I've been a big fan of #JonathanHaidt, but his fear of the effect of social media on kids comes off to me as exactly the kind of moral panic we had in the past, that he now blames for #wokeism. @mmasnick digs in and brings the receipts. my question is who on the different sides of this argument, will get a fair hearing of the other's perspective? unless they talk to each other in a public forum... https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-coddling-of-the-american-parent
#JonathanHaidt thinks there's too much #safetyism coming from the left regarding not wanting to hear right-wing opinions or letting their kids run free, but he wants more of it regarding porn, social media use and anger at Israel. Unless you put yourself in spaces that allow others to call you on it, most people will think they are being entirely consistent. #LiberalValues#JRE
Listening to #JonathanHaidt on #JRE talking about social media. I used to love Haidt but he has become a fearmonger. A former liberal who no longer trusts that people can adapt. He doesn't seem to know alternatives to corporate algo platforms exist. I think the #TikTok zombie issue is naturally going to fade as people realize it's not good for us. I just hope too many of us don't throw out the civic value of social media along with it. #LiberalValues#AttentionDemocracy https://pca.st/rah37y5y
