The idea that our hunter gather ancestors lived in an egalitarian society is a myth. They're not naturally born egaltarians. And so much of the rule systems developed in these hunter gathers are to deal with the free riders and the bullies from god. That's e that compassion as a singular moral virtue is vulnerable to disruption by psychopathy. It provides no protection against mal lent predators. None.

After working for decades as a clinical psychologist and a professor at Harvard and the University of Toronto, Peterson has become one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals.
