The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

NOTE

Strengthening Faith in Goodness and Ethics

The passage emphasizes the importance of maintaining faith in one's essential goodness and the goodness of God despite adversities and challenges. It suggests that adopting the belief that conducting oneself ethically will lead to the best outcomes, regardless of immediate evidence, is crucial for stability. These notions are akin to religious proclamations and require a strong commitment to faith. The concept of shattered assumptions is compared to axioms of faith, rooted in early experiences rather than being mere desires. These beliefs are deemed fundamental and based on empirical validation, shaping one's view of the world as predictable and rooted in goodness.
