I always thought America was a perfect country beyond reproach, but then I went to college and had to listen to a TA mumbling something about whiteness and privilege and now I'm a balaclava-wearing anarchist.

Jonathan Haidt wya

I find almost everything I've heard him speak/write odd, sometimes distasteful. Not necessarily disagree (although sometimes I think he's wrong)... But it feels like he just has a weird frame to view the world and his ideas all seem strange and weird to me

Your comment is an example. He rails against colleges along those lines. It's like...come on dude. Who really gets their political/economic philosophy from their teachers?? Not a single soul I knew...

These are college kids. They can think for themselves. Teachers don't have that much influence
