Glad someone noted my tweet sometime back. :) This wasn’t as engaging as I’d hoped but I have every faith that they will do this again. Colleges and UniversitiesJonathan HaidtJordan Petersonliberalityregressive left
Bari Weiss chats with Jonathan Hait. I joke that NYU seems to have its own version of the morality police in Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia. “It’s like East Germany,” Mr. Haidt replies—with students, at least some of them, playing the part of the Stasi. I think that the ‘deplorables’ comment could well have changed the…

Here are two of the more sober, clear and nuanced analyses of the current socio-cultural-political shit-storm.

Since many academics are in the business of activism masquerading as inquiry, I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’d urge the more intellectually honest…

Having listened to some 100 hours of “rabbi” Jonathan Haidt I’ve come to this conclusion. (Yes, the usual scratched record names will be proffered along with the activist wannabes, but their time is now over, and long overdue at that — advocacy is not inquiry!).
