If you can maintain your sense of humor you can actually enjoy it. You also have to sell something you like.

I find it ironic that a college student who claims the mantle of being more highly enlightened or evolved (or whatever) doesn’t understand the world well enough to discern that any “safe space” created and maintained by others is inherently unsafe.

Alas, his idea won’t work, because people like me are offended by his very existence as a pampered, infantilized ivy league blowhard.

Fortunately, this guy and his ilk will never come to rule the world. They don’t have the ability to fight and scratch for what they want and need. They can only wheedle and whine - and blame others.

Oh - and he has not forsaken freedom of speech. But he does reserve it only to himself.

You have to understand that there are 2 full generations of these now brainwashed Americans. If you are under 30, you have been brainwashed into PC by every school you have ever attended.

Indeed we are left with nothing to help us but the good Lord.

...but before you say “Haha, wow, just wait till this kid gets to the real world,” ask yourself: What will happen when kids like him are the real world?

Hey, it's all good, and after ten or so years as a fry cook, maybe he can work his way up manager.

"When I say your argument makes me uncomfortable, it is because I am greatly concerned that you have not done the requisite thought and research into generating an inclusive thesis that considers as many nuances as necessary to deliver a sound debate..."

Sorry, kid, but your demand that the outcome of thought and research be an "inclusive thesis" is an idiotic attempt to establish rules for which there is no justification. Putting your special brand of limitation on the outcome of thought simply means you have presupposed what the answer is.

I'm not sure if the student is smart enough to see what he's really trying to do - I suspect that he is so emotionally fragile (and intellectually inept) that he cannot help but try and frame the debate in such a debilitating manner. (And to do so openly, without enough subterfuge to allow a casual read to omit the danger signals.)

B-b-b-but...

You came to a different conclusion than he did!

How is it you (and I) just can’t understand how brilliant his sophistry is?

LOL

Given that the student’s screed is an ad hominem, and that the response article posted here is a humorous ad hominem, I have to wonder what the WSJ thought would happen...

Obviously this “intellect” has spent a lot of time being thoroughly brain-washed, arrogant bastard that he is.

When you say brain washed. Do you mean someone might have given him a high enema?

Here's a "safe space problem" from another "elite" student: Harvard Student’s Op-Ed: Our School’s ‘Safe Space’ Isn’t Safe Enough

Mr. DiZoglio should grow up. There is no "Select Comfort Society" in the real world. You can't take your half of the road out of the middle. Society defined your half for the benefit of all. "Nuancing" doesn't work at rush hour.

What will happen when kids like him are the real world?

When he and his hubris finally run out of college courses to take and has to go out into the world - the world will eat him up, spit out the pieces and move on.

The left is trying to remake the real world so that logical thinking is no longer allowed.
