Combined with my "hyperbolic political spacetime hypothesis," my disagreement with him might stem from his extremely "right" reference frame, which distorts the vertical axis from my perspective and de facto makes him much more teleological than I tend to be.
But he is right in observing that the West is romantic; that even most of our atheists are driven by a need for higher meaning, and that the Western ideals are based on the sense of purpose once created by religion. (China is not romantic, for instance.)

Also, Peterson is centrist. Placing him to the far right just means that the classifyer is authoritarian far left.

He is certainly centrist based on the literal classification of our one dimensional political spectrum. But I was talking about why he is often considered "right," and I believe it has to do with how people intuit the spectrum, as I described in my linked blog post.
