I'm not a big fan of his so I'm not sure, I just remember him saying responsibility is a prerequisite to a meaningful life.

  I think in some sense I agree with that idea. I think most people actually want to work and be a part of their community. The problem with modern Libertarian types (and I think Peterson is one) is that it's this utter Little House on the Prairie fantasy that has no idea how to deal with the modern realities of capital, and how it can subvert your freedom more effectively than the government they seek to vilify. And I think most people sense that now intuitively even if they can't put that into words. I believe Marx called it alienation of labor, but of course he's been quite effectively vilified as well.
