Q&A: Making Meaning Together

In the Question & Answer session, Dr. Peterson addresses student questions about memory, narrative structure, and cultural cohesion, exploring how shared stories shape individual identity and collective meaning. He examines how fragmented cultural narratives and social media algorithms risk creating a modern “Tower of Babel,” while emphasizing individual psychological and spiritual transformation as a response to societal evil. Other topics include beauty, relational contracts, the biological basis of meaning-seeking, and convergent validation as a means of distinguishing truth from subjective interpretation.
