Jordan Peterson's 'Dragons, Monsters, and Men' | Only On DailyWire+

one of the things I tell young men well

and young women as well but the young

men really need to hear this more I

think you should be a monster an

absolute monster and then you should

learn how to control it

so a man who's capable of aggression but

has it under control is a way more

useful man than one who cannot do that

and so you're willing to go get a job

but you're terrified of an interview

it's like there's a dragon for you

because you want to fight the dragons

that guard the gates of the treasure

that you wish to attain

the productivity requires aim

orientation responsibility discipline

that willingness to work that

willingness to make sacrifices which is

the Hallmark of maturity in the service

of a higher goal

it orients you solidly in the world if

you do that and it gives you a dragon to

fight

what do you want to grow up you want to

be illiterate

you want to be inarticulate

you're going to have to negotiate

you're gonna have to lead you're gonna

have to convince you're gonna have to

think to say to a 18 year old

you're okay the way you are that just

deflates them

[Music]

you know when you go to the gym and you

start lifting weights well your body's

going to transform but it's not going to

do that if you just sit around you have

to face your being with the necessity of

transformation and then all sorts of new

things that you had no idea you were

capable of will make themselves manifest

those are the dragons you know the ones

that stand in the path that leads to the

light and you have to say to yourself I

will

do good

nonetheless

everyone great makes that decision

make that decision because maybe you're

great

[Music]

[Applause]
