Taylor Lorenz on the other hand is a truth teller which is why unlike Haidt you don't see her on network TV and other corporate media. I don't agree with everything she says (thank goodness) but she has some different takes on things that seem insightful to me.
If you not familiar with Jonathan Haidt it's probably just as well. Suffice it to say he's a wolf in sheep's clothing that the system vomits up every so often. He seems like a transgressive truth teller but is actually a trojan horse for the plutocrats. This is why you see a right-wing pro-corporate propaganda shop like the Heritage Foundation promoting his ideas.
Any explanation for society's ills that doesn't upset the status quo - gross inequality, billionaire's tax shelters , legal system favoring the rich, for-profit prisons for the poor, and predatory capitalism for all, is fine - just don't critique the profit motive...ever.
In case you are unaware, the Heritage Foundation dates back to the actor Ronald Reagan's days as president and is currently infamous/famous for creating the fascist blueprint - Project 2025 (and now a shorter version - Project 2026).
Project 2026 weighs in at a mere 150 pages (compared to the 900 plus pages of Project 2025) and promises to be extra-misogynistic, patriarchal, a utopian dream - for the uber wealthy and fundamentalist ideologues; nightmare for the little people who pay taxes, fight rich man’s wars etc. You can surmise this solely by its title "Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years" and by being semiconscious over the last 4 decades of neoliberal revolution or the last decade of our country slipping into a form of fascism or even the last two years of devolution under the GOP cult’s control of the three branches of government.
