated. --"willingness
to confront the terrible unknown"
("heroic willingness to confron the unknown"); according to
Peterson there is no more noble vision than this--it will make you "admirable
and valuable."]
Set Your Goals
Up Hierarchically
[11:44 mins.] [you are made up
of a set of subpersonalities ("quasi-autonomous subsystems";
"personality units"); "its one emotional frame after
another vying for dominance; reference to "pyramids of competence"
and what we want at the top of them: "the thing that pays attention
and learns"; all this "maps onto the neurostructure of your
being"; "you want to put something in control" and what
you want to be in control is "the thing that pays attention and
learns"' a GPS unit is close to the idea of intelligence--they
tell you where you are at and where you are going, and if you get off
track they recalculate to get you back on course; what is the story
at the top of the hieararchy?"]
The Male Dominance
Hierarchy
[11:29 mins.] ["the dominance
hierarchy is permanent" and "all our wiring is conditional
on that"; Peterson, early in the commentary notes that "you
can bargain with reality" ("the reality you encounter . .
. is an abstract social system"): "you can bargain with the
future"; we share an evolutionary path with plants and animals;
"the central spirit of the individual," something that we
have evolved, means that we are indidviduals who can move up the dominance
hierarchy; "we are always trying to figure out who we are. As we
watch that we tell stories about what people who can climb the hierarchy
is like and that is the hero" (the hero is the one who kills the
snake, who slays the dragon); we start to tell stories bout the hero,
and we find "our stories are pushing us in this direction"]

19:48 mins. (on being ignorant, which is where we start out, and this
state being the foundation for the need for speech; "speech is
a canonical value"; begin again at 23:40 mins.to 27:36 mins.; 32:40
mins. to 35:53 mins. ("part of wisdom is knowing what to be afraid
of"; "you have to pilot yourself through life"; "your
mind is wired up so you can determine threats"; this segment is
an exquisite summary of how determining to engage in speech is related
to who you are as a person); 36:48 mins. to 41:23 mins. ("we speak

Jordan Peterson
@ Lafayette, A Conversation and Q&A
[2:47:35 mins.] [April, 2018] [[Peterson introduces
himself to the audience, at 4:22 mins.--12:16 mins; talks about the
15 years he spent writing Maps of Meaning, his obsession with
the cold war and his curiosity about what was going on with the modern
day slaughters of the 20th century; learning the value of narrative;
reading Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Jung, the great clinicians (in
psychology and psychiatry), neuroscience; the psychological importance
of individualism; teaching what he had learned from his reading; involvement
in political controversy in Canada (focusing on the problem of "compelled
speech")] [12:18 mins.--23:26 mins., responding to student's criticism
of Peterson's appearance on campus as a speaker which Peterson finds
to be the "chattering buzz of ideologically possessed demons";
are you hearing a person or someone who is ideologically possessed?;
rejecting the idea of "ordinary people" (and how interesting
a person is when they talk about what they want to talk about); people
don't realized that they are possessed by an ideology; there is a space
between the radical right and the radical left; an ideological stance
is convenient; "I'm not anti-left, I know that the left addresses
a serious, deep problem--radical inequality"; things can go to
far on the left, and on the right; it's hard for those on the left to
draw the line as to things going too far because the left has difficulty
drawing lines; the left goes too far left in their demands for equality
of outcomes] [24:50 mins., Peterson comments on how he is viewed in
such extreme terms; it may be in a part a matter of temperament; an
outline of strength in negotiation; thinking through the consequences
of speaking out on the "compelled speech" issue; reading Viktor
Frankel; learning the cost of staying silent; steps that take us down
a path we don't want to go] [33:25 mins.; Marxism and and the right;
Nazis and Communists; "what is happening on the left is murky"
and it doesn't seem so repugnant as what happened with the Nazis; lack
of historical knowledge; "there is a deafening silence" by
the left about 20th century atrocities] [46:32 mins., commenting on
modern-day politics, and the relative dangers of the radical left and
the radical right; the situation in Canada is different than that in
the U.S.; reference to identity politics (and his disdain for it); the
danger to the academy is posed by the left, not the right] [52:56 mins.,
ethnic groups and IQ (and the problem with desperate outcomes of different
ethnic groups); Peterson begins his comments talking about early childhood
anti-social behavior and the link to later criminality; if the job is
complex, then the best prediction is general cognitive ability; prediction
of success (performance prediction) can be related to trait-consciousness;
IQ test is psychometrically as good as it gets ("IQ is reliable
and valid" as any psychological measure that we have); the Army's
work on IQ; 1:06:12 mins., the complexity of talking about IQ and racial
differences ("first, there is the thorny problem of defining race");
"we confuse intelligence with human value" (there seems to
be no relation between virtue and intelligence)] [1:13:56 mins., presented
with the association of "European pride" with white supremacy,
and ethnic identity; the West has got some things right, including the
sovereignty of the individual (and we should recognize this as a "miracle,"
it's not a matter of pride)] [1:19:48 mins., Peterson is presented a
comment about Islam and the Muslim world; "one of the problems
is that I'm an ignorant man" and it would require years of study
to understand the difference between Islam and the West; "there
is a problem, there is no distinction between church and state in Islam,
and there is in the West"; a bedrock of our culture is the separation
of church and state; the hope we found in Turkey that was founded on
secularization, and the problems that country now faces; the hope that
people of goodwill can built a bridge between Islam and the West] [1:25:00
mins., Difference in compassion on the part of men and women; Peterson
responds by commenting on political correctness and his attempts to
study it by way of a social science research study; study found two
clumps that reflect political correctness (predicted by trait-agreeableness
and being female); the research is not extensive] [1:51:40 mins.--1:54:32
mins., Peterson comments on how complex we are as human beings, and
how we act on axiomatic beliefs which are, at bottom, religious in nature]
[1:57:23 mins.--2:00:20 mins., on stories] [2:01:14 mins.--2:02:34 mins.,
commenting on institutional racism] [2:03:10 mins.-- 2:07:30 mins, commenting
