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.

I picked that example at random, btw. I don't think making such a huge mistake is or could be helpful.

I don't remember this segment off the top of my head but context here is key. If they're talking about society then Peterson is correct. A society cannot function without a common narrative. The factual validity of the narrative doesnt really matter. In that sense it becomes true
-
No, it doesn't. But this is what I was telling you both he and his followers argue. And so do postmodernists when they argue for different ways of knowing based on cultural narratives. eg Where Native Americans originated.
-
Their genes and their myths tell different stories. Postmodernists have argued that the myth is true because truth is subjective, not objective. Peterson argues very similarly but adds survival to the mix.
-
Peterson would not argue that their genes aren't real. Have you seen him argue FOR biology? Have you seen him warn against "gender studies" and it's anti-science? I really do think you don't know much about him beyond a few interviews. The interviews are just a small piece.
-
He would argue that both things were true at the same time, thereby ignoring the rule of non-contradiction. Then he'd complain about postmodernists.
