Episode notes
Use Processes Not Panic To Resolve Campus Disputes
- Limit administrative intervention; encourage processes for contested changes rather than immediate top-down responses.
- Use formal, delayed voting procedures to decide renamings or removals instead of reacting to loud protests.
Prioritize Intellectual Diversity In Admissions
- Admit students who contribute to intellectual diversity and encourage students willing to disagree constructively.
- Reduce overrepresentation of social-justice signaling applicants to restore open debate.

- Psychedelics show therapeutic promise in controlled settings and have been unfairly stigmatized by moral panic.
- Haidt sees psychedelics as underrated for enriching lives and therapy.
