Jonathan Haidt - safetyism

I listened to the Haidt lecture at Columbia University - And he talks about “ mollycoddling” and “safteyism” As a bad thing - And that Universities should be a place of free speech. It is very difficult to have free speech if there is hate speech - against a particular group - or not being able to feel “safe” about sharing your ideas . I wonder how he would feel if he was “bullied” and ostracised because of the colour of his skin , or what he believed ? “Walking on eggshells” is ok - maybe spend more time thinking of what you are going to say if it’s going to offend someone else - is not a bad thing ! He talks about the increase of anxiety and depression as a result of social media (a massive campus) - social media is a place where there is free speech - and as a result - increased depression and anxiety - through bullying and feeling of inadequacy - specifically by females . He seems to be contradicting himself (in a very articulate way!! He makes good Points of people being more resilient as a result of adversity And your body being more tolerant to peanuts if exposed to “bumyum” and children being more resilient if exposed to danger people become less resilient to things that they are not exposed to I do believe that I would rather be in an environment where I can feel “safe” about sharing my ideas - not based on what I look like or believe - but based on the validity of the idea. I agree - you need to feel challenged - your ideologies need to be challenged - and it’s not healthy to be in a space where you do not have to agree with everything - BUT you need to feel safe going into an adversarial situation Just saying We had an outstanding “Yarning circle” forum where we talked about the importance of the creation of a “safe space” in the workplace …. The stories of 3 amazingly articulate humans - Felipe Abade, Celia Sandhya Daniels and Samantha Webster followed by a Thinktank . Feel free to listen    • Yarning Circle Forum hosted by Martin Stark   Would love your feedback Ps - I loved the last 2 minute snippet of his talk -
