It has been a while since we had a public intellectual with the command of both the culture moment and Reason as Peterson has. He personally, and probably most of his usual guests (not Jonathan obviously) are still 'bottom up' thinkers and "theologians", and he explicitly admits this. This fact places significant limits on his ability to discern that which can not be seen, and thus Faith (the 'end', telos), but his journey and competence is obviously is having real impact with a great many folks - particularly young men.
In his ten minute "Message to the Christian Churches" recorded a few days he prescribes that we "...stop being social justice warriors, and stop trying to save the bloody planet..."

"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."
