That is incorrect. He believes in empirical fact as much as anyone while also believing there are truths that are not tangible this unable to be examined scientifically. In those snippets from his book, he's saying the scientific method provides facts without truth for being.

Yes it is. That is Peterson's take. He's said it an innumerable amount of times. You're building a straw man out of selective quotes.

It's not the take anyone is disagreeing with tho. We disagree that 'truth' is defined by assistance in survival rather than what is objectively true whether we believe it or not, whether it helps or not.
