You might think enlightened universities would try to challenge the dark aspects of human nature, such as our inclination toward “Us-vs.-Them” thinking.
But, as we’ve seen over and over again, universities often stoke our barbaric tendencies by teaching students that some people are “good” and others are “bad,” not based on their actions, but on identity characteristics.
The “privileged/oppressor” framework then spills into the broader culture and pollutes everything from art to politics.
In this clip from The Coddling of the American Mind movie, Jonathan Haidt introduces the Third Great Untruth.
“Excellent” … “Terrific” … “Great. Important. Eye-opening”
(Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist … Michael Smerconish, CNN … Chris Gore, Film Threat)
