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.

He's the hot new thing. I'm a fan, obviously.

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.

Man, I really went for it after that third glass of whiskey.

I feel ya, dscans. Haidt was great on a recent Waking Up episode.

Ummm... Does this mean that Jeff is a fan of Jordan Peterson

This should be fun if it happens.

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.

"Your persona doesn't shout intellectual"

what a fantastic burn

I'm on my bullshit again boys! Let's sort ourselves out!

The shit's about to go down! This promises to be the top dance battle of all time.

glda to see Burt Reynolds you still keep the thread alive

Zizek will defeat Lobsterman with the power of his body odor

I assumed this was bumped because he died.

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.
