Jordan Peterson's signature

JordanPetersonVideos is a YouTube educational and academic channel,[1] with over 3 million subscribers, developed by Dr. Jordan Peterson. Content covers a wide variety of topics, presented in several formats. Topics in lectures often relate to clinical psychology (personal, social, employment psychology, mental and physical well-being), philosophy.[2]

Several events through the channel's life have transformed it, and many videos and channel events have been the focus of international reporting.[3][4][5][6] Early content came from university course lectures,[lower-alpha 1] later the formats have expanded to live-stream Q&A, special lectures, media interviews and conversations, and other recordings including video essays. Additional content is aggregated via playlists, bringing together Peterson's appearances on TV broadcasts from other YouTube channels. From late 2020 and 2021, the channel is focussed on video conversations, which are also released as audio podcasts.

History[edit]

2003–2014 Television[edit]

For ten years before the creation of the YouTube channel, Peterson made many television appearances. In April 2003, TVOntario's Big Ideas program broadcast a special lecture by Peterson, "Slaying the Dragon Within Us".[7][8][9] In 2004, TVOntario broadcast a 13-part television series of the Maps of Meaning university course, condensed to 30 minutes.[10] A few years later, 2007, BBC broadcast a documentary which featured Peterson as an expert on low-latent inhibition.[11][12][13][14] Twelve television appearances on TVOntario's The Agenda, gave Peterson renewed provincial and national exposure between 2012-2014.[15]

2013–2016 YouTube Academic lectures[edit]

In March 2013, Peterson registered the channel JordanPetersonVideos,[16] and immediately began uploading recordings of lectures and interviews.[1] Earliest dated recordings are from Harvard lectures, 1996. By the end of 2013, content on the channel included the lectures from Harvard, some interviews, and additional special lectures on two defining topics: "Tragedy vs Evil" and "Psychology as a career".

From early 2014, uploads include recordings from two of his classes at University of Toronto ("Personality and Its Transformations" and "Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief"),[17] special lectures ("Potential" for TEDx, "Death of the Oceans"), interviews, two experiments in Q&A format, and his own video essays, on Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, and a response to an article by Conrad Black published in National Post.[18][19]

In March 2016, after three years of basic uploading of course videos, Peterson announced an interest to clean existing content and improve future content,[20] including a new experiment in crowdfunding through Patreon.[20]

Twelve television appearances on TVOntario's The Agenda, gave Peterson provincial and national exposure between 2012-2014,[21] which were made available through YouTube.

2016–2019 Public lectures[edit]

Major international exposure began in late September and early October 2016, with a small number of video essays uploaded under the playlist Professor against political correctness.[22] These presented an exposition on increase of political correctness in Universities, with a particular focus on the recently-tabled Canadian parliamentary bill C-16.[22] The essays went into details on the Human Rights tribunals, drew associations between provincial and federal enforcement processes. Particularly focussing on the environment of the University of Toronto, as an institution that regularly receives funding through governments, Peterson expressed grave concern about the future of quality education as may be affected by obstacles of a one-sided political nature; Peterson's commentaries have been subject to analysis and critiqued by legal professionals in Canada.[23] BBC coverage brought international attention to these videos,[5] and with the attention lead to several invitations onto Joe Rogan Experience podcast.[24]

From early 2017, the funding increased dramatically. Peterson hired a production team to film his 2017 psychology lectures at the University of Toronto. 2017 marked the final year of "Maps of Meaning" and "Personality and its Transformations" course lectures being recorded and uploaded. Donations through Patreon increased, from $200 per month in March 2016, to over $80,000 by May 2018.[25]

With this funding, a number of projects and lecture series were proposed: more interviews, regular live Q&A sessions,[25] public lecture series on the Bible (Genesis through Revelation), and an online university.[26]

In April 2017, a series of monthly live Q&A events commenced.[27] From May 2017 through December that year, a lecture series on biblical stories was recorded and released on YouTube.

In mid 2017, a Google system fault was exploited in a take-down attempt.[28] This lead to a brief suspension of Google account services including YouTube.[29][30] The services were quickly restored.[31]

A second period of growth began in January 2018, following publication of the new book 12 Rules for Life. In a lead-up to a book tour, several interviews were scheduled. A 30-minute interview on Channel 4 in UK "went viral", with more international public and media response.[32][33]

The book tour expanded on material from 12 Rules for Life, covering hundreds of cities and enabled development of additional content. Related to the content of Maps of Meaning, Peterson spoke with Iain McGilchrist on his book The Master and His Emissary in UK. A journalist in France, Andrew Sweeny commended the value of the talk.[lower-alpha 2][34] Touring in Australia, Peterson uploaded discussions, including with John Anderson, a former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. Author John C. Wright wrote about Peterson's position based tangentially on the talk with John Anderson.[lower-alpha 3][35] ABC News in Australia also discussed this conversation.[36]

2019–2021 Haitus, Conversations[edit]

Regular donations at established funding levels were interrupted, severely reduced, in January 2019. With three videos, December 2018 through January, Peterson in dialog with Dave Rubin outlined the situation. During a live stream in January, Peterson deleted his Patreon account in public protest to the platform's controversial banning of another prominent content creator. Subsequent reports lead to a response by many thousands of donors across the platform canceling their donor accounts, thus affecting collateral damage across the platform's creator community.[37][38] Peterson has noted to have lost over 5000 (half) of his monthly donor base on Patreon. Peterson and Dave Rubin announced the creation of a new, free speech-oriented social networking and crowdfunding platform.[39]

Due to emergency events, scheduling of the book tour and regular releases of new recordings were suspended in summer 2019. During this time, pre-recorded conversations, interviews were released infrequently, along with some announcement videos recorded by Mikhaila Peterson. Some excerpts from previous unreleased lecture recordings were released, including Who Dares Say He Believes In God?,[lower-alpha 4] responding to public confusion and speculation on his thoughts on God[40] and triggering responses from some Christian writers.[41]

In October 2020, a video was posted to the channel with the title "Return Home".[42] The video received nearly a million views within the first few hours, and was trending on YouTube for a day. The video has received over 95,000 comments as of February 2021, and has been seen over 4 million times.[43] Commenting on the video for National Post, Tyler Dawson wrote "Peterson also thanked his followers on social media and those who have purchased his book", and Dawson also cites Peterson's desire to return to the lectures on biblical stories.[4]

The Sunday Times interviewed Peterson for an article in January 2021, to review his return to public life, and his then forthcoming Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.[44] Peterson recorded the audio of the interview process and published it to the channel, and a change in engagement with interviewers, was noted in Toronto Star by Books Editor Deborah Dundas.[45]

Courses[edit]

Maps of Meaning lectures are regularly based on the textbook Maps of Meaning. The content also includes discussion from required reading material, following behavioural, neurophysiological and evolutionary biological topics.[46]

The Iranian web site Anthropology and Culture released a translation in 2014, of the 13 lectures from the TVOntario Maps of Meaning series.[47]

Personality and its Transformations is broken into a few subsets, considering different clinically relevant psychological schools, as well as psychometric tools, biological topics.[2]

In October 2018, Travis Kassab, a material sciences engineer, published a study, Independently Pursuing A Masters of Science. Kassab selected Personality and its Transformations and reading list among five online specialization programs.[48] Introducing the work, he references a National Academy of Sciences committee statement on potential inadequacies of research universities[lower-alpha 5] and considers the potential for alternative approaches to Masters education. He describes the outcomes of each of the five programs and provides a framework for further long-term structured learning.[51]

Derivative works and collaborations[edit]

UK-based DJ Akira the Don has released 14 albums, mixtapes and singles based from JordanPetersonVideos content, between 2017-2018.[52][53]

Toronto-based Holding Space Films produced a documentary which was broadcast on CBC Docs POV, called The Rise of Jordan Peterson. The film was conceived and directed by Patricia Marcoccia. She describes on CBC Docs POV and Wired Magazine, her inspiration from the Maps of Meaning lectures on TVOntario, and how the Professor against political correctness videos altered the trajectory of the documentary.[54][55]

UK-based Rebel Wisdom, founded by David Fuller[lower-alpha 6], produced a documentary partially covering Jordan Peterson after his 2016-2018 experiences.[56]

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ Primary uploads first three years were for "Maps of Meaning", and "Personality and its Transformations"
  2. ↑ On the discussion between Peterson and McGilchrist, Sweeny considers the written works of the two, and the value of their exchange for public discussion. "Two of the best books I’ve read in the past 5 years are ‘The Master and his Emissary’ by Iain McGilchrist, and ‘Map’s of Meaning’ by Jordan Peterson. I was therefore thrilled that a dialogue, however short and sweet, has taken place between these two titans... They have brought together warring worlds: in other words, they have made the bridge from the hard sciences to the arts; they have united phenomenology and psychology, religion and empiricism, poetry and objectivity."
  3. ↑ John Wright notes: "For your edification and enjoyment, here is his recent interview with John Anderson ... Jordan Peterson is no Christian, but he is a virtuous pagan."
  4. ↑ Who Dares Say He Believes In God? was recorded in Sydney, 26 Feb 2019, released 8 Jun 2019
  5. ↑ Kassab quotes the National Academy of Sciences committee: "many graduate programs do not adequately prepare students to translate their knowledge into impact"[49] and he further references the committee: "they conclude that current STEM graduate programs primarily serve the University itself. Imbalanced incentive systems disproportionately reward research publications and deemphasize the holistic development of students."[50]
  6. ↑ David Fuller is a former documentary film maker with BBC and Channel 4 UK
