Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 128 Woke Marxism has no limiting principles. It is, in fact, openly hostile to any such boundary on its own madness. As a result, it possesses no mechanisms to prevent the implementation of the worst possible ideas, as we often see, including in the education of young children. We have already seen this with drag queens, sex, sexuality, pleasure-based sex education, divisive Critical Race Theory in education, "gender affirming care" and transition, and who knows how much else. Now we confront "sanism" as a prejudice keeping the insane out of the classrooms of little kids. Sanism, according to the Woke, is an unjust privileging of sanity over insanity, and a handful of Canadian education researchers at Guelph University in Ontario have published the case (https://childcarecanada.org/documents/research-policy-practice/22/07/sanism-early-childhood-education-and-care-cultivating-space) for bringing madness and mad people into early childhood education and care. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through this terrible idea and laments that it wasn't one of his own "Grievance Studies" hoax papers from a few years back. Join him to push the limits of belief and to understand why we must stop Woke Marxism from taking a single further step forward in our societies.

And once again, I'm going to present to you a ridiculous academic paper.

0:29.8

Not necessarily because I think it's going to go anywhere, practically, maybe it will,

0:34.9

but partly because I wish we would have written this as one of our so-called grievance

0:39.1

studies affair hoax papers back in 2017 and 2018 if you don't know that story.

0:45.8

Some colleagues with me, Peter Bergotian, Helen Pluckrose, with the help of the filmmaker

0:50.8

Mike Naina, wrote a whole bunch of fake academic articles that were just over the top.

0:55.8

And when I saw this one, I thought, wow.

0:59.7

This would fit right in.

1:01.0

So we submitted those to peer-reviewed academic journals in gender studies and race studies

1:06.3

and so on.

1:07.3

And a bunch of them, seven of them got accepted for publication.

1:10.7

The whole story is a thing.

1:12.0

It's not the point of this podcast.

1:14.4

But this is a real paper that would have satisfied our interest.

1:18.9

In fact, as soon as I saw it, I sent it to Peter and Mike and said, can you believe we didn't

1:24.0

think of this?

1:25.0

It's so perfect.

1:27.2

And I want to read it just because what we understand now is that we kind of have to

1:36.0

look at where they, the way that the woke left or woke Marxists think because there's

1:44.5

no safeguard from these slippery slopes.

1:47.2

It's only a matter of the right people or wrong people as it were thinking that this idea
