Many of these ‘’non-deities’’ are recurring characters in folk tales and fables. The fox for example reaper in many European folktales as a mischievous con artist, perfectly in line with the trickster architype.

How do we balance higher needs with realistic needs? That is maintain the balances of things such as beauty, community, intellect, spirituality with economic consumption, infrastructure, materialism, hedonism?

Marxists/communists seem to offer either sterile puritanism, decrying everything else as bourgeoisie, or unlimited individual freedom ending up with the same problems of capitalism. While capitalism rejects all higher needs and sees life as existing for nothing more then hedonism that should be exploited through utilitarian needs.

So, what is the solution?

>Modernism: Classical thought and art is dumb and outdated, empiricism, novelty and progress etc. is the way forward.
>Post-modernism: Hold on, that ‘’progress’’ ala the grand narrative, of yours seem kind of shady, and your unquestioning faith in empiricism and the rational can be quickly shoot down by the relativity of everything and all. How absurd XD
>Meta-modernism: Can we reconcile modernism and post-modernism? Let us resurrect romanticism, sincerity, hope and the potential for grand narratives and universal truths, without discarding what we have learnt from post-modernism.
How I understand meta-modernism is that it is a form of ‘’le radical centrist’’ pragmatist approach to art, politics and philosophy. A yearning for utopia, despite understanding its futile.

I could be wrong tho. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Peterson isn’t enough of a tautological pseud for OPs liking, if only he sprinkled some more purple prose into his writing then he would be on par with the e/lit/ists. And its common knowledge that this board is filled with communists waiting to be thrown out of the helicopters, OP being one of them.
