The Necessity of Virtue

The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

NOTE

Embrace Pain to Understand Being

Pain, a fundamental experience, transcends rational argument, asserting its significance in understanding human existence. The materialist perspective struggles to accommodate these essential aspects of being. Recognizing pain and consciousness as foundational is crucial to discussing virtue.
