Context: John Haidt recently published a book called The Anxious Generation. I have not read it, but it has been critiqued as being too reductionist and too strict in its interpretation of the issue, as well as too alarmist.

He seems very defensive in this rebuttal. I encourage everyone to read the nature article he is responding to. Again, I haven’t read it, but this article is just contributing to my suspicions that maybe his work is more flawed than he’d like to admit.
