![]() ![]() For a beautiful example, watch the following short lecture, The Rise of VICTIMHOOD Culture on Campus. And like myself, Haidt has been combatting the victim mentality. Jordan Peterson (another of my heroes) is championing with similar courage, but because of Haidt’s highly personable manner and mellifluous voice, he provokes less resistance than Peterson. This political domination has made the sciences less scientific and curtailed Freedom of Speech, thereby constraining development of the open-minded, rational thinking that is supposed to be the hallmark of higher education. His Heterodox Academy (I recommend you subscribe) has been spearheading the pushback against the far-left political domination of our universities, particularly of the social sciences. We finished writing the manuscript for The Coddling of the American Mind in March of 2018, and the book was published that September. I love him because he is a true peacemaker, using good scientific psychology and philosophical thinking to help people of opposing political and religious views understand and appreciate one another. Professor Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist specializing in ethics, is author of the brilliant books, The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom, and The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion. ![]()
