I enjoyed watching the gang laugh at the responses to their papers. It's such a heavy time in the world and in the culture war. It's nice that somebody is having fun with this.
An anecdote from my life if anyone is interested: I took a women's studies class during my last year in college because I wanted to learn about women since I'm a man and grew up around mostly males ...it was terrible. The whole first class was just psychoanalyzing men/masculinity and "letting the class teach the professor." There was no structure and seemingly no curriculum and not even a direction to the conversation. Everyone was taking turns talking, bouncing from one topic to the next with no continuity whatsoever, and there was absolutely no room for challenging any of these ideas. Luckily I never did. I quit the class after that first experience and took acting instead, which was way better, but I found out I'm no good at acting haha. Luckily the other classes I took (CS, economics, anthropology, and even acting) were pretty insulated from the postmodernism that infected this class so I think there's still hope for continuing the pursuit of objective truth. But this was a few years ago so things may well have changed since then.
I went to university from 2015 to 2019, and this is so parallel to my exact experience that I thought I was reading my own story for a second. Unfortunately I kind of fell for the neomarxism for a number of years, and it ended up ruining my life when I adhered to their principles… I nearly regret going to university entirely because of what they did to my morals. Thankfully I found Jordan Peterson about halfway through, and by the end he whipped me into shape, but for a few years there... haha
@@Sequins_ glad to hear someone say J. Peterson 'cured' you from the neomarxist propaganda. Sad nowadays J.P. is portrayed as a pro Marx, Stalin, Communist Socialism. These ppl just wanna take down a liability for them, because he speaks the truth. First they were saying he gloryfied Hitler and fascism... by this you know they never took the time to really listen to him. I got into him about 2-3 years ago and was flabbergasted. I pushed it down the throat of some of my friends and they agree. J.P. boss

Certainly lamentable. A few will see it, think about it, and their worldview may change a bit. I see this video as having a more powerful effect. Those of us who choose to see it as something important, and are changed by it, can bring something that effects the people around us, if only in small ways. If they are open to ideas, talk to them, have a dialectic perhaps. With some, lay subtle intellectual mazes in time... to small talk over a beer...
I may post a version of my reply to you in the comments. I was thinking about the idea of conscientious effect this afternoon and your comment brought my former thoughts to mind...
I grew up Catholic, then left home and went to San Francisco State University in the 90s. SFSU was the epicenter of this stuff back then. Postmodernism had taken complete hold of the art department, where I was a student. I clocked right away that this was a new religious movement, as it very much hit me like the Catholic Church (which had become evangelical by the late 80s) had become. You must prove you’re a true believer or you’re ousted. I was fine with walking away from both. Unlike other art history classes, postmodernism demanded that you not memorize a bunch of names and dates, but instead it demanded you believe. Many of my fellow students got sucked into that belief system. I feel grateful that I did not due to having left the Catholic Church and having no intention of ever being forced to pretend to believe in something again. Little did I know that this stuff would resurface after college and come back to haunt me in my 50s. I apologize for not doing something to try to stop it back then. It seemed so innocuous and ridiculous and solely taking place on that particular college campus.
I feel guilty, too. For not calling out the bullshite when I could. I fought for beauty for decades at the Uni...they always said, "beauty is a fascist tool of the bla bla bla". I thank my lucky stars I read the Gulag Archipelago the summer I graduated high-school, 1976. A great innoculation against very bad ideas. I think we will have to find our forgiveness in the fight to come.
18:09 From Bret Weinstein. Based. "This is about a breakdown in the basic logic of civilization, and it"s spreading"..."It actually does jeopardize the ability of civilization to continue to function."
Mike, I think your work with James A. Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, and Helen Pluckrose will be very much needed by the whole world because anything to do with contemporary culture in the West generally spreads out to around the world (maybe manifesting in different types of social issues, like for instance here in Indonesia this has pretty much corrupted social studies, feminism, and especially religion). The whole world must be more informed about this thing. Thank you for doing this.

On a thread about JK Rowling's current transgression, I kid you not, I saw two people discussing how the werewolves in Harry Potter were an allegory for Rowling's transphobia, using overly intellectual language. I should have taken a screenshot. The west has definitely slipped off its axis.

The Kindly Ones in Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic book series were the Fates who determined who lived and who died. The Kindly Inquisition sounds like the same thing.
I took an English class last semester, and the first assignment was to read a piece of literature that included a quote that for the decolonizing of literary history and question the hegemony of Western schemas, from the macronarratives of civilization and capitalism, to such privileged languages as greek, latin, french, and german, and called to cease to assume the existence of something called literature. There was also a quote by Jean Paul Sartre criticizing Western thought that it always thematized the other as a threat to be reduced, and another part suggested we should interrogate and contest process of power by which literature in named, taught, canonized, and defined. This piece of literature got under my skin, so I tried to get my arguments in order in an essay and pointed out some contradictions of the paper, and clarified I wasn't implicitly arguing for censorship, I was questioning why it was being taught especially not under a critical lens. The day after I gave it to the instructor, the instructor talked with me in their office and suggested I put away my fangs and not be so critical in their class. Was this the right strategy? Should I have had a verbal discussion during the class, or just get a good grade, or contact someone else in the english department, or do what I did and write my arguments for the instructor?
that makes it worse because you invested in your indoctrination... To admit you'd been duped by your university means you also got ripped off.. It's how Scientology works
I now have more insight to watch happened to me at college. Being dyslexic, I didn't do too well at school, scraped thru my Humanities degree around 30, but never had the English, so went back just to do that. I sat next to a black guy in my class, we got on great, but the table behind us, she even physically attacked me in a class, yet because her skin was darker than mine, I was excluded for being racist & put before a panel. My teacher knew I wasn't racist, the guy I sat with knew I wasn't racist, when the trial started, & I said I'd done my degree in race & racism & my job was promoting mostly black artists & djs, one woman on the panel thru down her pen exasperated at the whole show trial, my guess is she didn't last long. I was grilled & still expelled. This was over a decade ago, in London, now I know why x
Another great piece Mike. Thanks for all you do! You are just as much a hero as Bret, Heather, Eric, Jordan, Dave, Sam, Pete, Jim, & Helen as far as I'm concerned! keep making these powerful video's!
If this is ‘becoming’ a documentary it needs more than talking heads. It needs visuals of campuses, students protesting, graphics showing the spread, voice overs defining (honestly & without bias) to CRT etc...
Mike Nayna, you need to add another chapter to the Evergreen documentary covering the recent protests in Seattle. Brett Weinstein’s words were practically prophetic about the breakdown of civilization. Then take all of those parts and cut them into a feature length documentary. Put it on Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, wherever people can see it.
Great to see how this story has evolved through the lens of your camera Mike. The importance of this pedagogical approach you have employed in your semiotic narrative cannot be understated given the extent to which you expose the problematic performativities of the oppressive intelligentsia. I'm pretty sure a few of those scenes were shot with all natural light too...
@@jonathancripps6489 Yup, currently, White Fragility is winning big time. I hope James Lindsay gets to lecture to all democratic senators just like DiAngelo did.
Mel Brooks' best movie, History of the World, Part 1. There was a segment on the Spanish Inquisition, a musical number sung by Brooks as Torquemada. It was fantastic.

As I was listening to James talk about the crap that the diversity dept.'s put academics through who step out of line with the ideologues, the false charges of beatings, rape, etc. in particular, and the effect that's had on scholarship, my mind drifted to what was done to judges Kavanaugh and Thomas in their confirmation hearings. It was the same thing. This game has been played for a long, long time. It's just that a lot of people haven't realized it. A lot of people still don't realize it. The reason this game is being played is because it tends to work REALLY well for people who want to protect an area of work against criticism, and possible shootdowns that would completely discredit it. Even if people make it through the process, and are exonerated, the scathing, expensive besmirching of character still stands as an example to the less courageous, which is turning out to be a lot of people, to keep their heads down, and not poke that bear, because they don't want to deal with that.

Mike, your videos are an invaluable service to humanity, thank you! The false accusations/kangaroo court element here has particular resonance for me: my dad, an academic in Australia, challenged his faculty’s orthodoxy in a slightly less humorous way and was hit with an absurdly unsubstantiated accusation of misappropriating others’ research, a very serious charge. By the way, you gave an excellent account of yourself in Brett Weinstein’s Dark Horse podcast, I think you should spend more time on camera too!
Now I feel embarassed to be a major in geography (physical). Even though this feminism thing isn't part of our ed. We had a visiting professor (or some other educator) from the states for a year or two, he was so confused that our unis geography department didn't teach or study feminist geography. We were confused of hes confusion. I don't think that any geography department studys or teaches fem geo in a major way on my country.

I had no idea the amazing Sarah Haider talked at an event alongside James Lindsay at the start there! For anyone else wondering where to find the full talk, it's called "Truth, Evidence, and Reason: who can we believe?". Sadly the footage available on PostTruth Initiative is of very low quality, and the audio recording has a high-pitched buzzing the entire time :(
Man, these Mad Lads look like they had so much fun 😂 Normally I dislike people punching down, and it's quite clear that this lot are leagues and leagues above their 'peers', but my god. There is something so cathartic, so enjoyable, to watch them absolutely ruin these people 🤣
This reminds me slightly of the "Ern Malley" poems. Way back in 1944, two Australian Army public liaison officers with an interest in poetry, but no publications, wrote a series of free verses, and sent them to "Angry Penguins", a journal of new poetry that was trying to out-Eliot Eliot. They posed as the sister of one Ern Malley, a recently-deceased unpublished poet. The "poems" were strings of highly coloured stream-of-consciousness images that were not meant to make any sense, using random words. Max Harris, the editor of "Angry Penguins", thought they were brilliant, and immediately published them with glowing reviews. Other pundits took up the cry. For a while, literary circles were abuzz with the discovery of this new genius, dead so tragically young. When the imposition came to light, Harris and the literati were briefly embarrassed. Non-literary types had a good laugh. But gradually the establishment closed ranks. The "Angry Penguin" poems were admitted to the canon. The authors might have _thought_ that they were ridiculous; they might have intended satire; but what they had inadvertently produced was brilliant. It was testimony, said the neo-modernists, to the bad effects of attempting structured verse. Here were mere hacks who were only capable of works of genius when they consciously and deliberately abandoned all restraint, including the boring convention that the result actually make sense. Maybe these "papers" will get the same treatment. I'd look out for op-ed pieces that inform the faithful that although the whole thing, dogs, genitals, behaviour, questions, answers and all, is completely fabricated, the conclusions are a truth, and as valid as any set of "observations". But more likely, the _affaire_ will simply be ignored. Or that will be the attempt. It must not succeed.
It should come as no surprise that a school rated as "poor" but, "expensive" was full of overreactors, also it comes as no surprise that Bret and his wife taught there for so long.
It is ridiculous that a bunch of these supposedly academically rigorous and prestigious journals that accepted the “research” then went on to angrily castigate these guys for committing research fraud and ethics violations, rather than taking a good look at the rot in the academy.
Ok...here’s a prolegomenon to the analysis of critical race theory. Critical race theory was devised by a couple of Harvard law students as they advocated to have a professor of color fill a vacated chair in the law school. At the time a trend in jurisprudence called critical legal studies was gaining traction. CLS was an effort to analyze legal language, the law etc. from the perspective of deconstruction and other semiotic theories. This is important to note since these studies heavily critique the basis of scientific discourse. To make a long story short CRT rather than continuing the analysis of discourse discursively turns around and bases its claims on the exact mode of “scientism” that the theorists of deconstruction Lacanian psychoanalysis and post structural theorists were dismantling. They found their rationale in the notion of “unconscious bias” a concept that ironically enough betrays the rejection of Freud by the behavioral/cognitivists while resurrecting Freud’s main concept and rehabilitating it to suit their purposes. Unconscious bias is and has been discredited as complete malarkey yet the consulting industry of sensitivity training, offices of diversity management etc have by now gained so much ideological traction that the “believers” don’t give a shit if it’s essentially predicated on nonsense. It’s become a competitive simulacrum of a theater of virtue erasing its malignant origin....

Oh my god. The beat in the beginning is Bittereinder. Where did you get that?
PETER LAUGHS LIKE I DO. Finally a WHEEZING INTELLECTUAL!
Awww, the UK edition of their book isn't available for another six weeks! Anyone read it yet?
The Kindly Inquisition, what a show.
An instructive episode
Please share this video as much as possible to show the world how corrupted is this "new" feminist movement
Was the documentary ever released?
This movement is like a buying a Lamborghini only to find a malfunctioning Suzuki engine stuck in reverse under the hood
This^
Situatedness? 4:05 .. I had to look it up . (Not the first time I've done that since I started down this rabbit hole)
You guys are so cute -- giggling like little kids over your trick! Just a delight to watch.
Subbed and will share. Thx.

So its the Sokal affair 2020 version. You would think the social sciences crowd would have learn something.
That cut to the Rogan laugh at 5:34 killed me.
The sound on this is a bit muffled using my usual mechanisms of listening. But very much worth the extra effort to listen to.
When are you going on Rogan, Mike?
Excellent
Now I feel embarassed to be a major in geography (physical). Even though this feminism thing isn't part of our ed. We had a visiting professor (or some other educator) from the states for a year or two, he was so confused that our unis geography department didn't teach or study feminist geography. We were confused of hes confusion. I don't think that any geography department studys or teaches fem geo in a major way on my country.
Wtf is feminist geography anyway? The world is turning into a shit.
You didn’t study the Grand Tetons ?
Great stuff.. Can you please reduce the length. to a size to easier to share.? 5min . perhaps?

The Sacred Triangle, the balance weighing the three Forces: Power, Wisdom and Courage, does not discriminate. Whomsoever may wield this Triforce - whether he be Good or Evil - may not be conquered. Plus on tee shirts it is definitely too cool for school.
love James. and he has great taste in shoes! Samba Millenniums are timeless
Did you guys write a book about this-because it is historic!
I had no idea the amazing Sarah Haider talked at an event alongside James Lindsay at the start there! For anyone else wondering where to find the full talk, it's called "Truth, Evidence, and Reason: who can we believe?". Sadly the footage available on PostTruth Initiative is of very low quality, and the audio recording has a high-pitched buzzing the entire time :(
Man, these Mad Lads look like they had so much fun 😂
Normally I dislike people punching down, and it's quite clear that this lot are leagues and leagues above their 'peers', but my god. There is something so cathartic, so enjoyable, to watch them absolutely ruin these people 🤣
James has great taste in shoes 👌👌👌
This reminds me slightly of the "Ern Malley" poems. Way back in 1944, two Australian Army public liaison officers with an interest in poetry, but no publications, wrote a series of free verses, and sent them to "Angry Penguins", a journal of new poetry that was trying to out-Eliot Eliot. They posed as the sister of one Ern Malley, a recently-deceased unpublished poet. The "poems" were strings of highly coloured stream-of-consciousness images that were not meant to make any sense, using random words. Max Harris, the editor of "Angry Penguins", thought they were brilliant, and immediately published them with glowing reviews. Other pundits took up the cry. For a while, literary circles were abuzz with the discovery of this new genius, dead so tragically young.
When the imposition came to light, Harris and the literati were briefly embarrassed. Non-literary types had a good laugh. But gradually the establishment closed ranks. The "Angry Penguin" poems were admitted to the canon. The authors might have _thought_ that they were ridiculous; they might have intended satire; but what they had inadvertently produced was brilliant. It was testimony, said the neo-modernists, to the bad effects of attempting structured verse. Here were mere hacks who were only capable of works of genius when they consciously and deliberately abandoned all restraint, including the boring convention that the result actually make sense.
Maybe these "papers" will get the same treatment. I'd look out for op-ed pieces that inform the faithful that although the whole thing, dogs, genitals, behaviour, questions, answers and all, is completely fabricated, the conclusions are a truth, and as valid as any set of "observations". But more likely, the _affaire_ will simply be ignored. Or that will be the attempt. It must not succeed.
This story is very old. The Emperor Has No Clothes...
Im waiting for this channel to blow
Diversity offices promote struggle sessions.
Scary how right they were. It's everywhere now including federal government in just 2 years
Evergreen is the perfect case study for how social justice ends
It should come as no surprise that a school rated as "poor" but, "expensive" was full of overreactors, also it comes as no surprise that Bret and his wife taught there for so long.
It is ridiculous that a bunch of these supposedly academically rigorous and prestigious journals that accepted the “research” then went on to angrily castigate these guys for committing research fraud and ethics violations, rather than taking a good look at the rot in the academy.
You should edit out the 41 second lead in. I would guess that some people will drop before that and this video is too good for that to happen.
James Lindsay is a hero. He's selflessly jeopardizing his career to fight critical theories and the dangers they represent.
Mike, we have to have a serious talk about your choice in music for outros.
Nice man spreading there, James 😂
Like he said - everything is Evergreen now!
Ok...here’s a prolegomenon to the analysis of critical race theory. Critical race theory was devised by a couple of Harvard law students as they advocated to have a professor of color fill a vacated chair in the law school. At the time a trend in jurisprudence called critical legal studies was gaining traction. CLS was an effort to analyze legal language, the law etc. from the perspective of deconstruction and other semiotic theories. This is important to note since these studies heavily critique the basis of scientific discourse. To make a long story short CRT rather than continuing the analysis of discourse discursively turns around and bases its claims on the exact mode of “scientism” that the theorists of deconstruction Lacanian psychoanalysis and post structural theorists were dismantling. They found their rationale in the notion of “unconscious bias” a concept that ironically enough betrays the rejection of Freud by the behavioral/cognitivists while resurrecting Freud’s main concept and rehabilitating it to suit their purposes. Unconscious bias is and has been discredited as complete malarkey yet the consulting industry of sensitivity training, offices of diversity management etc have by now gained so much ideological traction that the “believers” don’t give a shit if it’s essentially predicated on nonsense. It’s become a competitive simulacrum of a theater of virtue erasing its malignant origin....
