Haidt is similarly compelling in other long-form interviews, plenty of which are hosted by individuals and organizations to which you would doubtlessly offer no objection.

But congratulations on missing the point anyhow.

I'm a total Jonathan Haidt fanboy.

In fact, this won the Dscans Essay of the Year for 2017: https://www.city-journal.org/html/age-o ... 15608.html

I highly recommend The Righteous Mind to everyone.

One of the things I like best about Haidt is that he will link to, and even praise, good critiques of his own work. This review about The Coddling of the American Mind (https://www.the-american-interest.com/2 ... ican-mind/), I have read several times. There's a line I've gotten hung up on. "Give people too much freedom, and soon they’ll come crawling back to their chains." I think the author is right.

I feel like this post changed directions like ten times.

Thats no good. Someone would need to pay for a stylist and a personal trainer for several months for Zizek to avoid a repeat of the Nixon Kennedy debate.

I think it's safe to say at this point that JP's fame went to his head, as he himself sort of predicted it would. He's very good at explaining resentment & humility to people, but get him talking about the post-modern left and he seems completely unaware of his own resentment and arrogance these days.
