Jordan Peterson's Warning: "The Spirit of Cain is Back" | Lex Fridman Podcast

Jordan Peterson reveals why the "Spirit of Cain"—the primal force of resentment and envy—is destroying modern society. He explains how this ancient psychological pattern drives cancel culture, political polarization, and the terrifying rise of "terrified tyrants."


In this profound conversation, Peterson and Fridman explore the nature of evil, arguing that we must battle the "dragon" inside our own souls before fighting it in the world. Peterson opens up about being cancelled 40 times, the relentless attacks on his family, and why he believes the intellectual left is repeating the deadly mistakes of the 20th century. He also offers a steel-manned critique of Justin Trudeau, questioning whether a leader with no experience can truly serve the people.
