Jordan Peterson – Truth in the Time of Chaos
The documentary “Jordan Peterson: Truth in the Time of Chaos” explores the life and ideas of Canadian psychologist and controversial figure Jordan Peterson.
In 2016, Peterson gained notoriety after making a series of videos criticizing changes to Canadian law regarding gender pronouns.
Many accused him of being transphobic, while others supported him for standing up against authoritarian political agendas.
Peterson argues that the crisis facing Western society is much deeper than the pronoun debate and that the legislation and policies are merely symptoms of a larger problem.
He believes that the integration of the great ideas of the past is necessary for society to progress and avoid repeating past mistakes.
Peterson’s fascination with belief systems began during the Cold War when he was trying to understand how humans could threaten each other with nuclear weapons.
He believes that belief systems can be both helpful and dangerous and that the solution to the conflict between them is to live properly.
He argues that the answers to how to live properly can be found in art, literature, and music and that the archetypal structures of religious belief are fundamental to human existence.
Peterson believes that the recovery of these timeless truths is essential to society’s well-being.
He also believes in the concept of transcendental truth or the idea that one must be fully integrated to accept it.
Overall, the documentary provides insight into the ideas of one of the most controversial and influential thinkers of our time.
