Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman. My guest today is Jonathan Haidt.

I just had Jonathan on a few weeks ago with Greg Lukianov and Ricky Schlaught, but I wanted to get him back for a one-on-one.

And I'm glad I did, because this turned out to be a really great conversation.

It actually felt more like a private phone call than an interview, which I thought was really cool.

John brought up the first email that I ever sent to him back when I was just a random

Columbia undergraduate trying to understand why some of my professors seemed totally insane.

So that was really cool. We also talked about humor and offensive jokes. We discussed reasons

why social media sucks so much as a forum for serious conversations.

We talk about the pros and cons of the internet.

We talk about the progress America has made on issues like racism.

And we talk about whether protest movements are still a useful practice.

We talk about Elon Musk potentially buying Twitter and much more.

So without further ado, Jonathan Haidt.

All right, Jonathan Hyatt.
