main ideas:

1. safety culture / comfort culture / safe spaces actually harm people, and you are making them worse off by advancing them

2. people benefit from criticism and argument -- not just in a truthseeking sense, but in the sense that it prepares them for jobs

3. you are actually acting against the interests of other people by comforting them or making them "safe" (as in emotionally 'safe', not physically safe like it's usually understood)

4. we are better off to the extent we encourage antifragility norms, not victimhood norms
