Man, Haidt seems very interesting from a quick look at his work.

An hour well-spent.

Ugh. Liberty Fund.

Ugh. Liberty Fund.

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-outrage-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/2018/09/19/the-bulverizing-of-the-american-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.

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 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.
