What if the self you keep trying to serve isn't actually you at all? In this
lecture, the final stop of a 60 city tour, Jordan Peterson begins with an
unlikely admission from the world's most famous atheist and follows it into the
two shortest, densest paragraphs in the Bible: the story of two brothers and the
offerings they make. From there he traces a single thread through the whole
architecture of a human life, why the child who insists on his own way ends up
with no friends, why a marriage cannot survive on getting what you want, and how
a thousand quiet hours of resentment turn an ordinary person into someone
capable of the unthinkable. What he uncovers is not a rule about religion but a
question your own conscience has been asking you all along, one that decides
whether the world opens up in front of you or closes in. The answer has nothing
to do with belief in the usual sense, and everything to do with what you're
willing to give up.
This lecture was filmed on June 25, 2024, in Mexico City, Mexico.
