Jordan Peterson on the meaning of life for men. MUST WATCH - Summary

Summary

The speaker discusses two main points: the differential impact of a future authoring program on men, particularly those who are not doing well in high school or have not chosen a career-oriented major, and the surprising high percentage of men who watch his YouTube videos.

The speaker mentions that the future authoring program has shown a different impact on men, particularly those who are "excluded," which he defines as non-western ethnic minority men or "majority men" who are not doing well in high school and have not chosen a career-oriented major. The program has had a particularly robust effect on Mohawk College students who fall into this category. The speaker suggests that part of the reason for this is that these men are not very motivated and they are not oriented towards a goal.

The speaker also notes that the majority of his YouTube viewers are men, which he finds surprising given that the majority of psychology students are women. He speculates that this could be due to his political stance or the demographic data of his viewers. The speaker also mentions that he has noticed a high percentage of men at his public appearances and talks, and that these men seem to be hungry for responsibility.

The speaker suggests that men are often under the impression that they can achieve pleasure without taking on responsibility, which he believes is a bad idea. He also mentions the story of Homer from The Simpsons, who suffers dreadfully when he cannot fulfill his responsibilities, as an example of how men can suffer when they do not take on responsibility.

In conclusion, the speaker suggests that men need a sense of responsibility and direction. He believes that men will carry a heavy load if they get to choose it, and that without a load, they can become self-destructive. The speaker concludes by urging men to grow up and take on responsibility.
