I recently had a pretty funny encounter at the Turning Point USA Pastor's Summit that I think is worth sharing with you all because it makes an important point about the Woke. Saving the story for the podcast, the point it makes is that a common Woke technique is to blur away the relevant context and attempt to leverage a universal principle out of a contextual one. "Care about others' feelings!" gets weaponized through the erasure of the relevant context as though the way that is to be done universalizes when it doesn't. In this episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, I tell you the story, expose this tactic, and explain why a heuristic like "don't contradict grandma" (and hurt her feelings) is fundamentally different thing than Woke demands for weaponized empathy. Join me to hear about it!<br />-James Lindsay<br /><br />Get James Lindsay's new book, The Marxification of Education: <a href="https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY</a><br /><br />Support New Discourses: <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/support" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://newdiscourses.com/support</a><br /><br />Follow New Discourses on other platforms: <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe</a><br /><br />Follow James Lindsay: <a href="https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames</a><br /><br />© 2023 New Discourses.
