As usual, very well explained the cult atmosphere on campuses and shows the hypocrisy these professors push on young minds. If common sense was in abundance, then they could hear or read these examples and laugh at the total hypocrisy. Unfortunately, common sense is on short supply and life support.
This deeply resonates. I’ve seen my own field of Psychology succumb to the same, even the American Psychological Association has fallen captive to these ideas. As optimist as I usually am, I have a hard time seeing the way of this imbroglio.
This was an interesting read. I feel it is a common social practice in recent years to take the person you have a disagreement with, stuff them full of straw, and make them out to be an extremist boogie-man. With ever-increasing frequency, I find myself in conversations asking people to assume the other side has good intentions and that most people are mostly good to only get the response, “Yeah? Well what about Hitler?!” Then they look at me like they made both an argument I never heard before and one that has absolutely no holes in it.
And with impact vs. intentions—have we really become such a demanding, exacting society that we expect everyone to have a supercomputer for a brain capable of running every worst-case-scenario? The human experience is just messy. We have to accept that and be humble enough to learn when our most well-intended mistakes fail and have grace when we receive the unintended consequences of those mistakes.

Sheesh—tough crowds all around with that line.
