Podcasts about lukianoff

It's not just the MAGA or the Woke crowd. According to Greg Lukianoff, CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), free speech in America is under existential threat from all political sides. While he's long criticized campus cancel culture from the left, he now opposes Trump's coercive targeting of big law firms, media companies, and universities. The Stanford Law trained Lukianoff argues that Trump's actions—removing security clearances, barring lawyers from federal buildings, and threatening media mergers—violate constitutional principles. Five Key Takeaways * Bipartisan Authoritarianism: Lukianoff fights free speech threats from both sides—campus cancel culture from the left that he's criticized for years, and now Trump's government coercion of law firms, media, and universities from the right.* Trump's Legal Warfare: The administration is removing security clearances from lawyers who opposed Trump, barring them from federal buildings (including courthouses), and threatening media companies' business deals—unprecedented attacks on legal and press freedom.* Institutional Cowardice: Major law firms like Paul Weiss capitulated quickly, offering millions in pro bono services to Trump, while others like Covington & Burling stood firm. Media responses have been mixed, with some caving under pressure.* Free Speech is Fragile: Lukianoff argues free speech isn't humanity's default state—it requires constant defense and can easily revert to authoritarianism when not actively protected by institutions and individuals.* Technology Accelerates Crisis: Social media and AI are speeding up existing problems of polarization and institutional decay, making the current free speech crisis more acute and unpredictable than previous eras.Greg Lukianoff is an attorney, New York Times best-selling author, and the President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). He is the author of Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate, Freedom From Speech, and FIRE's Guide to Free Speech on Campus. He co-authored The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure with Jonathan Haidt. Most recently Greg co-authored The Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All—But There Is a Solution with Rikki Schlott. Greg is also an Executive Producer of Can We Take a Joke? (2015), a feature-length documentary that explores the collision between comedy, censorship, and outrage culture, both on and off campus, and of Mighty Ira: A Civil Liberties Story (2020), an award-winning feature-length film about the life and career of former ACLU Executive Director Ira Glasser.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

“With this Executive Order, the war on women's sports is over.” - Donald Trump, 45th and 47th President of the United States.What must it have felt like for all of those feminists on the Left who have spent the better part of a decade insisting Trump was an enemy to women - a rapist, a sexual harasser, an assaulter — to see so many young girls encircling him as he helped protect their future with the swipe of his pen?What they should be asking themselves is how it ever came to this. How did we raise a generation to believe such falsehoods about themselves or to feel the need to be something other than who they are? Or to lie about the biological differences between men and women or to teach them never to speak up when they know something is wrong.How did it arrive with so many millions of people too afraid to stand up for them? How did we get to 2024 with the Left handing over the cornerstone of their movement to Trump?Look no further than The Coddling of the American Mind as written in the book by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, which has now been turned into a movie:Most people on the Left recognize there is a problem, but they won't agree with so many of us that Trump and his tough love are the way out of it, probably not even Lukianoff and Haidt.But the time for niceties is over. We can't worry about whose feelings might be hurt or who might be offended. No. This is the time to save America and its young from a dominant contagion that has overtaken nearly every corner of American life.It isn't just the denial of science and reality. It's that so many have become so afraid of just words that we can do nothing except blow past them and try to salvage whatever is left.We've arrived all the way on the opposite end of where the Greatest Generation was when they were sent to war to save the world from Hitler. How did we get from Patton and MacArthur and Eisenhower to a generation who believe that words have the power to destroy them? Just words? Imagine George Patton arriving in modern-day America. What would he make of the nation's young people?Or MacArthur. The guy who said, “It is fatal to enter a war without the will to win it.” And “You are remembered for the rules you break.” And “You don't win wars by dying for your country. You win wars by making the other son of a b***h die for his.”How did we get from that to this?I don't know what makes Donald Trump so tough and resilient. But I do know that whatever he has, we could use a lot more of it to help us un-coddle the American mind not a moment too soon. This is a public episode.

Free speech is under attack on America's college campuses. 2023 was already set to be the worst year for de-platforming – speakers being canceled or shut down because of their views – even before October 7 unleashed waves of antisemitic protests that worked to silence anyone attempting to support the Jewish state. Absent serious reform that protects all voices in our academic institutions, this school year will blow last year out of the water. What can schools do to protect free speech on campus? How are students taking matters into their own hands by rejecting self-censorship? And what are the best and worst schools for freedom of speech? Greg Lukianoff is an attorney, New York Times best-selling author, and the President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). He is a regular author on free speech issues and was executive producer of the documentaries Can We Take a Joke? (2015) and Mighty Ira: A Civil Liberties Story (2020). Lukianoff earned his undergraduate degree from American University and his law degree from Stanford.Read the transcript here. Read FIRE's 2025 College Free Speech Rankings here.

In a recent post, I said that part of opposing cancel culture is to rigorously define it. Greg Lukianoff, president of FIRE, took up the challenge. His definition, first mentioned in his book Cancelling Of The American Mind, is: Cancel Culture is the uptick, beginning around 2014 and accelerating in 2017 and after, of campaigns to get people fired, disinvited, deplatformed, or otherwise punished for speech that is — or would be — protected by First Amendment standards, and the climate of fear and conformity that has resulted from this uptick. When I talk about wanting to “rigorously define it”, I don't just mean the kind of definition you would put in a dictionary. Consider the debate around the definition of “woman”. It's perfectly fine for a dictionary to say “you know, female person, opposite of male”. But the debaters want something you can use to adjudicate edge cases. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/lukianoff-and-defining-cancel-culture 

Principer och värderingar kan stå i konflikt med viljan att förstå. Lyra Ekström Lindbäck funderar över avsiktslöst tänkande i ljuset av tre personer: Hannah Arendt, Adolf Eichmann och Sokrates. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Den 12 december 1961 dömdes nazisten Adolf Eichmann till döden. Det var en väntad, rentav given, dom. Men rättegången hade ändå varit rörig. Eichmann hade svårt att minnas vissa saker, som viktiga datum i krigsutvecklingen.Vad han däremot mindes kristallklart var sin egen karriär: de exakta omständigheterna kring varje framsteg. Han hade varit i Slovenien, men kom inte ihåg på vilket uppdrag. Han mindes bara att han hade fått bowla med landets inrikesminister.I polisförhören förklarade han noggrant varför det inte hade varit hans fel att han aldrig nått en högre befordran. Han skröt med sin felfria yrkesutövning inför mannen som frågade ut honom: en tysk jude och förintelseöverlevare.Eichmann var, enligt filosofen Hannah Arendt som bevakade rättegången, inte dum. Inte heller var han ond, i bemärkelsen driven av en diabolisk anda. ”Förutom en extraordinär omsorgsfullhet vad gällde hans personliga avancemang”, skrev hon, ”så hade han inga motiv över huvud taget.”Eichmann var ideologisk antisemit och visste mycket väl att han skickade människor i döden. Men han reflekterade inte så mycket över det. Han koncentrerade sig på att vara en felfri byråkrat. Kan vi förstå att en människa kan agera så, utan att drivas av ett brinnande hat?Ett större mysterium, tycker jag, är Arendts egen brist på känslomotiv. Hon var själv tysk judinna. Hon hade arbetat för en sionistisk organisation, internerats i koncentrationsläger och osannolikt nog lyckats fly. Att hon överlevde Förintelsen var en lycklig slump. Att hon förlorade vänner och släktingar behöver knappast nämnas.Det hade varit så rimligt om hon hade drivits av hämndbegär. Om hon hade idealiserat den unga staten Israel och fallit in i kören som beskrev Eichmann som en djävul. Men hon hade ingen sådan agenda. Hon ville bara förstå.Detta motiv blev svårt för hennes samtid att svälja. När hennes rapporter från rättegången publicerades utsattes hon för dödshot. Hon anklagades för att vara antisemit: för att ha beskrivit de judiska organisationernas avgörande roll för massmorden och för att ha fokuserat på Eichmanns personlighet istället för att bara förklara honom omänsklig.Påbudet om blind fördömelse är en begriplig reaktion på fruktansvärda händelser. Men det finns en motsättning mellan att fördöma och förstå. Det menar den judiska filosofen Judith Butler. Efter Hamas terrordåd den 7 oktober 2023 insisterade Butler på att se händelsen i den historiska kontexten av israeliskt övervåld mot det palestinska folket. Kravet på fördömelse, menade hen, innebär ”en vägran att förstå, i rädsla för att kunskap bara kan relativisera och underminera vår bedömningsförmåga.”Butler blev hatad i sociala medier. Samma öde drabbade den rysk-judiska tänkaren Masha Gessen. Efter att hen hade utsetts till vinnare av Hannah Arendt-priset skrev Gessen en artikel som kritiserade hur den tyska minneskulturen tystar samtalet om övervåld i Gaza.”Det är oerhört svårt för människor att förstå att någon kan ha varit ens fiendes fiende men ändå inte en välvillig kraft. Ett offer men ändå en förövare. Eller vice versa”, reflekterade hen. I artikeln liknades situationen i Gaza vid ett ghetto. Stiftelsen som delade ut priset ville ställa in ceremonin. De tyckte att Gessen hade relativiserat Förintelsen.Jag undrar om Hannah Arendt själv hade kunnat vinna Hannah Arendt-priset under de premisserna.Men ändå. Är det inte farligt att tänka som Arendt gjorde, utan en tydlig agenda? Ska man inte hålla fast vid sina värderingar före allt annat? Riskerar man inte att bli som Eichmann annars, en samvetslös kugge i ett nazistiskt maskineri?Faktum är att Eichmann hade ett samvete. Han höll fast vid sina principer. De bestod i att utföra sitt jobb väl, lyda lagen, försörja sin familj och försvara sitt land. Han hade blivit övertygad nazist av karriäristiska skäl och förblev det av rådande samvetsskäl. Som Arendt skriver: ”Ondskan hade i Tredje riket förlorat den karaktär som gör den igenkännlig för de flesta människor: karaktären av frestelse.”Eichmann var, enligt ett halvdussin rättspsykiatriker, helt normal. Som de flesta andra sade han emot sig själv en del och pratade gärna i klyschor. Och som de flesta andra hade han inga problem med att utföra sina arbetsuppgifter utan att ifrågasätta dem. Snarare tvärtom.Problemet var bara att han inte tänkte i onödan.Men vad innebär det att tänka i onödan?Det är att tänka utmanande, obekväma tankar. Det låter väl bra, tycker de flesta. Men i praktiken vill många förbjuda sådana tankar. Enligt socialpsykologen Jonathan Haidt har motståndet mot så kallade ”kränkande” idéer vuxit på universiteten. Studenter vill slippa utsättas för sådant som kan klassas som rasism, sexism eller antisemitism.Haidt kallar den här inställningen för ”ett förkastande av arvet från Sokrates”. Sokrates beskrev sig själv som en bromsfluga på det atenska folkets feta hästkropp. ”Han ansåg det vara sitt jobb att sticka, störa, ifrågasätta och därigenom provocera atenarna till att tänka igenom sina nuvarande uppfattningar och förändra dem som de inte kunde försvara.”Sokrates ifrågasatte alla. Statsmän, retoriker, poeter och sofister. Han ville se om deras resonemang gick ihop. Det värsta som kan hända en människa, enligt Sokrates, är ”att hon hamnar i självmotsägelse och upphör att vara en enhetlig person”. Så formulerar den svenska filosofen Charlotta Weigelt det i sin rika bok ”Sokrates. Filosofens skepnader”.Att vara i samklang med sig själv är inget givet faktum, påpekar Weigelt. Människan är till sitt väsen splittrad. Det är därför vi kan tänka på våra egna tankar. Det är svårt att inse vad man redan tänker, men ännu svårare att förstå vad man inte tänker. Det är ofta det sista man vill tänka på.När Sokrates ställdes inför rätta försökte han begripa vad han egentligen åtalades för. Han erkände sig skyldig till att aldrig ha brytt sig om ”det som de flesta andra har brytt sig om, nämligen affärer, försörjning, militära uppdrag, politiska positioner och andra befattningar”. Han såg att hans motiv var helt obegripliga för vanligt folk. Varför hade han gått runt och stört alla sådär?Det är mycket svårare, insåg Arendt, att förstå vad som drev Sokrates än vad som drev Eichmann. Filosofen var exceptionell. Den nazistiska byråkraten, liksom rådet i Aten som dömde Sokrates till döden, var banala, helt normala. De fokuserade på sina egna liv och arbetsuppgifter. De glömde, eller orkade inte, tänka på något annat.Tänkande är ingen garanti för godhet. Tänkandet är rörligt, opålitligt och kommer alltid att väcka misstänksamhet. Som Arendt skrev om Sokrates: ”Eftersom han inte hade någonting att lära ut, ingen sanning att dela ut, anklagades han för att aldrig avslöja sin egen uppfattning.”Skillnaden mellan att sakna agenda för att man tänker, och att utföra någon annans agenda för att man inte tänker, kan tyckas vara hårfin. Men bara den senare kan se ett folkmord som en möjlighet för att bygga en fin karriär.Lyra Ekström Lindbäckförfattare, kritiker och filosofBibliografiArendt, Hannah.

In this thought-provoking episode of Future U., we sit down with Greg Lukianoff, president and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and co-author of the bestselling book "The Coddling of the American Mind," as well as the new book, "The Canceling of the American Mind." Lukianoff shares his insights on the state of free speech on college campuses and examines the rise of cancel culture, the debate over the limits of free expression, and the potential double standards in how universities approach these issues. He argues that certain campus trends, such as "safetyism" and the suppression of viewpoint diversity, may be harming student mental health and resilience. He emphasizes the importance of open inquiry, intellectual diversity, and the ability to challenge prevailing orthodoxies as essential components of a thriving university education.

Author of the Canceling of the American Mind Greg Lukianoff explains the current state of free speech in the United States. Greg Lukianoff, president of the @TheFIREorg discusses how free speech has evolved – from its induction into the United States Constitution, to its prevalence on modern American college campuses. But with cancel culture more relevant than ever, is free speech at risk? When, if ever, should speech be controlled? When are speech moderators in the wrong? And when should people in power choose not to speak at all? Lukianoff explains all this and more, in this interview with Freethink's Editor-in-chief, Robert Chapman-Smith. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Greg Lukianoff: Greg Lukianoff is an attorney, New York Times best-selling author, and the President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).

Generation Z is now entering the workforce, and free speech levels have never been so low in America. Coincidence? We think not. Legions of Gen Zers are bringing the totalitarian ideas they were spoon-fed in university — CRT, DEI, and other Neo-Marxist ideas — into the American mainstream. As a result, we are at a peak cancel culture moment. How did this happen, who is to blame, and most importantly, how do we close Pandora's box? Our guests — authors of a new book on cancel culture — suggest we cannot, but we can move forward and begin to right some of these wrongs. It starts with raising kids who aren't cancelers, keeping corporations out of the cult of cancellation, fixing K-12, and reforming higher education.Greg Lukianoff is the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and one of the country's most passionate defenders of free expression. Together with Rikki Schlott, he is the author of The Canceling of the American Mind. He has written on free speech issues in the nation's top newspapers, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, and was executive producer of the documentaries Can We Take a Joke? and Mighty Ira. Lukianoff earned his undergraduate degree from American University and his law degree from Stanford.Rikki Schlott is a New York City-based journalist and political commentator. She is a research fellow at FIRE, host of the Lost Debate podcast, a columnist at the New York Post, and a regular contributor to numerous publications and television programs. Her commentary focuses on free speech, campus culture, civil liberties, and youth issues from a Generation Z perspective.Download the transcript here.Subscribe to the WTH substack here.Check out Greg and Rikki's book here.

Many have expressed alarm over the rapid rise of cancel culture. The Canceling of the American Mind is the first book to codify it and survey its effects. Following the best‐​selling The Coddling of the American Mind, this new book looks at the topic with hard data and research on what cancel culture is and how it works, along with hundreds of new examples showing the left and the right both working to silence their enemies.Coauthor Greg Lukianoff will examine the often‐​undiscussed issues related to cancel culture and how its unprecedented scale will likely be studied years from now in the same way we study the Red Scare or the Alien and Sedition Acts. But rather than a moral panic, he argues that we should consider it a dysfunctional part of how Americans battle for power, status, and dominance. Cancel culture is just one symptom of a much larger problem: the use of cheap rhetorical tactics to “win” arguments without actually winning arguments. After all, why bother refuting your opponents when you can just take away their platform or career?The good news that The Canceling of the American Mind provides is that we can beat back this threat to liberal values and democracy through better citizenship. Lukianoff offers concrete steps toward reclaiming a culture of free speech that goes beyond mere legal protections. In so doing, we can all show intellectual humility and promote the essential American principles of individuality, resilience, and open mindedness.Please join us for a fascinating discussion of cancel culture, its impact on our society and politics, and what the free speech response should be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cancel culture—the term and the practice—has left its mark on American culture, business, academia and society at all levels over the past few years. Was it inevitable? Is it permanent? Or is it, as authors Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott argue, a dysfunctional part of how Americans battle for power, status and dominance? They say it is just a symptom of a much larger problem: the use of cheap rhetorical tactics to "win" arguments without actually winning arguments. Drawing on data and research on the phenomenon of cancel culture and how it works, along with many examples of how both the left and the right use it to silence their enemies, Lukianoff and Schlott have concrete steps to offer that they say can reclaim a free speech culture in every realm. Lukianoff and Schlott, authors of the bestselling Coddling of the American Mind, return with their new book The Canceling of the American Mind. Join us to hear their description of cancel culture and their prescription for curing it.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit davidlat.substack.comWhen I wrote an op-ed for the Boston Globe titled Big Law's Cancel Culture, I got an earful from folks who complained about the use of the term “cancel culture” (which was picked by the Globe's copy editors, not by me). There are many folks who argue the “cancel culture” doesn't exist or, if it does, it's greatly exaggerated.While I have concerns about the term “cancel culture”—it carries baggage, causing some people to stop listening—I still do use it. My approach to language is more descriptive than prescriptive, so if a term or phrase is useful, it's generally okay by me. When you say “cancel culture,” people know what you're talking about, and I don't know of an alternative term that refers to exactly the same phenomenon.Cancel-culture denial tends to be more common on the left. I wonder, then, whether some progressives might be more willing to acknowledge it now that some on the left are arguably getting “canceled” for expressing pro-Hamas, pro-Palestine, or anti-Israel views. (Please note my use of the term “arguably”; I'm not here to debate the merits of these controversies, which are very fact-specific, and I condemn anything that crosses the line into threats, harassment, and other speech not protected by the First Amendment.)Indeed, cancellation comes from all sides—a major theme of The Canceling of the American Mind, an excellent new book by Greg Lukianoff, president and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), and Rikki Schlott, a columnist for the New York Post. Lukianoff is left of center and Schlott is right of center, but they agree that cancel culture is real—as they demonstrate in their book, before offering possible responses.If you're concerned about free speech, cancel culture, and related issues, then you will enjoy my interview of Greg Lukianoff—one of the most eloquent, steadfast defenders of the First Amendment and free-speech values, for more than 20 years. Thanks to Greg for speaking with me, for writing this book, and for defending the freedom of speech and thought in our great nation.Show Notes:* Greg Lukianoff bio, The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression* The Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All―But There Is a Solution, by Greg Lukianoff and Rikki Schlott* Sick of Cancel Culture?

Get your tickets to meet Peter Boghossian + Michael Shellenberger: https://skeptic.com/event Cancel Culture is a new phenomenon, and The Canceling of the American Mind is the first book to codify it and survey its effects. From the team that brought you the bestselling Coddling of the American Mind comes hard data and research on what cancel culture is and how it works, along with hundreds of new examples showing the left and the right both working to silence their enemies. The Canceling of the American Mind will change how you view cancel culture. Rather than a moral panic, we should consider it a dysfunctional part of how Americans battle for power, status, and dominance. Cancel culture is just one symptom of a much larger problem: the use of cheap rhetorical tactics to “win” arguments without actually winning arguments. After all, why bother refuting your opponents when you can just take away their platform or career? Shermer, Lukianoff and Schlott discuss: • the definition of Cancel Culture • The Henny Youngman Principle: “Compared to what?” • Cancel Culture as imagined moral panic • Cancel Culture on the political Left/Right and on social media • free speech law vs. norms • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) • sensitivity training • bias hotlines and silencing of speech • pluralistic ignorance • The 4 Great Untruths • Jean Twenge's theory of generational change • solutions to Cancel Culture. Greg Lukianoff is the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and one of the country's most passionate defenders of free expression. His law degree is from Stanford. He worked for the ACLU of Northern California, the Organization for Aid to Refugees, and the EnvironMentors Project before joining FIRE in 2001. Rikki Schlott is a New York City-based journalist and political commentator. She is a research fellow at FIRE, host of the Lost Debate podcast, a columnist at the New York Post, and a regular contributor to numerous publications and television programs. Her commentary focuses on free speech, campus culture, civil liberties, and youth issues from a Generation Z perspective.

In THE CANCELING OF THE AMERICAN MIND: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust, Destroys Institutions, and Threatens Us All-But There is a Solution (October 10, 2023/$29.99 hardcover), Greg Lukianoff (co-author of the bestseller The Coddling of the American Mind) and Rikki Schlott offer the first accurate survey of the phenomenon of Cancel Culture since it exploded onto the scene in 2014. Cancel culture is a destructive force that has upended lives, ruined careers, undermined companies, hindered research, destroyed trust in institutions, and plunged us into an ever-worsening culture war. What at first seemed like just another bit of campus craziness has spread far beyond universities. It now infects journalism, the arts, nonprofits, K-12 education, and even medicine. More and more, modern discourse focuses on a moralistic evaluation of the speaker rather than on the merit and validity of their ideas. "If you can show someone to be 'bad' by any measure, you don't have to listen to them anymore," Lukianoff and Schlott note. "Today, basically anything can be used to dismiss someone as 'bad' depending on your political orientation-from dubbing them 'conservative' to accusing them of being 'woke.'" The authors note that over the last several decades, the institutions tasked with teaching us how to argue productively have failed to do so-most notably, American higher education. At the same time, the rise of social media has made every institution, every individual, and every idea subject to the scrutiny of millions of eyes-and vulnerable to being torn down. "Personal attacks, dismissive clichés, and an ever-growing body of taboos abound in virtual discourse," the authors write. "These destructive methods of argumentation caught on like wildfire for a simple reason: they help people assert moral superiority and 'win' arguments by simply shutting down the other side..Why bother meaningfully refuting one's opponents when canceling them is an easier option? Just take away their platform or career. Nobody else will dare to tread the same ground once you make an example of them." The good news is that there are concrete solutions. "We don't have to argue like this," the authors note. "We can choose to discuss problems in a solutions-oriented way. We can declare a truce with our political opponents and set some ground rules that might help us survive-or even thrive-as a nation. And we can start to appreciate the benefits of living in a country as ideologically diverse as our own."

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Greg Lukianoff, President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, joins Federalist Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss cancel culture as a symptom of an ailing society and explain the free speech solutions that have the potential to restore the nation's marketplace of ideas to its former glory.

Chapter 1 What's Coddling of the American Mind about"The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure" is a non-fiction book written by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt. It explores the rising trends of fragility, emotional vulnerability, and intolerance on college campuses in the United States. The book argues that well-intentioned efforts to protect students from discomfort and harm have unintentionally contributed to a culture of "safetyism," where individuals are shielded from experiences that may challenge their beliefs or cause discomfort. Lukianoff and Haidt discuss three "great untruths" that they believe contribute to this trend: the untruth of fragility (the idea that students are emotionally and psychologically fragile), the untruth of emotional reasoning (the idea that feelings should be prioritized over facts), and the untruth of binary thinking (the idea that issues can be reduced to simple black-and-white dichotomies). By analyzing various case studies and research findings, the authors suggest that these trends not only limit intellectual growth and critical thinking but also hinder young adults' ability to cope with the complexities of the real world. They argue for the importance of fostering resilience, intellectual diversity, and open dialogue as essential components of education. "The Coddling of the American Mind" sparked significant debate and gained attention for its critique of certain aspects of campus culture and its exploration of the potential consequences of overprotecting students.Chapter 2 Why is The Coddling of the American Mind A Good BookAccording to reddit comments on The Coddling of the American Mind, "The Coddling of the American Mind" by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt is widely regarded as a good book for several reasons: 1. Thought-provoking analysis: The book offers a thoughtful analysis of the current cultural climate on college campuses and in society at large. It delves into the concept of "safetyism," which refers to the culture of protecting individuals from any form of discomfort or offense, and explores its implications and potential negative consequences. 2. Insights into psychological well-being: The authors draw on psychological research and provide insights into the factors that contribute to mental health issues among young people. They explore concepts such as resilience, the importance of facing challenges, and the potential harm caused by overprotection. 3. Balanced perspective: Rather than presenting a one-sided argument, the authors strive to present a balanced view of the issues, considering both the benefits and drawbacks of various viewpoints. They encourage readers to engage with differing opinions and challenge their own beliefs, fostering critical thinking. 4. Empirical evidence: Throughout the book, Lukianoff and Haidt support their arguments with empirical evidence, drawing on research studies and data from various fields. This evidence-based approach adds credibility to their claims and encourages readers to base their understanding on solid factual foundations. 5. Practical suggestions: The book goes beyond analysis and offers practical suggestions for addressing the problems it highlights. It provides guidance on how to foster a more open and intellectually diverse environment on college...

Dr Alexandra Lukianoff had a promising start in the healthcare field as a Nurse Corps officer in the Navy. After leaving active duty, she was hired by DoD to the be the Patient Care Coordinator for the Division of Vascular Surgery at NMC Balboa in San Diego. It was during this time that she decided to become a surgeon, and so the long path began. During her time as a surgical resident at UCONN, she was determined to pursue a path to surgery. Her interests vacillated between general surgery and plastic surgery. She ultimately decided to go into trauma and critical care, but was able to do extra training and research in plastic surgery. During her chief year of surgery she had the life changing experience of breaking her back in a car accident. It took multiple operations and 10 months to get fully back on her feet, and back into surgical training. She was accepted into the trauma and critical care fellowship of her choice, and steamed forwards. Unfortunately she herniated two cervical discs during a lap chole, and for a time lost function and feeling in her dominant hand. She managed to complete her general surgery residency and decided to take the following year, after even more surgery and recovery time, to step away and to rethink her future. It was at this time that serendipity stepped in once again, and she became the Local Medical Director for a very busy wound care center in Connecticut. Over the next 3 years she became a physician mentor, and then a regional medical director offering education and training, as well as mentorship, and coaching to hundreds of physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses over the following years. Over the last year she has decided to work towards establishing a wellness practice in Franklin, TN. Over the years she has seen a great many patients and loved ones struggle with day to day health, self image, and weight loss with very few options available, and very little support in the area. She recently opened the doors to Taproot Total Wellness. She is starting a small individual practice, and is establishing a Wellness Network in the area to bring like minded physicians and businesses together. She has also just started a blog called ‘What is Wellness?' In this she is pulling together leaders from all different industries and walks of life to gain their perspectives on what wellness is to them, and how they implement it into their person and professional relationships.

Tonight we discuss/debate "The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure" and explore how we can do our part as fathers to make a real difference in society. Website: https://www.thecoddling.com/ This book by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff has gained a lot of attention in recent years. The description of the book off the website is as follows: "Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. How did this happen? First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: What doesn't kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being and ancient wisdom from many cultures. Embracing these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—interferes with young people's social, emotional, and intellectual development. It makes it harder for them to become autonomous adults who are able to navigate the bumpy road of life. Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to promote the spread of these untruths. They explore changes in childhood such as the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised, child-directed play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. They examine changes on campus, including the corporatization of universities and the emergence of new ideas about identity and justice. They situate the conflicts on campus within the context of America's rapidly rising political polarization and dysfunction. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines."

Prominent First Amendment attorney Greg Lukianoff, a New York Times best-selling author and the President and CEO of The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (previously called the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), joins Julia on this episode for a wide-ranging discussion on free speech. In this discussion, Lukianoff explains what free speech is, some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding free speech, and the importance of fostering a free speech culture. He also covers his work on college campuses and why free speech has worsened since 2015. The conversation also covers FIRE's expanded mission in the workplace, why journalism is the worst industry for free speech, cancel culture, and free speech on social media. Lukianoff is the author of Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate, Freedom From Speech, and FIRE's Guide to Free Speech on Campus. Most recently, he co-authored The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure with Jonathan Haidt. He's working on his next book Cancelling of the American Mind with his co-author Rikki Schlott.

These days it can seem like everyone takes offence to any and everything - especially on social media! Even if you post about your preference about salads, you'll have the "garden salad" crowd waging a comment war against the "no salad but Caesar!" crowd. It can seem like our culture is moving more and more towards emotional fragility on even the most trivial of issues - and so it is no surprise to see the rise of cancel culture in our days. However, are we actually as fragile as many of our cultural pundits seem to think? In this episode, we consider some insightful observations from the book by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, "The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure". We'll consider some of their observations about our cultural moment, especially in regards to the culture within institutions of higher education, and then seek to apply a Biblical worldview to these issues to glean God's wisdom on them. This will probably be the start of a series of episodes where we continue to explore the three Great Untruths that Lukianoff and Haidt explore in their book. I think many will find it fascinating information, and I pray that we all will find some Biblical wisdom to navigate these issues today. ----------------- Please visit theotivity.com for more content.

There is no organization that's done more to fight for freedom of speech on American campuses over the past 20 years than FIRE, The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. If you care deeply about the First Amendment and a robust culture of free speech, FIRE is the kind of organization you hope will go out of business.  Unfortunately, as our friend Andrew Sullivan has perfectly put it, we all live on campus now.  As the culture of campus has become the culture of the country—one in which ideological conformity is enforced by mobs that wield the weapons of shame and stigma—it should not come as a surprise that 62% of Americans say they hold views they are afraid to share in public. All of which is why FIRE is radically expanding its scope and its ambition. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is now The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. And the organization has announced a goal of $75 million in order to pick up the flag the ACLU has put down by becoming the premier civil liberties organization in America. Today: a conversation with the president and CEO of FIRE, Greg Lukianoff. Lukianoff is also the author of “Unlearning Liberty” and the co-author, with Jonathan Haidt, of “The Coddling of the American Mind.”  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tribalism is a major problem in our society today. If we're honest, tribalism is a major problem in Christianity today. If I'm really honest, I have to admit that tribalism is a major problem in me today. Do you feel it too? Are you tempted to blow your ideological, theological, or political enemies out of the water when they say something ignorant or obviously wrong? Are you tempted to lump people into a group, label them, and stereotype them? As our society has increasingly become polarized on issues from the environment to immigrants to sexuality to wearing masks we must resist the temptation to get sucked into tribal thinking. In the end, we are the Church with a commission to reach outsiders with God's love. How can we do that if we circle the wagons, or worse, cast stones?

Is it imaginable that freedom of speech and freedom of religion could be suppressed where we live at some time in our future? History would indicate so. How do we prepare ourselves and our families for such a contingency? What curriculum might best prepare us for persecution, even martyrdom? How do we cultivate necessary virtues without sparking burdensome fears? Listen in as Janice Campbell and Andrew Pudewa explore this challenging subject. Guest biography Andrew Pudewa is the director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) and a father of seven. Traveling and speaking around the world, he addresses issues related to teaching, writing, thinking, spelling, and music with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor. Although he is a graduate of the Talent Education Institute in Japan and holds a Certificate of Child Brain Development from the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia, PA, his best endorsement is from a young Alaskan boy who called him “the funny man with the wonderful words.” He and his wonderful, heroic wife, Robin, have homeschooled their seven children and are now proud grandparents of fourteen, making their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Host biography Janice Campbell, a lifelong reader and writer, loves to introduce students to great books and beautiful writing. She holds an English degree from Mary Baldwin College, and is the graduated homeschool mom of four sons.

The debate over free speech on college and university campuses has become a dominant issue facing higher education. Reports on the implementation of university speech codes and trigger warning policies, the establishment of free-speech zones and safe spaces, and protests over the views expressed by faculty or invited speakers have ignited fierce controversy from both the right and the left.rnrnUnsurprisingly, both students and faculty report they fear speaking honestly or with those they disagree. How did we get here? Do these issues point to a larger societal problem? Greg Lukianoff, President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), thinks so.rnrnIn his latest book, The Coddling of the American Mind, he and co-author Jonathan Haidt argue that the new problems on campus have their origins in three "terrible" ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: What doesn't kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people.rnrnJoin us in-person at the City Club as Lukianoff discusses how a culture of "safetyism" interferes with young people's social, emotional, and intellectual development, and strains our country's social fabric.

In Episode 28 of Season 2, Drew and Mick pick back up on the theme of the necessity of a diversity of dialogue partners in order to live a well-rounded faith. Are we in relationship with the poor? The marginalized? With people who think differently than we do on issues of politics, economics, and/or social issues? Being intentional to form those connections is as critical as it has ever been for the body of Christ. Connect with us at ideologypc@gmail.com // Like what you found here?

Jacki talks with Greg Lukianoff, co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas are Setting Up a Generation for Failure, about why the younger generation is fragile, motivated by fear, and easily manipulated by false narratives. Then, David Holt, President of Consumer Energy Alliance, returns to the show to review “Heat or Eat: Tough Choices for Americans as Winter Energy Bills Will Cost at Least 13.6 Billion More.” - - - - - Jacki recommends you check out the Domestic Producers Energy Alliance (DEPA) new ad campaign asking why President Biden is begging OPEC to come to our rescue when American producers are more than capable – if only the government would end its war on fossil fuels. Depausa.org  - - - - - Also, we talk “Blown Away: The People vs. Wind Power” starring our friend, Chuck DeVore at Texas Public Policy Foundation and airing on FOX News. - - - - - Then, are “green” investments really saving the planet? Insider Tariq Fancy, who used to head up BlackRock's sustainable investing, suggests ESG finance can actually make climate issues worse, that we cannot point to evidence that green investing is improving climate outcomes, and that ESG narratives “mislead the public.” ESG funds have huge fees and are arguably better for Wall Street and polluters than the planet.

Welcome to the Educational Renaissance podcast, where we promote a rebirth of ancient wisdom for the modern era. We seek to inspire educators by fusing the best of modern research with the insights of the great philosophers of education. Join us in the great conversation and share with a friend or colleague to keep the renaissance spreading. In today's episode, Kolby takes wisdom from a recent book he read, The Coddling of the American Mind, by Lukianoff and Haidt, and challenges us as parents and educations on how to overcome the three great untruths of our society today: what doesn't kill you, makes you weaker, always trust your feelings, and life is a battle of us versus them. Kolby finds passages in the Bible that strengthen the argument that we need to train our children to be challenged in order to become resilient. Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music

Government schools are not only dumbing us down; they're hyping us up, creating a new breed of emotion-driven anti-patriot that melts at the mention of truth. Enter the era of the snowflake.  In their brilliant book The Coddling of the American Mind, Lukianoff and Haidt explain the “Great Untruths” being taught in American schools, modern myths that leave students choosing feelings instead of logic, conformity instead of innovation—being triggered instead of being transformed.  You can be part of the solution. The next generation needs us: it's time to wake up, stand up, and speak up.  Be sure check out the tremendous work we're doing across San Diego County at AwakenAcademySD.com and cvcu.us.

Are we influenced by the company we keep? Do we absorb ideologies, lifestyles, beliefs, and behaviors through the process of repeated exposure to specific constructs? Join me for this week's podcast as we unpack classical conditioning, conspicuous consumption, and the “coddling of the American mind.” In their insightful book by the same title, Lukianoff and Haidt assess the collective decline of civic discourse that has resulted in absolute mayhem in colleges around the nation. We've lost the collective ability to be sharpened or challenged by a thought that differs from our own, to agree to disagree. Instead, we make provisions for “safe space” bubbles that perpetuate the “childified adult” formula. But humans do not become mature, thoughtful, respectful, engaged, critically-thinking citizens by lying in a fetal position with our fingers in our ears. Baby-proofing the culture has led only to the rise of immaturity, of offense, of ideo-ophobia. How did we get here? And how do we get free? Join me for on Spotify or iTunes for this week's Communication Architect podcast as we track the deleterious cultural implications of what Postman once called “the din of dangerous nonsense.” #bethechange #standup #speakup #thinkcritically #liberty #mindsetmatters #classicalconditioning #nosheeple

In "The Coddling of the American Mind" Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt discuss the new culture of safety that has developed on campuses around the country, and argue that children and students need challenges and stress and even suffering in their life to develop properly. If we grant their premise, how do we decide how much suffering to introduce? And how do we convince people to accept more suffering into their life? How do we determine the right level of suffering?

On The Gist, guest host John McWhorter considers campus safe spaces.  In the past few years, college campuses have been shifting away from havens for free speech to safe spaces that bar divisive speakers from campus. But is this the right move, or are we damaging the growth of college students by creating these spaces rather than offering intellectual challenges. Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt explore this in their new book The Coddling of the American Mind. Lukianoff joins us on the Gist to discuss.  In the Spiel, are the new models of protest a useful continuation of the civil rights movement? Learn more about your ad choices.

Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the past few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen?First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: (1) what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker, (2) always trust your feelings, and (3) life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of “safetyism”—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to prosper in a free society.Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They place the conflicts on campus in the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood, including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the past decade.

“This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.”  — Thomas Jefferson, upon founding the University of Virginia.A new vernacular has emerged on college campuses over the past several years — safe spaces, “microaggressions,” triggers warnings and so on. While conservatives may find these terms easy to mock, and many dismiss them as the grievances of a few spoiled children, professors from across the political spectrum have voiced concerns about a pathological victimhood mentality that underlies their usage.The first sign that things were getting bad was a 2015 article published in Vox titled, “I'm a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me.” Next was the Halloween brouhaha at Yale, in which a professor was shouted down by a student mob after defending his wife's email to the student body urging them to be less sensitive about costumes that “appropriate” the markers of certain cultures. Later came the mobs — often violent — calling for heads of figures like Charles Murray, Heather Mac Donald, and Milo Yiannopoulis for voicing controversial opinions.It doesn't take a sophisticated analyst to see that wearing a sombrero on Halloween is not comparable to physical violence. However, much of the criticism of the “special snowflakes” by the right has only thrown more fuel on the fire. It has created a vicious cycle, whereby the anti-free speech left sees the inflammatory language as further proof that certain voices must not be heard. Once that point is granted, it's easy to continually shrink the boundaries of acceptable speech. While there are some who may wish to inflict emotional pain on over-sensitive college students, the vast majority of professors and guest speakers who have been silenced have had good intentions — namely to share their knowledge and opinions in an environment where the ideas can be challenged and discussed in the open.NYU psychology professor Jonathan Haidt has attempted to give a platform for all truth-seekers with his Heterodox Academy — a group of academics dedicated to increasing “viewpoint diversity.” The platform functions as something of a “safe space” amid the increasing hostility to free exchange of ideas on campus. Haidt's latest book The Coddling of the American Mind (co-authored with Greg Lukianoff of The FIRE) goes beyond the mockery and intentionally inflammatory speech directed at the small subset of college students who are most visibly outraged by political incorrectness. He applies principles of psychology to understand what drives the urge to suppress free speech and shows how this is precisely the wrong way for triggered young adults to handle their anxiety.Equal parts pro-liberal philosophy and behavioral therapy, Haidt and Lukianoff's book lays out the paradox of anxiety, and how our efforts to shield ourselves from negative ideas and emotions makes us less able to cope with them. They say that blame-seeking, or “vindictive protectiveness,” re-labels well-intentioned people as “aggressors,” and is having a disastrous effect on people's mental health. They back it up with data, too, showing how the "iGeneration" now entering their college years is seeing skyrocketing rates of severe anxiety as a result of having been shielded by adults from real life.A New York Times review of the book wonders if our cultural obsession with safety could spell the “Downfall of Democracy.” With stakes this high, we need more thinkers like Haidt — and more conversations that bring hard questions and ugly truths to the surface where they can be debated, studied, and understood by the next generation of politicians, professionals, and thought leaders.JJonathan Haidt joined the show of ideas - not attitude - on Sunday (9/9) from 8–9am PACIFIC. He and Bob analyzed how well our top schools stack up to the Jeffersonian conception of the university as a place to fearlessly pursue the truth, and talk about how students can better prepare themselves mentally in this important quest.Share the link with any students beginning their freshman year, or continuing in their education at a school where these issues are being worked out in real-time.
