? I don’t like Peterson or his conclusions. But I agree that the questions he is asking are important. I think that’s giving him more credit than you’re going to find from most in this thread.

Also, throwing my intelligence out there ?? OP asked for advice on writers who approach similiar themes as peterson etc. I gave him one and the reasons why. That should be the point of this thread.

Dostoyevski. That’s basically the point of his whole body of work, how to deal with the anxiety that erupts from an atheistic rationalization of the world. Peterson and his ilk commonly reference Dostoyevski as an influence, but if you read say, Crime And Punishment, you’ll see D would not have vibed w most of their conclusions.

Instead he really means to help the misguided fledgling intellectual type. "Hamlet’s” who are caught up in their heads way more than is good for them.
