Kind of reinforces his point.

  Outrage is a choice, and it isn't one made by those who are willing to have an adult discussion about a topic. I think MLK's strategy is the absolute gold standard for promoting intelligent discussion around social issues. Outrage won't solve anything, other than to silence dissent. And what a terrible world that would be to live in.

    Couldn't that be the heart of why Seinfeld doesn't play university campuses anymore and Bill Mahar's critique of us millennials as pampered p%ssies? An inability to hear differing viewpoints without them being shouted down and Yale Halloween costume girl screaming at guy she helped elect? It cannot be a legitimate, honest academic environment when the groupthink, thoughpolice are in charge, or when students are merely customers to appease at every moment... respectful debate and challenging of views, assumptions and ethical rationale gets lost. Doesn't it seem currently (as also dramatized by SP) to be a war of emotional extortion of whom can most, disproportionately bully others with their micropain and force the rest of us to change our language every other week and walk on eggshells? (Sure, real sensitivity to prevent actual offense; and address actual bullying.)

      "of whom can most, disproportionately bully others with their micro pain" That reminds me a great deal of the situation at the "Twentieth Century Motor Corporation" in Atlas Shrugged, when the workers were paid according to their need- they focused on needing more.
