Ok, I haven't read that, but this quote is terrible, and I see it everyday from pedantry, clearly expressed in that angle of Peterson criticism. It's shallow.

Actually, I am being uncharitable, my bad. The quote is not so bad at all, would agree with it. Was responding to the anti-myth zeitgeist/backlash, again apologies for my poor initial read of the quote.

Two last thoughts, I don't think anyone who's into Jung (or
@jordanbpeterson or whoever we're talking about would agree w/ "myths are just as valid an approach to the truth as science" so it's a strawman.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Meh, he may not be expressing that right, he's def problematically loose at times, and that's worth criticism. But he is a science dude not a science denier, least the stuff I've seen. He tries to augment, or tie the myths to evolutionary psych, big 5 etc.

He has a Darwinian notion of truth and would like the return of some metanarratives which he describes as 'the reality of the mythic world'. An affective reality superceding an objective one. Feelings and facts. He's consistent on this.

Well, maybe I just don't know his takes well enough (like him but not an ardent fan), but that's not anywhere anything near primary I'd take from him, but again I haven't listened or read Maps of Meaning or anything at that level.

Would be curious if Peterson would cosign what you just wrote there, that seems relevant.

Well, yes. If he doesn't, I'm criticising something which doesn't exist. He does tho. The mythic world, pragmatic notions of truth are consistent & explicit. This is at the root of the difference skeptics/rationalists have with him - epistemology, how we know what is true.

I think people get bogged down on Peterson. Yeah, he's off on some things. But others he isn't. Just like the primary topic here. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater

It very much depends what you see the baby to be and what you discern as the bathwater. This varies hugely. eg,pic.twitter.com/KuWrpogTX9
