Very interesting!  Thanks, Syne!

"Peterson's primary goal was to figure out the reasons why individuals, not simply groups, engage in social conflict, and try to model the path individuals take that results in atrocities like the Gulag, Auschwitz and the Rwandan genocide. Peterson considers himself a pragmatist, and uses science and neuropsychology to examine and learn from the belief systems of the past and vice versa, but his theory is primarily phenomenological. In the book, he explores the origins of evil, and also posits that an analysis of the world's religious ideas might allow us to describe our essential morality and eventually develop a universal system of morality."

Jordan Peterson (wikipedia.org)

I’m not sure how I feel about this yet.  I’ll have to explore it a little more.  Undecided

Absolutism vs. universalism vs. relativism vs. skepticism

Especially from 4:07, where he talks about how America should never go single-payer or government mandated, because socialized medicine countries like Sweden "parasite upon" the innovations that only occur in a free market healthcare system.
