I work for an online therapy company now and the overlap between Philosophy and Psychology always brings me joy.

So full of wisdom. As someone who grew up riding horses through the forest with my siblings when we were 6 and 8 for miles un chaperoned I can attest that I mostly fearlessly go at a lot of challenges or even everyday activities like riding a bike and I always took it for granted that everyone else did the same. thru the years have come to understand people I've met who grew up more sheltered are much more apprehensive about even simple things like hiking up a small mountain.

Lessons abound in this talk!

The KZread algorithms for recommending videos based on prior viewing history may also be a contributing factor to people having severe emotional difficulty coping with opinions contrary to their own. If KZread indeed recommends to me videos that fall within the same categories of videos I have viewed previously (which includes political commentary), then I think this would certainly funnel my future views into channels that further propagandize me into viewing political issues in a specific, polarized way. This could certainly cause me to fall victim of lazy dichotomous thinking in which my reinforced ideals are 'good' and anything else is 'evil'. So perhaps KZread plays a big role not only with the new mental fragility at universities, but also to the growing political divide in the United States. As for this video, I think it was well worth watching and I will recommend it.

I think Peterson is coming from a much more heightened sense of the dangers that Haidt is referring to. Bill C16, then the firing of the Student Aid who showed his video, then the interviews, then more interviews... Along side this with the personal issues he has been encountering... I think he popped into the world born into battle. Haidt’s work gives us a chronology and explanation of events, a diagnosis, and a “cure” mostly from the POV of a participating observer. Peterson does the same frequently from the POV of a protagonist/antagonist with regard to the free speech issue. However, because this is not his academic area of focus, this is not his only POV. In my mind, that is why Peterson is more difficult to put in a box, and more entertaining to listen to. I think Peterson is much more battle worn, and so his prescriptive methods will reveal the mark of their maker.

This guy speeks the truth. I do not remember at what age I was allowed to play out side with out my mother because I have always done so. However there are other factors. I lived in a neighbor hood were every one played out side. We played alone or in groups. There were always parents of one of the kids able to be reached if needed. As we got older we took care of ourselves and expanded our range. We might even play up to a mile away from our home. By the time I was in high school I was riding by bike were ever I wanted to. I have to note I had to be pushed into this a little. By the time I was in Jr. high I was a latchkey kid. Today my mother would be facing a felony charge for this. Back then you did what you had to do, and you had to trust your child. As well as trust your neighbors. The play ground equipment was completely different than it is now. It was made out concrete, old tires of every size, telephone poles, and steel. They were also huge. In my elementary schools we had large concrete constructs that several kids at once could climb in, under, and on top of. They could be 8 feet high. All of which were designed to force the child how to climb them. We had towers of tractor tires, telephone poles. Easily 15 feet at the top. Sure kids fell off, but we learned it was a mistake. Both the child learned why they fell, and use watching him learned why they fell. We became a society of cowards, and people who shift blame and responsibility. Even in education were the child and parent are no longer responsible for any of their education.

Haidt speech is not the same as Fried speech.

For all the research that Jonathan Haidt has done he should know we don't need a Free Range Kids law as there is a federal law, passed in 2015, called the Every Student Succeeds Act and it protects the rights of children to go out alone. I really did enjoy that he mentions bringing people together from a place of love and trying to be inclusive so that we can try to solve our societal issues. You don't hear that much from public speakers.

Parents need to be more like traipse nets than like suffocating bubble wrap. A traipse net will catch you when you fall and keep you from dying, but it won't necessarily keep you from getting hurt.

The British pediatrician Donald Woods Winnicott published a book in 1973 about the merits of the "good enough parent" after observing hundreds (not sure about this number) of kids and comparing and noticing that those who were raised by babysitters had a better development than those raised by their own parents ... because the babysitter is, though less good than the mother, good enough.

40:40 social comparison THANK YOU. I believe it’s the juggernaut in all this mess. Watching the “perfect” lives of their peers is absolutely crippling between the jealousy and the FOMO and just the constant comparing of lives. The influencers stand by the numbers of fans they have and the positive feedback they are getting and they aren’t seeing the bigger picture. It’s hard to blame the influencer though because they are just doing what has now become the norm and has proven to become a “successful” career choice (at least monetarily). It’s really key to teach the children watching all this influencer shit what’s going on here. But with that said it’s hard to know what’s really going on in the potentially troubled persons mind. You can teach great things and they can say I’m fine but its hard to really know. Unfortunately we are going through the guinea pig phase of this social media experiment.

Jonathan Haidt eloquently articulates what I struggle to ... sent this link to my Gen Z kids... hope they watch and think

Later on, he does mention the quote by Epictetus, "It is not the things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance." That is what nails it. So the emphasis he puts on children in playgrounds that are too safe is not nearly as important owning the concept that our interpretation is what disturbs or does not disturb us. I do think he makes a lot of great points, and is in the direction. But I also think it could be simplified and clarified even more: The demands we make are what does us in. Accepting that the world does not necessarily go the way we want it to go, while we can strive for a better world, is the key.

Part of the issue could also be that top colleges have been pivoting to accept more “angular” students who are by nature of their focused accomplishments not as exposed or open to “other” and new ideas/likings/hobbies etc. As a result of this change, students are “sampling” less and becoming more structured in their pursuit of winning state/national awards in a single subject. This seems fundamentally “un-curious” to me. I’ve been coming across this a lot in my recruitment from colleges as well. For example lots of the things being invented in tech and venture capital these days need participants to have good ethical and economic frameworks, and they need to be asking the tough questions. None of that is really happening. Who owns that piece of personal development - high school? College? Do we really want to leave it to the home and roll the dice that it happened?

I was born in 1969, and in my generation, anxiety did not appear to be a thing. I had not heard of anxiety as a disorder until a few years ago, and when I did, I did not immediately understand what it was. Depression, schizophrenia, bipolarity, sure, but anxiety? That's not to say it did not exist, but it was so rare that it did not register. Today, you get the impression that virtually all young people are suffering from some form of anxiety. Something has definitely changed.
