In this lecture, I talk about the Big Five trait agreeableness, which is the dimension of the care system, in Jaak Panksepp's terminology. It can be construed as cooperation vs competition, or compliance vs non-compliance, or tender-mindedness vs tough-mindedness. It is also an important determinant of political belief, being the trait most associated with the body of ideas that has come to be known as politically correct.

Agreeable people tend to view the political world as innocent infant vs reptilian predator. Perhaps this is good for you (although probably not) if you are placed in the innocent infant category, but it is not so good if you are deemed reptilian predator :)

    People tell me I am disagreeable but I disagree with them.
  • @FatalError248
    I've just come here to say that for the last two days I was working on translating this whole video to Czech, so my family and friends could understand what Dr. Peterson is saying in his advanced english. I'd like to thank you, Dr. Peterson, for sharing your fantastic hypothesis with us.

    My friends tell me I'm weird for watching uni lectures during my free time when out of my free time I'm listening to lectures at uni as well. No tests for me, no homework. Stress-free learning. I'm happy.
  • @alexzag4944
    Time to sit back and soak in the knowledge. We truly appreciate your work, Dr. Peterson. Thank you!
  • @mmahgerefteh
    Everything he says is so dense in knowledge. He's droppin bombs left and right.
  • @vorval96
    Did I just get shaped into a better human?
  • @RealLeviWekesa
    I think I'll get a degree in Psychology right here in YouTube....
  • @joetheperformer
    I love how he says “I will tell you my observations and I want you to tell me if you disagree.”
    This is a sign of a true master.

    I think it is absolutely unbelievable how much wisdom can be jam packed into a single lecture.
  • @sw.7519
    Very very true. I went to my boss. Showed what I earn for the company. And asked for a raise. His answer was the others do not earn that much. I told him the others cannot do my job.
    I am very aware how agreeable I had been. This is over now. Because no one will evaluate my work for the less money.
  • 24:43 "It's easy for people to confuse confidence for competence". I had never noticed that concept; I love how powerful these lectures are; power-charged with insights of knowledge like a mine field. Dr Peterson is such a great teacher. I'm so thankful that he had the initiative to record and and upload these lectures.
  • I work my ass off all day producing JBP memes - It's tough work, but an honest job! This is the only reward I require for my toil!
  • @sbrown6434
    Why wasn't this guy my professor? I feel cheated. That's what education is supposed to be IMO.
  • My favorite lecture, by far.

    A 50 minute video so dense with possibly life changing information, presented in a concise and captivating way. A trully remarkable lesson.

    Thank you, professor, for providing me with the opportunity to listen to this from home, free of charge. Wish you the best in everything you do.
  • @DexiPawnz
    Jordan, I just wanna say I love you.

    I wish there'd be a Jordan on youtube for economics, and for art etc. I've learnt so much from your lectures.
  • I am extremely grateful that this is available, openly. When I watch these lectures I feel like various avenues of thinking where I got stuck long ago, suddenly unclog and I feel this rush of sudden understanding. Thank you.
  • @RubyOnyxx
    I'm very high in agreeableness, the drawbacks have been pretty impactful and it's pretty depressing actually. Thanks so much for all your videos.
