Jordan Peterson explains how your brain actually slows down time in a response to a emergency situation.

This is a clip cut from the original full video "2015 Personality Lecture 04: Heroic & Shamanic Initiations II: Mircea Eliade", which can be found on Jordan Peterson's channel.

The drama of allowing old presuppositions die, and new ones emerge, was represented in heroic and shamanic initiations and then in drama and story long before it was rationally articulated by modern psychoanalysts and psychologists.

Jordan Bernt Peterson (born June 12, 1962) is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His main areas of study are the psychology of religious and ideological belief, and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance. He authored Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief in 1999.
