That's actually pretty interesting as a sort of "literary analysis" approach to the magnum opus trope. I can't read the right side of the chart but I now want to know what he's talking about.
That's the thing, Peterson would generally be good if he were just throwing interesting and occasionally kooky perspectives about the world and society out there. It's actually a plus to have public intellectuals who approach social life from a totally different angle than the mainstream. It's the whole "cult leader" aspect of his phenomenon, and his cultivation of that aspect by insisting that he's offering profound truths about the proper way to live life, that are concerning.
