Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 65 One of the hottest topics in education (and beyond) right now is "resilience." Youth mental health initiatives are being launched and entrenched all over the country, not just through school counseling but also through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives, and their goal almost always includes "fostering emotional resilience." What is meant by "resilience" in the Woke Marxist context, though? We know it must mean something. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay draws from a UNESCO source (https://mgiep.unesco.org/article/sel-for-sdgs-why-social-and-emotional-learning-is-necessary-to-achieve-the-sustainable-development-goals) and explains that "resilience" refers to the opposite of "fragility," which means taking your brainwashing well. Join him to understand why these initiatives are not at all what they seem to sell themselves to be.

0:00.0	Hey everybody, it's James Lindsay. You are listening to new discourses of bullets where
0:14.9	I kind of distill one topic from woke marks us into a bullet point summary of what you
0:19.8	need to know so we can stop and defeat it. And due to many, many, many requests to do this,
0:27.3	today I'm covering the idea of resilience. Now I have to narrow this down so I cover only one
0:32.2	topic. I'm covering emotional resilience and education. And the reason that I'm narrowing it
0:38.2	down is because there's also the idea in the world economic form of creating resilient systems,
0:42.7	which means ones that are under their control. Today though we're talking about resilience programs
0:48.2	in education, which are going to be resilience programs under the broader umbrella of mental health
0:54.1	initiatives, mental health projects, all of these things that are looking to turn our schools
0:59.4	even more into medical facilities and hospitals for our children, which of course will eventually
1:05.0	be under the direction and guidance of the CDC. Now we've talked in the past a lot about social
1:10.6	emotional learning and social emotional learning is it turns out is sold as a resilience or emotional
1:16.8	resilience building program. So I'm just going to read to you a little bit from something that I'll
1:22.3	tell you what it is to give you an idea of what we're dealing with. So here is a description of
1:29.1	emotional resilience. Emotional resilience is the capacity to draw upon positive emotions to
1:35.3	cope with negative and stressful experiences. Remember this is what they want school to be about.
1:42.3	This requires regulation of emotional response in order to demonstrate emotional regulation
1:47.8	individuals need to be mindful, recognize emotional information, identify positive and negative
