Follow Whatever Glitters In The Corner

Konstantin Kisin

Jordan Peterson delivers a lecture analyzing the story of Cain and Abel as a step-by-step deconstruction of resentment in an ordinary person who feels wronged. He explores the notion that reputation is a more durable store of value than money, the deeper meaning behind teaching a child to play the game well, and a personal experiment he deems exceptionally valuable. Afterwards, Konstantin Kisin joins to argue that these insights can be understood without reference to God, leading to a discussion about the birth control pill, the family, and the cultural shifts that must occur before a new technology becomes thinkable.
