Microaggresions - significant or not? Malcolm Gladwell and Jonathan Haidt discuss

Malcolm Gladwell and Jonathan Haidt discuss the cultural concern over microaggressions.

Civil discourse is in decline, with potentially dire results for American democracy.

On college campuses across America, visiting speakers are disinvited, or even shouted down, while professors, students, and administrators are afraid to talk openly, for fear that someone will take offense. Political discussion on social media and television has devolved into a wave of hyper-partisan noise. A generation of overprotective parents are reluctant to let their children play outside without supervision. How did we get here? And how can we change the way that we engage with one another?

Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt’s The Coddling of the American Mind sounds the depths of this generational crisis. Join us for a lively discussion with the authors, president of the non-profit Let Grow and founder of the Free-Range Kids movement Lenore Skenazy, and #1 New York Times bestseller Malcolm Gladwell on how we as citizens can engage with one another across the political spectrum.

Jonathan Haidt? Malcolm Gladwell? I ought to be thankful that there are YouTube channels, as like 92nd Street Y, which are devolving. That aforementioned phenomenon makes it a lot easier to winnow down where I, and maybe you, spend precious time exploring. So long 92nd Street Y, and thanks for all the fish. 🤭

As someone who clearly lacks empathy for those who suffer microagressions, I don't believe Mr. Haidt gets to redefine the term as a "faux pas" to fit into his worldview. What a sanctimonious three minutes
