Summary

In this live lecture from Omaha, Nebraska, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson weaves through biblical narratives and cultural critique—from Tolstoy’s suicidal despair to Moses’ encounter with the burning bush, from Cain’s failed sacrifice to James Bond as the symbol of romantic adventure. What do these stories have in common? What happens when we replace transcendent pursuit with technological pride or ideological dogma? This is a warning—and a call—to speak the truth, take up your cross, and climb. This “We Who Wrestle With God” tour stop was filmed in Omaha, NE, on October 21st, 2024.

And you do that when you, well, when you start a new business or when you take on a new job,

1:28.8

if you are in it wholeheartedly, if you're in it in the manner that would most assure your success,

1:36.5

you devote yourself to it and you make the relevant sacrifices.

1:42.7

Now, imagine that as you go through your life, you prioritize one thing and then perhaps that

1:51.9

and so your direction shifts.

2:05.7

And imagine you repeat that continually, and you do that in good faith, and you continue

2:11.1

to pursue your object of devotion, but you observe what it is that you're aiming for transforms across time.

2:21.3

Now, that doesn't mean that the things you were aiming for along the way were improper,
