Exploring the biological reasons for collaboration, this chapter discusses how the American founding fathers promoted collaboration despite racial differences, leading to a system encouraging wealth creation. It emphasizes the shift from kin relations to altruistic reciprocity and the importance of partnering based on shared insights and values. The chapter highlights the significance of reciprocal altruism in fostering diverse talents and technological advancements.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with evolutionary biologist, author, and podcaster Dr. Bret Weinstein. They discuss the migration crisis, what values make up the “American Identity,” the potential for defining the transcendent, the origins of mutual reciprocity, and how the founding fathers codified these ideas into guidelines for the most functional nation in history.
