In this video, Dr. Oz shares that to address the world’s biggest problems we need the right words to describe them. However, it seems we have ceded the power of words to certain groups and that becomes the conditioning of how we think. Suddenly, you’re allowed to think of problems in a certain context. Jordan Peterson thinks the issue with that is that it means it interferes with the mandates of your conscious. You won’t be able to satisfy your conscious with ideological theory of how the world works because it is not particularized enough to you, and it just isn’t sufficient.
Also, Dr. Oz asks Jordan Peterson how people can get clear on their true values. Jordan Peterson feels that the first thing we need to do is see the world through a hierarchy of values. In terms of broken families, schools are teaching values they feel are best for the children. Sometimes, these may be values that parents don’t necessarily want for their kids so a large number of Americans are taking their children out of the public school system. What is the role of the school in society when we can’t tell if parents are paying attention to these issues concerning their children? Should values be taught at home or in schools?
