Jordan Peterson argues that harmlessness is not a virtue. 'A rabbit is not virtuous; it just can't do anything else. ' True virtue requires the capacity for danger—strength, aggression, power—brought under voluntary control. 'You should be a monster, an absolute monster, and then you should be disciplined.
