Mikhail Avdeev - https://linktr.ee/MikhailAvdeev _______________ Shownotes: _______________ [00:00] Jordan Peterson is interviewed by Mikail Avdeev, a member of his foreign translations team. They begin the discussion by talking about the forming of the international translation teams. [02:00] The healing effect of Jordan's lectures. The outcry for new material from Jordan’s catalog of books, lectures, and podcasts has been overwhelming. [04:00] Espousing the profundity of Eric Neumann’s works in his “The Origins and History of Consciousness and The Great Mother.” [05:20] Peterson comments on another personal favorite author of his, Mircea Eliade, and his history of religious ideas - an anthropological and sociological assessment of religion that’s also deeply psychological. [06:40] How Russians respond to Jordan's affinity for Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Mikail details the feelings of the Russian people by their portrayal after the fall of communism. [10:00] How we deal with the guilt of the things our ancestors or society have done: a very difficult question because we are very historical creatures. The best thing for us is to try to understand what happened and avoid making the same mistakes twice. [13:30] Examining the trope that all white people are racist; the existential guilt of history. [20:00] Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett seem to hold that religious belief is a set of propositions about the material world (in a way a direct competitor to scientific theory) and that’s just not fully accurate. There is something outside of strict rationality in the human experience. [24:00] Gibson’s visual perception theory. Value is the key to our perception of the world around us. [34:20] Fragmentation of the value structure necessarily leads to an increased level of constant anxiety in all experience. [36:30] What parts of modern society are contributing to the integrity of consciousness, and what things are degrading that. A hatred for real success and striving for personal gain will tear us apart if left unchecked. [43:30] There is no doubt that economic exploitation occurs and that some wealth is gained in an unethical manner - but that is not the rule. [45:45] On the importance of beauty in personal experiences as well as the collective human experience. [51:00] Differences between Dostoevsky and Nietzsche; closeness to the ideal of beauty [56:30] The complexity of the language of Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life. What is Jordan's process for increasing precision in writing and speech? [1:03:30] The divinity of the true word and the way this has been translated through Jordan’s book Beyond Order. Peterson's philosophy behind good writing and text structure of a truly complete work. [1:13:40] Mikhaila Peterson’s strength in the face of a great deal of suffering in her life. How wonderful it is to see her succeeding in personal endeavors like her podcast. [1:20:15] Fostering children’s individual growth and love of learning.
