Jonathan Haidt pits two different university models against each other, one aimed to strengthen you, the other to protect you (unless you're "privileged"). Well worth the time. Haidt has certainly delivered this talk before, finely honing and perfecting it. It bogs down a little on the front half, but the second half is highly entertaining.

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')

I might try to fit this in to one of my courses.
