Okay, so here's a problem.

ENGLISH SPEECH | JORDAN PETERSON: Freedom to Be Yourself

Okay, so here's a problem.

  Okay(好), so here's a problem. There's a big problem here. The problem is, it's true. You're oppressed, you're oppressed, you're oppressed, you're oppressed. God only knows why. Maybe you're too short or you're not as beautiful as you could be or, you know, your parent, your grandparent was a serf likely, because almost everybody's great grandparent was.
  It's like, you know, and you're not as smart as you could be, and you have a sick relative, and you have your own physical problems, and it's like, frankly(坦率地), you're a mess, and you're oppressed in every possible way, including your ancestry(祖先) and your biology, and the entire(全部的) sum(金额) of human history has conspired to produce(生产) victimized you with all your individual pathological problems. It's like, yes, true, okay. But the problem is, is that it is true, and so if you take the oppressed, you have to fractionate them and fractionate them, and it's like, you're a woman, yeah, okay. Well, I'm a black woman. Well, I'm a black woman who has two children. Well, I'm a black woman who has two children, and one of them isn't very healthy.
  And then, well, I'm a Hispanic(西班牙的) woman, and I have a genius(天才) son who doesn't have any money so that he can't go to university, and, you know, I had a hell(地狱) of a time getting across the border. It was really hard on me to get my citizenship([法] 公民身份). My husband is an alcoholic brute(畜生). It's like, well, yeah, that sucks(吸), too. And so, well, so let's fix all your oppression. And we'll take every single thing into account, and then we'll fix yours, too.
  We'll take every single thing into account. It's like, no, you won't, because you can't. You can't. It is technically(技术上) impossible. First of all, you can't even list all the ways that you're oppressed. Second, how are you going to weight them?
  Third, who's going to decide? And that's the bloody(血腥的) thing. Who's going to decide? That's the thing. Well, what's the answer in the West? It's like, in free markets, oh, yeah, Christ(基督) will never be able to solve this problem.
  No one can solve it. What are we going to do about that? We're going to outsource it to the marketplace(市场). You're going to take your sorry, pathetic(可怜的) being(存在), and you're going to try to offer me something that maybe I want. And I'm going to take my sorry, pathetic being, and I'm going to say, well, all things considered, as well as I can understand them, maybe I could give you this much money, which is actually a promise for that thing. And you've packed all of your damn( 该死的) oppression into the price.
  And I've packed all my oppression into the willingness(乐意) to pay it. And that solution sucks. It's a bad solution. But compared to every other solution, man, it's why 10% of us have freedom(自由). And so there's a tremendous(极大的) illogic at the bottom of this. It's like, you have to fractionate the oppressed all the way down to the level of the individual.
  All that's what the West figured( 认为) out. There's a couple of figures who add the mythological(神话的) roots(根) of our culture. And people get upset with me because I bring in religious themes, but I understand some things about mythology(神话) and religion. It's not an accident that the axiomatic(自明的) Western individual is someone who was unfairly nailed to a cross and tortured(拷打). It's like, yes, right, exactly. So what do you do about that?
  Well, I thought about that for a long time, too. It's like, well, you don't get together in a damn bob. Because all that does is allow you to be as horrible as you could possibly imagine and suffer from none of the consequences. That's a bad idea. So how about we don't do that?
