Lecture 01: Present or Absent We Wrestle with God

What was said

"The world is founded on power. There's nothing but victims and victimizers. How do you identify the victimizers? Well, what's most convenient if you're a failure? How about the successful? The successful are victimizers. What does that imply? The hyper-successful are hyper-victimizers. They're the worst. Who's most hyper-successful statistically? Jews."

Peterson traced the surge of anti-Semitism on Ivy League campuses to the postmodernist Marxist narrative that frames all human relations as power struggles between victims and victimizers. He argued this framework inevitably targets Jews as hyper-victimizers due to statistical overrepresentation in success metrics, and blamed universities for perpetrating this narrative.
