Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 135 We all know that equity is a form of socialism now, almost. We're also entering a new phase of the societal debate about the topic, so it's worth clarifying the issue. As it turns out, we do embrace and want to embrace certain forms of "equity" programs as it is actually defined, but only under certain conditions. Those limits to equity are most comprehensible by the many approaches to disability discussed in both the sane and the Woke-insane literature that might broadly be classified as "disability studies" or the philosophy of the phenomenon of disability in society. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay walks through four distinct models of interpreting disability and uses them to draw out the true limits to equity programs. Join him to learn how to discuss this topic with greater clarity and compassion so we can leave the Marxist versions behind forever.

0:52.0	So when you say that equity means equal outcomes,
0:54.6	that's what you're talking about.
0:55.6	Or equalizing is a better word to use.
0:58.5	It's equalizing outcomes.
1:01.9	As we've discussed in other episodes, especially in my new
1:04.3	discourse's bullets, we could actually say then that equity means
1:08.0	redistribution. It doesn't have to achieve the ideal of equal outcomes to mean redistribution. I did a short episode I
1:16.0	want recap the whole thing, a new discourse is bullet you should check out at some
1:19.1	point where I go through the idea that we should think of diversity, equity, and inclusion as politicize,
1:27.0	redistribute, and accommodate to re-normalize.
1:31.0	And so instead of DEI, it's really PRA.
1:33.3	It's we're going to politicize the organization
1:35.1	through a diversity push that's diversity

1:40.3	or the organization.
1:41.6	So you're going to bring in counterhegemonic agents as Antonio Graham,
