I guess the issue is whether the point regarding oppression is being minimized by Brooks or if it is being exaggerated by others.
I certainly find myself in contexts in the university academy where I feel folks are over-emphasizing white male oppression.
And it is too easy for someone to hear me voice that and then state that I must be saying that because I am a privileged white male and am blinded by self-serving motives (an accusation that has been leveled against me).

Jason,
You don’t see any validity to his point?
I find myself resonating with it. I am a member of the Heterodox Academy (https://heterodoxacademy.org/), which is concerned with the lack of political viewpoint diversity in the academy.

I found this to be a thoughtful article by David Brooks. I find my own life mission oriented toward contributing to conversation and visions having to do with (re)constructing a broader, deeper, wiser global worldview.
Best,
Gregg
