That’s been part of my take on him too. He seems to have a stage 5 understanding himself, which makes it hard for me to be sure

I argue Piaget is the wrong framework to apply to Peterson's mission. Engineering school lifts from Piaget stage 3 to stage 4. I find Kohlberg's stages of moral development more useful. Peterson is simultaneously suggesting paths from stages 3 to 4 and stages 5 to 6.

Specifically, Peterson's "rules for life" suggest a broad-scale movement from social-norm ethics to rule-based ethics (3 to 4), which is, at a higher level, justified by his brains+myth research suggesting a set of universal ethics (5 to 6). The latter is actually ballsier.

I argue that part of "the nihilism trap" is when you end up at Kohlberg Stage 5, incapable of moving beyond the "ethical relativism" suggested by social contract theory. If nothing seems objectively good, then how can you motivate yourself to achieve anything?
