Peterson Admits He Got This Wrong

In this solo lecture, Jordan Peterson works through the story of Abraham and the binding of Isaac, the passage in which a father is commanded to offer his only son. He argues the atheist reading of a monstrous God has the story backwards, reframing the sacrifice as a trade between present comfort and what you already want more. Along the way he illustrates the theme with everyday anchors such as a savings account, a mother's first day of school, and a statue Michelangelo carved at twenty-four. The lecture closes with a concrete, calculable challenge about the small percentage of your life you could improve this week. It was filmed on March 10, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
