Comedians were the ONLY source of truth allowed somehow when I was growing up in the Communist Russia 😇

Jordan b Peterson the least funny person in the world has advice for comedians

Just started this course last night and it's amazing. All of the courses so far have been above and beyond, but I particularly enjoy the lectures given by Peterson himself.

Jordan Please speak up! Hamas terrorists are still holding these Israeli children hostage in Gaza! No one in the international community seems to care enough in order to take real actions by imposing sanctions on Hamas leaders in Qatar and Turkey!

Yes,comedy is high art because in addition to what Peterson just said, sometimes it's a matter of saying what everybody is thinking but is afraid to say!❤️

When we lose comedy we lose it.

Ah, indeed, the delicate dance of comedy and truth. But truthfully, it's quite the contrary; comedy thrives not on truth but on the art of deception. Mark Twain, for example, was a notorious liar. The best comedy is always untruthful. As Picasso once said, "Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth." This, of course, is why so many comedians fail - they're far too honest.

Yes

"This is an interesting topic! The truthfulness in comedy often serves as an effective way to highlight societal issues. Dr. Peterson's teachings typically encourage deep reflection and thought. Could you share more information about this course?"

I'm 4 lectures into Introduction to Nietzsche... excellent. Also 2 lectures into Bishop Barron's series on God and the Bible and it's also excellent
