  • 2 months ago
In this video, Dr. Oz asks Jordan Peterson if there is a way to make people safe or strong? Jordan Peterson expresses that strong is safer than safe. He connects it to parents who want to protect their children so they never let them go outside. Who is the danger here? Jordan Peterson says that danger is a part of human reality and we should be the master of snakes.

Also, Dr. Oz wonders what happens when you have a society that is dominated by a victim mentality? Jordan Peterson says that we are all thrown into existence without the choice of our ethnicity, gender, religion, or even socioeconomic status. He questions whether the victim mentality is the way we should conceptualize ourselves. We were all called to do something incredibly difficult.

Later, Dr. Oz explores the idea of a drama triangle. It revolves around someone at the very top which is the patriarch, someone at the bottom which is the victim, and a third person who doesn’t like that there is this system in place. They dislike the idea that there is someone on top and someone at the bottom so they want to destroy the system that created it. Dr. Oz then asks Jordan Peterson if justice is a political problem. Jordan Peterson agrees and says it is also a religious issue. Dr. Oz thinks that if we can’t function without judgment, there has to be justice. But he feels that we are struggling with the concept of justice now. Jordan Peterson says that we’ve always struggled with it. Because we don’t know the answer to the next problem.
