It means willingly undertaking the sacrifices necessary to generate a productive and meaningful reality (it means acting to please God, in the ancient language). There’s plenty here for his critics to get stuck into; he really hates the kind of group think which enforces deference to linguistic and ideological correctness. Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. This view contrasts with Peterson's, which postulates modern social and economic structures are an outgrowth of the hierarchical impulses of our premammalian, mammalian and primate ancestors. We know how we are naked, and how that nakedness can be exploited—and that means we know how others are naked, and how they can be exploited.You can set up the preconditions, you can follow meaning, when it manifests itself, but you cannot simply produce it, as an act of will. The book's central idea is that "suffering is built into the structure of being" and, although it can be unbearable, people have a choice either to withdraw, which is a "suicidal gesture", or to face and transcend it.
