I agree. He’s right on many important things and what he’s wrong about doesn’t worry me.

Gulp! Why should I be worried? Yes, his biblical nonsense and retro stuff are silly but I don’t see a big danger there.

I will tag you into some of my conversations next time. They invariably start by saying Peterson does support objective truth and science and end with saying OK, he doesn't but actually narrative wisdom is worth more. Except I intend not to have any more of them

Ah right! Having not been is such convos, I missed the second part where narrative trumps objective truth. You know what I think about *that*.

I don't see how either tear something down to state that there is no objective truth...

You don't? Truth does not need to be objectively true. It can also be narrative wisdom. Therefore the objectivity of truth is denied. See also the conversation with Sam Harris in which he said this:pic.twitter.com/zddxguxpS4

Truth to him is pragmatic, not objective. It is what makes us thrive. So if believing something which is not factually true makes us survive, to Peterson, it becomes true.

Probably but whereas most people can say 'This isn't actually true but believing it is helpful,' Peterson will say it is true.

I think you are looking at it in a slightly more critical way than it needs to be. The idea of depth psychology (and maps of meaning) is not the objective truths of the world, but how we relate to those things. Those relationships have paths that can lead us to a good/bad places.
