Jordan Peterson argues the crisis tearing the Western world apart isn't political or economic—it goes far deeper. When science stripped meaning from the world, it left something worse behind: suffering with no purpose and no story to make sense of it. In this lecture, Jordan explains why your values determine what you see, why stories carry a truth science can't, and what it costs a person—and a culture—when they aim at the wrong things.
