didn't find any of the things that he
0:01
was sharing to be particularly Earth
0:03
shattering in his 12 rules a lot of
0:05
these kind of are repackaged biblical
0:07
Proverbs and you should read the Bible
0:09
and I'm sure that he he must have liing
0:12
man I wish addiction wasn't an option
0:13
for me it's hard for me to feel bad
0:17
write another book you know how to
0:18
reorder your life after a chaotic scene
0:21
so Candice Owens posted a hit peace
0:24
against Dr Jordan Peterson of all people
0:28
and as a follower of both figures I was
0:32
disappointed now attacking an ally when
0:35
he is at a low point is bad enough but
0:39
it was the Glee with which she sank her
0:42
dagger into Peterson's back that made it
0:45
so unbearable as one commenter said you
0:49
had to fast forward the video because it
0:52
was so devoid of empathy and you know to
0:55
add insult to injury she literally used
0:59
half true TRS she Twisted the facts she
1:02
fed ignorance at certain points and she
1:06
did all this with such a Cy Spirit you
1:09
know in a mean girl fashion she starts
1:13
the video by praising Dr Jordan Peterson
1:15
before pulling the rug from under his
1:17
feet let's dive in Dr Jordan Peterson
1:22
okay I just want to say at the top I
1:25
obviously have met and worked with him
1:26
he has always been extremely kind to me
1:28
so nothing that I'm going to say should
1:30
be taken personally I am just taking a
1:32
look at something objectively that of
1:34
course is fascinating interesting to
1:37
watch because it's really difficult to
1:38
capture into words the international
1:41
level of celebrity that this Canadian
1:44
professor of psychology reached on
1:46
YouTube a celebrity which began back in
1:48
2017 when he began dropping lectures
1:51
that were aimed at men with lessons
1:52
pertaining to how they could order their
1:54
lives we all remember this he
1:56
subsequently dropped a book in 2018 that
1:59
was entitled 12 rules for life an
2:02
antidote to chaos and just so we're
2:04
clear that book sold over 10 million
2:08
copies worldwide that is nobody sells 10
2:12
million copies worldwide in any book
2:14
it's unbelievable he starts by praising
2:17
Dr Peterson she Praises his book and you
2:21
might think she's uh being gracious but
2:25
what she is actually doing is she's just
2:28
setting him up so that she can now punch
2:31
him squarely okay she's praising his
2:34
book just so she can smack him with it
2:38
in the face there's nothing gracious
2:40
about this but there was also a piece of
2:43
me and again I am sure that women can
2:45
relate to this that if I'm being honest
2:47
I just didn't really quite comprehend it
2:50
again it wasn't for me it was for men
2:52
but I didn't find any of the things that
2:54
he was sharing to be particularly Earth
2:56
shattering in his 12 rules and I was
3:00
shocked by the male response to it so
3:01
I'm going to give you just a few
3:02
examples of the rules that were in the
3:05
book one was set your house in perfect
3:09
order before you criticize the world
3:11
okay another one was pursue what is
3:14
Meaningful not what is expedient third
3:17
was tell the truth or at least don't lie
3:21
another was be precise in your speech
3:24
and the last one was pet a cat when you
3:27
encounter one on the street with U that
3:30
makes it sound silly but essentially he
3:32
was saying like don't miss the small
3:33
things in life and I I don't know if I
3:35
wasn't so amazed by this because a lot
3:37
of these kind of our repackaged Biblical
3:39
Proverbs now a few minutes in and he's
3:41
now dissing Dr Peterson's book and if
3:45
you're like me you wondering what's the
3:48
point what's this for what argument
3:52
could she possibly be making that would
3:54
uh make it necessary for her to bring
3:58
this up and the answer is she's just
4:02
being
4:03
mean okay she's being mean she's being
4:06
spiteful because at this point she's
4:10
she's looking at Dr Peterson as an enemy
4:14
and anything goes as you see she uses
4:17
quite a bit of dishonesty right she's
4:20
twisting facts and everything you'll see
4:22
and of course the rules may sound
4:25
shallow if you just list them as
4:27
isolated bullet points there is nothing
4:30
new about hey make your bed you don't
4:33
need a professorship to figure that one
4:36
out but it's the new life that Dr
4:39
Peterson breathed into these ideas as he
4:44
uh fled the outou but insulting the book
4:49
spitting on the book was not necessary
4:52
she was just being Cy and just being a
4:55
mean girl but I was really I guess taken
5:01
aback by the male response to it in a
5:03
way that was meaningful for me I
5:05
actually learned a lot because I
5:06
realized that a lot of men were feeling
5:10
disordered you know I recognized that
5:12
for men to have the response that they
5:14
did clearly something was missing in
5:16
their lives and I was glad that they had
5:18
this male example to say Hey listen this
5:20
is a a little thing but make your bed
5:22
make your bed in the morning because it
5:23
means something to make your bed you
5:24
know stand up straight kind of
5:26
notoriously walk like a lobster like
5:28
have some self confidence have some
5:30
self-respect then things started to
5:32
shift so let's recap what happened in
5:34
January of 2018 so this was really at
5:37
the peak of his celebrity he appeared on
5:39
Sam Harris's podcast which was entitled
5:42
waking up with Sam Harris and he seemed
5:44
rather incoherent when he was being
5:46
asked for a basic definition of truth
5:49
and people recognize this perhaps they
5:51
didn't overthink it but a couple of
5:53
months later in July of 2018 he sat down
5:56
with Joe Rogan talking about that moment
5:58
talking about why he was incoherent and
6:02
here is what he said he said that it was
6:05
due to the fact that he had consumed
6:07
some apple cider take a listen but I I
6:11
didn't want to not do it apple cider
6:13
like what was it in it what was it doing
6:15
do you oh it it It produced an
6:18
overwhelming sense of impending doom and
6:21
I seriously mean overwhelming like
6:23
there's no way I could have lived like
6:24
that if that would have lasted for see
6:27
Michaela Knew by that point that it
6:28
would probably only last month and I was
6:30
like a month cider oh I didn't sleep
6:34
that that month I didn't sleep for 25
6:36
days I didn't sleep at all I didn't
6:39
sleep at all for 25 days how is that
6:40
possible that I'll tell you how it's
6:42
possible you lay in bed uh Frozen in
6:45
something approximating Terror for eight
6:47
hours and then you get up oh my god oh
6:50
yeah not good this is from
6:53
cider I I feel like Joe Rogan is all of
6:56
us I'm listening to that and it doesn't
6:58
pass the sniff test I'm just going wait
7:00
apple cider you didn't sleep for how
7:03
long what are you talking about he
7:04
brings up Michaela by the way that's his
7:05
daughter we're going to get into it that
7:07
explanation does not make sense to me
7:10
whatsoever again I'm not a doctor I'm
7:12
not claiming to know how everybody's
7:14
body reacts to apple cider but I just
7:17
don't think that you wouldn't sleep for
7:19
that long because of it now instead of
7:22
calling beers on this right out the gate
7:25
right one would expect Candace to reach
7:28
out to Dr peton and sort of come on her
7:32
show and tell the world give the world
7:35
some clarity but she's not going to do
7:38
that because she wants to use it to
7:41
attack him I mean anyone who's been
7:43
following Dr Peterson knows that his
7:46
health has been a roller coaster I think
7:49
clinical depression runs in the family
7:51
and I believe his grandfather self
7:55
deleted I believe so it's been a mess
7:58
his health has
7:59
Meander here it has Twisted there it's
8:03
been a mess and we all know about that
8:06
so for her to immediately call be on
8:10
this to call it a lie immediately I
8:13
think she's being dishonest she's being
8:16
dishonest just to sort of have an arrow
8:20
to stab Dr peton with now what followed
8:23
thereafter was that in February of 2020
8:26
so that's almost a year and a half later
8:28
news broke that Jordan Peter was seeking
8:30
emergency drug treatment in Russia
8:34
according to his family and this was in
8:35
a CBC news article from February of 2020
8:39
Jordan Peterson's family says he has
8:41
sought emergency drug detox treatment in
8:43
Russia after several failed attempts to
8:45
overcome his dependence on a potent
8:47
anti-anxiety
8:48
medicine they obviously spoke to his
8:50
daughter Michaela as she speaks out on
8:53
behalf of her father a lot she also has
8:55
her own podcast and talks a lot about
8:57
growing up with him and what she's
8:58
learned and this is a direct quote from
9:00
her he's had to spend 4 weeks in the ICU
9:03
in terrible shape but with the help of
9:05
some extremely confident and courageous
9:07
doctors he survived she goes on to say
9:10
the decision to bring him to Russia was
9:11
made in extreme desperation when we
9:13
couldn't find any better option it goes
9:16
on the article says that his family says
9:19
he had been taking the drug for years to
9:21
mitigate lingering anxiety following a
9:24
severe autoimmune reaction to food his
9:28
dependence reported ly started last
9:30
spring after doctors increased his doses
9:34
his dosage pardon to help him cope with
9:36
stress as his wife Tammy battled kidney
9:40
cancer okay so um immediately have some
9:44
questions there so we're saying that
9:45
there was a food reaction and then in in
9:47
response to the food reaction they put
9:49
you on anxiety medicine and then the
9:53
dosage was wrong and he apparently had
9:55
what appears to me to be um drug
10:00
overdose so what she's doing here is to
10:03
sort of go through the issues
10:06
dismissively she's trying to say she
10:09
does not understand not because she has
10:12
not done any Research into Dr Peterson's
10:16
medical issues but because it's one big
10:21
made up messy lie okay she's saying she
10:25
does not understand because it's all
10:29
just nonsense I'm sure you saw the
10:32
dismissive gestures and the dismissive
10:36
facial expressions she's doing all that
10:39
just so she can get to the conclusion
10:41
where she says it was an overdose she's
10:45
basically trying to label Dr Peterson as
10:48
just another junky that's what she's
10:50
going for that's all that matters to her
10:54
in this moment and Michaela ends the
10:57
article by basically telling them like
10:58
you know he'll speak out when he's ready
11:00
and that moment came in 2021 Jordan
11:02
Peterson was ready to talk about it this
11:04
is a New York Post headline entitled he
11:06
was suicidal and addicted to benzo from
11:11
that article it reads that he was
11:13
struggling with an addiction to benzo
11:15
prescribed to him after a violent
11:17
reaction to a strict meat and greens
11:21
diet okay and then in regards to his
11:24
cider the apple cider uh overdose or the
11:27
apple cider reaction New York Post
11:29
writer put this quote Peterson has
11:32
previously claimed that he didn't sleep
11:34
for 25 days during this time but the
11:37
longest period of human sleep
11:38
deprivation ever recorded is only 11
11:42
days the paper notes so what they're
11:44
saying is he
11:46
lied he he must have lied I mean that's
11:49
a unless or he just broke this record
11:51
from 11 days he he not only doubled it
11:53
he added some he just added 14 days to
11:56
the longest record ever held of sleep
11:58
deprivation or as I said Jordan Peterson
12:01
was not being honest which would mean
12:02
that he violated one of his 12 rules
12:06
when someone with insomnia says they've
12:09
not slept for X number of days right
12:12
it's not a mathematical statement it
12:15
does not mean um number of hours slept
12:20
equals zero no it's not if I have
12:24
insomnia and I say I have not slept for
12:28
3 days so like it should be entered in
12:31
the records that I went 3 days without
12:35
sleep you know sometimes you will drift
12:38
into sleep for 20 minutes and then
12:42
awaken but basically for the sake of
12:46
practicality you cannot say you slept
12:49
and so Dr Peterson didn't literally stay
12:53
awake for 25 days there is no need to
12:57
enter him in the a Guinness Book of
13:00
Records but she's being dishonest she
13:03
knows what the doctor meant but she has
13:07
to smear him so she will ignore all
13:11
logic she will ignore all common sense
13:15
she will ignore all new on and to be
13:18
clear back when he was saying this about
13:21
having not slept because of appleid or
13:23
the internet immediately knew that he
13:25
was lying here are some of the tweets
13:27
from people regarding his cider overdose
13:30
one person writes he's describing benzo
13:32
withdrawal to a te an overwhelming sense
13:34
of impending doom and horrific insomnia
13:37
another user writes exactly what I just
13:38
said bro had the withdrawals in the
13:41
worst kind of way been cleaning sober
13:43
for over 12 years now but benzo are
13:45
harder to stop than heroin this last
13:47
person writes he didn't say apple cider
13:49
vinegar he said cider my inference is
13:51
that it was alcoholic cider and his
13:53
reaction sounds like benzo withdrawal
13:55
probably was combining booze and benzo
13:57
for a while in any event we aren't
14:00
getting the full story and lastly this
14:03
person writes when I was detoxing off of
14:05
methadone I didn't sleep for almost
14:06
three months it is possible you're in a
14:09
Twilight half awake barely asleep with
14:11
no real rest if you've ever if you've
14:13
never been through addiction and or
14:14
detox from anything then you have no
14:15
idea what you're talking about so yes
14:17
the internet uh people that have lived
14:20
through this understood that what he was
14:22
actually going through far from the
14:23
story that he was painting was
14:25
withdrawal good oldfashioned withdrawal
14:27
which a lot of drug users obviously um
14:31
no can lead to insomnia now jumping back
14:35
into the New York Post narrative now
14:37
again Jordan is speaking out about
14:39
having had this addiction Jordan said he
14:42
was prescribed a low dose of
14:43
antidepressants to help him recover I
14:46
don't know if it's from the meat do meat
14:47
detox I honestly can't follow but the
14:50
dosage was increased after Peterson sunk
14:52
into depression following his wife
14:54
Tammy's cancer
14:55
diagnosis so I'm going to be honest
14:57
about when all this was coming coming
14:59
out and it was all very confusing and it
15:00
wasn't quite clear is this a food
15:01
allergy is this depression is this just
15:04
somebody who's addicted to Pills and
15:06
doesn't want to quite tell the public I
15:08
was having private conversations with
15:10
people and people that are in the
15:10
conserv m going I don't see how he's
15:12
going to recover from this moment
15:13
because it just seems to me that if your
15:16
entire brand is built on telling people
15:19
how to order their lives and then what
15:22
becomes a parent is that your life is in
15:24
disarray how how do they trust you again
15:28
I think that's that's the big question
15:29
how do they trust you again how do they
15:30
rely on you CU listen I didn't have a
15:33
pretty childhood and I've seen drug
15:35
addiction and I do have a very low
15:38
tolerance for it I'll be honest like
15:40
when I when people are talking about
15:41
their addiction struggles and I'm
15:42
thinking man I wish addiction wasn't an
15:44
option for me like people that just turn
15:45
to drugs as a solution for every problem
15:48
you know it's hard for me to feel bad
15:53
because there are people that grow up in
15:54
sets and circumstances that are so much
15:56
worse and they don't turn to drink and
15:59
they don't turn to drugs now that's just
16:02
silly because Dr Peterson was diagnosed
16:06
with a medical problem he was prescribed
16:10
medication by a doctor and the dosage
16:14
was monitored by a doctor so you cannot
16:18
equate him to someone who just resorts
16:23
to drugs as a solution for every problem
16:28
that's just silly it's not like he was
16:31
partying with drugs and became addicted
16:35
so according to Candace if you had an
16:39
injury and then you were prescribed pain
16:43
medication and eventually you became
16:46
dependent on the pills she's saying
16:49
you're just weak you're just someone who
16:52
turns to drugs as a solution for every
16:57
problem do you see how silly that sounds
17:00
that's just how silly she sounds and
17:04
she's willing to sound stupid as long as
17:08
she's smearing Dr Peterson that's all
17:11
she cares about in this video so I
17:14
checked myself and I said you know kace
17:15
that is actually you just having a chip
17:17
on your shoulder and maybe it's true
17:19
that it's amazing and maybe Jordan
17:22
Peterson having audience that he has
17:24
will actually come out of this better
17:26
and stronger because he will share with
17:29
the world how he was able to overcome
17:31
this and reorder his life write another
17:33
book you know how to reorder your life
17:35
after a chaotic scene wasn't the case I
17:37
think men felt like they couldn't trust
17:39
him they never felt that he was fully
17:42
honest and it felt like there was a lot
17:44
of him and his daughter kind of trying
17:46
to condition this in a different vein
17:48
whether it was talking about his wife's
17:50
cancer diagnosis and I hope that she's
17:51
okay I think that she is which is
17:52
amazing I know that she's recently come
17:53
to Faith there there never seemed to be
17:56
that big radical honest moment that came
17:58
from him he
