    I will have to find a short segment of one of Peterson's lectures that can illustrate this. My understanding and ability to explain it is in infancy.

    I may have talked myself in a circle in that post with all the IDK's in it.

    On one hand, our actual daily activities are monumentally different than the vast majority of humans who lived before us.
    On the other hand, the sheer longevity of thousand-year-old stories, games, and other human activities certainly seems to indicate that there is a common thread which ties all these disparate (loving that word today, I guess) cultures and peoples.

    So sure, there seem to be elements of humanity that resonate throughout ages. Does that mean that we can just take any old "wisdom" from thousands of years ago and directly apply it to our lives today? No, I don't think so. I think the parts that stick with us from those stories is much more akin to the dramatic power of, say, Beethoven's 5th Symphony. There are no words, but the music bears this gravitas. How each individual interacts with that music is going to vary, but there is also a vast amount of overlap in all of that.
