@Jazz King...I can't believe this guy is actually serious. As if feelings are the most important thing. Coddle U is how you make a generation of whining and useless individuals. Social Justice is just a form a Cultural Marxism
But his Strengthen U. is an almost spot on description of my public alma mater, with the one caveat that professors and staff really *want* you to succeed. But by that they want you to get an A through honest hard work. There are introductory classes I took where 33% of the students got an F. They don't like it. They don't want you to fail. But it's up to you to succeed. I kinda like that perspective. I actually did read up on my exam *after* the exams to fill in gaps in my knowledge. A "B" that you worked for means a whole lot more than a free "A". Because B is still above average. (C tends to be the average.) So it's amazing to me, that a libertarian is basically describing a public university in a socialist-in-denial country. (But it's less Marx and more Bismarck.)
Talks like this give me hope - it was fantastic. But not too much hope. I know Haidt is swimming upstream, along with all the other intellectuals promoting 'Strength U.' I predict that universities will continue to get worse before they get better.
Absolutely brilliant talk, we're witnessing the death of our universities and in turn the death of truth and soon rationality, talks like this are the all to few counter points to the ever growing censorship and insanity of the SJWs. I think these talks are more valuable than most of us can really appreciate right now.
I pick "strengthen U." I have long speculated that it might be productive for me to experiment with having a life coach (to add a different perspective to my thinking), but then I just imagined myself disagreeing with whatever they said. Actually, you have given me good advice.The "I don't know who you are" factor can be disturbing, as you know a lot about me. Nonetheless, I choose "strengthen U."
What weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow humans. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.
Privileged white cis male denying my lived experience. Why can't he just listen and believe. He must be forced to apologize and then resign. Want my therapy puppy NOW!
I see the SJW argument for safe space and trigger warnings in the classroom like this: Analogy: You start working out, and you get a personal trainer. And you find that every time you lift any weights, you feel this "strain," and you end up feeling sore almost every day after you lift these weights. You get upset at the personal trainer, and you let him know that you'd like a warning every time you're about to feel "strained" or might feel "sore" the next day. And you tell your personal trainer that "he's holding you back, he's harming you, he keeps making you feel strain and soreness." ---- It seems that the SJWs are essentially coming to college, but asking not to be educated. Just as the trainee is coming to the gym, but asking not to be trained. ---- This is literally how I see these students. They swear that they are being damaged, but they don't realize that they are damaging themselves, they are asking to be coddled to a point where they can no longer progress and can regress.
~19:50 -- So true. On the Day of Silence this year, my college had a booth set up in the academic building to "raise awareness" of bullying against "LGBTQIA+" folks. I tried to get them to give a coherent explanation of gender, and of course they say it's based on feelings (notice, they don't actually give a definition, they just give a vague description, like defining a piano is "a musical instrument"). I politely and articulately explained why their ideas are incoherent and harmful to those it's purportedly helping. Their response: "You seem like the kind of person who sees the world in black and white." That's the best these folks can do, because they literally define reality by their emotions. It's a sad world when the institutions of education are proudly placing feelings above knowledge.
The current leftist anti-intellectualism going on most campuses is destroying intelligence and maturity. These students want to be third graders forever, the world should just adjust to what they want it to be, or they might get "offended".
The privilege stuff pisses me off the most. Almost everyone has baggage, traumas, and other shit they've been through. Ranking people by privilege is as bad as the same stereotypes that regressives are so offended by. You can't just look at a person and size up their experiences. Most of my family came from an abused background, though they had that "white thin privilege" and had to overcome many obstacles to get through college and have careers. None of them play the victim or try to get away with childish behavior simply because. But a lot of the younger people my age don't have that type of mentality or character.
Just because you're white doesn't necessarily make you priveledged, like your parents for example who started off a lot worse than other people. However you cannot deny the rampant ignorance that young white kids have towards socioeconomic topics. This ignorance often leads to strong conservative values in adulthood that prevent our society to help stop the sort of discrimination that predominantly minorities and empoverished white people have to undergo in their early life.
@@jeremyschnitzel92 what does "privileged" mean? Does it mean that you can do whatever you want and buy your way out of it? Does it mean you are entitled to make videos of how great you are and how the underdogs are beneath you? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm gonna have to Google that definition to make an argument. But I feel extremely privileged to be in my shoes. Like Joseph said (while I was thinking of how I'd cross the road in wipe out if the floor was hot lava and did it) "You give me courage mom." So I feel privileged to have this platform of opportunity to lead by example. To show people how bad you can be beat up, knocked around, and locked up under oppressive "entitled" jerks and still have a smile on your face and be the best you can in such a horrible fucked up situation. And still have love and kindness to spread. So praise God for privileged arrogant assholes, the Words university of scholarly writings of Coddling and Strengthening psychology to beat the enemy Satan's tactics, the maker of Google and an inquisitive mind, and wild native roots.
@@julieshrout9835 Don’t you just when they only speak in generalities? If people wasted some time giving specific examples of assertions they hold, we’d be able to move the conversation forward.
This vid should be heavily promoted in the USA. I'm not from that country, but the cancer growing at your place will soon infect my place too. It'd be greatly appreciated if you guys could just shut down Coddling Uni before to many Americans and people of the World get infantilized (and well... just damaged, this kind of education is worse than lack of any education).
This should be in every high school this video in every college every university fantastically done hand to us a big favor sue the Board of Education thank you
If anyone is interested in a more detailed explanation of the philosophy of John Stuart Mill, I am creating a series of short clips on my channel that breaks his ideas down into a palatable format.
Let me preface - great talk, and definitely on the side of Strengthen U. I would still like to ask, is truth the most important value always. If you think someone is ugly but choose to be polite and don't express that idea, or perhaps even fib about it. Is that a bad thing. Just for the sake of truth? I'm curious how people view this.
Coddle University brings considerable peer pressure, does it not? , on the Howard Roarks of the student body. So the conclusion I draw is that No. 6, if he wants to strengthen himself by adversity and encountering opposition, should enroll, not in Strengthen University but in The Village, an affiliate of Coddle U. (School mascot: the penny-farthing bicycle.) Better yet, why not enroll in Darwinian University, where both coddling and strengthening occur because both philosophies have their adherents among the faculty, and students must take courses from each?
I agree mostly with this. The one caveat I would apply is that there is evidence from neuroscience that a small % of the population has a genetically overactive stress system, which makes their emotional reactions more intense and physically painful. It is known as "sensory processing sensitivity" - see Boterberg et al 2016. These people should not be coddled either, but they do require more guidance and feedback when learning social skills such as conflict and assertion, rather than being thrown into the crucible as it were. They usually WANT to be tough and don't want protecting at all, but their physiology makes it extremely difficult to do so. This means their reactions when trying to assert themselves can be disproportionate and lead to a "meek / exploding" cycle. Finding a way to incorporate that into the "strengthen" system would be an excellent addition.
Certainly an interesting phenomenon worth learning about, but I think the main problem is that people are using their sensitivity (whether innate or learned) to silence people with opinions different from theirs, which produces the exact opposite of the ideal university of tradition where the mind is forced to expand to deal with new and challenging ideas and to defend or evolve a previously established worldview. Sensitivity itself is no sin - it's the censorship that now comes packaged with it. Kind of like the difference between wanting to punch someone and actually doing it.
Anyone know if they have a good list of books from this video? I would really like to read on some of this ancient wisdom. If one exists I'd like a book that is more composite and that explores several of the great ancient people.
This is a brilliant presentation, unfortunately the amount of views this has received is symptomatic of how far our society has regressed. I'm actually in disbelief this guy can get through the front door at any university. I truly hope a lot more young people get a chance to view this, my generation has bequeathed to you a broken society.
Think of the human brain as a forum developed for the purpose of the body to voice it's needs and desires so that actions may be taken to tend to those needs.
"stare rape" - perhaps this woman has no siblings. I have just about rolled my eyes out of my head (as my parents must have done) from the amount of time I have listened to one of my children complain about the other (usually during a long car trip) "Muuuum, she's staaaaring at me". Even though they must know by now my answer to this complaint. Which is the obvious one......
Can someone please address the coddling of the military mind and how dangerous it is to tell all military veterans that they (probably) have PTSD? Post Traumatic Growth was not mentioned once during the hundreds of suicide briefs I had to attend. I'd love to hear Professor Haidt's opinion on that.
Meng Tzu knew how to flip the pancake. The concept of "four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three in the end of the day" containing all left-right, up-down heiracy possibilities in one personage, defines the default reaction to circumstances ability by relative timing stage of life... If the end of the day is inevitable, then so is the reaction to dominant conditions, of social and climatic stability, politics of nuclear annihilation or socioeconomic status. The general context of Human Culture appears to be quite fragile in the context of very inappropriate Politics. But we know about it. If we were to react to threats in kind, it would be all over now. Some Math-Physics and its required sense of proportion, to understand the surroundings and Psychology of all interactions, is reccomended. Risky to have a sense of humour, social media has no equivalent.
"stare rape" is such a derision and downplaying real rape. I am a survivor of multiple rapes and it really pisses me off how spoilt madams on university lump really serious violence with trifle. And using the word trigger and trauma inflationary and drawing a very victimized and wimpy picture of trauma survivors. They are not helping them with this they turn it into ridicule. It really enrage s me as a person with PTSD because of rape. To lump this brutal act of violence where someone is burgle into your body and torturing your body with "bohooo someone stares at me and i feel uncomfortable." it really appalls me.
Pompous ass who makes light of the human experience. Also, tired of folks erroneously referring to the political left versus right and the role of government therein.
Have you read his books? They are backed by a lot of science. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy's success and Moral Foundation Theory have a lot of evidence behind them, which back up his ideas. Also, he is on the left. Is he strawmanning himself? Or is he speaking about a more specific group?
He isn't even talking about the left, he's reffering to those people who'll get offended by anything and even get offended by other people, he's talking about sjws And yes he does acknowledge that they tend to be left wing, but he isn't smearing them with the left
Just came from one of the largest 4 year public universities in America. It's very true for most because of the push for inclusivity in an egalitarian society. StrengthenU is progressively becoming CoddleU without realizing what is being lost.
I'm in college now. But I'm going for engineering, so don't encounter these issues really at all. But I can tell you that the emails I get from the school advertise these safe spaces on campus, and advertise events about rape culture and discussing female abuse and LBGT issues. The bulletin boards are always full of events about these things too. I'd bet that if I were in the liberal arts I would see this more.
Excellent idea excellent excellent excellent sir sue the Board of Education our kids are anti-fragile making them weak like archaeologist do is horrible sue the Board of Education millions of parents will be behind you
Actually many of the Coddle University trained professional victims and attention whores can have financially prosperous life if they are good in their field of expertise.
Brilliant. This should be required viewing for all college students and faculty.
Just sent it to friends with kids graduating from high school...hope it helps.

I kinda like that perspective. I actually did read up on my exam *after* the exams to fill in gaps in my knowledge. A "B" that you worked for means a whole lot more than a free "A". Because B is still above average. (C tends to be the average.)
So it's amazing to me, that a libertarian is basically describing a public university in a socialist-in-denial country. (But it's less Marx and more Bismarck.)
It's moving in that direction. I just watched for an assignment and I couldn't be more pleased
This is so terrific and timely, thanks Jonathan.
Once again, Haidt summarizes the libertarian and authoritarian dichotomy brilliantly with wit and humor. Challenge me.... PLEASE!
This is probably some of the most meaningful work a person could be doing in this day and age!
Talks like this give me hope - it was fantastic. But not too much hope. I know Haidt is swimming upstream, along with all the other intellectuals promoting 'Strength U.' I predict that universities will continue to get worse before they get better.
31:00 he is breaking character here. A real SJW wouldn't ask people to rise; that is exclusionary to the "differently abled".
Absolutely brilliant talk, we're witnessing the death of our universities and in turn the death of truth and soon rationality, talks like this are the all to few counter points to the ever growing censorship and insanity of the SJWs. I think these talks are more valuable than most of us can really appreciate right now.
This just became one of my favorite videos on the internet.
This is the best thing I’ve seen in YEARS.
I am starting to really enjoy Haidt, he is refreshing and non polarizing!
BRILLIANT.
This should be a required presentation for every high school student in the nation.
A (or rather two) brilliant presentations of the gaping holes in the rhetoric of the perpetually offended.
Where do I apply for Strengthen U. ?? All I can find are coddle U. and Party U.
It's called the classifieds.
@Josh Spellman - Go back in time fella...sadly this is your only option at this point....OR Hungary ;)

Forget Plato! Give me Play Dough!
+cristop5 You want your therapy puppy ok. Here is a pit bull. Lol
Therapy puppy? But I like kittens, you're oppressing me.
As long as they're not white puppies I'm ok with that.
Then the therapy becomes stroking pussies.
I see the SJW argument for safe space and trigger warnings in the classroom like this:
Analogy: You start working out, and you get a personal trainer. And you find that every time you lift any weights, you feel this "strain," and you end up feeling sore almost every day after you lift these weights.

It seems that the SJWs are essentially coming to college, but asking not to be educated. Just as the trainee is coming to the gym, but asking not to be trained.
----
This is literally how I see these students. They swear that they are being damaged, but they don't realize that they are damaging themselves, they are asking to be coddled to a point where they can no longer progress and can regress.
This sounded hyperbolic 3 years ago, now it looks prophetic. I'm concerned what will happen if other prophecies within come to pass.

I had no idea Professor Haidt was so embittered by the current university culture. This is great stuff.
The current leftist anti-intellectualism going on most campuses is destroying intelligence and maturity. These students want to be third graders forever, the world should just adjust to what they want it to be, or they might get "offended".
Wonder how many students were triggered by this lecture...
if you feel offended then you were attacked. such is the cancer of our time
Are these guys related? They all look alike...
are you a twinophobe or just triggered by twins?
They're both the same person, it's all just a presentation by one guy called Jonathan Haidt
[*Triggering intensifies*]
It's just a coincidence.
Where's the safe space!?! I'm so triggered I need a puppy to cuddle with RIGHT NOW! Maybe blow some bubbles. HELP!!!
This talk deserves the "Electric Soldier Porygon" Award!
The privilege stuff pisses me off the most. Almost everyone has baggage, traumas, and other shit they've been through.

Thank you Jonathan thank you

Mansplaining. I'm suing him. Contribute to my crown funding so I can.
+Dave Bergmann "Crown" funding. Nice. :)
Is it me or did Haidt grow a very masculine face?
Dial 2 for Security! This man is dangerous!
Is that how you were taught?
This was awesome.

Triggering
Trigger warning: you might have to think during this talk. Please stand by with buckets of sand large enough for your head to fit in
or just bury your heads in your asses haah
27:15 "... a diverse faculty: 2/3 on the left...5 or 10% conservatives..." Why not 1/2 on the left?
Because academics have always leaned left. The extreme is only today.
Frankly I would not be interested in either university.
this is great
The audio is horrible
But don't let me bully and offend or defend, cuz it pisses those "perfect, good, and entitled" people off
Brilliant.
60fps, love it
This was good, but the crowd stinks. Show the man some love people.
None of this will get through to the fascist mind, it's too late for them, focus on the next generation.
CRIPPLES? Doesn't he mean "differently abled?"
provocative. interesting.
Coddle U. sounds like Steiner and Waldorf. LOL
Indivisible-dual beings
Jonathan Haidt da fuckin man!
Great
I wish he had steel-manned Coddle U. It's a weak-man position.
Pompous ass who makes light of the human experience. Also, tired of folks erroneously referring to the political left versus right and the role of government therein.
I'm guessing the monotone coddle mantra, was meant to be remiscent of the borg? Given the collectivist nature of social justice.
tldw: a really boring strawman for the left by someone that isn't Jordan Peterson
Have you read his books? They are backed by a lot of science. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy's success and Moral Foundation Theory have a lot of evidence behind them, which back up his ideas.
Also, he is on the left. Is he strawmanning himself? Or is he speaking about a more specific group?
He isn't even talking about the left, he's reffering to those people who'll get offended by anything and even get offended by other people, he's talking about sjws
And yes he does acknowledge that they tend to be left wing, but he isn't smearing them with the left
I have trouble believing this is truly the widespread problem the Internet would have us believe.

The bulletin boards are always full of events about these things too.
I'd bet that if I were in the liberal arts I would see this more.
Its already spilled out of the university and into our corporations
BAD THEATER ARTS ARE MY TRIGGER -_-!!
Safe spaces = kindergarten
This is a joke right
Glad he mentions overgeneralizing and (false) dichotomous thinking... Odd he doesn't apply those concepts to this speech
Who is he overgeneralising, in fact the people he is talking about are real people that exist
Excellent idea excellent excellent excellent sir sue the Board of Education our kids are anti-fragile making them weak like archaeologist do is horrible sue the Board of Education millions of parents will be behind you
Coddle University sounds like a bricks and mortar Tumblr.
Actually many of the Coddle University trained professional victims and attention whores can have financially prosperous life if they are good in their field of expertise.
