About Jonathan:
Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist at New York University’s Stern School of Business. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 and taught for 16 years in the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia. Haidt's research focuses on exploring the intuitive foundations of morality and how it varies across cultures, including the cultures of progressives, conservatives, and libertarians. His aim is to help people understand, live, and work with each other despite their moral differences. Haidt has co-founded several organizations and collaborations that apply moral and social psychology to achieve this goal, including Heterodox Academy, The Constructive Dialogue Institute, and EthicalSystems.org.
Haidt is the author of The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom, as well as The New York Times bestsellers The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion and The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas are Setting Up a Generation for Failure (co-authored with Greg Lukianoff). He has written more than 100 academic articles, which have been cited nearly 100,000 times. In 2019, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was chosen by Prospect magazine as one of the world’s “Top 50 Thinkers.” Haidt has given four TED talks and since 2018, he has been studying the impact of social media on the decline of teen mental health and the rise of political dysfunction. His latest book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, was published by Penguin Press on March 26, 2024.

Yes, but... There are predatory bullies who will spot a vulnerability in a person, perhaps the result of being a victim of violence or a physical disability or classic bigotries, and then demand that person routinely subject themselves to insults, challenges and ridicule that people without that characteristic do not experience. Then, when the victim protests, they claim the victim is just weak and needs to "toughen up." The supposed call to resilience is for too many people just a way to seek pornographic, sadistic entertainment. The bullies get off on seeing people who've already been hurt and hurt and hurt be hurt even more. The most important thing to remember is that survivors get to establish healthy boundaries and we do not need to obey anyone. We do get to say we don't want to talk about IT. We do get to say when IT is nobody else's damn business.
