Someone recommended the Free Press to me as a place to find critical thinking, integrity, and open mindedness.
This interview revealed privilege, hubris and hypocrisy. I suggest you get out of your own privileged echo chamber and come down to the earth with the rest of us for a while. This is neo-neoliberalism at its worst.

Procrastination is a problem of privilege, not technology. So-called "neurodivergence" (which is not really a thing) is the unfortunate result of technology combined with privilege combined with unhealthy narcissism.
You are right to say that higher ed isn't teaching critical thinking skills, but it's not the fault of progressives or SJF, it's the fault of corruption at the highest levels. Veritas is a joke when it comes to scientific research, at least in the field of medicine (my field).
I suggest you do a deep dive into corruption in research before commenting on people not "trusting science". It's not the science we don't trust - it's those with power to mess with the science for their own again that we don't trust. Can you blame us? If you don't know the full story, don't judge.
As a mother I'd like to ask Tim a question about his sweet baby girl. Imagine her at 2 and then 12 and then 16 and then 22. How would you feel if she came to you and told you she'd been abused by a pastor, or a teacher, or a boss? What would your reaction be? Would you tell her she'd asked for it? Would you suggest she forgive and forget? Would you tell her not to talk to anybody about it? Would you explain to her that "boys will be boys"?
I hope not.
But that is what society has been doing to girls and women ever since the neoliberals let Bill Clinton off the hook for his bad behavior. By not holding the Abuser-In-Chief (Charming Bully, covert narcissist) accountable for his behavior, all Clinton's flying monkeys set this country on a horrible trajectory.
Tim - If you love your daughter, don't you dare talk about Monica's agency. Picture your daughter as Monica. Don't pretend that it could never happen to her. It can and it very well might - because YOU are not calling out the abusers for their behavior.
Women, people of color, the poor... anyone who is not at the top of your stupid ladder (which in reality is the ladder of privilege) continue to be oppressed and abused because it benefits YOU.
You don't really want free speech for everyone. You just want free speech for people who think like you do. You're just like the guys behind The Coddling of the American Mind. Same silly arguments that only take into consideration people of privilege.
I was excited to read your book, but now I won't bother.
If you're truly interested in other opinions, I have a lot more for you. I'd be happy to have a conversation.
