I think he is attempting to do the same thing but fails and sides with eternalism

Yeah, he does seem to be an eternalist, although sort of vague about what flavor

Reformed Jungian Catholic, basically. Endorses an ontologically cleansed transcendental God to build convergence of purposes for enabling inner individual and social accountability.

Well, there’s an awful lot of seemingly-incompatible ideological systems combined in his presentations. What I want to understand is whether he attempts to reconcile them, or just uses different parts of them to view different aspects of reality, without attempting a synthesis?

I think he is a pragmatist, not a philosopher, and mostly busy with politics these days.

That seems right!

On a deeper level, Peterson may have a similar project as you: finding a sustainable mode of existence in the present age, but starting not from Buddhism but Catholicism, and with a greater focus on societal and relationship dynamics rather than the individual.

Oh! Yes, that should have been obvious; I feel stupid! The last part of Meaningness is supposed to do the social and interpersonal stuff. So far there’s mostly just the preliminary history, and that’s wildly incomplete, but the intention is announced…

Peterson thinks that he has found a solution for the interpersonal issues, that they are even more important than individual issues, and that a certain degree of eternalism is required for that. Also, he has a family and children, which influences his thinking about adulthood.

Does he have a clear statement of the proposed solution somewhere? I agree interpersonal is more important; that’s implied by my interactionism. Which is the basis for my critique of Jung (in https://buddhism-for-vampires.com/romancing-the-shadow … )
