Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard12 Mar 2025

Jonathan Haidt Returns (on the Anxious Generation)

Jonathan Haidt (The Anxious Generation) is a social psychologist, professor, and best-selling author. Jonathan joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why his moral dumbfoundings are such tasty party tricks, if disgust contains wisdom about borders that one shouldn’t cross, and how the overprotectiveness epidemic was borne out of the safest generation yet. Jonathan and Dax talk about the fact that despite public response it’s much more dangerous for kids online than it is in the real world, the cost of gamifiying a child’s education being that their brain becomes desensitized to dopamine release, and that more serious than mental illness issues as a result of excessive screens for kids is actually attention fragmentation. Jonathan explains the four harms of increased access to smart phones and tablets, how the prevalence of a side that silences its dissidents is a reliable predictor of its wrongness, and that the key is give your kids a great and exciting social childhood.
