Well worth reading from Jonathan Haidt

I don't agree with everything in this article, but it's a must-read anyway.

I am late to this excellent essay by @JonHaidt. His diagnosis isn't so novel (social media turned us into Babel after the destruction of the tower, all very @lessin) but Haidt ends with some constructive proposals for reform:

A very important essay by Jonathan Haidt about the damage social media is doing to us: "Thanks to enhanced-virality social media, dissent is punished within many of our institutions, which means that bad ideas get elevated into official policy."

Superb long article by Jonathan Haidt. Please please set aside enough time to read it and reflect upon it.
