      I think you have a rather low opinion of humans. Yes, sex motivates many things, but it’s not the only thing that motivates. I go to the gym to get in shape. Is that JUST to increase my chances to get laid? Or is it possible there are other more important motivations as well?

      I think there are tons of layers to it.

      I mean I’m sure there are people who have had little success in their relationships with women who recognize that getting themselves together will help that, but the idea that it’s just to get laid missed the point and message entirely. It’s more about getting a wife.

      You might want to question the motives of atheists who attack Peterson. Just sayin' -- maybe there's an agenda there.

      yes, its a gigantic atheist plot to overthrow, rob and enslave peterson fanboys for their apostacy from objective truth and modernism.

      Ironically, it’s objective truth and modernism that I think Peterson is selling.

          Doesn't this say that accurate, objective knowledge challenged the mythological worldview because it was wrong about the nature of the objective world? I don't see what I'm supposed to take issue with here.

          No. It says that that it did that but that that was bad (pathological) because objective knowledge is essentially a social construct conveyed in language (note scare quotes around 'objective') and the 'reality' of the mythic world and emotion (affective) was undervalued.

          When he says it "challenged the belief in the reality of the mythic world", doesn't that mean it challenged people's ability to believe that it is true? If by "this tendency" he means objectivity I agree with you but I don't agree that he thinks it's "essentially" a social

          Yes, it does. He is saying this is a bad thing. He wants people to see the reality of the mythic world and this is why he keeps talking in archetypes and bible stories.

          Honest question, and apologies if you’ve said it somewhere and I missed it, but do you disagree with him on the importance of recognizing the truth in the myths and archetypes? Just curious.

          Well very succinct:) lol. How come? It seems to me that there is a lot of questions answered if we perceive the mythic world as being more than just old stories. I think that’s actually the real reason he’s drawn such a crowd.

          I argued that here: https://areomagazine.com/2017/12/08/the-problem-with-truth-and-reason-in-a-post-truth-society/ … Also, my background is in the social power of religious myths. https://qmul.academia.edu/HelenPluckrose  It's not a reliable epistemology tho & we can have all that without claiming it to be true.
