One of my favorite Jordan Peterson quotes: “…You have to recognize yourself as a perpetrator of great evil. That is what you are, and that’s a terrible thing for people to learn. You look at the 20th century and you think, ‘Who brought on the horrors of the communist systems and the horrors of the Nazi systems?’ The answer is: people just like you. That’s the answer; and if you don’t understand that, if you think that answer is wrong, then you’re not very wise. And it’s not surprising, because the price you pay for wisdom is: radical disillusionment [with yourself] and the confrontation with evil [within yourself]. And no one wants that.” (words in brackets added by me and are intended to help with context)
