What I find interesting about this clip is that the 1991 movie 'Hook' is literally the opposite. There, Peter does make the sacrifice of maturity but the screenplay demands he re-discover the innocence/freedom of his life as Peter Pan in order to ostensibly enjoy his life. At the end of the movie he tosses his phone out the window after telling his boss whatever he's calling about isn't important as a decision to value the innocent immediacy of his family life. What the screenplay doesn't tell us is whether he had a job the next day and the consequences of that!
I think Peterson is speaking to another tier of freedom that comes with responsibility and concern for one's future and security: it tends to (non-exploitatively) benefit others around you, your community, etc.
Well if you're posting about videos of Jordan Peterson I might as well post an informative, charitable, opinionated and entertaining (to me) video from Contrapoints about who he is and what he's doing. Enjoy : https://youtu.be/4LqZdkkBDas
The video I linked to in my original post was directly relevant to this other take on Peter Pan and philosophy.
I'd like to understand why my comment is being downvoted by you and others?
Did you think the comment wasn't relevant to this overall post?
It feels like it is simply because I mentioned Jordan Peterson and anything that mentions him must be downvoted because he has been declared bad. Okay then.
Given I mentioned Jordan Peterson again, you should probably downvote this comment as well as a thoughtcrime.
