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.

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.

1. JBP is reviving an interest in foundational myths and rituals. 2. He points out that the biological world has organized itself according to hierarchies. 3. He is pro-science. These are compatible with Tantra.

So would you say that Jordan Peterson is basically Tantra with the Pence Rule?

I'm just wondering how we should spend our limited resources: Promote Orthodox/Catholicism which is familiar but "eternalist" or promote unfamiliar Vajrayana as an antidote to atomization.

It seems unlikely Vajrayana, as such, can have mass appeal in the West, for lots of reasons. It’s possible some attitudes could be borrowed from it. Preferably without attribution :)
