More recently, one transgender professor was caught walking in the streets naked in the midst of a psychotic breakdown. It is a weird place, with a tight culture, that rewards the most extreme liberal nonsense. It makes sense to me that Williams College makes its student mentally ill.
Here is a great article about why leftism undercuts one of the few techniques known to combat depression and anxiety. It is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT and it works like a charm.
The gist of the article is that leftist thought is the reverse of CBT in that it makes depressed and anxious people more depressed and anxious. Even worse, it rewards people for engaging in self-destructive behavior.
The article is by John Haidt and it is called, Why the Mental Health of Liberal Girls Sank First and Fastest: Evidence for Lukianoff’s Reverse CBT Hypothesis. You can read it yourself in Haidt's substack blog, After Babble.
