Boy is Haidt right on the unsupervised play. I wouldn't trade that aspect of my childhood for anything. I was a warrior, head of state, solider, cop, spy, explorer, and many other things in adult-free land of play time- I sought position and sometimes led the pack but other times stepped aside to champion my friends to their successes. I sought to gain wealth through violence and learned that hitting hurts and so do bites. And so, where violence failed, I negotiated - sticker collections, baseball cards, and candy. I formed alliances that led to victory in street hockey, baseball, and nighttime hide & seek. I learned that being alone was an afternoon in the sun catching tadpoles, and in that, to cherish my own company. I was wild and happy.

OK, but that fits Donald Trump more than it fits any real student today that I've known. Kids in school today and pretty bright, and they know what is going on, and they see the corruption around them and they do not want it shoved down their throats. So because they are disgusted by the system, and in particular the right-wing, you want to say they cannot think, but really this is the right-wing taking pages out of Stalin's playbook, calling critics of the system mentally ill and sending them to gulags.

​@madcheeseknight - why do you call yourself that? It is a troll name. I am about as far left as one can be, but I firmly support the 2nd Amendment. If you are a student maybe you should question what you have been told and find some things out for yourself. I have no idea what your sign is or says, but imputing something towards "leftists" because of a sign you do not know who put up or what it really means is not very critical thinking. If you go back to the beginning of the conservative movement, which was really invented and funded by the very rich libertarians in order to remove government regulation from them so they can do what they want, they employed Stalin/Trotskyist strategies, and they admit as much. They have the money to find and develop people like Haidt and most of the others you see in the right-wing media, and vet the messages they send out in focus groups. They are revolutionaries dedicated to the overthrow of the Constitution, and they have found a way to wrap themselves in the flag and pretend to be more patriotic, god-fearing and moral , and that is where guys like Haidt and Jordan Peterson come from. You and your generation have been subjected to the most powerful and clever messaging put before hundreds of people before it gets to you. Why do you think that as time goes by and we get more and more conservative thanks to policies of cheating, like fake re-districting, or making elections all about money, or vilifying the other side ... it all comes from the right and it is because they have the richest supporters. It is a shame you are onboard with losing a country you don't understand because of lies that benefit the super-wealthy class in this country. There is so much about the Republicans that doesn't make sense, like Trump being such a great business man when most of what he has done has been to inherit money from his father and cheat people. You don't find it funny that he is not religious at all but he has all the right-wing evangelicals behind him, even as he has shown over and over to be immoral. If you are smart enough to do well in school you are smart enough to see the cracks in the logic they feeding you. Cheers!

Andre St-Laurent I attended an extremely liberal school, in the humanities, in a liberal corner of the states (Western Washington University). I read every Marxist thinker-aside from Marx himself-the professors assigned, professors and students were required to specify pronouns on day one or class, I advocated for they/them pronouns and non-gendered bathrooms to be used, I surrounded myself with every blue-haired, non-binary kid I could find, I was vegan... you know the drill. I’m 25 now. I have a useless education, but I do have the degree. I fell in love with a man in the military and now live in a military town, my next door neighbors have a 25 ft Trump flag flying in their front yard. My idols include Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Haidt, and I’m currently studying Dr Peterson’s Biblical lecture series. My entertainment includes Philip DeFranco, Steven Crowder, and most importantly, Joe Rogan. I am desperate for knowledge and the sharing of ideas, and hearing great thinkers process their thoughts is a favorite pastime of mine. All it took was time. I realized I was in a jail cell of groupthink at that university and got the hell out as soon as I realized it. I lost some friends along the day (were they really friends to begin with?) but I know I’m a much better person after transitioning through that. I understand the radical left’s thinking, and now understand a little more about the world than I did going into college. Perhaps that is what college is supposed to do, but they’ve lost the way to teach it. I learned *how* to think, only because I paid $30,000 for leftist dogma, and I taught myself a way out of it. I know you wrote your comment four score and seven years ago 😂 but I had to share that! People change-perhaps not all these wingnuts, but I did ☺️ I’m a much better person because of it

Nothing quite as painful as watching these students, many with an IQ in the 120s or 130s or even 140s, demonstrating a radically stunted capacity for rational thought. The secondary school teachers and college professors who produce this stunting should be defendants in a few aggressive class action lawsuits. They're doing more damage to the country than even the worst corporate banksters or polluters.

@@margochanning6868 Don't assume. They are plenty intelligent. That is not the issue. University entrance standards have in fact risen across most if not all Western countries. This is due to the competition for seats from foreign students ( largely Asian) whose tuition fees are exorbitantly higher . The administration needs + wants those foreign dollars so they can continue to fund an ever expanding administration, the foreign students are happy to pay it because competition for university seats in their own countries is far more fierce. So more and more seats go to foreign students and their $. This cycle has steadily caused university entrance requirements to rise for domestic students who need to compete for fewer and fewer domestic seats. So the entire student body on average is "smarter" to start with. At least book smarter.

@@ladypinkymoe7574 I think it is possible to still be on the left but not at all identify with or be supportive of the current mainstream left.

So now, if you aren't with them, it is as if you are centrist or right or far right (in their opinion) but in reality, you are still just left of centre (or wherever you were before). And after some shake up in a few years or a decade or whatever, when things are re-balanced, you'll be able to identify with the left once more. In the meantime, stay strong! Ps. I feel similarly. There is no way I can vote for Labour at the moment (I'm based in the UK) while they embrace identity politics and their leader "takes the knee" etc. It is madness and creating division and even racism where there was very little of those things beforehand.

I unfortunately took a gender study class, I could barely tolerate the 90 minutes of BS the LBGTQLMNOP professor would spout her during her rant. I am older than most students, so I am able to disagree. I remember walking out of one "session" and I heard a young man say, "I didn't know I did that." In response to lecture. He was confused. I wanted to tell him, it's because he doesn't do "that." And, "that" was making women feel objectified, the professor should be sued for making this young man feel shame of some other thing that she projected onto her student.

George Orwell: ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ Appendix **THE PRINCIPLES OF NEWSPEAK** Extract Newspeak was the official language of Oceania and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism. In the year 1984 there was not as yet anyone who used Newspeak as his sole means of communication, either in speech or writing. The leading articles in the Times were written in it, but this was a tour de force which could only be carried out by a specialist. It was expected that Newspeak would have finally superseded Oldspeak (or Standard English, as we should call it) by about the year 2050. Meanwhile it gained ground steadily, all Party members tending to use Newspeak words and grammatical constructions more and more in their everyday speech. The version in use in 1984, and embodied in the Ninth and Tenth Editions of the Newspeak Dictionary, was a provisional one, and contained many superfluous words and archaic formations which were due to be suppressed later. It is with the final, perfected version, as embodied in the Eleventh Edition of the Dictionary, that we are concerned here. The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought - that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc - should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever. To give a single example. The word free still existed in Newspeak, but it could only be used in such statements as ‘This dog is free from lice’ or ‘This field is free from weeds’. It could not be used in its old sense of ‘politically free’ or ‘intellectually free’ since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless. Quite apart from the suppression of definitely heretical words, reduction of vocabulary was regarded as an end in itself, and no word that could be dispensed with was allowed to survive. Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum. Remind you of Political Correctness?

I would say that most accurately would describe the process many liberal (and by that I mean the current status quo of neoliberals and conservatives) attempt to squash all ideologies outside of itself into as few catagories as possible. Communism and Nazism become the same thing in their mind. An instituted doublethink rather than newsspeak. I myself lean towards the ideology of Syndicalism. However because of political correctness doublethink that gets quashed in with Communism. Which as stated before gets quashed in with Nazism. Though I am not a Communist and especially not a Nazi. So while Political Correctness can stifle conversation, remember it's a tool of the status quo and right now the status quo is domination of the working class by those with money and prestige.

I was recently discussing the victim mentality vs institutional racism. The argument continually leveled at me was " you don't understand because you don't experience racism because you're white. You're privilege blinds you to examples of your privilege. " I would try to counter that by offering examples of African Americans with similar beliefs to me. The response I got was " those people are isolated examples and have bought into the white mentality." Essentially I can't use my own experiences as an argument because I'm white and I can't use minority experiences that support my position because those minority individuals have " bought into the white mentality."

In my elementary and high school, a small group of bullies held most of the students in a state of fear. There was no oversight to speak of and daily violence was the rule. I was a favorite target for their abuse. When my arm got broken by one of them, I quit high-school. I am not saying I never had any trouble outside of school, but the outside world at least offered me the possibility to choose my colleagues, and walk away permanently from my detractors. What is going on is most certainly exaggerated, and it amounts to bullying in turn, now we can add mobbing. Although I generally agree with the argument, perhaps this behavior is also a result of not enough oversight or protection. I also think the erosion of the family in the US has contributed, I am a case in point, my mother evicted me when I was 15. Parents who were perhaps themselves evicted too soon unwilling or ignorant of the need for boundary setting and moral guidance their children are now demanding violently from society. I think these kids are suffering from the sense of personal injustice... their lost childhood, the lack of tabu, identity trellis etc. But this sense of unfairness has been harnessed... co-opted for other agendas. I think the way this sense of abandonment is channeled and expressed will backfire sadly, and the root cause will not be addressed.

I like the idea of the "Daycare Generation". In the past when a couple had a child, the mother would typically stay at home and look after the child. Now, thanks to the lie fed to women by feminism, women are pressured to abandon the child to a state-vetted stranger (the same state that you wouldn't trust anything else with btw, so why would you trust them with the most precious thing in your life?). So now, instead of these children growing up developing a one-on-one relationship with the person that loves them the most in the world; they're given over to to a stranger who has to care to 12-15 other children, who are all vying for attention. So how do you get their attention? Have a tantrum. So this person has to deal with 15 other children, all of whom are having tantrums and she just wants them to stop; so she gives in and gives them what they want. So these children are taught at a very young age to just throw a tantrum and you'll get want you want. Which explains the current generation of University students.

+David Lawson I don't think it is entirely on the daycare system but rather on the culture of exaggerated self esteem that has been going on for decades, helicopter parents and soccer moms ensuring their kids got a prize no matter if they deserved it or not, effectivelly killing meritocracy in home and classrooms. Everybody deserves a prize so their feelings won't be hurt, that's the way adults have been spoiling children for a while, creating useless individuals who aren't fit for the real world outside their emotionally sheltered upbringing, who will throw a temper tantrum everytime they don't get what they want. +Jayne Eyre Yes, that's also a fair point, which in my opinion, is tied to what I mentioned before, plus lazy parenting, letting the internet being your unpaid babysitter and social media becoming the way these young individuals get attention and self validation from other people who are as spoiled as themselves and begin to grow into this echo chamber mentality of endless ego stroking, also empowered by the sense of exaggerated self esteem that parents and school systems have been embracing for a long time.

And I mean this in Heinz Kohut's ideas of narcissism as a symptom of trauma so bad daycare maybe part of it, poor parenting in general. When a child can not create an authentic sense of self they create a false self instead underneath the false self is a very fragile self.

I also had those freedoms growing up and it was amazing but I have misgivings about that also. 1 in 5 girls are molested in their childhood and 1 in 20 boys are. The numbers are actually believed to be higher than that. My brother was molested during those hours and hours of freedom and it has negatively effected his life permanently. The perpetrators are often reported as being friends of the family but I have noticed that "friends" of the family can be guiltily spoken code for "the people in the house down the street..." 1 in 5 girls are molested..... that means that roughly 1 in 5 of the daughters of the people who let their children run free daily are putting their children in harms way and I think that is irresponsible and reckless and stupid. 1 in 5 is no joke. Those are really high numbers. The risk is very real and very high and totally avoidable. I dont know what the answer is but I think nuance might be useful here. Fear based helicopter parenting is not the answer but neither is just letting kids roam freely prey to a whole list of predators out there looking for an opportunity. Sexual abuse is supposedly down in recent years-- you can bet SOME of that has to do with parents being more careful. Nuance is the key, not ideology from either side of the parenting debate, both sides religiously blinded by their judgments and pride of perspective.

victimsofcrime.org/media/reporting-on-child-sexual-abuse/child-sexual-abuse-statistics That seems to be where those stats come from, but I cannot find the actual study or how they define "sexual assault". That term is thrown around so arbitrarily these days they have almost lost all meaning. Every one seems to have a different take. It sounds like they are being molested or raped, but I can't tell because it is so vague. They might use the "1 in 4 women in college are sexually assaulted" definition of "sexual assault" which included "uncomfortable leering", "cat calls", and "attempted kissing". Not sexual assault IMO. The method is far more important than the conclusions. The vast majority(over 90%) of studies are later discredited and rejected. Just because it is in a journal does mean it is true or even accurate or honest. There is enormous pressure to get articles published in journals. There is much less pressure to provide accurate data.

Treating all kids like they're anti-fragile is as problematic as treating them like they're all fragile. But an unobstructed, free range childhood...absolutely. That's a god-damned human right.

Yeah man I think your right. All kids are different and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution though we all wish there was. But definitely, let them fend for themselves so that they gain some semblance of independence and free thought.

Great comments from both men. I teach some courses as an adjunct faculty at two Universities and although we don't have some of the problems they discuss I do see the fragility mentioned in students and the reluctance to engage a point of view. This is an enormous problem for our society.

Because economy's main concern is about making money, not giving it away. Heyyyoo! 😅 But naa you right, there is a massive need for redistribution of wealth concerning a disappearing middle class and crumbling infrastructure and things of that nature.

We have a serious problem in the levels of private debt, and nobody is talking about it. One financial crisis was not enough, so it seems. Meanwhile, the left are playing the identity politics game.

No, I do not agree with redistributing wealth. I oppose Marxism and socialism on my campus. Socialism has never worked for more than a brief period of time before cataclysmic failure. Just look at Brazil in 2004 vs now. Having a socialist leader has destroyed their economy, increased debt and unemployment, and generally caused problems.

I agree that personal debt is an issue, and I think that a decline in personal accountability is part of that, while insanely inflated medical costs and student loans are another. I cant speak to the rest, but I agree that Identity politics is absolutely not worthy of being the priority for anyone now, or possibly ever.

I recently had a discussion about leadership with a bunch of young women studying just that. We didn't agree, and she said "all women are smart", and I said "I've met some pretty stupid ones in my life....Eva Braun wasn't too smart either". I then left for the restroom. When I came back, the BARTENDER asked me to stay away from their table. They had asked the BARTENDER to get rid of me. Internet behaviour IRL. I told them quickly "You're old enough to drink, but but not old enough to listen to an opposing viewpoint, without calling in your "parents"......this behaviour wont get your far in life, my dear sisters and snowflakes!"

Yeah! It is the saddest situation ever. It is a transversal to all society. They gather in groups and they demand a safe place, like in a church, were no differences are allowed.They do not differ in terms of their right and left affiliation and/or believes. Confrontation is stimulated because instead of promoting and developing student's and professor's critical thinking, all they do is supplying arguments and narrowing the field of discussion. I do have questions I would like to place to Dr. Murray's theories. If I was a professor at Middlebury College I would have prepared the students to the discussion and lead a proficient debate. Unfortunately, professors are more and more kind of the tribe leaders - don't pretend you have no role in this despicable matter!
