Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Dr. James Lindsay break down how Marxism evolved from a singular ideology into a genus, spawning many oppressor/oppressed dogmas across modern culture such as equity, critical race theory, and queer theory. They trace these sub-Marxist doctrines back past fundamental narrative into the theological realm, and detail their utility in the acquisition of power. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Lindsay also discuss the Grievance Studies Affair, of which Dr. Lindsay was a co-author and which casts a spotlight on the Marxist capture of our academic and scientific institutions. An author, mathematician, and political commentator, Dr. James Lindsay has written eight books spanning a range of subjects including education, postmodern theory, and critical race theory. Dr. Lindsay is the founder of New Discourses, an organization dedicated to shining the light of objective truth in subjective darkness. Dr. Lindsay is the co-author of “Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody” and the author of “Race Marxism,” as well as, “The Marxification of Education.” Dr. Lindsay has been a featured guest on Fox News, Glenn Beck, Joe Rogan, and NPR, and he has spoken at the Oxford Union and the EU Parliament. - Links - For Dr. James LIndsay: Twitter @conceptualjames https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames? ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor New Discourses (Wesbite): Newdiscourses.com Marxification of Education (Book): https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY Race Marxism (Book): https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY Cynical Theories (Book): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1634312023/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1634312023&linkCode=as2&tag=newdiscourses-20&linkId=5349986ff015163a02e68c57138dcf6d

0:00.0	Hello everyone, watching and listening. Today I'm speaking with author, mathematician and political
0:19.9	commentator Dr. James Lindsay. We discuss Marxism, how it evolved from a singular ideology
0:27.1	into a genus spawning many oppressors slash oppressed dogmas across modern culture ideas,
0:34.0	such as equity, critical race theory, queer theory. We trace these sub Marxist doctrines back past
0:40.8	fundamental narrative into the theological realm and detail their utility in what would you say
0:46.9	justifying the acquisition of power. We also discuss the grievance studies affair of which Dr.
0:52.4	Lindsay was a co-author. So James, I kind of feel like I know you. I follow you on Twitter and
0:57.9	watch all the trouble you cause or some of it anyways. And we did do a podcast a number of
1:02.9	years ago with Helen and Peter. But I actually don't know you. And so let's start with that. I'd
1:11.0	like to know a little bit more about you and let's let everybody who's watching and listening know too.
1:15.2	So let's say what what are you when you're not causing trouble on Twitter? What are you
1:21.2	involved in at the moment? I think causing what is your actual life look like? It's causing

1:42.0	Right. Right. Right. Because it's really funny. Everybody's telling me that I think it's true.
1:46.6	This is the best public speech you've ever given. And so what a you know, what a setting did
1:50.8	hit the one that you can't congratulate on that front? Well, it turns out that the night before
1:55.2	it's a silly story. The night before I had a smaller meeting in a restaurant with a number of the
1:59.2	MEPs from different countries. And I'm trying to talk and I tend to be humorous and speak quickly.
2:04.3	And this is just my style. And then all my jokes were landing flat. And I got a kind of awkward.
2:09.6	And I realized it's they don't speak English. English is not even, you know, they're not even all
