Hey everybody, it's James Lindsay and you're listening to new discourses, Bullets, in which

I give a short bullet point style summary of some single topic from woke Marxism or relevant

to woke Marxism that you need to know and understand to be able to do what we do to fight

it. And at the great risk, I think I'm going to create a new word today. I don't think

it's a word. It is a word, but I'm going to misuse it. I'm going to take a noun and

turn it into a verb, very woke thing to do. Frankly, that word is lens. And I want to

talk about lensing. I need you to understand that what they do is lensing or framing or

reframing is another way to put it. But they use the word theoretical lens, the woke

use the word theoretical lens all the time. And so what this is is when they take an

issue and they apply a particular interpretive lens to it in order to understand it in a

particular way. So usually what you're going to find is that they are going to take something

that was said and they're going to put a lens on it and discover how it was hidden racism.

So if you were to talk, say about operand conditioning and applied psychology happening

through social emotional learning and then compare it to Pavlov's dogs because that's

really where it kind of began. That's where operand conditioning comes from. The CRT

lensing effect might say that if you talk about brainwashing kids with SEL, especially

minority kids, now you're comparing minority children to dogs. And they've lensed it into

a racist interpretation. And we're all frustrated with these kinds of things. We're all frustrated

with these contortions of how things to be interpreted. What you have to understand and what

I really want to communicate now that I've kind of given you a taste of what I mean by lensing.

And I could give you a million examples from my own life, right? So I somehow have had

my claims that they are running an operation drag Floyd to provoke, provoke, provoke
