Peterson also bases most of his psychology on the works of Carl Jung, but Jung wrote extensively about Sophie, The Holy Spirit, the feminine side of God, also known a Sophia. Although the early Catholic (universal) Christians tried to remove as much of Sophia as they could from the Bible, there are still references to her in the Old Testament. In this way God is androgynous, says Blum. Much of this is counter to Peterson's thought who is being very selective in making his points.
Also, Peterson, and many of his followers, promote capitalism as some great ideal, and yet capitalism is the very thing that has destroyed the traditionalism which so they long for.
But Dr. Peterson has made one profound oversight. It is precisely this: capitalism and classical liberalism have destroyed myth. The technological revolution, and the transformation of communal, local bonds of people with shared values into rent-seekers, wage-searchers and otherwise atomized, separate individuals united only by the search for profit, has destroyed the original foundations of human wellbeing. Economics has completely seized and determined culture. Peterson’s notion that economic success equates to playing a good game, or otherwise participating in the good, ultimately leads to a world defined by Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Trump.
