Merry Christmas! For the holidays, we here at Haman Nature want to give you another present! Here's a bonus episode that originally existed only behind the paywall at HamanNature.Substack.com.

Enjoy!

Book that Adam mentioned, Jonathan Haidt’s The Coddling of the American Mind (with Greg Lukianoff) - https://www.amazon.com/Coddling-American-Mind-Intentions-Generation/dp/0735224897

PS: One more notion occurred to me about this episode. Maybe these “kids” are unintentionally playing a good strategy. If they all guess the wrong answer, how could a professor or administrator or other authority figure punish them? Perhaps it’s the stupid professor’s fault if they all get the wrong answer, right?

We could call the strategy “camouflaging their ignorance against the herd”
