so when you think of Nevada you think of gambling what place do you immediately

think of well I bet you most of you were thinking Las Vegas but there is also

another place that's considered a bit of a gambling capital and that is Reno

Nevada so what brings me here well it's difficult for somebody who is involved

in gambling not to check out a town that was sort of has a big part of its

history on gambling as well but also I've read loads of books from people

like Ed Thorpe I also read a book called the Newtonian casino where they plied

their trades all around here so you know just curiosity overwhelms me to come

here and actually have a look and see what it's all about but also I'm really

interested to see what they do with their sports betting side of things as

well because it's very different over here from the rest of the world and also

you know they're quite ante online stuff as well so there was a casino along here

somewhere I can remember which one it is off top my head that was fined for

linking to an online sports book so yeah I want to check out and see what the

sports books are like how they're run inside the casinos you know you may find

an opportunity probably not but I think just out of curiosity it's worth having

a look at how they do sports betting over here so here's a little bit of

history about Reno for you it was founded during the gold rush era as a

lot of towns were in California and Nevada and a disillusioned gold worker

gold miner a speculator however you want to call him I was coming back across

from California and from the mountains realized that people needed to cross the

Truckee River which is just behind me here and built a toll bridge and that

was pretty much the start of Reno Nevada now from there he built an inn and the

town started to develop from there and one of the things you realize around

this area is that it's quite remote there isn't much around here especially

you know you've got the mountains in one direction and desert north south east

and west and as a consequence and you tend to find that it's a sort of place

that people would probably stop on a longer journey so it began to establish

itself a little bit further from there now when the state of Nevada legalized

gambling Reno stepped up to the plate I mean you're a sort of a town in the

middle of nowhere you need to attract people in and gambling was illegal in

California so Reno saw the opportunity it's right on the border very near to

California to get a bit of custom over the border as it were and they set up a

number of casinos when the gambling was legalized and that's sort of how Reno

made its name around that particular era because people would travel in from

across the state line and come here to have a little bit of again

so when you visit all of these casinos they're fairly similar in terms of the

structure plenty of bars I was surprised to find that you can actually smoke in

Nevada I wasn't aware of that so that was a bit of a surprise to me but there

are also plenty of other surprises in the casinos as well

so you're trying to make a decision on how you would like to place a bet what's

the best way to do it well have a few beers and then place a bet from there so

remarkably when you look at these casinos you can actually find gambling

machines placed right on the bar to tempt you in a little bit away from the

bar you have a more traditional casino with gaming tables that you'd expect to

find but one of the things I didn't expect to find was the prevalence of

William Hill there were a significant number of William Hill outlets in and

around Reno and particularly as later research would provide in Nevada itself

so yeah obviously geared around the sports book but they had a very

significant presence and if you've never seen a traditional sports book in the US

this is what it looks like not like your typical bookmakers back at home large

screens desks and plenty of information I'm scattered around all over the place

all with the desire to tempt you into a bet but all of the slips you'd pick up

basically from the William Hill counter and then you'd get the odds displayed on

a large screen he may think that's familiar with the UK but of course in

the US and you get them next to a bar so yeah large screen with all of the

sporting action on all of the odds and then you pick up a coupon and go and

place your bet much in the same manner you would with a traditional bookmaker

so outside that wasn't much in the way of shopping however it was very

interesting to see that they had convenient and placed a pawnbroker

when you look at most of these casinos from the outside it's of stark contrasts

to what you find on the inside from the outside a lot of these casinos really

look pretty bland there's not an awful lot going on and you tend to find that

the casino has a lot of activity on the lower floor and then as you go up

through several different tiers there are different forms of entertainment and

available to you so yeah very different when you look from the outside in here

we're looking at downtown Reno and the interesting thing to know here is as we

pan across you can see what looks like a variety of shops and apartments but

ultimately this is all one giant casino they're themed individually into

individual different types of casinos but you can actually walk through on the

top floor between individual casinos into different themed areas so I thought

the move out of downtown and go to pepper mill this is something that was

recommended to me this looks a bit more sort of legacy style in terms of being a

huge hotel a spa and a casino so let's go inside have a look

so peppermint is very similar to all of the large casinos they are probably

familiar with in places like Vegas very very large floors absolutely stuffed

full of gaming machines left right and center and it's always something I've

struggled with because gaming machines I struggle to see the appeal of really

however when you go into those casinos they also have traditional games areas

such as poker and blackjack but also very large restaurants so that if you

wanted to do something other than semi gaming machine you can do that but the

interesting thing is the dominance of gaming machines in these style of

casinos however the thing I was really interested in was having a look that's

the sports book and Peppermill had a very large sports battalion

so there's plenty of information available for people who are wagering at

these sports books but there's you know nothing particularly interesting you can

scan a QR code and look at some more form in greater depth but a lot of these

things are printed out on the individual day I wondered whether there was an

opportunity with the odds that were being printed out to exploit some sort

of form of arbitrage but the fact is the was so large that wasn't really a

distinct possibility but yeah it was interesting to spend a bit of time here

having a look at the markets from this perspective

Oh

so I'm hoping you can hear me but it's actly so wait in here knowing

that these people are the other people on the other side of bands really wait

you come to places like this you see lots people gambling and for me gambling

is about skill and judgment and you against others and if your skill and

judgment is better than that then you would expect to earn money over a period

of time which is exactly what I've done for the last two decades and I get a lot

of pleasure out of that I get a lot of pleasure of trying to solve those

unsolvable problems and trying to really get to grips with how I can overcome

those issues and also do it better than anybody else I you know I get a real

sense of achievement out of doing that you know if I sat on a blackjack table I

would probably enjoy that here because you know there is a demonstrable chance

I could win it's me against the dealer okay the odds aren't fantastic but the

you know it is a potential win there so I'd probably enjoy that I probably even

enjoy sitting at a roulette wheel I know that I would lose money but if I had

some friends there and we're having a drink and a laugh I would probably enjoy

that I'd be willing to pay for that experience but when you look at these

machines down here these slot machines these video games and variants they're

off that we see here I mean these are just out and out of money losers

wouldn't gain any pleasure from sitting down on their I tried to do it earlier

and I just couldn't bring myself to do I couldn't even put $1.00 in any of these

machines because I just thought this is pointless I don't understand why anybody

would do this and yet when I was walking the floor I saw somebody here that was

playing two at the same time and I wanted to jump in and just say stop you

know you're gonna lose money twice as fast what are you doing are you stupid

the more you play them and the longer you play them the more money you're

gonna lose and if you're having a bit of alcohol and you're being sort of

encouraged for want of a better word to sit down for longer then it's just a

one-way street and I don't understand or get pleasure or how understand how

people get pleasure they obviously do the other words they wouldn't do it but

for me I think gambling has always been a case of a game of skill

and trying to be your opponent and being better than your opponent and that's

where you're gonna get your edge that's what I enjoy

I don't enjoy just throwing money away for the sake of it so yeah not for me

but maybe I'll I'll sit down at some of the tables and having previously learned

many many moons ago how to card count I could probably pick up a couple of

decent opportunities on some of the tables but but it then again you know

you could you still can't win over the long term but I would actually enjoy the

challenge of sitting at the table and trying to do the best that I can so as I

mentioned at the beginning of this video Reno was one of the first places in

Nevada to legalize gaming and gambling of all sorts but obviously over time

that sort of declined because not only did you have Vegas rise to prominence

but you also have Indian reservations in other areas where gambling can take

place so you know it sort of went on the decline a little bit but when you come

to places like pepper mill these are much more like the sort of places that

are likely to see in Vegas downtown Reno is a bit old-fashioned it feels a bit

dated to me but pepper mill feels very much like a Vegas style casino but also

there are other benefits to Reno as well so you know if you if you go to Vegas

you can go to the Grand Canyon but if you go to Reno you can go to Lake Tahoe

and the mountains that's around here so great for winter sports or in the summer

you can go hiking I've been up to Lake Tahoe I've done a tour around the lake

have done a bit of hiking been down to the lake up a few mountains and just did

all of those sort of things and in the winter obviously you can go skiing and

snowboarding and stuff and there seem to be an almost infinite number of ski runs

around Lake Tahoe so you know well Reno may not be Vegas in Vegas you go down a

giant hole in the ground the Grand Canyon but in Reno you can go up some

spectacular mountains above a spectacular lake so I think you

know Reno does have its benefits it's may not be as big as Vegas now but

certainly for people in California or a little bit further north in Vegas I

think it's a suitable determine if especially if you're into winter sports

or you're into hiking where you fancy going up some mountains or going on the

lake the lake is big spectacular and I think you know you could probably get

the benefit of doing that and nipping down to Reno or coming into Reno I'm

going up and doing that so a little bit different from Vegas maybe not quite as

spectacular but things like Peppermill are very similar and very familiar with

people who've been to Vegas in terms of this sort of casinos that you're likely

to see there so yeah that is arena Nevada

Jordan Peterson's Ultimate Advice to College Student on What to Do in College - Duration: 11:00.

So Dr. Peterson you mentioned these ideas of responsibilities of virtue of

respect you've I think, detailed what you think students shouldn't do in these

examples of like protests and these examples of certain types of activist

tactics what advice would you have for students how can students make the

changes that they want to make particularly do you have any advice for

students here? Dr. Peterson: Yeah read great books. {mm-hmm} really man you've got this four

year period that has been carved out of your lives by society they it's given

you an identity like a high quality identity and freedom at the same time

and you're not gonna get that again in your life you've got a you've got a

respectable identity University student and complete freedom associated with

that or as near as you're ever going to get and you've got these unbelievable

libraries that are full of the writings of people who are who are intelligent

and articulate beyond comprehension and you know and and you can go there and

you can learn all this and you might think well why should you learn it well

you've learned it to get a job or you learn it to get good grades or you learn

it to get a degree and that's all nonsense it's nonsense

the reason that you come to university to be educated is because there is

nothing more powerful than someone who is articulate and who can think and

speak its power and I mean power of the best sort and it's Authority and

influence and respectability and competence and so you come to University

to craft your highest skill and your highest skill is to be found in

articulated speech and if you're if you're if you're a master at formulating

your arguments you win everything and better than that when you win everything

everyone around you wins too because to transform yourself into let's consider

you consider your transformation to something approximating the logos it

means you shine a light on the whole world

well there's nothing more exciting to do than that there's nothing better you can

possibly do and to think that you're coming to university to be you know

trained to have a job it's like great that's a hell of a lot better than being

unemployed and covered with cheeto dust while you're snacking away in front of

your video game in the basement but it's not it's not a and I don't have anything

against video games by the way

but it's hardly a triumphant call to to being in the world and that's what

university should be calling for it's like God you people you you know I know

what Harvard students are like I taught here for five years you people are

spectacular you're spectacular you're you're you're all capable of being world

beaters you transform yourself into something that's articulated and

sensible and grounded in history and knowledgeable and wise man you can do

anything you want and hopefully anything you want for good because if you have

any sense everything you want to do would be for the good because there's

nothing more compelling or meaningful or or useful in combating the tragedy of

life than to than to struggle with all your soul on behalf of the good and the

universities have forgotten that it's why everyone's bailing out of the

humanities and they should the humanities are corrupt and they're

corrupt because they're not telling students this it's a bloody obvious it's

like learn to think learn to speak learn to read it makes you a superpower an

individual superpower you have it and I don't understand why that isn't just

told to students it's not that hard to understand it everyone wants to hear

it's like really I could do this I could do that it's like yeah really you could

do that and the whole society around you is labored for really thousands of years

to provide every single one of you with this spectacular opportunity that you

have while you're undergraduates and graduate students here man

they're just everyone's just praying that you would come here and manifest

everything that you could manifest and that's what you should be doing instead

of waving placards and complaining about how you're oppressed for God's sake

you see these Yale students complaining about their oppression it's just it just

leaves me a gasp it's like well we're against the ruling class it's like no no

no your baby ruling class members you're young

the only reason you're not rich is cuz you're young you know that's the best

really that's them if you look at the 1% even the dreaded 1% you know most of

those people are old why well when you progress through life if you're

reasonably successful you trade in your promising youth for your wealthy old age

but you're still bloody old would you would you trade it would you trade your

youth for that like if you factor age out of the economic equation things look

a lot different well of course older people have more money if they have any

sense they've been collecting it for their whole life is that somehow unfair

it's not unfair unless you want to want to be poverty-stricken when you're 70

and you don't want to be poverty poverty-stricken when you're 70 so I

just don't understand what's happened to the universities I can't believe that

you're not told when you come the first day look man you are out you're here on

a heroic mission you're going to take your capacity to articulate yourself to

levels that are undrained of your gonna come out of here unstoppable you're

going to be able to do anything you want it's like that's what you're here for

instead you're taught that well you know the world is a pretty oppressive place

and you're probably the bottom of the victim pile and and there's and there's

there's virtually nothing you could do about it except you know deconstruct the

patriarchy and it's so we need and so pathetic that that university should be

embarrassed that that's what they're peddling to students I'm embarrassed by

it you know I've gone on public record telling parents bloody well send your

boys to trade school because at least they'll learn something useful and

that's a terrible thing for someone like me to say because I do believe that the

art being articulated and educated in the highest possible manner is there's

nothing that's better for you and for society and why are why have the

universities forgotten this well that's postmodern neo Marxism for

you you know now then the philosophy of intense resentment and oppression and

group identity and God it's just pathetic

Dr. Peterson I think a lot of students here would agree with you that one of

the main purposes of education at college particularly at Harvard is to

develop their sense of articulate their ability to read their ability to

critically think but then what comes after particularly at Harvard

there's a big discussion on what is a good life what does it mean to use those

skills that we get here and then we graduate what do we do from there

stop unnecessary suffering mm-hmm that's what you do you know that that's your

calling it's like you say well what do you do after you graduate well if you

graduate articulated and powerful there will be people giving you so many

opportunities you won't even be able to keep up with them you know and I've

worked with very very competent people in many different domains in my life

hyper competent people and I can tell you some very interesting things about

hyper competent people the first thing is they are not selfish and they are not

greedy and one of the great pleasures in their lives is to find people who have

the capacity to also be hyper competent and to open doors for them as rapidly as

they can possibly be open they delight in that because there is there's nothing

there's very few things that are more intrinsically meaningful if you're an

accomplished person than to find young people who have the possibility of being

accomplished and say hey look here's an opportunity for you it's like go out

there man kill it and then they go out there and kill it you think right on and

here's another opportunity for their nail back to you think no no they're

holding their wealth and they're not going to share it with anyone it's like

that's absolute complete rubbish hmm and so you don't even have to worry

about what you're going to do after you graduate from here if you if you turn

yourself into half of what you could be because people will be dying to offer

you every opportunity that you can possibly make use of so it's it's it's a

moot point that the world is always desperately short of people who can

think and speak and and you think well I I won't be made use of first of all you

can't say that if you're if you're at Harvard for God's sake I mean people

already figured out who you are they've already figured it out and they're

offering you the world on a on a gold platter they take it it's yours take it

it's like great man put yourself together and deserve it that would be

great and that's what everyone wants it's what your parents want it's also

what you want you know it it's what you want it's what men it's what women want

from men it's what men want from women it's like for you to be who you

could be and then the highest Faculty of the human being is articulated speech

it's it's the divine faculty and there is nothing more powerful than that

there's nothing it's even in the same league and so if you if you don't have

faith in that then you're then your priorities are misplaced and I can't

even understand why you wouldn't have faith in that

being say Harvard students because look where it's got you already you know why

you're already sitting on top of the world

so make deserve that make use of it right go out there and fix things up

that's what you need to do there's lots of things that need to be fixed up and

what you want to do is burden yourself with so much responsibility that you can

barely stand and then you'll get stronger trying to lift it up and you'll

be won't be asking what should I be doing with my life or what's the meaning

of life or any of that it'll be self-evident its self-evident at minimum

you can say there's more suffering in the world than there should be and I

could probably do something about that and you can do something about that so

go do something about him and then they'll be less suffering in the world

and then when you're 80 you can look back on your life and say well you know

there's less suffering in the world than there and there would have been had I

know it existed and and you don't have to even have a sense of ultimate destiny

or even any sort of theistic belief to regard that as a positive good like I

think it goes beyond the mere pragmatic utility of addressing the world's ills

because I think we do live in a you know in a world that has a transcendent

reality as well as the reality that we can detect but even independently of

that it doesn't matter it's like I mean this is part of the reason I like people

like Bill Gates is a great example man that guy is he's after five major

diseases at the same time right he's trying to wipe out polio he's trying to

wipe out um malaria yeah exactly he's trying to wipe out malaria it's like

well what should you do with your life well you know take a look at Bill Gates

and see if you could do something like that and that would be good so so dr.

Peterson you talked about this idea of ending unnecessary suffering and this

idea of committing one's life to that at a minimum I mean that's an obvious thing

that you could do
