Скачать или смотреть The Coddling of the American Mind — Crisis in Perception Deep Dive

Welcome to Crisis in Perception.

In this Deep Dive, we examine The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt — a book that explores rising fragility, polarization, and conflict on college campuses and beyond.

The authors argue that a set of widely taught but deeply flawed ideas — what they call the Three Great Untruths — are undermining mental health, intellectual resilience, and open inquiry. These untruths are reinforced by overprotective parenting, institutional “safetyism,” and cultural shifts that reward emotional reasoning over critical thinking.

Topics explored in this episode include:

The Three Great Untruths and how they distort thinking

The rise of “safetyism” and student fragility

How concept creep expands the definition of harm

The effects of call-out culture and moral tribalism

Declining viewpoint diversity in higher education

Why cognitive behavioral principles promote resilience

Why universities must prioritize truth over comfort

This is not a generational attack and not a partisan critique.
It is a systems-level analysis of how good intentions can produce harmful outcomes.
