I've listened to both conversations between Peterson and Harris. I also think you have it backwards, which probably explains your perceptions on the topic. Utility is a word we use to narrowly describe the individually-mediated element of overall adaptive capacity.

And this is literally the crux of the Harris / Peterson epistemological debate. Which of those perspectives supersedes the other with respect to the Newtonian / Darwinian models of "truth"? Given that concepts are merely part of evolution, the answer seems rather clear to me.

I was gonna point to this podcast. They got completely hung up because they couldn’t agree on the definition of “truth”. Harris could’ve been more generous but Peterson is stuck in concrete.
