Well, the woke revolutionaries on Twitter are gunning for James Lindsay. He's a mathematician. He's an academic

prankster. It's not quite the right word. He's brilliant. James Lindsay, Lindsay does not care.

He's moved beyond caring about academic radicals who bully anyone they disagree with and

they disagree with most of us. The last time we had James Lindsay on this podcast,

he was a little different than he is now. He's still cared about trying to find a way to reason with the

bullies of woke liberalism, but his new book doesn't give me much hope that that's gonna happen.

It is a ground-breaking book. It's called cynical theories how activist scholarship made everything about

and we've talked about it before, I don't think people really understand what's happening. They're

being duped by a lot of things. Really, in a way, in America, it is always this way. Are a

killi's heel is, I think, our willingness to just live and let live and just let people, and I

don't believe that, but that's okay. We're in a different time now. They've used that against us,

and now we're just at the very beginning of seeing how dangerous and literally deadly this will be.

Yep, that is correct assessment. This is not a ideology that we're looking at with everything

going on as we sell and say everything going on now. This is not an ideology that can tolerate

compromise. So, live and let live requires a acceptance that there will be compromise. It requires
