Hey everybody this is James Lindsay you're listening to new discourse's bullets

where I give a short kind of bullet point summary of one topic from Oak Marksism

or related to it that we need to understand so we can beat them and I want to

talk about linguistic discipline we've got to have some linguistic

discipline. You've got to be thinking about linguistic discipline. You've got to be encouraging people

to use linguistic discipline. Why? Because most of woke magic is word magic. We understand that they use a thing that the formal

wording for that it's not the point of the podcast, but you're going to have to hear it is called

conceptual polysemy which means that they are taking a single word and

attaching multiple meanings at the conceptual level to that word. So when they say inclusion it doesn't mean a

welcoming space it means a space that has been contoured to include things outside

of the hegemonic view. In other words to include communists.

Or when they say diversity they mean they don't mean diversity like things that are different

they mean diverse against cultural hegemony. In other words

communists it means the counter hegemony. We could go through this, we've done this game again and again and again.

That the words that they use have more than one meaning, the phrase for this, and I did a podcast about this already is called every woke term

conceals an agenda okay and if we don't have linguistic discipline we actually

encourage the mystification that comes with

word magic.

So we've got to be cautious with how we word things. The biggest example, I think, easiest example, before I talk more about why this is so important, is that we should be disciplining ourselves for example not only not to use

explicitly woke terms like diversity and inclusion without being very

cautious to specify what we mean if we have to use them.

Don't try to get in this stupid argument like, oh, well you're not including people like me.
