LEFT WING LOONS Title: THE REVENGE OF THE CODDLED: AN INTERVIEW WITH JONATHAN HAIDT I recently had a chance to speak with Dr. Jonathan Haidt, a psychologist and professor of business ethics at New York University-Stern School of Business, whose book, The Righteous Mind, discusses the emotional justification of modern-day ethical beliefs and political divides. Recently, he wrote a landmark article for The Atlantic with Greg Lukianoff, The Coddling of the American Mind, about the culture of oversensitivity on university campuses. This coddling culture, a term coined by Haidt and Lukianoff, has been criticized by conservativesas would be expectedbut also liberals, including President Obama. According to Haidt, this is causing a quietly growing rift: between the liberal Left and the illiberal Left. So who supports this coddling? We need a reorganization of priorities, according to Haidt. He likes the framework of diversity, but instead of racial and gender diversity, he says we need to begin emphasizing viewpoint diversity. Fear reigns on campuses now. (See the recent essay on Vox entitled, Im a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me.) Haidt relates his reticence to speak openly about the coddled culture: So how do we move forward, out of this vindictive attack culture? Think young. Poster Comment: Interview continues at link.
