There's a better version of that idea that's been around forever amongst the Indigenous peoples.

I tend to like that one better as it's more spiritual in nature and doesn't negate or diminish the humans involved in any way.

It's been misinterpreted and messed up by western culture.

I've no doubt that Peterson got his ideas from the I digenkus peoples of Canada, claimed them as his own, and repackaged what is common lore.

I'm sorry. The guy's a douchebag. The more you look into him, the more douchiness you find.
