Political violence and threats can be a powerful source of self-censorship. We need to end support for political violence of every kind on every side, from this terrible murder to the threats of violence against professors from all sides who express controversial views.

As I illustrate in my forthcoming book, we live in an age of authenticity worship. From corporate mission statements urging employees to "bring their whole selves to work" to self-help gurus insisting that "being real" is the only path to fulfillment, we've elevated authenticity to near-spiritual status.
