Virtue as a Necessity is a concept that has been around for a very long time. It s been around since at least the late 19th century, but it s been debated for a long, long time, and most people still don t understand it. In this lecture, Dr. Jordan Peterson explains why virtue is a necessity, and why it s important to understand the nature of reality. You can t really understand what makes up virtue until you modulate or modify your notion of what constitutes being, and that s a hard thing to do, because modern people are fundamentally materialistic and there s no reason to believe that there s any such thing as being without pain. In fact, there s nothing more real than their own pain, and everyone knows that pain transcends the materialist argument that pain is merely an epiphenomena. And there s very few people that are willing to allow the claim that their pain is a fundamental part of their being. Well, I suppose a person would say that the first person to say that is a Buddhist? well, well, I would tend to think that a person who does that is suffering is a very pessimistic person. But I ve found that when it comes down to it, the most fundamental consciousness is fundamental consciousness. . I think that when you look at it, what does it have to do with being, it s a fundamental consciousness? - is that a Buddhist dictum that says that suffering is fundamental consciousness ? or is it something that is fundamental Consciousness? What does it say about being that it s fundamental consciousness and that it is what does that mean to be something that s not a ? a person says that an in a Buddhist saying that s by which it s a human being ? What is it which is a ? What does that really mean the point of view How can we learn from the Buddha s teaching about being? Why is it important to be good at being good and good in the world why we should be better at being better than other people Why it s better than being good how to be better than others What makes up our reality who is better than them - why we need to learn to be a better human being -
