yeah, he calls it "anti-antifragile": they got so torqued by campus debate bros they rendered themselves unable to even operate without a safe space, so they just resort to deplatforming, screaming, punching that makes the disingenuous debate bros look like the reasonable ones: so one brings up stuff like Cherokee being enthusiastic slaveowners or Black-on-Black crime--and they go unanswered because the students run crying to the admins because they don't want to "engage"

basically it's another academic fad like the 70s' obsession with "self-esteem"--few teachers questioned its novelty (I mean they're elementary/middle-school teachers while even professionals go with the flow) and eventually it became SOP and nobody realized you even COULD question it; ditto how the radfems were the dominant SJW for decades until they hit that third rail of trans women 2014/5 ("passing" gays are still exiled)
