I’ve heard Peterson accuse feminists of disregarding what is true in the name of ideology on many occasions.
Sam Harris initially spent an hour arguing against Peterson’s redefinition of “truth” to include a “moral dimension”. They’ve clashed about it since, with no effect. Afaik, “the bible is true because it is useful” is central component of Peterson’s worldview.
To be fair, I believe Peterson has managed to honestly delude himself on this point and is not outright lying about his beliefs.
Nevertheless, when prompted to think of a “General Defense of Fail”, attempting to redefine the word “truth” in order to protect one’s ideology came to mind very quickly.
