Free speech is not just another value. It's the foundation of Western civilization.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Once someone has spent enough time cultivating bad habits and biding their time, they are much diminished. Much of what they could have been has dissipated.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
You may say, 'Well, dragons don't exist.' It's, like, yes they do - the category 'predator' and the category 'dragon' are the same category. It absolutely exists. It's a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Men and women aren't the same. And they won't be the same. That doesn't mean that they can't be treated fairly.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I'm interested in what motivates individuals to participate in atrocious acts to support their ideological identification.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
There's no doubt that inequality destabilizes societies. I think the social science evidence on that front is crystal clear.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
It's a small percentage of people who do the 80-hour-a-week high-powered career thing, and they're almost all men. Why? Well, men are driven by socio-economic status more than women.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
You can say, 'Well, isn't it unfortunate that chaos is represented by the feminine' - well, it might be unfortunate, but it doesn't matter, because that is how it's represented. It's been represented like that forever. And there are reasons for it. You can't change it. It's not possible. This is underneath everything.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
It's in the best interest of the radical left types - best psychological and strategic interest - to refuse to admit to the possibility that reasonable people can object to their ideological staff. Because if reasonable people objected, that would imply that their ideological stance is not reasonable.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
To me, ideology is corrupt; it's a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you're an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you're religious, there's a mystery left there.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I have a hard time figuring out what kind of box to put me in, too, because I don't know exactly what's going on around me or why. But I need to stay outside of boxes because then I can look at what's inside of them without being part of them.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
As pessimistic as I am about the nature of human beings and our capacity for atrocity and malevolence and betrayal and laziness and inertia, and all those things, I think we can transcend all that and set things straight.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
If you learn a martial art, you learn to be dangerous, but simultaneously, you learn to control it.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Life is tragic. You are tiny and flawed and ignorant and weak, and everything else is huge, complex, and overwhelming.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
If you're talking to a man who wouldn't fight with you under any circumstances whatsoever, then you're talking to someone for whom you have absolutely no respect.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I'm always surprised when people respond positively to what I am saying, given its seriousnessness and strange nature.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
I do believe that there are places where the mythological and the literal touch.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Part of the reason there's an injunction to the truth, for example, is that if you're in a circumstance of extreme uncertainty, your best weapon, let's say, or your best tool or your best defense is the truth, because it keeps things simpler.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
One of the things I've told men over and over and over and over is if you're being rejected by all the women that you approach, it's not the women!
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
There were some great clinicians in the 20th century - great men. Freud was a genius; Jung was a genius, Carl Rogers was a genius - there's a half-dozen psychologists of the 1950s and humanists of the 1960s.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
You can't just slander someone, defame them, lie about them. You can't incite people to crime. There's all sorts of reasonable restrictions on free speech that are already codified in the British common-law system.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
A properly balanced story provides an equal representation of the negative and positive attributes of, I could say the world, but it's actually a being. 'Harry Potter''s a good example. So Harry's the hero, right. But he's tainted with evil. There's a dark and a light in every bit of that narrative. It's well balanced.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
You have to listen very carefully and tell the truth if you are going to get a paranoid person to open up to you.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
If you're a social scientist worth your salt, you never do a univariate analysis.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
That's another hallmark of truth, is that it snaps things together. People write to me all the time and say it's as if things were coming together in my mind. It's like the Platonic idea that all learning was remembering. You have a nature, and when you feel that nature articulated, it's it's like the act of snapping the puzzle pieces together.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The answer to the problem of inequality is for the people who are fortunate enough to either have been gifted or deserved more to do everything they can to make the communities around them as strong as they possibly can.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
Assuming if there's such a thing as reality, if you have a false relationship with it, how can you do anything but fail?
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
You should do what other people do, unless you have a very good reason not to.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
It's not proper for the government to intrude too thoroughly into the domain of the family. It's inappropriate.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
People have been fed this diet of pabulum, rights, and impulsive freedom. There's just an absolute starvation for the other side of the story.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
It's very difficult to regulate yourself, and if you learn to do that, well, it starts to spill over.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
The highly functional infrastructure that surrounds us, particularly in the West, is a gift from our ancestors: the comparatively uncorrupt political and economic systems, the technology, the wealth, the lifespan, the freedom, the luxury, and the opportunity.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
We're so immaturely cynical as a culture. We're not wise enough to look at an institution like marriage and to really things about what it means and what it signifies. It signifies a place where people can tie the ropes of their lives together so that they're stronger. It signifies a place where people can tell the truth to one another.
Quote by -Jordan Peterson
You can't have a value structure without a hierarchy. They're the same thing because a value structure means one thing takes precedence over another.
